Chapter #14   
A few days later, back in LA

Louri’s POV
We are back in LA, oh how I missed the warm weather. Don’t get me wrong, I love New York, but ever since Scarlett and I decided to make our permanent home here in LA, it has become my favorite. I am sitting in my home office going through some work emails when my phone starts ringing. I pick it up seeing it’s RDJ calling. “Hey Robert, to what do I owe the pleasure of you calling?” I ask. “Hey Louri, I wanted to invite you over to my house to play some basketball with the guys,” he says. “Oh that sounds like fun, who’s all going?” I ask. “Your brother, Holland, Hemsworth, Hiddleston, Seb and Mackie,” He says. “Let me go check with Scarlett to see if we have anything planned for the afternoon,” I say. “Whipped,” he says. “For my wife, totally” I say to him, making him laugh. I walk out of my office and call out for Scarlett. “In the kitchen” she replies. I walk downstairs and see her sitting at the island typing on her laptop, her hair pulled back in a ponytail and wearing her glasses. Damn, does this woman ever not look like a goddess? I think to myself. “What’s up honey?” She asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. “Oh, RDJ is on the phone, he wants to know if I want to come by and play basketball with him and the guys, I told him I’d run it by you to see if we have anything going on,” I tell her. “No, we don't have anything going on. That sounds like fun, have a good time and if you need me to pick you up later let me know,”’she says. “Sounds good, hey Robert we don’t have anything going on so I can come by” I tell him. “Great! Be here around 1,” he says and we hang up. “Who’s all going?” Scarlett asks. “My brother, Holland, Hemsworth, Hiddleston, Seb and Mackie.” I tell her. “Oh boy, the troublemakers,” she says, making me laugh. “Least we will be at RDJ’s, so hopefully nothing too crazy will come up,” I tell her, giving her a kiss and walking over to grab a bottle of water from the fridge. “That’s true, I hope you have fun, I know how much you used to love playing basketball,” she says. “Thanks me too”
I say and drink some of the water.

Chris Evans POV
I am on my way to pick up my sister to go over to RDJ’s to play basketball. I am happy she is coming because we used to play basketball growing up. I get to their house and I ring the doorbell, a few seconds later Louri answers the door. “Hey Chris, come on in,” she says, giving me a side hug as I walk in. “Hey, are you ready to go?” I ask. “Yeah, let me just grab my phone and keys and let Scarlett know I’m leaving,” she says walking into the kitchen. “Hey babe, Chris is here and we are going to head over to Robert’s” I hear her say. “Ok, have fun you guys,” I hear Scarlett say back. Louri walks back over to me with her phone and keys in hand and we walk out the front door to leave. We get into my car and head out to Robert’s. “Are you excited to play basketball again?” I ask her while keeping my eyes on the road. “Yeah, I miss playing basketball sometimes,” she says.
We pull up to Robert’s house and park in his driveway. We see that Hemsworth and Holland have already arrived as their cars are parked in the driveway as well. We get out of the car and walk to the door and ring the doorbell. Robert answers the door and welcomes us in. “Glad you both could make it,” he says. “Thanks for having us,” Louri says, giving him a hug as I follow suit. “Of course, it’s going to be a great time. Holland and Hemsworth are already here, they’re in the kitchen,” he says. We both walk into the kitchen and greet Tom and Chris. “Good to see you, Louri,” Tom says. “You too,” she replies. We sit down at the island and start talking amongst ourselves while waiting for the others to arrive.
After about 15 minutes, everybody has arrived and we head down to Robert’s gym.

Louri’s POV
“Jeez Downey, you have a full on basketball court in your house?” I ask him while stepping onto the court. “Yes, only the best of the best. Alright Louri and I will be team captains, so Louri please choose first,” he says. “Alright I’ll take Spider Boy,” I say. “Over your own brother?” Chris says as I just shrug my shoulders. “I’ll take Hemsworth,” Robert says. “I’ll take Mackie,” as Chris groans, making me chuckle. “Hiddleston” Robert says. “Hmmmm,” I say as Chris points to himself. “I’ll take Sebastian,” I say as Chris’s mouth drops. “You didn’t pick me?” He asks. “Oh come on Chrissy, it’s just a fun game. Plus we were always on the same team growing up, now it’s time to find out which Evans sibling is better,” I say with a smirk on my face. “Oh it’s on,” he says as he walks to Downey’s side. “How about we make this game a little interesting?” Robert asks. “What do you got in mind?” I ask. “Losing team has to wear pink tutus and buy the winning team dinner.” He says. “Deal,” I reply, shaking his hand. We separate and go to our teams to huddle up. “Ok guys I know they have height advantage but we won’t let that get to us. Make sure you calculate your moves and that we communicate with each other. Spider boy I want you as point guard, Mackie I want you as shooting guard, Seb you will be power forward and I will be center as I am the tallest and can rebound better,” I say making them all agree. We walk to center court for tip off and I go against my brother. “Chrissy,” I say. “Lor,” he replies, glaring at me. Robert tosses the ball up and we jump and i'm able to tip it back to Holland. He quickly dribbles the ball up the court as we all run to assist with blocking and getting open. Chris is attempting to block me but I fake him out and get open as Holland throws the ball to me and I take the shot making it in, throwing my hands in the air. Hemsworth grabs the ball and throws it in and Hiddleston catches it making his way down court.

After some time the score is close, my team is up by 4 and there’s 2 minutes on the clock. I’m currently dribbling the ball trying to get the clock to come down a bit. I pass it over to Mackie but it’s blocked by my brother who quickly dribbles and makes a shot gaining them two points. Seb grabs the ball and throws it in and Mackie catches it and runs down the court and makes a 3 pointer. The buzzer goes off and we all cheer, making my brother shake his head. “Good game guys, can’t wait for you to wear your tutus,” I say. We all give each other high fives for sportsmanship. We decide that we want to have the winning dinner with our wives and friends so that they can see them all in tutus as well. I grab my phone and text Scarlett to let her know and she immediately agrees on dinner as she wants to see them in tutus.

A/N: hey everybody Chris here, I know it’s a random chapter but hope you all still like it. See you all in the next one
