"you look very beautiful" he complimented her for the 7th time tonight.

"thank you" she blushed, again.

"when are you going to the uk?" he asked, his accent very present.

"whenever you invite me" she flirted with a small smirk. "are you going to give me a tour?" she drank her red wine.

"of course. i'll give you a tour of wherever you want, my home included"

cindy giggled, "i didn't think you'd be so.. i thought you'd be more serious but your very like, open" she smiled.

"well" he shrug his shoulders.

they talked and laughed the entire night. they both made each other laugh and feel good. cindy found him attractive but she just wasn't into him.

besides, her mind was somewhere else. she couldn't help but think that jack was inviting her and her friends to the studio already.

"are you feeling okay?" he asked, "we could call it a night if your not feeling good?"

"i'm fine, but it is getting pretty late" she looked down at her phone.

"i had fun" he smiled, with a small nod. "we should do it again"

"yeah" she smiled back at him. "when do you leave?"

"next week"

"ohh, okay" she nodded, "let me know if you need a tour around or something"

he nodded and took a few seconds of silence before he began to speak again, "so your not with anybody?"

"anybody? what do you mean?"

"like are you seeing anyone?"

she slightly scoffed, "no, i'm not with anybody"

"just making sure" he innocently chuckled, "in that case, um, are you free tomorrow? some friends and i are going for a boat ride"

"oh tomorrow?" she asked, knowing she couldn't. he nodded, "okay" she smiled.

"do you want me to pick you?" he asked.

"sure- um, around what time though?"

"around two"

"actually, do you think you can pick me up on set?" she asked.

"of course" he said with a nod, "just send me the addy"

he asked for the check and they continued talking as they waited for it. when it got to the table with the waiter, cindy pulled out her credit card from her purse as he looked at her confused.

"what are you doing?" he asked.

"i'm going to pay for it-"

"i invited you, so i pay" he slightly smiled.

"no-"

"here you go" he gave the waiter his card.

the waiter left, and cindy sat there with her credit card in her hand. "i could've at least paid for my meal"

"i got it, don't worry" he gave her a bigger smile. "don't tell me males be making you pay for yourself?" he asked genuinely curious. "are all americans like that?"

"luckily, no" she giggled, making him chuckled. "i just didn't want to-"

"here you go" the waiter came back and give him the pen to sign.

as soon as he signed, they walked out the restaurant.

"new boyfriend cindy?" paparazzi yelled out, with the cameras flashing everywhere.
