Three's A Crowd

Nineteen | The Text (DUN-DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUNNNN!)

"I got... work tomorrow Seb."

"Work?" he asked.

Sooo he... didn't know.

Yet.

"I got requested for personal assistance in a new movie in Atlanta." I say slowly and carefully, observing his reaction to see if it sparked any realization, but he only looked at me more confused, so I started up again with my explanation. "Chris is starring in it, so they asked me if I could be there. Same crew from The First Avenger set."

Seb is quiet for a while, making my stomach churn and knot itself in anticipation of his reaction. "No... details on the movie?"

"Nope." I shake my head. "I didn't say yes yet."

"Doll... I'm leaving for Romania this year."

Wait... what?

Wasn't it Boston so far?

Me and Sebastian always had an agreement on going places together. Places that didn't involve work meant we have never been to the place itself. This year is reserved for Boston cause Chris is taking me. I asked Sebby before and he obviously said yes. And if you were wondering, yes, I know that going to Boston is so easy, but I have this weird sentimental way of going places and doing things. When I go to places I always have someone with me (most of the time it's Sebastian) and a Polaroid camera. And the only bag I bring to these special places is my grandfather's brown luggage bag, filled with stickers and photos and stuff. So I was obviously confused. I didn't want to change it cause I wouldn't want to impose on Chris cause he was already offering us bed and breakfast when he takes me and Seb.

"Aren't we going to Boston this year..?"

Sebastian let out a disappointed sigh. "I have some things to settle in Romania honey. You know I won't last a month there, but knowing Mama, she might keep me for more than that."

It would be selfish of me to tell him not to go. But if something came up why not? I'm not even his girlfriend to restrict him from leaving! We can't be tied to each other forever. This little bitch is going to get a nice girl one of these days, maybe date her for a couple years before popping the question, get married, live the life he's always said he wanted. It would be hectic with the rumors and the paparazzi, yes, but I'm not his PA for nothing.

That got really emotional when it wasn't even supposed to be emotional, what the hell is wrong with me..?

I exhale slowly and give him a smile. "Hey, it's okay. We're not going to be apart forever silly," I joke. Seb gives me a sad smile. This bitch can not make me cry right now. As a large lump formed on my throat as I suppressed my tears. I open my arms out and let him snuggle into me, pushing our dining chairs together, legs dangling next to each other. I ran a hand through his hair, threading my fingers through them, letting my nails gently rake his scalp, a guilty pleasure of Seb's. "When do you leave?"

"In a week..." Sebastian whispered. I hated seeing Sebastian leave. The last time he ever left out of town was for a movie that lasted a month and a half. He got off early because he had a minor roll. He lifted up his head to look at me. "I can come with you to Atlanta and just, I don't know, set off there?"

Tempting, yes. I never said I couldn't resist it though.

"I dunno Sebby, that's kind of a waste of money..." I say softly, pushing back his hair gently.

"It's not a waste if its for you doll."

My heart throbbed at his words. This is the exact fucking reason why I ended up falling for this amazing piece of crap. I force a shaky smile, unable to respond to his reply, and press a kiss long soft on his forehead. "Okay then dipshit."

We remain in silence before Seb coughs up a laugh, shaking his head at his thoughts. "I don't know why the fuck I'm worried when I know Chris is going to be taking care of your dumb ass while I'm gone."

I laugh. "Sebastian, it's the other way around."

"Shh, shh, let me just... try to convince myself it's that way." Sebastian hushes me as I stifle a laugh with the back hand. Sebastian then whispered, more like muffled. "You go tell Chris he can only have you this once and tell him not to get used to it."

I chuckled, resting my chin on top of his forehead. "Okay."

"One more thing doll."

"Mhm?"

"Audition for something while you're there?"

Me...? Do auditions..? I've done them before, yeah, but... I close my eyes shut and let my brain put the thought aside for consideration tonight.

"No promises Seb." I muttered. Sebastian looks back up at me again like a little child. He knows. I don't have to say anything because he already knows...

"But you'll try... right?"

I bite my lip, hands still absentmindedly stroking through his dark tresses. I tried to gulp the lump down my throat to smoothen out the tone of my voice. "Yeah..."
