Fighter

Twenty three

Scarlett POV

It's been a while since Chris and I had our last movie marathon on a Friday night.

Wearing a T-shirt twice my size, I make two cups of ice cream and settle on the couch handing Chris one with three cherries.

- Nice shirt.- My best friend openly teases knowing full well that the shirt is from Y/N. She wore it for a few hours before bed the other night and it still smells like her. It's not perfume or soap, but her delicious natural scent.

- Thank you.- I joke, putting a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth.- So what did you bring for us to watch?

- Ocean's Eleven, Fight Club and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

- Are you still in the Brad Pitt phase?

- I don't have a Y/N Y/L/N to keep me warm at night so Brad makes up for it.

I steal a cherry from his glass and pop it into my mouth before he can complain.

- So how is Mrs. tall, rich and lickable?

- She's absolutely perfect.- I answer conquering Chris's cute little boy smile.

He's almost as excited as I am that Y/N and I have gotten close. I wish he met someone too. Someone he wanted to spend more than one night with, I mean.

- Do you think she would move to New York or will you have to move to Washington?

- We haven't reached that point yet.

- I see the way you look at her. The way she looks at you. You are at that point yes.- He puts a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth, then a shiver runs through his body.

- Froze the brain?

He nods his head.

- Just because it's only been a few weeks doesn't mean you're not in love.

- Who said I'm in love?

Chris looks at me like he's going to say what's ridiculously written all over my face.

- How is your love life? - I ask.- Are you still going out with the delivery guy?

- who? - I don't think so.

- When are you going to find someone you really want to have a relationship with?

- I have several relationships. - Chris says as if highlighting something very important.

- You know what I mean.

- When a Y/N Y/L/N enters my life.- He shrugs as if the answer is quite simple.

- I don't think there are two of her.- I say jokingly although I'm almost sure it's true.

Chris drops the spoon into the already empty cup with a loud thud.

- Don't. Say. That.

- Colin is available if you're interested.- I tease patting him on the shoulder.

- Thanks for waiting until I had finished my ice cream to say that. My stomach hurts just thinking about that man.

Chris gets up and takes my cup even though I still have ice cream in it.

- Hey, I'm not finished.- I complain.

He stuffs the last few spoonfuls into his mouth.

- Yes you did.- He winks and takes them to the kitchen sink.

- Fight Club? - He asks taking the DVDs.

- You hate fights.

- I did until i saw Y/N training with Richard the other day.- He sighs.- Besides Brad Pitt won't do any harm.
