A/N: I hope you like this chapter. Becca is about to realise that there are negatives in being with Chris...
****
Saturday 7.03am
Becca yawned for the thousandth time and took another sip of coffee - at some point it was bound to start working.
I should've asked the coffee shop guy to dump a couple of extra expresso shots in my Americano...
She yawned again.
God, why did I agree to go into work so early?
Her phone pinged.

Chris 🤪
Hey there - you awake?

Becs 📚
Well, I'm upright and my eyes are open, but I'm not sure I'd go as far as 'awake' yet 😴 🥱

Chris 🤪
Maybe this'll help...

Bloody hell, Chris! It's way too early for that sort of thing!

Chris 🤪
Did it wake you up? 😆😆

She laughed despite herself.

Becs 📚
I hate you - I hope you know that! 🤬🤬🤬

Chris 🤪
😆 Sorry, I couldn't resist

Becs 📚
Ha ha ha

Chris 🤪
So, have you left for work yet? I was thinking that I might pop round and see you before you leave...

Becs 📚
Sorry, I'm on the bus already 🚌

Chris 🤪
Oh, okay

Chris 🤪
Do you have any free time later - we could meet up somewhere for coffee? Or something to eat?

Becs 📚
Sorry, but I don't think I'm going to have time for anything like that ☹️ I'm just going to be really, really busy with the refit

Chris 🤪
What about tomorrow?

Becca frowned to herself.
What's going on? Why's he so keen to meet up?

Becs 📚
I think the whole weekend is going to be really busy. Sorry. I can't even say that we could get together when I finish work, because I've got no idea when that'll be

Chris 🤪
☹️

Becs 📚
Is everything okay?

Chris 🤪
What do you mean?

Becs 📚
Why so keen to meet up? Are you okay?

Chris 🤪
I'm fine, nothing to worry about. I just wanted to talk to you about something

Cryptic.

Becs 📚
Well you can talk to me now if you want. I'm on the bus, but you can still call.

Chris 🤪
No, it's fine. It's nothing important

Becs 📚
You sure?

Chris 🤪
I'm sure. It's nothing. It can wait.
