A Chance Meeting | Chris Evans

Chapter 23

Sunday 1.20pm

Okay, he could do this, he could tell her. Like his mom said, the longer he left it, the worse it was going to be.

Chris 🤪
Becs?

Becs📚
Hi 👋 Are you having a relaxing Sunday?

Relaxing? No. I'm having a mild anxiety attack at the thought of telling you who I am.

Chris 🤪
Yeah, listen I've got something that I need to talk to you about

Becs📚
I tried to call you last night btw

Yeah, I know. But I couldn't answer because it was facetime

Chris 🤪
Oh yes, sorry about that. I couldn't take the call right then. I meant to call back later, but I forgot.

Becs📚
No worries 😃 Did you have a good time at your brother's party?

Chris 🤪
Yeah. But there's something that I need to say

You can do this. Deep breaths.

Becs📚
BRB - doorbell

Are you kidding me?

Chris 🤪
????

Becs📚
Sorry, Ella and Viv are here - we're going to have a movie marathon

Oh for fuck's sake!

Chris 🤪
Oh

Becs📚
But you said there was something you needed to tell me?

Well I can't say it now! Not with your friends there.

Chris 🤪
It can wait. What movies are you watching?

Becs📚
We're going to have a Marvel catch-up marathon. Ella wants to see Thor: Dark World, but that's just because she's got a bit of a thing for Chris Hemsworth, to be honest. I'm not expecting it to be any good. And we're going to give Captain America: Winter Soldier a go after you said it was a lot better than the first one. And then if we're still awake, probably rewatch Guardians because I love it 😍

You're watching my film

Chris 🤪
That's a lot of films

Becs📚
I know!

Chris 🤪
Let me know what you think of them

Becs📚
I will

********

10.45pm

Chris 🤪
Becs? You still awake?

Becs📚
Yes

Chris 🤪
How'd your movies go?

Especially mine

Becs📚
Bit of a mixed bag - one was really good 👍🏻, one was a snooze fest 💤 and obviously Guardians was amazing 😍

Please don't say you found mine boring

Chris 🤪
Which was which?

Becs📚
I wasn't that keen on the Thor film, it just didn't hold my interest. Although I loved Loki

Chris 🤪
Identifying with the baddie again? 😉

Becs📚
😁
He's just so funny and deliciously bad. I liked his scenes, but the rest I found a bit yawn-some. I was in the minority though because Ella and Viv enjoyed it. Although I think that might have been because Thor took his shirt off apparently

Chris 🤪
Apparently?

Becs📚
I think I may have dozed off for that bit 💤 because I didn't notice

Chris 🤪
😆 Do you fall asleep during movies a lot?

Becs📚
Yes. I'm terrible, I can fall asleep anywhere and frequently do 😴💤

Chris 🤪
What did you think about the Captain America movie?

Please say you liked it

Becs📚
I really enjoyed it - you were right, it's so much better than the first one

Chris 🤪
I'm so glad you liked it

Becs📚
Yeah, it was so good that it made me think I should go back and rewatch the first one again. Maybe it was better than I gave it credit for

He knew that he was grinning like a loon. Maybe now was the right time to tell her.

Chris 🤪
Have your friends gone home?

Becs📚
No, they're still here, sitting next to me on the sofa. They say 'hi'

Dammit!

Chris 🤪
Hi back to them

Chris 🤪
It's getting late, so I'd better say goodnight

Becs📚
Night Chris

Chris 🤪
Night Becs📚
