Little Me || Chris Taylor

Camila's POV- November 2017

"Do we really have to go outside?" I asked as I took a seat on the bed.

Chris looked at me and smiled.

"You said you were up for an adventure"

I looked out the window and scrunched up my nose a bit.

"But it's cold outside" I stated.

Let's not forget, it was also super early.

"How would you know? You haven't gone outside"

"It looks cold outside" I noted.

"It is actually warm right now"

"Liar" I told him.

He smiled.

"Are you ready?"

"Where are you taking me?" I asked.

"It's a surprise"

He proceeded to reach over and adjust my beanie so both my ears were covered.

"Ready?"

I nodded and stood up.

"Can we get coffee?" I wondered.

He nodded and followed me out of the room. It was 10 AM and I was still on West Coast time where it was 7 AM. 

"That's our first stop"

I groaned as we made our way out into the cold morning.

"How is this warm?" I questioned.

"It's warmer than most mornings"

He placed his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. Once we were in the car, I reached over and turned on the heater. As I did that, Chris patted his thighs and then the pocket on his jacket. 

"Are you forgetting anything?" I asked when he patted the pocket on his jacket more than once.

"Uh, give me a second"

I nodded and watched as he jogged his way back towards his parent's house. While I waited, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and decided to check my email. This past week had been quite hectic so I was thankful to be away from LA. The team had been working on a very big project, and the construction workers would begin to layout the foundation this upcoming Monday. Our boss was just informing us about that, and he was wishing us a Happy Thanksgiving. It was a pretty long email, so just as I finished I glanced up when the door opened.

"What did you forget?" I asked Chris as he got back into the car.

He closed the car door before looking at me.

"My credit card"

I watched as he took his card out of the pocket of his jacket.

"We could have used mine" I noted.

He smiled.

"Nonsense"

Once his seatbelt was on, he began driving.

"Do you think I should change my dentist appointment?"

Chris had somehow scheduled his dentist appointment for the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend.

"If you don't get it done on Monday, you will probably have to wait until next offseason," I told him.

He was getting his wisdom teeth removed. All 4 were bothering him, and his dentist would be removing 2 (top and bottom left) to alleviate the discomfort. There was a chance that he'd get all 4 removed soon.
