Chris sends Scarlett a quick text to let her know that he was going to be telling the others of his and Sebastian's relationship in the next few minutes before getting himself ready. The nerves were eating away at him, but he knew that he had to tell them now to avoid them finding out on their own.

Chris planned on facetiming Sebastian the news once he got home, or even rushing off to the bathrooms afterwards to give him a quick call. Sebastian had warned him that they could not have another Max incident, claiming his heart couldn't take the not knowing who he's told. Chris had promised that would not happen.

Once he was ready, Chris caught a taxi and made it to the restaurant where Max was waiting outside for him, looking down at his phone. "Hey!" Chris calls out, jogging over. "Sorry I took so long."

"Its fine," Max assures him with a grin, patting his shoulder. "The guys are waiting for us inside."

Chris nods and follows his roommate inside, weaving through the many tables before arriving at their own. Matthew and Liam grin at them, clapping their hands together in perfect unison. "Finally, I'm starving." Liam groans out, picking up his menu. "What took you so long, Evans?"

Chris rolls his eyes jokingly, taking a seat across from the two. "I was just on a call with one of my friends back home, I haven't really been able to talk to her recently."

"Ooo, a girl hm?" Matthew teases, elbowing Liam. "Is this the mysterious 'S?'"

Chris scoffs out a laugh. "God no, her and I are more like siblings, and plus she's seeing someone."

Liam pouts. "Damn, when are we gonna find out about this S girl, Evans? The suspense is killing me."

Max rolls his eyes this time, throwing a screwed up napkin at Liam's face. "All in good time, Liam." He says, picking up his menu and nodding to Chris's smile of thanks. "patience is a virtue."

"Virtue my ass."

"Language!" A woman's voice suddenly yells, whacking Liam atop the head with her pad of paper, Chris and the other two having to clamp a hand over their mouths to keep themselves from laughing. "I though with you being nineteen and all you would learn not to swear in this restaurant."

"Oh come on, Tia Melissa," Liam all but whines, rubbing his head. "Live a little, swearing isn't that bad."

Liam's aunt, Melissa, rolls her eyes and slaps him behind the head, causing him to yelp and glare at her. "I don't care what you think, Sobrino. You will not swear around me, understood?" Her thick Spanish accent weaves throughout her words, and Liam nods glumly, Chris snorting quietly. "Now, who are your friends?"

"Matthew, Max and Chris." Liam grumbles, rubbing the back of his head and pointing to each of them. "Surely you remember Matthew and Max."

"But of course," Melissa responds. "But I haven't met Chris before, its nice to meet you young man."

Chris smiles his signature smile at her and shakes her outstretched hand. "Its nice to meet you too, ma'am." He says, looking around the restaurant. "It's beautiful in here, how long have you guys owned this place?"

Melissa grins and Liam groans, rolling his eyes. "Now this handsome young man knows what manners are." She says, looking at her nephew pointedly. "Maybe he could teach you some."
