Wait a minute....

Chapter 4: She's back

Chris' POV
We just got to the hotel. I was disappointed to learn that Scarlett and I weren't on the same floor, but that's okay. I mean... I just want her so close to me. I want to be by her side. I was getting ready for our night out. I was so excited to go out tonight. I needed to relax for this crazy week.

I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to find the one and only Anthony Mackie. He was holding two beer bottles. He walked in and handed me a beer.
"Are you ready to get freakyyy tonight?" He said with an eyebrow raise.
"Yeah. Of course I am." I said sarcastically.
"Hey...you never know.... you and Scarlett might get a little friskyyy." He said as he did this obnoxious hip thrust. I punched his arm playfully.
"Ouch! I'm just telling the truth." He said.
"Yeah. Keep dreaming." I said to him.
We both laughed.
"Let's head downstairs. I think some of the others are ready." I said. I just wanted this conversation to be over.
"Yeah your probably right. I guess we are fashionably late." He said. I gave him an eye roll and laugh. We headed out the door. We were on the elevator and all I could think about was Scarlett. What if we do get together tonight? Would that be so bad? As soon as we walked off the elevator and walked into the lobby. Everyone was there except for the girls of course, but we had an extra person tonight. I stopped and was shocked to see her. She looked amazing. I haven't seen her in forever. Emily VanCamp.

"Hey Chris!" She said. I was so happy to see her. I actually missed her since CATWS. I hugged her tightly.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her enthusiastically. I mean we are in Cleveland.
Anthony Russo came up and put his hand on her shoulder.
"She is going to be back in Captain America:Civil War and we thought she should get another feel for how premiere week works around here. She was free so we invited her to Cleveland. It was a surprise." He said smiling. I was shocked she was coming back.
" Oh great! Congrats!" I said shaking her hand.
"Thanks. It's good to be back." She said with a little smirk. We stared into each other's eyes. I missed having my friend back.

Scarlett's POV
I was putting on the last of my makeup until I heard a knock. I got up to answer the door and I smiled. It was Liz and Cobie.
"Hey gorgeous. Are you almost ready?" Cobie said with a lovely smile.
"Yeah. I just need to put my outfit on" I said with a bit of enthusiasm. I was so excited because I looked so hot. How could Chris not like it. I mean... I look kinda sexy. I went into the bathroom to change.
"Hey scar...how was the plane ride?" Elizabeth yelled from the room.
"Umm.. it was good. I sat next to Chris so-" I said before I was interrupted.
"Ooooooooooo" I heard Liz and Cobie say simultaneously. I walked out the bathroom and was rushing to put my shoes and hoops on.
"It's not like that. We just did our own thing." I said trying to defend myself. I lied. I was so close to him and I took a nap on him. They didn't need to know.
"Whatever you say Scar. Btw, you look stunning." Elizabeth said with a smile.
"Thanks. You guys look amazing as well." I said to them trying to hype them up.

Scarlett's outfit

"Since we all look stunning, let's take a group selfie." Cobie said. Liz and I nodded in agreement and walked to Cobie and took the selfie. I love my girls so much.
We headed out and went to the elevator. I was happy to get Chris' reaction. What is he going to think? I hope it is good.

We got off the elevator and I was smiling. I stopped in my tracks when we reached the lobby. My smile soon faded. I saw Chris giggling and smiling with no other than Emily VanCamp. I was a bit heartbroken. I don't know if they have something special, but I was definitely confused. I had no right to be jealous. I just want to drink away my problems tonight.
