FIRST KISS (A CHRIS EVANS ONE-SHOT STORY)

6

Chris was taking a picture with a 10-year-old boy when he noticed the familiar back of the girl from last night. The girl who stays in front of her room. He couldn't help but smile upon noticing that the girl seems to be hiding. Since arriving to that place, this is the only person who made him feel like a normal person. Everyone keeps on greeting him and asking him for some pictures, never realizing that he came there as a normal guy and not some sort of a celebrity. This girl never did that even if he rode in the same elevator with her yesterday. To his surprise, he even made him laugh. He walked towards her when the boy and his mother left. She saw him already, but instead of approaching him, she pretended to be counting the coconuts in the tree. He secretly laugh to himself.

"Hey," he teased. "I could see that you have found yourself a hobby, huh?"

Her bare back stiffened. He could sense that she was taking a deep breath. She face him afterwards and that's when he noticed her pretty set of dark, brown eyes.

"Oh, hi," she said, tense. "I didn't know you're here."

"Really?" he gave her an amuse smile. "You didn't see me taking a picture with the kid and his mum?"

"No, no," she denied even though it's so obvious that he's laughing to himself again. "You see, I was counting coconuts which I do whenever I feel sleepy."

"You do?" he challenged. "How's that work?"

"Well, um," she bit her lower lip. "You know how counting sheep works when you want to fall asleep, right? Well, this is the opposite of that. You have to count coconuts when you feel sleepy."

Chris could only bit his lip. He really don't know how long he could keep himself from laughing. My god, this girl is so funny.

"Well, that's how it works, really," she insist before staring to the sand, totally embarrassed. "Not that a lot of people know."

And that's it. Chris couldn't help it anymore. He laughed.
