You Only Live Once

Chapter Eight

Jamie and Sebastian returned to Chris's house just past nine to find that Chris wasn't home. Jamie removed her shoes and padded into the kitchen to find a note stuck to the fridge, and once she read it, she couldn't help but laugh. "Seb and Jamie, I've gone out for drinks with Mackie tonight and I might crash at his place. You two lovebirds have fun. PS, There's condoms in my nightstand," she giggled. "Oh lord."

She shook her head as she placed the food inside the fridge before she made her way to Sebastian's room.

Sebastian was shaking his head while he put his suit jacket on a hanger, then back in his closet. "Leave it to Chris. I'm sorry that he's so forward."

"Don't be. I find it funny," she chuckled again, as she pulled off her own jacket and hung it next to Sebastian's.

He turned and smiled at her while he began unbuttoning his shirt. "At least it's all in good humor, although I think he's half hoping for it to happen." Sebastian removed his shirt then put it in the nearby hamper before he walked over to his dresser. "I'll find you a shirt to wear."

He started digging through his drawers, finding one that would be comfortable for her to wear. Once he found one that would work, he handed it to her. She took it from him and quickly changed in the bathroom. After getting dressed, she stepped back into the bedroom where Sebastian had already laid down.

Jamie laid on the bed and turned to face Sebastian, watching him as he scrolled through his phone. "Responding to your fans on Instagram?" she asked.

He looked up from his phone at her. "Yeah. It's always nice to see their reactions when I post something new."

"I look forward to seeing your stories and pictures myself, honestly." She scooted over and laid against Seb's shoulder.

He moved his arm behind her neck and pulled her closer to him, then kissed the top of her head and ran a hand through her hair. They were silent for a while, both simply enjoying each other's company until Sebastian spoke up. "So, what are you thinking you want to do tomorrow?" he asked as he reached over to set his phone on the nightstand.

"I'm not sure," she said honestly. "It's been a long time since I've had this much time off of work."

"Well, what is something you've always wanted to do? Or somewhere you've always wanted to go?" Seb asked.

Jamie looked at him as her mind became blank. "That's... a hard answer to think of. I really don't know, Seb. I haven't done anything but my normal routine for so long." She sighed softly and looked down, avoiding his gaze. "I'm a boring person."

"I don't believe that for a second," he muttered as he ran his hand through her hair again. "I'm sure we can find something you will enjoy. For now, maybe we should try to get some sleep? We can figure things out tomorrow."

She smiled and turned to capture his lips in a soft kiss. "Sleep sounds like a good idea."

As they lay down together, Jamie rolled over and closed her eyes, beginning to drift off to sleep. Sebastian watched her for a while, admiring how peaceful she looked as she slept before wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her in flush against his chest. He felt her body relax and mold itself more comfortably against him before he finally drifted off himself.

When Jamie woke the following morning, she looked up at the sun that filtered through the blinds, remembering the night before with a smile. She absently reached for Sebastian's hand, that was resting near her chest, and brought it up to her mouth for a kiss. Who would've thought that I would be dating Sebastian Stan?
