The Assistant (Chris Pratt Love story)

Chapter 27

Amy had to go back to filming, so I was left alone with Jack again. I sat down across from him, and helped him build, with LEGO.

"What are you building?" I asked curiously.

"A house for us." He answered smiling, still building.

"Wow. For all of us?" I asked surprised.

"Mmh." He mumbled as an answer.

"You, me and Daddy." He added.

His words made my heart jump in my chest and I felt myself tearing up.

"That's a great house." I quickly added, as I got myself together.

I couldn't believe, that Jack almost saw us as a family.

"Do you love my daddy?" Jack asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I stammered something, while I thought about Jack's question.

"Yeah." I started, as I finally made up my mind.

"Yeah. I do love your daddy." I finally answered. It actually felt good to say it. It felt right.

A warm, happy smile, spread across Jack's face, before he turned his head to the side.

"Daddy!" He yelled happily.
I turned around and saw Chris, standing only a few meters away from us. How long had he been standing there?

I felt the blood rush to my cheeks, so I quickly looked away in embarrassment.

"What are you building there buddy?" Chris asked Jack, as he kneeled down beside us. He only looked at me briefly, before his eyes turned back to Jack.

Damn. I probably just killed it, by saying too much.

"A house for us." Jack answered smiling proudly.

"For you and me?" Chris asked surprised.

"For you, me and Melissa." Jack said a bit frustrated by the fact, that Chris couldn't guess that.

Chris looked really surprised at Jack, before he looked at me, and smiled widely.

We watched Jack play for a while, before Chris turned to me. My heart pounded so hard in my chest, as he looked at me.

"Did you mean, what you said to Jack?" He asked, almost nervously.

"Yes." I said straight away, without a doubt.

He slowly reached over and grabbed a hold of my neck and gently caressed my cheek with his thumb, before he closed the gab between us and placed his lips on mine, in a sweet kiss.

"I love you too." He whispered quietly, while he looked me deep in the eyes.
