"So, you gotta girlfriend" Armie teased Timmy as they sat down at the table. Timmy scowled at him and just shook his head.
"She's not my girlfriend" Timmy said to the menu. Armie hadn't known Timmy while he was in a relationship, he's only known him be in a relationship with him and it was weird seeing him like this with a girl.
"Oh come on, you want her to be. You two would be cute" Armie pushed Timmy, knowing he hates him right now.
"Shut up, you don't even know her" Timmy said as the waitress came over. They both watched at the waitress looked at them both and then looked as if she was about to have a heart attack.
"Hello, I'm Lisa. What can I get you two this morning?" Her smile was too wide, it scared them both slightly but they moved onto the food.
"I'll have the big egg breakfast please and for you Elio?" Armie grinned over to Timmy. Timmy looked at the waitress who looked as if she was about to faint. She was hyperventilating quite a bit.
"I will have some blueberry pancakes please" Timmy did not join in with Armies cheek. The waitress nodded quickly and rushed away. "Armie" Timmy scolded him, Armie just laughed.
"Did you see her face?" Armie couldn't stop laughing. Timmy shook his head at his childishness.
"I can't believe you just called me Elio in public" Timmy got out his phone and took a photo of him for his Instagram story. Armie was still laughing so Timmy got a great candid of him.
And for you Elio?
"So, she's in London" Armie became serious all of a sudden. He was ready to get down to the bottom of Timmy's feelings.
"Unfortunately." The waitress came over again just as he spoke with a big tub of orange juice.
"Orange juice? Or can I get you something else?" She seemed much calmer now. Timmy held out his empty glass and she filled it with juice before turning to Armie.
"Black coffee please" he smiled at the woman. Obviously she had either given herself a pep talk or had been given one because now she was very well put together. That was until Timmy winked at her and then she almost dropped the jug of juice.
"Timmy" Armie scolded him but Timmy just laughed.
"I preferred it when she was a mess" Timmy shrugged like an asshole. Armie threw a bread roll at him which made them both burst out laughing.
"You can't be winking at waitresses if you're in a committed relationship" Armie pointed at him, Timmy rolled his head around his body.
"I'm not in a committed relationship" he wanted to be, he wanted Ella to be his girlfriend but they hadn't known each other for long enough, at least not by Timmy's standards.
"Ah, that'll change. She's wife material" Armie was teasing him but it was scaring Timmy. He picked up his juice and gulped it down.
"Shut up. I've spent a total of four days with her." Timmy was downplaying how much he liked Ella, he wasn't sure he wanted to admit how much he liked her because that would mean they were in big trouble.
"Didn't your parents meet when they were like twenty, how old are you?" Armie teased again, Timmy was growing impatient.
"Armie, please." Timmy moaned as the waitress placed their food on the table in front of them.
"Can I get you anything else?" She smiled widely. They both shook their heads and she spun around and walked away.
"She seemed fun at the Oscars" Armie went back to talking to about Ella but Timmy didn't catch on.
"Who the waitress?" Timmy dug into his pancakes with his knife and fork. Armie started to laugh at him.
"No, Ella! It seemed as if you two had a good time at the Oscars." Timmy didn't look at him, he stared at his pancakes and sliced them angrily.
"Are we still talking about this?" He didn't feel like getting teased about Ella right now, he was missing her too much.
"I'm married with two kids. I'm never going to have that exciting new relationship kinda feeling again." Armie complained as he cut up his breakfast.
"That 'new relationship kinda feeling' is kinda overtaken with how much I am missing her right now" Timmy confessed, Armie's smirk dropped and he knelt his head towards him.
"When was the last time you saw her?" Armie didn't know what Timmy was like in a relationship and he was keen to see.
"Just over a week ago and now I have just over a week until I can see her again at Coachella" he shoved a bit of pancake in his mouth and soaked up the blueberry goodness.
"Coachella will be fun though! You'll have a great time there!" Armie sounded like he was trying to sell Ella to him or try and convince him she was worth it. They both already knew she was worth it.
"Yeah and then two days later I'll have to say goodbye again" Timmy reminded him of their long distance. Armie shrugged, he had never been in a long distance relationship so he really couldn't help but he figured anyone can make anything work if they wanted it hard enough. "Can we talk about something else please? Your making blueberry pancakes depressing for me" Whenever Timmy thought about Ella, his heart ached for her.
"Got any movies lined up?" He grinned because what else do actors talk about than movies?
"I got an audition for a role to play a king lined up" Timmy had been sent the audition script a couple days prior. Armie was intrigued, thinking Timmy would make a sexy king.
"Wait wait, an English king?" He smirked, bringing it back to Ella.
"Yep" Timmy hadn't made the connection yet but Armie was sure he would get there.
"So you would film it in England?" Armie hinted again and this time Timmy got it. He rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"I dunno man, I told you to change the subject" Timmy didn't want to get his hopes up about the movie, he knew if he didn't get the role he would be devastated since getting the role meant going to London to be with Ella.
"Okay sorry. What king? Tell me more"
Timmy liked to walk home sometimes, the subway was a nightmare and he loved the New York streets. He avoided tourist areas and went the back way home, to his tiny apartment full of things that would remind him of Ella. His phone started to ring as soon as he turned onto his block.
"Salut Pauline" he answered. His sister, Pauline, was very dear to him. They had always been close growing up and Timmy loved taking her to all his fancy places he got to go now.
"Tim, are you going to Coachella?" She asked without even saying hello, talk about getting to the point.
"Yes, why? Are you?" He turned onto his street and waited for his sisters reply.
"I want to. Can you get me a day pass for the final day, it's the only day I could go?" Pauline never asked Timmy for anything which is why she felt so comfortable asking him for this.
"Of course, do you want to bring anyone?" He started to urge for coachella to happen quicker now.
"No I'll just tag along with you and your friends. Who are you going with?" Timmy hoped she wouldn't ask this question. "Are you going with Ella Lawrence?" Timmy stopped at his apartment steps in shock.
"How do you know about her?" He racked his memory, had he told his sister?
"Mom told me. Is she going? Do I get to meet her?" Pauline almost sounded excited which spooked Timmy a bit.
"Yes she's coming. Don't scare her Pauline." She heard a small squeal from the other end.
"I won't, I won't, I promise. I'm a big fan but I'll keep my cool" she laughed. Timmy slapped his forehead, now his sister was going to meet Ella.
"Okay, I gotta go. Je t'aime Pauline" he leant against the pillar of his apartment complex and waited for her to say goodbye.
"Au revoir. Merci!" She practically sang down the phone. Timmy couldn't help but smile at his sisters excitement and then hung up on her.
