Chapter 5

(Liz and AJ walk into the restaurant)
Hostess:  May I help you?
AJ:  Yes reservation for Suede please.
Hostess:  (checks the book to see if the name is there) Ah yes, please wait while I go check to see if your table is ready.
AJ:  No problem
Liz: (whispering to AJ) Suede?  Why did you give them that name?
AJ:  Cause I didn’t want to be hassled about being a Backstreet boy tonight.
Liz:  Gottcha.
Hostess:  Your table is ready…right this way please.
AJ:  After you.
Liz:  Thanks.
(They walk to their table, which has a picture perfect view of the ocean)
Liz:  This is such a beautiful view.
AJ:  No it isn’t…I’ve seen better. (AJ pulls the chair out for Liz and she sits down)
Liz:  Oh yea, where?
AJ:  When I look at you.
Liz:  I think I’m gonna cry. 
AJ:  Don’t do that…cause then people would think I brought you here to break up with you or something.  And then the press will get a hold of it…and behold the headlines…AJ MCLEAN…TOTAL CREEP.
Liz:  (laughs) You are so strange sometimes you know that.
AJ:  But that’s why you love me.
(Liz doesn’t answer)
AJ:  Um this is where you say…damn straight it is.
Liz:  Sorry, let’s do it again…TAKE 2.
AJ:  But that’s why you love me.
Liz:  Damn straight it is.
AJ:  Better.
Liz:  So what do you think you’re gonna get.
AJ:  I have no idea…I haven’t even started to look yet. (Opens up menu and starts to look)
Waitress:  Hello, my name is Candy, and I will be your waitress this evening…can I start you off with something to drink?
AJ:  Yes, your best bottle of champagne, please.
Candy:  Very good choice sir, I’ll be back to take your orders soon.
(Candy walks away. Liz starts to laugh)
AJ:  What’s so funny?
Liz:  I can’t believe someone would actually name their kid Candy.
AJ:  I found that funny too…it’s like a snob name or something.
Liz:  I was thinking more along the lines of a hooker…but snob will do too.
AJ:  Shh, here she comes.
Candy: (Puts the champagne down on the table) Are you two ready to order?
Liz:  I’m ready…I’ll have the lobster platter please.
Candy:  Very good and you sir?
AJ:  I’ll have the T-bone steak, medium well please.
Candy:  Baked potato, mashed, or french-fries?
AJ: French-fries please.
Candy:  Ok, thank you and if there is anything you need…don’t be afraid to ask.
Liz:  We will thank you.
(The two enjoy their meals and have a great time; AJ pays the bill and the two leave)
Liz:  Man that was good.  I’m beat.
AJ:  Oh no your not…the night isn’t over yet…we have one more stop to go to.
Liz:  Oh yea…and where’s that?
AJ:  You’ll see.
Liz:  Ugh, I hate it when you do that.
AJ:  I know.
