"Why are there so many paparazzi here" Damian asked after noticing the big crowd of people taking pictures of them.
"I'm used to it by now, I even mastered the skills to ignore them, I only focus on what's in front of me, that's what's important at the moment."
Damian ignored the meaning of what Han just said and entered the restaurant, where they were shown to their beautifully decorated table. Funny enough, now it did look like a date.
"Good evening Mr Han and Mr Damian, my name is Shawn I'll be your waiter for today, so tell me if you need anything, starting us of with some appetizers, please enjoy"
Damian couldn't remember the last time he ate fancy, he described himself as someone who didn't care much about enjoying life, he only wanted to work and protect his brother who was still in school and his best friend Jenny. They were his entire family.
Dinner was going well for a moment with them having light conversation and a few smiles, and the waiting was about to introduce the main dish when a familiar voice interrupted, leading to the staff bowing out of respect.
"Dinner for two doesn't seem like that much fun, how about dinner for three, the place is already packed, I could join you guys, that's if I'm not intruding" Lu said with a completely straight face.
He had been watching the two giggle and smile for about five minutes and he just couldn't take it anymore.He hated when Damian gave Han that smile, emotions that Damian couldn't give him.
"Actually you are intruding, what are you doing here anyway" Han asked out of curiosity, Lu never liked being in public.
"It's a restaurant so I came here for the same reason as anyone else, to have a good meal, so I'll be sitting now,"
Han just signaled the waiter to add an extra plate.The mood suddenly went gray, Damian felt as if he was just caught cheating.
"So brother, what brought you out of your work bubble, you are not the type of person just to show up randomly at a place, there must be a real"
But just as he was about to answer, it suddenly felt awkward.
"So this is who let you out of your bubble, the talented prestigious and beautiful Miss Harriet, ooh brother you tiger, your hunting skills are far to impressive. Forget dinner for three, how about dinner for four"
Now this was getting out of hand, Miss Harriet was one of the most beautiful woman in the industry and there had been rumors about her and Lu dating. Maybe there were some truth in rumors. And then there was Damian, in the middle of all this celebrity. Paparazzi by now were increasing and for the first time in like the one week they knew each other, Lu saw some emotions on Damian.
Lu just stared at Damian and he sensed how uncomfortable he was, this wasn't a life he was used to, to them it was normal, he felt a need to protect him and his instincts led him again.He stood up walked to Damian and dragged him by the hand, everything looked like a scene from movie.
"You can let go of my hand now," Damian said looking at Lu who just stared at him.
"Why are you uncomfortable that I'm holding your hand, or maybe you would have preferred it if it was with someone else" Lu replied staring straight into Damian eyes.
Lu was shook by himself too, his actions changed alot after meeting Damian. He used to not care about anything and suddenly this boy shows up and now he doesn't feel like himself. He couldn't even tell what he was feeling and why and this man standing in front of him, what made him so special to him? Was he special to him? Who was he to him? That's a question he even being his boss would dare demand to know.
"I don't know what you mean but thenks for helping me out there," Damian didn't realize it but for the first time, Lu saw Damian smile at him. He had archived alot in life from businesses to movies and series and awards but this right there felt like his biggest achievement yet. Was someone recording this, because that was a moment Lu wished could last forever.
Lu was so taken by the moment that he didn't have control of what he was saying anymore
"Why can't I be the only one who gets to see this side of you, next time you smile like that, can it just be between us"
After moments of awkward silence in the car, Damian trying to figure out what just happened and Lu trying to pretend that that moment never happened they arrived at Damians apartment.
"Thenks for the ride home, see you on Monday" he said getting of and heading to him house
'see you on Monday' why did those words feel so different now. What exactly had changed and how much of the line can they cross now.
