Juliette and her not so Romeo ---- A Sebastian Stan story

Chapter fourteen

"Do you want another one" Jj asked Sebastian while she pulled the marshmallow off the stick.

"I shouldn't." He said, already reaching for it then quickly shoving it in his mouth, marshmallow goo getting everywhere. This had been a perfect night, despite everything. The fresh air had done them both a world of good and had really opened Jj's eyes up to what she had in Sebastian. Sitting with him by this bonfire, her wearing his flannel and him with the scruffiest beard she had ever seen him with she knew that she was so in love with him. She obviously had know before, but after spending two weeks with him in a secluded cabin she really knew. She knew that if they could get through two weeks hiding from her crazed stalker, they could probably get through anything.

"What are you looking at?" He asked raising his eyebrows up and down at her over his beer can.

"You, cuz you're just so damn cute." She attempted to wink at him but ended up closing both her eyes, making Sebastian laugh so hard beer came out of his nose.

"I think it's we should maybe have a pre dinner nap." He said, still laughing while he wiped his face.

"I'm too tired. Carry me." She pouted while she watched him put out the fire.

"As you wish." He tossed her over his shoulder and gave her a pat on her bottom, making her laugh.

"I like it here." She told him after he gently tossed her on the bed and flopped next to her.

"Mhmm. Me too." He said, his eyes already closed. Jj was surprised that she wasn't as sleepy as him. They had both had a full day in the sun, kayaking, hiking and swimming off the pier.

She propped her head on her arm and watched him sleep. She absentmindedly bit her lip while she thought.  "Hey. Wake up. I want to tell you something." She whispered softly while gently brushing back his hair.

"Is Tom here?" He yawned.

"Not yet. I have to tell you something."

"Oh?"

"Were you serious about me coming with you, to LA, or where ever?"

This line of questioning woke Sebastian up and he pushed himself into a seated position. "I was, I still am."

"I've been thinking about it. I know you love New York, I also love New York, But maybe we both need a break from here?"

"A break?"

"I've always wanted to travel, and I have some savings. This maybe seems like the time. I wouldn't want to be here without you, I could also spend sometime with my family. And, Rachel thinks they're close in the case. She said they had some very promising leads."

"Are you thinking a career change?"

"I don't know." She smiled. "And I'm a little bit scared, but being with you makes me less scared."

"You're sure you want to leave a career you love to follow a schmuck like me around the world."

"If you still want me to."

Sebastian smiled and rolled out of the bed, then went to his suitcase and started to rummage around. 

"Babe, you realize we can't leave this minute? Tom's coming with groceries."

"I have something for you." He rejoined her on the bed and held out a ring box. Jj gasped and brought her hand to her mouth. "Jj. I know we haven't been together for that long, but I've always believed that when you know, you know, and with you, I know. I want to travel everywhere in the world with you, and it would be the greatest honour if we could take this adventure as husband and wife. So Juliette Collins, will you please marry me."

"Yes Seb. Oh my god." Her hand was shaking while he slid the ring on her finger.

"I hope you like it.  If you want something else we can go and look."

"No Seb, I love it." She was crying. "I love you."

"I love you." He leaned in and kissed her, pulling her close.  They started getting handsy with each other and things started to get hot and heavy until the sound of tires crunching up the gravel road interrupted the moment.

"I'll go give Tom a hand with the groceries. Give you a second." He pulled his shirt over his head and kissed her forehead before heading out. 

Jj looked at her ring and smiled once more before pulling Sebastian's flannel shirt on. She was buttoning it up when she heard the sound of something shattering.

"You guys all right out there." She called, looking for her pants. She wondered what they broke and went on to investigate. "I swear Tom, if you dropped the beer." Jj looked outside and didn't see them. "Guys?"

"They won't be around to bother us anymore." A unfamiliar voice said, sending a shiver down Jj's spine.
