"I can't believe we only have 2 weeks left." Phoenix tilted her head back until it rested against the wall in Tom's trailer. "These last 6 months have flown by."
"They have." He agreed. "But honestly, I am looking forward to this month long break between this film and the next avengers. I don't think I've ever shot a movie back to back like this. I am exhausted."
"I can only imagine. What are you going to do with your time off?"
"Go back home and hangout with my family." Tom answered. "Do you remember when I told you I would take you to see Hamilton again in London? They're going to be in there in August if you still wanted to-"
"Uh YES." She interrupted. "For one, I've never been to London and two, I would never say no to Hamilton?"
"You've never been to London?! Wow, I've got a lot to show you."
"Sounds like fun."
"It does, doesn't it?"
"Do you ever wonder what's going to happen to us after filming wraps completely?" Phoenix asked randomly.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll be in London, I'll be in Los Angeles." She clarified. "It'll be so weird going from seeing you everyday to maybe once every few months."
"I'm in L.A. a ton for work. I know I'll be seeing you more than once every few months. Plus we have texting and FaceTime so I'm not worried." He assured. "But what are you and Chris going to do?"
Phoenix shrugged. "Who knows?"
"If I'm being honest, that's not really a good answer Phoenix... you two are actually dating now. I'd probably be smart to figure it out before that time comes."
"I already have to hear that from everybody else and now you too." She rolled her eyes.
"If everybody is saying it, maybe you should start listening."
Phoenix forced a smile before standing up. "I'm gonna go check on Chris. I'll catch you later Thomas."
Of course, she knew hers and Chris's living situation was something they needed to discuss WHEN THE TIME CAME and fortunately, that was a good ways away. Because the Russo's already let Phoenix know she'd be coming back for the 4th avengers film, she still had plenty of time to figure out what needed to be done. The next avengers wasn't set to wrap until January of the following year, which was 8 months away! Why focus on who is going to move where so early on when that energy could be spent building the relationship and getting to know each other more?
After making it to Chris's trailer, Phoenix poked her head in to find him reading a book on politics. "Hiiii."
"Hi!" Chris greeted with a smile. "Come in honeybee."
"Okay." She replied before fully entering and taking a seat right next to him.
"What have you been doing?"
"Running around then talking to Tom for a bit; same as always."
"Same as always." He grinned. "Well I have a proposal for you."
"Go for it."
"You know, we've only got a couple weeks left here and I've been thinking."
"About?"
"I want you to come stay with me in Boston for a few days after your sister's wedding."
"You want me to stay with you in Boston?" Phoenix repeated enthusiastically. She'd been dying to see how Chris lived when he wasn't spending most of his time on set and memorizing lines. In a way, she felt that getting out of Atlanta and exploring their everyday lives was exactly what they needed to put things into prospective; to make their relationship actually feel real. "While we're on this subject, I would love for you to stay with me in L.A. for a couple days before the wedding."
"Hmm."
"But I understand if you're too busy or if you already have plans."
"I make my plans around you and us. I don't try to fit you in around plans I've already made. You've got my undivided attention honeybee." Chris kissed her forehead. "I'd love to stay with you; and it'll be nice to see what a normal day in the life of Darth Phoenix is like."
"Imagine the sleepovers we could have." Phoenix spoke while running her hand up Chris's thigh only for him to grip her wrist.
"Don't start something you can't finish babe."
"There's a lot of things I can't finish but you are not one of them babe."
Chris sighed and leaned farther back into his seat as Phoenix continued to run her hand up and down his inner thigh. "There are so many things I want to do to you right now. You just don't understand."
"I was thinking the exact same thing."
"You're gonna get me in trouble."
"Am I?" She asked quietly after resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm not doing anything."
"Come here." Chris commanded as he pulled Phoenix onto his lap. With her straddling his hips, he dropped his hands to her butt and slowly pressed his lips onto hers. Almost immediately after pulling away, something caught Phoenix's attention.
"Look." She pointed at the medium sized black spider that was crawling up the wall a couple feet away from where they sat which caused Chris to jump.
"Oh my god!" He yelped. He tried his best to contain his emotions to no avail and scooted all the way to the end of the couch to be as far away from the wall as possible, with Phoenix still on his lap. Not only were spiders were his biggest fear but he was also grossed out and disgusted by them in general. They made his skin crawl and he wanted absolutely nothing to do with those 8 legged freaks.
"Are you scared of spiders?" Phoenix asked with amusement.
"Define scared."
"Oh Chris." She stood up after kissing him one last time. "Do you want me to kill it?"
"Yes please."
She put her hand out, as relaxed and calm as ever while her boyfriend freaked out. "Give me your shoe."
Chris obliged and took his left shoe off. He then tossed it to Phoenix; it was either tossing it from afar or getting close enough to his girlfriend, who was standing next to a fucking spider, to hand it to her.
It didn't even take Phoenix 2 seconds before she effortlessly smashed the spider with Chris's size 11 shoe.
Chris couldn't help but to be turned on as he watched her pick up the dead body with a napkin and throw it in the trash can.
"Hand sanitizer?"
"Right there." Chris replied with a point, not once taking his eyes off of his girl. "I am so very lucky to have you."
"I'll protect you forever." Phoenix spoke while rubbing hand sanitizer all over her hands. "From spiders and anything else you're scared of."
Chris smiled. "I guess we know who wears the pants in this relationship and it's definitely not me."
