Sebastián

t h i r t e e n

I've never felt more proud of myself in my life. For a month, I have successfully and fully ignored Sebastián, sticking to my word. He still hasn't apologized.

The new year had begun and I was extra motivated to continue to live the life I wanted. Plus, I didn't have to worry about money so I could pursue any resolution I wanted. I could even do one of those expensive juice cleanses that the celebrities do, or get a monthly subscription box, yes, that sounds fun.

I pull out my laptop with the intention of finding a company worthy of a monthly subscription when Sebastián walks in. I can't help myself from risking a quick glance before huddling over my computer again. I'm actually really glad Sebastián forced me to get a laptop, it's really entertaining.

"Cristine" Ignored "Cristine!" Ignored times two "Goddammit Cristine I'm sorry ok!" My head snaps up seeing a very frustrated Sebastián.

"What did you say?" My eyes blink, feigning innocence. Nuh uh honey, you gotta try harder to get my forgiveness.

"I said I'm sorry Cristine, I'm so fucking sorry" He walks up to the bed, sitting on the edge. "I miss you" I almost didn't hear him, it was a weak whisper. Our eyes meet, he really was being sincere.

"What exactly are you sorry for?" I stare him down, my chin slightly raised. He uses his entire existence to suppress an eye-roll, knowing it'll make me ignore him again.

"I'm sorry for being a dick, all of the times, I'm sorry for all the times I've been a dick" He sighs. For the first time in a while, I really look at him. He had dark circles under his eyes, bruises on his cheekbones and knuckles as if he had been fighting someone, I can't imgine who.

"Why did it take you so long?" The hurt in my voice is unsupressable, it had been a long month.

He runs a hand through his dark hair, making it messier than it already was.

"I don't know...I guess my Uncle helped me realize that I fucking suck" I frown.

"You dont suck" Closing my laptop I scoot towards him on the bed and lean my head against his shoulder. He stiffens at first but then immediately relaxes. "You just say sucky things" He scoffs.

"Same difference" The ends of my lips slightly raise, all of my anger had completely dissipated. For the first time in a month, I felt like I could breathe again, knowing that we were on good terms.

"I forgive you Sebastián" He pulls away, grabbing my shoulders so he can look me in the eye.

"You do?" Now my face held a full blown smile, he looked like a kid on Christmas morning. I dont say anything, just nod. That's enough for him to softly grab my face and bring his lips to mine. It wasn't aggressive or anything, it was tender, it held emotion. All of the lost, suppressed feelings and the aching for each other was released into the kiss and damn it felt good.

I got the Alpha King to grovel.

Someone give me an award.

"What were you doing on the laptop?" We now laid against the headboard. His hands were around my waist, his face buried in my neck and  his chin resting on my shoulder as I sat between his legs. His body heat comepletely enveloped me, making me feel just the right amount of comfortable warmth.

"Just some online shopping" I admit. Since I didn't have any makeup here, and I would probably need some, I decided to browse the Sephora website to get just the bare essentials.

"That one looks nice" He points to some matte red lipstick that I just about scrolled past. "It'll compliment your eyes" His green eyes my blue ones. I'd never really tried any makeup before, I was too young and my Mother wouldn't allow it, but now, maybe red lipstick was good. Something bold, something adult.
