The Unexpected Love

12. The Welcome

As we ate our breakfast, I blabbered about how wonderful Sweden is. The pastries, National Food Day, and the music.. It's undoubtedly a piece of heaven on Earth!

"So, how are you holding up?" Seb raised his concern.

"Never bring it up again. Ever!" I almost ordered him while clearing the table.

The mood around changed for a second until he spoke, "But I- Okay. Your wish is my command, Your Majesty." He dropped a curtsy making me giggle.

"So?" I said walking towards him. "I guess, I should be taking my leave now." I hesitantly stated.

"Where are you going?" He sounded a little surprise.

"Umm.. A hotel, perhaps. My flight is-"

He was taken aback, "Nonsense! You aren't staying in a hotel. Stay here."

"No no. I wouldn't want to obtrude! I'm sure you'd want your space too."

"Oh c'mon! It's not like we meet everyday, so think of it as.. How do you say it.. Umm.. A slumber party kinda thing? Plus, I'll be alone here anyways, so a company won't kill."

"Are you sure?"

"Wouldn't have asked otherwise." He winked.

"Oh, okay then!"

"If you want to thank me, then cook the lunch too please!" He tried to put up a crooked smile.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, goofnut."

As he helped me walk out of the kitchen when I remembered that I have to fetch my stuff too.

"Sebby, where are my clothes? I'd like to change into them now please."

"Fuck!"

"No, don't tell me they're still wet!"

"I suppose they are. I totally forgot to put them in the dryer last night." He said rubbing the back of his neck innocently.

"Just perfect!" I groaned in utter disappointment. "I'm wearing your triple-sized sweats, Sebastian, and I can barely keep up with the lower. It just seems to dislike my tiny waist!"

He winked again, "You can walk without that. I won't mind!" That earned him a smack on his chest with the back of my hand.

"You do look sexy in them." He almost whispered, but loud enough for me to hear.

Not only was that remark unexpected but also, I had no idea how to respond to that.. compliment, if it was one.

"I sure as hell can't go out wearing this, Bubbles. And I have to fetch my stuff before Avi comes back home. I have no intention of running into him today."

"Hmm.. Want me to raid my closet again for you?"

"Please?"

He smiled, carefully dragging me towards his room. After 40 minutes of treasure hunt, which was more like trying on different clothes and then throwing the rest around the room, we found a blue t-shirt and one of his 'relatively smaller' tracks fitted better than the rest.

He sighed, satisfied with our so-called fashion parade.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"Yeaah! Who else is going to drive me there." I stated as an obvious fact.

"Already taking advantage I see.." He said grabbing the keys.

"Just returning the favour, Mr. Vettel!" I winked.

"You have the key to his place?!" Seb blurted as I opened the door to Avi's penthouse.
