Take It All Away

Chapter 21

Henry arrived at NYC, unfortunately I was in class when he landed so we couldn't meet. I had to run that afternoon to find a designer dress for the premiere the day after. The girls freaked out when I told them that Henry Cavill was one of my childhood friends, so they offered to go with me to find the dress.

"You're full of surprises Anna, I mean, Henry, really?" Chloe was still impressed.

I found a gorgeous black mermaid dress from Pierre Cardin, it was perfect for the gala and I looked beyond beautiful on it. Too bad Chris was too far to see it.

Kate drove Sarah and I home, and when I entered my building I got a text.

Henry: Ready for tomorrow? I'll pick you up at 6.

To Henry: I was born ready ;). Looking forward to it.

I took West for a little walk before get back home to do a bit of household and homeworks. I was in Central Park watching West run and play with other dogs while I was listening to music. Suddenly the music stopped and Chris' face popped on the screen. My heart ran faster, we hadn't talked much lately, he was ultra busy filming and I was missing him as hell.

"Chriiiiss, hii!" I exclaimed very excited.

"How is the most beautiful girl?" He asked tenderly.

I smiled. "I'm fine baby, what about you?"

"I'm too," he answered. "I missed your voice so much, Anna, I wanna see you!"

I felt a chest pain, having him so far away made me sick. "I'm going crazy without you, I can't wait to have you here."

Chris chuckled. "That's why I'm calling you baby girl, I'm gonna visit you the next weekend, just two days but that's better than nothing!"

"What?" I squeaked. "Chris oh my God, that's the best thing I've heard today!"

"Your voice is the best thing I've heard today!" I could feel him smiling. "Can you pick me up on Saturday around 8am?"

"I'll be there big boy, can't wait! I love you."

"I love you even more, never forget that!" Chris said before hang up.

My day finished better than I expected, talking with Chris gave me enough battery to keep going with all the stuff I had to take care of, and to keep breathing without him. Cheesy, I know.

'The Man From U.N.C.L.E' premiere arrived, Henry picked me up in his limo at the time he told me he would be there. He was wearing a tux that fitted him perfectly, he smelled damn good, his blue eyes were sparkling more than ever, his mouth wide open and his feet moving desperately.

"Someone looks excited!" I smirked at him trying to ignore his gaze. "Or should I say nervous?"

He smiled shyly. "Nervous as fuck, thanks."

I felt a bit bad for that comment. "And handsome too, by the way." Okay, problem fixed.

His smile widened. "And you look even more beautiful than you normally are, you know that," he said caressing my hand. "Thanks for coming with me, it feels so good to have someone like you around."

I made a few jokes to make him feel less stressed. Fortunately it worked. We got to the theatre, I was the one who was nervous then. Henry gave me a reassuring look before got off the car. Flashes everywhere blinding my sight, crowd cheering and waving at Henry, and of course, paparazzis asking the question I feared the most.

"Are you okay?" Henry asked getting closer.

"I am, enjoy yourself!" I grinned as a photographer called us to take the photo.
