of a new movie in my future. A hot new man I’d been crushing on forever. Life was good.
Cade: Good Morning Ms. Foster. I hope you have a nice run.
Me: Thanks! Back at ya.
Cade: What have you got going on today after your run?
I giggled to myself. He likes me! He likes me! It felt a little school girlish but so great.
Me: Re shoots out at the studio. Lunch with Daniel Lawson. Photo shoot. Then dinner with my parents. You?
Cade: Wow! Busy girl. Just going to the studio with the guys. Nothing major. I was hoping to get you out there today but someone is in high demand.
Me: I know! It should lull in a few days. I have the premier Saturday and then I’m pretty open. Know anyone interested in seeing a movie?
Cade: Are you seriously asking me to spend an evening rubbing elbows with Hollywood Royalty? It would be such a chore. I’d hate it.
Me: Oh, well never mind then. I’ll find another beefcake.
Cade: No need. This beefcake would love to come with you. Just let me know where to come pick you up. Will this be our first official date??
Me: Unless you grow a pair and ask me out before then, yes. Why are you such a little girl? I think I know who will wear the pants in our relationship. You will wear NO pants. At all. Or shirt. That’s an order.
Cade: HAHA. OK, funny girl. Enjoy your run. Hope you can clear your schedule for your boy toy before Saturday.
Me: I will see what I can do for you, stud muffin. ;)
I just love banter in the morning. I smiled hugely and bounced down my stairs, across the house, and into the fresh morning air. I ran for longer than usual full of energy and lightness. Today was going to be the best day ever!!!
Today is officially the worst day ever!!!! Everyone on set was in a pissy mood, traffic was horrible. My “mother” in the movie was a classic Hollywood diva, and was making completely crazy demands of the crew. It was one freaking day, and then the movie was done! These people really drove me crazy sometimes.
Daniel pulled up to get me then and I ran out and jumped in his fancy European sports car. We had been encouraged to do this lunch to get more attention for our movie that was premiering on Saturday. We had gotten to know each other when we filmed the movie a year ago and didn’t mind stirring up rumors and attention to create more buzz. It was just what we were used to doing by then.
We ate in a prime location and pressed our heads together as if flirting. We were really just laughing and talking about his crazy family. He had just gone on vacation with his girlfriend and showed me some pictures of her. She was nice and normal. We talked about her and called her together so she would know nothing was really going on. Daniel had learned the hard way about being open about this kind of thing in their relationship. It had taken her a while to understand why we put up with this kind of thing, but it helped when his costars went out of their way to help her see the situation for what it really was.
I got a text when we were finishing up and trying to convince the owner to let us pay for our food. It was crazy how much free stuff we were given when we made so much money. Give it to the people who need it. Jeez.
Cade: I see on E! News Im fighting Daniel Lawson 2 b ur boy toy. U look friendly on my 70” TV.
I re-read the message a few times looking for hidden meanings. When Daniel came back from signing autographs, I showed it to him and asked him for a male perspective. He kind of fangirled when I told him the text was from Cade. He said that Cade sounded a little jealous and was probably trying to find out who his competition was. He told me to send him the picture we took to send to his girlfriend. I laughed, and sent it.
Under it, I typed: Nothing 2 see here.
Cade: I’m creeped out now….
Me: HAHA. He is a fan of urs and weird like me. We took the picture 2 send 2 his g/f and he
