Emma : Yes?
Bruno : What's such a pretty lady doing all alone? Mind if I sit?
Emma : Go ahead...

Emma
He waited a few seconds before he sat down. He took a sip of his coffee and looked at me for a few seconds.

Emma : Hm?
Bruno : I'm just.......looking at the beauty in front of me.
Emma : -laugh- Oh you're gonna make me blush.
Bruno : What's your name Hermosa?
(Beautiful)
Emma : Emma
Bruno : A pleasure, Bruno Martino.

Emma
Jackpot!!! Wow I guess luck is on my side.

Emma : The pleasure is mutual.
Bruno : Can I ask why are you so alone?
Emma : But I'm not only I'm with you.
Bruno : -laugh- Let me ask again smartass. Why were you alone?
Emma : I like reading alone.
Bruno : I see. I'll let you read alone then.
Emma : Wait wait wait! That's not what I meant!
Bruno : I see you want me to stay.
Emma : If you want. If not that's fine I really don't care.
Bruno : You're really hard to read and I'm pretty good at reading people.
Emma : Good! I'm not easy.
Bruno : Good thing I don't like easy.
Emma : -smile-
Bruno : Can I invite you for some lunch? Somewhere a little more.....my taste.
Emma : And what's your taste?
Bruno : You'll see. What do you say?
Emma : How do I know I can trust you? I was taught not to talk to strangers.
Bruno : You've been talking with me for awhile now. I could say we're already friends.
Emma : Nah we're still two strangers.
Bruno : Well let me change that. Have lunch with me and if after that you don't want to see me I'll respect that. Do we have a deal?
Emma : Deal!

Adela
Zane and I have been inseparable these past few days. We've spent every second we had available together. It's been great.

Zane : Any plans today?
Adela : I have some portrait requests to do so I'll be doing those all day.
Zane : Alright then, I'll see you later. -kiss- Take care baby.
Adela : You too!
Olivia : Zane! Are you leaving?
Zane : Yes
Olivia : Can I go with you? I need to talk to you.
Zane : Later-
Olivia : It's about your parents!
Zane : ......Okay come on.
Adela : .....
Dimitri : Jealousy looks terrible on you.
Adela : Shut up! I'm not jealous.
Dimitri : Sure you're not.
Adela : I trust him. He wouldn't cheat on me.

Emma
My plan is simple. Distract Bruno from Adela. OR to figure out what his plans are with her.

Bruno brought me to a very fancy steak restaurant. He requested for us to eat at the rooftop where we have a nice view of the city.

Bruno : What do you think?
Emma : I like it!
Bruno : It's the best steak restaurant in Tijuana.
Emma : Oh wow!
Bruno : And it's also mine.
Emma : I wasn't expecting that.
Bruno : Do I not scream businessman?
Emma : Nope you scream lawyer.
Bruno : Lawyer? Seriously?
Emma : -laugh- Serious!
Bruno : If we're playing that game then you scream model.
Emma : Awww cute! But no I'm hairstylist.
Bruno : ........You're joking right?
Emma : Rude!!
Bruno : I didn't mean it like that I'm just very surprised.
Emma : -laugh- Sorry to disappoint.
Bruno : I'm not disappointed. In fact I'm interested.
Emma : In me?
Bruno : In getting to know you. You're intriguing.

Emma
Bruno doesn't seem like what Adela described him as. He's a good actor.
We'll see how he is later on...
