BEST MISTAKE, stan

0067

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY COMMENTED!"

Naomi paced back and forth, running her fingers through her damp curls. It was the last night of their little getaway and the last thing she wanted to do was ruin it by thinking of her piece of shit ex-boyfriend.

"I'm going to hurt him." Ryan said over the phone.

Naomj briefly glanced towards the bathroom, hearing that the shower was still running. "It's like whenever I forget he exists, he just pops back up and ruins everything."

He being Derek who was Naomi's ex. She wasn't sure if she could even call him that. He was just the piece of shit that fooled Naomi into thinking he actually cared about her. Which he didn't. His only intentions were to get her into bed, mark her off some list he had and dash her away like she meant nothing. The very night he got what he wanted, Naomi woke up to and empty bed, all of his things gone and her number blocked. He quite literally vanished.

It took forever for Naomi to get to the point that she was at now and she wasn't about to let him ruin anything.

"I'm over it." Naomi frowns. "I just want to know what the fuck he wants."

"Are you going to talk to him?"

She sighed. "I really don't want to."

The bathroom door slid open, revealing Sebastian in nothing but a white towel wrapped around his waist. She couldn't help the faint flicker of a smile that found her lips as she watched him maneuver around their room.

"Don't let him get to you." Ryan tells her. "He isn't worth it."

"I won't."

"Good. I'll let you go but call me if anything happens?"

"I will. Love you."

"Love you too babe." Ryan says just before she ends the call.

Naomi hadn't realized that Sebastian was watching her. She didn't realize he could see something was wrong just by her expression and body language. He immediately stopped what he was doing and walked over to her. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just...my ex boyfriend commented on the photo you uploaded of me."

"Alright.." He nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"He's...the one that tricked me." She sighed, leaning against his body to hide her embarrassment.

"Tricked you?"

There was a small pause as she looked away and tried to avoid Sebastian's eyes. Her teeth sunk into her bottom lip as she tried to blink away any tears before looking at him again.

"I told you once that someone pretended to care about me just to get me into bed. He sweet talked me and fed me all these lies only to disappear the second she got what he wanted."

A deep frown settled on Sebastian's face and his heart dropped as he saw the clear hurt in her eyes. "That's why you were so hesitant with me."

"I spent three months with him and one point he practically even lived with me and then when it happened, he just vanished."

"Hey, no." Sebastian was quick to say. He brushed his fingers so gently across her cheeks to wipe away any fallen tears. "He doesn't deserve your tears, angel."

"I'm sorry." Naomi sighed, sniffling lightly. "I haven't really thought of him or the situation much these days. I guess I have you to thank for that."

Sebastian smiled at her words. He couldn't help himself from placing a soft kiss to her lips. He intended to keep it light and playful but Naomi on the other hand had different plans. The kiss grew more desperate and somehow they landed on the bed.

He tried to keep weight light on top of her, shifting slightly which only caused his towel to slip from the loose knot around his waist.

"You're naked on top of me."

"What a shame it is that you aren't naked under me." He grinned as he planted multiple kisses all over her face. She giggled beneath his touch, leaning more into him. But before they could take it a step further, Sebastian drew back with a serious look on his face.

"That guy, he's fucking idiot Naomi and he has no idea what he lost because you are quite literally the prettiest, most loveliest woman I've ever laid my eyes on and everyday I wake up and I think of how lucky I am. To know you. To have in my arms. To be the reason behind your smile. To kiss you."

Heat rushed all throughout her body. "Seb."

"Thank you for giving me a chance. Thank you for allowing me to get to know you. Thank you for making me happy. Most importantly thank you for hitting me with a door." He added playfully, brushing his fingers through her unruly curls.

Before Naomi could make sense of what she was about to say, it had already left her lips. "God I love you."And embarrassment immediately flashing across her features realizing she had said it out loud.

A smile that Naomi was certain she had never seen before stretched over Sebastian's mouth. "You love me?"

Pushing her face into the crook of his neck, she placed a soft kiss to his warm skin. "I do."

"I love you Naomi." His voice got lower and he met her lips in a smashing kiss, sealing their love on the last night of vacation.
