Behind The Camera

Darth's POV

September 10
7:00 a.m.
Spiella Hotel

"Hello," I greeted as soon as I entered the room.

It was quiet and everyone was half asleep. I came earlier than what they expected. I wanted to help the staff for the set up. Filming with new people feels great.

"Goodmorning, Mr. Grey! I would like to ask if you want coffee? Its really early, shooting is at 10," one of the staff offered.

"Im good, keep the coffee for the staff. Anyways, can I help you with something? Food? Cleaning?" I asked politely, making sure they werent uncomfortable around me.

"Everything is in charge, sir. You can take a stroll outside while we fix everything."

"Since what time were the staff here?"

"5, sir."

"5?!" I asked in disbelief with eyes, widened.

"I'm sure most of you havent eaten breakfast, im going to buy some. Ill be back, okay?"

"No need si—"

I left before he even finished what we was going to say. I hate seeing others sacrifice their time on something and leaving their personal needs behind. I have a soft heart for people since I have experienced so much hardships in life too.

People tend to like me more because of this but I think with fame our without, with cameras or without. We should help each other out.

People usually say these stuff but never really did help others. They tend to think their image as a person is more important than actually doing what is right.

I hate those types of people.

"Darth, I can buy the food. Just wait here in the car," my manager said.

"I want to come," I said as I put on my sunglasses.

"Okay," my manager answered.

I opened the door and stepped out. The cold air greeted me.

Peoples' whispers were heard and some even tried to go to me with their phones in camera mode.

I didnt hesitate to take a picture with them since they were just few. It wasnt a large crowd since it was 7 a.m.

I entered the shop and my body gaurds enclosed the area so that more people wouldnt enter.

There were still people inside but my manager blocked them from taking pictures of me.

"What is the bestselling meal here, Ma'am?" I asked with a smile.

I could see the cashiers smile while she was looking at the menu but im used to it.

"This meal, Sir Darth," she said as she pointed at the meal in the menu that was facing at my direction.

"Ill get 20 of this. Wait," I looked at my manager and asked, "There are 20 staff there, right?"

"Yes," he replied.

"Yes, I'll get 20 of that."

"That will be $300, sir."

I pulled out a shining black card and said, "I dont have cash, heres my card."

She took my card and she carefully slid it.

"Thank you, sir. Here's your card and receipt. Ill take you to our party room while waiting for your order so no one can go near you. Ill go ahead and lead you there," she kindly explained as she pointed at an empty lighted room.

"Inside that room?" I asked in confusion.

"Any problems with it sir?"

"I can just wait here, dont worry."

"Oh, okay, sir," she answered silently.

I was scrolling through my phone when I heard the door of the store open. I looked back but I faced back to my phone after.

"Kimberly."

I whispered to myself and went back to my phone.

"D-Darth.. Grey?" Kimberly asked behind me.

"Yes?" I turned around and answered, still looking at my phone.

I know her attitude in real life. I have heard it from lots of people while were doing our meetings. Its really far from what people normally see in the television. I dont like that from her, so I usually just ignore her. Or if I cant, Ill try to avoid getting close to her or give her the attention shes craving.

She's a fame whore.

"Who made Darth cold? Who are you texting? A girl? Ooooh I have never heard of that girl. I thought were friends? Tell me about her."

People opened their cameras and took pictures of us. My manager couldnt block most of them.

"Back off, will you?" I silently said and turned my back on her.

"Come on, people are looking at us. Will you still act that way? We'll look like enemies."

"I dont care what people will think of me. This is me."

"Pfft, your fame will slowly go down soon if you keep on acting like that. Learn how to socialize. Grow up."

"Grow up?" I turned off my phone and looked at her.

"Grow up. Be mature. Dont ignore me. Did I do something wrong? No. So learn to socialize with people. I thought you were good." Kimberly said as she stared into my soul.

"Lets not fight here. Your image will be broken since you started the conversation." I faced my back on her once again and saw my order coming.

"Here, sir"

I took my order, wore my sunglasses and left Kimberly there.

Not gonna lie it wasnt that sunny but I wanted to wear it to hide my face from the public.

Kimberly's POV

"What the hell. He just left me here. He didnt drag me to talk or something? Ugh. I guess he's two faced. What a shame."

"Ma'am here's you're regular order." A lady came to me.

"Jessie! Thank you! You remember my regular order wa~ Ill give you an autograph soon if I have free time. Im busy right now so ill get going now, heres my payment." I said and handed my payment with a smile.

Jessie accepted it, smiled and bid goodbye.

I walked, entered my car and drove off.

I ate as my driver drove to Spiella Hotel.

When we got there, I saw no one waiting for me.

"Ugh, I guess I was expecting so much. I was expecting Darth standing there with a death glare.

Hes so hot, geez."

I got out of my car and walked inside the hotel.

"KIMBERLY!"
