I see the big buildings of Omaha not too far. When we arrive its still daylight out, we check into our hotel. We stay at the Hilton Inn that's connected to the newish convention center, Century Link. We get to our room and get settled in. "If that wasn't a long drive." He says sarcastically. "It was alright I guess. The drive to Omaha is always good to me." I reply. "Why is that?" He asks. "It's the only big city I get to go to every few months or so?" I say. "Whaaat?" He says sounding surprised. "Are you serious? Here I am going to all these cities every other week. Why do you only come every few months? Why don't you check out another city?" He asks. "Well because I'm currently living paycheck to paycheck and when I save up enough I come here because its close to home and it just never seems to get old for me." I tell him. "Ohh well that makes sense." He says. "I actually can't wait to take you somewhere different." He laughs.
"No, I mean you don't have to take me anywhere, I'm not looking for sympathy or anything." I tell him. "I know, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry if I offended you. I just meant like we're together now and traveling is a part of my lifestyle. My career. I don't want to not be able see you. I want you to come see me at some of my appearances and when I'm on set." He says. I look up at him and smile, realising how tall he is compared to me. He pulls me close and gives me a kiss. "What are your favorite places to go here?" He asks. "I'll show you." I smile.
We pull up to the Bob Kerrey pedestrian bridge. "Wow this is nice." He says as he's getting out of the car. "I always come here but I could never get myself to walk across." I say.
"Scared of heights?" He asks as he looks at me funny.
"Fucking terrified." I admit.
He gives me a look and calls his security over and tells him something in his ear. The security guard nods. Chris walks up to me casually with the funniest look ever on his face then all of a sudden he picks me up and starts running across the bridge.
"Ahh!! No, Chris stop!!" I scream. He comes to a sudden stop in the middle of the bridge. "Here we are," he says, "What are you gonna do now? We're already half way across."
I begin to hyperventilate. I notice the security were behind us the whole time. I'm trying to keep myself from looking down at the fast moving river underneath us. "Hey, its gonna be OK." He says trying to reassure me. "Come on. You can do it." He grabs my hand and we begin walking across. We're almost to the other side and I'm thinking "holy fuck I'm doing it." We get to the other side. "See," he says, "that wasn't so bad was it?"
I look at him with a pissed off blank stare. He laughs "Awwh, she's mad." He says jokingly. "You're an ass." I laugh. "You ready to go back across?" He asks. "Or do I have to carry you across again, because I will." He says playfully.
"No I think I can do it." I reply.
"Yesss!" He yells and claps his hands
We start walking. We notice there are alot of people on the bridge. "Star lord!!" We look and a bunch of teenagers are walking up to us. Security stops them before they could get any closer. "Hey" Chris waves at them. "No way! Can we take a picture?" They ask. "Yea sure" Chris replies. Security allows them to approach Chris. I stand by as they take a picture. Chris stands in the middle as they all get their pictures with him. "Cool thanks! Nice seeing you bro!" One of them says as they give him a bro shake (bro handshake.). "You liking Omaha?" Another asks. "Yea, sure, man its pretty cool!" He replies. "Awesome man, it was really nice seeing you." One says as they all agree. "Yea it was nice meeting you all." Chris says as we begin walking away. "Thanks for the pic bro!" They yell. "Yea no problem!" He yells back. "Star loooord!!!" They all say as they continue walking. Chris chuckles. "Well that was... Weird." He jokes. I laugh. "You okay?" He asks. "Yea I'm fine." I reply. We continue walking, as we're walking we hear people talking, mumbling "Is that Chris Pratt?" Someone else says "Wait..? Starlord?" I couldn't help but laugh a little about how confused this person was. We almost get across and we hear some girl yell "I love you Chris Pratt!" He looks "I love you too!" He yells back and waves. We're almost to the car and people continue to smile and say "Hi" to Chris. Security opens the car door for us. "Wow I kinda like it here." He says. "Ha. Your fan base is a little bigger here huh?" I say. "Yea I didn't think anyone would notice me here either, actually." He replies. "I like how you handled it. All calm and polite." I say. "Yea I love my fans. I enjoy meeting them." He says. "Cool.. What a way to be." I say playfully nudging him on the shoulder. "Thanks. Sooo what else did you have in mind?" He asks. "Uhm I have one more spot I want to go to before it gets too late." I reply.
We drive to Central Park in downtown Omaha. Central Park is a nice place to go for a stroll during the day & at night. It has two huge slides, that are actually pretty fun. There's usually always a line to go down them during the day time. There's a man made pond that cuts off into a creek leading to the river, there's two different little bridges to walk across. There's usually ducks in the park waiting for people to feed them bread and snacks. If you follow the sidewalk in the park long enough it leads to the riverfront where there is a waterfall type thing leading from the creek into the river, as you continue to walk there are 3 big fountains in the middle of the river that spray water out, kinda like the one in Las Vegas except it's on the river. It's nice to walk in the park at night because of the beautiful lighting. We park and get off the car. "This is the place?" He asks. "Yea its kinda better to come during the day, there's usually a lot of people though." I say. "What there's slides?!" He says playfully. "Yea you need like a cardboard box or wax paper in order to go down fast enough." I tell him. "No way look!" He says excitedly as he walks up to the slides. He finds two pieces of card board laying by the slides. "You down?" He asks playfully. "Mmm...? Sure." I reply hesitantly. "Come on it'll be fun" he says as he hands me a piece of cardboard. I grab it and we walk up to the slide. I place the cardboard under me and all of a sudden Chris scoots me up and gets behind me. "Chris no!" I yell. He laughs and pushes off his hands, we're going down the slide. Fast. I put my feet down to stop myself as we approach the end of the slide, but they don't catch the ground like they're supposed to and I slide on the rocks at the bottom of the slide and fall forward. Chris coming right behind me, he slips too and falls on top of me. I roll over. "Oww!" I say. "Ohh my gosh" he laughs, "are you alright? You okay?" He looks at me concerned. "Yea. What the fuck? I thought you were going on the other slide." I reply. "I'm sorry," he laughs hard. "I didn't think it would be that fast going down."
"Well it was." I say sarcastically. "Get off me you're heavy."
"Psh. All muscle." He jokes flexing his bicep.
"Ugh get off me!" I laugh, trying to push him off.
"Nope!" He says. He looks at me and I look back at him, we kiss.
He stops and says "you know we can do a quickie right here if you want."
"Ha. Shuttup. Get off." I push him.
He gets up and helps me up.
