Alexa and Chris spent another hour or so sitting together at the island, finishing their ceviche tacos and beers before they cleaned up, put away the left overs and migrated towards the living room.
They sat together on the couch, much to Alexa's surprise, curled into one another. Alexa sat with her legs up on the couch in what her kindergarten teacher oh so long ago had always called a 'mermaid sit'. While Chris sat with his feet on the floor, legs spread out enough to be comfortable, his arm over Alexa's shoulder pulling her in close.
Chris had his phone out and they were scrolling through his Instagram, flipping through the reels and stories that showed up. As his thumb slipped up the screen, pushing the posts along, Alexa hit the realization again that, holy shit, Chris is famous.
She constantly forgot about his job when they were together. It was so easy to forget that he was a celebrity when they were laughing about something stupid together, which, she was happy to say is 90% of the time.
Alexa was quickly drawn from her thoughts when Chris' screen went black and the name Megan popped up, his phone ringing in his hand.
Chris tossed his head back into the cushions and sighed, "Sorry. Gimme a minute."
He tapped accept on the screen and put the phone to his ear, "Yes, ma'am?...Yeah I was there today, why?...Well, buying a case of beer isn't a crime, so I'm not sure why it was exciting...yeah...I know...sorry, I'll stop being a sarcastic dick. No, I'm 99% sure I didn't get followed out of there...yeah. Okay. Thanks Megan. Mhm buh-bye."
"Who was that?" Alexa asked after he hung up. Wow, couldn't have been any smoother about that, you idiot. Ugh. Plus it's not your business, god.
"Megan, my manager," Chris said as he tapped a few times at his phone.
Megan is his manager. She's his manager. His managerrrrr. Oh my godddd. Alexa's butterflies came roaring back full speed when the realization hit. Relief and embarrassment equally flushed through her all at once.
"She was letting me know some paparazzi were taking pictures outside of Los Mariscos. Like it's illegal to buy a case of beer or something." Chris said as he rolled his eyes. His phone vibrated in his hand with a text from Megan containing a link.
He clicked it and it opened to TMZ.
