Loving You From a Distance [Evansson]

Chapter 9: Clubbing?

    After the almost kiss incident both Scarlett and Chris were worried that things between then would be awkward. They should never had gotten that close. How could they had been so careless. They promised each other that things between them were fine. So they just went back to their normally routine of casual flirting, but strictly remaining friends.

     Since filming was winding down the cast had nights off more often. They went to dinner almost every night together as a group. Scarlett and Chris hadn't got much one on one time, but perhaps not being alone together was a good thing. It was easier to resist the urge of wanting to be all over each other. They had gone skinny dipping with the cast a few more times as well, but they never got too close. Instead they stayed their distance.

     "Hey Scarly are you coming clubbing tonight?" Chris asked throwing himself on the sofa in Scarlett's trailer. She was supposed to be reviewing her lines for tomorrow's scenes, but Chris had walked into her trailer unannounced and he was not planning on leaving. So they just hang out while they waited to be called back onto set.
     "I can't I am underage," Scarlett reminded him. She hated being the youngest out of the cast. Not only did they make fun of her for being the baby of the group, but she also could not hang out with them at bars. Most of the time they just went to restaurants so that Scarlett could join. However, since the movie was almost done the cast wanted to celebrate.
      "Don't you have a fake?" Chris asked.
     "I do, but it's in New York," one of her friends from high school had got it for her as a gift. They used to go bar hopping with her ex boyfriend Jack. They would also use it to buy alcohol for parties.
      "Ughh! You should just come anyways maybe the bouncer won't care," Chris said.
     "I don't know..." she said unsure.
     "It will be fine don't worry," he reassured her.
     "Fine," she gave in.
     "If you can't get in I will spend the night with you," he said.
     "Umm... I think I will be fine," she laughed. He realized his remark sounded a bit dirty and he started to turn red.
     "I mean like... Umm... go out to dinner or something... you know," he stubbled trying to dig himself out of a hole.
     "I know what you meant, but I will be fine," she smiled trying to reassure him. He was so cute back wheeling his words.

     After wrap Scarlett headed straight to the hotel to get ready. She needed to prepare to go to the club. She put on heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow. She needed to do everything possible to make herself look older. She put on a pink low v neck silk tank top. It was a halter style square scarf shirt. The front was quite revealing and the her back was basically bare. She had bought it on one of her many shopping trips with Erika. Her mom would have never let her buy it. However, she looked so hot in it. She put her hair up into a somewhat messy bun. The deep v neck shirt perfectly displayed her breasts.

     When she first tried it on in the store she had thought it was a bit too risky, but Erika had convinced her to buy it. She said that Chris would go crazy if he ever saw her in it. Scarlett dug through the drawers to look for a bottom. She was going to wear jeans, but it would probably be hot in the club. Instead she decided on a denim pleated mini skirt. To complete the look she wore white heeled sandals. She thought that if she appeared a bit tallier it might make her seem older. Scarlett was often praised for her maturity. Her deep voice and demeanour often made people think she was older than she really was. Her maturity was what was currently enticing casting directors to consider her for roles.

     Scarlett headed out of her room and walked down to hall to Chris's room. He was going to drive her as they were afraid that Scarlett's driver might snitch on them.
     "Wow!" Chris said as he opened the door. She looked incredible. He had to remind himself to stop looking at her chest. She looked beautiful. He really wanted her. He wanted to kiss her and make her feel special. He wanted to run his hands up the sides of her body and take off the halter top.
      "Are we going?" His fantasy was interrupted by Scarlett. He really could not take his eyes off of her. "You gotta stop starring at me like that. You have a girlfriend," Scarlett snapped. He was practically drooling over her.
       "Ya, Umm sorry," Chris grabbed his keys.
       "I only dressed like this so that I appear older," she fibbed. She wanted to see his reaction, and it was just as she thought. Her outfit really did catch his attention just as Erika had said.
     "You look perfect," he said.
     "Thanks," she took the compliment.
