75 I dont bite. (1/2)

After another thirty minutes, Marcel opened his eyes to a half-empty living room. He was already feeling hungry, so he got up to prepare something to eat. His main issue was that he was a bit too thin, and he needed to put on some weight but also work out so that he did not just gain rolls of fat.

He got up and stretched before lazily walking to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a bunch of ingredients and placed them on the kitchen counter. He then started preparing his meal.

It did not take long before someone joined him in the kitchen. Lauren had seen him go to the kitchen, so when she heard the sounds of someone cooking, she went to check on what was going on.

Most of the people in the house were doing their own diets and after indulging the previous day together with the shoot that they will have to do after two days, she wasn't expecting Marcel to be cooking.

”Didn't you just have breakfast?” Lauren asked as she watched him marinate the meat he was planning on making.

”Yeah, I'm hungry again though,” Marcel said as he took a skillet and placed it on the stove.

”Oh, your metabolism must be crazy,” she said enviously.

”Not really, you want some? I'm making a salad as well,” Marcel joked as he pointed at the vegetables that he had set aside.

”Sure, you need some help? I'm no chef but I think I can manage a salad” Lauren answered but didn't make a move to get off the stool she was sitting on. Instead, she just rested her head on her hand as she watched him move around in the kitchen.

”Mmh,” Marcel answered absentmindedly. As he put his meat on the skillet so it would grill.

”Oh, I wanted to ask if you can take part in my ad,” Marcel said out of nowhere as he glanced in her direction before continuing to chopping up the things he needed for the salad.

”Eh? Me?” Lauren asked surprised. Not that she wasn't expecting someone to ask her, it was just that she wasn't expecting such a request from the guys since she did not look very feminine with her short hair and tattoos.

”Yes you,” Marcel said as he continued with what he was doing.

”Did your hunger get in your head? Why?” Lauren asked after a short pause.

”You feel comfortable to work with,” Marcel answered honestly.

”Is that the criterion?” Lauren asked, feeling puzzled.

Marcel stopped what he was doing and looked at her closely. He even leaned on the kitchen counter and leaned forward to look at her closely. As he expected, she did not pull back from him as normal people would when someone suddenly invaded their personal space.

”No, it's because you're pretty,” Marcel said seriously.

The filming crew: …

”Since you are so nice about it, I'll be generous and help you out,” Lauren said with a laugh.

”I'm being serious,” Marcel said as he pulled back and continued prepping his salad.

”As payment, you'll be in charge of my meals,” Lauren said as she hopped off the stool she was sitting on and left the kitchen. Marcel looked at her retreating back with raised eyebrows before continuing to prepare his meal with a smile on his face.

[Are you sure about using Lauren?] Avian asked Marcel who was busying himself.
