It was now a matter of weeks since Malcolm had taken Summer to the Beckham dinner party, to which Summer had talked to him the next day thanking him for taking her. Since that last call Malcolm wondered if it was a result from his moody demeanor at the end of the night or the realization that she was hold up with another man. He wanted it to be the first option, but when he thought about it neither really put him in a good light.
He refused to call her, but he did want to see her. To the extent he’d end up in places where he knew she frequented. Till he just couldn’t take it anymore and he called to his disappointment he got voicemail, and although he didn’t want to leave a message he did. In the message he played coy telling her he had been thinking about her and was hoping they could get together again soon and then Malcolm hung up.
At the same time he was deep into the shooting of his next projects so his mind was occupied with many other things, but come the quiet moments he felt for some companionship yet still wanting to be reassured he needed to know whom this other guy was and who he was to her. Malcolm knew he shouldn’t be so caught up with the likes of a woman like her, someone he had only been out with once, but the attraction was strong, something he couldn’t just shake. Working helped keep his mind off of her as he focused on the project with intensity.
Then it happened, just an ordinary day he was between shooting and wandered off set to make a call when he saw her having lunch with a man. He had no idea what the man from Sony looked like so he watched how they interacted. Arms around her waist, touching her shoulder, holding her hand, to Malcolm these all meant that they were intimate at least mildly familiar with each other.
Malcolm then gave her a call to which she didn’t answer, and why would she Malcolm thought. She was out with another man, seeing himself spiral out of control he continued watching the restaurant not knowing what it would lead to. He then found himself walking to the restaurant coming up with a reason on the fly to just be there after he had called her to be hung up on. He walked in past the Host and right up onto their table.
Summer recognized him before he could say anything and introduced Malcolm and Enzo, the man from Sony. Without disrupting the scene much more than that the two men shook hands and that was that. He seemed like a nice enough of a guy, Malcolm’s studio was not yet the likes of Sony so no need in making a scene, but it did reframe the issue he had with her feeling she just took advantage of a situation he gave her, being they weren’t exclusive or even in a relationship.
Malcolm then made his way back after an awkward 5 minutes of small talk to cover his impulse of curiosity. Back on set Malcolm was back in his focused role closing out the day on a solid note. Afterward he headed to the studio to drown himself in more work so as to not have to think about the actions he had set in motion by his intense desire for this woman.
He then got a call, it was Summer. She wanted to explain how awkward it was seeing him and that she needed to get some things clear. The situation she had been in was that she was seeing Enzo for sometime, but it wasn’t going where she’d like. Upon going out with Malcolm she saw how she wanted to be treated, adored, and respected hoping they could explore that some more with at least another date.
Malcolm asked about the status with Enzo, to which she replied he ended it that day having taken up back with his ex. Malcolm gave it some thought. He liked that she was now talking about it, but not that he’d be the rebound guy, So he told her how he felt about her and he’d love to start up with her that very moment, but he now needed time, she needed time, how long who knew now that the air was cleared they could move on, but just not right away.
Summer could understand she wouldn’t want to be the rebound either. So they made a pack to give it 30 days of searching and bettering themselves till the day they’d meet and take up like it was their first meeting and seeing if their chemistry was real. Upon getting off the phone with Summer Malcolm marked his calendar to count down the days till his second first date with Summer.
