The Arrogant Player

Part 8

You got to work the next day right on time, holding your script and coffee, your purse around your shoulder. Everyone was coming in or already here and suddenly the director called you over.

You walked over to him and he said, "Okay. So change of plans. Chris had to go to a shooting for some magazine so it's just going to be you and Sebastian scenes today. We are going to start rehearsing as many as we can."

"Uh okay...but where's Sebastian?" you asked, only to see him pointing behind you.

You turn around to see Sebastian walking over.

He was wearing black pants and a tight grey shirt that hugged his biceps, his hair tousled and acing the messy but hot look.

You subconsciously licked your lips.

Soon he was standing right in front of you and you were breathing in his cologne.

Smelled so good...you couldn't help but imagine your dream about him last night..

SHUT UP, Y/N!

You internally slapped yourself as Sebastian raised his eyebrows, "Is there a reason why you're staring at me? Are you just that attracted to me?"

Oh you don't even know, whispered half of your brain, and you internally slapped yourself for that.

"Sorry I was zoned out," you said, turning back to face the director, blushing.

"So, Sebastian, Chris won't be making today's rehearsal but that's okay because we can focus on the two of you," explained the director.

"Sounds great," Sebastian said, reaching out and giving your back a pat.

You flinched away from his touch but his hand lingered there, softly caressing your back.

"Excuse me, I don't think that's appropriate," you said, pushing his hand off your back.

"Just jumping into character," Sebastian replied, so close that you could feel his hot breath on your face.

You backed away, "You need a mint."

"Okay you two!! let's begin the rehearsal," interrupted the director, eyeing the two of you.

"Happy to. What scene first?" Sebastian asked.

He gave the page number and the two of you flipped to it.

"Ooh the first kiss," Sebastian murmured as he looked through the part.

"We won't be acting out the kissing quite yet, however. That is, unless you would prefer it," said the director.

"Yes please," Sebastian said, at the same time as you said, "No thanks." 

"But I would prefer that you two had a little practice before we begin shooting."

"You hear that? Practice," Sebastian whispered in your ear.

"Okay so do every part except the kissing for now," he explained, "begin."

You began, "Hunter (Sebastian)...what are you doing here?"

Sebastian was standing distanced and took a step closer, running his fingers through his hair thoughtfully as he said, "I had to see you."

"Oh...is there a reason?" you asked, making your voice sound unsure.

He was continuously walking closer to you until he stood one foot in front of you.

"There might be."

"Can you tell me?" you asked.

He turned away from you, "I don't want to ruin things."

"What do you mean, Hunter? You're my friend..."
