ELIZABETH typed in a rush as she usually did, slowly becoming a habit. She was texting Chris and what time he'd be at the airport. Elizabeth had been spending more time with Chris and she was yet to decide whether it was a good or bad decision to say yes when he asked her if they wanted to hang out after the day shooting finished. She loved Chris' company, actually too much for her liking, but she didn't want to get too caught up into feelings just yet after previously getting out of a relationship she thought was going to go places. A frown etched on her lips as she pulled her luggage behind her, she held her rectangular plane ticket in between her lips as she fiddled with her keys to finally lock the door of her penthouse.

Elizabeth sighed as she made her way to the uber that was going to take her to the airport. Hopefully during the trip she can decide whether or not the friendship that her and Chris have can extend into something much more than the word base 'friend', she just wished that nothing would get in her way during her holiday in New Zealand. She greeted the Arabic man who would be her uber driver for the remainder of the trip, her mind, however, shifted to situations she struggled to deal with in her mind, she just wanted to say them aloud to someone well trusted. She couldn't bring herself to admit that she was growing slight feelings for Chris, she just couldn't.

Before she had time to adjust to the thoughts, the uber driver tapped her slightly on her shoulder and alerted her that they were already at the airport. Elizabeth shook her head in confusion before thanking him shortly after, she fished for loose change in her pocket and tipping him massively without notice. She retrieved her luggage, sliding on a pair of sunglasses to block out the sudden flashes from paparazzi, lurking for drama to happen at any moment. Elizabeth smiled sympathetically at her numerous fans that hoped to get photos and autographs from her, but she could not since the paparazzi pushed them away to desperately get photos.

Her hands gripped her suitcases much more tighter, pursing her lips as she finally entered the airport with paparazzi still following her. She felt confined in one place, trying to escape the circle that the paparazzi were making, but failed, and so she felt confined and by then the claustrophobia kicked in and she was forced to consume short sharp breaths. Her body ached as she began to push against the paparazzi with the strength she could still find.

"Elizabeth." A voice called upon the rest of the paparazzi's, her head outstretching before seeing Scarlett  pulling apart the paparazzi for Elizabeth to go through.

"Thank you, I thought I was going to die just then."

"Then I would've killed them all if you did." Chris spoke through a chuckle as Elizabeth looked over Scarlett's shoulder to see Chris in a navy cap, a black jumper, dark jeans and simple boots. She smiled at his sight, allowing Scarlett to take her luggage as she threw her arms around Chris.

"Shut up hoe." She whispered, snickering as it vibrated on his neck, giving a small feeling in the pit of her stomach, prying herself away from Chris before the feeling increased.

"You okay there, Liz?" Chris asked, his hands hovering by her sides.

"Yea I'm uh fine, we better get some coffee." Elizabeth stuttered as she hesitated with her words. Looking back to see Scarlett pulling along her luggage with the rest.

"You are not fine, tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong, lets just focus on what's important, like New Zealand." She murmured, pulling along Chris as they began a search to find a cafe.

But everything was wrong for Elizabeth, although she did want to go to New Zealand, she still had to decide whether what she has with Chris is to be further noticed and appreciated. Of course she appreciated the care he shows for her, but if she was certain in liking Chris, which she is not, then she would pour all her affection towards him. Despite the fact he most probably doesn't like her back, and all the "flirty gestures" were meaningless jokes that were said in a way to strengthen their bond, as friends.
