It was the most awkward thing that ever happened to her. She cringed inside the entire way to La Lune. She didn't expect to see John right the very moment she was going to call the cab. The shooting must've wrapped up early that day. She was sweating a little bit, she had to sit face to face with Lucas for at least two hours and had to persuade him to let her leave the place without him driving her back home. She should've thought that through before she agreed on this ... dinner invitation.
She walked a few steps away from the bistro to the streets, and there he was under the street light, leaning on his motorbike, arms folded in front of him. She walked over to him. He tried to assess her expression, but he didn't know her well enough to do that.
"Help me Andrea ... I'm in so much trouble," she pleaded. She told her everything that went on while she was away, and now she didn't know what to do."Yeah ... I saw how you looked at him that day at the shooting scene ... I thought there was something go
He buried himself in his work, trying hard not to think about her. She didn't come to the set. He kept looking at his phone, no message from her.She busied herself with taking care of Kevin, she didn't contact him because she didn't know what to say to hi
He was still there in the morning, fast asleep on her couch. She watched him as the sunlight touched his face, still couldn't believe that he didn't flee as soon as she told her story. Something inside her thought it would've been easier for her if he just stood up and left because the load was too heavy to carry.
Sandy was hyperventilating by Lucas's car, her legs had given in to the panic. She slumped on the pavement and wept."Get in the car," Lucas came rushing.
John had asked her to tell him his name, he wanted to know what he looked like, where he lived. But she wouldn't tell him, she didn't want her problem to bother his work. It wasn't fair for him. Little did she know, it was weighing on his mind either way.
She spent a few hours talking with John's co-workers. All that time, John was always interrupted by fans who wanted to take pictures with him. He was used to it, and he was nice about it. She scanned the room once in a while to check on Lucas. He was drinking and sulked at the bar. Sometimes she caught him looking at her while in John's arms. She wasn't intentionally parading John in front of him, but it was hurting him nonetheless.
She was ready in the morning. The plan was to take a stroll on John's motorbike for a cross country, or cross-island, enjoy the scenery and try new things along the way. She saw him getting ready from the kitchen window. She missed him already, maybe because of how he left things the night before. Looking at him with his pillow face and messy hair was a delight. He smiled at her and waved, her heart sank, the effect he had on her was bewitching.
