About an hour later, we're finally able to walk out of the studio. My back aches from all the poses, but I don't say anything, I just follow Leandro to the car. We buckle in, and drive off.
"We're going to go to my favorite brunch place. You'll love it, I swear" I simply nod, a small smile playing on my lips. After a few minutes of gazing out of the window, we stop in front of an expensive-looking restaurant.
"We're here, but stay in the car" I nod, confused as he steps out of the car. He walks around the car, opens my door, and holds his hand out for me. I lightly chuckle and take his hand. He leads me through the lobby, and we get led to our table. We are handed our menus, and I immediately get to reading it.
"So, what do you want to order?"
"I'll get some waffles and eggs, with orange juice" I look up, only to be faced by a smiling Leandro. "You have a sweet tooth, I see."
"I-I guess you could say that" He gives me a smile and reads the menu himself. After a few minutes, the waiter comes back, and Leandro gives our orders. I hand the waiter my menu and take a sip of the water she brought for us. Leandro faces out the window, but not for long, as his phone start ringing.
"Give me a minute" I nod at him, as he walks out of the restaurant. I wait for a few minutes, and even our food comes, but he doesn't come back. As I put my first bite in my mouth, I see his large frame coming back and sitting down. I look at him wide-eyed, before swallowing my bite. I wipe the excess whipped cream off the corner of my lips before talking.
"Is everything okay?" He sighs, before taking a bite. He swallows and answers. "Urgh, just something at work. Don't worry. But I thought you should know."
"K-Know what?" My palms visibly get sweaty. Don't tell me he knows.
"I'll have to head to London for business. The branch over there needs some serious sorting out. I'll be gone for 2 weeks, Maximum." I widen my eyes and drop my fork.
"Uhm, I needed to tell you something." He nods, urging me to continue talking. I take a sip of water before continuing. I-I booked a flight for London. I was going to surprise someone. Could I go?"
"Are you asking me permission?"
"I-I mean- yeah" I stumble over my words.
"You don't need to ask permission. And when's your flight?" I look in my clutch for my phone, then I pull it out and check the date.
"Tonight. At 8pm"
"Cancel it. We can go together" And to say my eyes widened, was an understatement. "W-what do y-you mean?"
"We'll go in my private jet. You'll be able to visit who you want, and I'll be able to work. Is that okay with you?"
"i- uhm, okay" and with that we keep eating. Halfway through my meal, I feel a gaze on me. I lift my head, only to find Leandro's eyes on me. He has a small smile on his face.
"You know, we haven't really gotten to know each other. And I don't really think that I'll have the time during out trip. So, tell me about yourself." I gulp down a big bite of food.
"You go first" I put my fork down, and look at him.
