Lorraine sat at the bed defeatedly, staring into nothingness as tears welled up in her eyes, her throat burning with emotions...and also for the sentence she was going to say next. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, her eyes boring into the fire burning in the fireplace.
But the heat was nothing compared to what Sebastian's body was radiating beside her. It was something so entirely bizarre. There were just too many emotions and she couldn't now, she just couldn't. She had had enough.
"I love you, Sebastian." She breathed out so defeatedly, shaking her head as the sudden rush of fear rippled through her. "I've always had, you've made me feel things I thought were never possible if not acting in a movie."
Sebastian's head didn't snap towards her, instead, a tear dropped from his eye, staring into the same fire as hers.
"I tried to avoid it so much but it still happened. But if I have to choose between
Lorraine was not usually a pessimist. But she couldn't help but make the worst possibility in her mind when it came to officially meeting the Phoenix brothers. They had talked through video calls many times, she was well aware with their names and all. It was just the fact that she had practically ruined everything for them with her ego. They didn't deserve to go through the criticism they went through because of the mess Sebastian and Lorraine created. Yet, when she met them, there was no sign of bare hate towards her. They were just as warm, just as radiant. Even though the littlest one was a little cocky, there was no sign of guilt trip in their conversation and it made Lorraine feel even more bad than what she was feeling already.
If ever Lorraine wanted to wake up and see someone's face the first thing in the morning, it'll be his. Sebastian was the most endearing and selfless person she had ever met. A sweetness that was too much for his own good. Right now cladded into the thick blanket, veiled by a deep slumber, torn away from the real world. All Lorraine could think while looking at him was that he needed rest, he needed a break from all of this. He had done nothing to have been attacked the way they were last night. Even while asleep, Sebastian's hand was wrapped tight around her form, like he needed to feel she was beside him to calm his rushing mind and be asleep. It made her chest clench achingly. Her hand reached out to trace a finger down the bridge of his nose, brushing back the hair that fell on
It hadn't been on Lorraine's list to go.Her initial plan had been to send the brothers to her island for a long vacation away from her. Not with her. Because she thought they had had enough of her troubles for a run in.But then as soon as she had noted Sebastian that she'd be going back to LA he had immediately refused to go to the island in Bahamas without her. She had been stuck because she really needed to go back to LA, clear up her mess, apologize to her cast and crew for being so unpunctual and atleast give a few scene takes before going to the island. Because after the vacation, both of them will be up their necks with work and wouldn't find the time to be with eachother.So she had agreed, but she'll be coming late because of her work in LA. When she went back to LA though, things narrowed down to her own friends. Matt, Ivey, and Ana. They hadn't shut up with the questions, which she had gingerly answere
Serenity had never felt so close before. Like this, sitting beside Sebastian on a beach, the waves of the sea kissed her toes and went back again and again. The soft noise of it numbing her senses like a whoosh of magic. It was evening now, the sky a blend of pink and orange. The sun almost settled. It was all the more drawing her towards this calming bliss because Sebastian was sitting beside her, and that itself made all the things so much different. She felt oddly connected to him, and she tried to pin point an explanation for it but she didn't get any. Maybe they'd just come a long way. The rest of her friends were either inside the villa or playing volleyball a little away from where the both of them were sitting. She had many reasons to be happy to
Something was different about tonight. Right now, while sitting silently on the beach, Sebastian behind her and holding her close to his chest. A crescent moon stared back at them, majestically reflecting it's light on the end of the ocean, she felt overwhelmed for some reason. In a good way. All while their journey, Lorraine had felt so much for Sebastian. From liking him to her feelings turning into a self destructive wreckage, but there had always been a toxicity at the pit of her stomach that was now lifted. It left her completely bare and somehow... It wasn't frightening. It wasn't natural, not yet, but it was something new and it gave her a rush. "It was...very thoughtful of you to
People usually killed to have a glimpse of Lorraine Acker. Meeting her was a dream come true for millions of people all around the world. Only a few ever got to fulfill said dream. But for Sebastian she was a daydream, his daydream.And when he said that, he didn't mean that he fantasized about her day and night. It meant that when she laid under the white covers with him, glowing gold, with her soft bangs kissing featherly on her forehead, her champagne eyes a tone lighter out of happiness, he felt like he was fucking dreaming. A dream where he could feel his heart pulling towards her, entangling in a raw connection with her own.She was gorgeous. She was his gorgeous.He wouldn't be surprised if he'd get it into his routine to cry every morning because he saw her as the first thing.For Lorraine, the way Sebastian held her waist and pulled her onto his lap was something else. It was the
The rest of the day passed surprisingly nicely for Lorraine. It was time to relax so most people were lounging on the couch while some were playing outside.During sunset, Sebastian took her to the beach again and watched it with his fingers tangled with her own. She loved it when he smiled the way he did. With his eyes closed as to let the warm breeze caress his sunburnt cheeks.She felt connected to him. Every time she looked at him, her heart pulled strings.Then night settled in and her group of friends perched by the bonfire, roasting marshmallows and having the time of their lives. Her ears filled with their overlapping laughter, Sebastian sitting beside her and snickering at something Ivey had said.Lorraine was talking to Yoongi about production. The rapper had said that he wanted to try movie production in Hollywood so she had offered to talk to some directors for him.She looked
1 month later...Lorraine waited for the other line to pick up her call, being held up after a few rings."Hello?" The personal on the other line spoke. She put the call on speaker, throwing it on the couch and starting the wear her boots."Hey, Felix.""Yes?""Hey, It's about your business. I got a call from a director, Bill Davenport. He's offering me a movie so I asked who's the production, he took a few names and I slipped yours in too.""Did you really?" He asked in awe."Mhm,""Oh okay, so what am I supposed to do?" He sounded restless all of a sudden."Yeah, I'm gonna meet him today. So you can come with me and have a chat, I'll take my script along the way too.""Okay, what time?"
