Destiny & Distance

—Who drugged who? -Shanna walks in too as she smiles at me-

—Gabriela drugged Chris -Carly said- he INVITED her over to Marvel Studios, can you believe? -Shanna turned to look at Chris only, but he avoided any eye contact with her-

—I do believe... though. Why is it that you invited her?

She asked Chris directly, wanting to drive him to his edge.

Chris' face looked annoyed and pissed which made me feel awkward about the subject, same subject that seconds ago had drawn me the biggest smile I've had in a long

—But If that's a problem Shanna, I mean, I can stay -I said trying to make her feel less comfortable, she laughed-

—No no, don't get me wrong. I'm glad he invited you! -she gave me a sincere smile and I returned it-

—'Cause she'll behave better than you, right Gabbie? -I nod awkwardly- because I can invite her and will. Did you know she's a MCU fan?

—Yeah, yeah -Shanna said more relaxed, which made the environment less tense- she made us saw Infinity War with her -Carly and Shanna chuckled while I saw Chris' expression soften- I'll be happy for her when she gets to meet the studios and the cast

—I'm getting excited as hell -I confessed and turned off the stove-

—Where's Scott? -Carly asked-

—I don't know, I haven't seen him -I said shrugging- I texted him when I arrived but he hasn't seen my texts

Chris' phone suddenly began to ring and he took it and left the kitchen, I was curious about who he might be talking to. I mean, does he have a girlfriend? As an actor he keeps his life really low key

—Why don't you look for him? -Carly asked with a weird expression-

—I mean, it's not my house, I can't just go anywhere I go whenever I want to -I laughed-

—Mom sees you as another child, I bet she doesn't mind, and my dad, well, my dad's never home

—The soul of y'all bodies' arrived -Scott said as he walked in, we all laughed-

—Where were you? I've been here for like an hour! -I said-

—Handling some business

—Some business? Probably you were talking to some random guy on Grindr -Shanna said, we laughed-

—Shut the hell up! I wasn't

At this point, my phone was the one that became to ring, it was my sister calling me on FaceTime

—Holaaaa! Qué haces? (Hiiiiii! What are you doing?)

—Estoy en casa de los Evans. Quieres conocerlos? -she nodded almost desperately- okey, pero habla en inglés que ellos no saben español. (I'm at Evan's house. You want to meet them? — okay but speak english cause they don't know spanish)

Shanna, Carly and Scott were looking at me with wide eyes, they've never listened to me speaking Spanish

—It's my sister, I've talked about you guys before and she wants to meet you -I told them, they all nodded, I turned to them- okay, so, Sara this is Scott -I pointed him, he came closer-

—Hola Sara. Come estas? (Hi Sara. How been?) -he said trying to speak Spanish but failing, Sara and I laughed-

—Hi Scott, nice to meet you. I speak english, don't worry about that

—And these two are Carly and Shanna

—Hiiii! -they said at the same time, my sister waved back-

—Lisa is upstairs and Chris is outside -I inform her- how's the family? How's my aunt? -Scott took my phone away quickly-

—Sara, your sister told us about your cousin and we are really sorry it happened to you

—Don't worry about it, and thanks for being with my sister, she really needed the company

—Of course, we'll always be here for her... And you, Sara, when are you coming? -Sara and I sighed-

—It ain't that easy, Gaby has to establish, but I hope to be there next year...

—We hope so too! Oh look, here's my mom -he turned back to Lisa who didn't understand- mom, this is Gabriela's sister, her name's Sara and she speaks english too

—Hello there, how are you? -Sara smiled and answered- don't worry about your sister 'cause we're taking care of her, alright?

We talked for some minutes right before Chris made his way back to the kitchen, I already had my phone on my hand, I knew Sara was more interested -or excited- in meeting Chris but I was kinda ashamed.

—And the missing person already appeared -Carly said to Sara, these two were getting alone pretty well tho- Chris look, it's Gabbie's sister over FaceTime

—Oh yeah? -He said and walked towards me, Sara's eyes were widening... but when I mean widening I really mean it- Hi there! Nice to meet you

My sister gasped and the put a hand on her mouth, after that she screamed her lungs out saying "No lo puedo creer" (I can't believe it)

—Sara! Behave -I told her, Chris looked at me and chuckled, "it's okay" he whispered-

—Okay, okay, sorry. -She said trying to calm down- I just... I—I never thought I'd be talking to you, I mean, my sister told me she met you but I just didn't believed her 'cause It's unbelievable

—Whoa, girl, chill -I said-

—Your sister told me you like the MCU -he smiled at her-

—I just don't like it, I LOVE IT, and I-I mean I love you, I'm a fan of yours -Chris chuckled-

—Good to know, thank you for that -I rolled my eyes at Sara but she just pretended like I didn't exist-

—Whoa, he's even more beautiful in person -Sara said out loud without realizing, we all laughed and I was a bit ashamed too-

—You just said it out loud -I informed her and her cheeks turned rosy-

—Is any of you into drinking? -Scott asked-

We were sitting at the living room, Lisa was at his room watching some TV show

—I am -Chris said-

—Me too -Carly raised her hand-

—Well, I'm not, I pass -Scott raises one eyebrow at me-

—Why? -Chris asks and turns to look at me directly, we were sitting next to each other, his arm was extended behind me but in the couch-

—I have to work, Chris, I can't go to work with a headache or something -he sighed-

—I get it

—But some shots won't make you drowsy -Scott said-

Please Scott, don't ask me again or I'll just say yes, I'm really craving a burning liquid down my throat right now

—Oh, c'mon! -Shanna says- Chris takes you home later -I looked at Chris and he nodded-

—Fine... You guys drag me to hell -they laugh-

—It's okay to be responsable but it's also okay to have fun -Carly said-

—Agreed -Chris said-

—Agreed? You're boring! -Scott laughed-

—I'll show you I'm not boring -he winked at Scott and stood up- I'll be right back
