The Limits of Forever

Chapter 7- Breakfast

I'm pacing my apartment. My heart is beating fast but the blood is going anywhere but where it's supposed to because I feel dizzy. And my legs ache. Sebastian is asleep in my bed. Sprawled underneath my sheets, like he lives here.

I hear footsteps and I turn to face my bedroom door. Sebastian walks out. His trousers hang loosely on his waist, his shirt hangs open. He runs his hand over his face. 'Hey.' He says in a sleepy voice when he notices me. He rubs his hand on the nap of his neck and smiles.

I tilt my head to the side 'Sebastian, you need to leave. Now.'

'Why? Can we have breakfast first?' He says coming closer

'No.'

'Well, if we have breakfast you could interview me.' He stands in front of me, looks down and zips up the fly on his trousers.

I attempt to step back but end up being blocked by the counter. 'I don't want to spend more time with you than I have to.'

'Did you have to have sex with me?' He smirks, before placing his hands on the counter, either side of me. His gaze lingers down my body and then settles on my face.

I have no idea why that makes my heart beat faster than it just was, or why that turns me on. But I will not let him have control over me. I hold his gaze and bring my face inches away from his before placing my hands on his shoulders and pushing him off me.

'Fine. Just wait for me to change.'

We decide to walk.

'You know, I can't figure you out.' He says

I look at him. 'Maybe I don't want you to figure me out.'

He shrugs 'I think you just don't want to let anyone in.'

I stop and glare at him. He holds his hands up.'Fine, I'll mind my own business.'

I carry on walking 'I have every right to file a restraining order against you.'

'Alexis, you were the one who let me in your apartment.'

'Sebastian, you were the one who turned at my door, unannounced.'

'Wow, big words.'

'Stop patronising me.'

He smiles 'This way m'lady.' He says pointing towards the entrance of the cafe he was taking me to.

I roll my eyes and step in, the entrance is narrower than I expected, I try to step to the side but Sebastian comes up behind me, places his hands on my waist and slides past me. I feel a shiver up my spine when he does that. I shake it off.

The lady at the seating desk is staring at Sebastian like he's an attraction at the circus.

'Mr Grey, It's so lovely to see you again.' She says

'Yeah, table for two.' He says bluntly.

That's when she realizes that I'm there. She looks over to me in disgust and then decides it's best to ignore me.

'I've got the perfect table for you. Follow me.' She says, looking back at Sebastian.

She seats us at a table away from everyone else. Places a menu in front of Sebastian, chucks one at me and says she'll be back.

'How come you get special treatment? I ask

'Cause I own the cafe.' He says quietly, not quite meeting my eyes.

'Oh.'

The waitress comes back with two coffees. She places them in front of us, I look down at mine, unsure whether it's laced with poison or not.
