Love, Lies, and Secrets (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Eighteen - August 25th

Sebastian and I went out every night after the perfect first date. He took me to expensive restaurants, while I took him around tourist attractions. He especially enjoyed the zoo that we went to the day after hour first date. His eyes practically sparkled when he saw the small animals. I didn't spend much time actually looking at the animals, most of my time was staring at the perfect boy that stood in front of me. I smiled every time he would point at an animal doing something cute or funny, his face lit up like a child on Christmas day.

"What are we doing today?" Sebastian asked as we settled onto my hotel sofa.

"I was going to hang out with Jacob, but I could tell him to bring Marie, make it a double date?"

"So him and Marie are an item now?" He cocked his head to the side in the cute way he does when he's confused, or in doubt.

"Well, not exactly. It won't be long though."

"They would be totally cute together." Sebastian grinned.

"George won't be too happy," I said.

"Who cares what George thinks? The minute he laid a finger on her, in a violent matter, he lost all authority to say what she could and couldn't do," Sebastian ranted. "Not that he had that authority in the first place, as Marie is a person not an object."

"You couldn't be more right," I agreed.

"Anyway, you didn't answer my question," Sebastian said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and drawing me close.

"Right. I was thinking back to the amusement park?"

"You mean the place I first suggested we become 'friends'?" He used air-quotations on 'friends'.

"That place exactly. I love it there."

"Me too."

"I'll text Jacob then. Get your stuff, and wait at your car. I'll be down in a minute."

"Alright."

Sebastian kissed my forehead, stood up and walked out of the room, humming as he went. I jumped up from the sofa, and made my way to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth quickly, checked myself in the mirror then headed out after my boyfriend.

"Where are they?" Sebastian questioned.

We were sat on a bench, waiting for my best friend and Marie.

"Jacob said he was leaving half an hour ago. He'll be here soon."

"He? Isn't Marie coming?"

"She had already made plans with Lily. I hope it's okay that only Jacob will be here."

"That's fine. Unless I'm fighting him for your affections, then it may get ugly."

"You don't need to worry about that, Sebby."

I tapped his nose with my index finger, causing him to scrunch his nose up like a rabbit.

"Don't call me that," he said, rubbing his nose with his hand.

"Why? It's cute."

"I'm a man. I'm not supposed to be cute." He fake pouted.

"Oh but Sebby, you're adorable."

"I will tickle you."

"Bring it on."

I jumped up from the bench and started in a run. I ran through the throng of people, Sebastian close behind me.
