Chapter 11
.back at the griffith observatory.
Ken didn’t know why he didn’t feel like partying with Jerry and Vanness that night or even going back to his room to sleep like Vic. He just didn’t want to rest yet, but didn’t want to exert too much effort either. So after telling Jerry and Vanness that he still wasn’t going with them, despite his and Dana’s truce, he went out of the hotel and took a walk. He was really grateful that they weren’t as popular in the U.S. as they were in Asia. It wasn’t that he didn’t love having fans and all that, but there were just some times when he wished he could walk around on the streets like a normal person again. He supposed all celebrities eventually wished the same thing once or twice, and he was lucky to be one of the celebrities who could fulfill that wish, especially in Hollywood, where the biggest stars were. He stopped as he realized where his feet had taken him. He was back at the Griffith Observatory. And that was a long way from his hotel. I’ve been walking that long? he asked himself and noticed just then that the sun had set. No doubt Jerry and Vanness were having the time of their lives meeting new girls at that bar. And Vic was surely already in dreamland. As for him?
He walked towards the steps that led to the balcony of the observatory, the one that faced the mountains where the Hollywood sign was, the place where he first saw Dana with her boyfriend, and where he saw Dana now.
“Huh?” he squinted his eyes and looked closer towards the figure that was sitting on the ledge, looking over at the mountains. The red hair in a messy ponytail was unmistakably hers. “Dana?” he asked.
