Andi's POV
Looking shocked for quite some time, I tried blinking my eyes a few times. I never thought he remembered all this time the things I said when I was younger.. the young me who dreamt of making it big someday on Hollywood. Oy vey, was I so oblivious.

Spitting my drink into the air as I coughed violently feeling the sting on my nose "It's.. it's.. it's BRYAN SINGER!!!! Maaa?" I asked while pointing my finger to the said person. Widening my eyes, I looked back and forth to my mother and the name who I just screamed out of being surprised. All I ever got was the sound of them eating their dinner silently. "How can you act so casual?" I whispered as I narrowed my eyes to my mom as she sips a glass of orange juice. "Now now my sweet child. Don't narrow your eyes on me." Hearing a fake cough, I gave my attention to the person sitting in front of me. "I heard you were a fan Miss.." Bryan mumbled the last part. "Candice.. My name's Candice." I replied with a huge smile on my face.
"Ah, apologies for arriving late. So you two have finally met huh." said my mom's lover. "Oh how nice of you to join us." I said sarcastically. "Is that how you treat the person who made it possible to meet your idol?" he retorted. I blinked my eyes a few times making my confusion obvious. "Well dear Evan here and I are childhood buddies. Catching up with him, he mentioned your lovely mother and you. He told me you're a big fan and showed me some of your digital paintings of my X-Men movie." I looked down as he mentioned me being a "huge fan". "You're quite talented for your age, you could replace the person who designed our X-Men poster." I raised my face as I heard his compliment and looked at him to know if he was being serious or just pitying me. "T-than-thank you Sir Bryan." I replied weakly.

Bryan's POV
"Hey, Candice? You there?" I asked for the 4th time. "Oh.. uhmm yeah.. Just suddenly remembered our first encounter." Andi said chuckling a little. "Oh. Haha, how could you ever forget. You almost cried when you choked on your drink and spitting it in the air." I laughed a little too loudly, and for that I got glared at. "Yeah, continue laughing and you'll get punched you know." she growled. "My, you have changed." "Yeah well.. it's been 3 years since I last saw you old man." Really, I haven't seen this child for three years and I get called an old man? Shaking my head I glanced on my side to see her texting. "So, how're you?" I asked after a few silence. "Good, but not as good as your latest movie." "So you saw it huh?" "Yep-pppppp," she answered back with the "p" popping. "Good thing you didn't direct it." I smirked a little "Good to know you still keeping track of your idol." I retaliated. "Idol? Oh please, you've lost that title after not making anymore films worthy to be called a masterpiece." I faked a hurt look and she didn't buy it. "Oh really now, then I guess I won't include you on my team then." I side-glanced to see her stoned expression. "KIDDING." I smirked. "Hey! You can't make me excited and just take things back." "Yeah whatever, we're here." I said as I removed my seatbelt and started getting out of the vehicle.
Andi's POV
On our way to the restaurant that we usually dine in whenever uncle Bryan visits, I notice a couple of familiar faces on the way. Nodding my head to the greetings of the restaurant employees, I excused myself to go to the loo for a bit. Before I could reach the woman's toilet, I bumped into a guy wearing a breaton cap, black rayban shades and a black leather jacket. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there." I apologized. The man suddenly pausing, turns around and lowers his sunglass a bit, letting me have a short glimpse of those captivating eyes. I suddenly became aware he was observing my physical appearance and staring at me. We had eye contact for a mere second, somehow making everything around us blurry making us focus on each other. He shuts his eyes closed after a couple of seconds and puts back his rayban while forming a smirk.
