The Future King And I

The Cove Bar was ALWAYS one of my favorite places in Disney California Adventure Park. Despite not at all caring about alcohol – don’t worry, they had plenty of non-alcoholic drinks to tickle my fancy – I was most certainly never there for the beverages. No, not at all. I would frequent this incredible establishment because of their heavenly lobster nachos that were truly to die for.

I couldn’t be more serious about my love for these lobster nachos. I ordered them the first time I ever went there and never once ordered anything else. They had an entire menu full of foods that I’m most certain were all extraordinary, but I’ll never know because I only ever got those angelic lobster nachos. I swear to you all, Jesus himself was in the kitchen making them things up because lord have mercy! They were too good to be of this world! Despite not having had them in years, I can still close my eyes and taste the deliciousness of those damn lobster nachos in my memory. God Bless.

Despite my immense affinity for the lobster nachos, something even more spectacular happened to me once at the Cove Bar that amazingly enough didn’t involve them whatsoever. Like with the taste of my beloveds, I can literally close my eyes and watch as the entire scene plays out over and over again across my mind. It was truly a life-changing moment for me and one that I’ll never, ever be able to forget. I’ll be a hundred years old in a nursing home and telling all the nurses about this moment in my life because it was that impactful. I already know they’re all going to be so jealous and they have every right to be.

As stated, I was dining at the Cove Bar with a former friend and her aunt when I had to use the restroom. The Cove Bar, for those who sadly never had the opportunity to go, was entirely outside and overlooked the lagoon where the breathtakingly spectacular World of Color show would unfold each evening. It was attached to the building that housed Ariel’s Grotto character dining restaurant and the restrooms for both eateries were housed inside on the lower level of Ariel’s Grotto.

I maneuvered my way downstairs and into the restroom following a well-dressed and hatted young man inside. As we both chose our urinals, we did so with proper protocol and left a single one between the two of us. I completed my business, he completed his, and we both turned to wash our hands in the sinks behind us. Fortunately for me, the entire wall was a mirror. As I looked up at myself I took notice of the boy to my left and my heart immediately started pounding so fast that I thought it was going to run a marathon straight up my throat and into the sink. Thank goodness I hadn’t had my beloved lobster nachos just yet and had literally just peed, otherwise, I might very well of stood there and made a mess of my pants!

Knowing good and well who was standing immediately next to me had me screaming on the inside. I managed to maintain my composure and avoid screaming aloud, but internally, you better believe I was wailing. Standing there and washing his hands in the very same fashion I was washing mine was literally none other than the planetary prince himself: Brooklyn Beckham.

It’s my humble opinion that Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham, are true global royalty. They represent all of the best aspects of humanity and I literally could not love the two of them more. They have four beautiful children, of which Brooklyn is the eldest, and everything about their family is enriched in style, sophistication, and above all else, love. They’re truly simply the best, better than all the rest.

Victoria was and will forever be my favorite Spice Girl. All five Spices brought something unique and spectacular to what is undoubtedly the greatest girl group of all time, but it was always Victoria for me. She was smart, sophisticated, stunning, strong, and spicy. I just love her so much. Then when she married David, who is UNDOUBTEDLY the world’s ALL TIME greatest athlete – period, they became the royal couple our planet deserved.

A quick little side story – when I was captain of the best kept secret in the cutthroat world of indoor soccer: The Bruisers. I would always wear one of David’s various colognes during each game in hopes that just by wearing his scent it would somehow help me harness his phenomenal energy and play at a level that was prayerfully just 1% of his. I just absolutely love him. My love for David and Victoria transcends place and time because I truly cannot recall a time in my life where I wasn’t absolutely smitten by them both!

As I sit here and write up this story, I find myself fantasizing that the now infamously bizarre conversation I created with that unsuspecting individual in my I Seriously Need To Get Lasik Eye Surgery post was a conversation held between Brooklyn Beckham and I. Oh, what a dream it would be to have been able to tell him I was just at his parents house for lunch… *sighs heavily*

Anyway, so back to the real story here, so there I was staring at him relentlessly in the mirror wondering what in the world I was even going to say to this amazing young man who has been absolutely blessed since birth. Now yes, his parents are unrivaled in life, but Brooklyn is a seriously talented photographer, so don’t think for a second he’s just coasting off the coattails of his perfect parents, he’s making his own name for himself. So as you can imagine, my heart was still pounding so fast that the kinetic energy it was creating could very well have powered the entirety of Disney’s California Adventure Park! I had a million things I wanted to blurt out at him, but as we both finished washing our hands and made our way over to the paper towel dispenser, I found my window of opportunity closing fast.

The reality of the situation is, I should’ve been more prepared for this. Because of this beautiful Twitter account @DisneylandCelebs – of which I always had the notifications turned on for – I knew that young Brooklyn was in the parks that day with his girlfriend at the time, actress Chloe Grace Moretz, and that they were there on a double date with one of my other favorite people, MEGHAN TRAINOR, and her now husband, but then boyfriend, Daryl Sabara (of Spy Kids fame)! I’d been in the parks dozens of times when there were A List celebrities, but never when there was true life royalty! I mean, there we were, the future king and I! Shame on me for not being better prepared, but I was so starstruck I couldn’t find my words!

Brooklyn used his paper towel to open the door before tossing it in the trash and then he held the door open for me. I hope you read that the way I wrote it. BROOKLYN BECKHAM, THE ELDEST SON OF DAVID AND VICTORIA BECKHAM, HELD THE DOOR OPEN FOR ME! Let me reiterate, THIS PRINCE HELD THE DOOR OPEN FOR ME! A MERE COMMONER! I never thought anything that amazing would ever happen to me. It was such a blessing.

Even with his extreme grace and hospitality on full display, I failed to say a word. Which, I’m sure he’s unknowingly thankful for. I was so scared that if I opened my mouth to speak that nothing coming out of it would’ve made any sense and I would’ve just started crying. Poor Brooklyn was only seventeen at the time and didn’t need me pulling some Stranger Danger moment on him. He was just there living his best life in the Happiest Place on Earth and certainly didn’t need some lunatic ruining his day, so I said nothing and we both returned to our respective tables. Or… well, he returned to his and I wandered about the hallway aimlessly till he got back and I was able to snap a secret picture of them all, but nonetheless, eventually we both made it back to our own tables.

So, there you have it, I shared a restroom with one of the world’s most talented and perfect people. This story is such a beautiful gem in the crown of my life’s greatest moments and for that I’m so blessed. I just wish I could celebrate this memory with a plate of those godly lobster nachos for that would truly be divine.
