003-Scouted
While Lea checked the grocery list that his boss gave her, a young lady approached her.
Mia
I'm Mia from K Entertainment.
Mia
Would you like to audition for our company?
Mia
Your height and body figure suits our style.
Mia
You also have a nice small face.
The barrage of statement made Lea a little irritable.
She can feel her annoyance rising as Mia went on about her company's success.
Lea
I'm sorry Miss Mia, but I'm not really interested.
Mia
C-can you atleast think about it?
Mia
You can call me if you changed your mind. Please call me.
Lea shoved the business card on her pant's back pocket and continued on her grocery.
While she grabbed the things on her lists, she didn't notice that she's the only one left inside the grocery store.
Zeke
Can I help you with that?
Lea jumped in surprise when Zeke sneeked up on her.
Lea
What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to have your rest day?
Zeke
This is also one way to spend my day off
Lea
By following me around?
Lea
Just so you know, Mr. Popular Idol, this is called the grocery store.
Lea
Common folks like us gather...
Lea stopped mid-sentence as she noticed that the store is void of other human except them.
Lea
Why is the store empty?
Zeke
Cause I wanted to do some shopping with you. Alone.
Lea
Just because you're rich, doesn't mean you have to splurge it on something as trivial as this.
Zeke
So your saying I can ask you out on a date and you will agree to it unconditionally?
Lea
You really are something.
Lea
If you're gonna stick around, you might as well help me then.
Zeke
Yes! Feels like we're a newly wed couple, going for our first grocery.
Zeke
By the way, I'll be gone for a week or two starting next next week.
Zeke
Hey! Atleast pretend that you'll be sad.
Zeke
It doesn't sound convincing.
Lea
How should I say it then?
Zeke
Hmmm. Put more emotion into it. Like you're really sad.
Lea
Should I just ask you not to go?
Lea took a step closer to him while looking into his eyes.
Zeke blinked in confusion.
When she's only a few steps closer, Lea daringly reached for his face.
Lea
I'll be lonely without you.
From Zeke's perspective, Lea looked really sultry.
His heart raced like crazy when Lea brushed her thumb against his lip.
Zeke covered his face to hide his blushed face.
Zeke
You're making my mind crazy.
Zeke complained while he followed Lea.
Zeke
Take responsibility. You toyed with my feelings.
Lea
Yeah. Yeah. I'll give you a cookie later. Get me one of those organic eggs please?
Zeke
You say that but you'll just think of an excuse to leave. Just like what you did last night.
Zeke carefully placed the tray of eggs on their cart.
Lea smiled while adoring Zeke who's busy complaining while demanding her attention.
She don't know why but she doesn't feel irritated with Zeke's complaining.
Zeke
Lea! Promise me you won't go home tonight?
Lea
What made you think I'll go home with you?
Zeke
Because I won't be able to see you for two weeks.
Zeke
So I will be sad and miss you.
Lea
I don't see how that's my problem.
Lea wondered how this bad boy facade of his hides his immature demeanor.
Lea
Let's make a deal then.
Lea
I'll agree to go on a date with you, once a week, if you do well on your upcoming job without contacting me.
Zeke
That feels more like a punishment.
Lea
Its called the patience test.
Lea
You have to do your best without me for two weeks, then in return, we get to go on a date as a reward for your patience.
Lea
How's that even a punishment?
Zeke
Make it twice a week and you have a deal.
Zeke
Also its up to me when, where, and how we will spend it.
Lea
I won't agree to it if you plan something sexual.
Zeke
I'm not planning on it!
Zeke
If I do my best for two weeks without contacting you, we'll go on dates planned by me without anything sexual twice a week.
Zeke
But you'll also have to spend the night with me tonight.
Lea
You really don't give up do you?
Zeke
I'm irresistable that way.
Lea didn't answer and just moved on to the next aisle to pick the rest of her groceries.
Zeke happily pushed the cart for her.
Lea felt like she picked up an adorable and clingy 5 feet 11 kitten.
After paying, Zeke drove Lea back to the cafe and helped her bring the groceries inside using the back door entrance.
Ken
My, this is a nice surprise.
Zeke
Thank you for telling me where to find her Boss.
Zeke
I just called you like that cause you really look like a boss.
Lea
This conversation is getting nowhere.
Lea
Zeke, I'll be busy with work cause we'll open the cafe soon.
Lea waited for Zeke to leave but he was just standing there.
Lea
Okay. This is the part were you say goodbye and leave.
Zeke
Right. I'll fetch you later then.
Ken
Okay! We'll see you then Zeke. Be careful on driving.
After Zeke left, Ken flashed a knowing smile.
Lea
Boss, its not like that.
Ken
I didn't say anything.
Lea
Your smile says it all.
Ken
Hmmm. Did spring came early this year?
Lea
Don't know. With the climate change and all, its a possibility.
Ken
Haha. Whatever you say.
After closing the cafe, Lea saw Zeke waiting.
Lea
Why's your hair color different?
Zeke
Our stylist said we need it for our tour next week.
Lea
It actually looks good on you.
Lea studied the neighborhood and its unusally quiet.
Most of the time, the street will still be busy with people but now its completely deserted.
Lea
Why do I get the feeling that whenever you're around, there are less people in the area?
Zeke
Haha. Must be your imagination.
Lea
Well... Whatever. I need to stop by my apartment to get a few textbooks. My term paper will be due tomorrow, so I need to finish it first.
Zeke
Okay.. But you will stay with me tonight right?
Lea
Unless you changed your mind.
Zeke
No! If possible I want you to always stay with me... but of course, you don't want that.
Lea smiled and started walking.
Zeke followed her and boldly held her hand.
He interlaced their fingers and gave it a little squeeze.
Lea didn't mind it, and actually felt warm and comfortable with their hands locked.
Zeke
This is the best day off I have ever had since I started working.
Lea
I'm sure you said those lines to your exes.
Zeke
Though I had a few exes, I never felt this way with any of them.
Zeke
You may choose not to believe me, but I never wanted someone so much until I met you.
Zeke smiled looking at the night sky while they walked.
His side profile is handsome as well, too handsome that Lea might go blind if she stared at him for too long.
Lea
If someone like you is forced to say cheesy lines like those, then you must really like me.
Zeke
Haha. You never pull you punches huh.
Zeke
Cheesy as it may sound, I meant every word.
Zeke
I could go cheesier if you like.
Lea
Haha. okay, make my ears bleed.
Zeke
Hmmmm. Nah. Nevermind. I don't want you thinking I'm making fun of my feelings for you.
Lea looked serious for a moment.
Lea
I don't think so. As I said earlier, I believe you.
Lea
Though I apologize if my comment about it being cheesy hurt you.
Zeke
I so want to kiss you right now.
Lea
Right. Keep dreamin' honey.
Lea took some essentials with her like her hygiene kit and clothes.
They arrived at Zeke's home and she immediately focused on her term paper while he took his bath.
After some time, Lea was able to finish her work, and asked if she can take a shower as well.
While she's currently doing so, Zeke changed Lea's supposed night clothes into his clothes.
Lea noticed that her clothes are gone after drying her hair.
She sighed and put on his clothes. His clothes are too big for her that the hem of his shirt reached her thighs mid-part.
Lea
You are so full of yourself Zeke.
Lea returned to the living room where he's patiently waiting, while watching some movie.
The sight of her wearing his shirt was too sexy for him that he couldn't hide his blush anymore.
Lea acted like it was nothing for her but deep inside she's becoming conscious.
He gestured that she sit on his lap, but Lea felt rebellious and just sat beside him.
Zeke carried Lea and sat her between his legs with her back leaning on his chest.
He laced his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
The warm breath he exhaled felt good on her skin.
Zeke
I can't believe I have to miss this for two weeks.
Lea
Its your job, do it properly.
Zeke
I know that, but I'm still wooing you, and I don't think leaving is a great start.
He lightly tightened his embrace. Lea subconsciously reached for his cheeks and caressed it.
Lea
What are you still worried about?
Lea
Normally, people don't do this kind of thing this early. We're actually moving too fast.
Zeke
What's wrong with that?
Lea
Some say it might extinguish the spark.
Lea
Others say its still the infatuation stage and feelings might change as time goes on.
Zeke
That's nonsensical talk.
Lea
Hey, don't dismiss it too early.
Lea
We might experience it sooner or later.
Zeke
I'm confident about my feelings for you.
Lea
You are indeed one crazy man.
Zeke nuzzled his nose against her neck while Lea intimately caressed his hair.
Lea was weakly rejecting him.
Zeke
If you don't say anything, I'll take it as an approval.
Inside Lea's mind, she wants to say something but her lips refused to say anything.
Zeke turned her around to properly face her.
He gently placed a light kiss on her lips as he rested his forehead against hers.
Lea felt like the kiss wasn't enough and wished he would kiss her more.
He tried to kiss her again, and this time with the intent to make it longer.
Lea felt impatient as he took his time, and lightly bit his lower lip.
Zeke looked at her, wanting for her confirmation, and with just one look, he realized that he took an awful lot of time and made her wait.
He kissed her, parting her lips with his tongue.
And in every kiss that he gave, Lea responded.
The passionate kiss was disturbed by an unwanted persistent call from Zeke's phone.
Lea
You should answer that.
Lea gave him a little peck and went to the kitchen to get some water.
Zeke begrudgingly answered the call which was a video conference call.
Jae
Hey! Took you long enough.
Jae
Aren't you with your girlfriend Harry?
Jim
Guess you had a fight again?
Theo
Hey! Stop fighting with your girlfriend! Women are precious.
Ren
Even our baby says so.
Zeke
None of your business.
Jim
You look like you just finished something...
Jae
Ah! You have a girl over?
Harry
Yeah, you never let anyone inside your house.
Theo
Probably just his mother.
They laughed at Theo's remark.
Ren
Right, his visitor is just his mother.
Theo
What? Moms are naggers like that.
Jae
And you wondered why you still haven't got any girlfriends.
Theo
Zeke! They're making fun of me.
Zeke
Why are you lot calling anyway?
Theo
Can we please have a barbecue tomorrow?
Ren
I'm fine with it as long as Zeke pays.
Jae
Where should we hold it?
Harry
I kind of want to see our Leader's new girl.
Zeke
Fine. We'll have barbecue after our tour.
Theo
Make sure to bring her then okay?
Zeke
Yeah, yeah. I'm hanging up.
Lea handed a bottled water to him.
Zeke
Instead of having you all to myself, I gotta share you with them that day.
She doesn't feel enthusiastic about it.
The thought of being around Theo scares her.

Is theo fl's brother or half brother but I'm also interest in boss and managers love looking forward (sometime after loving your only wife so much you can't just love any other girl you just can't accept them in your life but can only accept their same gender as a companion and friend to live and live the emptiness in your life so I guess there will be ship sailing huh )and about ml and fl I can understand their feeling for they are both lonely and want someone who will understand them without judging them for ml after living so much in entertainment circle a bit of honesty Is all he wants and fl straightforwardness and simplicity is what attract him toward her and his intensity toward her will both be pain and pleasure and if he can't handle their unique style both of them hurt each other so.....
now there attractions it's not love but with time it will be love I'm looking forward to seeing more this story ......
