Wilde One (Chris Evans) 18+

16

I do as he says - I walk that carpet knowing that he's watching, I wave to the odd fans who know me - but I keep myself to myself. Today is Taylor's day, and right now Tree is with her, telling her who to take pictures with, how long they have until we need to go in.

"You look awesome". Taylor says when she finally comes over to us all and hugs me. "Is he here?" She asks, looking for any signs of Chris. She told me that I was more than welcome to bring him, but I wasn't about to make her premiere about us.

"No, he's back in Boston, watching the livestream like the little creep that he is". I smirk

"Yeah but a cute one". Taylor laughs and then stands beside me. "I want pictures with the dancers and then some with Harper too". Telling Tree this as well.

We get into a line, Taylor in the middle and me to her side and smile as the media snap away, calling her name, calling us to look at them. Then we have pictures with just the two of us and she looks to me with a smirk. "He doesn't know what he's missing out on, you should've brought hiiiiim". Its almost a whine.

I can't help but laugh as we smile at the camera. "It's not the Chris and Harper show, this is your day - anyway where's Travis?"

"Practice, and also watching the livestream. He sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers to me though". She tells me. "Also...I have a release date for Rep, and I need you to be part of the announcement".

"Thank fuck, you're putting a lot of us out of our misery". I say as we now head inside along with Tree and security. "Whatever you need me to do then I'll do it".

She grins at this, "I need you to be old rep, just like you are currently for 'Look What You Made Me Do' except I'm gonna be letting you out during the song to cause some carnage. Basically, act like a complete bitch with the fans".

"That should be easy enough". I chuckle. "And it's gonna be on the screen behind with the date and stuff?"

"Yep, are you ok with dropping down under the stage when I pretty much scream 'coz she's dead'? It will work, but I don't want you risk hurting yourself if you're not cool with it?"

"Oh I am so for that, we'll go through rehearsals of course to get it right. Is it just for the announcement night?"

She ponders. "I've not decided yet, but we're gonna work on it so we'll figure something out. Personally I want it now as part of the show".

"You'd better have a good crash mat below me then". I chuckle as I grab a drink and tell her that I'll see her in there once she's spoken to all the fans. Taking out my phone, I snap a few pictures with Kam, Natalie and the others, and then text Chris.

Harper: Just about to sit down and watch the movie - missing you ☹ xx

Chris: Missing you more gorgeous, can't wait to get you back and into bed for the rest of your time off 😈

Harper: oh, so just missing my body then, Evans? Don't know if I should be flattered or offended 😏 xx

Chris: you should be worried for sure 😏 There's still a list we need to get through xx

Harper: As soon as this film ends then I'm outta here and rearranging my flight back xx

Chris: Am I in trouble? 😬 xx

Harper: You will be when I get home xx

Home. It's pretty much with him now.

Taylor finally comes in and the film begins. It's hard not to sing and dance, and we end up all dancing in our seats, eventually giving her a standing ovation. It's what she deserves after all.

"Harp? You coming to the party?" Kam asks as we walk out.

I shake my head. "Need to get back to Boston - I've squared it with the boss". I nod to Taylor who is talking to her parents and brother. "See you back on the stage", giving him a hug.

A car takes me back to the hotel and once I'm in my room, I try to call Chris.

His phone is off.

Damn. I wanted to tell him that I'm probably able to get back early tomorrow morning if I rearrange my flight.

"HARPS!"

I scream as someone jumps out of the bathroom, phone to hand - and only then do I realise who it is.

It's him.

"Oh my god!" I squeal on seeing him here in the flesh, but then I burst into tears. I really have missed him, and yeah - I really am pathetic to have this reaction.

He quickly puts his phone away and pulls me in as I sob into his chest. He always smells so damn good as well, it's become familiar. "Hey, damn did I really scare you that bad?" He soothes me by stroking my hair and kissing my head.

I shake it, and look up at him - probably looking more like a member of KISS if my makeup is running. "No. I just missed you a hell of a lot, and then I tried to call you and it said your phone was off..."

"I quickly turned it back on again once I saw you put it away. Had to keep watch through the crack in the door to time my scare perfectly". He laughs and brushes away some tears from my cheeks.

"What are you even doing here?"

"Taylor". He says. "She called me and asked if I was gonna be there, then suggested that I make a little trip to surprise you if not. This was a couple of days ago". He admits.

So once again she was working her magic, and conspiring with Chris.

"Love you Harps, I really do". He tells me as he keeps me locked in his embrace. "And you're not gonna be rearranging that flight tonight. We've got a list to get through, remember?"

Something tells me that I'm not gonna be able to sit properly on the flight home tomorrow.
