You Again (3)

Ok so as y’all have probably noticed I’ve been very much in my Chris feels lately and I just want to apologize really quick for the spam lol. Eventually the stories for him won’t be as frequent, however when that will be idk 😅. Hopefully you guys don’t mind though and again sorry for the spam!

Pairing: fratboi!Chris EvansxBlack Reader

⚠️: None💕!

“Ok so we talked about the basics like position and function, now I think we should add if there’s any diseases that affect it or what could happen if it’s damaged like with Phineas Gage and the iron rod,” Chris explains taking turns looking between you and his laptop screen.

“Oh, um yea that sounds good,” you respond slightly caught off guard from how well everything was currently going. You had your notes lying in front of you to make sure you were putting the correct information on the slides, but you honestly didn’t need them from Chris recalling everything, word for word, from memory as if he was a human textbook.

“What, surprised that I actually know something sweetheart?”

“No, I know you’re smart and have since we were little it’s just...you say and do dumb stuff sometimes, which can make some question that.”

Chuckling as he places his hand over his chest; you find yourself giggling as you’re immediately brought back to when you were kids. Even then, you thought his laugh was adorable and even tried to copy it, which Chris took the wrong way and thought you were making fun of him.

It was your first fight and you practically begged him as tears streamed down your face to understand that it was a good thing.

Seeing you cry then made him cry, and of course after hearing about two distraught kids on the playground, your teacher took both of you aside to try to figure out what happened. Long story short, it was a very eventful recess.

“Wris sing!,” his niece, Alana, excitedly announces running up to her uncle’s leg.

“Not right now Stink I’m working on something ok? Maybe later.”

“Tay,” she sighs, disappointment over her face as Chris picks her up to rest her head on his shoulder while he continues to type.

“Wait sing? You sing?” Sitting back in your seat with arms crossed over your chest, an amused expression covers your face.

“I mean not on the regular, she just likes this song and wants people to sing it with her so I’ll do it sometimes. But we’re working now so don’t get your hopes up about a full routine.”

“Actually I think we deserve a little break from all this excruciating work we’ve done. Don’t you Alana?”

“Yea!! Wris sing!”

“Yea c’mon Wris,” you smirk as she pulls his hand towards the play room. A large sigh escaping his pink lips, his eyes stay glued to you for a few extra seconds as if thinking of something before smiling at his niece as he stands from his chair to follow behind.

“You know what? Why don’t we have Y/N sing with us too?”

“Yay!!”

“Oh no, you don’t want to hear me sing. I’m sure you’d rather want your uncle.”

“Nonsense! The more the merrier right Stink?” Grabbing your hand, he leads you to the light pink playroom littered with various toys along the cream colored carpeted floor and books perched on white shelves lining the wall.

Turning on the small circular speaker sat on one of the shelves, upbeat music begins to fill the room as she bounces up and down clapping her hands. Walking up to his niece as he sings, he takes her small hand and twirls her around making her giggle.

“I'm telling you, darling

The minute you're calling

I'll be there in a hurry,

No matter how far

It could be to the stars

Yeah, I'll be there, don't you worry,

With you I stay fly

To the sky

With you I stay fly

To the sky”

Smiling as you watch them dance, you don’t know what surprises you more the fact that he actually sounded decent or that he was capable of doing something so cute and not annoying for once. Skipping over to you, Alana grabs your fingers pulling you over to their small group.

“Dance too!,” she giggles joining your hand with Chris’ as she holds onto both of your free hands making a circle with the three of you.

Lightly twisting along with her, all that can be heard over the music is all of your laughter and the occasional small thumping of her tiny feet hitting the floor after you and Chris lift her in the air.

Bending down, he picks Alana up holding her on one arm before twirling you with the other while she excitedly squeals. Making your way back around to face him, you momentarily lose your balance causing your body to press against his as you try to avoid stumbling.

“Careful sweetheart. You know you were always a bit clumsy,” he smirks making you roll your eyes before laughing at yourself.

“And what’s going on here?,” a voice asks from the doorway startling the both of you.

“Mommy!” Running up to the woman with similar features to Chris, Alana jumps into her arms kissing her on the cheek.

“Hey sweetie! Did you have fun with your uncle and his friend?”

“Sarah this is Y/N, we’re working on a project together so I invited her over.”

“Wait Y/N?! Oh my gosh it’s been so long!,” she smiles walking over to where you and Chris were standing. “I remember when you were a little girl playing with this pain over here. How’ve you been?”

“Good, just ready to graduate and be done with school.”

“Yea I bet, but you guys only have a month left so you’ll be done before you know it. Do you know what you want to do after?”

“Yea I’m hoping to be a nurse in the hospital or one of the clinics but then again we’ll see what happens.”

“Juice pwease!,” Alana interrupts with a smile making the three of you giggle.

“Alright sweetie it’s coming up. Were you guys gonna stay for dinner?”

“Nah maybe next time, I got a meeting to go to in a couple hours so we should get going. Bye stink!,” he answers tickling her sides. “Bye adult stink.”

“Be glad I’m holding a child right now,” she glares smacking his arm as he laughs. “Bye Y/N it was nice seeing you again and good luck with everything!”

“Bye pwetty!!,” Alana adds waving her hand.

“Thanks Sarah and bye Alana! Be good ok? Unless you’re with your uncle Chris then do whatever you want,” you smile making both of them giggle as Chris rolls his eyes.

———

“Trying out for Fast and Furious 13 are we?,” you ask as you enter the restaurant.

“Calm down I wasn’t going that fast.”

“Your foot was pressed so hard on the pedal I thought it was gonna go through the floor and you’d run the car yourself like Fred Flinstone.”

“And yet we still made it safe so you don’t have to worry your pretty little head about it sweetheart,” he smirks following you to the register.

“Aww look at you two! Me and my Harold fuss like that all the time,” a middle aged woman with glasses sitting at the bar smiles. “How long have you been dating?”

“Oh we’re-,”

“Six months and 10 days. But it feels longer which is crazy,” he interrupts putting an arm around your shoulders.

“Well I wish you guys many more months of happiness, and might I add you are a beautiful couple.”

“Thank you! I hope so too because heaven knows how I’d be if I lost her.”

“Yea I’d hate to be without him,” you fake smile as he kisses your temple. Collecting the last of her things, she hangs her purse on her shoulder before giving you both a final wave as she walks out the door.

“New rule,” you speak elbowing him in the side causing a small grunt to escape his lips before he chuckles. “Never do any of what you just did again. Now I need to disinfect my face when I get back to the room.”

“Jeez so violent,” he smirks rubbing his side. “This is how you show appreciation when I’m treating you to food?”

“Correction you treated me to a ride, but I can pay for myself.”

“I know you can, I’m just trying to pay you back for helping.”

“And I appreciate that but there’s no argument, I can get my own food,” you sarcastically smile.

“Yea there wasn’t an argument until you started one, like always,” he answers copying your expression.

“I don’t always start arguments-,”

“Oh my gosh Chris hi!” Turning towards the register, you see a familiar looking slender girl around your age carrying two red cups. Red hair pulled up in a ponytail, she rushes around the counter excitedly smiling as she places the cups down before wrapping her arms around his neck giving him a quick, yet very extra, hug. “That pool party was insane!”

“Ahh that’s where I’ve seen her from,” you thought as you stood listening to their conversation.

“I know right, we definitely gotta have another one soon. Oh Jessica this is Y/N, Y/N this is Jessica, you guys have probably seen each other around campus.”

“Yea I think I’ve-,”

“Hmm no I don’t think so, but anyway yes to another one!,” she interrupts immediately directing her attention back to Chris and making you silently laugh to yourself in disbelief. “Especially towards the end of the semester like maybe even after graduation!”

“You know that’s a good idea, I’ll talk to the boys about it and see what they say.”

“If it’s coming from you I’m sure they’ll say yes. Just make sure I’m invited.”

“Of course!,” he smiles making her blush as she twirls her hair with her index finger. Making eye contact with someone behind you, she removes herself from her trance before picking up the two cups now saturated with dew.

“Excuse me, I have to take these to a table really quick. I’ll take your order when I get back,” she smiles as she passes the both of you, purposely leaning more into Chris so she could graze her arm against his.

“Well she was nice,” you speak sitting in one of the empty barstools as you wait for her to return.

“Am I sensing a bit of jealousy?,” he asks propping one foot on the lower bar of your stool as he grabs the back railing, fingertips occasionally touching your back.

“You know what, yes I am jealous. Of the fact that she doesn’t have to be near you right now while I’m stuck here looking at your face.”

“First stalking now staring at my face?! I have to say I’m flattered.”

“Don’t be because I definitely have not, and will not, do any of those. Now I’m sure your little flirt buddy back there would happily do those for you.”

“I was not flirting, that was called being nice and charming.”

“Oh please, I was just about to ask should I leave with all her hair twirling and your ‘of course you’re invited, why wouldn’t I invite all available girls in the state?’,” you mock immitating both of their voices while scrolling through Instagram.

“Clearly you don’t know how flirting works so why don’t I demonstrate on you then?”

Looking up from your phone you’re met with crystal blue eyes peering down at you making you realize just how close you two actually were.

Inches from his chest, it was almost as if you could feel his cologne radiate off his skin with the slightest movement he’d make. His gaze becoming more intense the longer your eyes are locked together, it feels like you’ve been that way for minutes instead of only a few seconds as you slightly shift in your seat.

Even trying to talk now seemed impossible from your throat feeling like the Sahara desert at high noon.

“Huh would you look at that, she doesn’t have a comeback,” he smirks turning his attention from you to the sports headlines from ESPN scrolling across the television mounted high in the corner.

And just like that, Christopher “Party King” Evans had left you dumbfounded after taking away your power of always having the last word.

My Review

SummerSlam 2016 is one long ass show. I’m aware that’s a bit of a redundant statement because, in the age of the WWE Network, every show is long and, more often than not, they’re also ass. However, the point still stands: this show is a whopping 4 hours and it’s not something you can digest in one sitting on a rewatch. For the record, I totally support making the SummerSlams and Survivor Series and so on seem just as big and important as WrestleMania. It’s fine by me for WWE’s Big 4 to feature absolutely stacked cards. Unfortunately, in modern WWE, this approach also results in the shows running out of gas midway through and some of the matches going on way longer than they should. The 2016 edition of the summer classic isn’t exactly the worst example of this trend, but it definitely shows similar signs of fatigue.

On top of that, it’s such a heel-dominated show. It’s only occasionally satisfying. In their crusade to make the audience finally embrace Roman Reigns, the WWE would pile on the heel victories in hopes the crowd would pop like crazy once the Big Dog got the W in the main event. It’s inherently flawed psychology to think the crowd is just going to accept a long-awaited face win from just anybody. That can really only work in a particular situation. Needless to say, it often failed because while Roman would get the W, the crowd still hated him. Worse here is that he doesn’t even wrestle on this show. So who was this booking supposed to benefit? I guess you could make the argument for Finn Balor, whose Universal title win remains a highlight of his WWE tenure. Even then, it was rendered irrelevant 24 hours later, as Balor would vacate the title due to injury.

With all that in mind, it shouldn’t be surprising that such a heel-heavy show ends on a rather depressing note. Brock Lesnar pummels Randy Orton into a bloody mess and that’s it. That’s the show. Fade to black. It would’ve been fine if placed somewhere in the middle of the card, but it’s such an awkward way to close up shop. They did have a pretty workable story going into the match, and I’m not gonna pass up the rare occasion to see Orton get beaten into oblivion, but talk about deflating. The whole thing winds up looking like a pale imitation of Lesnar’s squash of John Cena back at SummerSlam 2014. Oh, and there’s some drama with Shane McMahon at the end because, as we all know, that’s exactly what the WWE needs: more McMahon family drama!

The far more successful dream match is John Cena vs AJ Styles. Truly something special. It’s essentially the same finishing move and near-fall spam fest that plagues every major WWE main event, but I don’t mind it here. This is meant to be an epic blockbuster between two of the biggest stars in wrestling of the post-Monday Night War era. It makes perfect sense for both guys to throw all of their deadliest ammunition at each other right out of the gate. Styles was in the midst of one of the hottest stretches of his career at this point, but Cena deserves just as much credit here. It’s kind of amazing. For all the times he’s proven that he can rise to the occasion in a big match situation, there are still anti-Cena bros to this day who’ll deny it every step of the way. His record of putting people over isn’t perfect, especially at SummerSlam, but what he does for AJ here is pretty selfless. I don’t think even his haters can deny that.

Overall, SummerSlam 2016 isn’t a bad show by any means but, again, the length ensures it will inevitably start to drag. A shame, because there’s probably a pretty good show somewhere in here. It’s nice that the WWE is trying to make the biggest party of the summer feel important, but too much partying can make even the most diehard fan eventually feel pooped. 

My Random Notes

I can only imagine what someone like Jon Stewart really thinks of WWE’s comedy. I mean, he’s probably had plenty of experience doing his best with bad material, but you’d have to think he had to grin and bear it here at several points.

In light of Sasha Banks’ recent spat with the company, I can really see why she’d be frustrated with her booking. Would it have killed them to have her hold the Women’s title for longer than a month? I know an injury is cited as the official reason she dropped the belt here, but it’s still the first of several instances of them yanking the rug out from under her.

Man, Enzo and Cass were so frickin’ over. They’re such laughing stocks now that it’s quickly become lost to time how much the fans were digging them. Of course, they only have themselves to blame for fucking it all up, but they really did have something special there for a bit. 

Dean Ambrose in his black torn shirt gives me some serious Bobby Heenan singlet vibes.

Funny how the pre-match hype package for Dean vs. Dolph centers so much around who Dolph Ziggler is because, as I’ve stated here previously, I still have no frickin’ idea who Dolph is supposed to be. He’s some anonymous hybrid of HBK, Mr. Perfect, Billy Gunn, and an ‘80s Trapper Keeper with literally no individuality. I find it ironic that he later got into a storyline where he kept changing gimmicks only to never find anything of his own. What a summary of his entire WWE career.

Hey, Balor may have had to surrender the title 24 hours later, but at least this meant him getting another run with the belt in the future, right? Right?!?

Man, Nikki Bella was so frickin’ over. Why does it feel like I’m repeating myself? In all seriousness though, people can hate on the Bellas all they want, but in no way should it be surprising that they still get big pops. They’ve done more for WWE’s mainstream visibility than a lot of other superstars allegedly have.

Speaking of Nikki, crazy to think that she’s only one in the six-woman tag to not hold the Smackdown Women’s title.

I can’t be the only one who felt a little kick to gut when they showed fans waiting outside the now-deceased Toys R Us. I don’t need another reminder that my childhood is dead.

When did Lana drop the accent? I don’t watch Raw and Smackdown weekly anymore, but it horrifies me to know I let this travesty pass me by.

I know some people were upset they allowed The New Day to surpass Demolition’s record for the longest reign as tag champs but I’m totally okay with the decision. Sure, they occasionally get into terrible storylines like this ringpostitis shit, but they’re incredibly over, sell a ton of merchandise, and can wring out some entertainment from even the worst material. If they really wanted to insult Demolition, they should’ve given that honor to The Ascension.

Introducing Daniel... (Chapter 1)

Family: noun A group consisting of two parents and their children living together as a unit.

You get two types of people in this world the lone wolf, and the family man. One who is comforted by the touch and presence of another.

Daniel Bowman was always labeled as a lone wolf, having never been seen with a girl or even labeled married. Being thirty three and not having a partner in life, people started to talk, though that never kept the woman from falling to his feet. Whether it was for the money or the Bowman name, they could care less if he was gay or not. Reason enough why he never dated. He was raised into a big family and he wanted one of his own but not the kind of family who loves the riches and run for the hills once it’s gone. Running multi billion companies, he never thought he had time nor did he think he deserved a family. His time was running out but there was just one problem, he didn’t want any girl. He wanted the one. The right one for him, the one who’s heartbeat matches his, the one who’s his rock and shoulder to cry on. The one who can light up his world with a simple smile. That’s the one, but he would never admit this. Why would he? He has and empire to run and a reputation to up hold. Some say he’s scared other’s say he’s too busy. Truth be told it’s a little of both. Busy he was, scared because of the money, oh yes. Money is the root of all evil and Daniel knew that like the back of his hand. He has experienced it first hand, he could easily be one of those cliche CEO’s, flashing their money and sports cars. But not even all the money in the world could fill the whole in his heart. In a world like this it is impossible finding the right one, but it is in the word itself. Possible.

Daniel was sitting in his office one faithful Sunday evening. Not that it counted as a weekend or restful day. To him it was just another day spent at his usual hang out, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day. His office. The 500x500 square meter space, all white and grey completely described Daniel. A big white desk near the window over looking the beautiful city of Johannesburg, two white chairs in front of his desk. On both the left and right, the walls were covered with tones of books and music plates as well as a gramophone, every inch of that office was more comforting than his childhood home itself.

It was not that he hated home, just seeing his sister Sophie, happy with her husband and son, he’d be lying if he said that he wasn’t feeling envious. What was he to do? He loved his nephew and he loved his entire family, but being successful with riches and work, he wished that he could have been successful when it came to love as well. But his father did leave him with a big chip on his shoulders, the business. Since Alec nor Sophie wanted to be that invested in the business , Daniel took it upon himself to make his father proud and raise the business higher. Working made him feel connected to his father. Somehow he would always wait for his father’s approval that didn’t come any more.

Daniel took it much harder when Conrad Bowman passed away. Conrad was very much like Daniel, hard worker, disappointment just wasn’t an option and they always gave their 110%. Daniel would do his work to the point of perfection and wait for his to come and give him a pat on the shoulder saying ‘Well done my son.’ and 'I am proud.’ and it made his day when it indeed happened. Not anymore. Conrad was gone along with his line of approval. But he was proud, of both his sons and daughter. He was the happiest man when he was alive and died with a smile on his face knowing his beloved and children would be perfectly fine. But were they really? Alec and Sophie continued on a positive note, or as positive as you can get for Alec since he found it comforting in numerous women’s beds. Sophie confided his her husband and son, treasuring every single moment with them. Claire Bowman had been left with riches and a big mansion, every ounce of that place haunting her with the spear image of her late husband. She lost her one true love but for the children’s sake she had to keep her head held high.

As for Daniel, he had struggled putting foot back into his parent’s house. The memories in that house was just too painful and Daniel did the most mundane thing, threw himself into work. But that wasn’t all, he found music. Sweet sweet music, like Bach and Mozart. It was strange for a soul so sad and broken to be listening to something so sweet but it gave him a sense of emotion he craved. One thing that attracted people towards him was no matter how broken and sad he was, he could never be rude or cold towards others. Why should he? To burden them with his problems? No. They had their own to deal with.

Daniel took a break from work sighing, something that never happened. It was always strictly work, but at that moment Daniel was just exhausted. It was already past midnight and the office was dark except for little lamp on his desk, the only light in the office. Taking a sip of water he opened his email seeing his nephew sent him a link to one of his you-tubers as he called it. Matthew always said that Daniel needed to check her out. Apparently she had incredible talent along with passion and beauty. Daniel debated but eventually did it since he loved the 14 year old.

The video started off with the beautiful girl introducing herself as Annabelle Parker. She started talking about a new cover she has been working on and then sat in front of her piano. Daniel immediately recognized the song, it was Prelude and Fugue in C major by Johann Sebastian Bach. One of Daniel’s favorite pieces. And in an instant Daniel’s attention was captured. He loved the way she played. The she moved as the music spoke to her. He just knew one thing. He needed to know her. But how? He could track her down but then he would look like a stalker. No he couldn’t do that. He could however subscribe her video and just keep watching her. No that sounded more ridiculous. He shook his head running a hand through his hair. He was being ridiculous it was just a girl and music. Yes she was like a siren, her music and he could bet her voice would and could just hypnotize every single inch of him. The brunette just clued herself to his thoughts.

Shaking his thoughts away he saw the next email that almost made him shrink. Seeing it was from the Academy of Creative Arts. Daniel owns half of the shares of this college and he was more than willing to invest in it especially because it was the arts. The reason he was conflicted of this email was because of a vivid woman. Mrs. Call. Mrs. Call is the owner of the other shares and she is also more involved as she is headmistress of the school. That annoyed Daniel as he gets constant emails a day from her with no relevant reason towards the school. It was always to accompany her somewhere, sure it doesn’t sound that bad, only once when Daniel did say yes however, he was shocked at the married and very flirtatious woman who tried to seduce him. Daniel made it clear he was not interested. She misunderstood and divorced r husband two weeks later hoping Daniel would take notice in her, unfortunately for her, he never changed his mind. So she got married for the third time six months later. Daniel was much relieved and felt sorry for her current husband as he was too in love to notice her getting around.

He chose to ignore his inner battle and opened the email not knowing that it would change his whole life.

To: Daniel@Bowmandindustries.com From: CharlotteCall@ACA.com Date: 2 November 2016 Time: 22:30pm

Dear Mr. Bowman,

I would like to inform you of our third year students yearly recital this coming week. Inviting all their family and friends to listen and watch their progress and give us feedback on satisfaction etc. This year’s event will take place at our Theatre on the Bay in Camps Bay, Cape Town. We would appreciate it if you could attended seeing as you are our other founder. The event will take place on the 5th November 2016 at 19:00 pm.

Please RSVP as soon as possible. With love

Charlotte Call Headmistress, founder and owner of the Academy of Creative Arts.

Daniel only now saw the email was sent three nights ago, how could he not see the email. Oh right, it was in the spam box. His bad. Since it was technically already the day of the recital he had to reply fast. Lucky for him he lived in Johannesburg, meaning it would be merely a few hours flight from there to Cape Town.

To: CharlotteCall@ACA.com From: Daniel@Bowmandindustries.com Date: 5 November 2016 Time: 00:30am

Greeting Mrs.Call,

I do apologize for the delay. I kindly accept your invitation.

Regards Daniel Bowman Owner, founder and CEO of Bowman industries.

Daniel shut his laptop and decided that it would be wise to head home, being in his office was now starting to suffocate him. Daniel packed his laptop in his suitcase and made his way to his office door. Locking it behind him he walked towards the elevator, pressing the button to the lobby. As he rode the elevator too many things clouded his mind. His father, work and Mrs. Call. He sighed and shook his head, that woman was repulsive he thought. She would leave her husband, the man who worshiped at her feet for a fling with Daniel. That disgusted him. When you marry you make a life long commitment, that person becomes your other half and more. She was reason enough why Daniel was scared. Woman wanted him for the wrong reasons and for that he felt cursed.

The elevator dinged, breaking his train of thoughts, signalling that he had arrived on the ground floor. Daniel stepped out giving a nod in greeting to the janitor. Always treat the janitor with the same respect you receive. His father told him when he was entering the business as a teenager. Exiting the building Daniel greeted his driver/ bodyguard Travis and got into the car. 

“Where to sir?” Travis asked his boss.

 “Home please Travis.” Daniel said rubbing his eyes. Daniel leaned his head back closing is eyes. It was just to relax but instead he fell into a deep slumber.
