Phoenix entered Chris's Boston penthouse silently as she searched for the man she had been thinking about all weekend. Rather than going back to L.A., like she had originally planned, she bought a ticket to Boston.

Getting the opportunity to talk to Tom about everything that was going on was therapeutic as he got things out of her that she wasn't even aware of. He helped her realize she craved space from her relationship and that was something she wanted to share with Chris immediately. The truth of the matter was that Phoenix had been feeling as if she was losing sight of her goals. More than anything else, she wanted to take a step back and spend time with herself to figure out not only what she wanted out of her relationship but what she wanted out of life. She desired something but couldn't quite figure out what it was yet.

"Chris?" Phoenix called after entering his Boston penthouse. As she walked farther inside, she spotted him sitting on the loveseat, with his back facing her. She sat her laptop bag on the island counter before approaching the man who looked to be dozing off. "CHRISTOPHER!"

Chris's eyes snapped open at the sound of his girlfriend's voice. He gave his now bloodshot eyes a rub before turning around to face her. "Phoenix! You're in Boston?"

"I am." She confirmed as she made her way to the loveseat he had been sitting on. She plopped down next to his naked body and rested her head on his bare shoulder. She decided to hold off a little bit on talking to Chris about her feelings because she wanted to hangout with him a little bit beforehand. She could only imagine how awkward it'd get when she really got down to it.

"I wasn't expecting to see you until next week honeybee!" He spoke while hugging Phoenix tightly from the side. Even though they'd only been apart for a few days, Chris had been missing her like crazy and couldn't wait to hold her and kiss her. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." Phoenix smiled before gently squeezing his crotch area. "And that."

Chris let out a hearty laugh as he leaned back, pulling her on top of him in the process. He placed a soft kiss on her lips after pushing back a strand of her hair and proceeded to firmly grip her ass. "I missed that."

"Remember when you said you love fucking girls in the ass on national tv?"

"I do remember." He nodded with another laugh in reference to the Avengers playing 'telephone' with Jimmy Kimmel. "It was the first thing that came to mind."

"Of course it was." Phoenix replied before removing herself from Chris's body. She walked over to the island counter, where her laptop bag was sitting, and pulled out her MacBook. She was planning on editing her footage, which took FOREVER, as soon as she got back to L.A.; but because she only had a short time frame to edit, she had to continue the editing process even while she was in Boston. "I'm gonna go through the last bit of footage and edit it. It shouldn't take longer than an hour or two but after that, I'm all yours."

Chris followed Phoenix to the kitchen, where she was now sitting on a barstool and leaning forward onto the island counter. He wrapped his arms around her from behind before running a hand up her shirt and over her bare breast. "Can't we just-"

"I'm busy." Phoenix cut him off while easily removing his hand from her shirt. "Maybe afterwards."

"Maybe afterwards." Chris repeated with a sigh after taking a seat in the empty stool next to his girlfriend. "Okay then."

As Phoenix went through the last bit of her footage, Chris sat right beside her, not once leaving her side. Occasionally, he leaned over to give her a kiss, run his hand up her thigh or simply squeeze her hand just to remind her that he was there.
