Jessalin’s POV
I woke up to the sun glaring on me. And then my senses started kicking in. This is not my bed, this is not my room. Where am I?
Then I hear pots and pans downstairs. So I slowly get out of bed. Thank God I’m Still wearing my clothes , but my dress is short so I see a dress shirt tossed on a chair in the corner of the room and then put it over my dress and make my way downstairs. Then I mentally curse myself as I realise I am standing in Sebastian Stan’s home. He could of worn jeans, shorts, even boxers would suffice …No he had to be in a towel, he is supposed to be rich why is it so small? Not that t was really bothering me.
His hair is still wet and he looks like he is frying eggs, and bacon. I so in my own head because I don’t even realise that he is staring at me staring back at him.
He fake coughs to bring me out of my trance, and then he smirks.
“I thought that you would be hungry so I quickly whipped up something, I hope I didn’t wake you up?”
“Why didn’t you take me home?”
“Because you would not wake up when I tried asking you, heck I had to carry you all the way to my room”
Oh my word he picked me up, my weight is not exactly on the skinny side of life, how the hell di he manage to do that- what if has muscle cramps because of me?
Sebastian seeing the worry on my face came to his own conclusion.
“Don’t worry about the sleeping arrangements, I slept on the couch downstairs. “ Wow, that didn’t even cross my mind.
“Well thank-you for everything, I really should be on my way, sorry for putting you in this position.”
“Whoa, wait a minute, at least have some breakfast, I slaved here all morning” He then looked at me with his intense blue eyes. I mean How do say no to that.
“But you said you whipped it up quickly?” He looked so defeated
“Come on just have a bit of breakfast I know you are hungry” Then my stomach starts growling for the both of us to hear, seriously stomach, how dare you betray me in such a dire time. And then he just smirked and made his way to the island and pulled out two plates and started dishing up.
I thanked him for food, and dug in, at first it was just silence, but a comfortable silence like we are used to this routine. And then he broke it.
“About last night-“
“Yeah I actually wanted to apologise for the accusing you of following me, then dancing with you like that, then falling asleep in your car, then you having to carry my heavy self-up the stairs…I’m so embarrassed.”
I held my face in my palms. Then he pulled my hands off my face.
“Hey firstly there is nothing to apologize for, secondly I kind of followed you “, I then gave him the one eyebrow look. “I own the club and I normally check in on Fridays so it was just a coincidence that you and your friend chose to go to my club.” “Lastly carrying you was definitely the highlight of my evening, well it was actually grinding on you in the club and then when we-“
“Okay I get it, but why have a club called Gary’s?”
“Well the last owner had the building as a diner and asked me to keep the name as it was a gift he got from his dad”
“Aww, that’s cute, and well done I really like your club, it’s been a while since I have been out and besides that one mishap which thanks to you for sorting out, I really enjoyed myself”
He smiled in such a way you could make a poor man think he was the president.
“Im just glad that you are glad” He took our plates and loaded them into the dish washer.
“Why are you so nice to me Bash?”
“Bash?”
“Well everyone else calls you Seb, and well I have this rule with myself, that if you have a nickname, then one I use has to be different from everyone else”
“Bash…I like it, but to answer your question, I like you Jessalin, I like you a lot and I want to get to know you” I was taken aback, that was not the response I expected why me though?
“I don’t know what to say Bash, I mean I am damaged goods and I and come with baggage and you are a celebrity”
“But that all doesn’t really matter, I am loyal and I know it will take time to get used to it, but I can take it slow, also Lucian likes me” I didn’t know what to say.
“ I know what we shared in the club was magic, I know that you felt it too Jess”
“Okay Im will to give it a try, give us a try” I said and then I smiled, And his eyes just lit up like the fourth of July. The he did the cutest thing ever, he asked me if he could kiss me. Of course I said yes, an boy was that kiss good, I mean it started to get heavy already, but I just agreed to try This out, and so I pushed back and told him “Slow” and he just nodded. And then he got up to go and put on some clothes.
From there on we spent of the day in his living room watching movies and getting to know each other.
And when evening came, Sebastian managed to convince me to stay the night again with him, saying he had to go to Mackie anyway and so I would be able to get Lucian same time. Sebastian offered to sleep on the couch again but I said that I would just sleep in a guest room, then he countered he would of done that the night before, but they are both being renovated and that he did not mind taking the couch again. But I would not have that, we were both grown, we could share a bed without having any funny business. And so we ended up sharing his bed, with no funny business, but Sebastian did hold on to me like was his teddy bear, I did not mind at all – It was nice to be held by a man like that again. And before I knew I had drifted off into a deep slumber.
