"I'm telling you man, I swear I've got her this time. Promise!" Robert said, sitting in front of Chris with his right hand over his heart like he was making an oath. They were sitting in one of the booths around the edge of the club that the meeting Robert had mentioned earlier was taking place, and Rob was desperately trying to convince Chris that he had actually made a good choice this time.

As per usual, there was obvious scepticism on Chris' face as Rob waited for a response, but all Robert really got was a raised eyebrow and a 'You're seriously trying this again?' face.

"Come on… Will you at least meet her? I brought you a present." Rob argued with Chris' silence. That guy needed to get laid, seriously, but he was too much of a gentleman for a one night stand so here was Robert, trying to help out his co-star and buddy. He was such a good friend. Sometimes he himself didn't know how he did it.

When Chris went to take the box from Robert, it was quickly rescinded. "Uh, uh, uh. You're not getting a crumb until you promise that you'll check her out." Robert said and scanned the room while Chris contemplated the merits of meeting this girl that his friend had spent the last half hour on at him about.

Tom wasn't there since it was an Avengers: Age of Ultron cast party (no doubt he was busy with Coriolanus) but Mark was chilling with Scarlett and Samuel at the bar, and Chris H. and Jeremy were dancing surrounded by a sea of people on the floor in the centre of the club. Everyone else seemed perfectly content, but Chris Evans always seemed a little out of place at these things. Robert figured it all had to be because he didn't know how to go out and have fun, so he should take him under his wing. Although this tactic hadn't been working the best as of late, he knew he just needed one more shot.

"Alright… I suppose I will. But this is the last time dude." Chris sighed heavily and snatched the box from him while Robert was looking away. "Where do you find this?" He smirked as he looked and Captain America shield that was iced on top of the cake. It looked amazing, and smelt amazing too.

Robert looked triumphantly at him. "Alex made it. You're lucky that it survived at all to make it here. I had some of my one at home and… well… there were some casualties. Five of them to be exact."

"I'm guessing it was a set?" Chris asked as he closed the lid on the box carefully so as not to mush it. Maybe this girl wouldn't be so bad. Tony seemed more sure about her than the others so maybe I will actually trust his judgement just this once…

"Emphasis on the 'was'." Rob said and grinned sheepishly. "I'll text you tomorrow if you want to meet Alex for real." He said before heading off to find his wife on the floor.

What have I just gotten myself into? Chris thought to himself before downing his drink and turning in for the night at his hotel.

The next day Chris woke up to the ringing of his phone but didn't answer in time, instead receiving a decidedly hung-over voice message left for him by Robert. He put the phone on speaker, too tired to concentrate on holding it up to his head as he stared groggily up at the plain cream ceiling of his suite. Robert's lazy tone drifted through the room and Chris sighed, of course he would make sure to remind him of the deal they made last night as soon as he was up and running the next morning…

"Morning, Sunshine. Just thought I would give tell you where to find your soul mate whom I –being as awesome and helpful and generous and all around amazing person that I am- found for you. She works at Shake 'n' Bake in Greywood. It's a town in the middle of nowhere but hey, I'm sure you'll find it if the GPS doesn't cut out from a loss of satellite reception." Robert said before the message cut out and Chris rolled his eyes a little. Some people were just a little too overly dramatic sometimes.

Forcing himself out of bed despite the chilling winter air, Chris moved to the bathroom to take a shower before throwing on some clean clothes and sitting down to some breakfast. He had to admit, it had been a while since he had had someone to converse with over breakfast and he kind of missed it. It would be nice to have someone to wake up to each morning instead of just the constant changing of hotel scenery.

I guess this means I'm going to Greywood, doesn't it? He thought to himself as he found a black leather jacket to shrug on, along with his keys, phone, and wallet and then headed out the door.

Andria and Alex were preparing for the lunchtime rush when the little bell signalling a customer rang rather unexpectedly, making both of the girls jump. There was hardly ever anyone there at that time, not to mention it had also been a slow day. Alex returned to fixing up a display while Andria went out front to serve the customer.

Halfway out to the front, Dria caught a glimpse of him and grinned wickedly, no way was Alex going to miss out on this one! "Oh Alex, there goes the timer for the croissants. Can you handle this one for me?" She called in a singsong voice and practically pushed her best friend into the front of the bakery.

"Hm? What timer? I didn't- okay, okay, okay, I'm going!" Alex said as she protested being shoved out to the counter. Once left to be, she smoothed down her apron and put on her customer-greeting face. "Hello and…" Again? SERIOUSLY?! How many gorgeous famous men must grace our little town in the space of three days? For fuck's sake… "Er.. Welcome to Shake 'n' Bake. Anything catching your eye?" Alex asked as she watched the one and only Chris Evans look over the displays and then back up to her as she spoke.

He gave her a small smile and leaned on the counter. "Maybe." He said softly and smiled wider. There, that was flirting, wasn't it? Nailed it. Definitely. He thought to himself as he looked into the most perfect icy blue eyes he'd ever seen.

On cue, a light shade of pink arose in Alex's cheeks and she grinned back at him. "Oh really?" She mimicked his position and rested her forearms on the counter as well so that she now had to look up a little at him.

"Mm hm. Would pick up at seven be okay?" He asked with a slight smirk as he leaned a little closer, loving the way it brought an even deeper red colour to her porcelain skin. Okay, I am so not awkward right now… am I? What if she is just overly friendly? Or maybe I'm coming on to strong and she is going to be weirded out…

It took a moment for Alex to process what he was suggesting before she nodded enthusiastically. "Y-Yeah! Seven is fine. Seven is perfect actually!" She said quickly and giggled shyly.

"Perfect. I'll see you later then." Chris said softly and held her hand to his lips lightly, thinking of how Tom always had women falling all over him whenever he did that. Looks like it worked as Alex looked as if her heart had stopped momentairily.

"See you…" Alex mumbled as she watched him walk away. What was that expression? Hate to see you go, love to watch you leave. It was rather fitting in this moment, she thought.

Dria glanced around the corner and grinned widely, if that wasn't the perfect couple right there, then she didn't know what was. Half a minute together and they were already dropping hints at each other that were more obvious than Chris' abs through that tight white shirt of his. Looks like what Benedict said about Robert playing match maker was true…
