Ocean Eyes I Sebastian Stan I

I walk with Sebastian to the hotel bar. Is it the only place everyone knows? We walk to the bar, sit in a corner and he orders the beers. When the bartender hands us our drinks, Sebastian stares at me, waiting for me to explain what happened earlier. I promised him that I would tell him when we left the studio

"Do I have to wait any longer?" He asks me, I leave the beer on the bar after I've drunk from it "It's my ex." He chokes, making me laugh. It's been a couple of hours since I did "He cheated on me exceptionally" I drink my beer, I think it will be the first of many

"How was it?" he looks at me with pitying eyes "We lived together, in a house that I paid for. One day he asked me if a friend could stay with us because she had nowhere to go. They were working on the same production. Well, it turns out that he was her lover and he was cheating on me for months while I was away doing the master's degree that Judd had forced me to take and, when I came back because I found out about her illness, I practically lived in her house. So for all that time, while I was taking care of my mentor, he had sex with her all over my house." He makes a little surprised noise with his mouth and looks me in the eyes again.

"My last girlfriend cheated on me too" I nod for him to continue "I had a house in New York and one day I found her with her best friend in my bed. So I moved to the apartment that I have now, although I think I spend more time in other cities than at home, because of filming" He shrugs drinking, he looks me in the eye

Can he stop doing that? He makes me nervous..

"for the cuckold club" He raises his drink, I look at him in disbelief "Really?" I laugh "Don't leave me like this, Sloan." I smile and raise my glass to clink it with his, toasting "For the two unfaithful who lost people as attractive as you and me" he makes me laugh and smiles.

"How can you take it so well?" I drink again "It happened two years ago. I am more than over it, unlike you." I look at him offended, to which he laughs "Excuse me, sir 'I get over it in a plis-plas'." he laughs. "But I found out four weeks ago"

"I was already dating Alejandra after three weeks" he proudly says. "Now it turns out you're a womanizer?" I raise an eyebrow and he laughs denying "I don't like womanizers" I say finishing my drink

"First, I wouldn't say womanizer. I'm only successful with women." I roll my eyes ""And second, you slept with a womanizer yesterday" I look at him amused "What do you have against Chris?"

"Nothing, he's just not the type of man to throw himself into a relationship. I just don't want you to waste your time with him." he says, drinking his beer "And who said I want to be in a relationship?"

"Well the blue eyed cutie made you think differently" I make a not understanding face Oh shit right... "Will you tell me who it is?"

"I, uh... John?" I panic saying the first name that comes to mind "John? The cameraman?" he questions me. I have no idea who he is, but I'd better play along "Yeah, he's cute" I say low

"Have you ever talked to him?" he questions me again, I deny. If I don't know who he is, how am I going to talk to him? "Well he does have blue eyes, but I wouldn't call him cute. Although he seems to be calm, definitely not a womanizer." he says trying to...encourage me? I make a fake smile

"So... it was love at first sight?" I laugh "That does not exist"

"Hey, can we have some more? Thanks" I ask the barman and he smiles flirtingly when he gives me the beers "You say that because you've never experienced it" Sebastian speaks again

"And you have?" I ask, half amazed. He nods looking into my eyes. "I thought your ego only allowed you to feel love for yourself." He opens his mouth offended, I let out a laugh. I have left him speechless "Low blow, Sloan" we both start laughing
