The Assistant (Chris Pratt Love story)

Chapter 2

♡

After many hours of work the set was almost empty. Most of the team went home. I was exhausted and my feet were killing me, after a whole day running around in 4 inch heels.

I was running around, checking that everything was ready for the next day. I scribbled down some notes and was about to pack up, as I felt someone approaching me from behind.

As I turned around, I was met by a pair of piercing green eyes. I swear my heart could have jumped out of my chest.

"Oh, Hello Mr. Pratt." I said surprised, making him raise his eyebrow.

"Chris." I corrected, looking down in embarrassment.

"Can I help you with something?" I asked looking up at him. My heart skipped another beat as our eyes met.

"Do you want to go and get a drink, with me and the rest of the cast? We're celebrating the first day of filming." He asked, giving me a warm smile.

"Yeah, sure." I answered a bit surprised.

"I'll just grab my things." I said before I walked off.

My heart pounded like crazy. I was going to meet and talk with the other cast members.

I grabbed my things and walked back to Chris.

"Are you ready?" He asked smiling.

"Yeah. Let's go." I answered.

We walked outside and got a cab.

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously.

"Just a local bar. The others are going to meet us there." Chris answered. I nodded in understanding.

"So, how old are you Melissa?" He asked, just making some small talk.

"I'm 25." I answered, just before the cab came to a stop.

Chris quickly got out of the car and hurried to my side and offered me his hand.

"Thank you." I said as he helped me out of the car.

It seemed like he sensed, that I was nervous.

"Hey, you'll be fine. They'll love you." He said, smiling reassuringly.

I gave him a thankful smile.

He gently led me inside the bar. His eyes scanned the crowd, until he spotted the group sitting around a table in the corner.

"Come on." He said, before he grabbed me by my wrist and dragged me through the crowd.

"Hey!" The whole group greeted as they noticed us walking towards their table.

I politely shook everyone's hands before I sat down, next to Chris. Almost everyone was there; Amy, Nick, Aubrey, Rashida, Aziz, Retta, Adam and Rob.

It was pretty crowded, so I had to sit really close to Chris.

"Thanks for taking so good care of us today." Amy said smiling. It didn't seem like her real personality was so different from the one of her character. She seemed positive and kind.

"Let's have a round of tequila." Rashida said, raising her empty glass.

"Tequila!" Everyone shouted excitedly

About half an hour later we were drowning shots of tequila. Chris laughed as I bit into the piece of lemon and made a grimace.

"Hey, don't make fun of me." I slurred as I playfully hit his shoulder, making him chuckle.
