Summer in LA

Chapter 2 - Coffee?

Sarah's P.O.V
My mum and I were walking around the streets of LA, shopping and exploring. We turned a corner and my mum froze,
"It's-" she was stuck,
I looked to where she was staring and I noticed no other than the Sebastian Stan,
"Let's go say hello" I said turning to face her
"I can't" she shook her head
"Mum if you don't you'll regret it" I told her knowing she would
"Okay" she nodded reluctantly.
We walked forward and when we reached him his back was turned,
"Excuse me" I spoke up,
He turned around and smiled, my mums eyes went wide and what she did next I never expected,
"She's single and legal" she squeeked and pushed me into him before running away.
I was so embarrassed, I stepped away from him and began apologising,
"I'm so sorry, she's a really big fan and I'd say she just freaked out" I laughed awkwardly "let me buy you a coffee or something to say sorry for having me flung at you"
"It's okay don't worry about it, worse fan encounters have happened" he laughed
"I'm still sorry" I smiled "so coffee?" I pointed behind my back knowing there was a Starbucks a few buildings back
"Yeah sure, but I'm paying" he smiled nodding
"That would defeat the purpose of me buying you one to say sorry" I laughed
"You can buy me one some other time" he shrugged
"There's going to be another time?" I raised my eyebrow
"How about you tell me after this coffee" he winked before beginning to walk towards the coffee shop,
"So where you from?" He asked glancing at me
"Ireland" I answered
"What are you doing over here?"
"I have family here so we're visiting for the summer" I explained
"How you enjoying it so far?"
"Well I've only been here two days but so far it's pretty good" I nodded.
We arrived at the coffee shop and when we walked in the fresh smell of coffee beans hit my face making me feel more relaxed,
"So what can I get you?" He turned to me
"I'll just have a latte" I smiled,
He went up to the counter and ordered our coffees and when he got them I went to find a place to sit,
"Where you going?" He asked looking at me
"To sit down?" I laughed
"You're in LA, we're going sightseeing" he smiled "come on" he held out his hand,
I walked forward and grabbed his hand, I thought I heard a camera but I just ignored it.
When we walked outside I turned to him,
"So where are we going?" I asked
"Everywhere" he smiled
"You know you're still holding my hand?" I questioned raising and eyebrow
"I know" he nodded before beginning to walk.

We went literally everywhere just like he said and I had so much fun, we talked and laughed and he let me be a typical girl and take photos of me at the places for Instagram,
"Speaking of instagram what's your user? I'll follow you" he smiled taking out his phone
"You don't have to do that" I shook my head
"I want to" he looked at me handing me his phone
"You don't have to treat me like a fan" I laughed
"I'm not?" He shook his head "I don't go sightseeing with all my fans and I don't ask any on a date" he smirked
"Is that your way of asking me on a date?" I smiled
"Yeah, does it need some work?" He asked
"Just a little" I joked
"Well how's this" he paused to take ahold of my hands "Sarah, would you please accompany me on a date tonight?" He smiled
"I would love to" I couldn't contain my smile
"So now can I have your instagram?" He joked
"Yes now you can have my instagram" I laughed typing my name into his phone and hitting follow
"And how about your number?" He smirked
"You'd have to work a bit harder for that" I stuck my tongue out
"Okay okay, how about you give it to me after our date?" He asked
"I'll see" I smirked.

We walked around some more and soon it was time for me to back to my aunts, he drove me home and the minute I got in the door I had a dm on instagram
I'll pick you up at 7 x
Okay what should I wear? x
That black dress I got you to buy x
Okay I'll see you at 7 then x
I walked into the kitchen and seen my mum,
"I'm sorry" she laughed
"Don't be, I had a really good day" I smiled getting a bottle of water
"What do you mean?" She looked confused and that's when I told her all about my day with Sebastian and she was freaking out
"MY daughter is going on a date with THE Sebastian Stan!" She squeeled
"What is that I hear?" My aunt walked into the room
"Sarah is going on a date with Sebastian Stan!" My mum repeated
"No way!" My aunt squeeled
"You two are like teenage girls" I laughed.

I was in my room staring at myself in the mirror, I felt hot for the first time in a long time. I smoothed out my black dress (above^) when I heard a car door close outside, I glanced out the window and seen Sebastian walking towards the house, I checked in the mirror once more before gathering my things, just as I finished I heard my aunt call,
"SARAH!!"
"COMING" I yelled back,
I walked downstairs and smiled when I seen Sebastian, I don't know what it is about him he just makes me feel happy,
"You look beautiful" he smiled before kissing my cheek
"Thank you, you look handsome" I smiled admiring his suit
"It was nice to meet you Pam" he shook my aunts hand.
We walked out and got into his car and he laughed,
"What?" I looked at him
"Your mum still freaking out?" He smiled
"Yes" I laughed nodding "so where are we going?" I asked as he started to drive
"One of my favourite restaurants, you're gonna love it" he smiled.

We arrived at the restaurant and he help my hand as we walked in
"This place is really fancy, are you sure you don't want to go somewhere different?" I whispered not sure if I felt okay with him spending this kind of money on me
"I'm positive" he whispered back.

We were seated at a table in the corner of the restaurant and we spent the night talking and laughing just like we had earlier that day.
When we left he drove us to a park to walk around,
"This place is beautiful" I admired our surroundings
"I love to come here at night cause it's so quiet" he looked at me
"So tell me what you want in your future?" He asked
"Well obviously I want to get married to the love of my life and have kids, being here even has me thinking that I'd love to move to LA" I thought
"And what about a career?" He looked down at me
"Well I'm not sure, I mean I've always loved singing and I think if I really did move to LA I would want to pursue it even more but I doubt I'd be good enough but other than that I just want to do something that makes me happy, like back home I'm a makeup artist" I explained
"Sing for me" is all he said
"What?" I laughed,
He stood in front of me smiling,
"Sing for me"
"There's no music to sing to" I shook my head
"There doesn't need to be"
"Okay, emm" I thought of a song to sing
You must think that I'm stupid
You must think that I'm a fool
I began to sing too good at goodbyes by Sam Smith. When I was singing I put all my heart into it and Sebastian was smiling slightly looking in my eyes.
I'm way too good at goodbyes
I finished after the first chorus and waited for his response,
"You really doubt that you wouldn't be good enough to have a career in singing? You are amazing" he smiled
"Really?" I asked unsure
"Really" he held my hands,
He looked into my eyes and then down to my lips,
"Can I kiss you?" He whispered,
I couldn't answer so all I did was nod with the biggest smile on my face. He leaned forward and placed his lips on mine and it felt amazing, I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach. He pulled away and we both smiled at each other not saying anything until,
"Woah" he breathed
"Exactly what I was thinking" I laughed.
He drove me home and walked me to the door and kissed me goodbye and when I got inside I got to relive the entire night when I told my aunt and mum.
