Lucky Me

Butterflies Flutter In The Best Possible Way

Lucy's POV

"well reply to the poor man!" Charlie shoved me in the shoulder as I just stood and stared at my phone screen.

Captain Spangles: Well I'm sure glad she did, again x

I read the words over and over. My pulse was quickening at an alarming rate. But I didn't know what to think or feel. Never mind reply back. But he beat me to it.

Captain Spangles: Can we meet up? Be nice to hear your voice- see your face again :) x

"sweet Jesus, just say yes!" Charlie bawled in my ear. I winced and glared at her for reading over  my shoulder. "I don't think its a good idea" I said to her, looking worried. But she rolled her eyes. "you have nothing to lose. See him. See if you guys still have that spark- Which you do- and tell him you're sorry and you regret everything you did that caused his sweet little ass pain and heartbreak" my so-called friend said whilst holding her clasped hands to her heart. I groaned at her suggestion and looked back to my phone.

Captain Spangles: Unless you don't want to. I mean, that's cool too... x

My heart ached at that message. He was bumbling again, being his usual dorky Chris self. I chewed on my lip and tried to calm my breathing. Instinctively I knew it wasn't a good idea to agree to this, but then part of me wondered whether he felt the same still. I saw the little bubble pop up on my screen that showed he was typing, but then it stopped. "Will you just put him out of his misery either way, he's probably floundering and wanting to send you another message" Charlie said, clicking me back to reality somewhat. I huffed out a breath and moved my thumbs over the screen to type my reply.

Me: okay we can do that. Where and when did you have in mind? x

I pressed send and instantly I saw him typing again. "dude's keen" Charlie smirked at me, and I rolled my eyes at her, biting the inside of my cheek to stop myself from smiling.

Captain Spangles: awesome :) how about the Donut shop? 8.30? x

Me: Sounds good. See you then x

Captain Spangles: Can't wait ;) x

"that's my girl" Charlie winked at me as she nudged me hard in the side. I tried to glare at her but it turned into a slight laugh. "are you ever gonna stop reading my texts?" I asked her, tucking my phone into the back pocket of my jeans. She giggled and shrugged, "maybe now that you're actually meeting him" she grinned. But I scoffed at her playfully. "so what's next?" I asked, feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation about what was to happen later.

Chris' POV

"I take it by that Cheshire cat grin that she's replied?" Downey passed by me with a grin. I looked up at him and nodded, "since when did you know?" I questioned, raising a brow. "we all know Evans" He laughed, "glad you have a smile on your face though my friend" he said, giving me a wry smile. I grinned at him, hoping to God my cheeks weren't too pink. "thanks" I said looking down to the floor as RDJ wandered off to wherever he was needed next.

"Yo Evans!" Mackie yelled over to me. I looked up, seeing him standing with Seb. They were both I smoothed over my hair and stood up from my seat. "get the lead out! We gotta photo op to get to!" they both stood there grinning like a couple of school boys and I couldn't help laughing at them. Maybe today was going to be better than I expected.
