The Cute Meeting
Meet the Characters
Riya is a woman who was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN. She’s a first-generation immigrant. Her parents are from Pakistan. So she and her parents speak Urdu. she’s in her mid-20s, and she’s a B-list celebrity.
We don’t know much about Bang; mysterious. We do know that he has been doing bodyguarding for a long time. Yet his not that old, he’s only 28.
Riya and her assistant are in a room in a huge office building. Riya looks slumped over as she has been there all day. The same is her assistant but acting a bit more lively. The assistant looks down at her paper to read the next name.
:Assistant:
Next, Bang Kwan.
:Riya:
Another Korean man. How many are there gonna be?
As she says this, she pulls on her cheeks as she looks bored. But when Bang walks in, she suddenly stops and sits up straight.
:Bang:
Do I just stand here-?
:Riya:
YES, JUST RIGHT THERE!
Bang gets cut off by Riya screaming. Ryia’s assistant is looking at Riya with wide eyes. Slowly turning her head. Bnag just stands there as this is all happening.
:Assistant:
Anyways, We just need to ask you a couple of questions.
First, What experience have you had in Bodyguarding… world?
Bang looks up to get together with all he’s done. While he is, Riya is heart-eyed for Bang. Holding her head in her hand looking deep into his heart and soul. The assistant smacks the back of her hand on Riya’s arm to get her to stop.
:Bang:
I’ve done multiple Super Bowls, body guarded for Billie Eilish when she was on tour, and recently did a few shows at the Eras tour. I have done more but they are not that relevant.
:Assistant:
Wow… You sure are qualified. I’ll just ask one more question…
The assistant looks down at her notes and papers frantically. Her eyes are wide and looking to find a good question to ask. And while they are having this conversation, Riya is still looking at Bang with hearts in her eyes. The Assistant then looks at Riya again and slaps her hand on Riya’s arm again to get her to stop.
:Bang:
Does she always do this? I’m getting a bit uncomfortable with it.
:Riya:
OMG, I’m so sorry. Yea, I do have a habitat to do that. I’ll stop. Aga-
:Assistant:
Anyways, your last question is…
Are you available to be a full-time bodyguard? Like, be by her side 24/7? Of course, you would have breaks and stuff. But it's like a personal bodyguard situation. Do you get what I’m say’in?
Bang was a bit surprised but didn’t show it that much. He didn’t know what to say. Meanwhile, Riya slowly turned her head to look at her assistant with wide-open eyes and mouth.
:Bang:
Ummm. I think I can do that. I’ll have to check with my roommate. Will I have a place to sleep at her place or will I have to go home every day?
:Assistant:
If you want you can stay in a guest room at her home. But you still live where you are right now if that’s better for you.
:Bang:
Ummm… I’ll take you up on that offer. I have to get to something in like 20 minutes. So I’ll you at your place at like 10 tomorrow.
:Riya:
Umm. Ok, thanks bye…
OMG WHY DID YOU DO THAT? YOU KNOW I WILL LOVE THAT AND HATE THAT WITH HIM BEING A PERSONAL BODYGRUAD.
Riya screamed at her assistant. Her assistant didn't change expressions at all.
:Assistant:
This is what you got for cutting my paycheck last week.
:Riya:
Omg, when will you get over that? It wasn’t my fault. That was my dad's decision and I couldn’t change even if I wanted to.
Meanwhile, Bang as he’s walking out the main door.
:Bang:
That girl was so pretty. I don’t know how I’m gonna be able to retain myself…
