Are You For Reel? (A Short Story)

Win

We finished filming at 11PM and the director said we don't have to shoot tomorrow, which means we can rest fully tonight. 8 hours of sleep! I can't wait!

Bright walked towards me and asked if I have plans. I said I don't but I'm willing to go anywhere since we don't have work tomorrow. He invited me to a bar beside his place to drink. He said the drinks there were premium quality and the food are top notch. And so we went.

We booked a ride and dropped our stuff in his place and went to the bar. It was literally just beside the building he lives in. Like there's a door between his building and the bar so you don't have to go outside, and I was so envious. I wish there was a bar beside my apartment.

He ordered his recommendations and when it came, everything was so delicious. The drinks, the food, and here's the awesome part. They were playing Scrubb. Hahaha! I know Tine is just a role I play, but damn. Scrubb songs are the bomb. I think that's one thing Tine and I have in common.

Bright and I were talking about hobbies, likes, and dislikes. It felt like a slam book and I'm hoping he wouldn't ask me who my crush is. Hahaha! But it's good that we're bonding. I love that I'm getting to know him better and I hope it stays this way.

The conversation went on and on and I felt really comfortable talking to him. He made the environment open and I got to tell him stories I've never even told anyone before. He's a great talker, and a great listener. I hope I made him feel the same way.

I yawned and I looked at the time and it was 3AM. That's the cue. I need to go home. I told him that we should wrap it up and we should do it again as I really had fun. He smiled and we went to his place to get my things.

While we were in the elevator, I asked him, "How much was the bill?"

"Hey, I invited you. That's on me."

"Thanks, Bright. Next will be on me."

I smiled and yawned as I was so sleepy.

When we opened his room, his window was open and the floor was wet. It was raining. 

We didn't notice from the bar because of all the stories we shared. Thankfully, it was just starting to rain and none of our stuff got wet. Just a part of the floor.

Bright immediately took the mop and cleaned it.

"You know what, you might as well stay here. I don't think this rain will stop any time soon. And it's 3AM. It wouldn't be safe for you to go home alone now."

"I guess. Is it ok with you?"

"Of course. My bed's good for two people."

"Hahahaha! Ok, I'll just tell my mom."

I rang my mom but she didn't answer. She might be sleeping, so I just texted her.

Bright was all done cleaning and he let me borrow his shirt and shorts so I can sleep comfortably.

We lay down and I closed my eyes, and I immediately fell asleep, just like a computer when you hit shutdown.

After a few hours, I dreamed about something, and I suddenly shouted.

"BRIGHT VACHIRAWIT!"

I opened my eyes and find him looking at me and said,

"Did you just say my name?"
