I felt it. There was a spark when he put his hand on mine. It felt weird but good at the same time. I've never felt something like that before, not even with Seth.
I felt my stomach twist when he touched me, I froze and I didn't know how to react. He's so sweet, I can't believe I had the nerve to tell him everything, and I've only known him for about two weeks or so. He listened and he had patience and that is something that I haven't experienced in a while. I feel bad for dropping so much on him, he has a lot on his plate, how could I add more to that? I ended up asleep in his arms. I shouldn't have done that, although it felt so good to feel my problems slip a way for a small amount of time.
I notice that I still have Chris's jacket around my shoulders, I need to return it to him, I completely forgot to hand it back to him. I'll just bring it to the airport on Friday, or I could text him?
I reach over to the passenger seat and into my bag, I search every corner of it. It's not there. Shit. I forgot it in Chris's car when we began to talk and Seth had called. I take a deep breath and just make my way home in the rain. I just can't stop thinking about what he said to me in the car. He said that He has my back before  he put his hand in mine.

When I reach the house, I recognise Seth's car in the garage. He's home and I'm going to have to deal with whatever he has to say. I can't cry, and I can't surrender, I've got Jurassic World shooting coming up and I can't let my marriage get in the way of this.
As I set the key in the lock, I sigh to myself and think of my kids. The kids?! I have tried so hard for them not to see me fight with their dad, I just hope they aren't home.
When I step in the house, I feel the tension get heavier and the air sort of gets denser, making it impossible for me to breath.
- Bryce? What? Where were you? I've been texting and calling and in the last call guess who answered?
Oh god, Chris, no please no!
- some guy called Chris Pratt, he said he was you co star... Like I'd believe—
- he is my costar, is there a problem with that? What do you want Seth?
- hold up I haven't gotten to the best part yet.
I stare at him while he begins to speak.
- I began to shout on the phone and he told me that if I do anything to you, I have to answer to him. - he says. I stare at him and how his jaw tightened.
- what the fuck Bryce? Are you sleeping with him?
- what has gotten into you? It's none of your business. Ok?
I say as I go upstairs. I hear him follow me but I ignore him.
- yes it is my business, you are my wife and we also have vows.
- yes exactly. Seth don't even get me started, you can't say a thing to me about " being loyal to each other" as you clearly don't know what that means. Chris is no problem at all, he's no threat to this marriage, get that into your thick head. You haven't right to be angry at me, I do.
I say to him before heading to the room.
- I forbid you from ever seeing you this Chris guy out of work.
- you don't tell me what to do, if you want to make friends I can and you can't stop me.
- I'm you husband, the father to OUR children.
- yes I know but.. Hold up where are the kids?
He looks puzzled and I repeat the question again.
- where are they Seth?! - I try my hardest not to shout but it's not working.
- at my parents house. - he answers without making eye contact with me.
- what? - I ask him. - what do you mean your parents house?
- I dropped them off before coming home.
I can't believe he didn't tell me.
- look Bryce I have been wanting to tell you something, no actually I've been trying to find the right time to talk to you.
- no I don't want—
- just listen. I know you think that I'm an awful person but there was a misunderstanding... I wasn't cheating, honey.
- then what were you doping with her?
- business?
- business, huh, you really think I'm that stupid?
- oh just let it go already! Stop being so dramatic.. Why don't we just go downstairs and enjoy a cup of wine and you can tell me all about your day?
- I don't want to tell you about mine and I don't want to hear about yours is that clear?
- no but—
- nothing Seth, I'll be heading on a plane on Friday morning to Hawaii for the start to Jurassic World and since you don't mind taking care of the kids and they don't care spending time with you I don't think I'll be missed. Is that what you wanted to hear? - I look at him straight in to his eyes and I notice he is still processing the idea but he'll pull through.
I slam the door in his face and make my way to the bathroom, I quickly take off my blouse and cardigan, unclip my bra and put on my pyjama shirt, then I slip out of my jeans and put on sweatpants before heading to the bed. 
I hear the phone ring beside me and I answer.
- hello?
- hey Bryce, it's Chris sorry to bother you but I think you left your phone in my car..
- oh god! I'm so sorry Chris! I'll come by to pick it up.
- it's ok don't worry I'll come by, you don't have to come all the way.
- oh I'll drop off you jacket too.
- hold on.. You had it? Haha I was wondering where I left it!!
I laugh and  come to an agreement that well hand over our belongings at the airport. Surprisingly, we end up talking the entire evening. I think that by the time we hang up its 11pm. I turn the TV on and watch some Parks and rec, which Chris was in and end up falling asleep counting down the days for Jurassic World!!
