I watched as Chris left the set.

I almost went crazy. What did he want to talk about?

Almost everyone had left the set as I finally finished up.

I decided to walk to the Café. The fresh air would do me good. I was so nervous, my legs felt all wobbly.

I walked through the door and immediately spotted Chris sitting in the corner.

I slowly walked to him.

"Hey." He said so softly, it almost made me weak in my knees.

"Hi." I greeted, trying to sound as professional as possible, as I sat down across him.

"So, what's there to talk about?" I said harsher than I intended.

Chris looked taken aback by my harsh tone.

"It shouldn't have happened. You're married." I said, talking quietly.

"Let us just forget about it, and never talk about it again." I said before I got up from my chair.

"Hey! Wait!" Chris said as he grabbed my wrist, making me turn back to him.

"Please, sit down." He said pleadingly.

I sighed and sat back down.

Chris took a deep breath before he began to talk.

"Anna and I filed for divorce last month." Chris said in a serious tone.

"No, what? I'm so sorry." I exclaimed.

"Or? Well, I'm not quite sure how to answer to that." I said confused, making Chris chuckle.

"Listen. I really like you, Melissa." He said looking intensely at me.
My heart skipped a beat by his words.

I looked questioningly at him.

"Would you go out with me?" He asked, almost nervously.

I looked at him, like I was thinking about it, just to see the look on his face.

"Okay." I finally answered, smiling.

A huge smile crept onto his face.

"Pick me up at this address, at 8." I said as I wrote down the address to my hotel. I flashed a huge smirk as I handed him the note, and walked away.

I almost wanted to scream from excitement, as I finally hit the street.

I couldn't believe this happened. I was going on a date with my favorite actor.

Even though we did everything in a different order, I was so excited and happy.

Suddenly my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I quickly reached for it and read the text.

Can't wait for tonight.
I'll pick up in my own car. Look for a black SUV.
- Chris.

I couldn't help but smile. I wrote down my number on the note I gave to him.

I hurried home to take a shower and change into a simple black dress.
I curled my long hair and applied new make up.

I checked myself in the mirror, one last time, before I walked down and waited in the lobby.

I only waited for a few moments, before a black SUV with tinted windows pulled up on the street in front of the hotel.

I hurried outside and slowly opened the car door, revealing a smiling Chris at the driver's seat.

His expression quickly changed.

"Wow. You look amazing." He said, staring at me in awe.

"Don't look at me, like you've seen me naked." I said smirking, as I jumped into the car.
