Actions Speak Louder Than Fortune Cookies

69 - Dinner and FaceTime

Sebastian woke up to his alarm blaring bright and early at 5:00 am. He tapped his phone to turn it off and rolled out of bed.

It was hard for him to get up to go to physical therapy in the mornings but it was the only time he could get there during the week. Plus he had appreciated his physical therapist in New York hooking him up with a local LA one while he was in town.

He grabbed his phone and made his way to the bathroom to start his morning routine when he opened his messages, seeing one from Rylee.

Ryles ❤️
Good morning handsome, I hope you have a great day. Last night was great 😉

He did the quick math in his head to figure out that Rylee had sent that at 7:00, her time. He was surprised she was up early. She hated waking up, especially if she didn't have to.

Seb 😍
Good morning beautiful, You're up early.
Last night was definitely great 😏

Rylee answered right away, Sebastian assumed she must've had her phone in her hand.

Ryles ❤️
Yeah. Not by choice. Lex wanted RCC for breakfast. And we know they cure any and all hangovers.

Seb 😍
That they do. Well what're you girls up to for the rest of the day.

Ryles ❤️
Umm. Not super sure. Alexa needs to go shopping so I'll probably tag along with her.
What's your schedule look like today?

Seb 😍
They packed full every minute I swear.
Gotta meet up with Luke at six.
Then back to back interviews from like 8 til 2.
Then a meeting at 5.

Ryles ❤️
Oof. That's a lot.

Seb 😍
Tell me about it.

Ryles ❤️
Maybe we can FaceTime later?

Seb 😍
I've got an idea for that. Can you be home at 6:00?

Ryles ❤️
I think that can be arranged.

Seb 😍
Great, I'll call you then.
I've gotta go get ready.
Love you

Ryles ❤️
Love you too 😘

Sebastian walked slowly out of the building they had just finished their last interview, which of course went right until 2:00 on the nose. He had Chris and Anthony on either side of him as they made their way towards the car that was to take them back to the hotel.

There were a few fans waiting outside the building and all three men turned to chat with them for a few minutes and get pictures. The girls were nice, and extremely respectful which Sebastian really appreciated. Sometimes fans could get a little crazy and he wasn't up for that today.

One of the girls, who introduced herself as Steph, had asked Sebastian how he was doing and was happy to see him out of a cast. She said she had just had one on her arm as well and was now just sporting a small, black brace on her wrist. She said she definitely knew how it felt to make that jump from the cast to something different and she was happy for him.

He appreciated her thoughts and gave her a hug in return. He told her he hoped her wrist got better soon and that he was looking forward to not dealing with the boot anymore as he smiled.

They all waved good bye to the group and got into the car, Sebastian sitting up front. By the time they got through traffic they got back to the hotel around 2:30. Perfect. Sebastian thought. Just enough time to get everything sorted.
