You Only Live Once

Chapter Twenty Six

The week seemed to go by at lightning speed. At least to Jamie it did. It was now Saturday and Sebastian was leaving the next day, which made her feel a bit down. Currently, she sat on the couch, looking over a script that Chris had asked for, so she could look at it. The part was small, but she was curious about it, so she decided to read over the lines.

Sebastian walked out of the bedroom and leaned over the back of the sofa, kissing Jamie on the cheek. "What do you think?" he asked. "Look like something you might want to try?"

"I'm still not sure," she answered. "Doctor terms tend to go over my head and I know I will pronounce things wrong." Jamie tilted her head back to look at him. "Are you all packed?"

"Yeah," he replied with a light sigh. "You know, if you aren't comfortable with the role, you don't have to take it," he reminded her, trying to avoid the fact that he was meant to leave again all too soon.

Jamie nodded, sitting the script beside her. "I know. I need to pick something though. Or at least be more open to picking something. I don't think I'll go with something medical out of the gate though. It's a bit complicated."

"You're just getting started, sweetheart. The right role will come along before you know it." Seb moved from the back of the sofa to sit next to Jamie.

"I hope so... if it doesn't, I will have to find a side job to get money for rent." She looked over at Seb with a soft smile. "I'm sure Chris will help me find something. At least I hope."

Seb smiled softly as well and took Jamie's hand in his. "Don't worry about that," he told her gently. "You'll find something, I know you will."

Jamie sighed softly. "It's hard not to worry. But I do have money saved up. I'll be okay for a little while."

Though she tried to hide it, Sebastian could see the worry in Jamie's eyes. She had taken a leap of faith, following their advice, and was giving the acting life a try. He knew he had to do something to help her, so he pulled out his phone and sent off a quick text message.

"What do you say we go get some lunch? Anything you want," he suggested.

"Lunch sounds good," she agreed. "Should we walk and see what we find? Or drive?"

"A walk sounds perfect," Seb replied, standing quickly and offering her a hand. "Shall we?"

Jamie took Sebastian's hand and let him pull her to her feet. "I might want to put on some sort of pants first," she laughed, only wearing a tank top and underwear.

Sebastian gave her a wink. "I don't mind the way you are now," he teased. "But, I suppose, some pants wouldn't be bad," he chuckled.

"You are such a flirt." She leaned forward and pecked his lips. "But I love it." Jamie walked around him, making sure to trail her hand across his stomach then across his ass before walking into the bedroom.

He let out a quiet groan as she passed, "You are trouble, you know that?" he called after her as she disappeared into the bedroom.

"You know you like it!" She called back. Jamie pulled on a pair of jean shorts and pulled her hair into a bun. When she re-emerged, Jamie pulled the dog tags she wore from behind her tank top so they could be seen.

Seb noticed them immediately and came to stand at her side. "You're right, I do," he smirked. "I wouldn't change a thing about you, sweetheart." He wrapped his arms around Jamie and gave her a squeeze, leaning down to kiss her.

Jamie eagerly returned his kiss, melting against him. "I wouldn't change anything about you either," she murmured as they reluctantly pulled apart.

They made their way downstairs and headed outside. They walked hand in hand through the streets, enjoying each other's company. The couple found a small cafe nearby and decided to give it a try.
