"I had a lot of fun with you tonight, honeybee." Chris gave Phoenix's hand a gentle squeeze. "I know I've been telling you this all night but you look absolutely stunning."

"We stan a man who wears sweaters in April." She responded jokingly while straightening out a wrinkle in his sweater. He really was the epitome of a sweater wearing dork but that was one of the reasons she thought he was so cool.

"What is stan?"

"Oh Chris..." Phoenix rolled her eyes at the man who laid next to her, fully clothed on top of her bed. "You have millions of followers on twitter and nobody told you what a stan was? I-"

"I've heard the term before, I just never knew what it meant." He said, chuckling. "I think I might have an idea, using context clues."

"Urban dictionary is your friend, Christopher."

Chris gave the back of her hand a kiss. "Why use urban dictionary when I have you?"

Phoenix let out a stupid giggle while looking out the huge window that took up almost the entire side wall. Even with Chris laying right beside her, she was thinking back to their second date which had just concluded not even half an hour ago.

They spent over 3 hours at an exclusive restaurant in downtown Atlanta before heading back to Phoenix's room. After finishing their meals, the pair lost track of time as they normally did in each other's presence. Most of the time was spent talking and making jokes and Phoenix was starting to dive deeper into her feelings for Chris. The more time she spent with him, the less their differences about marriage and kids seemed to matter to her.

Laying her head on his shoulder, Phoenix's eyes didn't leave the window. Chris took that as an opportunity to watch her intently and admire how lucky he was just to know her.

"I like you, Chris."

"Well I would hope so, we are kinda seeing each other." He replied with a light laugh. "Aren't we?"

Phoenix removed her head from his chest and sat up straight. Replaying his last sentence in her head once more, she made an attempt to determine her own personal definition of what it meant to be seeing somebody. In Phoenix's generation, what Chris called "seeing each other" was just simply called "talking." Although they weren't officially dating, she liked that they were actively hanging out and getting to know each other in person rather than just texting all the time. The fact that she genuinely enjoyed every moment she spent with him is what kept her coming back for more. It is what made her realize how unfortunate it'd be to live in a Chris-less world.

"I think so." Phoenix shrugged. "That's weird..."

"Ouch." Chris placed his hands over his heart and pretended to be hurt. "You've broken me, Phoenix. Must be the Sith in you."
