"Just eat. We don't need to talk about what happened earlier." I told Lloyd.
"Thanks again."
"No problem. I just wish you find your girlfriend as soon as possible."
"I wish that too."
"Let's eat already. The food is getting cold."
____________________________________________
"You don't eat meat?" Lloyd asked me.
"I just eat fish and chicken. I don't know why but my stomach can't take beef and pork."
"You get indigestion?"
"Yeah. How did you know?"
"You're just like the person I know. She gets indigestion when eating beef or pork so she just eats fish and chicken but seafood is her favorite."
"She?"
"My girlfriend."
"Oh. But we really are the same. I love seafood especially shrimp and mussels."

As I was about to go in my hotel room after having a late lunch, Chrome called me.
"Theia.."
"Hello Chrome. I want to talk to you but I need to a take a nap. I'm feeling a bit tired." I said.
"Sure but is it okay if we go to dinner later?"
"Sure. No prob."
"Is 7:30 okay?"
"Yes."
"Okay, see you later."
____________________________________________
I woke up at 7 then took a shower to get ready for tonight's dinner. I put on my outfit and did some finishing touches on my look just in time before our dinner.
"Ready?" Chrome said as he offers his arm.
"Yes." I answered as I hold onto his arm.
____________________________________________
"You remembered." I said to Chrome.
"Remembered what?"
"That I like jazz."
"Of course that's why we went here. I really asked people to help me find a jazz restaurant."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
____________________________________________
"We haven't done this in a while."
"You're right. We became busy ever since we came here." I answered.
"How's work?" Chrome said.
"Fine. A bit tiring but you know it's what I like doing." I said.
"I heard about what happened to Lloyd."
"Yeah. Poor thing. He doesn't want to talk about what happened but I know he's hurting. I hope he finds her girlfriend already."
"Me too."
"How about you? How's your work?"
"Fine. The shoot today was fun. Oh, do you know I'd be shooting Lloyd and Benina together for a magazine spread tomorrow?"
"I know he has a photoshoot but I didn't know you'd be the photographer. That would be great."
"It is."

"Let's dance." Chrome said as extends his hand to me.
"Sure." I said as I placed my hand over his.
A fast beat Korean jazz-pop song suddenly plays.
Lock me down lock me up, inside chain of love, tie me up tie me down, don't let me run away, lock me down lock me up, grip me with your eyes
We just danced and had fun.

"Thanks for the night." I told Chrome.
"You're welcome. Thank you too for having dinner with me."
"Good night. See you tomorrow."
I was about to go inside my hotel room when..
"Theia.." Chrome said.
"Yes?" I answered.
Chrome suddenly kisses me.

"What has gotten into your mind to invite me for a drink?" Benina said to Lloyd.
"I just want to talk to someone. Is that wrong?" Lloyd answered.
"I was just joking. You know you can call me anytime. So how are you? I saw everything on the news."
"Can we not talk about it? I'm still in the process of taking it all in."
"Sure. No problem."
"Thanks. Benina.."
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you a question about Theia?"
"What about her?"
"Everything you know about her."
"Theia, well, I know she saved Chrome for this car accident so she lost her memory. Chrome felt guilty and also for thanking her, he let her stay in his house. That's all I know."
"How about Chrome and Theia? I mean are they.."
"Are they together? Well I know Chrome likes her and they're getting to know each other and all but I know Theia's still not sure about her feelings for Chrome. What's will all the questions?"
"Nothing. I'm just curious."

"I better go. I'm feeling a bit tipsy already. You know we still have a shoot tomorrow afternoon." Benina said.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Lloyd said.
"No thanks. I can manage it."
Benina started walking but she kept falling down so Lloyd helps her to get up and then carries her to his car.
"Let me take you home." Lloyd said.
"Is it okay for you to drive?"
"Yes. Don't worry."
____________________________________________
"Is this your house already?"
"Yup. Thanks for taking me home."
"Are you okay already?"
"Yup. Thank you. I can manage."
"Good night."
"Good night. Thanks again."
Benina opens the door and then kisses Lloyd on the lips before coming out.
