❝So, what are the first signs of love?❞
❝Well, one of them is when your heart starts beating uncontrollably in front of the person you admire dearly and deeply.❞

In which Chris Evans is...
Chris do you want me to drop you off at the airport tomorrow?
Naomi chris, hey that's alright i'll just call for a cab
Chris you know i don't mind driving you to the airport, right?
Naomi i know you don't but would that really be advisable for the both of us right now? READ 9.15PM
Chris can i ask you something, naomi? and if you choose to respond, can you be honest with me?
Naomi i think i know what you're about to ask. . . MESSAGE DELETED sure.
Chris why did you say we were just friends that night?
Naomi are we really going to talk about this right now?
Chris you know we can't ignore the elephant in the room, naomi. we can't just ignore it and pretend like nothing happened when something actually did happen.
Naomi because we are just friends, chris. we've always been friends.
Chris i know we've been friends for some time now but are you really going to tell me that you don't at least feel something for me? you said i can't love you. you said i should stop texting you before you start to fall for me. friends don't say these things to each other. and friends don't write notes on napkins and slide it across the table to the other person.
Naomi i know what i said, chris. but what do you want to hear? that i love you, too? well, you just got it because i do. i love you but i can't. and you can't love me. you deserve someone better, someone more stable, someone with lesser problems.
Chris why can't you see that i want you, naomi? all of you. the good and the bad. the beautiful and the ugly.
Naomi because you shouldn't want me. i'll only weigh you down and i'll only be a burden to you, another broken thing to fix.
Chris you're not broken and you're certainly not a burden. i love you, naomi. you're never going to be a burden to me. you're not a broken thing. yes, you probably have a broken heart but that doesn't make you broken. not to me.
Naomi how do you know that my heart's been broken before?
Chris judging by how you keep pushing me away when all i want to do is hold you and tell you how much i love you.
Naomi you have no idea how badly i want you to hold me and tell me that you love me. that christmas night almost seemed like a dream to me, especially when you told me you love me. i woke up the next morning, wondering if it was all a dream until i saw that small note you left on my bedside table. MESSAGES DELETED please, chris. . . let's not go there.
Chris we need to talk about this, naomi. you can't expect me to pretend like nothing happened, like you and i don't feel anything for each other. . . like you and i don't love each other.
Naomi chris, please. . . can we talk about this when i get back from london?
Chris i know you, naomi. when you get back from london, i know you're not gonna want to talk about this anymore and you'll probably just sweep this under the rug. i can't let you sweep this under the rug. i need you to know that i love you.
Naomi it's times like this where i wish you didn't know me so well. what if i promise to talk about this once i'm back from london?
Chris i know you'll go back on your word.
Naomi what do you want me to say, chris? say yes to being your girlfriend? say yes to moving in with you so that we can make pancakes in the morning and go to bed after downing a few glasses of wine? i wish my life was that simple. but it's not. there are nights where i crawl into bed, crying my eyes out because i miss my dad and even my mum at times. there are mornings where i'm in such a bad mood that i won't leave the house until i finally get my shit together. i can't put you through all this. i can't let you see this side of me.
Chris you don't always have to be so strong, naomi. there are definitely going to be days where you're going to feel like the entire world is resting on your shoulders, and there are also gonna be days where you'll hope for the ground to crack wide open and swallow you whole. i know how it feels and i want you to know that you'll never have to be alone on this again. i want you to know that i'm always going to hold your hand and walk through every fire and storm with you, no matter what. and when you're having your best days, i'm also gonna be there for you, holding your hand as we walk through the garden together.
Naomi chris. . . i want to believe you. i really do. but you've already seen me at my worst. i don't know if it's ever going to get any worse than that because things at home are unpredictable, and the thing with my mum still haunts me till today.
Chris when you're ready. when you're ready, i'll be here to listen. when you screamed for your mom the other day, i knew something was up but i didn't want to ask you because i knew that it would be best for you to tell me only when you're ready. and even if you choose to never tell me about it, that's okay because i love you, naomi jane lindberg. i won't ever do something that will go against your wishes. and i know that i'm going against your wishes now by bringing this thing up but we really need to talk about us because you're worth fighting for.
Naomi why would you still want me after all this? MESSAGE DELETED you make it so hard for me to not love you. . .
Chris i want all of you, naomi. i want your problems and your messy hair in the mornings. i want to see you twirl around in your dresses for an hour because you simply cannot decide which one to wear for dinner. i want to see you sip on your cup of tea with your eyes closed as you sway around in my living room. i want to be there when you have a nightmare that just won't go away because that's not going to make me run for the hills. that makes me want to care for you for the rest of my life, love you for the rest of my life. that makes me want to hold you in my arms, hoping that i can somehow take your pain away because i don't want you shouldering every burden on your own.
