Sunday 5.44am
Becca dragged herself blearily into the kitchen, and seriously considered just eating the coffee grounds rather than having to wait for the kettle to boil.
Urgh! I should NOT have had that last martini.
She grabbed a packet of Advil and a large glass of water. On the counter by the sink was the pros and cons list from the night before.

Cons
Anxiety
The press
Long distance relationship
No future??
Everyone ogling him and making comments

Pros
Sweet
Kind
Thoughtful
Funny
Shared interests
Incredibly hot
Nice family
Trustworthy
You like him
He likes you

She'd been pretty stingy with the pros last night - there were loads more that she could have added, and they still outnumbered the cons two to one.
Even the cons didn't seem so bad this morning - yes, the press would be a real issue, and him having to be away so much would suck, and there was a real risk she'd bodily harm the next person who said something explicit about him, but would it all be worth it to date Chris?
He'd probably be a wonderful boyfriend - he was a real gentleman, which was a rare thing these days, and he was very attentive - none of this 'not calling for a week to play it cool' crap. He'd probably make whoever he was dating feel really special. Plus, for someone who was as rich and famous as him, he was remarkably down to earth and normal.
She smiled to herself and added to the pros list.

11. He's a gentleman
12. He'd be a very attentive boyfriend
13. He's down to earth

And even though it was already on the list, she added it again

14. I really like him

That's not me - I would NEVER waste coffee like that

I was feeling a little rough - the third drink was a bad idea, but the wonders of Advil have taken the edge off the headache, and all the other aches and pains from lugging round millions of boxes.
