Chris felt like throwing his phone when he saw yet another mean comment about Denise appear under his latest tweet. He knew it was jealousy but it didn't stop him from being angry. He wished he'd just kept his mouth shut until Denise graduated so the scrutiny and ridicule wouldn't affect her studies. She'd assured him numerous times it hadn't and wouldn't but he was still worried.

Denise had to admit it was a little frustrating but it wasn't something she didn't see coming. She'd been a fan of his for a while now so she knew what his previous girlfriends went through, she was prepared for whatever the public had planned to throw her way. While it was because of Chris, it was also because of the ladies in her life. Specifically, her mom and soon-to-be mother-in-law who constantly reminded her she wasn't at all what they were saying about her. It also helped that she'd accumulated a solid group of friends and fans over her years on Tumblr, who- to her surprise- swore they'd defend her despite her being with their beloved Christopher Robert Evans. It seemed her series swayed them as it had Chris, they were just happy Chris was going to finally get the life and love he deserved with a girl who deserved just as much.

Chris' phone buzzed as another comment popped up, he was about to turn off his phone when he saw that it was one of his fans defending Denise from the previous remark. He smiled because there seemed to be more in support of his relationship with her than against, so perhaps he didn't really have all that much to complain about. His publicist was in agreement about not complaining as she was using his successful relationship with a fan to humanize him. She said, and he quote, "Chris Evans, all round nice guy with a heart so pure he falls in-love with the soul and not a status."

He wasn't particularly happy about her using Denise to humanize him because that wasn't what their relationship was about; he truly loved her. But Denise was because she wanted people to know how real and genuine Chris was, to see him as more than just Captain America. She wanted people to see him as she did: underrated actor, transcendent director, amazing fiancé, and soon-to-be perfect husband and fantastic father. Her expectations may have seemed a little high to others, but she knew for a fact they weren't unrealistic at all.

"I feel like this is my fault," Anthony held out the latest copy of People Magazine for Chris to take, who did it and sighed upon seeing another headliner about his relationship. "I am so sorry, man. I should have never said anything." Chris waved him off, shrugging. "Did you at least tell Denise it was my fault?" Anthony quizzed and got a head shake from Chris. "But I was the one who spilled the beans, I was the big mouth who said 'bet you're excited to get back to that fiancée of yours' when you mentioned her name."

"Yes you are, but she doesn't need to know that. She won't hold a grudge against me, but she might against you and we don't want that considering you've just met each other." Chris said and Anthony nodded in agreement, sighing at his negligence of keeping their engagement a secret. "She's a big fan of yours, but-"

"She's an even bigger fan of you," Anthony rolled his eyes and Chris nodded, chuckling. "Yeah yeah, we've all read the damn series where you're just the perfect guy." Anthony tried to be annoyed, but he couldn't knowing how happy his friend was with Denise. "The kid really needs to stop putting you up on a pedestal and see you for the slob you really are."

"Jealousy will get you nowhere, Mackie," Chris joked and Anthony laughed. "At least she looks pretty in the picture," Chris sighed with a smile when he let his gaze fall onto the magazine. The photo was a paparazzi shot of Denise leaving school with the headline 'Chris Evans' fiancée, Denise Hogan, star pupil at UCLA'. "God, can't they just leave her alone?" Chris groaned, flipping open the magazine to check out the article. He was annoyed but he was also curious. "I know she's interesting, but do they really need to write an article about her?"

"It's a pretty good article, paps invading her privacy aside." Anthony told Chris as he took Robert's chair which was next to Chris. "They talk about her in school, the course she's taking, and how they can see why you're so smitten with her. It's not one of those articles where she's berated for how she looks, or what's she wearing. It's an actual intellectual journalist taking proper interest in the girl Chris Evans is with."

"How rare," Chris quipped with a chuckle then proceeded to read the article whereas Anthony headed for his trailer as he was done for the day. Chris read the first paragraph and realized Anthony was right about it being a good article. The whole thing praised his girl. It called her "a girl with big dreams and even bigger talents," as well as his "forever." He smiled because he agreed, she was his forever. So what if some of his 'fans' didn't support the relationship? He had those who actually saw her for who she was, seeing how successful this relationship was going to be despite the age gap and the difference in social status- not that it mattered considering where she was going to end up once she graduated.

His phone started buzzing under his leg and he put the magazine on Robert's chair while he reached to answer the call. He smiled when he saw Denise's name and picture pop up on the screen, he found himself admiring her beautiful smile for a little while before he answered. He was missing her, that was for sure. "Good evening, my love." He greeted and heard her giggle, making his smile reach his eyes. "Aren't you in a very good mood," he chuckled, "what's going on?"

"Nothing, I just like hearing you call me your love," she admitted and he chuckled again. "Are you filming, am I disturbing you?" She quickly asked before she continued talking, knowing she'd get him in trouble if he was due. It wasn't like she had anything important to tell him, she just wanted to chat and hear his voice.

"No, I'm free," he answered. "I'm never not free for you."

"You keep saying that and Kevin's going to hate me and fire you," she giggled, making him laugh. "But I appreciate it, it's good to hear your voice." She told him and he smiled, silently agreeing that it was good to hear hers too. "I've been listening to it for the past hour, but it's still good to hear it."

"What do you mean you've been listening to it for the past hour?"

"Anna's podcast," she told him. "You and Jenny could not be more obvious with the fawning," she teased him and he rolled his eyes. "Do we sound like that when we talk?" She quizzed, but didn't give him time to respond. "God, no wonder Luca calls us insufferable. She says it with a smile so we think she's joking, but if we sound like that- I don't think she's joking."

Chris could honestly listen to Denise ramble on about nothing, bombard him with her random thoughts and queries forever, and not get bored. There was just something about her that kept him entertained, so much so that he could even give up Sunday football for that. Now that thought assured him she was his one true love, 'cause nothing was more important than football and Tom Brady- nothing until her, of course.

"I love you," Chris chuckled, cutting Denise's rambling short.

She smiled at his sincerity, a little heat even rushed to her cheeks. "I love you too, baby." He smiled back, then chuckled, still in awe she was his fiancée. "And I can't wait for these next thirty weeks to be over so I can be with you again."

"Oh, so we're counting weeks now?" Chris quizzed with an amused smirk, then chuckled when she noised confirmation. "Yeah, I gotcha. For some reason when we used months it seemed as though we added time." She nodded with pursed lips. "Okay then, thirty weeks it is. I can't wait to be reunited with you, my love," he said with a smile that could be heard.

"The feeling is mutual," she agreed.
