What they were doing for the next three days was new to Brad and really usual for Angelina. Brad had never held a real gun, only a fake one in his movies. But an FBI team had to teach him how to hold it properly from scratch. An older man gave him instructions while Angelina was shooting a target.
"Can you please stop while he is telling me what to do?", Brad requested.
She took off the headset and turned to them holding a loaded handgun. "What?"
"Ang, careful with that. Glock 42 only seems safe.", the man said.
"No, it doesn't. Not one gun seems safe.", Angelina replied still holding a gun in an unsafe position.
"Just put it down.", Brad begged.
After the training ended they decided to go something to eat. They found a table in a nearby restaurant and ordered a vegan salad for Angelina and a lobster for Brad.
"Are you vegan?", Brad asked her.
"No. I just love to have a nice salad."
"Why didn't you get a regular one?"
"Shut up, you're eating a lobster for lunch."
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Sorry, I forgot for a second that you're a celebrity."
They started to eat and Angelina felt uncomfortable because everyone in that half-empty restaurant was staring at them plus the paparazzi outside. She suspected a woman who sat behind them called the paparazzi.
"I can't eat if all of them are staring.", Angelina emphasized all of them to make everyone look at them, but it didn't work.
Brad didn't say anything, stopped eating and leaned forward to face her. Then he kissed her.

"You're zero romantic, you know?", Angelina said after they got back to her apartment.
He drove her all the way to her doorstep and came inside with her.
"Go get ready."
"Why? Where are we going?"
"Just get ready. Don't ask anything."
She went to her bedroom and put on a short, dark emerald dress and illusionally invisible cream d'orsay pumps. Then she fixed her hair and let it down wavy.
Meanwhile, Brad was talking to Marcheline, who was babysitting Maddox.
"Are you married?", Marcheline asked him.
"I won't be very soon.", he answered looking down.
"Is that because of my daughter?"
Angelina came in. "Mom!"
"You look...", both Marcheline and Brad started.
"...cute.", Marcheline said.
"...beautiful!", Brad stammered.
Angelina smiled. "Thanks."
They had a drink with Marcheline then they said goodbyes and Angelina kissed her son. Afterward, they drove to the beach.
"Gorgeous sunset. Why are we here?", Angelina asked looking at the colorful sky.
Brad didn't hesitate. He kissed her as soon as she said that. They made out for some time.
"I can be romatic.", he smiled and so did she.
She kissed him again and smiled. "And not surprising."
It was just what she does. She has a sarcastic comment for everything people say. Now she was really enjoying the day. They spent the whole day sitting in the sand at the empty beach near the house which will soon be their.
