The Coffee Shop

Part 22

The days before Chris was going to travel to L.A for his new premier finally arrived. It was so crazy the day before with all his team in the flat, making him ready, checking everything was right with him and he even get a day to get facial treatments and massages. I was so envy of that part of his job while I was driving nuts trying to manage my two jobs. The good part was that I was able to meet his team, an amazing and beautiful group of people. At first, I felt like I was of out of place, they were dressing with high fashion and so trending while my blazers looked a little boring by their side. But as soon as they met me they started to treat me like an old friend, so nice, and they were already discussing what they would do with my make up and hair for the premier. But as soon as they left, that place felt big and empty.

The following days were a rollercoaster. I spent the little time Chris had left calling him and getting ready to travel. While things at NYU were getting weird. Emma was being extra nicely with me after she ignored me from the last couple of months. Sam told me not to trust her. One day, I found the reason: she was trying to make me introduced her to Chris and all his friends. That made me so mad. I was sitting on a restaurant with Elsa and Lizzie talking about this.

"You will get use to this." The Spanish girl said while grabbing my hand and giving me a comfort look. "This happened more often than you think."

"I guess so... But sometimes I just feel so weird with all this and now Emma... I just..." I sighed while grabbing a big piece of food that almost made me choked.

"Take it easy, Juls, please." Lizzie said pouring some water into my glass. "We need to take you to L.A in one piece."

"We?" I barely said while drinking water and trying to make the food go trough my esophagus. I looked at both of this girl while rising an eyebrow.

"Well. Chris and I are going to L.A too." Elsa said with a smile. "We didn't know because I was filming but they gave me an extra pair of free days in the last minutes. Chris is actually trying in some suits right now."

"That's amazing! We need to celebrate it! I won't be so alone!"

"Actually..." Lizzie started to say. "You will be taking photos with Chris, we will be able to meet while watching the movie, if they sit us together, or in the afterparty..."

"WHAT?! That's not what I was expecting." I sat leaving all the weight of my body in the back of the chair. I sighed while bringing my hands to my face.

"Calm down, Julia. It's just a moment and while you are free of taking photos with Chris, we will try to rescue you, okay? Don't worry." I could noticed the look Elsa was giving Lizzie, while she bit her lips and tried to say a sorry. I was nervous. Not, worse. I was scared.

Chris wasn't there when I arrived at the airport. Lucky enough for me, Lizzie was staying at the same hotel than us. We arrived to the front door but the lady didn't believe me when I said I was Chris' girlfriend. I phoned Maria, his agent, and in a second she called the hotel and the young lady in the front door changed her face. Lizzie tried to hide a smile while I said a thank you with my eyes full of hate. As soon as I laid in the bed, Chris called me.

"Did you arrive safe? Is everything okay there? Sorry for not meeting you... I'm still stuck in an interview but don't worry, I will get there soon."

"Yes, perfectly fine. In one piece. Lizzie and I were all the trip playing game and stuff... It was quite nice, we talked a lot about you." I could hear his laughed." Don't worry, babe. I just make myself comfortable, I took a shower. Lizzie was saying something about grabbing some food." Someone knocked at the door. " Hey, Chris. Should I open the door someone's knocking?"
