"All my life, since the moment I was born till now, there hasn't been a day where my name wasn't in a newspaper article or my face wasn't plastered on top of some sleazy magazine. There hasn't been a day when I go somewhere and not get hounded by pa...

DELILAH MCCARTNEY SIGHED, twirling the can of beer she was holding. It was around midnight, and her boyfriend's party at a pub was lively more than ever. He, himself, was surrounded by a crowd, all eager to take a picture with the birthday boy, whereas she was sitting all by herself at a table. She noticed loads of people staring at her, whispering to themselves and snapping pictures like she wouldn't perceive.
Delilah usually was the life of the party. She normally was the one dancing on top of a table, drunk off her ass. But not recently. With her career, her social life, her friends, her fame skyrocketing, and her relationship with Tom -- everything was becoming too much. She just never got a moment alone. Someone was there, always -- usually cameras.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone buzzing. She unlocked her phone and noticed she had a text from an unknown number.
UNKNOWN hey, is this delilah?
DELILAH who's asking?
UNKNOWN i'm chris evans
DELILAH oh hey, Chris! lemme save ur number real quick
Delilah wondered how he'd gotten her number.
"Hey, 'Lilah.. I want you to meet some people!" Scarlett whispered in Delilah's ear, slinging an arm around her and pulling her away from Tom, who hadn't noticed the intrusion. Not that he ever noticed.
Delilah laughed. "Who?"
"Just you wait, honey." Scarlett dragged her across the party, pushing dancing people away while Delilah muttered a sorry to them.
"Delilah, this is Tom Holland -- he's obsessed with you and that's Chris. Evans, you know." Scarlett stopped in front of a booth. Two guys were seated there, and Delilah recognized them -- one was the kid who played Spider-Man and the other was Chris Evans. They stood up and the spider man kid gawked. "Oh my god, you're Delilah McCartney!" He had a British accent.
She laughed. "Oh my god, you're the spidey guy! You're amazing!"
Tom came out of the booth and stood in front of her and widened his eyes. "Oh my god, I can't believe you're real! I've been listening to your music ever since you started out! Personally, my favorite song is Love Story because it's the first one I've ever heard of yours but I also love everything on 1989, it's so good! Oh my god, I'm rambling." He panted.
Delilah laughed heartily as Scarlett rolled her eyes. "He's always like this, 'Lilah. Ever since you and Hiddleston started going out, he's been annoying all of us... like he has a poster of you--"
"OK, Scarlett, that's enough!" Tom put his hand over Scarlett's mouth.
Delilah laughed again. "You're a sweetheart!"
Her eyes trailed to the other person in the booth who was chuckling at all this. He stopped, noticing Delilah's gaze on him. The first thing she noticed was his eyes. They were a captivating shade of blue. Delilah felt her pulse quicken. She felt like she could drown in them.He also had a jawline that could cut glass, like how? And wow, just wow... He was even hotter in person.
Shit.
Chris also seemed to be staring at her, until Scarlett cleared her throat. "Guys?"
Delilah was broken out of her trance. She smiled, an awkward one. "Hi, I'm Delilah..."
Chris grinned back. "Hey, Delilah, I'm Chris." She loved the way her name sounded on his lips.
Focus. Delilah reminded herself.
"Delilah!"
Delilah whipped her head around and noticed Robert Downey Jr beckoning her over. She grinned at him, thankful for the distraction, and turned back to the guys. "I have to go... but it was a pleasure to meet you, Tom! And you too... Chris." She hugged Tom who still seemed to be in shock and smiled at Chris, letting her gaze linger on his lips for a second. He bit his lip and smiled back. Delilah felt tingly all over. Scarlett nudged Chris, smirking at Delilah and she turned away, muttering to herself. "This is trouble. Chris Evans is trouble."
All that had happened an hour ago. Her phone buzzed again as she saved his number.
CHRIS EVANS i got ur number from scarlett, hope u don't mind...
DELILAH never (:
CHRIS EVANS that's a relief
DELILAH why are you texting me when we're at the same party
CHRIS EVANS because you kinda froze up when we met, so...
DELILAH um...
CHRIS EVANS what are the chances of u freezing up again if i sit beside you?
DELILAH who wouldn't freeze up when they see ur angelic face?
Delilah smiled. Her phone buzzed again.
CHRIS EVANS and who wouldn't wanna sit beside you when you smile like that? move aside, princess
Delilah bit her lower lip and looked up, and noticed him making his way over to her. He had a smile on his face.
A little conversation won't hurt, right?
