The Challenge

The Do Over

Staring at Sebastian, I was completely bewildered.

Quickly, he caught sight of me and began to fidget a little and trying to exit back out ever so fast but coming back toward me hesitantly.

There was no other way to walk around so he had to tell me what he was doing regardless.

"What are you doing here?" I sternly asked. He sighed walking up to me finally and shrugged.

"Well I...was...trying to talk with Ashley. Turns out, we're excellent friends so ya know if you don't mind I have to go-" he started to say timidly.

I smirked knowing already he was lying. He didn't pull off doing so well sometimes.

"Lies! You came here to see if you could back out of this project didn't you?" I questioned.

He grunted and snickered. "Whatever! Who are you to judge me? I have every right if I want to. What are you doing here?" He then pressed.

I shrugged. I didn't have nothing to hide at this point if this was his reason too.

"London errands. She wanted me to do the same thing for you." I informed. He chuckled.

"Wow! Talk about diva. She can't even do her begging herself. Do you also help her get dressed too? Don't forget, you put her designer pants on one leg at a time." He told me.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I didn't have to take this. I was already embarrassed with how I acted with Jason just now, him adding to that fire would just irritate me.

"I don't have to time to mess with you today. I got bigger things to deal with okay?" I asked, trying to walk off.

"Like feeding London her lunch?" He then quizzed smartly.

I stopped in my track and turned to him and scoffed rushing back up to him. I was done with this back and forth banter. I didn't have much energy left for it. So before I decided to be nice to a guy like him like Ashley suggested, I had to first get something straight.

Between Jason, the failed attempt on changing her mind, and the terrible video I strongly believed I had reached a limit in this very moment.

"Okay, that's it! Cards on the table Martinez! What is your problem truly with me?! I thought we were passed all our wrongs! I mean, I have never said a bad thing about you unless you did so to me first, which I'm actually ashamed of myself for giving into. Yet, you constantly mess with me. I'm just trying to do my job and I can't say the same the for you, given the fact that you and my sister destroyed the kitchen I spent hours preparing for you guys! I want to be nice to you and move on from all the crap we've been through, but you make it so hard and another thing-" I began to snap to him.

He sighed. I could see his body start to tense up for some reason as he nodded and simply let out.

"I'm sorry." He blurted out.

"Yeah, you better be!" I started to yell, before I caught on to what he just said. "Wait what?"

He chuckled and shyly cleared his throat before staring closely into my eyes. Instantly, I was memorized by his once again and began tensing up a little bit too. Strangely as I stood there, I could see something just flick off that was so out there for him.

Kindness.

"Look, I don't even think sorry could cover all the muddy grounds I've soiled with you. I didn't mean for yesterday to get that far honestly..." he trailed off, continuing to eye me down carefully and shook his head.
