“Unexpected Gifts” Pt. 8

Story Summary: After college, you moved to L.A. to begin pursuing your dream in the movie industry. You started as an intern and worked your way to leading stunt coordinator for the Marvel franchise on the set of the movie “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.” After the first week, you get a call that changes your life forever. You sister took her life, left you with her two month old daughter, and you are falling in love with one shield wielding maniac. 

Pairings: Chris Evan x Reader 

Warnings: None. 

A/N: I hope this makes up for how short  the last chapter was :)

{Part 1}     {Part 2}     {Part 3}     {Part 4}     {Part 5}     {Part 6}     {Part 7}

Over the next several weeks that was yours and Chris’s normal date night, alternating between your apartment and Chris’s. Chris even went as far as purchasing a pack-n-play and a bouncer for Olivia. The night you went over there and saw both items, you knew you had an amazing man. 

Finally, Chris had enough of the apartment date nights. You were walking around your apartment in your black, silk mid-thigh robe and Olivia on your hip when a knock was heard throughout the small space. You quirked an eyebrow at Olivia, who just giggled. 

“Who could it be Livie? Are you expecting someone?” You questioned the infant, who babbled in response.

You looked through the peephole of your door and gasped at the sight. Chris was on the other side in navy slacks, a white button down and brown dress shoes. He looked incredible, you thought. You pulled the door open. 

“Chris? What are you doing here?” You inquired. 

Chris was caught completely off guard by your appearance. He had never seen this much of you. You always had on leggings or jeans and a t-shirt when he was around. He eyed you up and down, very obviously. When his eyes met yours, he cleared his throat. 

“Y/N, I like you a lot, but I am tired of our apartment dates. I want to take you out to dinner and show you off.” He stated with a pleading look in his eyes. “I know I am not just dealing with you but also Olivia, so yes, I completely understand not always wanting to go out, but we haven’t gone out once. So, that is what we are doing tonight.” He stated as he walked through the door. 

You were slightly stunned by Chris’s spill. You stepped back as he entered. “Chris, have you looked at me? I can’t go out!” 

“Yes, baby, I have looked at you and you look incredibly sexy, but I need you to hand me the baby, and take your sexy butt in your bedroom and get ready to go to fancy restaurant down town.” Chris stated as he took Olivia. 

You could not help the pout the spread across you face. Did you want to go on an actual date with Chris? Yes. But did you also want to sit on the couch in your robe and eat Ben & Jerry’s? Yes. 

Chris leaned down and planted the sweetest kiss on your lips. “You have an hour and half, so go.” He nodded his head towards your bedroom. 

With a huff, you walked away into your bedroom. Luckily, you and Olivia had just finished your baths twenty minutes before Chris showed up. You sat down at your vanity in the bathroom and started your makeup. You made sure it was perfect, a simple smoky eye and a nude lip. You curled your hair in large, loose curls and teased it at the roots for extra volume. 

Once you finished, you made your way into the closet to pick out your outfit. The way Chris was dressed, you instantly started looking for a dress. You pulled out a navy, satin wrap dress and smiled. You weren’t trying to match Chris, but you knew how amazing the dress would look. 

You put the dress on and tied it at your waist. You slipped on a pair of nude heels, added large gold earrings, and grabbed your clutch. 

You exited your room just as Chris started talking to what seemed to be a babysitter. Chris stopped and looked over at you. He was even more star struck than when you opened the door of your apartment. The blush crept onto your cheeks and you looked at the ground. 

“Y/N, this is Lizzie.” You looked up at the girl. She looked to be at least in her twenties. “She will be keeping Olivia while we are out. Scarlett gave me her number.” Chris explained. 

A breath of relief left your lungs. Knowing that she has watched Scarlett’s daughter was soothing. You smiled at her as she reached to shake your hand. 

“Are their any allergies that I should know about?” Lizzie asked.

“No, she is allergy free.” You told her. “Oh I should probably write you a small schedule of what she’ll need for the rest of the night.” You began walking to the kitchen. 

“Oh, no worries ma’am. Your husband already gave it to me.” She smiled holding a small paper up. 

Chris knew Olivia’s schedule just as well as you did at that point. You blushed again at the fact that she called Chris your husband. You didn’t want to embarrass her, so you let it go. Chris couldn’t help the blush that crept onto his cheeks as well. 

“Oh, ok.” You smiled at Chris. “Umm just a fair warning, Olivia can be picky. So, when you get ready to feed her, your best bet is sweet potatoes or bananas.” You explained to her. “She will eat the whole jar of either of those.” 

Lizzie nodded with a smile. You walked over and picked Olivia up from her play mat. “Bye sweet girl! I love you.” You kissed her cheeks.

Chris pulled out his wallet. “I ordered you a pizza, so this is for that.” Chris handed over a twenty dollar bill.

After sliding his wallet into his back pocket, he opened the door. “Alright, we should be back no later than 10.” Chris told her as he put his arm around your waist to walk you out of the door. 

You smiled one more time at Lizzie then walked out of the door. Chris closed the door behind him. He stopped you before you reached the stairs. You turned around to face him, and as much as you wanted to pout you couldn’t. 

“You look absolutely incredible!” Chris leaned in to kiss you. You met him in the middle and kissed back. “That color is amazing on you.” 

You smiled up at him. “Flattery will get you everywhere, Mr. Evans.” 

He smirked down at you. “Hmm, and where exactly is that Mrs. Evans?” Chris teased. 

You laughed softly. “I didn't have the heart to correct her.” You admitted to him. 

“I didn’t either.” Chris said as you both made your way to the stairs.

Chris noticed you were slightly tense, and he knew it had to be from you worrying about Olivia. “And I don’t want you to worry about Olivia. Scarlett told me that Lizzie was the best sitter she has ever had.” 

You exhaled and look up at him. “I trust Scarlett. It’s just that I’ve never left her alone with anyone for this long.” You confessed to him. “Sure, I’ve left her with Elizabeth or Scarlett for like thirty minutes but never for this long.” 

Chris rubbed soothing circles on your back as you walked down the stairs. “I have her number, and if at any point you want to check in, just let me know.” 

You reached the bottom of the stairs and headed for the front door. Chris put his arm around your waist and escorted you out to his car. 

Chris opened the car door for you and helped you in. “Glad to see chivalry isn’t dead.” You smiled.

“With me, it never will be.” He gently shut the door and walked around to the driver’s side. 

“So, where are going to eat exactly?” You glanced at Chris as he started the car.

“A steak house down town.” He grinned. You nodded and put your seat belt on. Chris pulled out of the parking lot and drove to the restaurant.

Chris continued with being the perfect gentleman. He helped you out of the car, held the door, and pulled your chair out for you at the table. 

 You smiled at Chris across the table. It was the perfect setting, a small round table with a candle at the center, the lights were dim, but no so much that you couldn’t make out Chris’s sculpted features. A server came by and filled the water glasses as you glanced over the menu.

 The waitress walked up to the table with a smile. “Welcome, I’m Katie, I’ll be waiting on you this evening. Can I get you started with something to drink, maybe something from the bar?” 

“Water is fine.” You smiled. Chris ordered himself a drink from the bar then looked back at you. The waitress nodded and went to put Chris’s drink order in.

“You know you can get a drink.” He said leaning on the table slightly. 

“I know, I just don’t feel like drinking tonight.” Chris nodded, seeming satisfied with your answer.

You smiled at him before looking down at your menu. After looking the menu over, you narrowed down your options, but before making your final decision you laid the menu down.

“So have any new projects in the works?” You look at Chris with a smile.

“Well, I have some shoots to do for another marvel project then after that I’m free for a while. I’m thinking about going back to Boston for a while, so I can see my family.” He said as he laid his menu down.

A small pout made its way across your features. You didn’t want Chris to go home. “Oh, that will be nice!” You forced a smile.

Chris could tell that the wheels were turning in your head. “Y/N, that doesn’t mean I’m leaving you in the dust. I was actually going to ask if you and Olivia would like to join me in Boston.”

The pout subsided and a genuine smile took it’s place. “Well, I will have to look at my schedule but I would really like that.” 

Chris smiled widely and took your hand from across the table. “Good, because I’ve already booked us a flight.”

Hi! Could I please be added to your taglist for Unexpected Gifts? 💜

Of course!!💗💗

Hormonal - Dash Wilder

You were in your third trimester with your baby girl and you had a few more weeks to go before she was due. Until then, you were very hormonal and cranky. You felt bad because you took all your anger and hormonal stage out on Dash. He didn’t do anything wrong and you knew that.  You were currently back at home, trying anything to get comfortable. You couldn’t watch any TV shows because all you would do is cry. Especially in The Notebook.  You were on the couch when you heard Dash come in the front door. Pawla,your and Dash’s bulldog, ran and greeted him. He had a bag of Subway for the two of you. He scratched Pawla behind the ear before walking over to you. “Okay, please don’t be upset but they ran out of chocolate chip cookies.” Dash said, trying not to get to close to you. Your hormones kicked in and you started crying over not having chocolate chip cookies.  “I have been craving those all week, Dash! Couldn’t you have stopped somewhere and got some?” You exclaimed, wiping your tears. “Don’t worry, darling. I can make you some.” That cheered you right up. “Thank you.” You smiled as he handed you the sub. “You’re welcome.” Dash chuckled before walking into the kitchen.  — As Dash was in the kitchen making the cookies, you started to feel guilty about yelling at him just over cookies. You got up from the couch and waddled over to the kitchen. Dash was just pulling the cookies out of the oven.  “I’m sorry.” You sighed, walking over to him. He looked at you. “It’s okay, I know you don’t mean it.” Dash said.  You wrapped your arms around his waist.  “You go through a lot with me being hormonal and having all of these mood swings. I’m sorry I put you through it.” You apologized some more. Dash kissed your forehead.  “You don’t mean to do it. I love you and I want the best for you.” That brought a smile on your face. 

i just finished reading unexpected gifts and it's amazing. you're so talented. can I please be added to your taglist? 💖

Thank you!! Yes of course!!💖💖💖

“Unexpected Gifts” Pt.6

Story Summary: After college, you moved to L.A. to begin pursuing your dream in the movie industry. You started as an intern and worked your way to leading stunt coordinator for the Marvel franchise on the set of the movie “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.” After the first week, you get a call that changes your life forever. You sister took her life, left you with her two month old daughter, and you are falling in love with one shield wielding maniac. 

Pairings: Chris Evan x Reader 

Warnings: None. Maybe one cuss word

A/N: bold italics is a flash back 

{Part 1}     {Part 2}     {Part 3}     {Part 4}     {Part 5}     

Three weeks had passed and you were packing your bags for filming. You ended up not getting someone to keep Olivia. She was three months old and in three months she had been through enough. You decided that it was just better to bring her with you. Everyone was used to her, so it wasn’t a problem.

It was around four in the morning and you were getting dressed to head to the airport. The first location of filming was New York. You were trying not to wake Olivia as you got ready.

Over the last three week, your routine became more natural. You figured out different cries from Olivia and what she wanted. She even began to recognize things. It was an amazing thing to watch her reach different milestones. 

She would move her head to follow the toys in front of her. When Olivia would lay on her tummy, she would push-up on her arms and hold her head up. Chris was over at your apartment when she first held her head up.

Olivia is on the floor on her stomach, and you are next to her. Chris is laying on the couch, half asleep. You and Chris have become even closer over the last few weeks. Olivia is cooing and wiggling on the floor. You think you are seeing things when her head first lifts off the play mat. You start watching her intently. She does it again, raising her head just barely off the floor.

“Chris!” You call out excitedly.

He shoots up from the couch. “Huh! What?” He questions.

“She’s is holding her head up!” You smile up at him. He moves down to the floor and lays on his stomach facing her. She turns her head and looks at Chris while holding her head up.

“Good job Livie!” Chris coos at her with a smile.

Chris had become your best friend in a way. He was always willing to hang out or get you something if you needed it. Sometimes you would makeup something just so he would come over.

You finished getting dressed and began taking all the luggage down to your car. Once you finished that it was almost five and you needed to be leaving for the airport.

You hated to do it, but you had to get Olivia up and changed. You gently picked her up and laid her on your bed. You changed her diaper and put her in a clean onesie to travel in, normally she would have worn a cute outfit but it was just the airport. Luckily after changing her, she went back to sleep. You strapped her in her car seat and turned off all the lights. You locked your front door and headed for the car.

After getting in your car, you felt your phone buzz. You checked it and it was a message from Chris making sure you were up. You smiled at your phone. He was just too sweet. You responded that you were up and on your way to the airport. 

You arrived at the airport and got inside. You found the gate for your flight. The entire flight was booked out for cast and crew. Chris was already at the gate half asleep in a chair. You set your bag beside him and it made a slight thud. He opened his eyes and looked around. 

“Good morning sleepyhead!” You beamed at Chris with a smile. He smiled back at you. Olivia was strapped into the chest carrier around your torso. 

“Good morning to you two beautiful girls.” You blushed at his words. You turned around, so your back was to Chris, he got the hint and reached up to undo the buckle of the carrier. 

You gently got Olivia out and passed her to Chris. She was also half asleep. She yawned as she laid against Chris’s chest. It was almost as if that was her safe place. “Oh yeah Livie, I feel you.” Chris chuckled. 

You sat down beside Chris and smiled as he held Olivia. “You better be careful. People will be taking pictures and posting that you have a secret child.” You laughed. 

Chris continued to rub Olivia’s back until she was fully asleep again. “People can’t ever mind their own business.” He said.

“I think that comes in the job description.” 

He laughed softly. You both sat at the gate talking until it was time to board the plane. You found a seat and sat down with Olivia in your arms. It was a row of three seats, you were in the window seat. Chris made his way down the aisle and plopped down into the aisle seat of your row. 

“You couldn’t help yourself, could you?” You teased. 

“No, I needed to be next to the two most beautiful girls.” Chris smirked.

Scarlett poked her head up from the row behind you. “Excuse you?” She quirked her eyebrow. 

“Sorry, sorry. Correction, the three most beautiful girls.” You all laughed. 

You knew how good of a relationship Scarlett and Chris had, and it was fun to watch at times. They were close and you didn’t mind it. 

Everyone boarded the flight and take off began. The flight was easy. Olivia was as easy going as the first time you flew with her. A couple hours later, the plane landed in New York. Everyone made it off the flight and through the airport to the vans waiting outside. Chris was ushered onto a van with the cast, while you and Olivia were put on a van with the stunt crew. You got Olivia’s car seat and strapped her in.  The luggage was loaded and the vans left for the hotel. 

Chris powered his phone on and it began to blow up with notifications from Twitter and text messages with screenshots of pictures. Just like you said, people had taken pictures of him holding Olivia and playing with her this morning in the airport.

“So has @ChrisEvans been keeping a secret?”

“Does @ChrisEvans have a secret?”

“🤨🤨🤨 @ChrisEvans”

“@ChrisEvans with a baby!😍 my ovaries are exploding”

“Daddy!😍😍😍 @ChrisEvans”

Chris ignored the posts on twitter and the text messages. He decided he wasn’t going to tell you because he knew it would make you feel bad and you would blame yourself.

Once you were at the hotel, you grabbed your large suitcase and held Olivia’s car seat in the other hand. You began trudging for the elevator. Chris rushed up beside you and took your suitcase from your hand. 

“You know you could ask for help.” He stated as the elevator doors opened. 

“I know, but I don’t like bothering people.” You said adjusting the grip in the car seat handle. He shook his head and laughed. 

“You are stubborn.” He teased.

“What? Can’t handle it?” You smirked up at him. 

“Oh, I can handle it just fine, baby girl.” Your cheeks turned bright red at the sound of the pet name. You were glad it was just you two and Olivia in the elevator. While in the elevator, you could hear Chris’s phone dinging over and over again.

“Is your phone ringing?” You questioned.

“No, it’s probably just emails.” He said looking in front of him.

“Are you sure?” You looked up at him.

“I’m sure.” Chris said. It continued buzzing. You reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone. “Y/N, it’s nothing.”

You looked at the screen and saw a picture from the airport this morning and 15 notifications from Twitter.

“We’re you going to tell me?” You asked.

“No, I didnt want you to think it was your fault or for you to feel bad.” Chris stated.

“Well, it is my fault! And I do feel bad!” You sighed. “If I hadn’t handed Olivia to you, no one would have taken pictures of you and rumors wouldn’t be spreading that you have a secret child!”

The elevator sounded as you reached the tenth floor. You stepped off and walked to your door.

“Chris, I’m so sorry! I don’t want to make your life anymore complicated than it already is. So if you change your mind about waiting, I’ll understand.” You said as you pushed open your door.

Chris followed you in with your luggage. You set Olivia’s car seat on the bed.

“Y/N, you and Olivia do not complicate anything. Like you said, it’s in the job description.” He said looking down at you. “I want you and I want Olivia. The fact that you’re handling all this so well, makes me want you even more. You are so strong and you are being a hero in my opinion. I will wait as long as I have too.” Chris kissed your forehead.

You just looked up at him. “I don’t think you’re human.” You said. Chris laughed. “You are an Angel.”

“I’m not an angel.” He said. You smiled at him.

“How are you going to handle the rumors?” 

“Don’t worry about that.” He pressed a kiss to your forehead.

“Treated Right”

Summary: Chris shows the reader how she should truly be treated.

Warnings: None.

A/N: I write in first person, it’s just easier to me. I’m also fully aware that Joe Johnson, the real director, is not a true jerk. It was again just easier. Also, the reader is from the Texas. I’m from the south and I thought it added something🤷🏼‍♀️

Somehow, at the age of twenty-two, I was hired as one of three director’s assistants for “Captain American: The First Avenger.” Each of us had different jobs, but mine I felt mine was definitely the best. I was the line of communication from the director and producers to the actors, mainly Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, and Hayley Atwell. But like all jobs there was a small down side, mine being the jerk of the century in my boss, Joe Johnston. The upside to this job heavily out weighed the down though, I met my best friend and boyfriend, Chris Evans.

I was first hired after the casting and such. My first day meeting the three stars, I would closely work with, was in a meeting. Chris, Sebastian, and Hayley were all brought to New York to go over a few changes in script.

They all came in and sat down in the conference room. Chris looked around. “Is there any coffee any where?” He asked.

Joe immediately said, “The girl-“ he looked at me, “is on her way to get some. Just tell her what you’d like.” I wanted to roll my eyes and scoff, but I kept it to myself. “The girl? Really? I have a name.” I thought to myself. I just smiled at the three stars and nodded. Chris wanted a medium coffee with two sugars and whole milk. Sebastian wanted a large black coffee. I almost gagged. “Who can drink that?” I thought. Hayley asked for a water. Joe wanted his usual. I wrote everything down and headed down to the small coffee cart in the lobby.

Marisa was the young girl who worked the coffee cart and she was kind of my only friend some days. I handed her the paper with the order on it. We made small talk while she fixed the drinks.

“Y/N, I’m out of whole milk.” She said as she fixed Chris’ coffee. “Really?” I whined a little. “What do you have?”

“2% milk, half and half, almond milk, and vanilla creamer.” She listed them off. “I don’t want to just put something in Chris Evans’ coffee. What if he notices?” I panicked a little not wanting to get further on the bad side of my boss.

“Well I can put those four in small cups and he can pick, them it’s not your fault.” Marisa thought of the idea. “That could work!” I perked up. She fixed four small cups with each and labeled them.

I returned to the conference room with what looked to be eight drinks. Before having a millisecond to explain, Joe jumped on me. “Eight drinks! Are you incompetent?” He shook his head. Chris and Sebastian both looked at each other as if they wanted to say something.

I passed out the drinks, Chris’ last. “Mr. Evans, the coffee cart was out of whole milk.” I stated as I placed his coffee down. “These four cups have different options, 2% milk, half and half, almond milk, and vanilla creamer. I wasn’t sure which you would like.” I said smiling.

“Thank you, very thoughtful.” Chris smiled at me. “I’ll take the half and half, and please just call me Chris.” He said. I nodded and handed it to him. Chris fixed his coffee then I cleaned up the trash.

As I was throwing away the extra cups, Joe looked at me. “You can go sit in the hall now.” I turned and looked at him. I nodded and grabbed my small bag and exited. Chris and Sebastian exchanged yet another look. I closed the door and sat on a bench in the hall for the next two hours.

Two hours later, Hayley exited the room followed by Sebastian then Chris and Joe. He glared at me. “You’re done for the day.” He said coldly. I nodded and began to put my laptop away. Joe said his goodbyes to the three stars and walked back into the conference room. Hailey and Sebastian did the same and went for the elevator. Chris leaned against the wall and watched me pack my things. I looked up at him and smiled.

“You know, you don’t have to take that from him.” He stated. I laughed and stood up. “But I do. He’s my boss and if I said anything back, I would end up fired.”

“You could at least remind him that you have a name.” Chris said. “You do have a name right?” He raised his eyebrow.

I laughed and blushed slightly. I couldn’t help that he was attractive and quite the flirt. “Yes, I do have a name.”

“And your name would be?” He stood up from leaning on the wall.

“Y/N” I said with a smile.

“Hmm, well see I think that sounds much better than ‘girl’.” Chris said. “How about you join me for lunch, Y/N?” He asked.

I raised my eyebrow. “You want ME to join you for lunch?” I was shocked.

“Yes, I would like to show you how a woman should be treated.” Chris stated. I blushed five shades of red.

“Ok.” I giggled and put my bag on my shoulder. He smiled and began walking with me to the elevator. “I know a great little cafe.” Chris said.

We left the Marvel offices and began walking. Talking to Chris was easy and it just flowed. We made it to the small cafe and were able to get a table outside. It was beautiful day. We sat down and our conversation just continued to flow.

“So what did you do to end up at the end of Joe’s anger?” Chris asked. I just shrugged. “You’re guess is as good as mine.” I said taking a bite of my sandwich.

“How’d you even know about this place? I’ve lived here for four years and didn’t even know it existed.” I asked changing the subject.

“My sisters are travel gurus and they know all these little places that aren’t super crowded in just about every city.” Chris explained. I laughed softly and nodded.

“Hey, I see that coming in handy.” I smiled at him. I couldn’t help but stare just slightly at him. The way his eyes shine and the way he smiles.

The waitress came with the check and I fully intended on paying for my half of the meal. It wasn’t a date, or at least I didn’t think it was. I reached into my bag to grab my wallet.

Chris raised his eyebrow at me as he accepted the check. “What are you doing?” He asked as he placed his card in the book.

“I’m going to pay for my half of the meal.” I stated mater-of-factly. Chris laughed and handed the waitress the check. He gave her a look and she escaped to run his card.

“Chris, I’m a big girl. I can pay for my food.” I said.

“I know you can, doll.” Chris said with a smile. My cheeks flushed red at the sound of the pet name. “But I wanted to treat you like a real woman should be treated.” He reached across the table and laid his hand over mine. “I understand working for someone who’s not easy to deal with, it happens a lot in this business. That being the case doesn’t mean you deserve to be treated in such a crude and harsh way.”

I couldn’t help but smile at his kind words. Before I could give my response, the waitress returned with his card. He put his card away and pocketed his wallet. We stood and I figured we would part ways from the small cafe.

“So as I continue to treat you like a real woman, which way is your apartment? I’m now going to walk you home.” Chris stated. I could not help but laugh softly at how confident his statement sounded.

“It’s this way.” I said smiling as we walked out of the restaurant and headed down the street.

“So, you’re from Massachusetts, right?” I asked Chris as we walked.

“Yeah, Boston to be exact.” He smiled proudly. “And you are from?” Chris raised his eyebrow and gave me side glance.

“Well, I’m not from around here.” I laughed.

“Oh, I can tell.” He said. “That accent is definitely not one of a Yankee native.” I couldn’t help but laugh, I thought I was doing a pretty good job at covering my accent.

“Alright, alright, you got me!” I smiled “I’m from Texas.”

“Texas?” He said looking at me as we stopped at a cross walk. “Well I will give it to you, I definitely would not have guessed Texas.”

“Well then, where would you have guessed then?” I asked, quirking my eyebrow up and finally letting my accent become more natural.

“I don’t know, maybe somewhere south but definitely not that south.” Chris laughed. I blushed and smiled.

“Yeah, well I’m just a southern belle.” I said exaggerating my southern accent. Chris laughed as we continued our walk to my apartment.

After a few more blocks, we made it to the lobby of my apartment building. “Thank you, Chris!” I smiled up at him. “You definitely showed me how a woman should be treated.”

“That’s good, but I’ve got one more thing to show you.” He said with a smirk.

I raised my eyebrow at him as he stepped closer. He slowly reached his hand up and rested it against my cheek as he leaned in. I knew it was coming. I raised up on my toes just slightly and met his lips. I rested my hand against his chest. As cliché as it sounds, our kiss was electric.

I pulled away as my cheeks turned red. I looked up at him with a soft smile. “I’m not complaining, but why?”

He laughed and smiled down at me. “Because you, Y/N, are absolutely stunning, you’re obviously very smart and talented. You also deserve to be treated with respect and like the woman you are.”

I think I almost melted as I listened to him. “So if it’s ok with you, I want to take you out on a date.” Chris said. “Not like what we just did because I get the feeling you didn’t think that was a date.” He laughed softly. “Like a ‘pick you up at 8, wear something nice’ type date.”

My cheeks were still red as I nodded. “I’d really like that.” I smiled up at him. Chris took my phone from my hand and put his number in my contacts.

“I’m in New York until Wednesday morning. I’ll pick you up tomorrow night at 8.” Chris smirked and handed me my phone. “And wear something nice.” He winked and started walking away.
