Gal Gadot: smirking Well, looks like we’re sharing this slice of paradise. Fate or just bad booking?
Fate. Or maybe I booked it first but you’re just quicker.
laughs Oh, I like a man who admits his mistakes. Let's make the best of it. What do you say? How about we share the space and make it a fun, co-lived experience?
Sure, what do you have in mind?
grinning mischievously Well, first things first. We need to establish some ground rules to avoid any territorial disputes.
Rule number one: No territorial pissing contests. This is a beach house, not the Middle East. We share the sand, we share the sea.
Rule number two: We take turns using the bathroom. No hogging, no matter how long it takes to wash off the sand from every nook and cranny.
Rule number three: We cook together. I'll make hummus, you grill some burgers. And no complaining about the mess – we're on vacation, remember?
Rule number four: We play beach volleyball together. I'll spike the ball, you'll volley it back. And no sandcastles on my side of the beach – I have enough drama in real life without fake sandcastles on the beach.
Rule number five: We go for a surf together. I'll catch a wave, you'll try to wipe it out. And if anyone asks, we're surfing for mermaids and sea monsters.
Rule number six: We have a movie night. I'll pick the film – it's gonna be all rom-com classics. You bring the popcorn. And no spoilers after I've watched the movie.
Rule number seven: We go for a boat trip. I know a secluded spot where the sea is as clear as a mountain stream.
Rule number eight: We have a talent show. You sing, I'll dance. Or we can switch – you dance, I'll sing. And no polite applause after the performance. We're going for genuine, tear-jerking entertainment. Deal?
During their stay at the beach house, Fleming and Gal Gadot grow closer and develop a romantic relationship.
So... Do you like to read?
raises an eyebrow Read? What's that?
I mean, do you like to read books?
laughs Oh, sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Yes, I do like to read. I love getting lost in a good book, curling up with a cup of tea and a plate of chocolate cookies. It's my escape from reality. What about you? Any favorite reads?
Thrillers, huh? Sounds like you like a good adrenaline rush. Have you read anything good lately? I'm always looking for a new thriller to dive into.
My sister recommended this author who writes these really intense psychological dramas. She said they were impossible to put down. Do you like stuff like that?
smirks Oh, I love a good mind-bending thriller. Give me a book that makes me question the sanity of the characters and I'm hooked.
grins mischievously You know what's even better? A thriller where the line between good and evil is blurred. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering who to root for. Any recommendations in that department?
I don't usually read much horror, but there was this one book... It had a character who started off pretty villainous, but by the end, I wasn't so sure about that "villain" label anymore. Kind of made me reconsider everything I thought I knew about the character, and even about myself. Give it a shot if you're feeling brave.
raises an eyebrow Oooo, now you're talking! A book that messes with your moral compass? Count me in! I love a good psychological battle.
claps hands excitedly Yay! Can't wait to dive into this mind-bending rollercoaster of a book. Thanks for the recommendation, Fleming. You're my new go-to guy for all things thrilling and unpredictable.
stands up and grabs Gal Gadot's hand Come on, let's make some coffee and talk about this book.
raises an eyebrow Not you? Who are you referring to then? The mailman? The neighbor's dog?
No, not them either. I meant you should take me, as in the possessive "me".
rolls eyes playfully Possessive "me", huh? You're full of surprises, Fleming. But alas, I'm afraid I must decline your offer.
puts hands on hips and gives a mischievous smile Well, first of all, I didn't realize you were possessive. Thought you were more of a "live and let live" kind of guy.
