One Last Time

Apologies for the lack of updates I caught a stomach bug and it's left me a bit out of it for a while, much better now though

LETS PROCEED

I sat at a table conveniently tucked away in the corner of the dance floor watching watching the drunken sways of Chris' friends and our family pretty much falling into each other.

I rolled the 13 month sober chip between my fingers which was the only thing that was helping me not crack. If I'm honest it was 13 months of not going out hence why it's been so successful.

Although if I was even more honest when I was drinking before it was alone at home. Social occasions made me very intimidated so I dodged them.

I guess 13 months of sobriety did earn me a promotion at my job that I've worked 5 years for. Im the leader of one of the teams at work but, the team are not responding well to the idea of me being their boss now.

Purely because they've always outcast me off the bat and they're not happy one of their own isn't the boss. It's always difficult for me to be able to stand up in front of people and boss them around like I'm meant to, it makes it worse when you succeed to put yourself forward like that but the person receiving the request rejects it.

And I'm even more honest than I have been so far, I've always hated my work, it's just the money in the end.

I glanced up at my big brother Chris smiling to myself as he twirled his bride on the dance floor. He got all his dreams and I'm so proud of him.

I nearly dropped the chip in my hand when I heard a chair scrape next to me. I glanced next to me and saw Sebastian sit there and gave a small smile.

Sebastian was Chris' best man and I had only met for the first time in the wedding rehearsal and we had barely exchanged three sentences with each other at this point.

I raised my eyebrow at him "I really hope you don't think just cause I'm maid of honour and you're best man that means you're getting lucky tonight," I said loudly over the music.

He grinned looking down "It's nothing like that I promise, you just looked left out and I thought the loner corner looked more inviting than your great aunt drooling over me,"

I smiled and slowly nodded "Valid point,"

There was a brief pause and Sebastian cleared his throat "You okay though? You not got any friends or family you'd rather talk to than sit here?"

I shook my head "I've done my rounds with the relatives already I can only deal with them in small instalments and I don't have friends,"

He raised an eyebrow "How do you not have friends? You're really nice I can't understand how you don't have friends,"

I shrugged "Well I have yet to find anyone who wants to be friends with me I guess,"

His eyes flickered down to the sobriety chip in my hand that I hid inside my hand quickly.

We had what felt like 20 minutes of sitting there quietly observing the scene in front of us until Sebastian nudged me "You wanna go outside for a bit before our ears bleed?"

I contemplated his offer for a moment then nodded "Sure,"

He smiled as we headed out the door to he parking lot and we sat on a bench and stared into the pitch black sky where the stars were not visible at all.

"It always feels like a dark omen when you can't see the stars..." I murmured rubbing my arm.

He took his jacket off and placed it round my shoulders "They're still there Y/N, I like to think of it like hope you can't see it but it's there,"

I pulled his jacket round me and nodded "It's a nice optimistic way to think about it I suppose,"

"You not a fan of optimism?" He asked.

I shrugged "I suppose when you had a very heavy hand of bad luck in your life it's difficult to see things in a positive perspective, I may be pessimistic but if I do have a rare good day it feels like the greatest day ever,"

He hummed "And if you don't mind me asking what is this bad luck you're referring to?"

I mentally rolled my eyes "Let's see um I couldn't go to college cause mom got really sick and I didn't want Chris to lose out on his career so I stayed home with her, so I ended up with a job I hate, my boyfriend of 8 years cheated on me and I turned into a full on alcoholic for 2 years and even though I am 13 months sober and promoted at work I'm unhappy,"

Sebastian didn't say anything for a while clearly processing what I blurted out to him within 10 seconds. Other than my intimate family I've not felt the need to tell anyone about this and I barely know him so I surprised myself when I let this spill.

"What is it that would make you happy?" He asked.

I turned to him "What do you mean?"

He ran his fingers through his hair "Well you've told me every scenario that has ruined your life but I want to know what scenario would have made you happy,"

I paused "Well I wanted to go to college and study to become a doctor, I thought I found the guy I wanted to marry so yeah marriage and kids, sounds pretty basic I suppose,"

"Not really it sounds nice, so you never dated after this guy then?"

I shook my head "No I somewhat didn't want to be in a relationship since I didn't see the point,"

"So no dating or one night stands just to get it out your system?"

I shook my head "No the idea of even trying makes me cringe and there's too many potential psycho murderers,"

He smirked leaning forward and staring at his feet "Well I'm sure you'll find someone who's willing to satisfy your needs,"

As he smirked I raised my eyebrow "I already told you not gonna happen I refuse to fall into the stereotype of best man and maid of honour hooking up,"

I lay on Sebastian's chest panting barely catching my breath as he smiled rubbing my bare back.

"What was it you said earlier? Oh yeah that you refuse to-"

"Shut up I know what I said," I hissed gently smacking his chest.

He chuckled kissing the top of my head and I sighed.

"Did you enjoy it at least?" He asked.

I rolled off his chest and laid beside him "It was ok,"

He rolled onto his side raising his eyebrow "Oh Y/N are you telling me those moans and the sounds of you begging for more were just for show? You should be an actress,"

I rolled my eyes and he smiled pulling me close and dotted kisses down my neck "I'm glad you liked it,"

I sighed and looked down and he tilted my chin up "I promise Y/N this isn't anything serious ok? We had a good time but this doesn't mean you've signed up for a full time relationship,"

I looked back up "You promise?"

He nodded and pecked my lips "I promise, but just know if ever you need a little stress relief I'm just a phone call away and I'd like the same privileges if that's ok,"

I paused and chewed my lip "Ok you have a deal, but I honestly think this was a one time thing,"

He grinned "You won't regret it Doll,"

The End...Unless....
