director: all right that's a wrap for everyone!! please everyone go home i'm sorry but i'm sick of your faces!
we all cheer and i hug matt. he picks me up off my feet. i hug everyone goodbye one last time and get myself dressed out of costume in my trailer for the final time. i see a familiar car with a familiar guy leaning against it.
me: babe!
chris: happy wrap day!!
i jump in his arms and he hugs my tightly and spins me around.
chris: i got you flowersssss
me: awwww chris you didn't have to
chris: oh but i did. would m'lady like to go to the grocery store with me to buy her a cake for her accomplishments?
me: yes she would
we get in the car and he once again has a hand on the steering wheel and the other on my thigh. i had on a plain white top i had cropped myself and some black leggings. we get to the store and walk in hand in hand. we walk to the cake aisle and i feel chris's hand come down the small of my back.
?: chris??
chris: chloe?
chloe: hey! oh my gosh it's so good to see you
i look over and see this girl. she is horrendous. except she isn't. she is beautiful. long brown hair, tanned skin, green eyes. she had such good teeth and a cute laugh. she was every thing i was insecure about.
chris: oh chloe this is y/n, y/n this is chloe he introduced me, he had a tone of worried in his voice
chloe: hi! she says sweetly, so nice to meet you! so you two friends?
i look over at chris and give a nervous laugh.
chris: actually, his hand trails down to mine, we are dating
chloe: oh! interesting
i laugh out uncomfortable-ness and i notice her eyes trailing all up and down chris's body. i place my head against his body and ask a question
me: so how do you two know each other
chris tried to speak but she cuts her off
chloe: oh we dated for like what was it evans 2 years?
i look up and chris is red in the face, looking at the ground
chloe: hey i actually have a question for you chris, uh in private
chris: whatever you have to ask you can say in front of y/n
chloe: it's a business thing. top secret
me: it's okay chris. i will be picking out a cake! so nice meeting you i politely add to this completely totally awkward conversation
chris plants a kiss on my forehead and they walk off together and around the corner. i let out a deep sigh and i cant find a good cake. they all say "it's a girl!" or "happy birthday!" i decide to find just some regular cake mix and before i turn the corner i couldn't help but eavesdrop
chris: chlo stop it
chloe: what chris? that girl is not for you. i-i'm still in love with you
chris: yea well maybe you should've thought about that before you slept with another guy. and i walked in on it happening.
chloe: people make mistakes!
chris: and some can't be forgiven. i love y/n
chloe: why chris? you can do so much better she groans
chris: because she is everything you weren't. she's selfless a-and kind.
chloe: come on chris you know what i mean. look at her!
chris: she is the most beautiful woman i've ever met. now please, for the love of god, leave me alone
i hear footsteps start to walk away before she yells after him
chloe: what does she do for you that i can't? i had you all wrapped around my finger i got you to watch all the shows and movies i loved you met my family
chris: no that's it. you having me all "wrapped around your finger" is what was wrong. and for the record, i hated greys anatomy because i was watching it with you. and now i enjoy it, because she does.
oh my god i thought to myself.
chloe: do you get deja vu when your with her chris?
chris: what?
chloe: that was the show we talked about. i bet you even play uptown girl for her her voice sounds like it's breaking
chris: what do you not get? you cheated on me. and no, i don't get deja vu because i tried to block you out of my brain.
chloe: she is gonna screw you over chris. and i won't be here to catch you when you fall
chris: she won't. she's not you
i finally had enough and wipe some tears from my eyes and walk around the corner
me: sorry to interject but all the cakes kinda suck so chris, you wanna come get cake mix with me?
chris: yes, yes i do
i smile and walk down the shopping aisle to take chris's hand. i turn back to give the girl one last glance and she is already giving me the deaths stare. i smile at her out of spite and chris and i quickly turn the corner.
chris: i'm sorry y/n
me: no hey hey it's okay. i uh heard most of that
chris: let's just get the mix and go
me: oh okay here i'll go get some wine. you get vanilla mix and frosting
chris: okay i'll meet you at the register
me: okay
we part our ways and i make my way to the wine aisle and i get stopped by the girl. i know she has a name, i just can't bear to say it.
chloe: you heard all of that didn't you?
me: uh yeah i did
chloe: well know i meant everything i said. every word.
me: well it sounded like you cheated on the best man i've ever known
chloe: you don't deserve him
me: i know i don't. but i do everything in my power to be good to him
chloe: does he tell you your the most beautiful girl he's ever seen? all that eternal love bullshit he will never ever mean
me: please leave us alone
chloe: you know i wish you all the best. i hope he is happy. just not like he was with me.
me: you're selfish
chloe: i know, i can't let him go
i grab two bottles of wine and quickly walk away. i meet chris at the register and we stand silent. we walk out into the car and he lets out a deep breathe and i just start laughing my ass off.
me: oh i- i- i'm sorry i say in between giggles i ha-have really b-bad re- reactions to this stuff oh my god! i'm sorry! i laugh
chris starts to laugh with me and eventually the car goes quiet. he just starts the car and drives away. we sit in the car and eventually pull in the driveway. again still silent, we get out of the car and into the house. i plop onto the couch and i see chris lean against the counter. i break the silence
me: she's pretty
chris: not like you y/n he runs over to me and sits down
me: please chris. just stop it. how can i even compare to her? i'm picking her apart in my brain and i want to say she's ugly but i can't. she looks kind. she probably gives you butterflies
chris: no no no. y/n she cheated on me. i cant even look at her anymore. but you i- i cant stop looking at you
me: chris i love you so much
chris: i love you more
me: that's impossible i laugh
chris: hmm i don't think so he smirks
i let out a deep breathe and close my eyes. i look back into his deep blue eyes and place my hand against his slightly scruffy cheek. i kiss him with compassion. his tongue explores the familiarity of my mouth. i pull away and push my forehead against his nose.
me: let's bake a cake
chris: okay love i see his smile
