I sat straight up in bed gasping to breath...it was a dream...Chris kissing me was a dream. I must have dozed off after my conversation with Aimee. I pulled my knees to my chest and rubbed my hands over my face. I could not do this, I could not think about kissing Chris, not now, not ever. I jumped when there was a knock on my door.

"Yeah?" I asked and the door open, I saw Chris standing there.

"Hey, sorry I didn't want to interrupt you..." Chris said and I shook my head.

"Oh no my conversation ended awhile go, I dozed off." I said and he gave a small laugh.

"Oh, well good thing I didn't come back earlier." Chris said and I shook my head.

"No, it's okay. What's up?" I asked and Chris sighed.

"Well I was wondering when you wanted to do dinner." Chris said and I sighed.

"Oh right..." I trailed off looking at the time.

"You okay?" Chris asked concerned seeing me flustered.

"Yeah just had a dream still weighing on my mind, must be because of the time change or something." I said and Chris smiled.

"Right...I'll get the room service menu ready. You want to watch a movie tonight?" Chris asked and I nodded with a smile.

"Horror or Disney?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Or both." Chris said and I nodded.

"Sounds good, I'll be out in a minute." I said. He nodded and closed the door and I fell back down o the bed grabbing my phone.

RO: 911!

AIMEE: What now?

RO: After our conversation I dozed off and had a dream Chris kissed me, it felt so real! Now I don't know how to act around him.

AIMEE: You need to chill, it was a kiss IN A DREAM. We were talking about this before you dozed off and it was on your mind. Calm down.

RO: You're right...I'm overreacting.

AIMEE: Obviously. You need to calm down. Go have dinner and relax.

RO: Okay, talk later. 😘

I put my phone in my pocket and headed out to the sitting area and Chris was looking over the menu.

"I see they have chicken tenders." Chris said and I laughed. Whenever we went out that was usually my go to at restaurants.

"I can't believe you remember that." Chris said and shrugged.

"The little things..." Chris said and I sat next to him. I looked over his shoulder and smiled.

"I think I want chicken tenders." I said and Chris chuckles.

"That sounds good. I'll call it in, you pick a movie." Chris said handing me the remote. Once Chris ordered the food, he looked at the movie I picked.

"You sure about this?" Chris asked seeing it was a scary movie.

"I am and either way I have Captain America at my side." I said and he laughed.

"Well not really I would have to call Mackie in if you want Captain America." Chris said and I laughed.

"Okay fine I have Buzz Lightyear with me." I said and Chris laughed again.

"Can't you just have Chris with you?" Chris asked and I looked over at him.

"I can...I like him too. I think he would protect me." I said and Chris huffed a laugh and looked at me.

"You think I would protect you?! Ouch Ro." Chris said and I smiled. I just shrugged.

"Guess you have to prove it Evans." I said and he nodded.

"You got it." Chris said and I sighed looking down at my clothes.

"Can I go change before we start the movie and dinner gets here?" I asked and Chris nodded and got up too.

"I think that sounds like a good idea." Chris said and we went into our rooms. I changed into a pair of short shorts and a tank top, this was normal sleep attire for me. I grabbed a blanket from the bed just for comfort. As I walked out of the room and headed back out to the sitting room there was a knock on the door, and I opened it to see the cart with the food being brought in. Chris was in a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.

"Oh, perfect timing." Chris said and I smiled. He signed for the food and grabbed the tray from the cart and headed over by the tv. We turned off the lights, I covered up and we started eating watching the movie. Halfway through I found myself clutching to Chris's arm and he was smiling.

"Shut up." I said and he laughed.

"Not saying a word." Chris said and I smiled up at him from where I was cuddled into his arm. We both got more comfortable again. He lifted his arm up and I cuddled into his side and placed my head on his chest, and he put his arm around me. I smiled at this then yelled at myself in my head for overthinking what this meant, it meant nothing, he was just caring for me and making sure I felt safe.

Once the movie was over, I went to move but he tightened his grip on me and I smiled then didn't try and move. I picked another movie, only a Disney movie to help calm us both down.

"101 Dalmatians?" Chris asked and I nodded.

"Yep." I said and he smiled.

"Perfect." Chris said as we were watching the movie, I was smiling at all the puppies.

"I want a puppy." I said randomly, Chris chuckled.

"What?" Chris asked. I looked up at him.

"I want a puppy. I don't have anything or anyone Chris, it's only me. Megan has Holly, you have your family and Dodger...I have nothing." I said and Chris sighed.

"Well maybe you can get one once all of this is over." Chris said and I shrugged.

"Maybe..." I said. We finished the movie in silence, but I was smiling, fully content right now.
