Henry couldn't believe how adorable this woman was. Blushing over an accidental innuendo. He decided to see if he could make her blush a bit more.
"And what would you suggest I do to unwind?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Mia scowled at him, then smiled.
"I can think of a few things," she said.
It was Henry's turn it blush.
He cleared his throat. "Such as..."
Mia tapped her chin.
"Well, we are in Florida and it's hot. I'm thinking you could strip down and..."
Henry was on the edge of his seat but tried to play it cool.
Mia continued, "go to the beach? Learn to surf?"
He laughed, feeling like an idiot.
Seriously, Cavill. What did you think she was going to say?
Mia was definitely not what he expected.
"I'll take that into advisement."
"You do that," Mia said. "So, what do you do for a living Henry?"
Henry was taken aback.
She really has no idea who I am?
"I work in the film industry."
Suddenly, Mia's face paled, but she quickly recovered.
After taking a sip of her latte, she asked "Do you write? Direct?"
"I'm an actor," he proceeded cautiously.
Mia nodded. "I can see that. Have you been in anything I know?"
Just then, the waitress came over with the check and a request. Henry knew what was coming.
"Do you think I could get a selfie with you?"
"Absolutely," Henry said.
As they tried to situate themselves, Mia spoke up.
"I can take it for you if you'd like."
"Would you? Thanks!"
The girl gave Mia her phone.
"Henry, why don't you stand up so I can get a good shot."
He did and the girl wrapped and arm around his waist.
"Ready?" Mia asked. "On three. One, two, three."
She snapped the picture and handed the phone back to the waitress.
The waitress all but squealed.
"Thank you so much," she said to Henry. "My friends aren't going to believe I met Superman!"
She looked at the picture and took off inside.
Henry looked a bit sheepish.
"So I guess the cat's out of the bag," he said.
Mia looked confused. "Superman?"
Henry rubbed the back of his neck.
"Yeah, Man of Steel."
Realization seemed to dawn on her.
"You were in a movie I watched last night," she said nonchalantly.
"Which one?" he asked.
Mia laughed. "Mission Impossible - Fallout."
"What did you think?"
"I wanted to throttle August Walker. Such a dick."
"Guess I did my job," he said. "Anything else?"
Mia looked at his face. "You look better without the mustache."
