- the coast

@clara lee [ starter ]

There were cameras being pointed at him- he could see them, no matter how much the owner tried to make it look like they were just taking a selfie. For a man who had been in front of cameras for a good chunk of his life, he was uncharacteristically nervous. Maybe it was the whole thing with Clara that was really making him anxious. He only had a pair of sunglasses on, forgoing caution for the sake of fashion, and now people were starting to recognize him. He had invited Clara out to hang out around the coast, maybe go swimming, or check out some other attractions lined up around the area- it was supposed to be on the down low. He ran a hand through his hair, threading his fingers through the silky strands evenly.

He wet his lips and anxiously checked his phone, making sure he hadn't missed any text or call from Clara. But honestly, it was about time he socialized with someone around his age and not university age. Seriously, he had been so absorbed in his job as a professor that the most action he had been getting were stares of adoration from his students. No, this outing would be healthy for him. He sat down on a bench and opened up his phone, pulling up the messenger. "I'm on a bench," he texted, making sure that she knew where he was. He looked around- the fans seemed to be losing interest and leaving. Hopefully it would stay that way.
