Chryce Beginnings

Chapter 21 - Love in the Time of Pterosauria

It was the scene where the helicopter crashes into the Aviary. The pterosaurs run wild, and thus the start of the destruction of the island.

We get to a venue where they are attacking the visitors. I get on top of a surface, trying to find my 'nephews' in the film, Zach and Gray.

Suddenly, I see a pterosaur on top of Chris (Owen). I take a gun, and fire the tranquilizer at the flyer. 

He looks at me, a little surprised. I help him up. But nothing could've prepared me for what happened next. It was out of script. Literally.

His lips landed on mine, amidst the whole wild flock. I didn't know what was happening. Why was he kissing me on set, in front of everyone?

But that faded to secondary importance as I lost myself in it. It was like the one in his room. But this felt different.

 We soon pulled back, and it turned out that it was all part of the plan by Trevorrow and Chris. 'Surprise me in front of 200 people'. I was totally surprised.

What felt weird about the kiss, was that it was Chris's improvisation. But fears began to occupy me. I had just made up with Seth. He had made up with Anna. Why did he?

We were done, when I mustered up the courage to ask him. But I also demanded to be answered.

"Chris?"

"Yeah?" he asked.

"What was that about?" I asked. 

He was silent for a while.

"Just a little on-screen improvisation. The idea seemed nice. You know, all the dinos are going wild, all of a sudden, two people are kissing.." Chris said. "But I should've told you. My bad there. Sorry."

The first words had me thinking like anything. But the next words cooled me down.

"It's fine. I mean, it really looked like a good surprise."

We smiled and laughed, and soon forgot about this.

But at night, while we were just talking, there was a brief moment where our eyes got locked onto each other. We moved towards each other, struggling to move back.

But it wasn't long before he kissed my forehead. My eyes closed, trying to take that in, when he spoke again.

"There is one more reason I did that."

I was taken aback. But the next words shook me even more.

"I failed to hold back."

He slowly left, while I gazed in his direction. 

Thinking of how weird this had gone. The two of us.
