The next hour was spent with Sebastian taking me from person to person. Excitedly introducing me to his friends, he never stated who I was to him. I was just Jay, and that was okay with me. Mackie gave him a side eye and the most wickedest smirk when Sebastian introduced me to him.
"You must be rooftop." He chuckled, taking my hand in his, shaking it. "I've heard a lot about you."
"Really? Good things I hope." I replied returning his smile.
"Yeah, they're all good things, he just didn't tell me how beautiful you were." Mackie winked at me, before looking over at Sebastian who was rolling his eyes.
"And that's the reason I didn't." Sebastian start laughing. "Cause then you'd be begging to meet her, just so you could flirt."
"I was just complimenting the pretty lady, why you gotta be like that?" Mackie stated laughing. Chris came around a corner with a panicked look, his chest heaving. His eyes landed on me, I walked around Sebastian trailing my fingers a cross his lower back as I walked over to Chris.
"Chris, are you okay?" I asked, grabbing at his hand. He sighed when he looked past me to Sebastian and Mackie.
"Yeah, I just thought." He breathed, looking back to me. "I thought maybe you left, I didn't even think about it. Scarlett asked me something and pulled me into an argument and next thing I know is you were gone."
"Sebastian caught me, I should of told you. I'm sorry." I reached out and wrapped my arms around him.
"It's alright, Seb knew we were coming, I just should of thought about it. I knew he'd snag you to show you off." Chris whispered as he let me go.
"That he did." I chuckled walking back to Sebastian and Mackie. Mackie gave us a knowing smirk, winking at us as we walked up.
     "So, I gotta ask, how's this all working out?" He asked with genuine curiosity, I looked from Sebastian to Chris. I shrugged at him, biting my lip trying to smile to hard.
   "We're still figuring all of that out." Chris responded giving my hand a gentle squeeze.
    "So you know?" I asked.
     "Yeah, the of both them kept talking about this neighbor, rooftop and sunrise, took me a bit to figure out it was the same girl. But sexy-sea bass here explained it to me." Mackie threw his arm over Sebastian's shoulder as the man covered his face at the nick name.
    "And you thought Hollywood was a weird name?" I exclaimed to Chris, pushing him in the chest lightly.
"Hey, it's not that weird of name." Mackie defended himself, crossing his arms, trying desperately to mean mug me. I just shook my head at him laughing lightly.
    "Whatever you say." I responded.
     Much of my time on set was spend introducing me to their friends, showing me around. Squabbles broke out over what to show me first, who would be introduced in what order. I couldn't contain my laughter at the two men, It's was a blessed break in reality for me.
     The sun was getting low as the three of us left in two different car heading back to the city. My heart was light as we stopped by a local diner, the same one I had had a panic attack in what seemed like so long ago. They sat opposite of me, poking fun at each other.
     I took a deep breath, sighing as I watch my boys, my Hollywood and my Muscles. Two people who had suddenly became my entire life, men I felt a comfortable safety with them.
     "So how do we do this?" Chris asked looking from Sebastian to me. " I mean we only have like a month of filming left, and after that you go back to New York and I go back to Boston."
      "I've been trying to figure that out as well." Sebastian stated popping a fry into his mouth.
     "So I spend time with you both." I shrugged, taking a sip of water. "Boston and New York."
     "And when we film?" Chris asked raising his eyebrow.
     "We'll worry about that when you guys film." I replied.
      "The other thing we need to figure out is the press, I even hate bringing it up but it's only a matter of time." Sebastian sighed, leaning back. "Especially since we still have worry about dickhead."
     "I didn't even think about that, but you have a point." I said, the heavy weight of the world falling back on shoulders. This was the last thing they should have to worry about.
     "Rooftop, stop that line of thinking." Sebastian warned, I snapped my eyes up from the table, meeting his.
     "Then we don't take her out in public. She's been able to move somewhat freely before hand, with her going between two states it will be harder. We get her car, register it in one of our names so she doesn't have to take a train or bus, that should buy us some more time." Chris said, wiping his hands together.
     And suddenly that weight was lifted, he thought of a good idea. It wouldn't work long term but it gave me hope. A hope I so desperately needed.
    "Alright, I guess that's settled for now." Sebastian smirked, tossing cash on the table. "I think it's time to go home, watch a movie and all snuggle with sexy lady."
     "Sounds perfect." I said with a smile, I wish I could of lived in that moment for the rest of my life.
