One Wild Night

"What are you doing?" Matt asked from the doorway of the kitchen when he saw Bryan busy flipping fried eggs on a pan.

How could he be asking him what he was doing when it was obvious that he was cooking? "I'm playing PS, grab the other pad," Bryan said dryly without turning around to look at Matt.

Matt chuckled at the dry humor as he walked into the kitchen and tried to pick a diced sausage from the plate, but Bryan slapped his hands before he could get it, "That's for my fiancee," Bryan said, making Matt's jaw drop open, but Bryan didn't bother to look at him as he walked over to the coffee maker to get a cup of coffee for Sonia.

"Fiancee? Who?" Matt asked as he walked over to the door to see if Sonia was standing anywhere around the kitchen watching them, before returning to meet Bryan again, "What fiancee?"

"I believe you met her yesterday. Her name is Sonia Smith, and she is sleeping on my bed," Bryan said distractedly as he tried to focus on the task at hand.

"Sonia? The same Sonia you kept calling a green-eyed witch last night? What is going on between you two? Don't worry, she can't hear us, so you can tell me the truth," Matt asked Bryan in a very low tone as he followed him around the kitchen while Bryan arranged the breakfast on a tray.

"Tell you what?" Bryan asked innocently as he picked up the tray and started heading for the bedroom with Matt on his tail.

After his deal with Sonia earlier, Sonia had gone as far as suggesting that they both put it down on paper so that each of them could have a copy of it for future purposes. They had both also agreed not to tell Matt, Lucy, or anyone else about their deal, as it all had to be as real as possible since that was what Sonia wanted.

"Come on! Don't do that. I'm your best friend, and I deserve to know what is going on. I know something is up. So tell me, did something happen between you both? Don't tell me you screwed her already, you dog!" Matt exclaimed suspiciously.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Get out of my way, I need to return to my fiancee," Bryan said as he walked past Matt into the bedroom where Sonia was already awake and was busy on her laptop.

"Breakfast is ready, baby," Bryan announced as he walked up to the bed and dropped the tray by the bedside, while Sonia gave him an approving smile.

"You seem pretty enthusiastic about this whole thing," Sonia observed as she pulled the tray to herself while Bryan stood beside the bed, watching her as he waited for her to take her first bite.

"I always like to keep to my end of any bargain. You asked me to treat you as I would my fiancee, and that is exactly what I'm doing," Bryan said making Sonia smile as she took a forkful of egg into her mouth.

She closed her eyes as she chewed, "Hm, this tastes really nice," Sonia said in a tone that suggested that she was really enjoying the meal.

Bryan raised his chin proudly, "I'm Bryan Hank, there is nothing I cannot do," Bryan said confidently.

"That's nice. I look forward to seeing everything you can do," Sonia said with a playful smile.

"Sure you will, but make sure you don't fall in love with me," Bryan warned as he turned around to leave the room.

"Who says you won't be the one to fall in love with me? It is usually the person that asks the other not to fall in love, that falls headfirst in love," Sonia said in a challenging tone making Bryan scoff as he turned around to look at her.

"We will see about that. By the way, you should hurry up with your breakfast and freshen up so we can go out. We can't spend the entire day indoors like we did yesterday," Bryan said making Sonia raise a brow.

"I'm not going anywhere with you today. I have to get busy with my writing. Let's go out some other time," Sonia suggested.

"I'm sorry baby, unfortunately, you will have to keep your work aside and give me your undivided attention. That is what my fiancee would do," Bryan said, making Sonia roll her eyes.

"Your fiancee shouldn't focus on her job and career because she is engaged to you? I will let you know when I have time to spare," Sonia said as sipped from her coffee before returning her attention to her laptop.

Bryan watched as she typed on her laptop before telling her, "You have an hour to get ready, darling. Don't keep me waiting."

'You want a fiance, you will get one,' Bryan thought to himself as he turned around and walked out of the bedroom with a smirk on his face.

The sides of Sonia's lips curved in a satisfied smile as she watched him leave. 'That is more like' she thought to herself as she picked up her jotter to write down what had just happened.

Once Bryan opened the bedroom door, he saw Matt standing very close to the door like he had been eavesdropping on their conversation, "What were you both talking about?" Matt asked in a whisper.

"Were you eavesdropping on my conversation with my fiancee?" Bryan asked, glaring at Matt.

"Cut the crap and tell me what is going on, please. I feel I might die of curiosity if I don't know what is happening," Matt pleaded as he followed Bryan into the kitchen to clean up the place.

"What happened over the night? Come on, talk to me! Please!" Matt pleaded impatiently.

"Nothing. You can leave now, I don't think you need to do anything anymore," Bryan said, making Matt narrow his eyes.

"She must truly be a witch! She must have bewitched you while you were sleeping," Matt speculated after giving it some thought.

Bryan chuckled, "Stop saying nonsense. Let's just say I thought about all you said yesterday, and I decided to handle things the Bryan Hank way."

"Are you sure that is it? Hope you didn't poison her meal?" Matt asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

"Since when did poisoning people become the Bryan Hank way?" Bryan hissed at Matt before walking to the sink to wash the dishes he had used to prepare Sonia's breakfast.

"It's not fair. I came all the way here to help you, but you are hiding the situation of things from me," Matt said grudgingly as he helped Bryan rinse and dry the dishes.

"Thank you for your help. I think I can handle things on my own now. And it is all thanks to the pep talk you gave me yesterday," Bryan said, turning to give Matt a toothy smile.

"You're sure that is all this is? You're not having any strange or funny feeling in your head? Like you love her all of a sudden?" Matt asked in a low voice, wanting to be sure Sonia hadn't used a love potion on his friend.

"What sort of a question is that?" Bryan asked in amusement.

"I need to be sure she didn't use any spell or love potion on you, so just answer my questions, okay? If you happen to see I and Sonia drowning in your pool, who would you jump in to save first?" Matt asked, cocking his head to one side as he waited for Bryan to answer.

Bryan sighed, trying not to roll his eyes at Matt's dramatic question, "You can't drown. You are a good swimmer."

"Anything can happen. Say I get a cardiac arrest while swimming and I start drowning, and Sonia is drowning too?" Matt asked with a seriousness that made Bryan roll his eyes now.

"Matt, I'm not under the influence of anything. I'm just trying to take charge of the situation, and right now you're not helping! Just trust me, and allow me to handle things my own way, okay?" Bryan said holding Matt's gaze. Matt looked at him suspiciously for a while before nodding his head.

"Okay. If you say so. But I'm not leaving yet. I just got here after all," Matt said, and Bryan nodded.

"That is fine as long as you treat her as you would treat my fiancee," Bryan said, giving Matt a pointed look.

"So I shouldn't try to seduce her?" Matt asked with a slightly raised brow.

Bryan sighed, "What part of 'treat her as you would treat my fiancee' did you miss?"

"Okay. Okay. Fine! You asked for it," Matt said in a warning tone before walking out of the kitchen. Once he was outside the kitchen door, he turned around to peer inside the kitchen so he could spy on Bryan, but Bryan was still looking at the door with a slightly raised brow so Matt flashed him a smile before walking away.

Once he was sure Matt had left, Bryan dried his hands and sat on one of the seats in the kitchen. Waking up that morning, he had made up his mind to consider Sonia as an actress and treat her like there was a camera watching them all the time. He had played the role of a doting fiance in several movies before, so doing that now was going to be easy-peasy.

His one-week break was going to end by Sunday, and from Monday he would be fully back to work; shooting movies and doing commercial shoots. He would be so busy that he would hardly have any time to spare, so he was just going to spend the weekend with her and give her a swell time.

He took out his phone to look for fun places where he could take her to. Maybe they could see a movie, go to an amusement park, and then have dinner in a fancy restaurant before returning home. That seemed like a good plan, Bryan thought with an impressed smile.
