Part of Your World:A Chris Evans FanFiction

11.

 I spent my first ever Halloween in the US with Gaby at ball held by a Wizarding shop in La Brea. We dressed as Hogwart's students and had an amazing time meeting and hanging out with lots of other Harry Potter geeks. At around 10 though her back was causing her too much pain, so I drove her home and put her to bed. I called Chris to see where he was. He had been invited to some Hollywood party, which he'd wanted me to be his date to, but quite frankly held no interest to me. He was still there, and begged me to come by, so I agreed. It was at the party that it really hit me, this guy was actually a famous person. I mean sure, he could generally go out and not be bothered by people, but this thing had paparazzi outside when I got there. I recognized a lot of the people inside. And as I walked the room searching for him (thankfully my name was on the door, or I wouldn't have known what to do), I become consciously aware of the fact I completely didn't fit in here dressed in my while not cheap, hardly custom Slytherin uniform, while all around me were people dressed in costumes some of which would have cost me 3 months of my not insignificant salary.

I finally spotted Chris, he was dressed as Tom Seleck in Magnum P.I. He'd even shaved so that he had the matching thick mustache. He was talking to Zach, one of his friend that was around all the time, and someone who I was sure was Scarlett Johansson, who was dressed as a mermaid. I walked over and waved when I was sure he'd noticed me.

"Here she is." He said when I got there pulling me close, and planting a kiss on me. He tasted strongly of beer and a little bit like cigarettes. "Zach, Emily is here. Scar this is Emily."

I greeted them both with a small wave.

"Oh so this is Emily?" Scarlett said. "He won't stop talking about you."

"I hope that at least half of it has been bad." I joked.

Chris laughed and said, "Oh at least half. You're a terrible person." His words were a little slurred, and he kept rubbing his hands up and down my arms.

"Someones been having a fun time." I said.

Both Zach and Scarlett laughed. "Yeah, he's had a bit to drink. Probably should get him home soon." Zach said.

"No, no, no, no. I'm alright. Don't say things like that." Chris slurred. "Emily just got here. You want to dance now, baby?"

I excused myself form Scarlett and Zach as Chris pulled me onto the dance floor.

The music was a fast tempo dance song, but Chris had wrapped me into his arms and was swaying slowly with me.

"I missed you." He said, "I didn't think I'd get to see you tonight."

"I know. But it's only one night. We can be apart one night."

"Yeah, but I don't have to like it. It's Halloween!" He yelled the last part, and I flinched away from him. "Besides. I prob'ly have to be away from you heaps. All my work makes me go away. I norm'ly like to be home in Boston now. But I didn't want to be away from you."

I hooked my arms around his neck. I don't know what had set this off, but he seemed to be quite hurt. We'd talked about Halloween and he'd seemed totally okay about me spending the night doing something I wanted to do with my friend than at a weird socially obligated event that I wouldn't feel comfortable at.

"I love you, baby." He crooned into my ear.

"I know. I love you too." I pulled him down to me, and held his head against my neck. "How about we go home now, my love?"

He rubbed his face against me. "But you only just got here. Aren't you having fun?"

"Are you?"
