“He’s in the chair,” Dayton’s assistant peeks his head into your room with a big smile. Ray was ever punctual for Dayton’s erratic behavior. “He’s ready and waiting on you,” you stand quickly, grabbing your kit as you follow Ray down the corridor to Dayton’s dressing room.
“You know why he likes you?”
“Because I allow him to call me sweetheart without making a peep?”
Ray raises his eyebrows and nods in agreement with you, “Because you’re punctual. You’re always ready and waiting for him when he comes to call. You keep your mouth shut. I know that you’ve undoubtedly seen and heard some stuff. He’s not a bad guy.”
“No, he’s definitely got potential. His fame, notoriety, and good looks have afforded him a certain way of life, however. And you and everyone else enables his childlike tendencies. A man that has never grown up, but then portrays himself to be the picture perfect example of marriage material.”
“Oh? And why would you say that?” Rays asks. His hand on the door, ready to open it so you can deal with Dayton.
“The man’s a slut,” you shrug. “I mean come on, every girl he comes across, they know about him. They don’t care. They want that moment to think that their pussy could actually change him. They sign that NDA quickly, he gets his dick wet, and he moves on. It’s simple math really.”
“He also likes you’re one of the few people that’ll tell him no.”
“I don’t get paid to coddle a grown man. I get paid to make sure his age isn’t showing and people don’t question why someone with a perfectly curated image such as himself can’t keep a woman. Make him look younger so playing the fields doesn’t look so bad. I thought you knew that,” you give him a chuckle as you walk into the room.
Dayton usually gives everyone his perfect facade of America’s golden boy, but for some reason, he’s always been able to let his guard down with you. Forbade anyone to be in the room while you work on him. It was like he was able to be himself while you put on his mask. Hiding the real him from the world.
Typically the man’s phone was far enough away, always upright so you could see his alerts, this time, it was snug in his hand. Practically angling the screen in an odd way to make you question just who had his attention. You didn’t take the bait. Dayton was not your friend. He was a client.
Dayton sighs, finally laying his phone in his lap, still screen up. He thought he was slick making his notifications private, until it was just you and him, and then you were able to see everything. You were a makeup artist, he assumed you frothed at the mouth for gossip. “What are you promoting today, Mr. White?”
“Ugh, please, you of all people don’t call me that. I’m Dayton,” he waits for your response as you add some concealer to his eye bags. You wondered if this man ever slept, or was he always just fucking and playing the game.
You still don’t respond. Preferred to keep the conversation led by him. You asked a question, he didn’t answer. “You really don’t know?”
“If I knew, would I have asked a question?” His phone lights up with a text, and against your better judgment you look down, and see her name again. Stupid girl. You casually tried to warn Dayton that she was too young and ambitious. He didn’t listen.
He looks at his phone, but doesn’t respond. Doesn’t even open it. Which leads to a few back to back texts. “Needy,” you surmise. Dayton knew he had you. You tried to act aloof, but the difference was, you actually cared. And you responded, you saw who was texting him and that was his goal. He always wanted to hear your input, whether he applied it to his life or not.
“Yeah. That’s why the um,” he clears his throat asking about the next product you were putting on his face. “Damage control.”
“I don’t even want to know.”
“She uh…she wants to go public,” don’t respond. Don’t react. For every step forward that Dayton thinks he has with you, he realizes these games don’t work. “I don’t want to.”
“Why?”
“We’re fucking. She’s not the only one. She’s too young. Too new in the industry. Too needy. Too…as you say ambitious.”
“Hmm, maybe next time you date a woman that wants to get ahead in the industry you’ll make sure she knows you’re just using her as a flesh light,” Dayton snorts, and looks back down in his lap. If you weren’t so entertaining, he would have gotten rid of you a long time ago. You were always smarting something off to him, but he needed to hear it. And he enjoyed your take on his chaotic life.
You however, didn’t speak on matters between you and him. Your mouth was always zipped tight. “She’s ruining my image.”
“Oh, the one you don’t care about? The one you’ve created for the last decade. Became what America’s women want. Be obtainable in a sense. Make them think you want a regular girl, when in reality you have a very specific type.”
“And what’s that?”
“Tall, but not too tall. Skinny. Blonde. Actress. I think that covers it,” you remove the tissue from his shirt, and spin him around to look at himself, but he stares blankly in the mirror. “Are you needing anything else, Dayton?”
He looks down at his phone and panic arises on his perfectly chiseled face, “Dammit! Ray! Get Ray!” You cock up an eyebrow looking at him, “I know it’s not your job.”
You don’t even have to get Ray; he and Dayton’s whole team start bursting into the room, “Have you checked the gossip blogs?”
“You’re starting to trend on Twitter.”
“Shit! She left a cryptic message on Instagram.”
“We need to make a statement to some outlet. Who do you want?”
“Which narrative are we trying to spin? How does this affect your upcoming projects?”
“God, you’re so stupid.”
“No!! There’s hate happening. You’ve got a less than shiny piece on the gossip sites.”
Fingers snap, screams, and overall pushing you out of the room, and Dayton gives you a final sad smile, mouthing out, “Sorry.”
You don’t want to look. It was all an image that he and the whole team faked, and it sounded like that image was being tarnished for the time being. You step back into your room. You’re paid well to sit around and wait for him to be touched up.
“Put out that picture we’ve been sitting on,” Ray tells a publicist, and Dayton stands up quickly to protest. “That’s our best option.”
“It’s a lie.”
“She’s your fucking age. You wanted to get a young pussy, and now she’s biting off your dick. Using your fame and resources to make her star rise, while yours is fading. Do I have your permission to source out the photo?” Dayton scratches the back of his neck. Trying to think if his career was even worth it.
“She’s been seen with you before. This makes it stop. The fans react well to her, and even look for her at events. Let’s send it to all our sources. Send it to a few of the gossip blogs. Nothing has to be said. Let everyone else make up their mind on what’s happening. All that tartlet has is a few coincidences. No evidence of you together,” Dayton grimaces, because that wasn’t entirely true.
“My god, you’re so stupid. I hope this was worth it. Your career or your makeup artist?”
“Send the photo,” Dayton responds wearily. He settles back into his chair with his fingers rubbing along his temples. “We’re not putting out an official statement either way. Inform the host no personal questions of any sort. I want all major outlets and fan-run sites and blogs to have that exclusive. Make this go away, and make it quick.”
“Just my usual,” you smile at the barista, already handing over your card. You look over to a nearby table, giving the two girls a smile when they gasp, and lean in to whisper to each other.
“It’s kinda weird seeing you here,” the barista tells you, and you give her an odd look. “I thought you would be back in New York.”
“Oh, Dayton doesn’t have any upcoming events. We got a break from filming,” she tilts her head to the side, but then smiles with a wink. It was odd. You’ll give her that, but the coffee here was impeccable.
Hearing a clicking sound of a camera you look back at the girls, who’s phones go in their lap quickly. Probably a selfie. Giving a nod to the barista, you grab your coffee, and start to head out, until you hear, “That is her,” and turn to another table.
Becoming paranoid as they blatantly point at you, and look down at their phones. You feel your cheeks heat up in embarrassment as more and more people look up at you. Some from phones and some from a magazines with Dayton on the cover.
Trying to hold onto your dignity you walk out quickly. Looking at your phone before calling your mom, “Honey, why didn't you tell me?” This doesn’t help calm your fear as you pick up your pace, heading to your car.
“You and Dayton. It’s actually a great match. He seems like the best guy. So kind. And he wants kids. Are you finally going to make me a grandmother?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Oh, honey, you really don’t read the gossip do you? But…there was an exclusive source. And I’m your mother. You could have at least told me that this business partnership had turned romantic.”
“What?” You put your head down, opening up the door to your car. It felt like your heart was pounding out of your chest, and you just had to get out of here.
“You got caught. I’ll admit the timing looks a bit suspicious since that stupid girl had a few screen shots and messages, and…well, I’m sure yours and Dayton’s timeline can be discussed. Maybe he didn’t know how he felt at the time, or wasn’t aware that you were exclusive.”
“Oh my god. I can’t breathe.”
“Oh, sweetheart, were you not ready to be public?” You never look at the gossip. Never desired to because it was all fake. But it doesn’t take long to find exactly what your mother was talking about. A picture of you and Dayton, supposed to be alone for you to do his makeup.
The two of you were giggling and laughing, and he was pushing a bit of fallen hair out of your face. Had you not known what was going on, you could see how a picture of you leaning over him in the chair, right in his face, while both his hands were on you could be romantic. You don’t even remember his hand being on your hip, or this moment. Things happened so quickly for makeup. Most of the time they were enjoyable.
‘He looks happy.’
‘Actor, Dayton White finally finds the one.’
‘Hiding under his nose all along.’
‘A source tells us they are happily in love.’
“Dayton!” You scream into the phone as he picks up.
He was afraid that the blindsight of this was not ideal, but he had a reputation to protect and was filming a family movie with a wife and kids, “What the fuck is going on?”
“Damage control.”
“I’m not part of your fantasy world. Take it back!”
“Doesn’t work like that. Just…give me a few months, clean up my image, and we can go our separate ways.”
“And you can find a new fucking makeup artist! I can’t believe you! How did you get this picture? It’s…” even you couldn’t deny the chemistry between you and Dayton. It looked almost too intimate. Personable and comfortable. But there was something in the way he was looking at you. You’d seen it a hundred times in his movies though. It was just part of the ever churning cog in Dayton’s life. He was an actor.
“It’s perfect for me.”
“I didn’t ask for this!”
“You don’t have to do anything, but show up on my arm. We’ve got a pap walk scheduled for when we get back on set,” you let your head drop down onto the steering wheel. “Please, just do this for me. You know how much my career and image mean to me.”
“I have conditions then.”
“Whatever you want. Name your price.”
You scoff hearing that, “I don’t want money. I want respect. You quit sleeping around.”
“Does that mean I get to with…”
“No! Get acquainted with your hand. You stepping out on me isn’t going to help your image. Don’t sneak them in your house. Don’t like pictures on Instagram, don’t slide into someone’s DMs. If you’re playing the role of my boyfriend, then you act like. I can't believe you didn’t ask!”
“I knew you’d say no. Don’t…don’t get on social media though. Please?”
“Why?”
“Just don’t. Be you. Don’t get on. But I need you to hand your passwords over to MacRay immediately. He’s got to scrub your social media. Luckily you don’t post much. But your likes, they can be questionable at times.. Call him as soon as you hang up.”
“I hate you so much right now.”
“I know. I’m sorry, and if there was any other way, I would have done it. You’re a lifesaver, and I’ll owe you forever!”
Famous last words that you knew no matter what that Dayton wouldn’t be able to hold up that promise. You just take a deep breath and get ready to weather this shit storm that had been brewing from the stupid tarltlet. Dayton and his dick were always getting him in trouble. And up until now you had managed to come out unscathed, but now you have to be the one in front of the camera. Smiling and playing make believe. All to protect him.

NATO intensifies patrols in the Baltic Sea after damage to submarine infrastructure
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/20/2023 - 4:00 p.m. in Military
NATO and the Allies are intensifying patrols in the Baltic Sea, following the recent damage caused to the region's submarine infrastructure.
The added measures include additional surveillance and reconnaissance flights, namely with maritime patrol aircraft, NATO AWACS aircraft and drones. A fleet of four NATO mine hunters is also being sent to the area.
“We continue to closely monitor the situation and are maintaining direct contact with our allies in Estonia and Finland, and with our partner Sweden,” said interim NATO spokesman Dylan White. “NATO will continue to adapt its maritime posture in the Baltic Sea and will take all necessary measures to keep the Allies safe.”
Since the sabotage of the Nord Stream in September 2022, NATO has intensified patrols near critical submarine infrastructure and promoted technological innovation - including with drones - to better detect any suspicious activity. Earlier this year, NATO created an underwater infrastructure coordination cell to deepen ties between governments, military, industrial actors and NATO, and since then created the NATO Maritime Center for the Security of Critical Underwater Infrastructures under the NATO Maritime Command.

Stranded in Manhattan
Description: You are stranded inside of the building your publishing agency is housed in. A snowstorm hit New York without warnings and you can’t leave for a few hours. What sounds like a boring afternoon ends up being quite the ride.
Prompt: Stranded somewhere due to inclement weather (Seb x Reader)
Length: 2,6k+
Warnings: Reader is written as someone with a skin tone that makes blushing visible. Just shoot me an ask if you want me to write something specific with a WoC reader. Always open for that.
M A S T E R L I S T
You had just finished your meeting for the next magazine. Writing articles for a lifestyle magazine was your favorite part of being a freelance writer. Well, not completely freelance. You were kind of part of the main team but not with a permanent contract.
A look outside of the window had you roll your eyes and grumble.
“You shouldn’t go outside for the next 2-3 hours. There is a warning out.” a female colleague outside of the meeting room looked at you.
“Great. I’m just gonna draft my article in the foyer then,” you muttered before saying goodbye with a few kind words.
In the lobby of the building, there already were a lot of people waiting for the storm to calm down. There was only one couch left that wasn’t already occupied by at least one person and you let yourself fall onto the soft furniture with a small sigh.
Laptop opened, the document opened and there you went writing the magazine article for next week already. At least you had WiFi in here and could research for your draft. Every ten minutes one or two new people came down in the elevator and sat down beside someone else. After an hour there were only 5 seats left in the entire lobby and you would probably be one of the next ones.
“Excuse me? Could I sit here?” you heard an oddly familiar voice and looked up.
“Sure.” you smiled and pushed your bag to the side.
There was a long moment of silence and you staring at your screen before you finally said something.
“What were you here for?” you asked with a little smile and got one back.
“My acting agency is here. Meeting.” he shrugged, “You?”
“Publisher meeting with the magazine I write for,” you answered.
“Sebastian.” he held out his hand.
“I know. Y/N.” you smiled back at him.
Contrary to your belief he didn’t change much after you told him you knew him.
“Which magazine do you write for?” he asked curiously.
“Flow magazine. Lifestyle, personal development, mindfulness. That kinda thing.” you blushed a little. It always made you nervous to talk about your job with people that weren’t writers. His natural cuteness didn’t help.
“That’s cool. And what are you currently writing about?” he looked at your hands on the laptop that was half-closed.
“Mindful Dating. It’s pretty weird to research and hard to not make it sound hippie.” you opened the laptop again to show that you had written half a page for your 2-3 page spread on the topic.
“I assume it starts with mindfully picking the right person to ask out.” he chuckled and picked his water bottle from his backpack.
“Actually starts with finding out what you even want and where to find it but that’s definitely a part of it.” you smiled a bit awkwardly.
“This sounds so cool compared to my few pages of script that I currently have to get into.” he sent a shy smile back.
“Does it become less fun to get into a character when you do it longer and professionally?” you ask to steer the conversation away from you.
“Sometimes. Especially when I don’t have a lot of backstory for my character to get into.” he shrugged his shoulders.
“I always loved doing plays in high school.” you looked away in thought about your high school years.
“What did you have?” his head dipped to the side a little in curiosity.
“Romeo & Juliette, Beauty & the Beast, some play local college students wrote and the last one was...Cinderella.” you counted them.
“Any big roles?” he smiled with shimmering eyes.
“I had the main role in the college student one.” you giggled. It was a really dumb play and your memories of it are really chaotic.
“God, I’d love to see videos of that. You definitely seem like you could pull off a lot of different characters. I mean, the appearance.” he got a bit unsure at the end if he worded it right.
You couldn’t help but giggle a little, “Yeah, could pull that black wig off better nowadays tho.”
“Um, what plans did that blizzard ruin for you? Never asked,” he said with a one-sided smile while scratching his neck.
“Not much. Wanted to go write in the library or meet a friend but that clearly won’t happen,” you shook your head looking outside of the window before your head went back to him, “You?”
He played with the strings on his hoodie, “Technically the rest of my day was finally a free day. So only ruined my Netflix marathon.”
He saw you smile when he looked up from the strings again, “Well, I have WiFi and this building probably has a more chill area. We technically COULD watch Netflix.”
Another unsure smirk from him with an almost apologizing smile coming back from you made the short silence weirder than it needed to be.
“Sure.” he shrugged.
If somebody would’ve told you, that you would be in an empty meeting room with one of your Top 20 favorite actors, watching Netflix because you were snowed in, you would’ve flipped them off.
You were both sitting on the table beside each other and had spread out the food and water you had with you. Weird circumstances called for weirder actions in response.
The Netflix logo popped up, then your name with a Jessica Jones icon staring at you and after that the list of movies on your big list.
“What do you wanna watch?” you looked up at him and he was already looking at you.
“You can choose whatever you want. It’s your account.” he held his hands up.
“Brooklyn 99 it is.” you nodded and clicked on the next episode you needed to watch.
You were a few episodes in when you just needed to let go of the thought, that you had held prisoner in your head for two episodes.
“You're the perfect mixture between Jake & Boyle,” you mumbled.
“Definitely more Jake,” he mumbled back, his eyes darting to look at the smile that had formed on your lips. You didn’t notice.
And then Jake came in with his legendary guitar scene full of screaming.
“Jep, definitely more Jake.” you laughed.
He lightly nudged you with a small laugh. You weren’t wrong.
Another 2 episodes went by and you checked your phone for the time. It’s been 2 hours now. Maybe you could go soon.
“Another one?” he asked with a big smile on his face.
“Of course.” you put your phone away and jumped over the outro to the next episode.
“It’s been over two hours. Let me check the warnings in Manhattan.” you took your phone after another two episodes and stopped the show with the other hand.
Your weather app was showing an orange warning instead of a red one.
“Well, orange should be enough to get home, right?” you looked up at him.
“Depends where you live.” he smiled one of those half smirk, half innocent smiles.
“Queens,” you muttered.
“That’s quite a long ride in that weather.” his right brow went up.
“I definitely don’t wanna stay in this uncomfortable and way too air-conditioned building,” you said neutrally.
“I live 4 blocks away and there is a café on the ground floor we could stay in.” now the smirk turned into a real smirk.
“Are you flirting with me?” you raised your eyebrow.
“Been trying for almost three hours. Thanks for noticing.” he laughed lightly and saw you get a little flustered.
“Umm.” with a shy expression on your face you put the laptop into your bag.
“Don’t leave me hanging here after I asked you for a date.” he pouted playfully.
You opened your mouth at the mention of a date but closed it again after no sentence your brain formed came out.
“Sure,” you said with the biggest blush on your face after a few seconds.
With a smile on his face and you biting your lip you both stood up and slowly left the building through the lobby that was much emptier now.
An arm found its way around you, making you flinch a little.
“Did you always live in New York?” his voice was harder to hear with the big jacket on.
“No, moved here from Y/C.” you answered and got a soft smile in response while you held the hood of your jacket to stay on in the wind.
“God, I hate this weather.” you stomped in the snow on the sidewalk like a child having a tantrum.
“You kinda look like you enjoy it though.” he laughed at your attempt at kicking the snow.
“I love winter. I hate that it gets so ugly and depressing so fast. I’m just here for the snow.” you pointed your tongue at him.
If he had voiced his feelings at that moment, he would’ve probably told you that he wanted to pick you up and carry you the rest of the way for you to stop complaining about the wind.
“Do that again and you have that snow flying at you,” he said trying to pinch you.
“Don’t you DARE!” you played into it.
“Watch me do it.” he smiled picking up snow and you started running.
“He’s fast, strong, had snowballs.” you quoted laughing and a snowball hit your back.
“The Winter Soldier is coming for you.” he made himself bigger but had a snowball landing on his chest after a few seconds.
You looked at him innocently and he blinked before running for you and catching you with a growl that made you squeak.
“Help!” you said giggling at this absolute dork moment you just had.
“Target acquired. Bringing it to drop off location,” he said near your ear and started giggling like an idiot with you.
The bell of the café door had the waiter in the almost empty room look up at the both of you.
“Hello, Sebastian.” the man smiled at the tall brunette beside you.
“Hey, can you make us two hot chocolates and two pieces of the chocolate cake, please?” came back at the waiter.
Having someone help you out with getting out of a jacket felt weird. You weren’t used to gestures like that anymore and mumbled a small “Thank you.”
You sat down on one of the tables and he leaned forward with a, “I won.”
“There never was a competition, Stan,” you said putting down your bag.
“Didn’t mean the snowball fight.” he winked and watched you blush.
Before you could say anything mugs and plates were set down in front of you.
“Tell me about yourself.” he gave you an encouraging smile and you started talking.
About your creative roots, what else you wanted to become when you were younger and how you felt about the things you did now. Some sentences had a vague political orientation in it and your stances on social issues.
“Sorry, I’m talking a lot.” you noticed yourself rambling and looked down at the half-eaten cake.
“No, I like listening to you.” he picked up the mug.
“I’d like to know more about you too.” you smiled with some confidence from what he just said.
He started talking about what he was currently doing, his mother, a bit about his roots and what his future plans were. He was good at this whole talking on a date thing.
“You like astronomy?” he asked out of the blue with his fork pointing at you.
“Yeah.” you grinned.
“What’s the coolest thing about it?” he asked.
“Nebulas. And I recently learned about hot Jupiters. Super interesting.” you mentioned the article you recently found while researching for a personal project.
“A woman of class, I see.” he chuckled before taking his last bite of the chocolate cake.
“No, a woman of space,” you smirked and got warm laughter back.
You checked the phone again. The warning was on red again and a look outside of the window checked out with it.
He noticed your look outside, “You can stay at my apartment. If you...want.” he said a bit unsure himself.
“Uuuh.” you didn’t really know how to answer this.
“Not in a weird way.” he distanced himself a bit from the table into his seat.
“I guess I wouldn’t have another choice, even if I wanted to say no.” your soft expression had him visibly relax.
You stood up, he gave the waiter on the counter the money and then you both made your way to a pair of elevators.
“This feels mildly awkward.” you spoke out what both of you felt.
“Doesn’t have to.” he smiled, snapping out of it.
The moment the elevator opened you snapped out of it too. You knew there wasn’t anything to be afraid of. Yes, this was weird because you just met him but the circumstances were not in your hand. He was respectful, and if he wasn’t you knew how to kick his ass. Everything was fine.
Even with both of you not talking in the elevator there was still a comfortable silence. That was until fingers started searching for yours and capturing your hand in a gentle manner. It’s not that you didn’t want this but it was very unusual and sudden. Like everything else today. Sure, you didn’t mind holding hands with pretty much anyone you knew but this wasn’t just anybody. This was someone you just had a proper date with and that kinda had your brain go in circles.
“Relax, I’m not trying to get you into my bed.” he gently nudged you and locked down at you with a soft smile.
“Sorry, I’m just not used to this...normality.” you tried to find a word for it, immediately shaking your head a little at choosing this particular word for it.
“Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.” he said while you walked past him holding the door open.
“Nice couch.” you pointed at it. It was one of those expensive, big, soft ones that everybody secretly wanted. You let yourself fall on it.
He let himself fall next to you after throwing his jacket and yours over a chair.
“Almost too conveniently placed.” you squinted at him beside you.
“Hey! Don’t judge!” he laughed.
“Too late. I judged.” you giggled before noticing his stare.
“What?” your brow went up.
“Nothing.” his eyes went away from your eyes and lips and looked at the ceiling again.
“What are we going to do the rest of the evening now?” you asked.
“More Netflix?” he returned a question.
“Fine. But I only accept documentaries.” you grinned.
Of course, the documentary he put on was about space and you both just absorbed the information you got. You didn’t even notice the arm around you after a while or the gentle pull towards him that had you cuddled up by the end of the documentary.
“You’re a sneaky little asshole.” you said sleepy.
“Only with pretty women.” his hand went through your hair.
You looked up at him “Thank you for making this day much less boring.” you smiled and caught him staring again.
“Can I kiss you?” he whispered so close to your face, his hand going from your hair to your jaw. With rosy cheeks, you nodded and had soft lips on yours a moment later.
A normal thing to happen after a date but you still weren’t used to it. The thumb going over your cheek got you out of the overthinking again. Right now, all you wanted to concentrate on was those soft lips and that slightly scratchy skin. The hand cupping your face, the arm pulling you closer and the tongue brushing against your lower lip. Everything is perfect right now, no need to overthink it.

One Week With - Tuesday (Part 1)
Word Count: 1482
Summary: A lazy morning before a nighttime show
Warnings: None
A/N: Hey everybody! I’m so sorry that it took me this long to finish this. As you may have noticed, this chapter is split into two parts because I felt like it would be way too long otherwise. Feedback and reblog are always appreciated! Enjoy ♥️
OWW MASTERLIST - MAIN MASTERLIST
You woke up to the 7 am alarm you had set last night, ready to start the second official day of the Sebastian Stan One Week With project. Dinner had gone extremely well; he had taken you to his one of his favorite restaurants where the food was delicious. You spent the night out getting to know each other better and had even made plans to go out to breakfast together this morning since you didn’t have any events to go to until tonight. You were actually really excited to see the show Sebastian was making an appearance at. It was an adaptation of one of your favorite books and you had been meaning to get tickets anyway. Climbing out of bed, you made your way to the bathroom attached to your room to brush your teeth before getting dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt.
Picking up your phone and purse, you walked out of your room while reading an email from your boss, letting you know that at some point you would need to have Sebastian do a live question and answer session through the Vogue official Instagram account. Unfortunately, you were so caught up in the email that you hadn’t noticed Sebastian leaving his room at the same time, so you ended up walking right into him. Luckily, his arms reached out to steady your body before you could fall to the ground and make yourself look like even more of an idiot. “I am so sorry; I was reading an email from my boss and didn’t see you until it was too late,” you explained, reluctantly letting him let go of you.
“It’s cool, remind me to tell you about the time I walked into a freezer because I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going,” he laughed. “So I thought we could go down to this place across the street grab breakfast, and maybe go through some of those questions you showed me yesterday,” suggested Sebastian while grabbing his jacket off of the couch.
“Sounds like a plan—” you looked down at the weather app on your phone that told you it was going to be a cold day “—but first I need to go grab a sweatshirt from my room really quickly.”
“Sure, I’ll be here when you’re done.”
To your dismay, you had somehow forgotten to pack a single sweatshirt or even a jacket that didn’t make you look like you were about to step out onto a red carpet. The jacket would work for later tonight, but it definitely wasn’t appropriate for breakfast. You thought about just going out the way you were but you knew that you wouldn’t be able to handle the cold for too long; even when you were young you could be found in a sweater in the middle of July because the air conditioning was too cold for you.
“Sebastian?” You called into the other room. “Could you come here a second?”
“Coming,” he replied making his way towards your room. He leaned against the doorway and asked you what you needed help with. You told him about your sweatshirt problem, asking whether you could borrow something of his until someone could bring something over from your apartment. “Sure, of course. I’ll go get you something from my closet,” he said, motioning for you to follow him to his room.
Sebastian gave you a black velvet bomber jacket that was only slightly too big and when you put it on you were overwhelmed by his scent. “Ready to go?” You asked him.
“Let’s get out of here.”
———————————————————————————————————
The cafe Sebastian had brought you to was owned by an old woman who, when you walked in together, greeted him like an old friend. “Sebastian!” She exclaimed walking out from behind the counter, “I haven’t seen you in forever, I was starting to think you got too good for an old lady like me.” She said while wrapping her arms around him in a hug.
“I could never get too busy for you Gloria,” he flirted, returning the hug. “This is y/n.”
Gloria then turned to look at you, “Sebastian! When were you going to tell me you had a girlfriend?”
At this you felt the need to interject “Oh no, I’m not his girlfriend— I’m doing an article on him so we’re living together for the week,” you explained.
“Oh what a shame,” she said shaking her head. “I was hoping Sebastian would find someone to settle down with.”
“Gloriaaa,” whined Sebastian in exasperation.
“Come on honey you know I’m just messing with you. What can I get you?”
The two of you placed your orders and then took a seat at the two-person table in the back of the cafe. “So I was thinking we could take today to go over some of the more basic interview questions before the show tonight.”
“Okay, but I have one condition—”
You looked at him, puzzled as to what he’d say next.
“—please don’t ask me what it’s like to be ‘part of something like Marvel.’ It’s really great you know, but everyone always asks the same question and I don’t know if I can find a new way to answer it.”
“But the repetitive questions are the best ones!” You joked. “Next thing your going to tell me is that you want me to scrap the three pages of lube questions.”
“Oh god, you don’t actually have those do you?”
“Nah I was just kidding. It’s four pages.” You desperately tried to keep a straight face but before you long both you and Sebastian had burst into uncontrollable laughter.
———————————————————————————————————
Sebastian was having the time of his life. He was at his favorite restaurant, sitting across from a girl he was falling harder for every minute. He wondered if he’d see you again once the week was over and could stand considering the thought that you wouldn’t be. The dress you had worn to dinner last night been beautiful on you, but he didn’t think you could look better than you did wearing his jacket. Maybe it was because you made it look so effortless, or maybe it was just because it was his, either way, he couldn’t get his mind off of you. Lost in his thoughts, he hadn’t realized that you had taken out the question sheets and had your phone out, ready to record his responses.
Most of the questions were easy to answer, but when you asked him whether he had a girlfriend, he saw a hint of something different in your eyes. He decided that instead of avoiding the question like he’d done so many times before, that he would just answer truthfully, telling you that he was very much a single man. At this, your eyes lit up but only for a second before you moved onto the next question and left him trying to figure out whether he had just imagined it.
———————————————————————————————————
He hadn’t imagined it. The relationship question was a standard issue, you asked it to everyone, but for some reason this time it felt different. If he said no then you’d end up hoping for something that would never happen, but if he said yes it would be worse; you would have to take any feelings or attraction and lock them somewhere far away in the back of your mind. You couldn’t help the joy that masked your features when hearing that he was single but the professional in you hid it well and swiftly moved onto the question. The rest passed as uneventfully as the ones before the dating question, and before you knew it it was time to go back to his apartment.
You were about to part ways in the hallway outside your rooms when Sebastian stopped and turned to you, “Would you maybe like to watch a movie with me? I don’t really have anything else to do today and I was gonna see what was new on Netflix.”
You thought about the work you had to do and briefly considered saying no, but then you remembered you only had a week with this man and you wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. So you left your work behind and agreed to watch the movie with him.
———————————————————————————————————
Halfway through the movie, you found yourself pressed up against Sebastian’s side. You started on opposite ends of the same couch but had gradually drifted closer and closer together until you were snuggled together. Both of you were very of this but had chosen not to acknowledge it for fear of making things awkward. All you knew was that at some point you would have to get up and get ready for the play, but for now, you would relish the feeling of Sebastian’s arms wrapped around you for as long as you possibly could.

Could you do Sebastian Stan x actress!reader where they are dating but don’t tell anyone and James Cordon somehow finds out and confronts them during an interview with the marvel cast!?! Thanks
Hi anon! Thank you for sending this in! Unfortunately I don’t feel comfortable writing for Sebastian Stan (as a real person) because I don’t agree with his actions as of late! I won’t post about him (other than addressing this in this post) but I do post about his characters instead.
I chose not to express my emotions about Sebastian Stan because I simply don’t know much about him as a real person except for the viral news about his recent actions of disrespecting rules during a pandemic, along with other things that I do not agree with.
I won’t be talking about him as a real person because I don’t want to possibly confuse anyone or upset anymore.
I also chose not to talk about many actors as real people. Instead when I do write them in fanfiction such as with Tom Holland, I really do not know much about him! Everything in my stories about Tom Holland is just me creating a “character” since I don’t watch much of his interviews.
Other than that I don’t hear or know much about these actors since I chose not to look at much media about them.
The only actor’s interviews and such that I watch and read into is Pedro Pascal lately! (But even then, I barely know who he really is as a real person)
I can write this request replacing Sebastian Stan as any of the following list of his characters:
Bucky Barnes, Chris Beck, Chase Collins, and Dayton White!
Let me know if you’d like me to write this request with any of these characters of Sebastian Stan, thank you!
#just to clear things up!#I understand if this opinion does not go along with yours#but please know I chose not to post much about my opinions about actors! only if it’s in movies and shows#thank you :))

MY THREE SONS at 60!
September 29, 1960
“My Three Sons” was a situation comedy produced at Desilu Studios. It premiered on ABC TV on September 29, 1960 and finished its first run on April 13, 1972, with 380 episodes making it the second-longest running live-action sitcom in TV history after “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett” (1952-66).
Seasons 1 through 5 were aired in black and white on CBS. In 1965 it moved to CBS when ABC declined to underwrite the costs of airing in color. The series was initially filmed at Desilu Studios in Hollywood, but at the start of the 1967–68 season, the cast and crew began filming the series at the CBS Studio Center in Studio City, California due to Lucille Ball’s sale of Desilu to Gulf + Western, which owned Paramount Pictures. The sale also affected the filming location of another family sitcom, “Family Affair.”
Incredibly, “My Three Sons” ran concurrently through both “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy.” Both Steve Douglas and Lucy Carmichael (and later Carter), where single parents raising children.
September 16, 1965 was a big night for CBS airing the very first episode of “My Three Sons” after moving from ABC titled “The First Marriage”. It was also the first episode of the series broadcast in color, something “The Lucy Show” did three days earlier with “Lucy at Marineland” (TLS S4;E1).
The premise of the series is a widowed father (Steven Douglas) raising his three boys with help of his extended family. Initially, the three sons were Chip, Robbie, and Mike, but in 1967 Mike was written out and replaced by Ernie, whom Steve adopted. The extended family at first consisted of Bub, Steve’s father-in-law and the boys’ maternal grandfather, but in 1964, that character was replaced by Uncle Charley, Steve’s uncle and Bub’s brother.
The leading role was played by film star Fred MacMurray, who the series was built around - including his hectic schedule. To suit MacMurray, scenes would be shot out of sequence and even alone on a soundstage and later edited to create a complete episode. This was not MacMurray’s first time at Desilu. In 1958 he played himself on the “Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” in “Lucy Hunts Uranium” set in the Nevada desert outside Las Vegas. He was joined by his second wife, actress June Haver. MacMurray (1908-91) appeared in over 100 films in his career but is perhaps best remembered for the film Double Indemnity (1944), which Lucy references in this episode. MacMurray’s name was first mentioned by Ethel in 1953 in “The Black Eye” (ILL S2;E20) when flowers arrive for Lucy mistakenly signed “Eternally yours, Fred.”
Although Lucille Ball was their landlord (and ultimate boss) she never acted on the show, but many of the actors who appeared on Lucille Ball’s sitcoms did appear on “My Three Sons”.
From 1960 to 1965, MacMurray was joined by William Frawley as Bub O’Casey, the family’s live-in maternal grandfather. Of course, Frawley came to fame on “I Love Lucy” as the crusty landlord Fred Mertz. Frawley had worked with MacMurray in the 1935 film, Car 99. When Frawley had to leave the show due to ill-health (and it was too costly to insure him) he was replaced by another Desilu alumni, William Demarest, as Uncle Charley. Like his previous co-star, Vivian Vance, Frawley was not especially fond of Demarest personally or as an actor. Demarest had, however, done three films with Lucille Ball. Frawley kept watching “My Three Sons” on his TV set bitterly. He never really got over being replaced by Demarest. On March 3, 1966, Frawley died of a heart attack.
For Christmas 1959, Frawley and Demarest both appeared with Lucy and Desi in “The Desilu Revue” (above with “December Bride’s” Spring Byington). At the time, Demarest was working on the Desilu lot appearing in NBC’s “Love and Marriage.”
On “My Three Sons” two of Steve Douglas’ boys had been seen on “The Lucy Show”: Don Grady (Robbie Douglas) had played Chris Carmichael’s friend Bill and Barry Livingston (Ernie Douglas) had played Mr. Mooney’s son Arnold. Ted Eccles, who assumed the role of Arnold Mooney when Barry Livingston was busy on “My Three Sons,” also did an episode.
The children of “The Lucy Show,” Ralph Hart (who played Viv Bagley’s son Sherman), Jimmy Garrett (Jerry Carmichael), and Candy Moore (Lucy Carmichael’s daughter Chris) were also on episodes of "My Three Sons.”

Would you ever write a story with a CE or SS character you haven’t used yet?
Also, ILY ❤️
Okay, first of all, Georgie...
Second, the answer is a tentative yes. As long as I could find inspiration for a story for the character, I would be open to writing CE or SS characters I haven’t used before (as long as I feel I have a good enough grasp of the character to do so). Which would include:
Sebastian Stan - Chase Collins, Lance Tucker, Charles Blackwood, and (maybe) Dayton White
Chris Evans - Johnny Storm, Bryce Langley, Jake Jensen, and Ari Levinson (this is a really tentative maybe since I haven’t seen the movie yet, but it’s on my watchlist) - not including Ransom cause I have him in a Made Up Fic, but he would also apply I guess
Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are definitely my bread and butter at the moment, but (like some of the other stories I posted for Jefferson and Lee Bodecker) I’m definitely willing to expand my repertoire—even into some other actors/characters as seen in my Made Up Fics. As long as the story is interesting to me, I don’t think much is out of the realm of possibility, save for RPF.
#✨rachel replies✨#bonkywobble#ily#so so much#you’re the best georgie#thanks for sending this ask#i really should branch out more#but steve and bucky are just so easy to work with

Patrouille de France pays tribute to Tom Cruise at the premiere of "Top Gun: Maverick" in Cannes
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 05/19/22 - 06:00 AM in Demonstration Squadrons, Military
Tom Cruise is in France for the premiere of the film "Top Gun: Maverick" at the Cannes Film Festival. He took the opportunity to visit the headquarters of the Patrouille de France and received a beautiful tribute from the demonstration squadron of the French Air and Space Force. Check out the images.

The actor who plays Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in the feature film also took the opportunity to meet Patrouille de France on Tuesday to talk about "cinema and especially aviation," witnessed Captain Grégory, pilot of the French squadron.

"He inspired a generation of pilots," the patrol wrote on his Twitter account, accompanied by photos of the star, all smiling, aboard an Alpha jet and next to the pilots.
Tom Cruise's visit to Cannes, after a 30-year absence, was definitely Wednesday's main event. Tom Cruise climbed the steps of the Cannes Film Festival on the opening night of the film "Top Gun Maverick", shown out of competition.

To welcome Pete "Maverick" Mitchell's return to business, the Patrouille de France passed twice in the Cannes sky, above the red carpet, leaving the team enthusiastic about the passages of the Alpha Jets jets.
Tom Cruise was also surprised by the honorary Palme d'Or of the festival.
After a very remarkable arrival by helicopter in the afternoon, the festivities did not stop there. The Patrouille de France paid tribute to the actor by climbing the steps, leaving a blue-white-red trail in the sky. A passage much appreciated by the entire cast, producer and director of the film "Top Gun: Maverick".
The Alpha Jets, based not far away, at 701 Air Base in Salon-de-Provence, enchanted the cast of the film, including Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller and Glen Powell, who savored the show with the same admiration.
Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to the 80s cult film, is scheduled to premiere on May 26.

2.04 In This White House
Episode:
• “I’m sorry did I overreach?” Ainsley bro you fucking murdered him
• “Ginger get the popcorn!”
• always forget that one reporter is Joel from Parenthood
• “Absolutely Mr. President, cause I’m told that theirs is the party of inclusion.”
alskfjah
• that windows background on the computer? Ainsley not knowing how to work caller ID?? holy nostalgia
• what the heck is in Gail’s fishbowl?
• CJs progressively louder “are you kidding me’s?” followed by “well what the hell made you think I wouldn’t scream where there are people?!”
• lmao Margaret offering to stay in Leo’s office with Ainsley in case something happens
• “She seems to be a very good secretary.”
“Well she’ll be happy to hear that. She’s standing right outside the door. *bang*
“Ow!”
• the entire scene with Leo and Ainsley is gold
• “Well you go girl.”
I freaking love that line. I laughed out loud the first time I watched and I laughed out loud again.
• how did Ainsley even get into the briefing room?! Margaret you dropped the ball!
• President Nimbala deserved better. His citizens are dying from AIDS, he personally goes to the US to try and get them help, the drug companies aren’t taking him seriously, a coup invades his country, and instead of staying in the US, he decides to go back even though he knows he will be killed, because he’s their leader.
Podcast:
• guest star: Emily Proctor, Deborah Birx
• ...holy shit I was like “wait that name sounds familiar!” Deborah Birx is currently part of the “Coronavirus Task Force” and I’ve been seeing her in the news a lot lately. I forgot she was also the Global AIDS coordinator.
• anyway super excited for Emily Proctor!
• “Who makes her first appearance as Ainsley Hayes.”
“A name I would’ve stolen for my child, if I hadn’t already used it.”
• Emily thinks she should’ve hit the line where she corrects Sam’s geography harder.
• When she was on the set, she heard John Spencer walking down the hall saying in a loud voice, “If the new girl doesn’t work out, we don’t have to keep her, do we?” After they did the scene, he said, “I think she’s fine.”
• John Spencer would invite Emily over to his house to rehearse scenes. He would set up obstacles around his pool and time how long it would take. According to Emily, he was a really good gardener and had roses everywhere. He would tell her he appreciated their on camera relationship and having a paternal relationship towards Ainsley. While tearing up she said, “he was so great to me.”
This is super cute 🥺😭. I’ve literally never heard anything bad about John Spencer.
• the scene where Ainsley and Sam are on tv and Ainsley is writing on the notepad while Sam is taking was Emily doing that to not let her nerves get the better of her. She was crossing things out and had to get to 60 before she looked up.
• Emily read with Aaron Sorkin and thought he was a hired actor lol
• she also wore what she thought Ainsley would wear: Lavender trouser pants. When Tommy and John called her agent, they thought she might not be attractive enough or what they were going for and commented on the pants she was wearing.
• When she went in for another read, she was really nervous because it dawned on her that she actually might get the job. She was “a hot mess” and they allowed her to come back again so for that audition she wore a halter top and fake eyelashes to distract them.
• Ainsley was loosely based on Ann Coulter 🤮
• Emily did handstands in the Oval Office and got in trouble lol
• Ainsley was originally from Montana. Emily read her with a southern accent and Aaron decided to make her from North Carolina, which is where Emily’s from.
• She’s unhappy at North Carolina at the moment (this was in Oct 2016 so I’m not sure what she’s referencing...maybe the election?)
• There are mentions of Dayton, Ohio in this episode. Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, and Rob Lowe are all from Dayton.
• Emily would go roller skating with NiCole Robinson (Margaret)
• “It is hard not to watch that scene, when they say they executed him in the airport, and not cry and not wish and hope that everyone who is in charge would behave so steadfastly to their service. And, I watched that today and I just thought, “Oh please, I have hope for all of us.”
• Emily is an extrovert and would get people to talk to her when they walked by. She has these very special, warm-hearted memories of how kind and utterly fulfilling people were to her.
• “I really felt like I was allowed to fully play my sport. And encouraged and thats as an actor, is rare.”

Series Masterlist
*dividers created by @firefly-graphics
You walk into Dayton’s home living room, and MacRay holds out his hand to. You raise up your eyebrow, and watch him wiggle his fingers around, palm facing up, “What?”
“Hand me your phone.”
“Why?”
He rolls his eyes as he looks you up and down, “You know the drill. You’ve seen it a few times. We went through your public social medias, but I need to know what’s on your phone.”
“Dayton!” He grimaces, but mouths out a please, and you hand it over to Doug, and sit in front of your ‘boyfriend’. “So what other humiliating thing am I going to have to do?”
“We need a timeline. It’s easy to put the two of you together, because you’re always there, but we need a narrative of when this started. Especially to get rid of our other issue,” Ray sits down beside Dayton. His gaze goes in between the two of you, while he waits on either of you to come up with a timeline.
You didn’t care. It didn’t matter. It was all fake anyways, and you’d leave it up to the professionals. Since they didn’t give you much of a choice, you weren’t going to help them. It was absurd.
“You’re on dating apps?” MacRay lifts up from your phone. “Seriously? And there's unopened messages. Great. Now we’ve got to pay these people off.”
“First off, I didn’t ask to be linked with Dayton. I am doing him and you guys a favor. He is your money. You can’t sell him, you lose money. Secondly, I joined a dating app because I’m always going from coast to coast for Dayton. I don’t have time to date the traditional way. So you can back off. This is Dayton’s mess that I am obliging your stupid fantasy world to get him out of it, and I won’t be apologizing for being a woman and wanting a companionship. Pay them off. You ruined my chance of dating anyone ever again anyways.”
You were bitter, but more importantly you were sick and tired being made to be the bad guy in this situation. Dayton was the one who screwed up, and you were doing all of them a favor, and they still had the audacity to like you were public enemy number one.
“Shooting star,” Ray looks over at Dayton, and then back at you. “We’re going to rebrand you as Dayton’s shooting star. Try to keep you as private as possible. And soon this will all be but a memory.”
“And then he goes and fucks another young girl. Then what? Maybe the real problem is Dayton’s inability to grow up and nurture real relationships.”
“Maybe you need to quit talking like I’m not here.”
“I didn’t ask for this life. I didn’t want to be in the spotlight. So yeah, I’m pissed off right now, and you’re going to get what I give you. Be ready for constant sarcasm and anger, because that’s how I feel, and that’s how I’m dealing with this. I met a nice guy. He called me a bitch because I lied to him about my famous boyfriend. You know, a little bit of a warning would have been nice.”
Doug hands your phone back, adn you don’t even want to look at what he could have removed. You had watched in live time as your social medias were being modified right before your eyes. Now everything you posted had to be pre-approved. Your family was untagged from posts, so they weren’t part of this nonsense. Things had only gotten started and you were exhausted.
“Little Miss pop tart is putting a bit of a hitch in our timeline. Dayton, you’re gonna have to take a hit,” Ray looks over at his client shrugging. “She’s got time stamped texts. You and Star over here had been talking, but it wasn’t serious. But when you were ready, you dropped it all. I’ll make sure that a source sends a tip into the gossip columns, and blogs.”
Well at least he wasn’t coming out unscathed. And here you thought that Dayton was going to be the good guy in the scenario. He looked sad, and you couldn’t quite put your finger on why. He was saving his image, while you carried on a lie for who knew how long.
“How long is this supposed to last?”
“I’m thinking at least a year,” you sink back into the couch. A year. A whole year of playing a part. It was annoying that you were the one putting your life on hold, and you didn’t even know why. “I see you have questions, but Dayton has been selling the whole I want to settle down, wants to get married, and want to have kids for a while. He had people talking about the fact that he was pandering to his audience. This gives them a steady relationship to talk about.”
“It’s a lie. And a year?”
“I figured that’s all you would agree to. Two to three years would be ideal. After the first seven months you’ll move in here. There’s plenty of room that you can sleep somewhere else, but we’ve got to sell this,” unbelievable. They were really trying to con you into covering up Dayton’s indiscretions.
“His fans and social media are actually responding well to this. There’s a few naysayers, and we’re hoping with the public outing it’ll put this to rest,” Dayton was eerily quiet. Just sitting there like a kicked dog with his tail in between his legs. “But the overall reception had been positive,” you hated them all right now. But Doug was particularly getting on your nerves. It was always going to be about the image.
“So we’re going to do this downtown. You’re going to have a nice lunch. Go walking around, and even go to the grocery store. Give the people the idea that you’re normal. Mundane things sell. Because you’re just like them. I don’t care what you talk about, just look happy. Look like you want to be together. We’re going to have Mickey outside the restaurant, and he’ll follow you to the market, and he’ll wait on you outside. I’m thinking you need to get some wine or beer. A few snacks, make it look like you’re coming back here for a nice evening at home. A few weeks from now, we’ll station some moving vans outside, and that will be all for awhile.”
You lean back staring at the ceiling, “I hate all of you.”
“You were the best option, and you have garnered favor with the fans. It’ll be a big step for Dayton’s career and yours.”
“And Dayton says nothing,” you sit up and stare only at him, “You played me. You could have had the decency to call me, text me, anything. But no, you waited until I couldn’t say no. You knew I wouldn’t. You knew I would do what it takes to protect you and your precious image. But after this…I can’t do this. I can’t work for someone that won’t give me the courtesy of asking me if this is okay.”
“Great,” Doug claps his hands, standing up, “I got your stylists ready to coordinate your outfits. And you can drive to the restaurant.”
“Do regret it?” You ask Dayton. You lean your head over to look at him. He looked too focused on driving, and the car was stifling. There was too much tension, and it drove you nuts. You hope he was able to act his ass off, because you still wanted to strangle him.
“Which part?”
“The stupid girl that you were fucking?” He quickly looks at you, and gives you a quick glare, before looking back at the road. “The part that involved me?”
“If there was another way, don’t you think I’d take it?”
“Uh-uh. What we’re not going to do is play your son story with me. You got yourself into this mess, and like always, you’re letting someone else clean it up. Do you regret getting me involved?”
Taking a deep breath, he pulls into the parking spot, and smiles over at you, “Since I have to be in this shitty situation, I’m glad it’s with you.”
“That’s not a fucking answer.”
“Media training, Shooting Star. You’ll be getting it, too. I’m sure there will be interviews. You gotta learn to shit the narrative to be what you want it to be. I’m thankful for you, and I’m glad that I have to have a fake relationship and live in girlfriend with you. I am not implicating myself in this trivial game of questions that isn’t going to change anything. It is what it is.”
“Normal people don’t do this,” he gets out of the car, and jogs over to your side. Opening up your door as he lets you out.
“I’m not a normal person. The photographer is going to be towards your left, under that boutique awning. So when we come out of the restaurant, he’ll get what he needs, but he is following us. We also have cell phones to worry about. Everyone has the ability to catch us on video or camera. We want photos. Videos show everything. Just go with it. Pretend you actually like me.”
It was hard to do that considering you hated him at the moment.
“I don’t like this.”
“Don’t open your mouth too much,” Dayton tells you, sliding his arm around your waist. His hand settles on your hip, and you turn your head to look up at him, “Smile,” you give him your best nervous smile, and he leans down to kiss you. Just a short quick peck, but there was a part of you that enjoyed it too much. The way his lips were so soft, and the way his matcha lingered in them, “Smile. People read lips. Keep it simple.”
“Okay,” you whisper, and his hands slides on your back, and into your hand. Annoyingly you found his fingers weaving in yours romantic. This is how you wanted to go out for a walk with a boyfriend. Not a fake one either.
He leads you into the grocery store, and you sigh in relief. “Don’t drop your guard. Cameras everywhere. The only place we’re safe is at home,” his home. Being forced to be your home shortly. It wasn’t fair. “You’re doing great, sweetheart.”
“And look at this,” Doug throws down a few gossip magazines that you push across the coffee table away from you. You didn’t care. Pulling the throw up closer around your neck, you lay down on the couch, and enjoy some warmth. “You’re the talk of the town. Got a few wanting exclusive interviews, and eventually we’re going to have to make this public relationship official. How would you like to do it? Joint instagram posts or an interview or…?”
“Wouldn’t it make more sense to wait until the moving vans gets here. Give people something to speculate again?” You hated yourself. Why would you offer this as a solution? It did make perfect sense, but you didn’t want to help them out anymore than you already were. “People enjoy the drama. They enjoy figuring things out. Leave a few cryptic messages, and they want to decipher them. Want to know if they’re close to the real answer.”
“I like the way you’re thinking. Play this game of what is going on a bit longer. Is this real? Is it a fling? Is it marriage?”
“It’s not,” you deadpan. Marriage would not happen out of this deal it was out of the question.
“Where’s Dayton?”
“He’s on a run. He needed time to clear his mind. I stayed home. I don’t want to be more public than I have to be. Now we’re in a bubble and a bigger radar, because people want to know the truth. I’m sure your photographer has gotten paid, and has done well for these exclusives, and I just want to take a nap, and be left alone to deal with my thoughts about my fake relationship with my fake boyfriend.”
“You know,” He begins. His voice was slimy and you hated the way it made you cringe. As if this situation wasn’t bad enough, you felt icky with him. “You don’t have to make this completely a transactional relationship. You were on a dating website. I’m sure in a year it’ll get lonely. Have some fun. From my understanding Dayton is a good lay.”
“Leave!”
“I’m just saying. Things could turn real.”
“I don’t date actors,” you roll over on the couch, putting your back to him, and sigh. “You never can trust them.”
While it would be easy to have something physical with Dayton, in the long run you knew it would make things more difficult. You were stuck with him for at least a year. Stuck in this house, and stuck on set with him. Being around him was unavoidable now. Add in a physical relationship, and it would get weird. Possibly make you closer in ways, but at the same time, it would make things too real. This wasn’t. This was fake, and it was something you were selling to the public, and unfortunately also to your family that didn’t understand the game.
Things may only had just become, but you were about to be with Dayton non-stop. Work with him, and come home to him. Even on set, you would be going back to his room. Everything relied on this little lie that was beginning to get bigger. But there was no way you would trust Dayton with your emotions. That kiss felt too real, and his hand felt too good on your skin. You couldn’t get caught up in his fake feelings. You wouldn’t.
