Dark and Light

Chapter 34

"Sabrina Kathleen I can not believe you talked me into this!" My mom huffs. Giving me a dirty look when I giggle. "Take a deep breath Kathy. Everything will be wonderful. If anything we get to have this time together. Seeing London. Even if we have the hooligans with us." Lisa holds my mom's hand. It seems to help. Scott and I say "Hey!" at the same time. Breaking into giggles. "See what I mean? I swear that girl was meant to be in our lives years ago." Lisa laughs. "Ma he's going to love you. I mean who doesn't? Look at it this way too. You always have Renner on stand by." Robbie snickers. "Robert Downey Jr I swear to god! You keep that up I'm going to beat your *ss! You don't have suit to protect you right now either!" Ma turns in her seat. He giggles. "I don't know who's worse out of all of you. Thank god Christopher, Sebastian and Anthony aren't here too. I can only imagine the shenanigans that would ensue." Ma puts her head back. "Did you seriously just say shenanigans Ma? What year is this nineteen fifty?" I crack up. She glares at me so I keep my mouth shut. I look over to Aud. She's tense. I think I know why. Actually I'm a hundred percent sure I do. She thinks there's a chance she may run into him. I get up and sit next to her. "I'm fine really." She shakes her head. "You sure about that?" I probe. "Not really. I have Anthony now though. Is it wrong of me to be like this?" Turning her head to me. "No it isn't. Chris is my everything but it's still hard to see Zach sometimes. We felt for them deeply then they hurt us deeply. That doesn't go away Aud it just gets easier over time." Taking her hand. "Thanks for the hope." She laughs. "Sorry. Wish I could tell you that poof it will be gone tomorrow or Shazam in my case." I crack up with her. "He's filming right now so he probably won't be anywhere near us." She mumbles. "Audrey! You're still following that jack *ss?" I'm shocked. "Not really I just see stuff sometimes." She shrugs. She's lying to me I know it. I'll let it be for now. Everybody processes different. It's only been a few months. Mack makes her happy though anyone can see that. I hope if she does see him she remembers that. He's my friend too. We have grown close. I would hate for either of them to get hurt. He even called me the other day. To talk to me about how nervous he was about all of this. I tried my best to reassure him. But I know how I would feel if I was in his shoes. I squeeze her hand. My phone rings. It's my love. "Hey baby." I smile picking it up. "Hi Chris!" The whole rest of the crew on board calls out. He laughs. "Hey baby. Hi everyone. Having fun from the sounds of it." I can hear the smile in his voice. "We are." Cracking up at my friends. "I miss you already princess." He sighs. "I miss you too handsome." I giggle. "Jesus Evans it's been like seven hours calm down." Robbie huffs. I roll my eyes. I get the signal we're descending from the steward. "We're landing. I have to hang up baby. Call you later?" I smile. "Absolutely you will. Make sure you're alone." I know the tone and what it means. "Aye Aye my Captain. Love you." Not wanting to hang up. Laughing as I hear Scott say ew. Chris says he loves me and hangs up.

Standing there waiting for us with a huge smile is my dear friend. "Adam!" I yell excited. "My darling Sabrina!" He opens his arms. "Way to keep incognito Mrs. America." Robbie shakes his head chuckling. I hush him asking him and everyone once again to stop calling me that. Which as before I get told no. Guess I'll have to get used to it. Looking up I realize he's right. I should've thought better. We must have been spotted earlier. Camera flashes are everywhere. I frantically look for mom. She's completely overwhelmed. She hasn't had to deal with this yet like Chris's mom has. I need to make sure they're both safe. "Robbie! My Mamas!" I yell. "Covered. Just get to the car." He has them under his arms. Reassuring they are ok he has them. Lisa trying to calm Ma. Holding her hand. Airport security surrounds us in an instant. "This sucks Kathy. You'll get used to it though. Our poor kiddos. F*cking vultures." She grumbles. Scott tucks me and Audrey into him. Scar is in between all of us. Hiding her face two large men flanking her sides. Our names being called. Asking why we're in London. Robert in his constant state of sarcasm replies. "Pre bachelorette party! Now back off!" He yells. "Robbie!" I laugh. He smirks. "Well kinda is." Adam holds the door open. "Get in! I will take of the luggage. Never a dull moment with you." He chuckles closing the door. Instructing the porters with luggage to put everything in the van behind. He gets into the driver's seat. My attention is on my mother. Who's visibly shaking. Scar pours her a whiskey and hands it to her. Ma thanks her. "You ok Mama?" I'm worried for her. "I'm fine sweetie. That was just a lot. I don't know how you do this all the time." She says as she downs the whiskey. "Someone needs to text my grandbabies. I don't want Tommy and Zen to deal with that not being prepared. Especially with Lexie being with them." She sighs. Now I know she's ok. She's back to mother mode. I text him quickly and let him know. He thanks me for the head's up. He's warned Lexie who took the flight with them as room in the jet was limited. I breathe better knowing she's in good hands. "Bri. I checked with my man. He said no one is at the hotel. We should be there in only a moment. I better get a proper hug when we get there as our reunion was interrupted love. Devin is anxious to see you as well." He smiles in the rear view mirror. "Consider it done Adam. Happy to see you. You both joining us tomorrow night?" I ask hopeful. "Like we would miss it. I will apologize ahead of time for Devin." He starts to giggle. "Why's that?" Amused by his giddiness. "Well you both share a common taste. He has no idea the younger Mr. Evans is here. He may have a heart attack. Damn those Evans brothers and their blue eyes." He slaps the steering wheel laughing. Scotty blushes. "I did make good looking kids don't I?" She snickers. "A thousand apologies madame I didn't realize you were their mother." Her sputters. "It's alright. I've heard worse. From both of the mouths of their significant others in fact. When they think I can't hear them." She smiles. Scotty has his face in his hands. I'm completely mortified. I try to change the subject. "I told you that your brother wasn't the only one. You should've listened. I call you Scotty too Hotty for a reason." I snicker as he throws me a look. Well at least everyone else thought it was funny.
