"I just don't understand why we couldn't stop for coffee! That's all I'm saying."
"Because Mackie here couldn't stop doing his hair!"
"Hey man you could've spent more time doing your hair, look! Look at this mop top thing you got going on."
Anthony reached over and toyed with Sebastian's hair, mussing it up more than it already was. He hated his hair long, but hadn't had time to cut it having just finished filming.
"Guys quit it. Until I've had coffee, no loud noises please." Quipped Chris.
Both Sebastian and Anthony rolled their eyes at their co-star.
"Where are we going by the way? I've lost track." Said Anthony, pinching the bridge of his nose as he tried to remember.
"Uh it's called TwoKeys I think. It's a new arts magazine." Replied Sebastian.
"Well look at Mr Research over here." Chris said jokingly, slapping his friend on the shoulder.
"Hey just because I have the decency to know where I'm going doesn't make me a geek." Pouted the actor.
"Fellas we're here." Spoke the driver.
The three men piled out of the car and stood at the entrance of the building. It was a weekend and no one was around. The door wasn't even open.
"Did we get the time wrong?" Asked Chris.
"Don't think so, schedule says 10am." Replied Sebastian.
"Maybe the girls took one look at you and ran away!" Joked Anthony, poking Sebastian in his ribs making him curl his fist and punch his friend in the arm.
"Girls? I thought it was this Richard guy we were meeting?" Asked Chris.
"Wow you really need that coffee don't you Evans?" Retorted Sebastian. Chris shrugged his shoulders in defeat.
"Since Downey and Renner had super dad business to attend to this interview got shifted so Richard couldn't do it. Now we're meeting other people." Sighed Sebastian. "Reagan and Isabel I think their names are.
"Ooh looks like Seb got a bit ahead of himself and did some stalking! Been that long huh?" Anthony said winking at Sebastian. Before he could reply in his defence, the door before them swung open to reveal a tall blonde woman standing in the doorway.
"Hi guys welcome!" She said, beaming at them.
"Hi there sweetheart how are you?" Anthony was the first to extend his greeting, gently shaking the girl's hand. Internally both Chris and Sebastian rolled their eyes. Damn Mackie always playing the player.
"You'll have to excuse my co-worker he has a tendency to be a pest." Said Chris as he too shook her hand.
"Oh it's alright I don't mind! My name's Reagan I'll be filming and taking some photos today. Come in."
The three boys fell in line as they entered the office, Sebastian bringing up the rear. As they rounded the corner into the studio, Sebastian's eyes fell on a shadow in the far corner. The room was lit brightly for the aforementioned photos and off to the side sat another girl. Shorter than Reagan with darker hair. This, he assumed, was Isabel.
As if on cue she looked up from her laptop and stood to greet them. By the time he realised he had been staring at her, Anthony and Chris had already introduced themselves to her. She walked over to him and extended her hand, smiling sweetly from between her curtain of chocolate hair.
"Isabel." She spoke. Her voice was kind but confident.
"Sebastian." He replied and took her hand in his. She shook it with purpose and he was surprised at her demeanour. Usually by now, a girl would be laughing and saying "Oh of course you're Sebastian how silly of me, I of course know who you are I am such a fan blah blah blah."
But not Isabel.
Sebastian took in her dark eyes and olive skin. He couldn't help but notice how her height was perfectly level with his chest. Small but she seemed to take up half the room.
It wasn't until a good few seconds later that he realised he still had her hand in his and she was staring up at him with her large brown eyes. He smiled shyly.
"Good to meet you Isabel." He awkwardly stated, letting go of her hand.
"Oh likewise! Thank you for coming on such short notice." She replied. Obviously referring to the change of schedule.
"No no it's fine you get used to it."
She held his gaze for a few seconds longer before she heard Chris laugh loudly. Sebastian turned to see his friends joking around with Reagan, mostly it was Anthony making her double over with laughter.
"Alright guys be chill. These girls are professionals lets not mess up their studio." Sebastian said with mock seriousness.
He heard Isabel gently giggle next to him and she reached out to touch his arm.
"Don't worry, if anything get's broken it get's taken out of our boss' pay not ours" she winked at him.
He laughed at her statement relishing in the way her cheeks dimpled when she smiled.
Jesus stop being a weirdo, Stan he thought to himself.
