“How long do you expect to be away with the crew?”
One of his eyebrows raised when he heard her request.
“I’m guessing around two or three months, maybe?”
Clarissa considered this a conservative estimate.
If progress was slow, the shooting could very well stretch up to half a year.
Naturally, she would neglect to mention that, as she reckoned that that may not sit well with Matthew.
To him though, these two or three months were sufficiently long enough.
He would have much preferred for this woman to be constantly by his side. Better still, every single day.
Of course, Clarissa had to reiterate certain facts.
“I won’t always have to be on set as I’m just a screenwriter… haha.”
“If you don’t have to always be on set, then there shouldn’t be any reason for you to go along. You could always pop in to have a look once in a while.”
Clarissa was stumped at his response since his reasoning was hard to argue against.
That did not stop her from trying, though. “Every piece of work is like my own babies, so I definitely want for them to become the best that they can be. I actually would love to be on set when I was working for a show, but it didn’t make sense then as they were not receptive to my input. It’s different this time with Director Yates at the helm. Not only would I be able to do so, but I could also maybe learn a few things here and there. Why wouldn’t I want to make the best of this opportunity?”
She then wrapped her hands coquettishly around his arms. “As my boyfriend, I’m sure you’d want to support my career. Surely you don’t want a woman who only lazes around at home all the time, waiting for you to warm her bed?”
It was clear from her expression that she was not going to take no for an answer.
Matthew curled his lips when he leaned back. His eyes gleamed as he regarded her ambiguously.
“First things first, Clare. Your babies are mine as well, so I’ve no doubt they would be the very best that they could be.”
That was certainly not what she had in mind.
His words left her red to the ears.
“Why are you even talking about babies?”
Matthew’s voice raised his voice slightly. “Huh? I’m pretty sure you’re the one who broached the subject?”
Clarissa’s brows furrowed as she offered up a retort, “I wasn’t even talking about that sort of babies.”
“Aren’t all babies babies in themselves?”
“Y-you… y-you… ugh!”
