How you get the girl. (Sebastian Stan fanfic.)

2.- (All you have to do was stay)

Nina heard the front door closing with a slam and she wanted to call him, but she couldn't. The brunette was petrified in the same spot where he left her, but now she was staring at the kitchen door. Nina wanted to move, search her phone and call Sebastian, but she could only think of his lips on hers. Nobody in her life had kissed her the way Sebastian did five minutes before. The way his lips moved with hers in perfect synchronization let her speechless and she didn't say anything because she loved every second of it, at least until he left. She was sure that no one would kiss her in that way, not again.

Nina could make her body work once again and she walked out of the kitchen, letting herself fall on the sofa. She didn't know why Seb left the place, but hated the fact that he did it. The actress was sure that the kiss was amazing -at least for her-, so it wasn't about it. Maybe it was just an impulse that he regretted, and then he ran instead of staying there at least to talk about it. Maybe she should start looking for a new apartment to move in case things get really bad when Sebastian get back. And maybe six years of friendship were over after all.

She got up from the couch thinking about getting her laptop to really start looking for a new place to rent, but the door bell rang. Nina turned the volume of the music down and went to open the door. When she did, her sister was in the other side and four little arms wrapped around her legs yelling "Auntie Nin!" at the same time.

Lauren looked at her with her sorry-puppy eyes when Nina kneeled to kiss both of her little nephew and niece' heads before they got inside the place to say hi to Leia. "Nin, I'm sorry I'm bothering you, I have a last minute business cocktail with the people at work and Jimmy is working and the nanny is out of the town! I don't have anyone to take care of them! It's just for some hours. This is my chance to get the promotion if I make the right move." Lauren explained, speaking really fast, like she always did when she was stressed.

"Lau, it's okay. I'll take care of them, don't worry" Nina smiled at her sister. It was really hard to hide the sadness and confusion of her face in that moment, but as an actress she was doing her best.

"Are you fine?" Lauren asked, now speaking in a normal voice. It was like if she just could smell when her little sister was sad.

"Yes. I mean, I just had a fight or something like that with Seb. I don't know..." she breathed. "But don't worry, I can take care of my little kids, you go to your party and get the damn job!" Nina added, smiling again.

"You are a saint, baby. And don't worry; I'm sure it was nothing. The Romanian and you always made things work. I don't know how, but you always do." the oldest of the sister affirmed, caring her sister's arm trying to comfort her.

"I hope so..." Nina whispered with a sad smile.

"I have to run, hun, sorry. Here you have the kid's things. Call me if something happens!" Lauren said, giving her sister a bag with whatever her son and daughter could need. After that she kissed her sister's cheek and give Nina a little hug. "Bye kids! Daddy will pick you up latter! I love you!" she added, this time for the kids who were on the living running with the dog. The two women could hear the two little voices screaming 'Bye mommy' from behind and they laugh while Lauren was walking to the elevator.

"We love you too! Have fun!" Nina exclaimed before closing the door.

After playing, painting coloring books, having dinner, and helping to do the dishes, while they were watching The Winter Soldier the two kids fell totally asleep. Nat was in Nina's room because she was the first one falling asleep and Dean was sleeping lying on the couch. They insisted in watching it because Sebastian wasn't in the apartment. In the dinner they asked three times why he wasn't there. Then again every time they saw Bucky on the movie. Dean loved the movie because of the superhero thing like the big part of the five years old boys; and Nat was a four years old girl who loved the Disney princess but she loved that movie too because she had the same name as Black Widow. They loved even when they didn't understand it very well.

Every time he was on the TV, Nina just wanted to turn her eyes to side. It was that or checking the time on her phone, going to the bathroom or the kitchen. She didn't wanted to look at him, thinking about the kiss and getting sad in front of her niece and nephew. She lied to the kids telling them that Seb was working and that she didn't knew when he'd come back home, but that it'd probably be late in the night. But when the kids were asleep she couldn't take her eyes out of the screen where Bucky fighting with Steve. All that she wanted in that moment was a stupid answer to the question inside of her head.

When the movie was over, Nina turned off the TV. The kids where still sleeping when she heard a key opening the door and her heart stopped for a second. Sebastian closed the door and none of them said anything, but Dean woke up the second he heard the door. "Hi Seb" the little kid murmured, rubbing his eyes and raising his head from the lap of her aunt.
