'Sign it. Now.' I say.

I'm back in Sebastians' office. I didn't knock. I didn't ask to come up or come in. By now his staff know who I am and I'm sure they know what's happening between me and Sebastian.

He looks up at me, then he looks at the door, then back at me. 'What?'

'The paper Sebastian.' I point to the booklet I put down on his desk.

He closes his eyes and leans back in his chair. 'Alexis,' He runs a hand over his face 'Alexis, can we talk?'

'Sebastian. That's not what I'm here for.'

'Yeah, I'm aware,' he stands up so he doesn't have to look up at me. 'But I think we need to talk.'

'Sebastian.'

'Are you mad?'

I shake my head. I should be, I should be mad. 'No.'

He breathes out a sigh of relief. He walks around the desk and cups my face in his hands. 'I'm sorry.'

Then he pulls me into his chest and wraps his arms around me. I freeze for a second. I actually can't remember the last time I've had a hug and to be honest Sebastian is that last person I want a hug from. But for some reason my body relaxes and I hug him back.

'I might be the tiniest bit jealous.' I hear him admit.

I smile. 'Yeah I know.' I whisper. Looking up and resting my chin on his chest.

'Did you go... on the date?' He says looking down at me.

'Yeah,' I say softly. I step back and pick up the paper. 'Please sign it Sebastian.' I hold it out to him.

He takes it. 'You should really tell Lucia to fuck off sometimes.'

I laugh. He signs it.

'Will you be there?' He asks

'Where?' I say taking back the booklet and stuffing it in my bag.

'At the shoot.'

'No.' I say, shaking my head.

'Well I'd like you to take the photos.'

'Sebastian, I'm not a photographer.'

'Yeah. I saw your camera in your apartment.'

'When-' I stop and close my eyes. 'Sebastian, even if I wanted to, I'm not licensed to do that.'

'I'll get you one. I'll see you there then.' He says walking closer to me.

It doesn't really seem like he's asking me a question when he says that so I keep quiet.

Sebastian places his hand under my chin and lifts my head so I'm looking up at him. 'Did you kiss him?'

'Theodore?' I ask even though I know who he's talking about.

'Yeah.'

I let the question sit in the air for a while. I'm not going to lie to him. 'Yeah.'

I see his jaw tense and untense. 'I don't like the fact that he was the last person to touch your lips.'

And without giving me a second to reply. Or breathe. He presses his lips onto mine. His hand slides down to my neck. I bring my hands up to his back and pull him forward. We break apart, we're so close that our noses touch. 'You're driving me crazy Alexis. Why do you keep choosing him?'

'Sebastian... I can't be with another guy like you.'

He steps back. 'What does that even mean?'

'I- I don't want to talk about it.' I say before grabbing my bag and walking out.

'Alexis.' He grabs onto my wrist and pulls me towards him.

I look up. 'Let go of me Sebastian.'

'Alexis-'

'Let go of me.'

He lets go. 'What does that mean?'

I close my eyes and turn around.

'Alexis.' I hear him whisper behind me.

It's men like him that promise me the world and then leave me with it all crashing down around me. It's men like Sebastian who will steal my heart and never give it back. I'm the one who decides what happens to my heart. I'm giving it to Theo because I know he won't break it.

I turn around. We're so close. We're so close I could kiss him. 'Sebastian. I don't have to explain myself to you.'

He looks away for a moment. Then he looks at me. Hard. 'I'm not going to make this easy for you Alexis.' He turns around and walks back into his office. Slamming the door behind him.

I sigh, turn and walk out.
