On Sunday I was walking with Bruno into the park Chris suggested and I smiled walking up seeing Chris already setting up the blanket. I was in a pair of blue jeans shorts that hit mid thigh and a light blue tank top. My hair was in a ponytail and I was in flip flops and sunglasses. Chris was in a pair of black shorts and red t-shirt with his baseball cap on but backwards. I groaned walking up to him, why did the cap have to be backwards...

Bruno saw who was there was started pulling me to Chris. I finally chuckled and let go of the leash. Bruno started barking as he ran to Chris. Chris looked up and smiled.

"Bruno!" Chris yelled excited as Bruno reached Chris and jumped up on him, I was surprised Chris held his stance and didn't fall.

"And his owner." I said walking up and a Chris laughed. He walked over to me giving me a hug.

"I'm so happy you both came. I even got a treat for Bruno. I hope it's okay?" Chris asked and I nodded.

Bruno laid beside Chris as we sat down on the blanket and Chris gave him the rawhide bone and Bruno quickly started chewing on it.

"So what food did Ma cook for us?" I asked trying to peek in the basket and Chris feigned being hurt.

"That hurts, you think I didn't cook the food..." Chris said. I just looked at him with an eyebrow raised and he laughed.

"Okay fine, but Ma didn't cook it. I picked us up some of those subs we like from that Deli near my place." Chris said and I got excited.

"Oh man! I love that place!" I exclaimed as Chris handed me my sub. I unwrapped it and we both quickly started eating. "So, did you hang your painting yet?" I asked and Chris chuckled.

"Ma has, she fell in love with it and took it." Chris said and I smiled at him. "What about you? Hang yours?"

I hadn't yet but I couldn't tell him why in risk of him asking questions that I wasn't ready to answer.

"Still thinking about a place for it." I smiled.

"I'm sure wherever you put it will be amazing." Chris said after he swallowed the bite of sub he took.

We ate in silence and I watched couples walk by holding hands, kissing, being adorable and it killed me because that's how it should have been with the man sitting next to me.

"Oh Megan wanted me to talk to you..." Chris started off saying and I groaned. Megan, she was his manager and took care of all his PR things.

"What about?" I asked.

"Well it seems like we were spotted at the paint thing the other day and people are floating the pictures around the internet..." Chris trailed off and I sighed.

"Well I figured it was a chance." I said and Chris nodded.

"Yeah, are you okay?" Chris asked as I took a bite of my sub and just shrugged.

"It was going to happen Chris. I'm okay if you are." I said and he nodded.

"Yeah, it's fine." Chris said and I placed a hand of mine over his that was on the blanket instinctively.

"Hey, if this is a problem, us being seeing together..." I trailed off. Chris gently moved his hand from under mine.

"No, it's just...it's stupid really." Chris said.

"Come on, tell me." I said with a small smile.

"It's just I got another chance with you and I don't want anything to ruin it." Chris said and I shook my head

"Hey, I don't care about pictures getting out or people even writing about us. Right now it's just us Chris, me and you." I said and he smiled.

"Good." Chris said as we both continued eating.
