Dark and Light

Chapter 19

Adam opens the door for us. He looks sad for me. He told me that Audrey let him know what happened. "That man, whoever he is. Is a fool Sabrina. Any man would be lucky to be able to have you." He says as he helps me out of the car. I thank him in between sniffles. He hands me a handkerchief to dry my eyes. "Mr. Evans please take care of our dear friend here. She doesn't deserve this. She is too kind." He tells Chris. Chris tells him not to worry he will. I try to shake things off before I head into the hotel. He wraps his large arm over my shoulder as we walk in. Devin is there still for some reason. I ask him if he ever goes home. Trying to laugh. "Miss Sabrina. Please forgive my boldness but Adam is my boyfriend. I was with him when Miss. Audrey texted him. I came right away. I have instructed the kitchen to stay open as I know sometimes food helps me in these situations. Is there anything I can have them send up to you?" He asks very concerned. Chris answers for me. "Pizza and chocolate cheesecake is what she usually needs when she goes through things. Also, Gatorade and water she needs to hydrate after the mass amount of tequila it has taken her to be this strong tonight. Bri, do you have whiskey in your room?" I shake my head. "I don't want Jameson's ever again Chris. Could you please send up a six pack of whatever IPA you have Devin?" I say still trying not to cry. "Consider it done. I will bring it up personally so you can have some privacy." He offers. I tell him to go home to his love I am ok now. Chris has been my best friend for a time now. He will take good care of me. I kiss him on the cheek and thank him. We head to the private elevator to get to my suite. It opens and we walk in. He wraps me in a hug. Letting me know he is there for me and isn't going anywhere.

           When it opens we get to the suite I take me coat and shoes off. Throwing my purse on the table. I got so angry my buzz is completely gone so now I am feeling everything. This hurt is worse than I felt with Jon. This cuts so much deeper. I let Chris know to make himself at home I am just going to shower. He says ok. I get to my bedroom. Getting the dress off. I sadly look at myself in the little red number I had so many plans for this evening in the mirror. I'm such a fool. I knew this would happen. My brain and Jon told me that a man like him could never truly love me. I should have listened. Save myself from this. Oh god and Chloe too. My poor girl having to go through this again. I just to start to sob loudly as I sink to the floor. Chris comes running through the door to see what is wrong stopping dead in his tracks. I must look pathetic to him I say. He walks up to me. Bends down putting his hands on either side of my face looking me in the eyes. "Even when you are crying you are by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Sabrina I have wanted you from the moment I saw you. I know you are devasted at this moment. But I know you have felt it too. I am asking for just a chance, Give me the chance to make you happier than you have ever know please." He kisses me. I push him back softly "Please Chris. I can't handle this right now." I say. "Just think about it beautiful. I promise I will just support you the rest of the night without anything funny. As hard as that will be for me. But you are going to have to go change this minute for that to happen. Because holy f*ck you are the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my life. I'm only a man. God you look so good in red." He kisses my forehead laughing. He turns and hands me a bathrobe over his shoulder. He leaves the room. I get into the shower. I let the hot water wash away as much of the day as I can. I dry off and wrap my hair up in a towel. I put on my Captain America leggings and a tee shirt with the shield on it. I am going to have to go shopping tomorrow. Everything else I have has Loki on it. I go to the living room where he is. He is on the couch watching rugby. I grab my phone and sit down next to him. "Well look at you beautiful. Cap looks good on you. By the way this English sports stuff. I don't get it. Can't wait to get home to football. We so need to do Gillette still." He puts his arm around me. I snuggle into his side. His hand lightly stroking my arm. This feels so. So right. Comfortable. I check my phone. I see a bunch of texts that I don't want to open right now. From the d*ckhead. I only open Audrey's.
