9PM The same day

Valerian swung the pan, hoping that it would collide with the intruder. Unfortunately, she was apprehended and somehow pinned to the wall behind, her arms (and pan) raised above her head and held in an iron-like grasp, forcing her to be unable to move. She was about to try and struggle when she realised who had attacked. "Chris?" she said in disbelief.

Yes, dear Readers, it was Chris Pratt who had crept into the house late at night.

"Valerian?" he suddenly pulled away, releasing her from the wall. "I thought that you were with Sebastian on set?"

"I thought that you were a burgular!" She placed the pan on the table. "Why were you creeping around?"

"Like I said, I thought you were with Sebastian, which is why I crept in. The light was on and I assumed someone had broken in."

Valerian's mobile continued to whistled, someone was texting her. Sebastian. She quickly seized it and read through his string of concerned messages, quickly she typed back:

To: Seb

From: Val

Don't come home, I'm okay! Chris just came back, that's why I didn't reply. I'm good now, I'll just stay at home with him. You get finished up on set and I'll see you soon. Don't worry about the whole Jason thing, I'll deal with him when you get back. Don't forget, I love you. X

To: Val

From: Seb

You really know how to make a guy worry. Yeesh, I thought that something had happened to you. Well, only if your sure and Chris is okay with it. I won't be long. And yeah, I'll deal with Jason when I get back. Don't you worry about that. I know you do and I love you too. Stay safe. X

To: Seb

From: Val

You too. Don't go and hit your head and get amnesia or anything. X

To: Val

From: Seb

Amnesia? Why on Earth would I get Amnesia? X

To: Seb

From: Val

You may fall from a platform or something, hit your head and then believe that you are your character. X

To: Val

From: Seb

I highly doubt that I am going to start believing that I am Bucky Barnes. X

To: Seb

From: Val

It might happen. X

To: Val

From: Seb

I doubt that but if it makes you feel any better, then I'll be careful. X

To: Seb

From: Val

Thank you. X

To: Val

From: Seb

Even though, I know you fantasise about living with Bucky. X

To: Seb

From: Val

I do not! X

To: Val

From: Seb

Sure you don't. Anyway, I'll talk to you later, sweetheart. Speak soon. X

To: Seb

From: Val

I don't and definitely speak soon, handsome. I'll be waiting for your call. X

"Hey, Valerian, do you have a first aid kit?"

Valerian tore her eyes away from her mobile phone screen and averted her gaze to Chris, the brunette's eye immediately settling on the bleeding cut on his cheek. "How'd you..."

"It would seem that the pan caught me as I tried to stop you from smashing me across the head with it."

Her mouth formed an 'O' shape. "I am so-"

"Look, don't worry about it. I just need a first aid kit or a band aid, a band aid would be helpful." he smiled at her and the winced, regretting using his facial muscles.

Valerian left her phone beside the offending frying pan, walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a first aid kit. "Just sit at the table, I'll clean out the wound for you."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded. "It's no problem, really." she stood in front of him and began dabbing the cut with an alcohol rub.

"Ow."

She smiled at him, sypathetically. "Sorry."

"It's okay." he winced again. "So, I got a text from Evans on the way over here, he said that you two had gotten engaged. Congratulations." he smiled.

"Thanks."

"He's a lucky man, you know."

"I'm a lucky woman too."

Chris sighed, glancing at the ground. "Yeah, you two are very lucky to have each other."

The heroine sensed some melancholy energy. "Chris, did something happen between you and your...lady friend? I mean something serious, not just a misunderstanding."

Chris's jaw tightened and his eyes lost their jolly gleam and instead a coldness filled them. "I'd rather not talk about her, if you don't mind."

"But, Chris, I just-"

Suddenly, he stood up. "I need to...um..." he abruptly left the room, leaving behind a very confused Valerian.

To: Y

From: X

They're engaged.

To: X

From: Y

How sickeningly sweet.

To: Y

From: X

Still wanting Part Two?

To: X

From: Y

Damn, yes. I want Valerian Cassanova.
