Just a Hair Stylist - Chris Evans story \\✔️

Chapter fourteen

Sunday afternoon at the zoo was the last event in the marathon sleepover weekend that was Karen's

daughter's birthday party. Little Sophie turned 9 on Friday and the celebration kicked off with

dinner, cake, and presents with family and some neighbor kids. Saturday afternoon corralled a half

dozen shrieking 8-10 year olds tear assing around the house, swimming, and singing Justin Bieber

before camping out in the living room watching movies till the wee hours. A day so chaotic, even

FEMA wouldn't touch it. You could practically feel the relief that Karen had for you being there to

help chaperon Sophie and the three friends who came with her.

Waiting at the restaraunt counter to pay for and get the last part of your lunch order, the girls

picked out a table while you and Karen chatted. You caught her up on your new Universal job and

she told you about her software engineer husband taking a new job with Activision Blizzard.

Inevitably, talk turned to your days on the Kingdom set. Karen mentioned seeing the video of you

and Frank "sparring" at Wizard World on his Instagram page and noted you two had become fast

friends.

"You know," you agreed, carrying a tray of drinks to the tables the children had commandeered in

the shade of the outside seating area, "I'm as surprised as the next person. Helluva guy to work for

though. He's just been so awesome."

You and Karen divvied up the food and drinks as Karen went on. "Well, since you've got the inside

track, you let me know first if Grillo and his wife ever split up."

"What about Allen?" you smiled, taking a seat for lunch.

"Everybody's got the list you get a free pass for," Karen winked. "Grillo's at the top of mine."

"That's terrible," you laughed.

"Everybody has a list," she assured you. "Who's on yours?"

You had to give it a moment of thought. Chris Evans used to be at the top of your lists, but he was

plainly disqualified. A guy can't be on the free pass list, or any of the others, if you're already

sleeping with him, right? But, come to think of it, there wasn't anyone on the top of the list. There

really wasn't a list at all, anymore. For god's sake, you already have Chris Evans. What more could

you want?

"Guess I haven't thought about it lately," you shrugged with a laugh at yourself for not being able

to come up with one name on the spot.

"Speaking of men to sin with, you still hear from Chris Evans anymore?" she asked, reaching over

to Sophie's table for some napkins for you two.

You shrugged, thankful to have a large bite of burger in your mouth preventing you from

answering. You chewed slow and tried to think fast. It's not that you wanted to lie or keep secrets

from Karen, but you definitely were afraid of any judgement she'd have for you about dating Chris.

She's been your friend since you met each other on a Warner Brothers show that only made it three
