The Spotlight (Sebastian Stan x Reader)

Knock Knock

I arrived at his door and began to muster up the confidence to knock on his door, while simultaneously trying to keep myself from overthinking how I could mess things up.

"Well, it's now or never." I whispered to myself while lifting my hand and banged my middle knuckles against the door producing a 'knock' sound twice. I retracted my hand and waited.

After a few seconds, I hear the door unlock and followed by a sway open to reveal Sebastian. He stood there tall and handsome, my eyes began to analyze him from top to bottom. I could tell that he was fresh out of a shower, his short hair was darker and damp. His eyes slightly red revealed to me that he must've had a long day of shooting, but they still looked great to me. I moved down to his lips that formed a smile as he finally laid eyes on me, changing his whole profile, bringing forth more light which caused me to smile as well.

"Hi" I finally said.

"Hey" he replied as he extended his arms to pull me into a hug.

I went in to hug him, my nose instantly captivated by that fresh shower smell that radiated off him. Needless to say, I enjoyed it very much, it smelled crisp and rich, with hints of opulent rose but nevertheless, it was still masculine and bold. I couldn't get enough.

As we pulled apart, he invited me in and gestured for me to take a seat on the couch and he sat next to you.

"So," he began to speak, "do I also get exclusive treatment like Anthony?"

"Why yes of course," and with a bit of a flair handed him his envelope, "since it's your first time seeing me perform no expense has been spared."

"I actually have a confession to make." He said as he looked down at the envelope."I've actually seen you perform once before."

"When?" I asked confused.

"Well, there was that once time at the Golden Globes 2018."

"Ohh yeah, I remember that it was so nerve-wracking," I said while remembering the whole event, "seeing all my favorite actors, directors, and producers, I remember thinking 'No matter what happens my old Hollywood look will still turn heads' ".

"Let me just say as an audience member, both the performance and your look were amazing". I immediately began to blush.

"You are really filled with flattering words, I can't wait to hear what you'll think of tomorrow night."

"Me neither," he got up and added, "if we were in my house, I'd offer you a drink, but in this hotel room, the most I can do is ask if you'd like to go down to the bar for a drink."

"I'd like that very much" I happily accepted and with that Sebastian put of his leather jacket and we went down to the Cottocrudo Bar.

The bar wasn't so full but then again it was a Thursday night, I wouldn't expect it to be. The decor was chic with a hint of modern and contemporary with many gold and copper accents that highlighted certain areas of the venue. The bar itself had a wall filled with every alcoholic drink anyone could want and behind the chairs, that rested against the bar, there was a glass wall with more bottles but this time of wines.

"Seems like we have quite a lot to choose from," he said glancing at the bar and then proceeded to pull open a chair for you.

"Yes, we do, and thank you, Mr. Stan," I said and I took the seat. He then sat right next to me and we both ordered some of the house's signature drinks. When they arrived we started talking about ourselves.
