Chryce Beginnings

Chapter 7 - Apologising

When I woke up at around 8 in the morning, I felt quite fresh. Suprisingly. It was just 30 minutes after that that Dad rang me up.

"Hey Bryce!"

"Hi Dad," I said, a tad tired but fine.

"Listen, I posted the picture of you and Chris on Twitter stating that you two would be the co-stars of Jurassic World! Check it out!"

He did what?!  Oh my, this was a life curve I was not prepared for. (Just quoting Steve Martin from Father of the Bride Part II).

"Oh, uh.. yeah Dad, I will," I said, stammering. I put the phone down, and saw the picture.

"Oh hell," I muttered.

I was shocked enough when 5 minutes went by, and came another call from Dad.

"Say Bryce, was there any chance that the deal wasn't closed?"

"No Dad. It wasn't," I said with a sigh.

"Oh shit.. I.. we'll have to apologise," he said.

"I'm meeting with Chris today anyways. I'll tell him," I said.

"Okay. I'll speak to Colin. Bye," he said.

"Yeah, bye Dad."

I put down the phone, just dumbfounded.

These were the weirdest close-to-40 minutes of my life.

Soon, it was time for, uh.. you know what.

I got ready, put on my best face as to not let anyone guess that I had been through hell, and went out.

I reached Starbucks at just around 12:10 pm. With the traffic problems, driving in L.A. is quite hectic. But I make it nonetheless.

And when I reach the place, I saw someone at the table I had a reservation at.

It was Chris.
