THE CAFÉ CONVERSATION
"Are you surprised that I am not a 'miss'?"
Nobody knows how much Lev is willing to pay just to have his peace back. The thing is, he also knows to himself that the peace and quiet that he wanted have become something priceless the moment his new neighbor moved in.Loud music on speaker, shouting on the phone-name it. It seems like that his new neighbor knows everything except for silence. And what could be the worst thing that can come from next door? Sex! Loud moans and all the other sexual sounds!Bed creaking, loud begging, ragged voices and heavy breathing, moans and moans and moans!One thing's left for sure... this has to end!---------[From Room 412]TO WHOM IT MA
“France Nam? Of course, I know him! He’s the one who’s been cancelled because he molested a newbie actress!”“I really liked him then, such shame! There’s also a rumor that
“I’m really sorry, Lev. I love you but it’s our future that we’re talking about here. I’m still chasing my dreams and you don’t seem to care about your own stability. I love you. You know that. It’s just that we really can’t get married when we’re both like this…”
Okay, in all honesty, France doesn’t know what to expect. He’s been into this kind of meet-ups before but it’s always for business—technically this is somehow business-like too but not entirely. Plus, he’s been with people, like his manager, when this happens. His whole situation now still falls to the fact that this is the first time he will meet someone in broad daylight alone, because in all honesty part two, he has never gone out with anybody before.
Lev sighs and removes his glasses. He needs to smoke but dwells on it, now’s not a perfect time.All this information that he acquired and every one of them is frustrating him in the worst way possible.
“That’s why I’m telling you to learn to do your chores and while you’re at it, learn to organize your things you know where you put your things!”France coughs and all he could r
[From Room 411]Thank you.Thank you for taking care of me. If you have already decided about what you want in return, don't hesitate to tell me.Thank you for finding my glasses and charger, too.If it's money though, you'll have to contact my manager because my accounts are being handled by him as of the moment and I don't have much cash. About the groceries, please give me the receipt so I can pay for that.PS. I told you, I can kiss you if you're too shy to initiate it again.---------“Am I not beautiful enough?”
“Here are the files you asked for, Sir Lev.”Lev grins at Devika, his company’s ever reliable and capable acting president. “Come on, pres, I know you want to ask me about it.”For the past two days, he’s been asking for Devika’s help to get him the information that he needed and, of course, all of it has something to do with actor and model France Nam. Aside from the first conversation they had about the actor, Devika hasn’t really asked him about anything that he’s been up to.For a few days that he took care of France because of his flu, he i
THE CAFÉ CONVERSATION"Are you surprised that I am not a 'miss'?"
“We were hated by our own parents when we got married and you can imagine their wrath when you were born, son. We didn’t want to endanger you nor put you in a situation where you’ll have to be away from us because of their doings. Ironically, we lost you because of our own twisted ways of protecting you. But it didn’t mean that we were never there, we were. Just far enough so you wouldn’t notice.”“We know you that you might think that we were never your parents and we will never blame you for it. You can get mad at us for as long as you need—we’re ready to wait until you’re comfortable with us again. We just hope that now you’re here, we assume that you are willing to give us a chance.”
France was waiting to return back to their table but that man seemed to be taking his time with whatever he had to do suddenly. At least they were done eating their man course and only the dessert is left to be served.
Meeting Lev’s mother was something France didn’t expect but at least he heard everything she had to say. He almost expected all the harsh words from her. After all, he isn’t a woman who can give Lev children; he doesn’t have the cleanest records of his relationships; he isn’t perfect. Out of the things she said, one question lingers the most to him.
“Why?”
WARNING: EXTREME VIOLENCE AND ABUSE AHEAD. PLEASE, READ WITH CAUTION.- - - - - - - - - -Almost three months have passed and with that span of time, France has finished everything that he needed to do—from all the castings to modelling to advertising. He pushed through the shootings for the reality show he was in with Actor Art and showed everyone his best. His ambassadorship with the Pavel’s company still stands and he did every photoshoot and commercials they needed with him. He accomplished all his signed advertisement deals. 
“There’s another quote on the act of writing letters, have a look: Letter writing is a truly anachronistic genre, a sort of tardy inheritance of the eighteenth century; those who lived at that time believed in the pure truth of the written word. And we? Times have changed; words are lost with ever greater ease; you can see them float on the waters of history; sink, come up again, mixed in by the current with the water hyacinths.”
“I see that you’re feeling fine, being here and all this.”Out of all the people France expected to come to him off-cam, it really had to be Art. He expected the worst in him and even practiced how he would act civilized with him in front of the cameras but no—the actor really approached him now that the cameras are off of them and the actor wouldn’t be benefited.“Are you sure you want to have this conversation now? The public wouldn’t know your efforts trying to ‘comfort’ me.” He said, already bored with having to deal with this guy. “Your post said it all.”
It’s all over the place—and it’s not even the slightest good news they want.Art can’t stop fidgeting as he reads further to what is happening. This is exactly the opposite of what they wanted. People should start an uprising with that damn Actor France but no—even the trolls they had have been getting all reported by their malicious comments.Everyone is siding with that damn actor. He couldn’t even believe that non-fans are actually the ones protecting him more. What the fuck is happening and why are people suddenly becoming this open-minded?
