The Spotlight (Sebastian Stan x Reader)

Working Girl

For the first week, I was swamped with meetings for my collaboration with Savage x Fenty. Rihanna gave me complete freedom to design a few sets. Needless to say, this was a great time to design lingerie cause I had someone to wear it for, other than myself. On one of the days, Rihanna was there to help me and guide me.

"So, are these the final sets?" She asked.

"Yeah," I answered, "what do you think?"

"Fire," she replied with a smile, "but the important thing is that you'll feel sexy in it."

"Thank you, Robyn," I said with my smile slowly fading.

"What's wrong, Y/N?" she asked.

"You've been doing this fame thing for a while," I said, "does a public relationship ever get easy?"

"Not really," she answered with all honesty, "it's just you gotta hope you're with someone you can trust and are willing to do the work with you cause the media is a mess."

"Yeah, that's the stressful part."

"Are you dating someone?" she asked.

"Not dating, just vibing, I guess."

"Someone famous?" 

"Yeah," I told her with a smile.

"Well, despite my curiosity, I won't ask who it is," she said, "I just know he'll die when he sees your pictures wearing the collection!" she yelled and shook me.

This alone caused me to break into laughter. She really knows what to say to make someone feel better, and that's one of the many reasons I decided to work with her. Anyone that promotes that much inclusivity has my support always. The rest of the meeting turned into lunch and then more conversations. Not having a schedule really allowed me to enjoy these amazing moments and keep my mind occupied from overthinking the Sebastian situation and how much I missed him.

The second week, I had the photoshoot with Savage x Fenty, and another for a page spread I had with Elle magazine. During the photoshoot with Rihanna, I was allowed to explore a sexual side I have never allowed the public to see, and the fact that it was with her made it 100 times more badass. And since I had creative freedom it made it so much fun.

The Elle shoot was more professional and put together, but since I had Jane do my makeup and Alice on set, it had gone well. The interview part was harder than I thought cause it came to asking questions about relationships I had to swiftly avoid them which kinda hurt since I felt like I found someone awesome.

The day before Sebastian arrived in New York, I thought about how during these weeks, he slowly grew colder and colder, especially by the second week. This had me very worried and confused, I didn't know what I had done wrong or what was going on with him. But there was still a part of me excited to see him.

I laid down on my bed in an attempt to calm my nerves. A few moments later Jane, burst into my room, which caused me to get up frustrated, and on edge.

"Did you see the headlines?" She immediately asked.

"No!" I replied alarmed, "what's up?"

She looked very worried and without saying word, she handed me the phone that had a website open with the title "Sebastian Stan steps out in Atlanta with a mystery lady". I was shocked, my heart sank and I was paralysed, I couldn't find the strength to scroll and continue to read. I instead handed Jane her phone back.

"I'm so sorry, Y/N," she lamented.

"When's this from?" I asked.

"This morning." 

"Thanks for showing me," I expressed, because I appreciated her honesty, "I'd like to be alone now, Jane."

"Alright," she said, "I'll be out here if you need me."

She closed the door and I return to bed, trying my best not to let out of tear, for the first guy I let in my life in a romantic way. It really hurt.
