Beach City Grill, Santa Cruz, Monday afternoon

Feb 07, 2011 14:54

It was a typical day at the Beach City Grill. Trucker made moon eyes at Zo from afar and talked about surfing, Jen split her time between doing actual work and talking to her online BFF, Tish convinced all the attractive young male customers that she was innocent and in search of a sexual awakening, and Priestly made moon eyes at her from afar -- ( Read more... )

Yup, that would be Dinah calling. Because she was trying not to freak out too much. This was weird.

*ring*

And now someone wanted to get her an Evian. What the what?

Priestly answered, leaning a good half his body across the counter like they weren't, you know, totally still open and customer-having. "Hey, pretty lady."

Tish shot Jen a look. "Are you sure they're not dating?"

Jen snickered.

"Priestly!" A sane person! Who wouldn't talk about eyebrow contours! Well, maybe he would. But he'd talk about the politics of it too. "I am having the weirdest day. Um. On this undercover job."

"Helena sent me pictures." Priestly grinned at the phone. "I swear, your life is so much more interesting than mine."

"You say that like you have a life," Tish called.

"That's true," Priestly called back cheerfully.

"She did? Oh, I am so hitting her later." Dinah facepalmed and sat down in one of the tall director's chairs they had around for the models, and accepted the Evian just to make the P.A. go away. "Cognitive dissonance is hitting me, so. Was that Tish? HI TISH!"

Re: A bit later... lovemykilt February 7 2011, 21:35:33 UTC

"Dinah says 'HI TISH!'"

Tish rolled her eyes. "Oh lord, you two are meant for each other."

Priestly ignored her. "What kind of cognitive dissonance? Don't you just have to, like, stand there and look pretty?"

Priestly didn't know anything about modelling.

"I have to move like, a fraction of an inch, every five seconds. Then I have to pout more. Then I have to give them 'soft eyes' whatever the heck that means." Dinah pouted, then crouched over her phone and whispered, "They're all waiting on me! Getting me stuff! It's bizarre! And I can't go anywhere by myself, so how can I find a saboteur in all this?!"

Re: A bit later... lovemykilt February 7 2011, 21:42:39 UTC

"Okay, yeah, that would be a little bit weird. Uh. Maybe you can. . . ." Priestly thought, tapping his knuckles against his forehead. "Can you talk to people, at least? Maybe you can recruit a PA or something."

Photoshoots had PAs, right? Someone had to be running around getting her stuff.

Re: A bit later... blondecanary February 7 2011, 21:44:21 UTC

"Dude." Dinah sat up and talked in her normal voice. "You're a genius. Duh. I had fun being a P.A. on Tony's set, and he always knew everything that was happening. You're brilliant!" She did a little happy dance in her chair.

Re: A bit later... lovemykilt February 7 2011, 21:56:03 UTC

"Hey, that's what Alfreds are for."

Behind him, Tish mouthed 'Alfred'?, then tilted her head consideringly.

. . . No way, that couldn't be his first name, could it? He wouldn't just let it slip.

On the other hand, he was leaning on the counter like he was a fourteen year old at a sleepover, so who knew?

Re: A bit later... blondecanary February 7 2011, 23:52:13 UTC

"Yes you are," Dinah said, totally pleased. "I'm telling Alfred you deserve bonus recipes for this. I really didn't want to tell Barbara that I was being corralled by make-up artists." She grinned and leaned back. "So the photos look good? Honestly, I don't even recognize myself."

Re: A bit later... lovemykilt February 8 2011, 00:05:12 UTC

"Dude, they're, like, crazy good. Everyone here agrees. Even Mr. Julius."

Mr. Julius actually hadn't commented at all. It was entirely possible he thought Dinah looked like a tramp, but knew if he said that, Priestly would do horrible things to his sandwiches.

Re: A bit later... blondecanary February 8 2011, 00:10:45 UTC

"Awww! Thank you. Tell Mr. Julius I said thank you too." She beamed, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm not in it to win, but at least I don't have to be embarrassed, you know? Although I still have to explain this to Kyle. I think telling him I lost a bet to Helena is the way to go."

Re: A bit later... lovemykilt February 8 2011, 00:16:17 UTC

"Definitely. What's up with you two, anyway? I need details."

Re: A bit later... blondecanary February 8 2011, 00:25:40 UTC

"You gotta dish on Tish if I do," Dinah pointed out. "We're still dating! And he knows about the powers. He didn't take it as well as you did, but he seems to be okay with it now."

She turned pink, and one of the random photographers took a photo of her. Blinking the light out of her eyes, she added, "He's really, really nice."

Re: A bit later... lovemykilt February 8 2011, 00:28:50 UTC

"He'd better be, or I'll kill him. As for . . ." Priestly trailed off and glanced over at Tish. She either wasn't listening or was just pretending she wasn't. "You know, things are . . . going. . . . in a going sort of direction of . . . not going anywhere."
