Destiny & Distance

17°

I start to make dinner while we both were quiet, I know what happened a few minutes ago was just confusing

—Is Mac and Cheese okay with you? -I ask Chris, he nods- fine then

—So, mhmm... I'm gonna text my mom to let her know I'm staying here

—It's okay, tell her I said hi

—Do you have to work tomorrow? -he asks-

—Of course, Annie didn't open the bakery today because she was busy but tomorrow's a whole new day

—Fine, we could go out and have breakfast, then I'll drop you at work. Is that okay?

—Totally -I smile-

—Gabbie -I turn to face him- let's get to know each other

What does he actually means? I mean... It's weird because we've had sex already and we do know each other but it's not like we're best friends or something

—Get to know each other? -I ask, he nods-

—Yeah, I mean, we can ask each other any question that comes to our minds, would you like it?

Oh. I get it, he's kinda bored so this is some type of topic

—Yeah, of course, you go first -I say as I pour the milk to finish the quick dinner-

—What's something that terrifies you?

I think for a bit

—Right now what terrifies me the most receiving a call from my family with bad news. I mean, I already received it, but it'll hurt me like hell if something happens to my parents or my sister. What about you, what terrifies you the most?

—Losing my mom, losing my loved one, if I had one... What else? Oh, having a baby on the way and that my mom couldn't get to know him or her -he shrugs- since I'm an adult, I've always had this thought of my kids being spoiled by her grandma, if that doesn't happen I won't feel fulfilled somewhat.

—I thought you didn't wanted to have kids -I laugh-

—I do, just, not right now

—How many kids does Chris Evans wants? -we laugh-

—Four, probably. I want a huge family, four kids and a dog

—You're out of your mind. Four? -he nods- if a woman ever gives you four kids let me tell you, that woman loves you! I'd lose my mind with four kids.

—I guess it's a challenge

—A challenge? It's more than that -I giggle- your turn to ask.

—If you could marry someone, who would it be?

—I'd definitely marry a footballer -I laugh as he rolls his eyes- I mean, it'll be pretty amazing, I get to watch not only all matches live but also, I'd see the love of my life actually playing

—What footballer you'd like to marry?

—Let me think of my perfect match. I'd marry Claudio Marchisio or Sergi Roberto... But I'd rather Marchisio

—Don't know who that is -he laughed-

—Well, he's one of my crushes. So, something you regret or want to change about you?

—I'm definitely going to change the fact that I always put someone else first and I've learn that I have to be my priority. -he pauses- something I regret? Being so stiff sometimes, I need to loose up and enjoy more other than being correct all the time

—I can help you with that -I laugh-

Many days had come by, it's December 20 already. My past days went by as usual, talking to my family, hanging out with the Evans. And I also met this guy who recently moved in next to me, his name is Stephan... I think he's from Colorado, I'm not sure, he's pretty dope tho.

Chris had left to L.A around 2 weeks ago and he was supposed to arrive today, Annie decided that the bakery was gonna work till today and then we'll have a break until January 1st. Which was pretty weird.

After I left work I decided to go to the Walmart near my building. God, I loved Walmart so much, don't even know why but I could spend the whole day here, I was grocery shopping alone until I decided to call Carly and invite her over so she could drop me at my house. We found each other at the ice cream isle.

—Carls! -I chuckled and hugged her- I've missed you

—The last time we saw was like... 4 days ago, dramatic. -she laughs and I roll my eyes- mind if we grab some wine? I could really use it

—I'm almost done -I look down at my grocery list- I only need to grab some integral bread, fresh salmon, cream cheese and nuts, then we could go grab the wine

—What kind of list is that? -she has a weird expression in her face-

—Well, mine, duh. Have you ever had Caesar salmon salad? I mean, it's heaven to me... I know it's supposed to be with chicken but you know how creative I am

—I wanna try it now.

We keep walking but I turn around and grab a Häagen-Dazs ice cream, we then continue to walk

—What if we grab some crackers and prosciutto? -Carly suggests- oh and Brie cheese.

—I have crackers at home, let's go grab these and then we'll stop by Subway, I really need one sub

—Really Gabbie, Subway? I'm more into McDonald's

—Well then you buy McDonald's and I buy Subway -we laugh-

I paid for the groceries and then we went to eat, I told Carly to get me one apple pie and in exchange I'll give her my subway cookies, we ate and went to my apartment

—Hi Stephan, how you've been? -I ask him politely, we ran into each other at the lobby- this is my friend Carly, Carly this is my neighbor Stephan

—Nice to meet you, Carly -he smiles at her, she does the same- I've been good, what about you, what are you up to?

—Oh I'm gonna be with her, you know, some best friend chatting. You're leaving, right?

—Yeah, yeah, I have this... uhm.. date.

—Date? Wow, the boy's prospering! -we laugh- have fun, take care.

Carly and I entered the elevator and went straight to my apartment, leaving all bags in the kitchen counter top.

I started to put everything in it's place, Carly served wine to the both of us

—Are you going to our house tonight?

—I'm not sure, Carly. I'm kinda tired, it's been a long day

—But Chris must be arriving by now.

—I know, I just don't think I'm ready to see him yet

—You can't avoid him forever -she shrugs-
