"So, what do you want to do tonight?" My best friend Chris asked as I got to his house after he came out to help me get the bags from my car.

"Well, being here and you finally home from being a movie star I figured maybe a swim, burgers on the grill then a movie." I said and Chris smiled.

"Sounds like an amazing night. We could cook, watch a movie and then swim under the stars." Chris said and I smiled with a nod.

"Sounds perfect, as long as we finally get to hang out, I don't care." I said and Chris put his arm around my shoulder.

"You could have come to the premiere you know." Chris said and I sighed.

"I know but I just figured I would stay here, watch Dodger and hold down the fort." I said and he smiled.

"Well, I missed you for sure." Chris said and he kissed my cheek.

I felt my heart flutter when he kissed my cheek like it always did but I held it in. Chris and I had been best friends since I was 15 and he was 18. I was in a play with his brother and Chris came to see. Scott introduced me to Chris and our friendship clicked from there. Now I'm 38 and Chris is 41 and our friendship has never changed.

Even when I got married a few years ago Chris was my man of honor. I just recently divorced and Chris had been so worried about me being alone and without someone. He knew I could make it on my own, but he didn't like that fact that I had to so whenever he was in town we were always together. He had just gotten back into town from his Lightyear press tour, and he had a little bit of downtime until the next round of premieres for his movie The Grey Man.

"You should come with me to London for The Grey Man premiere." Chris said and smiled at me.

"Oh I should, should I?" I said sarcastically.

"Yes, you should. You never go with me anywhere and I think you would really enjoy going with me." Chris said and I sighed.

"Can I think about it?" I asked and Chris nodded.

"Yeah..." Chris said. "I'm going to go start the grill, you want to make the hamburger patties?" Chris asked and I nodded as he walked outside. I pulled my phone from my pocket.

SHELBY: I don't think I can do this.

PIPER: Come on Shel, you have been talking about this the whole time he was gone.

SHELBY: Right, but now that I'm here, I don't want to ruin what Chris and I have. He is an awesome friend, and this can ruin everything.

PIPER: Or you could bring out his feelings for you that we all know are buried deep down inside. Just find the perfect opportunity and go for it.

SHELBY: You're a bad influence.

PIPER: But you love me.

I sighed and put my phone away. I started seasoning the meat and making the hamburgers. I looked at Chris and sighed. I just needed to go for it, but the fear and nerves were there. Once I was finished, I walked out to the grill and handed the stuff to Chris.

"Thanks." Chris said and I smiled. I went to head back into the house and he grabbed my hand.

"You okay?" Chris asked concerned.

"Yeah...why?" I asked.

"Just since I asked you to come to the premiere with me you have seemed off and I don't want to force you into something. I would just like it if you would come...as a friend." Chris said and I felt like I got gut punched...friend...right...we were only friends. He was rubbing his thumb over my knuckles, and I felt my heart catch.

"I know Chris and I will think about it, I promise." I said and he nodded. I walked back into the house and grabbed us both a beer and just went to relax while he cooked.

As Chris and I ate we watched a movie. As we were watching he laid down and put his head in my lap and I looked down at him.

"Can I help you?" I asked and he smiled at me.

"Massage my head like you always do please?" Chris asked and I sighed but started to run my fingers through his hair and gently scratching and massaging. We continued to watch the movie and then but the time we were done with the movie Chris jumped up and pulled me up with him.

"Time to go swimming!" Chris said and I laughed as we both went to get changed. I looked at myself in the mirror once I was changed into my white bikini and sighed.

"This is it Shel, you have to do it soon. Don't lose your nerve." I said pumping myself up. I heard Chris leave his room, so I left the spare room. He walked out in just his swim trunks and saw me.

"Shel...you look...is that new?" Chris asked and I shrugged.

"Bought it a little bit ago, never wore it." I said and Chris smiled. He took my hand, and we headed outside to the pool as Dodger followed us out and laid by the pool. Chris got in and I smiled at him.

"Don't do it Shel!" Chris said and I smiled.

"'Cannonball!" I screamed and ran to the pool jumping in. When I came up Chris was laughed shaking his head.

"You are evil." Chris said and I smiled.

I swam up behind Chris and wrapped my arms around his neck and he smiled as I held on.

"Comfy?" Chris asked and I nodded.

"Yep." I said and he laughed. He just looked up at the stars and sighed.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"You ever wish for something but scared if it comes true what could happen?" Chris asked and I looked at him oddly letting go of his back and he turned to face me.

"Are you okay?" I asked and placed a hand on his cheek, and he sighed but nodded.

"Yeah, just got philosophical for a second." Chris said and I laughed removing my hand. We swam for a little bit and then he smiled at me.

"You want to go get in the hot tub?" Chris asked and I nodded as we got out of the pool and headed to the hot tub. Chris turned on the jets and we got in. I was sitting across from him in the hot tub and I saw him relaxing against his side, arms up on the side and his head back.

-DO IT SHELBY!- My head was screaming at me. I took a deep breath and moved over to be in front of Chris. He looked up at me and I sighed.

"Shel?" Chris asked and I just slightly shook my head, leaned in and kissed Chris. A small peck, I wasn't sure how far to take it. Once I pulled away Chris just looked at me and I knew I screwed up.

Chris didn't say anything else, pulled me into his lap and passionately kissed me. I moaned as his tongue skimmed my lip seam and I allowed him entrance. This seemed so natural for the 2 of us. Once we broke apart, I look at Chris catching my breath.

"I have been figuring out how to kiss you all night." Chris said and I looked at him in shock.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes really." Chris said.

"Well, that's what I have been thinking about the whole time I was here." I said and Chris leaned in and kissed me again.

We sat making out for a few more minutes and when we broke apart Chris put his forehead on mine.

"So, I think it's safe to say you will go to The Grey Man premiere with me now, as my girlfriend?" Chris asked and I giggled.

"I think that would be a safe bet." I said and Chris smiled as he pulled me close to him in his lap and just held me in his arm. This is where I was meant to end up, all I needed to do was kiss this man.
