Here Goes Nothing

Chapter 9: Reunited?

Chris' POV.

A dream.

A motherfucking dream.

Fuck. I should've known.

Carson's POV.

"Carson! Go get me a coffee, will ya?"

I walked over to my boss, rolling my eyes. "From where?"

"Starbucks, and make it quick. I have a film to direct."

"Yeah whatever." I snatched the 5$ bill out of his hand.

"Stop it with that attitude missy, and bring me back my change!" 

"I won't." I said walking away. 

Jesus Christ, what a dick, I thought as I headed for Starbucks. It was only 5 blocks from the studio so I usually walked.

 "Hey Carson!" I heard Ben call as I walked through the door. Ben worked at the cash register, I came here so often we got to know each other and now we're on a first name basis.

"Hi Ben, can I get a large black coffee?" 

"That'll be 3.25."

"Here ya go. Keep the change, I don't want my dick-boss getting it."

He laughed, "Is he ever not a dick to you?"

"Um.. let me think. NO. I swear, the back of his director's chair should read "Dick Head"."

"I feel your pain. My boss is a dick too."

"Huh, I wonder if it's tradition to be a dick when you're boss."

"I bet it is... So, hey. Are you busy tonight?"

"Uh, if you call sitting on your ass watching tv busy, then yes."

"Well would you mind rescheduling so I could take you out for an amazing night of bowling?" He smiled.

Woah. Did he just ask me on a date?

"Ben I'm ugly. Why would you want to take me out?"

"You're not ugly! And I don't know. Because you're not ugly."

"Hmmmmmmmmmm."

"Come on Carson. Please. For me?" He pulled a puppy dog face on me.

I have to admit, it was adorable. He was adorable. With his big brown eyes and amazing lips and that adorably messy hair and those dimples and that eyebrow piercing.

"Well I guess I could sit on my ass tomorrow night. Okay Ben, you've got a date."

"Yes! I'll pick you up at 6." He smiled again. 

God, he was really cute. How come I didn't notice earlier?

6pm.

 I heard the doorbell ring and I checked the peephole to see who it was. Ben was here! I hoped I didn't look too ugly. I actually attempted to make myself pretty, eyeliner and everything but my outfit was pretty casual. Skinny jeans, toms, beatles t-shirt. Meh, it would have to do, I couldn't go change now.

I took a deep breath and opened the door. 

"Hey! You look nice." Ben said, as he grinned.

"Thanks, you too." 

He was wearing a faded looking grey t-shirt with some weird logo on it and his hair was made into a really messy fohawk. He looked hot actually.

"Shall we leave, my lady?" He gestured for me to step out.
