Keep Up if You Can

Part 6- Keep me entertained

Audrey's P.O.V.

"Hi, gorgeous." I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face as I heard the voice of none other than Chris Evans in my ear.

"Hi." I whispered back, turning around to look at him. He wrapped his strong arms around me and pulled me into a tight hug, our bodies molding together as if they were made to do exactly this.

These past two weeks had been pure bliss. Well, pure bliss and sex. Lots and lots of sex. I could not get enough of this man, and seemingly, he couldn't get enough of me either. He gave me my first ever bathroom quickie the other day! By now, I knew his body better than I knew my own, yet I still wasn't growing tired of it. It still felt new and exciting, each time more exhilarating than the last.

"I was thinking that maybe we could go out tonight and do something fun."

"Like what?" I was a little shocked at his proposition, expecting this to be another booty call, which I would have been more than happy to answer.

"I don't know! Just something to get us off this movie lot and out of the trailers. We can go on a picnic, or to a restaurant. We can go to the pier and watch the sunset or walk on the beach. I don't care! I just want to go out and spend some time with you before you have to go back to England." He placed his forehead against mine, my previous elation quickly dispersing.

I was due to leave in less than a week, meaning I would no longer be seeing Chris everyday. In fact, I had no idea when we'd be able to spend time together again after this. I think, honestly, we've both been acutely aware of this fact in the back of our minds, and that's part of the reason we've been shagging so frequently. Neither of us wanted to spare a moment of closeness.

"Why don't we go have a picnic on the beach, and watch the sunset? Get a little bit of everything in there in one go." I tried to joke a bit, and I had to give him credit for the small smile he forced.

"I like it, but not nearly as much as I like you." He smirked before kissing my nose and pulling away. "I'll get the food sorted out if you want to go ahead and start grabbing the other stuff that we'll need."

"Sounds good." He gently kissed me on the forehead, then turned to walk away. "Chris?"

"Yeah?"

"We'll still see each other after this, right?" My question was not dignified with an answer, only a sad smile. A pit of unease settled in my stomach as I watched him walk out the door.

He wouldn't just use me, would he? He really likes me, just like I like him, he's said as much. Why wouldn't he try to keep in touch if that's true? He will, I know he will... I hope he will.

My mind raced for the rest of the afternoon, Chris' lack of an answer sending me spiraling. My packing was absentminded, and I didn't even hear the door of my trailer open, my only alert being the arms I felt wrap around my midsection.

"Do you have everything ready?" He kissed my jaw, then trailed his lips down my neck.

"Why didn't you answer me? We are going to stay in touch, right?" I fired at him without warning. I felt him still behind me.

"Of course, babe."

"Then why didn't you answer me earlier?"

"I just didn't want you to think that it's gonna be frequent. My career is finally taking off, which means I'm constantly busy with filming. Not to mention your booming makeup career. I would love to spend every second with you, but I don't want you to get this false hope that that's what it's actually going to be like. The harsh reality of it is that we will probably very seldom actually see each other." He released a disappointed sigh once he'd said his piece, his eyes searching mine like I had the answer to this problem.

"I know you're right, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept." I could feel the tears building in the rims of my eyes, my bottom lips beginning to tremble.

"Hey, don't cry. I know it sucks, but we'll figure it out. Besides, we still have a few days left, we'll just have to savor every last second. No more thinking about that stuff, okay? We'll figure that out when we get there, let's just be together right now." He wrapped me in his arms once again, then pulled away and grabbed our bags.

The drive was pretty much silent aside from the music playing on the stereo. Despite Chris' plead for me to forget about it, I just couldn't shake this sense of impending doom in my stomach. Something was about to happen, I could feel it, I just wasn't sure what it was, or how bad it was going to be. I suppose that in the meantime I will just ignore it and allow Chris to keep me entertained, since he is rather talented in that area.
