pictures of you {s. stan}

27; real life

sebastian walked towards veronica's room. he was beyond nervous. he was finally going to tell her how he felt, and no one was going to stop him. well, at this point, maybe his nerves would stop him.

in veronica's room, tom sat next to her watching 30 rock reruns. he had his arm resting on the couch behind her when there was a knock at the door.

veronica groaned before getting off the couch to open it.

"who is it?" tom asked.

"does it look like i know who it is, thomas?"

she looked out the peephole and was confused when she saw who it was. she opened the door and stared at the man confusedly.

"what are you doing here, did we have plans?" she asked him.

"uh, no, i was just wondering if we could talk." he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"who is it, ronnie!" exclaimed tom.

sebastian looked behind veronica, his brows furrowed in confusion before reacting, "i can come back, if you'd like. i mean, it's not that important."

"are you sure, seb? it seems kinda urgent to me." she tilted her head to the side slightly.

"yeah, babe, don't worry about me. i'll see you later." he nodded before leaning in to press a light kiss on her cheek.

veronica watched him walk away, she knew there was something bothering him and he wanted to say something. then she realised it was tom that made him change his mind.

sebastian walked away slightly annoyed with himself. he should've still done it, he thought. he shouldn't let that guy keep him from getting with veronica.

      the man groaned internally, he didn't know when he'd be able to confess to her. he was sure he'd lose his guts later.

      "you don't have a boyfriend, veronica?" tom asked the girl suddenly.

      "um, no.. why?" she questioned.

      "well, a girl as stunning as you should have a man, don't you think?"

      "it's not like i'm nothing without a guy, tom, i'm allowed to be single." she defended herself.

      "woah, i didn't mean to offend, i was just asking, ya know?"

      "why do you ask?" veronica raised her eyebrow at the british boy.

      "well, sebastian literally drools for you and you don't do anything about it." he snorted.

      "what? shut up, no he doesn't." she exclaimed.

      "you can't be that dumb, ronnie!" tom laughed loudly.

      "tom, sebastian is not into me, seriously."

      "veronica, look, anyone can see that he fancies you." he grinned.

      "i don't know what that means." she rolled her eyes.

      "ugh, how do your people say it... ummm, sebastian gustas you!" the boy cried out.

      veronica wasn't sure if to laugh or slap him. how would tom know what seb feels for her? the two were always arguing when they were together, when did they have time for a real heartfelt conversation?

      "you should go to him." tom broke the girl out of her thoughts.

      "hm?"

      tom rolled his eyes, "go talk to him, veronica." the boy nudged ronnie.

      "wha- but we're hanging out!" she quickly responded.

      "i'll be here when you get back! gooo!"

      so veronica was kicked out of her room by her best friend and forced to go talk to sebastian. she made her way to the mans room and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw someone she never thought she'd see in real life. margarita levieva. she was even prettier in person. veronica tried hiding around the corner and listened.

"you were supposed to call me back last night." the woman said.

"yeah, i got a little held up. what are you doing here? i thought i was coming to you?"

"i was around and just decided to come by rather than have you go. are you going to invite me in?"

her comment was followed by the shutting of a door. veronica stayed still a while longer, had sebastian been leading her on? there was clearly something going on between him and margarita again.

veronica power walked to her room and slammed the door.

"hey! what happened?" tom's grin immediately disappeared when he looked at the girl.

"nothing. seb and i aren't gonna happen." she said firmly.
