Y/N “WOLFIE’S” PANEL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
—- not my gifs, credit to original posters! -—
(Platonic) Avengers cast x GN/Female/Male Reader Feat. on the panel: Elizabeth Olsen, Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie & Robert Downey Jr.
A/N — So this was delayed at first because I'd kinda gotten second thoughts, then did a bit of research (just watched some of the cast in interviews and stuff). And then I thought "fuck it, write it." So I did just that. Though I'm not counting on this being "top tier" and very well may be the only time I do this sorta thing. Because I have come to realise when writing this... I CANNOT write celebrities, so great kudos to those who can, and also they make it look so easy!
WORD COUNT — 1.7k
READER DISCRETION — Nothing that should be potentially triggering— maybe slight insecure reader? Nothing really, just that little "did I do good?" y'know? — just Y/N with the avengers cast— Y/N being a little blushing, embarrassed mess
SUMMARY— You meet your fellow cast members on the panel for Comic Con, the debut for the final instalment to Habits of Mother Nature's Will releasing that weekend at the premiere.
You can read the columns here — HABITS OF MOTHER NATURE'S WILL HABITS OF MOTHER NATURE'S WILL II HABITS OF MOTHER NATURE'S WILL II: AFTERMATH
You never thought you would hear anything louder than the sound of applauding fans and cheers as your name was announced by the panel moderator.
You swaggered onto the stage, your outfit was casual but styled in a way that could pass for formal dress easily. Your hair styled to what you favoured most. 
You raised your arm up and waved to the crowd who roared with such vigour, you silently admitted to yourself it was a tad bit intimidating. But you were excited for this panel. To be beside your cast members who you had bonded with over the course of production, and to finally meet those who loved the project as well. 
The Avengers series had been a cinematic hit and when you signed the contract, had anyone told you that the three part short series would have been a major hit for audiences, you would have scoffed.
Your co-stars each turned and greeted you with grins as they waved you over. “There they are!” Chris announced into his microphone with a wide grin.
 You were assigned to sit between Lizzie and Chris. Anthony sat on Lizzie’s other side. 
“Where you been, Y/N? We missed you,” Anthony questioned you with a pout, hands forming a heart over his chest. You chuckled and held up your other hand that held a cup of coffee.
“I needed my fix, leave me alone,” you grumbled. Lizzie squeezed your shoulder lightly with a shake of her head, ushering the others to stop picking on you.
“And you didn’t bring me one,” Anthony tutted and Seb called after him, “the betrayal.”
The crowd laughed and cheered.
“So we were just about to get to the fans' questions, Y/N, and I don’t doubt a lot of them have questions about your character in particular,” the moderator said to you and you nodded. 
“Prepare yourself for marriage proposals, Y/N. There is always at least ten for each of us,” Robert said, his voice deep and calm over the mic system. 
Your face went bright red. “Well…” you wanted to swear out of habit, but you held your tongue, your head fell forward. “Dammit.”
More laughs came from the audience. The microphone was set up and any fans who had questions were directed to stand in the queue.
The first fan was a young woman, probably about college age. You leaned forward, your arms folded on the table and made your clothes pull against your frame and you looked intensely focused on the fan. Engaged with what they had to say.
The very act made quite a few people swoon and scream, only your eyes flickered to your cast mates with a raised brow.
“I think the proposals have increased quite a bit now,” Chris said with a smirk. It didn’t help relieve the flush in your face when a few whistles of agreement followed his statement. 
The girl giggled nervously into the mic in front of her and you refocused your attention on her. “Hi,” she said through her giggles and you nodded, hand lifting slightly to wave. 
“Hey, how are you?” you asked and she nodded, “good thank you. I just want to say personally I’m a huge fan of the character, C/N, and I just wanted to ask you how you felt when you got the role to portray them?”
You raised your brows under the weight of the question. You smiled and thanked her for the question. “Hmm, well, I’m not gonna lie it felt scary that I wouldn’t be able to portray the character, but the script writer and director - along with my cast members - they really helped me where I felt I lacked in providing the performance that C/N would. So yeah, thank you for that question, and I’m glad you enjoyed my take on the character, other than that it was a lot of fun.”
She beamed from ear to ear and nodded eagerly. She thanked you profusely and expressed her excitement to see Aftermath in cinemas. Elizabeth patted your hand with a smile. “You did good,” she uttered away from the microphone and you nodded in thanks.
Another fan walked up and greeted the cast. “So I want to know, who would win in a fight against each other: Bucky or C/N?”
“Uh, the correct answer, obviously, would be Ironman.” Robert’s interjection made the crowd fall into a frenzy of hysterics. You grinned, the act natural and your own that you made signature component for your character. 
“Remember who killed your parents,” Sebastian taunted and Robert smirked down the table his way. “Uh,” Sebastian began as he leaned back in thought for a moment, “I kinda want to say Bucky. I don’t think C/N could bring themselves to hurt him. So I think he’d use that to his advantage.”
When the fan inquired about your opinion, you shrugged with a tsk. “I think C/N would only win if someone hurt Wanda.” Your answer made the fans giddy, the uproar of cheers enough to bring the roof down like an earthquake. 
“I have to say that the fight sequence was so intense, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The cinema I was in was in such a state, I thought it was gonna get shut down,” the next fan began with a giggle. You and your fellow co-stars couldn’t help but chuckle and smile. It really did make you happy to know that you had done well to provide fans with such excitement. The Avenger films were great and adored by the fanbase, your only wish was that you wouldn’t let the dedicated members of the production and the fans down. 
“The fight choreography was brilliant and I wanted to ask what you could share about what went on behind the scenes? Like, how was all of that done?”
Oh, that was a loaded question. “Well…,” you chuckled, “let me first tell you that the entirety of my character fighting in their ‘wolf form’ was me. I did all the motion capture for that–” The room was filled with applaus. “Thank you. Yeah, my stunt double thought it would be funny to visit their family overseas and leave me to do all the motion capture. So I have them to thank for the harness that was riding my ass for the next couple of days,” you answered, though everyone could tell you only meant to tease, that you didn’t mean anything ill about it all. 
The experience of doing all the intense choreography was actually one of the most fun aspects you’d ever done in any of your productions thus far. 
Anthony laughed into his mic then. “I kid you not, we all have a video around twenty minutes long of Y/N doing the motion capture from the gag reel. And it’s hilarious,” he sighed at the end and earnt a laugh from the crowd. 
“It wasn’t easy, man,” you whined, “but– but when I had to do scenes that required a more realistic build, I was saved the embarrassment and actually we had my dog, D/N, do all the motion capture for that.”
A photo of your German Shepherd appeared on the screen above, your arms encircled around them, their head tilted and long tongue hung from their mouth. 
“They’re so cute!” a fan in the crowd shouted and you chuckled. “Damn adorable, I love them. I had to be on guard, I was scared Chris would take them home.”
Chris leaned over in his seat, hand slapped to his chest with a toothy grin as he cackled to himself. “I love that dog so much, what can I say?”
The fan thanked you for your time and walked back to their seat. The next fans were two girls, again around the age of college students walked up together. “Hi!” one of them greeted and the other looked incredibly shy, her friend held her close around the shoulders. 
“Hey there, how are you?” you asked again. You always asked how the fans were, a habit that was just natural. Human. Kind. 
“We’re good thanks. Uh, so this is my friend, Taylor,” she said and indicated to the other girl next to her. She waved and mumbled a meek hello into the mic. Your cheeks folded out into a smile, adoring the girl’s shyness. It was adorable. “And it’s her birthday and I want to ask if you could give her a little birthday present as your character, C/N, please? And with a cherry on top, add your wolf voice?”
Your tongue danced over your teeth as fans left, right and centre cheered and hollered. You could tell it was as much wanted by them as the fans asking for it themselves. “Just out of curiosity, who else is here for their birthday?” you asked and quite a large amount clapped in answer, a view yelled their response.
“Okay, so you can consider this a gift to you guys as well.” You sat forward and rolled your shoulders, getting into the mind of your character. 
“Happy Birthday, Taylor.” You stopped to let the fans burn out their screams before you continued. “Told you, marriage proposals all of them,” Robert commented just as you went to speak and you broke out of character for a moment, face palming your hand. 
“Go on, Wolfie, you gotta appease the fans,” Robert uttered with a wave of his hand to usher you on.
“I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Wanna play fetch some… sometime in the park?” Despite the momentary hiccup, unable to contain the embarrassed giggle in your throat as your face brightened, you finished. 
Even some of your castmates imitated getting flustered, even Lizzie herself fanned her face. Taylor hid her face in her palms and her friend thanked you. 
The other beauty of your performance was that the sound editors had little to do with mixing your vocals for the werewolf voices, you had a knack for making it naturally guttural and animalistic. 
Anthony snickered playfully. “So I think we can agree that Y/N “Wolfie” has taken over the panel. Can we get a shout or clap if you enjoyed Y/N’s performance of C/N?”
You don’t know how it was possible, but that was the loudest you’d heard the fans.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The wind is blowing around the trailers you all live in right now. The sun is already warming the air while you lay next to your boyfriend, who has his arm wrapped around your waist. Anthony presses his nose into the crook of your neck, inhaling your scent deeply before he sighs. He pulls you even closer and kisses your neck softly, causing you to groan softly.
"Morning, sweetie," he mumbles against your neck, and you shiver slightly.
You grasp the blanket and pull it over your head. Hiding yourself underneath the soft and warm fabric while you try to get back to sleep. Anthony laughs, his hand sliding to your side, and you immediately sit straight in bed. The blanket on top of you, while you look at him with a playful, angry expression.
"Don't you dare tickle me, Anthony Dwane Mackie," you say, pointing at him.
His eyes widen softly when you say his whole name, then he sits up as well and grabs your waist, pulling you into his lap. He leans closer and kisses you softly, his lips so perfectly fitting against yours. The warmth of his plumb lips makes you melt in his arms, and you sigh into the kiss.
"Do we have to play that scene? I really don't like it. Thats so out of character," you mumble against his lips, resting your forehead against his.
"Don't want it either, but they think this scene is perfect to include, babe."
You sigh softly. This scene you have to play today is really something you would tell them to piss off with. Anthony and you are a couple in the newest movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. And when Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, and Natasha Romanoff, played by Scarlett Johanson, escape Hydra after fighting the Winter Soldier on the bridge, they go to Sam, who gladly helps them. This is actually not bad, but then when Sam and Natasha have a minute for themselves, they are going to kiss, but you're actually the one who is together with him, not only in real life but in the movie.
Actually, it's fun to play your role, especially because you and Anthony always make jokes with Sebastian, who plays Bucky, the Winter Soldier, and is the most fearsome assassin. But behind the scenes, there is a tall, muscular man between a few women who make his hair and do the makeup, and the most powerful weapon of Hydra just looks like a sweet puppy. Which is pretty funny and causes a lot of moments where you all burst out laughing. Even though those things are pretty funny, the scene that is completely out of character causes you to feel bad, maybe because of your past or maybe just because you don't like cheating. Anthony and you have talked about that scene, and he was all sweet with you and made sure that he only loves you. It's just a scene for a movie, but you still feel bad filming that.
"Let's get through that scene, and then we spend the rest of the night doing whatever we want. We could go out or just enjoy a movie night," he says, kissing you once again, and you nod softly.
Then you get off of him and out of bed, looking for your outfit of the day. Anthony looks at you, smirking, when he sees you stealing his shirt instead of taking the shirt you're supposed to wear for that scene.
"Sweetie, I don't think that's the right shirt," he says, getting out of bed as well.
"When they want me for that scene, they can at least let me wear whatever I want. COMPLETE OUT OF CHARACTER. Maybe I will take the shirt off at the end of the scene and throw it at them," you say with a smirk.
Tumblr media
You're standing next to the guys who belong to the crew, looking at the display that shows you what they're filming right now. You swallow harshly, trying to calm yourself down, when you see Steve, Natasha, and Sam walking into the house. Steve and Natasha just got improsioned by Hydra agents after they fought Bucky on the bridge. With Sharon's help, they escaped from the agents. Steve is still slightly confused about seeing his childhood best friend, now better known as the Winter Solider, working for Hydra - the company they fought against together in the 40's. And now they went to Sam's and yours house, asking him to stay there for a while, and Sam also offered them to clean themselves and get some food.
When Steve goes into the bathroom, Natasha and Sam are alone in the kitchen. He turns toward her, and they are suddenly so close that they both feel each other's breath on their lips. And then they lean closer. Sam captures Natasha's lips, smirking into the kiss.
You feel like you need to throw up, but it's just the scene. You know Anthony would never do this otherwise, right? You inhale deeply before you pick up the bags next to you and walk through the door. When you open the door and walk through it, the camera is pointed at you. You gasp, seeing your boyfriend kiss Natasha, then you let the bag fall on the floor, and the other two jump a few inches away from each other.
"Sweetheart?" Sam asks and looks with wide eyes at you.
You don't say anything; just turn around and walk out of the house. Tears are bruning in your eyes, slowly falling down your cheeks, while Sam shouts after you, following you out of the house.
"Sam, just piss off," you say, not even facing him.
"It's not how it looked."
"No? It looked like you were kissing another woman. A woman who isn't your girlfriend. Wait, sorry- ex-girlfriend," you say.
Sam sighs, trying to reach for your arm, but you take another step back, shaking your head softly. He knows that you don't want him to touch you, but he just can't stop himself from trying to get closer to you. Even when you know it's just for the movie, you suddenly feel really bad, and Anthony looks like he understands. His heart is breaking when he understands that that scene isn't just a play for you anymore; for you, it's way more like a movie scene right now. Happily, the scene is over when you walk away from him without saying another word, just smiling sadly at him and tuning away.
Anthony and the other two continue with the scene while you excuse yourself and make your way to your and Anthony's trailer. You didn't know the scene would throw you on the ground like that, but when you saw Anthony kissing Scarlett, even though it was just for the movie and only their characters kissing each other, but it reminded you of your ex-boyfriend. He cheated on you, kissing someone in the bar you wanted to meet. He tried to play it cool. Your ex-boyfriend told you that the girl was really drunk, and she was thinking it was her boyfriend. He apologized, and you accepted it. But he cheated on you once again, and this time he really felt for the girl; he slept with her and told you about it. Saying it's your fault because you didn't let him fuck you the way he wanted and that he needed to cheat on you to continue the relationship with you is the only option for him to still be in love with you.
After the scene, Anthony makes his way immediately towards your shared trailer, scared that you left because he knows the things your ex-boyfriend did, and the way you were looking at him, it wasn't the pain you can play; it was the pain that was written deep into your eyes. And his heart still aches when he thinks about it; he just wants to pull you tight against him, hold you in his muscular arms, and tell you that he loves you. Anthony knocks at the door of the trailer, opening the door when he hears your soft voice.
"Hi, sweetie," he says, entering the trailer and looking around to find you sitting wrapped in a blanket on the bed. 
"Please do- I- Sorry. Anthony, I-I think I forgot something on set."
He looks confused at you, recognizing your red eyes and the trails of tears on your cheeks. You get up from the bed, walking toward him. When you want to pass him, he grasps your arm and pulls you closer. There is still a bit of space between the two of you.
"Can we please talk?"
You shake your head, your eyes focused on the ground. You're ashamed for thinking he could have cheated on you, but they looked so happy together that you can't get it out of your mind. It was all for the scene, but it stuck in your mind that you feel like he could be happier with someone else, like your ex-boyfriend, who told you he was happy to finally have a girl who lets him do whatever and whenever he wants to her. He told you how good she is in bed - so much better than you could ever be - even though it was just because he wanted to hurt you that you believed him. When you met Anthony during another movie and the two of you came closer, you finally found yourself - the person you wanted to be, the one your ex-boyfriend pushed down. That person is there now because Anthony always encourages you to be the way you are because he loves you like that. But maybe he is tired of you now?
"Sweetie," Anthony says, letting go of you and looking at you while you run out of the trailer.
He knows the crew messed up, but the two of you need to fix that. While you run away, he lets himself fall down on the bed to think about a way to make it better. You're walking over the whole place, avoiding anyone who would pass you and talk to you. So you're walking around the trailers until you reach the little lake that is behind all the trailers. You just sit down there, looking at the water, while you listen to quiet music.
Your thoughts run wild; should you just go back to the trailer and talk to Anthony? He probably hates you because you just ran away. After a while, you look on your phone and see that Anthony sent you a message. With shaking hands, you unlock your phone and tap on his chat to read what he wrote.
'Sweetie, I know you don't want to talk. But could you please come to set four? You don't have to say anything; I just wanna show you something. So please come over there. Love you, sweetie.'
You feel relief rushing through your body when you read that he still loves you. You answer with a short 'Yes. Love you too.' before you get up from where you're sitting. Then you make your way to set three. You don't know what you're going to do there because it's actually the set where they film the scene where Sam and Bucky are fighting and Sam gets pushed down after Bucky rips off his wings. But you don't ask yourself more about it; when you already see the light shining there, you smile softly. When you hear Anthony shouting something and Seb and Chris laughing, it is echoing through the trailers.
When you walk through the entrance of the set, Anthony immediately looks at you and smiles warmly, holding his hand out for you to take your hand into his bigger one, and you do. You let him lead you a while further to the place where something is placed on the ground, and you furrow when you notice that his wings - Sam wings - are placed there.
"Wind beneath my wings," Anthony sings.
That's your song, Anthony's, and yours. And he often sings it to make you laugh, as he is doing this time. You shake your head, laughing, and mouth a 'silly' in his direction. He smirks at you, takes the wings, and puts them on his back like a bag, then nods in the direction where Sebastian and Chris are standing. Anthony wraps his arms tight around your waist, pulling you as close as possible, while the two of you suddenly get lifted from the ground. You place your hands around his neck, staring into his beautiful brown eyes. Then you move from one side to the other while he continues singing the song, smirking when you can't stop yourself from singing with him.
When the two of you finish the song and admire the view you had, you slowly move closer to the ground again. Seb and Chris are smirking at the two of you, and you smile back at them before you look once again at your boyfriend.
"So you're not gonna break up with me?"
"Sweetie, no! I never even thought once about that. I love you and want to show you, I-" he says,letting go of you and putting down the wings before he looks at you and smirks.
Anthony takes your hand into his, gets down on his knees, and looks for something in his pocket. Your mouth drops open, and this time you feel tears of joy rolling down your cheeks.
"I love you, and I'm sorry that we filmed that scene. When I saw that pain in your eyes, just because of a film kiss, I remembered the things you told me about your ex-boyfriend. When we first met, you know the day on set where we crashed into each other and you excused yourself for it? The times we were sitting next to each other, you cried, complained, and told me all about your ex-boyfriend. There, I knew you deserve someone better, someone who treats you the way you deserve. There, I fell so hard for you that Seb and Chris always made jokes about how much in love I am. When you smile- the sun is nothing compared to the way your smile lights up the darkest nights. I can get lost in your eyes whenever I look into them; they are as beautiful as you. And I can't get enough of you. I love you so much, and no one can change that, especially not a film kiss. You're everything to me, and I wanna be with you forever. So-" he breathes deeply, smirking at you. "Do you wanna marry me, sweetie?"
"I- Yes, I wanna marry you," you say, smiling at him.
Anthony puts the ring on your finger, gets up, and captures your cheeks with his warm hands. He smiles at you before he leans closer and captures your lips for a soft but passionate kiss. You hear Sebastian and Chris cheering next to the two of you. And when you pull slowly away, your foreheads are resting against one another. Anthony looks at you with such a soft expression in his eyes that you immediately fall for him once again. All the fears and thoughts about your past fade away, and there are just the two of you and your amazing future together. Anthony kisses you once again before you turn toward the other men. They really thought about everything because behind them is a table for the four of you filled with your favorite food. One of the things you really love in your relationship with Anthony and your friendships with Seb and Chris are the double dates the four of you have together. Anthony told you later that they are not gonna use the scene because they understand that it was way too much out of character, and since they love yours and Anthony's relationship as much as Sam and yours in the movie, they deleted the scene from the film.

We’re Terrible Influences
Paring: Avengers Cast (Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, Scarlett Johanson) x Reader
Summary: Part of the Civil War cast throw a 21st birthday party for you
Warning: drinking, swearing, hints of anxiety, drunk reader, WE GET SAD
A/N: Flufftober Day 4, this was fun
Tumblr media
“SURPRISE!!!”
“You have got to be kidding me”
You looked at the three men boys in front of you; Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, and Chris Evans. They had the goofiest smile on their faces, one holding a birthday hat, the other a sash, and a shot glass with clear liquid in it. “I told you guys multiple times I didn’t want a party.”
"We know," Chris said, "and we don't want to force you to do this." he continued. "But it's your 21st birthday, and if you don't get drunk then you are doing it wrong." Sebastian continued. "Actually I'm doing it right because I'm not pushing my body's limits-"
"NOPE! You don't get to be smart tonight. that can continue tomorrow. Tonight you get to have fun and get drunk with your favorite people in the world." Anthony said as he tried to hand you the clear glass.
"I told you no. The only reason I came over was for the birthday movie night we had planned." You said you try to push past the guys. But they weren’t having it and blocked you out.
“What’s going on? Are you nervous or something? Cause we are all very responsible adults.” Chris said as the three men have you the cheesiest thumbs up, making you laugh.
“It’s not that, I promise. I just don’t want to.” You said as you started subconsciously rubbing your thumb over your hand, a telltale sign that you were holding something back.
“No you are doing the thumb thing; what’s on your mind,” Seb said as he took one of your hands and held it. “I don’t know how I’m going to act when I’m drunk.” You said as you felt yourself exhale.
“So?” Chris asked. “So, I don’t want you to see me when I get to that point. I don’t know if I’m going to be happy, giggly, sad, or throwing up over the toilet.” The boys looked at each other before laughing a bit. You slapped each of their chests. “This isn’t funny, plus we have work in the morning. So there is also a valid reason as to why we can’t do this.” Anthony grabbed his phone before showing you a text message from Joe Russo
“Tell Y/n we took her off the call sheet for tomorrow. I don’t want to be emotionally responsible for her not having a 21st birthday party.”
You looked back at the boys as they all looked at you with raised eyebrows. You contemplated for a bit before holding out your pinky. “You promise that no matter how I turn out tonight if I get to that point, you will take care of me and have no judgment?” You said very seriously. They each took a free pinky and wrapped it around yours. “We promise,” Seb said as you all let go. You took a Breathe before reaching for the hat and sash. “Here goes nothing,” you said as you took the glass from Anthony's hand and took the shot. “yeah/Woo/let's go!” The boy said as you handed the glass back and started coughing. “That taste disgusting.” You said.
“You never had a shot before?” Anthony asked as you all walked into the house. It was at Chris’s AirBnB in Atlanta. “I have but I’m still not used to it.” You said as you walked into the living room. You saw that Scarlett was also there.
“Okay birthday girl, what do you want for your first drink?” Seb said ask we walked towards a counter that had tons of liquor, seltzers, juices, and beers on it. “Surprise me.” You said as you looked at Scarlett. She came over and gave you a hug. “Happy Birthday my love, are you ready?” Scarlet said as she fixed the hat on your head. “Ready as I’ll ever be.” You look towards Seb as he walked over with two drinks in hand and gave you one.
“What’s in this?” You said and you sniffed the top. “Vodka and Cranberry, a simple drink,” Sebastian said. You took a sip from it. It wasn’t too bad. “So we doing beer pong, kings cup, what the plan?” You asked.
“We are going to start off with Never have I ever. If you have done it you take a sip, and every 5 sips you take a shot.” Chris said as he brought over the Tito and shot glasses. “That sounds like I’m going to get drunk fast.” You said he placed them down at the table. “Well yeah, that’s the point,” Anthony said.
“Not fair. As the birthday girl, I think after this we need to play a game where everyone has a chance to get a little tipsy.” You said as you sat down on the velvet couch. “Okay, after this we will do truth or dare,” Scarlett said. “Good! Then let’s begin” you said as you took a sip of your drink.
4 hours later (all I will say about what happened is they found out you are not a virgin, you did drunk Karaoke with Seb, and you told them about your crush on a crew member)
“We are terrible influences, aren't we?” Sebastian said to the two friends standing next to him as they looked at you on the couch, drunk out of your mind. You were currently leaning against Scarlett as she was running her hands through your hair. “We are, but that’s our job,” Chris said.
“This was the best night EVER! Why didn’t anyone tell me it was this fun to drink?” You said as you looked at the boys, swaying a little. “I want more; this is Great.” You said as you tried to get up but you barely got off before Scarlett pushed you back down. "nope. you are officially cut off. You are out of it sweetie." Scarlett said as she rubbed your back now.
"Wait you want another shot?" Seb said as looked at the two girls. your eyes lit up like fireworks while Scarlett just gave him a look that could kill. "Please Sebby I want it." You gave him your best puppy eyes. "Of course sweetie. Anything for the birthday girl," he said as he walked back over to the counter. Chris followed after.
"You aren't actually going to give her another shot, right? Cause she is pretty out of it dude." He said as Sebastian grabbed a plastic shot glass. He took it to the sink and filled the shot glass with water as he looked at Chris. "Of course not. But if there is one thing I have learned from...Tom Holland..god I can't believe I said that." he said as Chris laughed. "is that when his friends are drunk, he gives them shots of water if they really want more but can't take more alcohol." he said as they walked back over to you.
"You guys are the bestest friends EVER! like 10 times better than anyone. I love you all so much." you told your friends. "we love you too kiddo. now come on, last shot of the night for the birthday girl!" Anthony said as he and Scarlett help you sit up. Sebastian handed you the shot glass which you took in your grabby hands. "GIMME GIMME GIMME," you said like a kid with cake. you down the water fast as your friends look at you with goofy grins on their faces. You looked at Seb with one of your famous 'death glares'
"You gave me water you bitch." you said in a serious tone. The others around you couldn't keep their snickers in as they all let out a laugh. "I said I wanted another shot." Your head fell back onto Scarlett's shoulder. "I know sweetie," he said as he sat cross-legged in front of you on the couch. "technically I did get you a shot because you didn't specify you wanted alcohol in it." You moved your legs so you were crisscrossed as well. You put your elbows on your knees as your hands went under your chin.
"I want vodka," you said as you looked into Sebastian's Blue eyes. He copied your movement and put his hands under his chin. "Not going to happen." He replied with a smirk. Chris just laughed and made his way over to you. "Okay, time to bed Squish," he said and he tried to get you to stand up. you pushed one of your hands in front of his mouth, never losing eye content with Seb.
"I'm in the middle of a very important negotiation right now Chris," you said as confidently as you could, although it only came out as a slurred mess. He took your hand off his mouth and wiped it on your sweatpants. "No, because you made us pinky promise that we take care of you if you got to this point, didn't you?" You turned to look at Chris and felt your eyes well up. you nodded your head as you wrapped your arm around Chris's neck. "You guys are so nice to me," you said as you let tears out onto his shoulder.
This came as a shock to them as you barely ever cry. You only ever let your guard down around people you really trust. Chris was the only one who has seen you like this. Chris sighed as he looked at his castmates. "Okay, now it's officially time for bed." He took one of your arms and helped you up. your whole body felt heavy and all you wanted to do was nap. You leaned into Chris's side as you felt him put his arm around your shoulders.
"why are you guys leaving?" you said as you saw them head toward the door. "We have work in the morning cupcake, but we had a fun time tonight. Happy Birthday." Anthony said as he rubbed your arm. Scarlett gave you a hug and said happy birthday as well. "Goodnight my favorite 21-year-old," Seb said as he kissed the top of your head that was resting on Chris's shoulder. You look back up at Chris with a tear running down your cheek. "Are you leaving me too?" you asked.
"Nope, don't worry about that now. Come on, I'm putting you in the guest room," he said as the two of you started to walk down the hall. "Did you have fun tonight?" Chris asked. Your eyes lit up again. "It was SOO much fun. Did you know Sebbie could SING? Cause he is really good." Right now you were in between your happy and sad drunk stage, which made conversations very hard for Chris. "I didn't but it was very fun indeed." He pushed open the door to the guest room as he help you get under the covers "it was sad when they all has to leave though." you could see your eyes getting cloudy with tears again. "I know Squish but we have to work tomorrow. But you don't need to, so you get to sleep in," he said as he pushed your hair back. You didn't come to the point of throwing up, but he put a bucket next to you and turned you on your side just in case.
"Can you promise to never leave me?" you asked Chris. He just looked at you with a sad face. He became a very important part of your life over the last couple of years of knowing him. "I can do my best sweetie," he said as he continued to stroke your hair back. You snuggled deeper into the sheets until you felt his hand move off your face. He started to head out the door before he heard a voice behind him.
"Stay, Chris?" you said as you reached out a hand, which took a lot of effort to do. He gave you a sympathetic smile that you couldn't see but you felt his hand intertwine with yours. You let out a sigh as you smiled happily. You two stayed quiet, you still weren't asleep quite yet but were on the verge of falling. "Thank you Chris for the best birthday ever," you said as you finally slipped into dreamland. "Happy birthday Y/n" Chris smiled proudly at you. He gave you a kiss on the forehead before retreating back to his own room.

Not A Monster To Me- Bucky Barnes xAvenger Reader Fan Fic
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Summary: Reader is an Avenger and working alongside Bucky and they’re friends and one night something changes their dynamic
Warnings: angst, fluff, mentions of hard past, mentions of self doubt, let me know if I miss anything
(Y/N’s POV)
Since working with Bucky and the rest of the avengers team it’s been great and I’ve gotten really close with Bucky but tonight he just seems very distant and will barely say anything to me. Usually would Bucky would make a smart joke or comment on something but I’ve felt like I’ve been talking to a wall all night long, I should probably see if he’s ok I’m worried about him. We’re at a bar trying to blend in as a couple while waiting for our target to show and I sipped more of my drink and looked at Bucky and said “hey, Bucky you’ve been quiet all night are you alright?” I try to put my hand on his but he moved his hand away and said “I’m fine doll it’s nothing we need to stay focused.” I heard Sam Wilson on the comm in my ear saying “hey you two there a problem over there, you’re suppose to be keeping an eye out” I felt like Bucky was mad at me and it was starting to bother me more and I said “Bucky are you mad at me?.. I feel like you don’t even wanna be here with me.” Bucky looked at me and looked upset and said “no.. it’s not that doll I’m sorry, it looks like they’re not gonna show, let’s get out of here and we’ll talk.” He signaled me to follow him and I walked out of the bar with him and we went back to my place to talk.
(Bucky’s POV)
We got to Y/N’s place and I could tell on the way here that she didn’t say much and I could tell I upset her and I don’t mean to I just.. I worry she won’t understand what’s going on. I sat down across from Y/N and said “hey Y/N before we start I just wanna let know it’s not you ok? I love spending time with you but doll I’m.. I’m going through a hard transition at the moment, ever since I lost my best friend Steve after I came back it’s been hard and I’m just afraid of being close to you.” Y/N looked at me worried and said “why are you afraid Bucky can we talk about that? I promise I’m here for you and I would never try and replace Steve I care about you.” I shook my head and said “it’s not that doll, I’m afraid of hurting you.. I killed people Y/N I’m a monster.” I started crying and said “I hate myself for it ever since stark found out what I did..” Y/N came to sit closer to me and said “no.. don’t doll.” Y/N hugged me close and said “shh just let me, I’m not afraid of you Buck, you’re not a killer or a monster not to me, you wanna stop that, I see this big hearted soft person who cares so much and someone who wants to change and help people.” I didn’t know how to feel because I’ve never had anyone treat me this way.
I hugged Y/N and said “why I was acting so distant towards you earlier, I wasn’t trying to upset you Y/N but I realized after all the time we spent together that I loved you and I was just trying to protect you because I don’t wanna hurt you and what if I accidentally end up doing that? I would never forgive myself because I love you doll you mean so much to me and you’re so kind to me, no one has ever shown me such kindness.” Y/N smiled and said “I love you too Bucky and there’s nothing to be afraid of Bucky I love you and you’re not that person you’re you ok?” I smiled at her feeling my heart flutter, this beautiful sweet woman every time I’m around Y/N my heart skips a beat knowing she sees me for who I am and not as a killer. I cupped her face in my hands and asked her “Can I kiss you doll face?” Y/N nodded with a smile and said “yes you may sir.” I leaned in closer to kiss her sweetly and said “god I’ve been wanting to do that for a while.. I love you Y/N, thank you for not giving up on me, you’re so pretty you know that?” Y/N blushed and leaned in to kiss me and said “I’m not going anywhere Bucky I love you so much, it’s gonna be ok I promise.” God how did I ever deserve such an amazing woman? I finally felt good about myself for the first time in so long all thanks to my amazing girl.
Alright hey lovelies 😊🤍🤍 I thought the idea for this fic was a really sweet idea 🥹 hope you all enjoy xx

Blow my Mind
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
''Yeah but it'll go away.'' he pulled out of me. I used my powers to make him sit back down. ''What if i want more?'' He licked his lips and smirked as i sat down on his dick. He went slower this time and focused more on my boobs. He sucked one of them and played with the other with his hand. I moaned loudly when he bit on my neck. My breasts were full of marks but neither of us cared. ''James i'm-'' i came before i could finish my sentence and he came in me again. He pulled out and cleaned the mixture of our juices in my pussy.
''What a way to start the day.'' i chuckled. ''I brought you pancakes by the way.'' he smiled.
''If you wouldn't mind carrying me to kitchen i would love to eat them.'' i responded.
*in the kitchen* Bruce and Natasha were making out on the counter and i fake coughed.
''Finally, they're kissing.'' James laughed as they came back and we sat to have breakfast.
''You guys seemed like you were having fun in there.'' Natasha whispered and i giggled.
''I could say the same thing about you.''
''Hey.'' Natasha greeted me. I smiled and opened the fridge. ''There isn't any milk left if that's what you're looking for.'' she told me. ''It doesn't matter, she likes her coffee without milk anyways.'' i told her. ''Is she still sleeping?'' ''Yeah, i wanted to surprise her.''
''Same here.'' she smiled. We didn't usually talk that much with Natasha but i liked her. She was kind and sweet. She had the powers to shapeshift and create illusions but she usually didn't use them. She also could fly the jet better than us so she generally helped us with that.
''I made a lot so you don't have to make something again. I'll tell her you
made them if she asks.''
''Thanks.'' i smiled at her and I pulled 2 plates out of the cabinet. I handed one of them to Natasha and she put the pancakes on it. We exchanged plates and i put honey on it until she prepared the other plate.
''There are some strawberries and i can't eat them since i'm allergic to them but you can put a few on top of it.'' she offered. ''Thanks, again.'' i smiled and put a few strawberries on the pancakes. I told Natasha see you and went back to my room. y/n was sleeping so peacefully i didn't want to wake her up but then, i had an idea that i thought she would like.
I put the plate on the desk and went back to bed. I quietly pulled the blanket away from her body. She was sleeping just in a sports bra and her panties which made it easier for me. I pulled her panties down carefully not to wake her up. I sat on the corner of the bed and started eating her out.
''Fuck James..'' y/n groaned. ''Good morning to you too.'' i smirked into her heat. She moaned loudly when i sucked her clit. She gripped my hair and lifted her body up a bit to give me better access. ''How did you sleep?'' i asked her as i started stroking myself. ''It was good but you-fuck..'' she couldn't finish her sentence when i got up and softly bit her nipple through her bra. She pulled me up to kiss her.
your pov
I had just woke up to my boyfriend eating me out and he was using all the tongue tricks in the book. I gripped his hair and lifted my ass up a little bit more. He asked me how i slept but i couldn't finish my sentence when he bit my nipple.
I pulled him up and kissed him harshly. When he stopped for air i started kissing down his neck. He moaned when i pulled his boxers down and licked the tip of his dick. I slowly stroked him and eventually i took him fully in my mouth. As he fucked my throat for a while, he played with my hair. I got up and took my bra off.
He immediately started licking my nipples because it was my favorite. While he was playing with my nipples i lined myself up with his dick and sat down onto it. He moaned loudly and i started bouncing up and down. At first he was slow and he allowed me adjust to his size but he kept going faster and faster until i came all over his cock. He came inside me right after but i was on the pill so it was okay. He pulled my head up and kissed me.
''You're still hard.'' i told him.

Swimming Dicks
Chris Evans x Fem!Reader
Mcu Cast x FemReader
Summary:A fan’s questions gets you and Chris into a tricky situation
warnings:Mention of Penises/Sex,Mackie is confused,Scott is in the audience
Tumblr media
“So..Chris.What is the strangest thing someone asked you?”Chris thought for a moment and laughed”Oh I have something.”He looked over at you”No!Evans!”He only laughed at you”So one day Y/n and I were at the pool at Ma’s house.I went swimming and she laid in the sun.Everything fine and chill.”He couldn’t hold back another laugher while you shrunk in your seat.
“I lifted myself out of the water and she sat up.Y/n only looks at me and goes:Chris?Does your Penis swim or is it at your body when you are in the water?And looked at me in the most curious way”Everyone erupted into laughter.
After everyone calmed down Hemsworth spoke up. “Well mine doesn’t”He said and looked at Chris”Mine neither”And looked at you”Who’s Penis is swimming?Mine doesn’t do that either”Hiddleston said laughing.
Mackie was confused”Hold up.How big are your dicks that they don’t swim?!”Everyone erupted into laugher again”What?It’s a good question”He said shrugging. “How tiny is YOURS that it does swim?”Sebastian asked,leaning over to him”You wanna find out?”
Sebastian’s eyes widened and he sat back up straight.
”No thanks dude”
Everyone laughed again”Well..Now we got that answered and now let’s move on”You try to change the topic”No,No,No.Y/n.How big is Chris’ dick that it doesn’t swim?!”Mackie asked,slightly offended.Chris laughed and did his famous left boob grab on himself.
“Wha-?How should I-What the?I don’t even know that!”You said”LIE!”Someone screamed from the audience.Just then you spotted Chris’ brother Scott in the first row.You opened your mouth to say something but closed it after nothing came.
“Scott is obsessed with the idea of me and Y/n dating.Just ignore him.”Chris said,trying to cover your stuttering.Mackie didn’t believe a word that came out of Chris’ mouth”Leave them alone my gosh.”Scarlett said laughing”If they wanna have sex then let them.It’s not like they would admit their feelings for each other”Robert said and leaned back in his chair.
Now it was not only your but also Chris’ mouth that was open”What?!”You answered”We aren’t having sex-“,”ANOTHER LIE”Scott again”Dude.Shut up.You have no idea about anything”You say into Scott’s direction”No?Then who’s woman stuff is it at his house?You play golf too.Normally you wear a shirt with your last name on it.Are you missing it?Well it’s in Chris’ house”Scott said.
You were indeed missing your golf shirt.After the last time you played with Chris,you went home with him.Normally you two would never give in but the tension was to much to ignore.Since then it happened after premier’s,in your trailer’s on set,Bathroom’s or just at home.You leaned back”I’m not gonna say anything anymore”You crossed your arms in front of your chest.
Chris also leaned back and over to you”Well Scott is a backstabber”He said.You nodded and turned your head to him”But poor mackie.Guess his Dick is really not that big”You said jokingly.Chris laughed and laid his forget on your shoulder.You laughed too.
Maybe it was time to take Scott’s words serious..?

hello, sorry this took so long! I hope you like it!

“Hey, baby!” Anthony walks into the bedroom, his eyes staring at something on his phone. 
“Yeah?” Your thumb swipes the smudged lipstick from the bottom of your lip, eyes staring at your hunk of a boyfriend through the mirror. 
“I found something… Interesting. Do you know what this is?” He stalks forward, turning his phone around, causing your eyes to widen for a split second as they land on an old video of you, the scene playing silently. “Because I swear this is you, but I’m like… Nah, it can’t be! Sebastian wouldn’t send me a video of my girl, I mean. He wouldn’t send me a video of any girl, but when I read that message underneath saying your name. I had to check it out.”
Your brow raises as he continues to ramble. You spin in your chair to face him. “I’m not going to lie. That is me. I told you that my job at the time wasn’t paying enough to be able to eat every day or have a good enough roof over my head, and I did some things to help that. But I stopped after our first date.”
He nods, turning his phone off and placing it down as he leans closer to you. “I ain’t mad, baby. I've got to admit… All those videos I watched, fuck, it made me hard.” His hand comes up and grips your chin. “Why don’t you show me what you got, baby.” 
“Yeah? Does daddy want me to give him a little show?” His eyes widen as he nods, staggering backwards onto the bed as you stand and slowly begin to untie your robe. “Did daddy like when I touched myself in front of the camera? Did you wish it was your name I was screaming?” Anthony’s mouth opens and closes, watching your robe drop. Eyes trace your nude form as you begin to set up a camera. “Don’t worry, daddy. This one is just for us.”
He groans as you sit on his lap, your hands moving down your body as you stare deeply into his eyes. A soft moan escapes you when your fingers make contact with your swollen clit, rubbing slow circles as you stare into his eyes. “Fuck, baby. This is so hot!” His hands grip your hips, eyes flickering between your movements and your eyes. 
You slowly slip your fingers into your dripping hole, moaning as you curl your fingers. “Do you like this, daddy? Like me touching myself on your lap?” Your head falls back as you continue to thrust your fingers inside yourself. Anthony’s gaze focuses on your hand, feeling his cock swell in his pants, gripping your hips harder as he holds himself back.
“Yeah, baby! I love this so fucking much!” He leans forward, placing rushed and hot kisses against your neck, knowing it’s the most sensitive spot on your body, the part that gets you the horniest. The soft moan that falls from your plump lips causes his cock to stir and your fingers to pick up the pace. The squelch of your wetness fills the room. He begins to suck on your sweet spots, enjoying the sweet sounds that escape you.
“Oh, daddy! I’m so close. Can I please cum?” Anthony reaches down, rubbing your clit. Groaning as you soak his fingers. “Please, daddy!”
“Go ahead, baby. Cum for me!” He watches as you cum, feeling his cock throb as your juices cover him. He holds you close as you calm down. Anthony leans back, catching your hooded eyes as you stare at him. “You feel good, baby?”
You nod, slowly pulling your fingers out and bringing them to his mouth. A moan escapes both of you as his lips wrap around them and suck. Your hand moves back down to grasp his bulge, “You want to make the most of the film, daddy?” You look at him with wide eyes, pouting.
He nods, flipping you both around. His large body was towering over your smaller one. “We’re going to roleplay so much, baby. You better be ready.”

Four Course - Bucky Barnes
TITLE: Four Course - Bucky Barnes (Restaurant AU)
FANDOM: Marvel’s “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” 
CHARACTER: James “Bucky” Barnes 
MAIN STORYLINE: As Bucky helps a restaurant succeed, you suddenly turn heads. 
Author’s Note: Hey! I couldn’t get away from one absolute brainrot. This project is also loosely inspired by “Burnt” and “The Bear.” Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for reading my work as always. - V.  💜
Main Masterlist
___________
2024
Tumblr media
“You’re late, Sam. What the hell?” Clashing dishes and sizzled burners echoed all around while James continued working, already slammed. 
“Watch your mouth, I just clocked in. Had to drop AJ and Cass off at school this morning too.”  Sam quickly rolls his eyes. “Is Z here yet?” 
“Nope.” James immediately praises the ceiling, casted in fluorescent lights that sharpened too much now. 
“Thank God.” Sam pings that response, snatching one of many tickets and handing it to one server in record time. “I’m not trying to deal with his attitude yet.” 
“Neither am I.” James agrees. The last few years scorched like Hell. Zemo had finally traveled stateside and opened this restaurant. 
“Stop complaining. He can smell annoyance blocks away.” Joaquin warns, returning to the kitchen and still giving meal orders. 
“Obviously.” James shakes his head, cooking regardless with his bare right hand. 
____________
Helmut Zemo would’ve arrived during the first shift, but showing up fashionably late still made a difference in his own mind. 
His limousine pulls up towards that familiar curb and one young driver almost runs around New York traffic just to aid that exit. 
“Thank you.” Helmut whispers gratitude with accented English, but uses a separate door to enter the restaurant.
*****
“Shit, Come on. Zemo’s coming!” After running outside, Joaquin finds James  smoking a cigarette and finally snaps, sending himself into panic. 
“Where’s he now?” James stubs out the cigarette and brushes off his uniform, standing up in an effort to calm Joaquin down. 
“Kitchen. Get up.” Joaquin continues, no longer messing around. 
“I thought he didn't spook you anymore.” James chuckles without humor and still faces Joaquin. 
“Zemo doesn’t scare me, but we got a critic today. She’s hiding through our rush at this point.” Joaquin sends out even more alarm bells.
 James almost wants to choke him with his leftward metal arm. 
“Why didn’t you just say that?” James almost yells out loud, but is smart to walk back inside with Joaquin trailing behind him. 
___________
This restaurant leveled out in terms of quality placement, but wasn’t exactly known to be high-end. 
Ambitious owner Helmut Zemo founded the location eight years back, fusing Sokovian favorites right alongside other cuisine nowadays. 
The official review would be…something. Not that you would bum out this entire place, but everything felt rushed for plating. Each meal balanced onto your table without showing much love. 
You wouldn’t fault the cooks, at least not yet. 
***
“Is she nice?” Now, Joaquin mentions you, the critic, fighting an urge to cringe. Yet, he still helps out his coworkers. There’s no other choice. 
“So far.” Zemo clears his tone, clipping the response. 
“Quit chatting, you two. We gotta work and she wants dessert in the next few minutes.” Sam chimes, uniting with James as tickets keep moving in or out of the kitchen. 
“Sam?” Zemo arches one leftward brow and crosses his suited arms. James and Joaquin keep working, completely ignoring this quiet square up. 
“What? I’m not wrong.” Sam defends himself and silence then falls between both men. Zemo walks off. 
“James, come with me.” Zemo instructs. James can’t refuse, following both Zemo and Joaquin out towards the dining room. 
_________
“Here you go, Miss.” Smiling, Joaquin greets you once more and ends up gifting scrumptious cheesecake as dessert. “Hope this one makes you feel better.” 
“Thank you.” You grin back and chuckle at the moment, looking forward to enjoying this slice. 
James and Zemo stand at a fair distance as you turn your fork, cutting down this cake a bit more now. 
“Last bite.” After different meals, from appetizers to right here, Zemo whispers, hoping that you won’t actually step away and shut this restaurant down. 
Meanwhile, James’s heart races and drops all at once. In truth, he crafted every morsel that you’ve ordered. 
“How’s the cake?” Joaquin smiles back at you for the millionth time. 
“I need another slice.” You wipe your lips and rave, genuinely surprised. 
“Yes, Ma’am.” Joaquin nods, saying farewell as you finish eating the first cake slice alone. 
“Zemo?” You acknowledge Helmut at last, gesturing for this man to come closer despite this dinner rush. 
“Yes?” Helmut answers quietly, using his typical brand of charm to greet you. 
“Who covered my orders?” You question Zemo. 
At that moment, James’s blue eyes nearly widened. Still, you look right at him, knowing that he is the main “culprit.” 
“Fair enough.” James accepts that comment. You’re standing feet away from him now, privately standing outside and not viewed under Zemo’s watch. 
________
“Tonight wasn’t bad,” You tell James. “The main entree that you put out could’ve been a lot better, though.” 
“Glad you’re so understanding.” You nod, taking in your sight of an alleyway landscape. Horns blare from nearby traffic. 
“Good to see you again.” James clears his throat, slyly referring to the past. 
“Call me, Buck.” You lift your cell phone, use his nickname, and wink, heading elsewhere to leave him behind.

"Is it because I'm younger than you?" Tom says approaching you, just as the director yells cut.
"Which?" Y/n asks looking doubtfully at Tom, who scratches the back of his head.
"Let's take a break folks!" the director cuts, and Y/n takes advantage of Tom's moment of distraction to distance himself from him.
"Y/n wait!" She hears Tom yelling right behind her.
"Wait please don't run away this time, I just want to understand." He says pulling her arm making Y/n stop walking and turn to him.
"Tom..."
"I just need a clear answer, and then I swear I'll never bother you with it again." He says it seriously, and Y/n feels his heart tighten.
Y/n turns around and starts walking again, but Tom is faster and runs in front of her, stopping Y/n again.
"I don't understand, we were doing so well, we almost kissed, what happened?"
"Why are you insisting so much on this?"
"Y/n I like you so much, you stole my heart so fast, and I don't care that you have it, I'm actually glad you do." He says smiling softly.
"Have you ever been in love?" Tom asks after a moment of silence.
"I'm not sure" Y/n replies and Tom giggles looking down.
"Well, it's the most amazing thing in the world, you feel like... you don't need anything else, and days are easier to start and easier to end because you can't wait to see that person again. " Y/n looks at Tom in shock, and he blushes as he feels her eyes on him.
Y/n looks at him, and can see the infinity in his eyes
"Hey, wanna tell me what's going on in there?" Tom asks, taking Y/n's hand.
"I'm scared Tom."
"And I'm so in love with you."
"Stop saying those things!"
"Sorry I can't help it!" The two laugh and are interrupted by the notification sound on Tom's cell phone.
When Tom lets go of Y/n's hand to take his cell phone from his pocket, she realizes that she can already miss the warmth of his hand "Where does that come from?" Y/n thinks.
"Look Sebastian tagged us in a photo." Tom showed Y/n his cell phone, and there was a photo that Sebastian had just posted of Tom and Y/n pretending to punch Sebastian who was in their midst, and the caption of the photo was "My couple (not couple) favorite"
"He's terrible" Y/n says and they both laugh.
You stare at each other for a while with loving eyes on your faces, until he takes your hand and places a kiss on her back.
"You are so Beautiful." He says blushing and Y/n laughs.
"Even with all this fake blood?"
"Oh sure!" they both laugh, and then he pulls her into a hug.
"I know I'm a few years younger than you, but I promise if you give me a chance I'll love you so much you'll get sick of me." he says and you both laugh.
"Tom I swear this has nothing to do with your age."
"So what is it?"
"I'm not good at relationships Tom."
"Me neither dear, but maybe we can try to help each other, and make it work." Tom says sincerely.
"And i don't think I could get enough of you Tom." He looks surprised at you.
"Is this... is it serious?"
"It sure is...maybe we can try." Y/n says smiling at Tom, and his heart races.
"This is so amazing! wow I...you are amazing!" Tom steals a kiss from Y/n who blushes at the attitude.
"Sorry I shouldn't have done that..." Tom says laughing and scratching the back of his head.
"No I…I liked that." Y/n says and kisses Tom's cheek.
"Want to go to dinner with me today?" Tom asks excitedly.
"I want."
Maybe this could work, and she's just overthinking it.
Bonus
"You want to bet how much they're having an argument about the relationship right now?" Anthony says sitting next to Sebastian, who had just posted the photo.
"Opposite he talked about his age." Sebastian says laughing.
"Well, Chris bet that before the weekend they would finally be together." Anthony says drinking the beer.
Before Sebastian can respond, a notification sound from Anthony's cell phone indicating a new message fills the room.
"It's Chris." He says opening the message
"I won" Along with a picture of Y/n and Tom holding hands on the set of the new movie.

Maybe drabble: just wanna cry her POV
From HER point of view cause I'm having a bad a day.
Tumblr media
So stressed just kinda wanted to cry out of no where. Overwhelemed and underwhelmed too many choices and not enough so I wrote a "Maybe" drabble.... choose your he. You all know who my he would be he just looks cuddly.... God I feel like I sound like a creep.
18+ just incase Comments and reblogging welcome no reposting or publishing
Warnings are: angst and fluff and sadness feeling of being overwhelmed
"Hey babe what's wrong" he sits down next to me nuding me in the shoulder playfully
"Nothing" I'm kinda solemn
"You're pouting " he smirked
"I am not"
"You are too and it's adorable as much as I love it tell me what wrong I want to help."
"I'm just I can't im so overwhelmed I'm just"
"Just what." As she talked he grew more and more concerned
"Wanna give up......... and just leave move away"
"For a second there you scared me." He let out a sigh of relief. "You had a bad day or longer but it'll get better. I'll be right here if it doesn't. And then we can move away somewhere."
"Someone will always find you." She knew it was useless
"So I'll shave my head and dye my eyebrows pink" hoping he'd get a laugh out of her.
"You shave your hair and you're dead."
It's just I just want to cry I can't do this anymore."
"Can't do what baby, I can't help unless I know whats wrong." He pulled her closer practically on his lap with his arms wrapped around her holding her as tight as he can sitting sideways /next to eachother.'
"Just work and deadlines and I dont know what to write and it's overwhelming and there too many choices and too many options and classes and then I have no idea what I'm doing." The tears finally came to the surface.
"Shhhh its ok just let it out."
So are you shushing me or telling me not to sush?
He chuckled "I'm trying to comfort you. Am I doing that bad of a job."
"Yes" I pout.
"Tell me then tell me how I could make you feel better."
"Just hold me."
"Just hold you that's its?"
"Don't let me go."
"Never he wispered into my ear.
Its so clear like a memory a memory that's a dream of a memory like a deja vu of a dream where you're having deja vu. Everything is so clear.
That's what I think he would say anyway what I wish me what I wish he would do.
I wish I he could just hold me and let me cry and he wouldn't care if his shirt got wet or if we sat there for an hour. He'd just want me to be ok. And I'm writing this my tears are falling because millions of girl wish that. Millions of people I'm no one. I'm nothing just a drop of rain in a hurricane. I think he was the man on the train but who knows maybe it just wasn't meant to be maybe I....I dont know just maybe.
Hwr Facebook status said bad day kinda wanna cry and move away and start another life
Hw read it.. his heart broke. Little did she know that that had happened that he had held her as she cried made her could hot chocolate and they snuggled. He had stayed awake all night and watched her sleep. He remembered that day all too well.
He thought if only he could be with her now...maybe one day...maybe

Just Give Me A Reason - Pink
---
La Venta Dr, Poway, California - July 13th 2023 - 3 pm
Time seemed to stop as she gazed at him. Nothing and no one seemed to matter but him. The man whom she had never stopped loving since the first time she laid eyes on him 22 years ago. She should have known, she should have guessed. He really was the one for her. He really was the love of her life. He really did love her and him being there proved that.
She forgot that there were a lot of people around them. She put her cellphone in her pocket and immediately ran to him. He stood up after setting Starlene down gently on the grass. He smiled at her and opened his arms wide for her.
She jumped into his arms like a caught fish that was out of the water and somehow found its way back into the water. He was her life, he was her oxygen, and she didn't know how she could've lived without him for all this time.
Her arms looped around his neck and both her legs wrapped around his waist as she buried her face on the crook of his neck. He had his arms around her waist, his nose buried in her hair as they savored the moment of finally being together again.
"You're here.. you're here.. you're really here." she said into his ear, her nose inhaling his signature scent and the usual cologne he wore. Oh how much she missed that about him.
"I'm here.. I'm really here.. sweetheart." He replied gently.
Tears started to pool in her eyes as she leaned back and stared at his smiling face.
"But I thought you had a re-shoot today?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Oh it's a long story. I'll tell you later." He smiled.
She smiled back and for a moment everything seemed perfect. He leaned closer to her, glancing at her lips, then with a swift movement he captured her lips in his, making her lose her breath.
Home, she was finally home. She would never trade it for anything else. They kissed each other deeply, passionately and for a moment she just let herself drown in him.
"Ahem.." a deep male voice cleared his throat.
They stopped kissing immediately and she jumped down from his arms only to find Anthony Mackie, standing next to them, carrying Starlene in his arms and staring at her with a twinkle in his eyes.
"You two need to get a room." He snickered.
"Oh Anthony, shut it." Sebastian said, laughing.
"Anthony, how are you?" She asked, her face reddened as she gave Anthony a hug.
"Much better now that we're here. I'm getting sick of hearing him moping about how you don't love him anymore." He chuckled.
"Anthony!" Sebastian scolded him.
She laughed as she heard Anthony.
"Oh but it's true, honey. I was going insane not knowing if you still loved me or not." Sebastian said, pouting at her while his hand snaked around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
"Oh Seb. Well, now that you're here I can confidently say that.." she started to say but she stopped as she looked at the figures walking towards them right behind where Anthony was standing.
Her eyes widened as she registered the people walking towards them. Apparently Sebastian had come with his Thunderbolts co-stars. She saw Wyatt Russell, David Harbour, Florence Pugh, Steven Yeun, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ayo Edebiri and the person with whom she was starstruck the most, Harrison Ford.
"Oh my God, Seb.. you invited them all to come here?!" She exclaimed, her jaw dropped to the floor.
"Uh.. yeah. They were all curious about you and wanted to meet you. And Harrison wanted to meet your dad." He chuckled.
"What have you been telling them about me?" She asked in suspicion.
"Oh nothing.. just that you're the most amazing woman in the world." He winked then gave her a kiss on her temple.
"Oh Seb." She said as she felt warmth crawling from her neck up to her face.
Each of Sebastian's co-stars took turns to shake her hand and Sebastian's mother's hand. It didn't take long for her father to realize they were there and he was so ecstatic to get to meet Harrison in person.
Eventually the party turned into a sudden meet and greet session as each of the party guests took turns to talk and take pictures with all of Sebastian's co-stars. But the most popular celebrity was of course Elmo AKA Sebastian. He took turns taking pictures with everyone in his complete Elmo costume as well as without the top part, delighting everyone.
It wasn't until Diane brought out some cupcakes and snacks that the crowd dispersed and everyone started to gather in smaller groups, chatting and enjoying the food.
Sebastian - who finally took off his Elmo costume because it made him sweat like a pig - and her were talking with Harrison Ford and her dad when Florence Pugh approached them.
"Excuse me.. sorry.. Sebastian, are we still going to do the thing we practiced before?" She asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Oh..umm.." Sebastian looked back towards Y/n, doubt in his eyes.
"Maybe we don't have to." He finally answered.
"Are you sure? I'd hate to waste that much time practicing only to find that we don't end up doing it." She said, the corners of her mouth turned downwards into a frown.
"Oh.. Flo.." He sighed.
"What are you guys talking about? What did you practice doing?" Y/n asked, her eyebrows raised.
"Uh.. nothing." Sebastian quickly replied.
"Oh c'mon, Sebastian. I already brought my guitar!" Florence pleaded.
"Guitar? Have you been practicing singing or something?" Y/n asked in delight.
"Uh.. yeah. I thought you might still be angry at me so I planned on singing something for you. Flo offered to help me in playing the guitar and be the backup singer." He said, his cheeks reddened.
"Oh my God, really? Well then I want to see it!" She said.
"You're gonna love it! We practiced singing four songs! It's gonna be a mash up!" Florence said excitedly.
"Well now I want to see it too!" Harrison chimed in.
"Yeah, come on son! We all want to see it!" Y/n's father piped up as he clapped Sebastian's shoulder in encouragement.
"Please Iubirea mea. I won't laugh at you. I promise." Y/n said, giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Oh alright. Since everyone seems to want to see me make a fool of myself. Fine." Sebastian said, making everyone laugh.
"Oh you're gonna be great. Don't be so humble." Florence scolded him.
"Now come on!" She said as she beckoned for him to come with her.
"Alright.. alright.." Sebastian nodded and he was met with enthusiastic whoops and cheers from Y/n, her father and Harrison.
Moments later he sat on a stool with Florence next to him on the make shift stage they had set up on the front porch. Florence had her guitar with her and she was tuning it while Sebastian took the time to speak to the guests.
"Hello everyone, good afternoon." He smiled.
"So, I.. uh.. have prepared a little performance for my beautiful wife." He said slowly as he gazed at her while everyone clapped and cheered.
"I wasn't going to do it because.. well.. honestly.. I'm not that good of a singer." He said but he was cut off.
"Oh bull..!" Anthony Mackie exclaimed out loud, making everyone laugh.
"Anyway, Florence talked me into it and my wife said she wouldn't laugh at me.. so.." he said and everyone laughed again.
She really loved this side of him. He really was a natural performer. He was just too shy and too humble sometimes.
"This is for you my beautiful queen." He said and he winked at her, making her heart skipped a beat.
Everyone clapped and cheered and a moment later the guests quieted down as Florence started to strum the first few notes of the song.
Y/n's heart did somersaults as she realized what song he was going to sing first. Yes, she usually heard the song in its original form and not the acoustic version, but she recognized the song anyway.
Summer came and left without a warning All at once I looked and you were gone And now you're looking back at me Searching for a way that we can be like we were before
He was singing Endless Summer Nights by Richard Marx! The memorable song that they danced to the night he first told her about how he felt about her. She closed her mouth with her hand as she felt a tear dropped from her eyes. He could be so romantic. Her heart swelled looking at him as he continued to sing.
Now I'm back to what I knew before you Somehow the city doesn't look the same I'd give my life for one more night Of having you here to hold me tight; oh, please Take me there again Oh, oh
Suddenly Florence changed the keys and added some more notes to the song and she ended up playing a different song. This must be the second song, she thought in awe.
And I swear
If you come back in my life I'll be there till the end of time Oh yeah (back to me, back to me, back into my life) And I swear I'll keep you right by my side 'Cause baby you're the one I want Oh yes you are (back to me, back to me, back into my life)
He was singing If You Come Back by Blue. She shook her head in awe and disbelief. Somehow the song fit perfectly both in lyrics and melody with the first song. Florence and Sebastian really did a good job.
I watched you go Takin' my heart with you, oh yes you did Every time I try to reach you on the phone Baby you're never there, girl you're never home
So if I did something wrong please tell me I want to understand 'Cause I don't want this love to ever end
Sebastian looked at her intently as he sang this part and she knew how sorry he was about what happened between them.
Once again Florence added some additional melody and the song progressed into a third song and everyone cheered. She felt tears streaming down her face as she figured out the next song he was singing. It was If You're Not The One by Daniel Bedingfield.
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away And I breathe you into my heart and Pray for the strength to stand today 'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right And though I can't be with you tonight You know my heart is by your side
He gazed at her intently when singing this part and she could feel the pain behind the words. She missed him terribly as well and all she wanted was just to go up there and hug him and tell him she missed him too.
Florence added more progression after this part and she strummed the notes for the next song. When she realized what the next song was, she felt her heart beat so fast and tears continued to stream down her face. The song was I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz.
And I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up
'Cause even the stars, they burn Some even fall to the earth We got a lot to learn God knows we're worth it No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make Our differences, they do a lot to teach us how to use The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end you're still my friend, at least we did intend For us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn We had to learn how to bend, without the world caving in I had to learn what I got and what I'm not And who I am
She cried as she heard him sing this part. How so very true to their situation the lyrics were. She couldn't helped but be touched so deeply by them.
I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up I'm still looking up
She clapped hard as Sebastian and Florence finally finished performing the mash up. She wiped the tears from her eyes as she stood up and gave them a standing ovation and everyone else followed suit.
He sang that he won't give up and she won't either. He loved her with all his heart and she loved him too. So she went to the stage and without caring that everyone were staring at them, she sat on his lap and hugged him tight, startling him.
It felt as if there were only the two of them in the world as they embraced each other tight while everyone cheered around them.
"I love you Sebastian Stan." She whispered into his ear.
"I love you more my love, my sweet Y/n Stan." He whispered back, making her smile.
---
She thought everything was perfect that day as she watched him play with Starlene on the bouncy castle. But she should have known that nothing in the world was perfect and that day was no exception.
She was sitting on the front porch, sipping an iced tea when Florence sat next to her, bringing a glass of iced tea herself.
"Mmm.. this is so good. What did you put in it?" Florence asked after she took a sip.
"It's peach tea. It's sweet and refreshing isn't it?" She turned to look at Florence and smiled.
"It is. I usually just go for Jasmine or green tea. But I like this one too." She smiled.
"Oh I love Jasmine and green tea too. But I figured I should serve something different today." She responded.
"And I love everything you've served. The food was all yummy. The cupcakes especially. I love the chocolate one." Florence commented.
"Oh yeah. My stepmom made the cupcakes. She used to work at a bakery and I just absolutely love her cupcakes!" She gushed.
"Oh that explains it! I thought they weren't home made. They seemed professionally baked."
She smiled. "They were. We used a high end mixer and she has this special oven to bake them in that is the same brand as the one in the bakery she used to work in."
"Well that explains it even more." Florence chuckled.
"Anyway, your husband is one of a kind. You're really lucky." She continued.
"Oh thank you. Yeah, he can be such a romantic." She smiled again proudly.
"He never stops talking about his daughter and you when we're on set. Starlene this Starlene that, or Y/n this Y/n that. In the end everyone was dying to meet you and Starlene." Florence chuckled and she couldn't help but felt her heart swell at her words.
"I mean, we all hate that the writer's strike happened so that we had to quit production. But if it weren't for the strike we wouldn't be here." Florence continued.
"What? Writer's strike?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Yeah. Since the script for Thunderbolts evolves on set, you know Jake sometimes want to add or take away things and we sometimes do some improvs on set. But because of the writer's strike we can't do that anymore." Florence explained.
"Don't get me wrong. I support the writers with all my heart. They deserve fair pay and all that. But I hate that the strike disrupts production. I mean, now I have to keep being in shape for some extra months." Florence laughed.
She laughed along with her but she couldn't keep away the feeling of annoyance in her heart. The writer's strike? So that's the real reason why he could come today and not because of her or Starlene? She thought bitterly as the realization hit her.
She looked back towards Sebastian who was accompanying Starlene play on the slide on the bouncy castle and was startled at how quickly her feelings towards him change.
She now looked at him with a frown on her face and a heavy feeling in her heart as anger slowly seeped into her heart, turning the perfect day into another bad day.
---
It was 8 at night when everyone finally went home. Her dad's house was finally quiet. Only Shannon and Sebastian's mother stayed behind to help her and her family clean up. Starlene was already sleeping so she could help clean up as well.
She picked up a large trash bag and went to the front lawn and started picking up some trash from the ground. Suddenly she felt a warm body hugging her from behind, making her jumped in surprise.
"Seb! You scared me!" She yelled as she turned around and saw Sebastian's smiling face so close to hers.
"I'm sorry sweetheart. I've missed you." He said as he started kissing her neck gently.
"Seb.. stop it." She pushed him away and started to pick up some trash again.
"Honey, just leave all the trash for the others to clean up. Let's just go to our room and catch up." He winked.
As much as she missed him and longed for him, she was still annoyed at him. If what Florence said was true, that Thunderbolts production had been halted because of the strike, that meant he came today not because of her or Starlene, but because of the strike. And that thought angered her so much.
"No." She only managed to say as she continued to pick up the trash.
"Honey, what's wrong?" He asked as he started to help her pick up the trash.
"Nothing." She replied. She wasn't in the mood to talk about it. She was angry at him but she didn't want to start up a fight outside where everyone could hear them.
"Okay. I'll help you clean up then maybe we can take a shower together?" He asked again with a twinkle in his eyes.
"No thanks, Seb." She replied coldly.
Sebastian seemed to notice her change of mood but he decided not to mention it again.
"You know what this reminds me of?" He asked as he picked up a plastic cup and put it into the trash bag.
"What?"
"That time you stayed back and helped me clean up my house after that party where the cops came." He chuckled.
She couldn't help but smile a little at the memory.
"I remember I told you that it would be a great story to tell our grandchildren one day." He reminisced.
"I didn't think we would potentially have the same grandchildren." He chuckled and she couldn't help but smile a little.
"And I remember.. kissing you for the very first time that day. Do you remember?" He continued.
She paused her movement as she remembered the event again. How could she forget? The memory was etched in her mind like a carving to a rock.
"Yeah." She replied, trying hard to erase the memory from her mind. She wasn't going to let nostalgia make her forget that she was angry at him.
"I felt it back then. How perfect it was. How it felt like home." He said gently.
His words were threatening to melt her heart and it was so hard to stay angry at him.
"But, I was still with Stephanie and you were still with Michael. You have no idea how conflicted I was when I knew you broke up with Michael." He chuckled.
Stephanie. The mention of her name returned the anger back into her heart in full force.
She didn't say anything back at him but just continued walking around the front lawn, picking up trash after trash with Sebastian following her like a lost puppy.
"Sweetheart, clearly something is bothering you. Do you want to talk about it?" He asked gently as he reached out and touched her hand. But she jerked her hand back from him and didn't say a thing.
"Well.. whatever it was that I did.. or said.. I'm sorry, sweetheart, I really am." He said as he put his hand on her shoulder but she pulled away and turned her back on him.
She wasn't sure what triggered it, but her chest felt heavy with anger and her whole body ached as swirls of disappointment and anger consumed her heart.
She finally decided to ask him about it.
She turned around and looked up at him. He was looking at her with his eyebrows furrowed full of concern and she could see a slight fear in there.
"Seb, tell me why you're here." She said coldly.
"What? I'm.. I'm here for Starlene's birthday. I want to be here for her.. and for you." He said as he stepped closer to her and placed his right hand on her left cheek.
"Don't lie to me, Seb. Florence told me about it. If it weren't for the writer's strike you wouldn't have been here, would you?" She accused him, staring at him with anger in her eyes.
"Oh honey.. I would have been here too, but.. but maybe two days late." He grimaced.
"I knew it!" She yelled as she took a step back from him and he reluctantly dropped his hand from her cheek.
"Honey, the important thing is that I'm here. I'm here and I came on time for Starlene's birthday." He protested.
"Yeah well that means you still prioritized your job over your family!"
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry but it's Marvel and Harrison Ford we're talking about. I told you I tried to ask for a reschedule but I couldn't. It's a miracle the writer's strike starts today so that I can be here with you. Can't you just focus on that?" He pleaded.
"Seb, you don't get it, do you?" She asked in disbelief. How could he be so thick headed? She thought in frustration.
"Get what, honey?" He asked.
"I just want you to prioritize me or Starlene over your job for just one g*****n time! Is that so hard to do?!"
"Oh sweetheart.. I'm sorry.. I promise.. next time I will prioritize you and Starlene." He said as he took a step closer to her but she was so angry at him that she walked away from him while still picking up trash and throwing them into the trash bag.
"Honey. I'm sorry.." he pleaded as he started to follow her.
"Just leave me alone, Seb." She replied, refusing to look at him.
He sighed. "Okay. I'll be in our room." And with that he slowly turned around, leaving her with her negative thoughts alone.
Ugh! She thought he had changed. She thought he had realized what it was that she needed from him. But he could be so stupid at times!
Yes, she was happy that he managed to come at the right time for Starlene's birthday. But she wished that he had done it by his own will and not because he had no other choice. What was she to him? Just an option he took if there's nothing else available?
His job was still number one for him. There was nothing that could change that for him, she realized. Not even the threat of getting a divorce from her.
Her heart ached as the realization dawned in her. She couldn't help but be reminded again of all the bad things that have been happening to them since the start of their relationship.
As much as she hated to admit it, it really seemed as if they weren't meant to be.
She felt a tear dropped from her eyes.
No, no, Shannon and her mother-in-law were still in the house. She shouldn't cry. She didn't want to make them worry about her or think bad things about her.
So she wiped the tears from her eyes and took a deep breath. She should focus on the task at hand first. Then she would decide on what to do later on.
Just when she was done cleaning the front lawn Sebastian came out and stopped in front of her.
"Honey, I'm going to take mom and Shannon to the hotel. I asked to borrow your dad's car and he gave me his permission." Sebastian said, a slight fear and apprehension still filled his eyes.
"Okay." She nodded.
"I'll be back in like an hour, okay?" He said.
"Yeah. Do whatever you want. Don't bother to come back if you don't want to. Go back to Atlanta or New York if you want, where your jobs are. I don't care." She snapped and she could immediately see the pain her words caused him on his face.
"Sweetheart.. we'll talk later. Okay?" He said while she just stared at him in anger.
He sighed then turned around.
She wasn't sure what had gotten into her. But all she could feel was anger and disappointment at him. All the feelings of love and longing for him were just gone like a puff of smoke.
She tried to bury all the anger she felt as she saw her mother-in-law and Shannon came out from the house and walked towards her.
"Y/n dear, I have to get back to the hotel. My my knees are aching." Sebastian's mother approached her with a grimace on her face.
"Thank you so much for coming Mrs.Frank. And thank you so much for all your help. I hope you'll feel better soon." she smiled at her.
"Oh it's my pleasure, dear. I wouldn't miss my only grandchild's birthday." She said as she embraced her in her arms.
"I'll see you tomorrow, dear." Her mother-in-law said, releasing her hold on her.
"Y/n.. I have to get back to LA tomorrow morning. So, I'll see you when I see you." Shannon said.
"Thank you so much for coming Shannon and for accompanying me the other day." She said as she gave her a hug.
"Oh no problem, Y/n. I had a lot of fun." Shannon smiled as she released herself from her embrace.
Then she watched as they walked away and got into her dad's car with Sebastian already in the driver's seat.
She waved at them as he drove away, feeling a little pang in her heart. Even though she was angry at him she wasn't ready to be separated from him again. Deep in her heart she still missed him. But she couldn't believe that he still didn't change! All the loving words and romance quotes he had conveyed to her meant nothing to her if he didn't come that day because of his own free will.
She sighed as she continued to feel the heaviness of anger in her heart and the ache all over her body.
---
She was lying on the bed an hour later with her right hand slipped underneath the pillow, her eyes fully opened as she stared at the wall. She was contemplating on what to do once Sebastian comes back. She couldn't deny that she still missed him so much but his behavior was unforgivable to her.
She remembered again how in almost all of her romantic relationships her exes always, always chose something or someone else above her. Apparently they left a deep trauma in her heart that she didn't realize she had.
Sebastian was supposed to be the one who finally chose her, who finally prioritized her. And yet, there he was, after only a year, he finally chose something else above her!
What was wrong with her? Was she so worthless that all these men took her for granted and just used her?
The thought hurt her so much and she couldn't help but started to sob.
The door of her room was slowly opened and she could hear gentle footsteps coming into the room.
Sebastian was back, she realized.
She stopped crying and sniffled. She wiped the tears from her eyes and then she felt it. The bed creaked under his weight as he laid on the bed and laid down next to her. She could feel his warm arms around her and his gentle kiss on her temple.
His gesture prompted her to start crying again and she sobbed hard.
"Ssshh.. sweetheart. I'm sorry. I really am. I am the stupidest husband in the world and I'm sorry." He whispered to her ears.
"Ww.. why won't you prioritize me?" She asked in between her sobs.
"Why won't you prioritize Starlene?"
"Oh honey.. I.. I know I have no excuses. I was stupid. I promise you I'll prioritize you both next time."
"Am I so worthless that every f*****g guy I was with chose something or someone else above me? And now you too?" She asked, her voice trembled.
"Honey.. I.. I'm sorry if I make you feel that way. But you're definitely not worthless to me! You're my everything!" He pleaded.
"Words are just words without action, Seb." She responded coldly as she released herself from his embrace and finally turned around.
He stared at her with sadness in his eyes.
"Sweetheart, what can I do to make you see that you.. are.. my everything." He asked as he gently cupped her face between his hands.
She didn't know what came into her. But feeling his warm body so close to hers and staring at his gorgeous face made her forget everything as desire suddenly woke up in her.
She was still angry at him but another side of her wanted him so much, right then and there. She just wanted him to make love to her, make her scream his name into the night and make her heart and body feel whole again after more than a month not being with him.
"Make love to me, Seb. Like I'm the only woman in the world you ever want. Make love to me like I'm the only woman you ever need." She finally said, every syllable that came out of her filled with a desperate need.
His eyes widened and he smiled as desire filled his beautiful eyes.
"Oh sweetheart, you are.. the only.. woman.. I ever want.. and need. No one else.. matters." He said as he kissed her lips gently, once, twice, three times, four times, five times.
And with that he did what he asked her. He made love to her like he had never made love to her before. Every kiss, every caress, every touch to her body was full of love and worship for her as he did what no other man in the world could do to her.
The anger that she somehow still felt for him in her heart heightened her senses and made everything seemed even better. Her disappointment and frustration at him were transmuted so that she was wilder than usual. Which surprised Sebastian.
"Oh honey, this feels so good! Maybe I should make you angry more often." Sebastian commented as they worked together in harmony, trying to reach their peak together.
She slapped his butt playfully and laughed.
"Shut up and just move, mister!" She scolded him and he laughed.
"As you wish, my lady." He smiled and he did just that.
Moments later she felt she was exploding with so much pleasure that she felt like flying. No other feeling was better than this. She thought as she tried to catch her breath, her arms circled around his body as he grunted on top of her.
"I love you so much, my queen." Sebastian finally said breathlessly.
She wasn't sure what got into her but she wasn't able to say it back. The disappointment and anger she felt earlier somehow came back.
"Honey?" Sebastian asked as he seemed to notice that she didn't reply him as quick as she used to.
"I.. I'm sorry, Seb. I'm still angry at you." She said as she pushed him away.
Her heart broke as she saw the pain in his eyes. But she couldn't lie to him. She really was still angry at him. She could feel the heaviness entered her heart again and the ache all over her body. It felt as if the peak his love making gave to her never happened.
He quickly regained his composure and smiled at her.
"Maybe you want a second round?" He asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Oh Seb. I'm tired. Let's just go to sleep." She said as she scooted a little further from him and turned her back on him.
She could hear him sigh and she felt kind of guilty. But she was still angry at him. She wished he had really come because of his own free will. She couldn't deny that this time the disappointment she felt was so deep and she didn't know how to deal with it yet. Everything just seemed wrong.
"Good night, sweetheart. Sweet dreams." He said as she felt his hand touched hers briefly but then he let her go.
"Good night, Seb." She said and she could hear him sigh.
So close and yet so far. That was what she felt between them. After more than a month of being away from him, she thought she would end up sleeping in his arms like she used to. But she couldn't. She couldn't give up and give in to his warm embrace. Not when she was still so emotional.
Feeling tired and exhausted after what she could only think as a day filled with emotional rollercoaster, she finally fell asleep without his arms around her yet again.

La Venta Dr, Poway, California - July 14th 2023 - 7 am
She felt his warm arms surrounding her body before she even opened her eyes. Then she felt his gentle kisses on her temple, cheek, and neck. For a moment she forgot where she was as she enjoyed the sensation and gave in to all the feels his kisses gave her. But then the events of yesterday suddenly came flooding back into her mind and her heart felt heavy with anger and disappointment. She thought she could forget them, she thought she could forgive him in the morning. But she couldn't. Not yet.
She opened her eyes, turned around and pushed him away. She looked up and saw disappointment in his eyes but they quickly cleared and he gave her a loving look.
"Good morning, my love." He smiled.
He didn't dare to touch her again it seemed as he just gazed at her in expectation.
"Morning, Seb." She said coldly then she stood up and went to the adjacent bathroom, leaving him hanging.
She could hear him sigh as she walked away and that made her feel kind of guilty. But then again, his behavior really was unforgivable. She thought stubbornly.
She was hoping that taking a shower would make her feel less angry and annoyed at him. But the moment she stepped out of the bathroom and looked at him - who was sitting on the sofa with Starlene in his arms - she felt the anger and annoyance came back in full force.
"Oh look Starlene, mommy is here." Sebastian said as he looked up at her with a smile on his face. But the moment he saw her expression towards him he stopped smiling.
"Mama.. mama.. " Starlene called out and extended her hands towards her.
She picked Starlene up from his lap and sat down next to him as Starlene started snuggling to her chest, wanting to nurse.
"So.. umm.. as you know, my mom is going back to New York tomorrow. I was thinking that maybe we can take her sight seeing today, see what Poway has to offer." Sebastian said slowly as she opened the front of her clothes and let Starlene nurse.
"Okay." She responded.
"Where do you think we should go, honey?" He asked.
"Lake Poway is a must. There's also Potato Chip Rock. But that's not a good place to go for the elderly or young children as it takes an eight mile hike to reach. So I guess Lake Poway is the only option." She replied.
"Well.. Lake Poway it is." He said, trying to sound cheerful about it. But she knew he was just testing the waters to see whether she was still angry at him.
She just nodded then looked down at Starlene, stroking her cheek gently, avoiding his gaze. She could still feel the anger and disappointment in her heart and she just didn't want to see his face for some reason. Seeing him annoyed her greatly. Something she didn't think she would ever feel towards him.
"Sweetheart.. I.. umm.. I want to apologize again about.. about yesterday." He stammered.
"Uh huh."
"I.. I hope you know that you are the love of my life and there's no one else in the world that I love more than you." He said as he reached out and pulled her free hand up and started kissing her knuckles.
"Yeah. But there's something you love more than me. Your job." She responded with venom as she pulled her hand back from his.
"Oh honey. I.. I thought you understand. Acting is not just a job for me. It's my life calling.. it's.. it's like journalism for you. Like being a bookworm for you. It's not a competition for my love for you. My heart belongs only to you and no one else." He pleaded.
"Yet you sacrificed our honeymoon for it." She snapped.
"I'm sorry, honey. How many times do I have to say this? I'm sorry." He pleaded but she noticed that his tone was somewhat annoyed.
"As many times as needed. Everyday if you have to." She snickered.
"Everything that I have done meant nothing to you huh?" He asked, disappointment clear in his voice.
"Well, like I said. Words mean nothing without action, Seb." She snapped yet again.
"What kind of action do you want!? I sang for you! Did you know how long it took for me to practice singing those songs? I bought you and your family many things that you and your family want. And.. and.. did you know how long it took for me to compile all those quotes and get those books? Did you know the amount of effort it took for me to get you tickets for that David Cook concert? Aren't those actions enough for you?!" He protested.
She felt kind of guilty listening to him saying all those things. But on the other hand she was also annoyed that he still didn't get the message.
"Seb.. I didn't ask for you to sing for me. I didn't ask you to buy my family anything. I didn't ask you to buy me flowers or books or send me on a me-time trip. All I asked was for you to prioritize me and Starlene instead of your job, at least just once! I just wanted you to come to Starlene's birthday and prioritize your family for once. Is that so wrong?!" Her voice shook.
"But I came! I even came as Elmo!"
"I didn't ask you to come as Elmo! I wanted you to come because of your own free will and not because you have no other option!" She yelled.
Starlene stopped nursing and started to cry listening to her angry shout.
"Ssshhh.. Starlene. It's okay, I wasn't angry at you." She said as she started to rock Starlene back and forth.
Sebastian stayed quiet as she tried to soothe Starlene. Too quiet for her liking. She wondered what was on his mind.
"I'm gonna go out and prepare some breakfast." He finally said. He stood up and left the room without looking at her.
She sighed. Great. Now he was angry at her it seemed. Fine. If he wanted to be angry at her then she accepted it. She herself was still angry at him. So be it. She thought in annoyance.
For the rest of the day they barely talked to each other. Even though they all went to Lake Poway to have a picnic that day with her mother-in-law, her father and her stepmom, but somehow they managed not to talk much to each other.
That night they slept side by side but with their backs on each other, neither of them willing to stand down and make peace.
She silently cried as she faced the wall. She never felt more lonely in her life. She considered offering peace first to him. But, if she backed down now she was afraid that he wouldn't get the message and would still prioritize his acting job in the future. So, as much as she wanted to make peace with him, she stayed quiet. She wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to go to sleep.
She could hear him snoring softly behind her. That made her angry again. She thought he would have trouble sleeping like her, yet there he was, sleeping like a baby as if nothing was wrong between them.
Fine. If he could ignore the fight between them and peacefully go to sleep then she can too. She thought in anger.
Unfortunately it took a while but she finally fell asleep, still with the heaviness in her heart and the aches all over her body.

La Venta Dr, Poway, California - July 15th 2023 - 8am
She opened her eyes and turned her body to the left, letting her back laid fully down on the bed. She grimaced as her stiff body adjusted to the new position. She glanced to her left, expecting to find Sebastian still sleeping next to her but he wasn't there.
Her heart dropped to her stomach as she saw the empty space next to her. She couldn't believe he would just leave without saying goodbye.
Her mind started to go into panic mode. What if he really left without saying goodbye? As much as she was angry at him, she would still be devastated if he left just like that.
Her mind was in turmoil when she heard the sound of the flush from the toilet.
She released the breath she didn't realize she was holding as she found out that Sebastian must be in the bathroom.
She turned to her right again, pretending to still be asleep as her heart pounded hard in her chest, wondering what Sebastian was going to do.
Moments later she heard the bathroom door being opened then she could hear his light footsteps on the floor. Then she felt the bed creak as he sat on the bed.
"Y/n.. wake up." He said, shaking her body gently.
He didn't even call her with sweetheart or honey like he used to, she thought sadly. He must still be angry at her.
She turned around slowly and opened her eyes. She found him looking at her, his face stone like, unreadable to her.
"Hmm.." she mumbled, pretending that she just woke up.
"I.. I'm going back to New York with my mom today. I feel I need to accompany her. You know she has some problems with her knees. I think it's best that I come with her." He said.
"Oh.. okay." She said as she sat up. Her heart pounded hard in her chest as she digested the information he gave her. He really was leaving her. Her heart broke as she realized what she had done to their relationship. Maybe she should forgive him.
"You can come with us if you want. But if not then that's okay. I'll come back in a few days." He said.
Well, he was coming back in a few days. No need to give up so soon. She quickly changed her mind.
"Seb, I'm sorry but think I need to stay here for a little while." She responded.
For a second she felt like she saw pain in his eyes. But then they cleared and his eyes betrayed nothing.
"Okay. Then I'll come back in a few days. Unless.. unless you don't want me to?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.
"It's up to you." She replied and he just nodded in response.
Then he stood up and left the room, leaving her feeling a great turmoil in her heart.
On the one hand she wanted to come with him and go back to their home. Even though she was comfortable in Poway, New York was still her home. But on the other hand she was still kind of angry at him and still wanted to see whether he understood what she wanted from him.
As much as she loved him, she needed him to prioritize her and Starlene. No amount of romantic gesture was enough for her if he didn't prioritize his family over his job. He should realize that.
Armed with that thought in her mind, she stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. She still felt the anger and disappointment in her heart and feeling the aches all over her body. She hoped taking a shower would help make the feelings go away.
---
The day went by so fast and before she knew it, it was time for Sebastian and his mother to leave. They were standing on the front porch saying their goodbye as a taxi waited to take Sebastian and his mother to San Diego airport. She carried Starlene in her arms as she stood. Her eyes studied his carefully but his eyes betrayed nothing. He still had the cold statue like expression on his face and that made her sad.
"I'll see you in a few days." Sebastian said as he gave her a brief hug. Then he leaned down and kissed Starlene's forehead.
"Dada.." Starlene said, extending her hand towards him.
"Yes, Starlene dear. I'm sorry I have to go again. But if your mommy wanted to you could have come with me. Unfortunately she still doesn't want to come. So, be a good girl and I'll see you soon, okay?" Sebastian said and he gave her more kisses, on both her cheeks this time.
She sighed as she listened to him. He was still annoyed at her and she was too at him.
He avoided looking at her and stepped back to allow his mother to talk to her.
His mother gave her a warm and long hug as she whispered some words into her ear.
"Please don't be so hard on him. He loves you so much despite everything."
She felt her eyes prickling at her words but she shouldn't cry. If she cried it would change things and she might just end up following him, which she doesn't want to do just yet.
"I'm sorry Mrs.Frank." she whispered back.
"Come back to New York soon, dear." She said as she released her from her embrace.
"I.. I will." She nodded as his mother placed her hand on the side of her face and smiled at her.
"Starlene dear, grandma is going to miss you." His mother said, dropping her hand from her face and leaned close to Starlene. Then she gave Starlene a noisy kiss on her cheek.
"Ma.. ma.." Starlene said, putting her hand on her grandmother's cheek.
"Yes, grandma, I'm your grandma." She smiled as she pinched Starlene's cheek gently.
"Next time I see you I think you'll be able to call me properly." His mother said.
"I'm sure she will." She smiled.
And with that his mother turned around and they soon left in the taxi, leaving her feeling hollow inside.
She watched as the taxi took a right turn on the intersection not far from her father's house and was finally gone from her sight.
For the rest of the day she continued to feel the hollow feeling in her chest, like something wasn't right. Deep in her heart she knew she was supposed to have come with him. But her pride and ego got in the way. She still couldn't forgive him for what he had done despite all the romantic gestures he had done for her. She hoped he eventually understood what she wanted and next time there was a conflict between his job or his family he could choose the correct one.
She was washing the dishes that night after dinner when her father approached her.
"Y/n dear.. I'm sorry but, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked.
"Yeah sure dad." She nodded as she cleaned a plate with a sponge.
"I couldn't help but notice that you're still angry at Sebastian." He started.
"Uh huh." She responded.
"Do you mind telling me why?"
She sighed and quickly rinsed the plate in her hand with some water then put it on a drying rack.
"Well, he still didn't prioritize me or Starlene, dad. The reason he could come to Starlene's birthday was because there was a writer's strike so that production on Thunderbolts was halted. He came because he didn't have a choice and not because he wanted to." She said bitterly as she wiped her hand with a cloth.
"Oh Y/n dear.. I know that must be disappointing for you. But, I saw the effort he had done trying to win your heart back and what he had done was nothing short of amazing! I've never seen someone so dedicated like that." His father gushed.
"But I didn't ask him to do all those things, dad! I just wanted him to prioritize me or Starlene over his job, just once! And he still wouldn't do it!" She said, throwing the cloth in her hand onto the kitchen table in frustration.
"Y/n dear, I'm sure he had tried his best to reschedule but he's working with Marvel. I mean, that's a whole different beast. You should understand that."
"I.. I know. I just.. I don't know why, but I just feel so hurt and betrayed."
She walked away from the sink and took a nearby chair by the dining table. Her father followed her and sat in front of her.
"I'm sure you do. But personally, after seeing all the things he had done for you, I think it's best that you forgive him and move on. It's not good holding on to a grudge like this for far too long. Especially to your own husband."
"I.. I know, dad. But I don't know, part of me is still unsure about us. He lives such a different life from me with all the traveling around the world to shoot movies and stuff. I.. I sometimes still feel jealous of his co-stars. As much as I hate to admit it."
"Oh Y/n, after what he had done for you I think you have nothing to worry about. I mean, he has like four gorgeous female co-stars in Thunderbolts but the only woman he has eyes for is you. I could clearly see it during Starlene's birthday."
"Really, dad?" She asked, her face reddened a little.
"Yes, really. I'm a man, dear, and sometimes when you're a man and surrounded with beautiful women you can't help but.. how do I say this.. admire them. You know. But throughout the birthday party his eyes almost never left you."
Her heart swelled a little as she heard what her father had to say. But then her stubborn mind took over again.
"But if he feels that way about me, why wouldn't he prioritize me?" She said with a frown on her face.
"His job is always number one for him, dad. I mean, the only time he prioritized me was when I was sick with covid and pregnant with Starlene. Do I need to get into an accident or something to finally get him to prioritize me again?!" She said in frustration.
"Oh dear, please don't say that. I'm sure next time he will prioritize you and Starlene."
She sighed. "I hope so too, Dad. I.. I just can't stop thinking that maybe.. maybe we're just not meant to be together."
"Oh, what makes you think like that, dear?" Her father asked, his eyebrows raised.
"If I look back towards the start of our relationship, I realized that we started off with a rocky start. The whole PR relationship with Ana, then me getting covid, Ana trying to kill us, then the whole fiasco that happened during our wedding. And I've told you everything that had happened during our honeymoon. It's like our relationship is a symbol of bad luck or something."
"Oh Y/n dear, there is no such thing."
"I thought so too, dad. But then, I saw him in his suit before the wedding! We also got married on a Saturday! And then.. his mother gave me a bracelet to wear during the wedding which supposed to symbolize good luck. But her own first marriage fell apart. I just can't help but feel that maybe we'll end up like his mom and his dad." She rambled. Her eyes started to prickle at the painful thought.
"Y/n dear, let me tell you a story that might change your mind." Her father smiled.
"Oh. What story, dad?" She asked as she blinked several times trying to stop herself from crying.
"Forty two years ago I was at Christ Church New Brunswick about to be married to your mother. I was in my dressing room, already in a complete suit. The ceremony was going to happen in half an hour but I got the sudden urge to go to the bathroom." He said.
"Oh okay." She nodded, intrigued.
"I didn't know where the bathroom was. My best man, Jeff, was useless as he didn't know his way around the church either. So I wandered around trying to find the bathroom and I opened one door and.. there she was.. your mother, standing in the middle of the room, looking so beautiful and ethereal in her white dress. I felt like looking at an angel." Her father said and he sniffled. She couldn't help but feeling like she was going to start crying too.
"Anyway, she smiled as she saw me but her bridesmaids and your grandmother quickly closed the door so I couldn't see her again. Your grandmother was so angry at me and even after months of being married to your mother she still mentioned the incident and kept reminding us of the possibility of our marriage falling apart. We understood where she was coming from but we were so in love and we felt like it would never happen. Until we experienced our first big fight. I don't even remember what triggered it. But your mother was so emotional for days and I felt like nothing I did to her was right. She kept getting angry at me over small things and crying for no reason at all. I felt like going insane myself and thought that the superstitions were true. Our marriage was falling apart." He sighed as the memory seemed to affect him.
"What happened then, dad?" She asked curiously.
"Well, it turned out your mother was pregnant with you." He smiled and put his hand on the side of her face gently.
"Oh dad." She could only say as tears fell from both their eyes.
"She was so emotional because she was having mood swings from the pregnancy." He chuckled, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Oh, right." She said, wiping the tears from her eyes too.
Suddenly something seemed to click in her mind. She also felt so emotional for the past couple of days. She thought it was because she really was angry at him. After all, she had a perfectly valid reason to be angry at him. But then again, when she thought about it, her reactions had been too much at times. Could it be that she was pregnant?
Her mind silently calculated and she realized that she had skipped a period. She should have gotten it a month ago but it didn't show! She thought it was just her hormones who were still going out of whack because she was still nursing Starlene. But apparently a pregnancy could explain the absence of her period too.
"Well my dear, you know very well that our marriage stood the test of time until her last breath. So, I beg you not to believe in superstitions. You and Sebastian are meant to be together. Trust me." He said as he stared at her with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Thanks dad. Thank you so much for the story. And umm.. I just realize that.. I might be pregnant too.. " she said sheepishly.
"Oh my God, that's so amazing, dear!" He exclaimed excitedly.
"I know, dad." She smiled. "I need to get a pregnancy test."
"Well, let me drive you to the drug store downtown. They're open 24 hours. You should be able to get some there." Her father said.
"Okay, thank you so much, dad." She smiled.
He leaned closer to her and kissed her forehead then hugged her tight.
"Everything is going to be okay my dear." He said as he rubbed her back gently.
"Thank you so much dad." She closed her eyes and in her father's embrace she finally felt like everything made sense. There was no need to believe in superstitions anymore. She and Sebastian were meant to be together. And even though he might be so thick headed at times, she knew how much he loved her. She should focus on that and stop being angry at him. And now the most important thing that she should do was to get that pregnancy test.
"Okay, let's go dear and find out if I'm going to be a grandpa again." He said as he released her from his embrace.
She smiled and they stood up. Her heart pounded hard in her chest as the potential of being pregnant again became the only thing in her mind.
---
An hour later she sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at two pregnancy tests she had peed on minutes before. Her father and stepmom sat next to her with her in the middle. Both of them held her hands tight.
Her heart pounded so hard in her chest as she stared at the small windows on the tests that would show the result of the test. Slowly but surely she could see two red lines in the result window of both tests.
Her heart soared as she saw the results and she felt tears streaming down her face as she was hugged tightly by her father and stepmom.
"Congratulations my dear." Her father said, squeezing her body tight.
"Thank you, dad." She sniffled.
"Congratulations dear. So happy that I'm going to be a grandma again!" Diane said as she took turns to give her a tight hug.
"Thank you, Diane." She smiled as tears continued to stream down her face.
She couldn't believe that she was pregnant again! She was going to be a mother again! The thought made her feel both, happy and scared.
"You should tell Sebastian immediately." Her father advised.
"Uh.. yeah. I want to let him know in person." She smiled as she wiped the tears in her eyes.
"Oh, you're going back to New York?" Her father asked.
"Yes, as soon as I can." She nodded.
"Oh I'm so happy to hear that my dear. He's going to be so ecstatic about it." Her father smiled.
"I'm sure he will." She smiled.
Unfortunately going back to New York wasn't as simple as she had thought. All of the flights from San Diego to New York for the next two days had been fully booked. So she was forced to book a flight that would leave in three days.
She wanted to tell him as soon as possible about her pregnancy. But she had no other choice other than to wait. She didn't want to tell him over the phone. She wanted to surprise him. She wanted it to be a whole event because she didn't get the same chance when she was pregnant with Starlene. He found out from someone else and she didn't want that to happen again.
Planning the surprise for him meant that she needed to make sure he wasn't going to come back to Poway before her scheduled flight. Luck was on her side this time because it turned out he had a meeting with Steven Spielberg and Ric Flair. The meeting was scheduled to happen the next week in New York, so her plans to surprise him could still be done, much to her relief.
Her father and stepmom had advised her to go to the gynecologist to confirm her pregnancy, especially since there were some issues with her first pregnancy, but she refused. She wanted to go with Sebastian. He missed the first five months of her pregnancy with Starlene, so this time she wanted to involve him since the very beginning.
Since she had several days to prepare, she decided to do something special to break the news to him. She bought a T-shirt that said "I'm gonna be a mom again". She also bought a T-shirt for Starlene that said "I'm gonna be a big sister". She planned on wearing the T-shirt and have Starlene wear hers so that he could see them when he opened the door of their home. She of course bought him a matching T-shirt that said "I'm gonna be a dad again". She also kept the two pregnancy tests and decided to put them into a special frame.
Despite feeling happy about her pregnancy she also felt kind of sad. Ever since he left with his mother he had not called her at all. He just texted her saying he had arrived in New York safely. After that he just texted her daily but in his messages he just asked how Starlene and her father was. He didn't ask about her at all. He didn't say the usual I love you or I miss you.
She couldn't deny that his behavior towards her broke her heart. He was still angry at her and it frustrated her. But she didn't want to apologize to him yet. She wanted to surprise him and apologize to him in person. She had even prepared a whole speech for him in which she took out some words and quotes from the books he had sent her.
Even though Sebastian clearly prioritized his job over her again, this time she didn't mind. But she of course didn't show it to Sebastian. She pretended to still be angry at him about it and that seemed to make him even angrier that the messages he sent to her became less and less everyday.
Under normal circumstances she would have been devastated at how he had behaved towards her. But knowing that she had an amazing news to share with him kept her going. She also realized with two babies to take care of she needed to take care of herself especially her mental health. So she took some time to meditate everyday before she went and do her daily activities. It seemed to really help her get through each day, especially in keeping her emotions in check.
The days until her scheduled flight to New York seemed to go by in a snail's pace. She couldn't wait to go. She couldn't wait to break the news to him and see his reaction to it. And the day finally came.
She stepped out of the New York JFK airport around 3 in the afternoon, carrying Starlene in a baby carrier in front of her. Her right hand pulled her suitcase, her left hand carried Starlene's diaper bag while her handbag hung around her right shoulder.
She hailed a taxi and thankfully it didn't take long for her to get one. The driver helped put her suitcase in the trunk then she hopped into the taxi with Starlene still in her arms.
She looked out the window as the taxi left the curb and they entered the highway. Soon she could see the tall buildings and skyscrapers dotting the New York skyline. Home. She was finally home.
Her heart pounded hard in her chest as she recited again in her mind the apology speech she was going to say to him. She decided to tell him about the pregnancy afterwards. So she had put on a cardigan to cover the T-shirt she was wearing and she put one on Starlene too.
Her mind continued to run through the scenario that she had planned. She couldn't help but smile as she thought of how he would react. She expected nothing less than him picking her up from the floor, carrying her in a circle and then put her down on the floor again only to give her the most heartfelt and passionate kiss ever.
She glanced at her watch and it was almost 4 in the afternoon when the taxi finally drove into Soho where their apartment was located.
She hoped he was home. She really wanted to surprise him so she didn't contact him at all that day. Well, even if he wasn't home she did have the keys to their apartment. If he wasn't home she could probably give him a better surprise. She even thought of ordering some pizza from Rubirosa to celebrate.
The taxi finally pulled up in front of their apartment. She stepped out of the taxi with her heart racing wildly in her chest.
This is it. She thought as she stood on the sidewalk with Starlene safe in her carrier in front of her and all her belongings safe next to her.
She took a deep breath and entered the apartment. Their unit was on the third floor so she took the elevator to get there.
For the first time ever she noticed that the elevator was moving rather slowly. She clicked her tongue impatiently as the elevator ascended, taking her closer to the love of her life.
Finally the elevator stopped and she heard the usual ding as it stopped. She stepped out and turned right to where their unit was located.
The door of their unit was curiously opened a little. Signifying that he was home. Her heart did somersaults in her chest as she continued to approach the door.
She slowly pushed the door open and smiled wide as she saw him standing in the middle of the living room. But her smile changed quickly and her jaw dropped as she saw the scene in front of her.
Sebastian was hugging a woman. A woman with long blonde hair.
Stephanie. He was hugging Stephanie!?
She felt her heart crushed and destroyed into pieces as she registered the sight in front of her. Everything seemed to go by in slow motion as Sebastian saw her and released Stephanie from his embrace.
"Y/n!" He exclaimed out loud.
No! This couldn't be happening! She spent all this time worrying how he was still angry at her, planning to apologize to him and bring him the news of their second child, but all this time he had been with Stephanie?!
She felt tears streaming down her face as she quickly turned around and ran back towards the elevator, leaving all her belongings behind and only carrying Starlene and her handbag with her.
"Y/n! Wait! Please stop!" Sebastian shouted after her but she ignored him.
She couldn't look at him. No, she couldn't deal with him now. The anguish was too great. The pain in her heart was so unbearable. The only thing she needed was to get away from him. So she continued to run.
She knew the elevator was going to arrive slowly. So she went to the stairs and ran down towards the ground floor with Sebastian still hot on her heels.
"Honey, please stop! I can explain!" He pleaded as they continued to run down the stairs.
"Get away from me Seb! Leave me alone!" She yelled as they finally arrived on the ground floor and she pushed the door of the entrance to their apartment with a bang.
Somehow the taxi that she took to get from the airport to their apartment was still there. So she quickly opened the door, got inside and slammed the door shut.
As soon as she was in she jumped in surprise as Sebastian banged the door of the taxi repeatedly.
"Y/n, please don't go! I can explain! Please! It's not as bad as it seems!" He shouted. His face looked at hers from behind the window, panic and anxiety in his eyes.
She shook her head as tears continued to stream down her cheek, blurring her vision. She locked the door and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Y/n! Please! Open the door! Please!" He continued to beg but in her mind there was no going back. This was it. Their marriage was over. Somehow she was going to end up being a single mother to two children. Something she never thought she would experience.
She never thought Sebastian was that kind of person. She never thought he had the heart to hurt and betray her like this. But then he was just human. She should have known that true love doesn't exist, soulmates don't exist, and that in the end all everyone could think about was their own happiness.
All the loving words he had conveyed to her were just words. The songs he had sang to her were just songs. And the flowers he had thoughtfully given to her were nothing but just flowers. All of them meant nothing. All of them symbolized lies. Lies that she had bought hook, line and sinker.
Her initial feeling that they weren't meant to be was right. And the superstitions were true. Their marriage ended up falling apart. Despite the story her father had told her, her own marriage was still falling apart. She felt numb inside as the realization hit her.
"Excuse me ma'am? Where would you like to go?" The taxi driver turned around and asked, snapping her out of the depths of misery in her mind.
"Oh. Airport please, JFK." She said. The taxi driver nodded.
"Y/n! Please! Open the door and let me in!" Sebastian continued to beg as he tried desperately to open the door.
She turned to face him again and just shook her head. She could see tears started to fall from his eyes. The sight broke her heart and a tear fell from her eyes too.
"Y/n!" He called out to her one last time as the taxi driver pulled away from the curb and quickly left him standing alone.
But she underestimated what he could do when he was pushed. He continued to chase her down the street and banged the door of the taxi.
"Stop! Y/n, please!" He continued to shout while running next to the taxi.
"Ma'am?" The taxi driver asked as he slowed the taxi down.
"Just go quickly, please." She instructed as she ripped her gaze away from him and the taxi driver nodded.
The taxi driver stepped on the gas as they reached an intersection with Sebastian somehow still running by their side.
"Y/n! Stop! Please!" He continued to run following her and the taxi but the taxi became too fast for him to follow that he ended up running behind them.
She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Sebastian still running fast chasing them.
It all seemed to happen really fast but one second she saw him through the rearview mirror still running behind them and the next second she heard the sound of a loud bang, the screech of tires on the street and he was gone from her sight.
