The Coffee Shop

Part 9

I could believe my eyes when I saw the clock and it was almost 4:00. Chris liked to party a lot. I sat on a couch next to Elsa. I was so envy of her, she was wearing boots. I looked at my feet, there they were the murder weapon. Those heels hurt hell itself.

"So you are regretting dating Chris right now, am I right?" Elsa looked at me with pity in her eyes.

"I'm regretting letting him to choose this stupid costume. I can't barely walk." I said while taking a very long ship for my drink.

"I have the solution right here!" Elizabeth came with two bottles of Champagne. "RDJ just gave me this."

She sat next to us and we started to drink that golden liquid. As soon as the bottles were empty and my sense were dumb, I was sure I couldn't even feel my eyelashes. Robert came with another couple of bottles while we were laughing and chatting. They told me a lot of gossips about Chris, Elizabeth told me that she got married during lockdown in secret and Elsa was being a proud of mom of her three children. In that exact moment I felt how a normal life could fix in between all that crazy life, all those travels and fame. Robert brought another couple of bottles and sat next to us. In the dance floor were Chris, Hemsworth, Mackie, Paul Rudd and Sebastian doing silly things. Chris waved and smiled at me and all the boys started to making fun of him. Elisabeth and me laughed at the situation while Elsa was being embarrassed of his husband.

"So, Miss Skywalker. How did you meet Chris?" Robert asked.

"Didn't he tell you?"

"He is being very secretive about you... He doesn't want us to scare you" Elizabeth said.

"I can understand that feeling... Have you seen my husband dress up as a kangaroo?"

"Actually this morning I was dress up as a dinosaur for my lessons... So, I can't blame him..." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Excuse me? Do you have any pic?" Elizabeth asked. I passed her my phone showing her all the videos and pics. She started to show them to my companions. "Oh my god! Now I understand why Chris likes you so much! You are hilarious!"

"If you say so" I said a little embarrassed while taking another ship to my drink.

"So how did you guys meet?" Elsa asked this time.

"Chris split my coffee all over me when I was going out of a Coffee Shop. I forgot my notebook and he brought it to my class at NYU. And then he invited me to have dinner because he was feeling sorry for my shirt..."

"For you shirt, right" Robert smiled.

"What? What did I miss?"

"Oh my poor Julia. You are so young... One day I will tell you" He replied.

"I didn't know you were a student at NYU" Elizabeth said.

"Actually, I'm a professor."

"EXCUSE ME?" 

"Yes, I teach archeology and conservation. I am specialized in Roman and Iberian art in the Iberian Peninsula."

"But that isn't all. She works at the MET. She is in charge of temporary exhibitions."

"That's amazing!" Elsa said. "Last year we went to the MET gala and we were so impressed by the MET that we visit it every time we are here."

"Right!?" Elizabeth said. "Can you imagine being able to get lost over there?"

"Next time I'm not at NYU I can show you around if you want to."

"YES!" All three of them replied at the same time and I couldn't help but laugh.

"We can pay you in coffees" Robert said while laughing.

Chris' POV

"How did you manage to get such a gorgeous and intelligent woman?" Mackie said. "I mean, she is obviously out of your league."

"Thank you, buddy, I love you too..." I said with a very aggressive look in my eyes.

"Don't get me wrong! I love you, man. But she is just amazing. She is funny, she can dance, she has an amazing job..."

"Jobs" Robert added. "She is a professor and worked at the MET."

"And she is young, right?" Mackie asked. "She seems young."

"28 years old." I said.

"Oh my good! How did you trick her into dating you? You are a dinosaur!"

"She dressed up as a dinosaur for her job and had learned a language just to be able to understand her nephews..." Hemsworth said

"That's impressive!" Paul said.

"Do you mean the dinosaur custom or that she can speak more than English?" Hemsworth asked.

"She can speak 4 languages actually" I said very proud of the girl that was my girlfriend.

"Chris, treat this girl right ... or you'll regret it" Sebastian said while taking a really long ship to his whiskey.

"Oh man! You are worse than my family.." I said.

"This is revenge" Mackie said.

"For all the times you did this to us" Seb added.

"So did you have a good time?" Chris asked.

We were at the taxi. Chris was able to get rid of his friend and came to save me from the interrogation Robert was doing. Elizabeth asked me to call her Lizzie and to meet her the next time Chris was out of the city. When I told them that my family was in another city they instantly tried to make me feel like a part of their lifes. I could understand so much why Chris loved them so much and to see what a family they were... was just amazing. I looked at my phone and they there were Lizzie, Elsa and Robert Downey Junior phone numbers and a lot of pictures from the night. I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Julia? Did you hear me?"

"Yes. Sorry, Chris. I'm so tired but I had a really great time. Your friends are amazing."

"I'm so glad you liked them. And they obviously loved you. Robert has threatened me with death if I dear to dump you."

"Remember me to raised his salary. He is doing an amazing job." We both laughed.

The taxi stopped in front of Chris' place. As soon as we were out in the streets I could feel the cold air of November hitting my face. I tried to hide myself into Chris arms and he just laughed. My feet were hurting again and when he realized about that he grabbed me and carried me.

"Chris! I can walk!"

"Don't lie to me! You were blaming me because of that shoes so let me do my part now, okay? I'm a  gentleman!" He said very proudly.

"Who did tell you about the shoes?"

"I won't tell you."

At the time we get into the elevator he left in the floor again. He looked straight into my eyes and started to kiss me. We were obviously a little drunk to care if someone found us like that. As soon as the elevator arrive to Chris' floor he grabbed me again, opened the door, closed it with his foot and took me straight to the bedroom. Then he started to take off my shoes while kissing every inch of my legs. I could feet the heat all over my body. Then he started to kissed me again while touching every inch of my naked skin.

"I think I need a shower" I said.

"Do you?" He said while kissing my neck this time.

"You know... I'm very sweaty..."

"Do you want me to stop?" He asked while looking straight into my eyes.

"We can have that shower together."

"How can you be so perfect?" 

Before I could ever said something, he kissed me again.
