Glimpse Of Us

Morning After Pill

Chris goes to talk to Scott as I grab my bag and head out the house and straight for his car, thankfully I never bumped into Scott on the way.

I sit in the passenger seat chewing my lip as Chris climbs into the drivers seat laughing as he does so.

"Scott wasn't too pleased about being woke up last night..." he laughs hitting his hand on his chest.

I sink further down the seat with embarrassment as he pulls out of the driveway towards Downtown.

As we pull up to the pharmacy Chris nudges me and nods to his right - a couple of paparazzi guys were cruising around in a Jeep and spotted us.

I sink further in the seat near enough sitting on the floor as I put my hand in front of my face.

"You must be used to this? Wanna talk about the Elephant in the room?" He asks.

"British press and media are a lot more bruital over there. Yeah, i'm a 'Princess' but not really. I'm not a active member of the royal family anymore, mainly one of the reasons I came here was because I wouldn't be followed everywhere I went. We're just unfortunate the press here cruise around looking for celebrities everyday. Today's their lucky day - they found Captain America" I breath out a laugh and Chris nudges me with a laugh.

"I guess we can't go to this pharmacy and they'll most likely follow us, if you could drop me off home then I can go out later and grab it" I softly smile at him.

"Are you sure? I could drop you off home, go to a pharmacy further away and grab one and then we could have dinner or even go out for dinner?"

"How about I come with you and we have a Carpool Karaoke on the way, you have to sing your heart out. No excuses" I say trying to keep a straight face.

Chris smurks as he locks his fingers with mine and pulls away with one hand on the steering wheel which is was extremely hot - may I add.

I connect my phone to the aux and we both sing our hearts out to everyone from Billie Joel, Abba, Queen, Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran and Lizzo. I joke about how Lizzo is trying to steal Chris from me and he softly smiles at me, melting my heart.

From the night we met I really liked Chris but we were interrupting and anyway - he had a girlfriend at the time. If I ever thought then that he would just up and leave his girlfriend for me, I must of been dreaming. Even then - the long distance wouldn't have worked but i'm so thankful we managed to get in contact again. Instagram is to blame.

I look down at my fingers in his and a wave of sadness floods over me. Chris notices straight away, turning down the music and turning to me.

"Hey, everything ok?" He asks as he rubs his thumb against my fingers.

"Yeah, i'm gonna miss hanging out with you" I sheepishly admit.

"What do you mean?" He asks curiously.

"I'm only allowed to be in the states for 90 days at a time. I go home tomorrow..."

"Oh..." the sadness in Chris voice is evident as we pull up to a pharmacy around an hour from Downtown, nobody will notice me here. He pulls my hand up to his mouth and softly places a kiss on my knuckles instantly soothing my anxiety.

"I won't be a minute" I let go of Chris hand and head inside.

Chris pulls up Google on his phone researching the rules of UK travelers in the States and sure enough - they were only allowed to stay for 90 days at a time.

He sighs.

He just got her in his grasps.
Now she's going home.
