Nervous: Another Interracial Chris Evans Love Story

Chapter 3

Lena looks at herself in the mirror, the dress was a little too loose but knew Edna would fix it to fit her like a glove, but otherwise felt beautiful.  "What do you think?" Edna asks from outside the dressing room curtain.

Edna adjusts her glasses and looks at the shy girl who is slowly getting her confidence back.  "This is the dress you should be wearing.  I adore this on you!" 

"You really think so?"

"I made it didn't I?  I figured this would be better for you."  Edna replies as she puts a few pins in Lena's dress to have it fit her like a glove.  She wants Lena to look amazing not only for her image but to know she helped Chris and Lena fall in love. 

Lena does a quick twirl and looks at herself at the three mirrors.  Ok so maybe Edna was right.  She felt like a princess in Edna's black A-Line short strapless beaded sweetheart cocktail dress.  "Whoa."  The two women stopped when Chris came in.  "You look wow.  Edna, this dress looks awesome on her."

"Oh I know darling.  I do great work.  Anyways, Lena take it off so I can have it ready for you by tomorrow ok?"

"Sure thing."  Lena said happily as she goes back into the dressing room to change into the clothes she wore in.

"So you like what you see?"  Edna asks.

Hearing Edna's voice snaps Chris out of staring at Lena as she disappears behind the curtain.  "Ohhh, just admiring the beautiful work that you do."

"Right.  Keep pretending."  Edna replies as she goes to the clothes rack.  "So is she going with you to your movie premiere?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure she is unless otherwise.  Why?"

"SPLENDID!!  I have the perfect dress for her to wear.  I'll bring that by the night of the event.  I'll have a team to get her ready for both events."

"You don't have to do that for me or her."

"Ohh I know, but I want too.  I like her and I think she will be good for you and vice versa."

Chris nodded his head and made a mental note.

The ride back to Marylea's place was relatively quiet, but not in a bad way, both were in their own little world.  At one point Chris places his hand of Lena's leg and she doesn't tense she just places her hand on his and gives him a reassuring squeeze and a small smile.  Maybe I could get use to this, Lena thought.  Chris went on to tell her about the event they would be attending tomorrow evening.  It might not be so bad but, she wonders how life will be once Eevee is here.  She wonders if her daughter will adjust ok this next month or so in a strange new place.  Granted she and Marylea would be there she is slightly nervous about introducing her to a new guy. 

Again she jumped out the car before Chris could open the door for her.  She does as she did the day before and gave him a hug and quick peek on the cheek.

***********************************************************************************************

Heading home, Chris realizes that he has some homework on his hands.  He knows more about Lena than he did the day before but he realizes that Marylea is right, he needs to know more.  So he figures he would add her on everything possible on line and then just read. 

Her Instagram and Twitter were the easiest to get access to since no approval was needed.  He has come to learn that she is a nerdy girl with a love of politics, cooking, and her family.  She has a huge love for French Bulldogs, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Dr Who, and of course The Avengers to name a few.  After further inspection he now knows she has total of nineteen tattoos but are skillfully hidden.  Can't wait to see them in person.
