I choose you.

Chapter 5 Bryce

The next morning, Seth doesn't bother coming in to say hi, or apologies, no he just leaves without a simple good morning. I'm really glad he didn't, I don't have the energy to even look at him.

I check the clock and realise it's 1Pm. Holy shit. I get up as fast as possible, I have half an hour to get to my hair appointment. I shower at full speed and dry my hair, get dressed.

I finish getting ready and I rush for the car keys, I meet the babysitter downstairs and I give her the instructions for the day. I rush out side with my hair half done but I have no time to waste.

The car takes a few seconds to turn on and I make my way to the hair dressers as fast as possible. I laugh a little, I feel like James Bond right now. It's takes 14 minutes exactly to make it to my appointment and fortunately I arrive just in time.

The receptionist looks for my name and asks me to follow the man in the black shirt. He gets me to sit down on the chairs by the sinks, I relax as he starts washing my hair.

The washing lasts 10 minutes until he asks me to sit on the other chairs so that he can start with my hair.

I wait for him 5 minutes, in the mean time I check ,y phone after hearing buzz several times.

They were texts from my dad.

I'll be there at 4 Bryce. Be ready xx

I reply his text and tell him that I will and that he doesn't have to worry about Seth because he isn't coming.

I married Seth at a very young age and we've already had two children, we've been together 15 years doesn't he understand that it's time for him to play his role as a husband?

The stylist asks me how I would like my hair and I tell him that if he could straighten it.

I get back home around 3 o'clock after eating lunch, which gives me about enough time to get dressed and do my makeup.

I bought a blue navy dress that has the front slightly open and the length goes from short to long.

By the time I finish putting my dress on its 3:10 and brush my teeth and apply my smoky red lipstick. Next I Luton my concealer and then my eye shadow, I chose a bluish-black colour eye shadow to go with what I'm wearing. Next I put very little blush on but enough to give me some colour.

There is a ring at the door, I hear the kids run downstairs. I put my heels on and struggle to get up. I pick up my purse and walk downstairs, at the bottom of the stairs are the kids who are playing with my father, I giggle because my father catches sight of me and that's when Theo  jumped on his back making him fall on the couch.

"Theo leave grandad alone." I tell him leaving him laughing. My dad grabs my hand when I reach the bottom of the staircase.

I kiss good bye my kids and tell them to have fun but to go to bed early and to listen to marianne.

I slip into the car and my dad signals the driver to start the car.

My dad gets in next to me and smiles at me.

On the way to the party I check through my bag to make sure I have my phone, my dad tells me that the party this year is going to be great.

"You look amazing!" My dad tells me.

"Thank you dad, I just wish Seth could've come." I tell him.

Few minutes later we arrive outside a white building surrounded my people and a red carpeted entrance. My dad gets out as soon as the driver parks the car, my dad opens the door and helps me out. I thank the driver and my dad. We make our way to the entrance and the paparazzi take pictures. When we enter , it's a huge hall with white, red , and gold strips of cloth hanging from the ceiling, there is live music.

I feel overwhelmed by the decorations, I don't see where I was going and I bump into someone, spilling their drink all over me and... Him.

"I'm so sorry" we both say as we both bend down to pick up the glass.

When I get back up our eyes meet, green eyes, brown hair and black suit.

" Hi, uh, sorry about that, that was my fault." He apologises.

" no, sorry , that was completely me." I say

"I'm Chris." He says

" oh, I'm Bryce!"

" it's really nice to meet you, Bryce!" He says

"The pleasure is all mine Chris?" I ask him to help finish my sentence.

"Chris Pratt!" He tells me.

" nice to meet you Chris Pratt." I say trying my hardest to hide the excitement behind my voice .

just then my dad walks towards us and interrupts.

" Mr Pratt, nice to see you again!" My dad exclaims greeting Chris.

"Mr Howard, I didn't know that you were going to come!" He says

" I see that you met my lovely daughter, Bryce!" They both look at me and I smile. Chris is surprised to hear that and looks me up and Down. Chris pratt is much more handsome in person.

My dad interrupts my thoughts.

"Let me take a picture of you two." I laugh and get in for the picture. Chris puts his arm around me and I feel chills up my body. As soon as my dad finishes making his parental memory Chris lets go as says..

"Why, why don't you guys come sit with my wife and me." I nod and follow him to his table.
