Flower Girl. (Chris Evans)

Chapter 64

CHRIS.

The last 3 weeks were harder since I wanted to get back home, even with me being an actor it was difficult to do my job when I'm so distracted but finally I'm on my way home, Flor has been better at keeping touch but she's also getting busier by the day, working again, having the kids over, and her dates with the girls, Susan or even Rob. She's also better at being out by herself, we're not claiming victory yet but she's much better and all of that makes me realize how little she needs me but how much she wants me, we talk every day, not all day long, but we summarize our day to the other and we both know everything that has happened in the time we've been apart.

I wanted to surprise her, but at the same time I was just so excited that I'm coming back that I asked her to come pick me up, Josh went back to Boston, so we part our ways at the airport and I'm soon arriving in LA.

Since I travel in a commercial flight, I have to pick up my luggage before getting outside, I was expecting to go the entrance, but I see my wife dressed as a chauffeur and with a board saying, "Mr. C.R. Evans" I laugh shaking my head before walking to her "Good afternoon, sir, your car is waiting for you."

"You're nuts." She laughs before taking her hat off and placing it on my head "do I look hot?"

"The hottest." She says before leaning forward to peek my lips, I know she doesn't want to attract much attention, so I don't make the kiss longer letting her decide when to pull away and it ends much sooner than I expected "let's go, I need to get you home."

"Yeah?" I say wiggling my eyebrows.

"Yes, you have some husband duties to fulfil."

"I knew you married me for my body."

"Your wallet also helps."

"Says the woman who doesn't use the extension I gave her." She shrugs before stilling a peek and starting to walk without waiting for me, so I just follow. "You used the card, didn't you?"

"Maybe..."

I stop walking and pull her around for her to look at me "really?" she nods, and I drop my bag before lifting her up "you used the card."

"Are you crazy? Put me down!"

"No, I begged you to use it since you moved in, and you finally did."

"I don't love it, but it was just some things I ordered for the house."

"I don't care what you use it for, you used it, you're finally using your benefits as my wife."

"I would like to claim other benefits but you're keeping us at the airport." I laugh putting her down "I'm not with you for money, I was just joking."

"Trust me, I know." She rolls her eyes "but I like that you feel comfortable enough to spend our money."

"I'm not having that conversation out in public." I nod before grabbing her face and kissing her as I've wanted to since I saw her, the second we pull away she looks straight into my eyes "but I'm not joking when I say you have some husband duties to fulfill."

"Let's go home." She smiles grabbing my hand and waits for me to pick my bag before going to the car "can I drive?"

"You know it."
