Just a Hair Stylist - Chris Evans story \\✔️

Chapter thirty-eight

Team Cap took over a corner of one of the hotel restaurants. Megan and Josh were there to meet Chris. Sebastian and his manager, Mackie and his small team, and Joe Russo and his wife were all seated. Anthony stood and reached over the table to take your hand, smiling broadly as he called you Polka Dot and told you how glad he was you made it. You got a bear hug from Sebastian before he introduced you to his manager. You settled in next to Chris at the end of a table.

Dotted around the tables were a smattering of Marvel reps and other coordinators for the premier.The meal was more of a working dinner, as a majority of the conversation revolved around theupcoming event. Sebastian leaned around a couple people to ask how your foot was doing, whichcaught Mackie's ear and he chimed in he'd heard about that. They were both pleased to hear you'ddeclared yourself fully recovered.

After dinner, the group was corralled by a handler to set up for the "blue carpet". Walking throughthe service hallways of the hotel, to avoid eager fans and press, you enjoyed the all too shortmoments while you walked with Chris' fingers twisted lightly together with yours. Chris and therest of his "team" were directed to the ride for their entrance. With a quick kiss dotted to the side ofyour head and a squeeze of your hand, Chris was whisked away. Josh beckoned you to follow him. 

Outside the theatre, the street was packed with fans trying to catch a look or a chance to get inside.You flashed your credentials, like everyone else, as you shuffled in line with Josh into the venue.The two of you hung out in a green room of sorts, sipping on refreshments while you waited. Youpassed the time thanking Josh for his help again and chatting about your trip and visit to theForbidden City. Almost an hour later, there was an announcement made and Josh ushered you intothe theatre, pointing out the seats reserved for Chris and his guests. 

Taking a seat, at the end of Megan and Josh, you looked around, taking in the exciting moment.Okay, yeah. So, you already saw the movie in LA. But you never really see everything the firsttime you see a movie like Civil War. Everybody knows that. Your curiosity was piqued for whatyou might have missed. And besides, last time you watched with Frank and his family. Not a badplace to be, by any means, but this was your boyfriend's movie and, this time, you were going towatch it together.

Much like in Los Angeles, there was a small presentation of Team Cap before the viewing started.When it was over, you were applauding with everyone else, a soundtrack as Chris and his cohortsmade their way into the theatre seating before the house lights lowered and the show would start.You hadn't expected anything but to blend in with the crowd and Chris' little entourage. So, whenChris waved Josh down so he could sit next to you, your heart skipped a beat and your smilebeamed at his hand coming rest on your thigh, as the screen and speakers came to life. You putyour hand over his and your fingers curled around each other's hands, like you were on any otherdate to the movies. 

The applause in the theatre was thunderous. The premier was another success. This was going to bebig. Like, could be bigger than people were already projecting big. And you were thrilled to havebeen a part of it then and getting to watch it unfold now. Who woulda thunk, huh?

A reception followed the showing. You were definitely out of your element on this one. Thenumber of people there you actually knew could be counted between your two hands and withfingers to spare. And it's not like you could cling to your boyfriend's arm and have him show youthe way around and make introductions for you. You hadn't really considered that part of thenight.

While Chris made the rounds, you enjoyed the free drinks and spread. Megan helicoptered nearChris, making sure he managed his time to see everyone he was supposed to. Josh turned into yourtravel buddy, wondering around the room with you and doing his half of the work to keep a lightconversation going to pass the time. Thank god for Josh. He really was good people. You weredefinitely warming up to him.
