Not just Sammy's bar

Arriving at Sammy's bar, Scarlett and I make our way inside and find Sarah. She smiles as soon as she spots us and so Scarlett and I make our way over to sit with Sarah.

"Hey you found your way here!" Sarah beams with a giggle and Scarlett just laughs softly at this.

"Oh dear, someone has to come and put you and Sammy on one line." I tease, which makes my manager frown unamused.

"On one line?" Scarlett curiously asks and looks in between Sarah and I, before she then looks at Sammy who approaches us.

"Y/n! You brought your wife, sweet. What can I bring you guys?" He asks for our orders, with the same welcoming smile as always.

I give Scarlett a look and smile, letting her know to go first. "We'll take a hot chocolate with marshmallows please." She orders as she puts her arm on the back of my chair.

"Hot chocolates with marshmallows it is! Sarah do you need anything else?" Sammy turns to my manager with a lovely smile.

I however nudge Scarlett, to make her watch the way Sarah reacts on Sammy. "And she's always like that..." I comment, when Sarah slightly blushes and smiles like crazy, also ordering another hot chocolate.

Scarlett giggles quietly and nods in understanding. When Sammy leaves our table again, it's Scar that starts to tease Sarah about him. "He's a handsome, no?"

My manager seems even more unamused about this now, but instead of Scarlett, she glares at me. "Seriously Y/n?"

"What?" I innocently ask and shrug, with a smile. "Apparently even Scar here noticed."

Sarah just playfully rolls her eyes and nods, "yes, sure, mh-hm."

"Oh Sarah, I think everyone who's got two healthy eyes, would've seen the way you look at Sammy." Scarlett points out to my defense and makes me smile proudly.

"I should've known your wife's gonna take your side, no?" My manager playfully asks and sighs, at which I just grin and nod.

"You see, for Sarah this is not just Sammy's bar." I lean closer to Scar and wink at Sarah.

"I see," Scarlett agrees and smirks at Sarah. Just then Sammy approaches our table again, with our hot chocolates.

"Thank you so much, Sammy." Scarlett takes her hot chocolate with her alluring smile. "I've heard about not just your bar." She teasingly adds, glancing over at my manager who slowly dies in her seat.

I grunt, trying to hold a laughter down as I watch Scarlett do whatever she does.

"Apparently my friend Sarah here, doesn't quite know how to approach you Sammy." Scarlett tells with a deep sigh and looks down at her hot chocolate. Oh man, she's such an actress. "You see, my wife has been trying it so many times to push Sarah into the right direction."

As Scarlett continues her little dramatic act, I more and more start to fight against my laughter until Scar kicks my leg and immediately makes me stop. "Yeah, right. So many time, yeah."

"You guys are very annoying, you know that?" Sarah eventually says with a groan and shakes her head. "I must admit they're right though, but that doesn't change anything, no?" She sighs and looks up at Sammy who seems very intrigued by Scarlett's act and my manager's final confession. Eventually a big smile appears on his face and he chuckles.

"And I thought you'd never confess. Which is why I never approached you neither." He explains giving her a sheepish look.

While Scarlett and I lean back and give each other satisfied looks, Sarah seems to slowly feel more at ease about the whole situation with Sammy.

"It seems that we've been wasting a lot of time to spend together." She quietly admits and giggles.

Sammy looks at Scarlett and I, before he looks back at Sarah with a shy smile. "Yeah, apparently." He says with a chuckle.

"Oh Y/n dear, you forgot to lock your office!" Scarlett beams as she stands up from her chair and drags me up as well.

"Lock my office?" I ask, looking puzzled. Scarlett however just strictly nods at me, before she smiles at Sarah and Sammy then.

"We'll see you guys around." She waves at them both and drags me out of the bar.

As soon as we exit Sammy's bar, I complain, "but my hot chocolate!"

"You can get one at home dear." Scarlett chuckles amusedly and shakes her head as she takes my hand properly and we both start to walk down the street.

"So, Sarah and Sammy huh?" She speaks up after a while and smiles at me. I just nod in confirmation and smile back.

"And I thought she was into you." Scarlett admits with a chuckle. I gasp, but swallow it down.

"Me? Why?" I try to laugh it off and shrug, which makes Scarlett look even more curious now. I had one job.

"Yes you. You're beautiful and all and she's been your manager since ages, no?" She softly inquires and leaves me blushing.

"Well, thank you..." I smile warmly, "but there's nothing like that. I mean she's my manager. It's not that it would be weird, but," I realize the entanglement of my words and the contrast to what I've been doing with Sarah the past few years, so I stop talking for a moment.

A moment in that Scarlett looks genuinely curious and doesn't judge anything.

"You two seemed very close, which is good for the business you're working in. I've seen many celebrities getting into turbulence with their managers due to different future plans." She calmly explains and gives my hand a reassuring squeeze as she smiles.

I nod and give her a grateful smile, still feeling uneasy at some point now. I shouldn't tell Scarlett about what Sarah and I have been doing, right? "I know what you mean." I only say.

"I'm glad that Sarah and I have such a good bond." I add later on as I look at Scarlett and smile.

"I can imagine how lucky you are." She softly says and her eyes sparkle. "You know, I'm proud of who you've become."

"Thank you. I appreciate hearing that." I sincerely speak and smile gratefully.

"And I enjoy telling you that." She says with a chuckle and pulls me closer as she puts her arm around my lower back, laying my own arm over her shoulders. "Kate is a big fan of yours. Since the beginning."

"Kate? As in the Kate you're working with?" I curiously ask and Scarlett nods with a genuine smile. "That's somewhat sweet."

"Oh you have no idea." Scarlett laughs and shakes her head, before resting it on my upper arm as we walk. "She's crazy about you and your music, dear."

"Now you got me curious about her. Maybe I should just come by at your work place, no?" I ask with a chuckle and hold her close to my side.

"I would love to see her reaction on that." She says with a wide smile as she looks up at me with sparkling eyes. "And I'd love to show you where I work, most of the time, if not on set." She adds and kisses my cheek. I blush, but immediately nod.

I've honestly been checking in on The Outset and the more I've seen, the more curious I got to see this place in real life and now I'm even lucky to get to meet Kate.

"I look forward to that day already, sweetheart." I assure her with a big smile.

We then continue our way home, walking in each other's arm like we were never doing it any different. Just like meant to be.
