The Arrogant Player

Part 33

Wow.

Life really was depressing when you were by yourself.

You didn't realize how much Seb impacted you until suddenly he was no longer always around.

You knew it was your fault.

You left him for heavens sake why'd you have to miss him constantly.

But what hurt you more was that you hadn't even heard from Seb since you left.

It had been a week and not one phone call. You got that maybe he was just trying to give you space, but you had thought he had cared. You thought that he would care enough to even call.

But no....maybe he didn't care as much as you thought after all....

•••

The week flew on by and you were bored out of your mind. You really should consider calling your agent to see if you can start trying for another role somewhere somehow...you just wanted to act.

Your last movie had been a flop and ended because of...thoughts you shouldn't think... you missed the busy life. You would miss the cast of that movie and you definitely missed Sebastian...

Suddenly, as if Sebastian was reading your mind from afar, you got a text:

Hey!! It's been a while. I just wanted to give you some space for a while...never meant to let a week go by without talking to you though and i honestly kinda feel awful for doing that. I really do care about you (y/n) and i hope that you are doing okay on your own. I miss your constant company, even though you did steal the bed from me and you were sometimes a pain (jk) ;).  Anyway, please let me know how you're doing!!

You stared at your phone.

You were frozen and you didn't know what to do.

But your read was on and Seb would know that you saw it even if you didn't answer. Yet you turned off your phone and decided to keep going on throughout your day... until...

DING:

Woww are you really going to leave this guy on read? Aren't i too hot for that?

"OOOF WOW SEBASTIAN" you thought, but you decided to leave him on read again just for fun...

DING:

wow, that hurt. do you not think i'm hot anymore?

finally, you replied:

when have i EVER called you hot, sebastian??

sebastian:

fine. you called me attractiveeeeee

you:

when i was drunk🙄🙄

sebastian:

yeah cuz that's was drunk people do. admit hidden and deep secrets :)

you:

shut up.

sebastian:

you:

fine. i'll drive over there rn.

sebastian:

would you really? :)

you:

no. i'm not giving you the joy of seeing my face.... i left for a reason seb now can we stop the flirting??

This time it was Sebastian's turn to leave you on read, and that really got to you.

Had you offended him??

Was that the wrong thing to say...you wish you could've taken it back...

But you just stared at the screen until finally you turned off your phone.

It was night time so you went upstairs and began getting ready for bed.

You were brushing your teeth when... DING!!

You checked your phone so quickly it scared you, but you were disappointed to see it wasn't a text from Sebastian.

However, it WAS a text from an old friend, Hailey: what's up, girl??! it has been WAY too long since the last time we hung out. I was wondering if you were free tomorrow and you wanted to go to dinner tomorrow night and maybe hit up a bar or something?!

You quickly replied:

HAILEY!!! Heyyyy!!! And yeah TOTALLY i don't have a life currently cuz i'm not working on any projects rn so i'm always free😂🤷🏼‍♀️

hailey:

Okay sounds great!! Do you want me to stop by your place so we can get ready before? I think we should aim to be total knockouts like back in the day ;)

you:

yeah sure!! sounds great- can't wait :)

Hailey showed up at your house at 6 the next day and you two instantly reconnected. Hailey was the type of friend that no matter how long you had been apart, things never got awkward between the two and it seemed like you never grew distant. Hailey was already naturally stunning and her black dress and heels and makeup made her even more of a knockout. You had waves in your hair and were wearing a short red dress with heels. You had winged eyeliner and the rest of your makeup looked decent but when you stepped out all ready you knew that Hailey was the bigger knockout.

"You look gorgeous, (y/n)!! And you're FAMOUS so all the guys are definitely going to be all over you," Hailey said excitedly.

"Yeah...for all the wrong reasons..." you replied.

"NOPE. I don't like that attitude, (y/n). Tonight we are going to have fun. Like the good ol days. Come on, we can't miss our reservation..."

•••

Dinner was amazingly delicious and you felt everyone's eyes on the two of you as you walked. A few people walked up to you and asked for pictures and autographs and fortunately Hailey didn't seem fazed by it. The restaurant was connected to a bar so afterward you and Hailey headed over there and found yourself a seat.

You ordered drinks, but you honestly didn't feel like getting drunk tonight...

Hailey seemed like the opposite, however, as she continued to get more drinks until finally she ditched you for a hot guy.

So, you just sat there, feeling lonely, until suddenly you noticed someone sit down beside you.

You turned to see CHRIS FREAKIN HEMSWORTH???

IN THE SEAT NEXT TO YOU.

Your eyes widened, "Uh...hi..."
