*****NORMAL POV*****

I woke up, stretching and feeling the pain in my neck and back from sleeping in the airport all night. I figured storming out of the room and leaving like I did was childish but I couldn't go back after I left. I pulled my phone from my bag and groaned at all the text.

MEGAN: Did you really leave him?!

CHRIS: Ro, come on really?!

CHRIS: I'm sorry Ro, I want to talk about this.

CHRIS: You didn't have to leave.

CHRIS: Let's talk.

I groaned and just put my phone away. I didn't care about answering him. I knew he would be here soon to catch the flight to LA. We had to go to LA so he could finally live his dream of doing a buzzfeed puppy interview as well as some other press. I went and grabbed a cup of coffee, caffeine would be my friend today. Once I got my coffee and a breakfast bagel I walked back to my bags and sat down. I pulled my phone out and filed a number.

"Hey, how is it going?" Aimee asked.

"I may have quit last night." I said.

"What do you mean you may have quit?" Aimee asked.

"Well...Chris was an ass and wanted to go out in London and party for his birthday which Megan didn't want him out causing trouble but he left anyways. Megan got in my ass about letting him leave and Chris told me he was a grown man so...I left the hotel." I explained and Aimee sighed.

"Please tell me you got another hotel room?"

"I slept in the airport." I said.

"Ro..." Aimee trailed off.

"I'm fine." I said.

"Well where is Chris?" Aimee asked. Before I could answer I saw him walking up to me. He didn't looked happy upon seeing me.

"Here, I have to go." I said and didn't get her a chance to answer and just hung up. Chris walked up and sat next to me.

"So you left and then didn't answer my texts." Chris said.

"Did get your text until 20 minutes ago and you left, why couldn't I?" I asked looking at Chris annoyed and he groaned.

"I went to dinner and drinks, you said you were going home." Chris said.

"And I would have but they didn't have any flights out until this afternoon." I said and he sighed.

"Rory..." Chris said and I shook my head. I gave him his plane ticket.

"Listen after the Buzzfeed interview and we get home Megan is going to take back over whether she is ready to or not." I said and Chris just half nodded and looked at the floor.

"I came right back after dinner last night." Chris said speaking up after a few minutes of silence.

"You still went out and got me yelled at by Megan who then criticized my life. I can't do it Chris." I said.

"What did Megan say?" Chris asked and I just shook my head.

"It's not important, I'm just not cut out for this." I said.

"Flight 823 to LAX now boarding first class passengers." The announcement said and I stood up.

"Let's go." I said grabbed my stuff and walking to the gate.

💙💙💙💙💙

Once we arrived in LA we had a day until the puppy interview. The driver took us to Chris's house in LA and I sighed.

"I'm going to get a hotel room." I said and Chris groaned and shook his head.

"You'll stay here. Megan has a room here." Chris said and I got out of the car with a huff and took my bag from the back. Once we got in the house Chris sighed.

"Home sweet LA home." Chris said and I gave a small smile. "Let me show you to Megan's room." Chris said taking my bag. We walked to a guest room and I smiled.

"Thank you." I said and he nodded. He then groaned.

"Can we please Disney movie and dinner tonight? I messed up, I know I did and I want to make it up to you." Chris said and I smiled with a slight head nod.

"Sounds greet but I get to pick again right?" I asked and he nodded.

"Don't you always?" Chris said as we headed back to the living room.

"Hey now, that's not fair!" I said and he laughed.

"Oh come on! When we dated for the short amount of time you always picked the movie." Chris said and I laughed and shrugged.

"My taste in movies is better." I said and Chris laughed. We went into the kitchen to get a drink.

"So I want to ask but don't want to sound like an ass..." Chris asked and I smiled.

"Lightyear was amazing! I loved it." I said and he gave a sigh of relief. He then look at the counter.

"Can I admit something?" Chris asked.

"Of course." I said even though my heart leapt into my throat.

"First I want to apologize for my attitude, it was out of line. I think it all stemmed from you not sitting with me at the premiere." Chris said and I looked at him oddly.

"Chris, I wasn't meant to sit with you. Megan already had informed me I would sit near the back which was fine for me." I said.

"Not for me. I needed you by my side. I was nervous..." Chris said and I knew what he was saying and I could tell he was getting anxious now just telling me. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his midsection and hugged him. He chuckled but wrapped his arms around me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't even think." I said looking up at Chris and he shook his head looking down at me.

"That was why I acted how I did last night. My attitude flipped because of it. I'm so sorry for last night." Chris said and I shook my head.

"It's all forgiven. Let's just go relax." I said and he nodded but didn't let me go. "Chris...?" I asked and he sighed. He finally let me go and we headed into the living room to just watch some tv and relax. As we sat watch tv I felt Chris take my hand and interlace our fingers. I tried not to make a big deal about but I wasn't sure what this meant or where it was going to take us.
