Sebastian escorted both of us into his penthouse. My inside was bubbling with both eager and uncertainty. What if he was not as much into me as I was feeling for him? Doing a one night stand was never in my bucket list but now that I was here with him so yeah fuck the uncertainty. I should definitely go for it.
With a dazzling flash, Sebastian flipped the switch, and the lights turned on.
I followed my eyes through the area, taking in all of the splendour of his home.
Oh my god!
It was breathtaking.
His place was enormous to be exact.
This individual, of course, resides in a penthouse.
I’m not sure what I was expecting. Perhaps a standard hotel room like mine?
Sebastian was looking at me like I was the last scoop of his ice cream. His thirst for me was insatiable. The moment he put his lips on mine I realised that it
I went back to my apartment in Boston. This was it, my comfort zone and my safe space. I was here, but I feel like my heart is not here. Physically I was present but mentally and emotionally I was still in my dream vacation mode. I was having Sebastian withdrawal syndromes and damn it, what is it about him? I spent One night with him and now he has made me addicted to him. Are you feeling the same Sebastian? Do you miss me too? So many questions were swarming in my mind but I didn't have any answer to those, I mean how could I when I left you in there and a part of me.
Three months have passed since I arrived from my vacation. Life was going as usual and there was nothing interesting to be exact. Except today. I won't call today as interesting to be honest. I wasn't excited but terrified. My inside started churning with every step I took towards the Office of CEO, Rebstorn designs. Without even knocking, I pushed the door open and strode towards the woman sitting behind the desk with a resting bitch face. “Mom, please tell me you are just kidding.” I huffed out the words in frustration, slamming my palms on the sleek desk through the process. I couldn’t believe this. Was I getting tricked? “No, Tina I am not.” Rebecca Josephine Kingston, also known as my mother, declared, keeping her calmness intact. “Mom, why are you doing this to me?”
Five days before : It was a rainy Boston Thursday. While the droplets were drizzling outside, I was relaxing comfortably snuggled inside my blanket, totally chilling out with my favourite series through my laptop. I was almost to the clinax part of the season, when the buzz of my phone, made me pause the series.Ugh who's calling me at this moment? It was my sister Jess, of course trying to annoy me. "Tina please be a darling and tag along with mom and Ryan for the meeting with Mr Anderson". Jessica's face hollered from the other line. What! no hello no greetings! "Sister, you know that I love you, but I don't do business meetings". I deadpanned To be honest I don't do business! (although I have majored with a business degree) "Tina mom said she wants you there, I worked so hard for this hotel, and I want you to see m
All right, folks, D-day was finally here. No matter how much I didn’t want to, I still have to be there for my family. Jessica and Mom really worked very hard regarding this project, and I have to be there with them in their finest moments. I thought I was being selfish, only relying upon my convenience and letting my comfort zone get the worst out of me. I finally made my decision and so here it was, finally sitting on the flight and heading towards New York City. What could possibly go wrong in one night anyway, Right? Well, If I only knew. Almost all the Kingston family members, along with Tiffany and Andrew, except my favourite Nana, were here for the grand event. Tiffany’s Dad, being a Hollywood hall of fame superstar, was also invited as well and so were Andrew’s parents, who were business partners with
If I said I was awestruck only by the outside sculpture of the hotel, then let me correct that now, in case you are wondering, then let me disclose, I was totally mesmerised by the inner architecture and magnificent decor as well. Jessica this time has really done an amazing job with the interiors of the hotel on behalf of Rebstorn Designs. What grabbed my attention for a period longer than necessary were the abstract murals caressing majestically the creamy golden walls. Even though I was not a professional artist, I have always loved painting. It was a hobby of mine. You could say it’s my escape from reality. Deep down I knew I wanted to keep my feelings locked inside my arts and to myself, afraid of the judgment of the world out
Sebastian. Handsome than any Greek God and hotter than hell, the man for whom I have been crushing on for three months. Thanks to Steve, at least now I know his last name. His aqua blue eyes skimmed across the room, making my heart sped with every passing second in anticipation. Not long before they directly landed on me. Hi Deja vu, meet Christina. Shit! What should I do! Should I look away? I asked myself. You know you can't, Tina! Don't worry, he won't recognise you, must have forgotten about you. The internal conflict between me and my inner thoughts vanished the moment I spotted his surprised blue eyes submerged in heat and lust. The smirk that Sebastian directed towards me was enough to let me know that he remembered. Oh, God! What sort of game are you planning to play with
Tiffany started up this mess, keeping me in the centre. “What the hell are you doing, Tiffany?” I tried to communicate with my best friend with eye contact and scowling face, but she was beyond ecstatic. This could have been more interesting if it wasn’t just me being her object of mockery. Well, technically, she was not wrong. Andrew was indeed my date for tonight but we all, including my close ones, knew Andrew and I are a big NO-NO. But Sebastian doesn’t! I mean, how could he? And I guess that undesirable information somehow toned down Sebastian’s playful gaze, which he was showering upon me before. His gaze was now something dark, primal, and kind of dangerous. Alright someone please get me a glass
I looked to my side and saw a beautiful, Hollywood kind of beautiful redhead staring at Sebastian with utter fondness, but then she averted her gaze towards me and her facial expression shifted to annoyance. Was she irritated? Yes. Livid? Absolutely yes. Afterwards, she gave me one of her dazzling, painfully forceful smile. “Hi, I am Svetlana. If you would excuse us, I would like to have a dance with my boyfriend.” She spoke the words confidently out loud with her venom laced voice. Svetlana. Even her name sounded beautiful. But wait, that's not the point, she said she wants to dance with her boyfriend. As in with Sebastian. As in, Sebastian was her boyfriend! Holy fucking shit! For a moment I felt like everything around me was starting to cease at this moment. It felt like I was going to be blacked out. The realisation of what I had been doing wi
