Love on the carpet

Natural

Sam POV

I can't believe this right now, I'm stood in an incredible dress, on the arm of the one and only chris evans and I'm in a room full of incredible actors and producers and directors. I feel like I'm going to wake up soon.

I entered the competition, with the thought of I have no chance of winning. I donate to Christopher Haven every month, they took care of my brother when he was diagnosed with cancer at 14, they cared for him and helped my family up until he died when he was 18. But even after that, they would check in on me to make sure I was okay. I was 16 when he died and i took it really hard. He was my world. Our parents weren't exactly nice and we were taken in by our uncle when I was 8. Josh protected me all the time, he would take the beatings and beg for them to leave me alone. So when we moved in with our uncle, he continued to do the same thing, he wanted to protect me against the world. We both trusted our uncle. He was always nice to us and he helped us escape that hell. So when he died, both me and my uncle took it very hard and we helped each other through it.

So to be stood here with one of my favourite actors was incredibly special. I was really enjoying myself and everyone was so nice, expect for Jenny Slate. For some reason I don't think she likes me but I think that's because I'm here chris and I know they used to date. But other then that I'm having a great time.
Chris has popped to the bathroom so I'm just stood here taking everything in, when I feel a little tug on my dress, I look down and McKenna is stood there looking up at me.
"Hello sweetie"
"Do you want a cookie?"
"They have cookies. Ooooo point the way"
She giggles and takes me hand, she takes me a little table that has the cookies, they look so yummy. Cookies and ice cream are my guilty pleasures.
"Here" she hands me one and I can tell it's freshly baked. She takes one for herself and we head on over to a table. We sit and start tucking into our cookies. I feel a hand on my shoulder, and then breath on my neck.
"Where's mine?" I look up and chris is stood there smiling at me.
"You weren't here, so you snooze you loose I'm afraid" McKenna says between bites of her cookie.
I start laughing and so does chris.
"Here, have a bite of this one" I go to hand him some cookie, but instead of taking it from me, he just takes a bite, I feel his lip touch my finger and man does it feel good.
"Mmmmmm good, really good. I'll be back"
He walks off and I turn back to see McKenna smiling at me. "What are you smiling at?"
"Nothing" she giggles.

After a little while chris comes back over with a plate full of cookies. I can't help but laugh. Next thing I know is he is sitting next to me, very close and the cookies are in the middle of the table. Then a waiter comes over and brings us all some milk. I look at chris and quirk my eyebrow up at him.
"What? You can't have cookies without milk"
I laugh "that's very true"
So we sit there all 3 of us eating cookies and drinking milk. It was something I never thought I'd be doing with chris evans. It was fun.
We all talked about the movie and which bits where our favourites and then chris teased me for crying. I threw some cookie at him and he tickled me. We were laughing so loud, I don't know how more people didn't notice us.

McKenna excused herself to use the bathroom, giving me a very shy smirk as she left. I don't know what that was about.
Me and chris carried on chatting, then I heard someone clear there throat next to chris. I looked up and it was Jenny. She had her eyes focused on chris.

"Chris, can we talk?"
"Not right now Jenny. I'm with Sam"
"No it's okay, please go ahead" I said.
"Fine. I won't be long okay"
"Okay"
He walked off with Jenny and I sat there wondering what her problem was with me. I'd never even met her before and she seemed to hate me. I looked over and could see them in a heated exchange of words. I decided to look away and just take my phone out. I didn't tell anyone I was coming here tonight because I knew I'd have thousands of requests for photos and god knows what else. So I just look at my notes, I'm in the middle of writing a book and I'm jotting down ideas whenever I can. After a while, I feel chris sit back down next to me. I look over and he looks stressed out.

"You okay?"
He looks at me and smiles "I'm okay. Want to get out of here?"
"Can you leave?"
"I can.  I've been here long enough"
"Erm...okay"
"Great" we stand up and make our way to everyone to say goodbye. I give McKenna a big hug and she makes me promise to follow her on Instagram and she will follow back.
We walk outside and get into the car that's waiting for us.
"So where do you want to go?"
"Chris you don't have to take me anywhere I can just go back to the hotel"
"No don't be silly. I'm hungry so why don't we go get food. That was the plan afterwards"
"Okay but only if you want too. You seemed a bit distracted"
"I'm okay I promise. Jenny just gets to me is all. But enough about her. What do you wanna eat?"
"Honestly?"
"Yup"
"Tacos"
He laughs, "a girl after my own heart, I know the best place for tacos" he tells the driver the address and of we go.
I'm getting tacos with chris evans what is happening right now. I swear I'm going to wake up soon and this will all be a dream.
