The Arrogant Player

Part 22

You got back to your house, back against the front door as you crumpled to the floor, your head in your hands.

You had no idea what to do.

Sebastian Stan was in love with you.

There was a part of you that was almost excited. But then you thought about what else he said.

How you were with Chris because it was easy....

the thought made you feel sick.

You loved Chris....

but were you really in love with him?

Maybe Sebastian was right- maybe you really were in love with him.

NOPE.

You weren't going to let those thoughts in for long- you quickly shoved them away.

How had this even happened???

You had gotten yourself into a bigger mess then you ever could've imagined...

and now you still had to work with Sebastian...

could it get any worse??

•••

You showed up to work on Monday, ready for business. It was the worst timing ever- but you had to film some hotter scenes with Sebastian.

You weren't ready at all but you forced yourself to be in business-mode.

No time for feelings.

No time for your heart to race at every touch...

but then they started filming and his hands were on your waist.

That alone caused your entire body to ignite, your heart racing as every hair on your body stood up.

His lips met yours hungrily and you had to constantly remind yourself it was for the movie.

One hand was holding your waist while the other was touching your face, playing with your hair.

You couldn't focus.

You pulled away before they said CUT and literally ran off the set. You got to your dressing room, heart pounding as you opened and slammed the door shut, leaned against the door. You slid down so you were sitting and for some reason you started to cry.

What the heck was going on with you??

You knew what you had to do.

You had to end things with Chris.

But how could you just pick up things with Seb after that?

How could you replace Chris so easily?

How could even make it through the day, filming scenes with Sebastian?

Every part of your body was aching.

You felt so lost and confused, yet the answer was staring you right in the face...

it was just too hard....

Sebastian's words continued to echo in your ears, and you couldn't possibly get them out.

They were haunting you....

you heard footsteps outside and reached up to lock your door.

And then the pounding, "(y/n)!!"

It was Chris shouting, and he sounded so worried. But you couldn't bring yourself to see him right now. Not when you knew that you would have to break his heart....would you really be able to?

"Go away," you replied.

"You just left set!! Everyone's worried about you, are you okay?" he asked through the door; his voice was so tender and sincere.

"I-I think I need a day off," you replied.

"Uh...I'll see what they say...what's wrong??" he asked.

"I'm just not feeling up to it today, Chris..." you replied.

"I'll go talk to the director," he said, and you heard his footsteps as he walked away.

Eventually, they returned and he said, "You can have the day off...he's not happy but he knows it's best. He can tell you're in distress."

Is that what to call it?

Distress?

There were too many things to be feeling right now....

He paused, "How...how about we spend the day together? There's so much we can do, and maybe it can take your mind off whatever is going on."

You hesitated, before standing up and facing the door.

You wiped your eyes and opened the door, "I think that would be lovely."
