"So you haven't seen him since?" Bentley asked as we sat on her couch and the kids playing upstairs.
"Nope, haven't seen or heard from him and its been 4 days. I should have known he was too good to be true." I said and Bentley sighed.
"I'm really sorry Maisie I know you really liked him." Bentley said and I shrugged.
"I'm okay I mean I feel like an idiot for bringing Posey around so soon even after he found out about her, she likes Chris and got attached." I said.
"What if you called him and planned to meet up somewhere to talk?" Bentley asked and I shook my head.
"I told him he could contact me. I told him to take a couple days but I thought if he really liked me he would have called already." I said.
"Maybe he is scared." Bentley said.
"Or maybe he is a jackass. I should have known better than to get involved in someone. I mean I think you got that last good man with Ransom." Bentley laughed.
"Sweetie, everyone had skeletons. Some more than others." Bentley said and I just shrugged as my cellphone went off.
CHRIS: Hi.
"He seriously did not just text me "Hi" like nothing is wrong?" I asked and showed Bentley.
"Answer him and be nice." Bentley said and I sighed.
"Why?" I asked and she smacked my arm.
"Be nice." Bentley said using her mom voice on me and I laughed.
MAISIE: Hi.
CHRIS: How are you?
MAISIE: Don't do this Chris.
CHRIS: Fine, can we meet up and talk?
"Do it!" Bentley said. I put my phone in pocket.
"MAISIE!" Bentley said and hit my arm.
"What?" I asked.
"He is reaching out like you wanted him to do for 4 days! Don't make him wait now. You know you aren't this petty." Bentley said and I groaned and pulled my phone back out.
MAISIE: Where?
CHRIS: Haute?
MAISIE: Fine, be there in 20 minutes.
CHRIS: I'll be waiting with your lemonade.
"Can you watch Posey?" I asked and Bentley nodded.
"Of course." She said and I stood up.
"I shouldn't be too long." I said and she sighed.
"Will you stop, you don't know what he is going to say. Just let the conversation happen naturally." Bentley said and I nodded and headed to the door.
"I'll be back for my kid later." I said and she laughed as I left. I drove to Haute nervous unsure as to why. This wasn't like I was meeting him for the first time. After our last encounter though after saying what he said I was still hurt. I got to the coffee shop and heading inside and went straight to the table we sat at the first time we were there when I saw him sitting there.
"Hi." I said sitting down and he looked up from his phone and sighed a sigh of relief.
"Waiting for a call?" I asked pointing to his phone.
"I was waiting for a text from you saying you weren't coming." Chris said and handed me my drink.
"I wouldn't do that after I said I was coming Chris." I said and he sighed.
"I know, that's not you." Chris said.
"Just flirting with guys and leading them on is right?" I asked with a bit of an attitude and he groaned.
"Listen...I was angry the other night..." Chris said.
"And I was hurt! You assumed the worst. You accused me of using Posey as a pawn and that's something I won't stand for Chris. She really likes you and then you pull shit like that." I said and he nodded
"I know, I was angry and jealous. I really like you Maisie and to see you act like that with those guys really upset me." Chris said.
"You think I wanted to do it? You think I like having to flirt with some of these people? No! I hate it but it comes with the job description. I need you to understand that I like you a lot too Chris and what I have to do for my job I have to do. I mean come on we are together and you tell me you have to film a love scene with someone, do you expect me to like it?" I asked and he sighed and shook his head.
"No, I can see where that would cause a problem." Chris said and I nodded.
"Exactly. So see my point. The only difference is I trust you Chris, I would trust you 1000% but after one incident with me you have no faith or trust and I just don't know how to handle that Chris." I said and he placed his hands palms up on the table and I gave in placing mine in his.
"I'm sorry. I was already upset and wanted to see you because I wanted to introduce you to my mom who came to the game but then I saw you next door." Chris said and I groaned.
"Chris I would love to meet your mom but do you really think me in a cheerleader outfit at my job is the best place? I mean I would love for your mom to get to know me as Maisie not cheerleader Maisie." I said and Chris sighed with a nod.
"I know that now." Chris said and I gave a small smile. We were silent for a minute and he sighed.
"Can we work past this and be okay?" Chris asked and sighed.
"You hurt me, I just need you to know you did." I said and he nodded.
"I will do whatever I can to make it up to you." Chris said and I gave a small smile.
"Just kiss me Evans." I said and he smiled and leaned across the table and gave me a small kiss.
"You get more once we are alone." Chris said and I smiled.
"Well why don't we get out of here and get somewhere we can be alone?" I asked and Chris smiled and nodded.
"Where is Posey?" Chris asked.
"With a friend. Never gave a time I was picking her up." I said and Chris smirked at me.
"Follow me to my house." Chris said and I nodded as we left the coffee shop.
