I Am A Photographer and He Is My Model

I met Paul years ago, just because of modeling. I am his photographer and Paul is my model. At first we were strangers. All of us must gone into that stage before you and him became friends. And that's it, me and Paul are strangers for now I know it will take time for us to become friends. It's still awkward sometimes for me 'cause I am a woman and my model is a man. At first, yeah it was difficult for me to adjust but I am still his photographer. I can't do anything because I chose to be like this, I chose to be a photographer. Months past by so fast and I didn't notice that me and Paul became friends, friends but not as close as you'll have a bestfriends. In those 8 months of working together with him me and Paul became friends, but as far as I feel for him I already think I have a crush on him or should I say he's my first love? He's been my crush for almost 6 months already. But still I am comfortable when I am with him. Until he reach me out and said that he set a date for the two of us on weekends cause it's our off. He said he has something to say to me. So I agree on the date he said. And here it is, the day has come, our so called date has come. I know he's already waiting for me at the cafe he told me about. He texted me address of the cafe. It's already 2:00pm in the afternoon and our date will be at 3:00pm, I'm already dressed up, but still here am I sitting in front of the mirror. My phone rang, I know it was already Paul so I pick it up and answer his call.
"Hey.."

"Uhmmm, are you coming? Or not?", he askED.

" Yeah, I'm coming. I'm already dressed up. Don't worry I'll come.", sagot ko.

"Oh, great. Okay, I'll just wait you here."

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Can I pick you up?", he asked

"Nah its okay. I'll bring my car with me. Just wait for me there.", I answered.

"Okay, I'll wait."

I stood up after I ended the call. Damn, he's driving me crazy.

I don't even have a clue on what is he going to say at the cafe. "I am just his photographer, why bother set a date for the both of us?" That what my mind was saying right now. Damn I have a lot of "what if's" in my mind, but I set it aside. I stared at the mirror for a second when my sister called me, my little sister, Yesha.

"Hey, it's almost 3:00pm aren't you going? Huh?"

"I'm going down sis, I'll bring my car with me."

" Oh? He's not going to pick you up?", my sister.

" He? Who?"

"Oh come on sis, don't fool me. He! Kuya Paul, he's not picking you up?"

"Oh, Paul. Nope he's not. I insist that I'll bring my car with me."

"Oh okay. Take care sis, bye."

"Okay."

I went to my car and start the engine and then go! I'm going to the cafe already. The cafe isn't far enough so after a couple of minutes I already arrived at the cafe Paul had told me. I see Paul sitting and looking over on his phone. Hmm looks like he's waiting for my text. So I texted him

"Hey, I'm already here outside."

"Really?"

"Yeah, turn around Paul", I said.

Paul turns around and there he saw me standing inform of my car. Paul went out the cafe, and walk towards me.

"Hey, let's go inside?"

"Okay."

"Take my hand, Andrea."

"Huh? Wait! What?", nalilito kong tanong.

"I said take my hand."

"Oh."

I stared at Paul's hand and grab it. We walk together towards the cafe like a real couple. We arrived at the table he reserved for us, he let go of my hand and pull the chair so that I can sit on it.
