Glimpse Of Us

Monday

It has been a few weeks since i've spoke with Sebastian and to be honest, I miss him.

After my friends went home he was really the only person I had here in LA. Sure my cousin was here but he had his own family to look after.

I lay in bed on a Monday morning tossing and turning trying to get back to sleep. After a failed attempt I get up and make myself a coffee before lounging on the couch in my snood.

I FaceTime my father - the new king for around an hour before grabbing my laptop and replying to work emails. The sound of someone knocking on the door catches my attention, I was expecting some PR parcels and swung the door open excited they finally arrived.

I frown when the man stood at my door wasn't my usual postman John but instead stood infront of me was Sebastian with two Starbucks coffees in a cup holder in his right hand and a bag in his left hand.

"Hi... Can I come in?" He asks, I stand to the side letting him into my apartment. I close the door and follow him into the lounge where we both sit down. Sebastian hands me a cup with my usual as he takes a sip of his.

We sit quietly drinking our coffee with the tv playing in the background. I pick the skin around my nails as he takes my hand in his, I look up at him with tears in my eyes.

"Listen, Shannon. I'm sorry for what happened before with Ella she tends to get a little jealous of my female friends. I've spoken with her and made it clear we're going to stay friends"

"Ok i'll stay out her way as much as I can. Anyway...I'm going out tonight..."

"On a date?" Sebastian asks.

"No, just for some drinks with Chris..."

Sebastian looks shocked before nodding.
"Chris is a good guy, i've known him for years. He was always on and off with his ex but I was speaking to him the other day and he said they're definitely finished this time".

For the rest of the afternoon we both lounged watching tv before Sebastian headed home. I got showered and dried my hair, I straightned it and put some make up on. I looked in my closet grabbing a knitted dress and some tights, it was still cold out.

I was meeting Chris at 6pm at a bar downtown, I pull on my oversized jacket and black combat boots before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs for the Uber i'd just ordered.

I arrive at the bar and find Chris leaning against the bar with a drink in hand, I approach him and place my hand on his back. He turns around smiling at the contact before pulling me into a hug.

He looked better than before. Tall, dark and handsome. Chris wore dark jeans with a white tshirt and red checked shirt over the top. His beard was trimmed to perfection, his hair was fluffy and his tshirt hugged his toned figure.

I tried not to melt right in front of him as he hands me a Pink Gin he had already ordered. I take a sip and smile at him.

As the night went on it was getting more and more crowded in the bar, I found myself being pushed closer to Chris by others who were trying to order. Chris wraps his arm around me placing his hand on the small of my back and pulling me closer to him. I look up and gasp at his actions placing my hand on his chest.

Chris grins down at me and I bite my lip, my heart was pounding in my chest so loud I can hear it in my ears. Chris leans down to my ear and half shouts so I can hear him over the music.

"Wanna get out of here?"

I nod back in response unable to speak, I feel him grin against my ear before he grabs my hand and we make our way to his house.

This isn't like me, I don't do one night stands - but for Chris Evans - i'd do anything...
