Unconditional

Chapter 5: The First Vlog

It's Monday morning and it is Iona's first day at Spellbound. She got ready at seven thirty and headed out the door by eight. She took Nikko's car and stopped by the cafe her and Sebastian went to to grab something to eat on the way to the studio.

'Welcome. Only one today?' The receptionist asked.

'I'm actually just going to order to-go.' Iona smiled and the receptionist lead her to the counter.

'Welcome back. What can I get for you?' The girl behind the counter asked.

'Trenta iced matcha latté and a plain donut please.' She smiled and took her phone out.

'Make that two orders please.' Someone said behind Iona. She turned around and saw Sebastian.

'Hey there.' Iona smiled as she gave him a small hug.

'Good morning, beautiful. Ready for your first day of work?' He asked.

'As ready as I can be.' She said.

'Do you have time to sit and eat?' He asked.

She looked at her watch and it only says eight-fifteen. 'Yeah. I don't start until ten.'

'Miss, we're actually going to grab a table.' He said to the cashier and lead Iona to the same table they sat at the first time the went there.

'Do you come here every morning now?' Iona asked.

'Actually this is the first time I came here this early. I wanted something to eat before I head to a script reading.' He smiled.

'Oh, nice.' She half smiled and blushed.

'You're still not phased by the fact that I am THE Sebastian Stan?' He teased.

'Nope. Never will. I've only known you for like what, a week?' She teased back.

'Good. Because I don't want to be known as the celebrity friend.' He chuckled.

Their order got served and they began eating,

'Do you have any plans after work?' Seb asked.

'Sam is probably going to drag me somewhere.' She frowned.

'Why the sad face?' He took a bite of his donut.

'I honestly don't like going out after work. I'd rather head home and relax or to a cafe, sit and sip coffee and relax,' she explained.

'Well, I'm done by four-thirty. Wanna meet up here once you're off?'

'Mr. Stan, are you asking me for a date?' Iona teased.

'A dinner date, yes. Nothing fancy, just a casual dinner here.' He smiled and finished off his donut.

'I'll think about it.' She winked.

'Is that like your, go-to answer?' He laughed.

'Maybe.' She smiled and took a sip of her latte.

'Iona, you are killing me.' He laughed.

They spent an hour talking and laughing and when they were done it was already nine-ten.

'I gotta go to work now. I don't wanna be late on my first day.' She smiled she was about to grab the bill but Sebastian grabbed it first.

'My turn.' He smiled and left fifty dollars. 'May I walk you to your car?' She blushed but nodded. When they got her car there were people looking at them.

'I should go before they think we're dating.' She giggled.

'I'll see you here when you get off work.' Iona nodded and got in her car. Sebastian walked over to the fans and signed some autographs and took pictures letting Iona get out of the parking lot in peace.
