You Only Live Once

Chapter Eleven

Jamie's eyebrows furrowed as she shifted uncomfortably on the couch. What does he mean by pictures? Why were there any pictures taken? Who takes pictures of people at the zoo? Why were pictures taken of Sebastian and me together in the first place? She looked behind the couch at Sebastian. "Did you see anyone? I know I didn't."

Sebastian shook his head. "No, but I wasn't really paying attention."

Jamie looked back at Chris, looking apprehensive. "Are the photos they took bad?"

Chris chuckled and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. They were fine. You two looked cute."

"But... Why would anyone want photos of Sebastian and me?" she questioned. "I'm not anyone important."

Chris shrugged. "People want dirt on celebrities. Seeing someone like Seb out with a random female, holding hands while walking through the park, random stolen kisses, it's all great exposure for the tabloids."

Jamie nodded, understanding. "I knew it would happen. I guess I just didn't think it would be so fast." She looked over at Sebastian and could see the nervousness on his face. "I don't regret today though. At all."

"Personally, I'm surprised it didn't happen while you two were on your date the other night," Chris said wryly.

Seb blushed softly as he walked around the couch and sat close to Jamie. "I did my best to keep us secluded."

Jamie gave him a soft smile and leaned into him, taking comfort in his presence. Chris smiled at the pair affectionately. He knew how much they loved each other, there was no way they could hide it. "You guys are a cute couple, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, they just know that Seb was seen with some girl. No one knows the details yet," Chris assured them.

"Do you think I should get a hold of Price?" Sebastian asked. "I could see if I need to make any sort of statement."

"Wouldn't hurt to at least reach out and give some warning, right?" Chris suggested.

"That's a good point." Sebastian pulled his phone from his pocket and quickly shot his manager a text. "Today really was a great day though, some pictures aren't going to change that."

Jamie turned and kissed him. "It really was. I wouldn't trade it for anything."

Chris chuckled. "You two are sickeningly cute, you know that?"

"And we're proud of it," Jamie smirked.

Sebastian chuckled and looked down at his phone as it pinged. Price had sent him the photos and he couldn't help but save one of them to his phone. "Everything's taken care of about the photos."

Jamie grinned. "Good." She relaxed into Seb's embrace, "So what do we wanna do now?"

Sebastian shrugged but wrapped both arms around Jamie and pulled her back against him. "We could watch a movie, order take out?" he suggested.

"If you order take out, it better be healthy," Chris warned. "We've eaten too much that's not on our diet already."

"What if I cook?" Jamie suggested. "What are you supposed to be eating?"

"You can cook?" Chris asked in mock surprise.

Jamie laughed and nodded, smiling up at the two men. "Of course I can. Anything you guys like. Just name it."

"We normally order it, but could you do chicken and rice with some sort of vegetable?" Sebastian asked.

"Of course. Do you have everything I would need?" she asked, then looked back over at Chris. "Or do I need to order groceries to be delivered?"
