What Would It Take? (Fell in-love with an assassin destined to kill me)

Part 3: Devilishly handsome

"What dinner?" - I replied na medyo inis. He's playing with me and I hate it because we have a huge audience.

"Bennett is inviting her to dinner?"
"Who is that girl?"
"Is she dating THE Bennett Miller?"
"Lucky her"
"I hope he'll talk to me too"

Bulong-bulungan ng mga fans ni Bennett.

"Relax, I'm inviting you to dinner so we can talk about the shoot."

"Oh, that."

"Why? Did you expect something more?" - with matching wink and nakakalokong ngiti at tingin

"Of course not! *malalim na buntong hininga then cute smile and cute voice* Boss, thank you for the dinner invitation. Unfortunately, I must decline."

*cue gasps from everyone at the scene*

"I have a prior commitment. Let's talk about the shoot tomorrow. What time are you free? I'll adjust." - dagdag ko pa, in normal voice

"Too bad. But, we can talk tomorrow during your lunch break. I have something to fix here too."

"Okay. Lunch tomorrow. Got it. Also, did you really wait for 4 hours just to say this? I mean, you could have just messaged me. I gave you my number and my email address. One more thing, why did you come here personally? I am assuming you have your own team to work on matters like this."

"I told them I'd check you out personally. I wanted to see you and talk face-to-face."

"Even if you have to be like a zoo animal? Look at all these girls staring at you. I'd imagine it went on for 4 hours. Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable?"

"Boooo!" - sabi nung girls
"What's your problem?" - sabi nung parang pinaka leader nila.

"No. I want attention." - sabay wink ni jerk-faced Bennett

"Well, obviously!

Unfortunately, I do not want that. So let's talk in a peaceful place tomorrow, shall we?"

"Oohhh. Someone wants to be discreet. Are we going to do something we should not?"

"You know what, boss? It's kinda tiring talking to you so let's just talk business tomorrow please? I have to go now. I need lunch. I need energy. Got drained talking to you for only 10 minutes."

"Don't worry. I tend to have that effect to girls. My seductiveness sucks girl's energy."

"Oh boy. Now, I don't have the appetite to eat. I'm walking away before you suck out my willingness to live too."

Nagsimula na kaming maglakad ni Storm. Naiwan si Bennett with all the girls na uhaw sa kanya.

"Is that how you talk to your boss?" - medyo pasigaw na habol nya.

"Can't wait to see you tomorrow!" - dagdag pa nya

Di na ako sumagot, I just waived goodbye while nakatalikod.

"What was that?"

"Oh, Wynter. Kanina ka pa?" - Storm

"Yeah, I was watching and listening to Eanid and that hottie talk. Who's that?"

"Seriously?" - Storm

"See? Hindi lang ako ang hindi nakakakilala sa kanya"

"So, sino nga?"

"Bennett Miller, famous singer who wants to become an actor."

We ordered, looked for a table, and sat down for lunch.
