Flower Girl. (Chris Evans)

Chapter 55

CHRIS.

I've been in South Africa for a couple of weeks now, even though I do love the script, and this is character is a challenge for me I'm not entirely sure it's worth being so far away from Flor, communication is tricky between our different time zones and my schedule but we're making it work although lately she's been weird, nervous and whenever I say something she starts to talk about Dodger so I did the only thing I could without raising much suspicion, I called Lu and ask her to go out with Flor to chat and see if everything is okay, I don't want to overstep and maybe is just the distance but I much rather be safe than sorry, so tomorrow they'll go out, and the day after I guess I'll know what's going on.

That's until my PA comes closer in between scenes "we need to talk." I frown and follow him, he's more than just an employee, he's truly one of my best friends so I know this must be important for him to be so serious, we get into my trailer, and he sits so I do the same "have you talked to Flor?"

I freeze "why? what happened? is she okay?"

He sighs "yes, she's okay, it's just..."

"What?" He takes his phone out, unlocks it and then he gives it to me, I look at it, and it's an article about Flor "Is Chris Evans' fiancée cheating on him?", there's a few pictures of her and a guy from different days, they're not that close, I don't know that guy, I didn't even know she had been out that many times, and it's not like she need my permission or anything but we've talked every day, for fuck's sake there's even a picture of them walking Dodger together, that's why she've been weird? I know she's not cheating, but there's something I don't know. "Call my team, I want all of it down, I don't want bad press on her."

"Chris...It's already bad, okay? Paps are literally camping outside your house right now, you need to talk to her, she needs to get out discreetly."

I sigh "she didn't want this, that's exactly why we kept the news of our wedding and everything went downhill."

"Yeah, I get that, but this is gonna get messier if you don't give a statement."

"What statement can I give? I don't know who he is."

He frowns "Do you think she's cheating on you?"

"I know she isn't."

"Great because I would've beat you to realize that girl loves you." I laugh loudly and he just chuckles before continue talking "Then do it for her, just say that he's a family friend, or make up something, but you need to set things clear for everything to die down so she can be free again." I open my mouth to say something "no Christhopher, you can't leave the shooting to go back home."

I chuckle "fair enough, can you make the statement? I'll approve whatever, I just want to get her on the phone."

"Sure, I'll go ask the director to let you off for the rest of the day." He takes his phone before walking out of my trailer, I take a deep breath before grabbing a drink and taking my phone to call her.

*FACETIME*

"I promise I'm not cheating on you."

I laugh "I know baby." I keep quiet just looking at her and she starts to cry "no, love, everything's okay."

"No, it's not, I fucked up."
