Brian orders for Andrea

Andrea hesitated when asked for ‘her’ order only for a moment and was beginning to ask for beef bourguignon, but Brian interrupted with, “She’ll share my starter, and have the French salad for mains”.

Andrea was stunned that Brian would have the balls and bullheadedness to order for her like that but avoided chastising him for fear of upsetting him.

Still, this had pissed Andrew off, not that Brian noticed as he took dominance over the conversation and behaved more obnoxiously than ever before.

Even still, Andrea let Brian play footsie with ‘her’ under the table, and thanks to Charlene’s training ‘she’ couldn’t help but surreptitiously flirt with Brian, the waiting staff, and Henry.

Andrea didn’t particularly enjoy the food ordered for ‘her’ but made a show of it being “like super-duper yummy”.

Between the mains and desert (tiramisu for two, ordered by Brian again), Andrea went to the bathroom to freshen up (as ‘her’ mother taught her), and came back to find Brian on the phone.

Only it wasn’t his phone he was talking into, but Andrea’s!

“…real sweetheart, honestly. Aw thanks, she’s pretty lucky to have a friend as cool as you. Oh hi babe, you’re back, I’ll just pass you on. Real nice speaking to you”, Brian chatted down the mobile before handing it to his date.

The familiar voice of Kristi wafted out of the speaker.

“Wow, your boyfriend is so funny! You’ve got yourself a catch there! Sorry to interrupt your date, I just wanted to give you the deets for the shoot on Saturday. I’ll just text you them instead. Have an awesome date! Ciao!”.

Ordering for ‘her’ was one thing but answering ‘her’ phone to somebody he didn’t even know while ‘she’ was away was way out of line.

Andrea managed to compose ‘herself’ and smile through ‘her’ fury though, Brian thankfully not catching on to ‘her’ rage.

‘She’ was more than happy to let Brian pay for everything, ‘her’ evening being the disaster that it was, and Henry, who had greatly enjoyed Andrea’s flirtations sent them off letting them know that “We shall av a tab-le roddy fer yoo olways, mon cheris!”.

Brian continued to drone on during the car trip back, and Andrew was thankful to take off the waist trainer and call it an early night, even with Brian gushing down the phone at how much of a good time he had, which Andrew was thankful for in the very least.

With the way Brian obviously felt about Andrea, it would be real hard dumping his ass after the concert.
