What If

Chapter 14: Day One

In a new city, Faith did leave the hotel early using the GPS which Took her on a crazy way around the city and, attempting to stop at a coffee place seeing the line was crazy long she opted to not even worry about it. She made it to set right on time. She parked the car and got out pulling her hair up in a messy bun as she was already done dealing with it.

She met the director and a few other people who were working on preproduction, they started getting her up to speed, they were about to have so many full days since she was late to the set with everything going on in the world.

Faith visited a handful of the sets that the director had picked out included the house that they were planning on using, Most of the locations were in different cities around Boston. She was overwhelmed by the end of the day she had a mountain of paperwork, she had owners sign and local police department she needed to make sure they had them for certain dates.

She arrived back to the hotel and laid down the paperwork on the desk and looked at the time seeing it was actually late and couldn't remember the last time she ate. She looked at the message from him. She finally responded "Haven't attend all day and jet-lagged, where can I get something greasy, but healthy? Well semi, not crazy healthy" she wondered in text message back to him. She took a deep breath.

She wasn't expecting a response right away so she sat down at the desk and started to sort though the paperwork by town and location and what it was being used for. About a half hour later she Go a text message back "there is a few places, tell me where you are ill pick you up and show you some of the best food you have ever had" He messaged her back.

Faith bit her lip as she stared at the message for a good few moments before she replied with the hotel address and then added "okay but I have a lot of paperwork so im gonna do that and eat"

"totally fair I know pre production is behind" he responded as he said "be there in 10"

Faith quickly got up and went into the bathroom and freshened up, sprayed some dry shampoo in her hair as she didn't have time to shower and back up into the bun it went, She threw on a little mascara and grabbed a little paperwork and her bag and went downstairs and waited for him to pull up.

He rolled down the window with a smile. She bite her lip second guessing herself again but got in the car remembering what Rose said before she left. Think with her heart instead of her head

"Took you long enough I thought I was going to famish to death" Faith teased him

"i wouldn't have let that happen" Chris smiled at her as he started to drive out of the city a litter further than she was even today into this little diner that was often the beaten path. She got out of the car with her bag as she looked around seeing a few cars in the lot

The two went inside and got a booth. Faith looked over the menu. She lived by the law that a place either had a good burger or they didn't and that is how she determined if she would be back. How could she trust anything else if they couldn't make a burger.

The moment she figured out what she was going to eat she grabbed out the project business case she needed to finish that was due by midnight. She finished reading the paperwork about the projects taking place and the goals they wish to achieve and the outcome. When she concentrated about certain things She normally bite her lip and had her hand in her hair as she read

Chris looked up from his menu after determining what he wanted and saw her already working on paperwork admiring her work ethic "is there anything you need help with?" He wondered

She forgot for two second someone was sitting across from her as she jumped when she heard his voice "oh god. Sorry uh no I just have to finish reading this project case, making sure its fine and mail it back or no email it back" she smiled softly at him "you don't have to worry about it, you already signed off" she flipped to the last page and showed him his signature

(please note that I don't know anything about this so im making it all up in my brain)

He nodded "alright ill let you work" he said as he went to looking at his phone.

There food came right as she finished the document and put it back in her bag, she thanked the waiter as she fixed her bun, with her hand in her hair she pulled it loose.

"So since I have your attention for a few moments, how was the first day?" He wondered looking at her as she ate a fry

"stressful, I got lost on my way, didn't get any coffee. Visited like what felt like 100 places, got few places signed off to use for filming, uh were going to the house tomorrow. Im not sure if they are doing like staging it so that should be fun" She replied back to him "what about you how was your day?" She wondered

"good dodger got groomed, hung out with my nieces and nephew for a little while, did some work stuff, you know normal" he said back to her "I'm going to have to show you a coffee place before I take you back to the hotel" Chris responded as he ate his food

"could you please? Because the GPS is useless apparently for that when you get out of the city" Faith replied.

The two of them had pleasant conversion the rest of the night, He showed her where to get coffee and dropped her back off at the hotel

"Thank you Chris, I really appreciate it, and you know you didn't have to buy right? I got the next meal" she Smiled back at him getting out of the car.

He nodded "alright ill keep you to that" He made sure she made it inside before driving away.
