It had been a couple hours later and finally my parents decided it was time to leave. For once in my life, I was excited to get into a car with my parents. But my mom stopped me. "Where do you think you're going?" She asks, an unamused look on her face. I look at her blankly, "What do you mean? I'm...going to the car." I say, unsure.
She scoffs, "Sebastian has a car and he has to drive all by himself, why don't you go with him?"
My mom pushes me towards his car. I still don't know how she does it, with her 12-inch heels. "Oh, Ms. Hargrove, I'm fine. She really doesn't have to." says Sebastian, but my mom refused to listen.
"Nonsense! I'm sure you could use the company!" She says, laughing as she did.
Sebastian and I share a look. I stifle my frustrate groan, and he rolls his eyes. I look away, and suddenly a chill runs down my spine. It was unbelievably cold out, and my dress was sleeveless. "Come on, K." He says, wrapping an arm around me, he takes off his jacket and slings it over my arms. I wouldn't admit it, but it did help ALOT. My mom squeals happily at us 'getting along' and she waves at us, before getting into her own car.

I didn't expect the car ride to be so silent, comfortably silent. Still, I wasn't sure if I liked Sebastian or hated him. Sometimes he was tolerable, other times not so much. I was still a bit mad at him for interrupting my conversation with Harris. We were just fake dating, he didn't have to act like my boyfriend ALL the time.
"I'm so tired." I say, to break the silence. He laughs, "Me too, I hate fancy events."
I snort, "Oh please, there were so many pretty girls. You probably felt like a little kid in a candy store."
"Yeah, there were. But I'm not going to talk to them. I have a girlfriend, remember?" He replies, emphasizing on the word girlfriend.
"Sebastian, we're not even dating for real."
"That's not what that others know."
"No one knows yet!"
He sighs, "Still, it would be rude to do that." Suddenly I felt bad, I was going to flirt with Harris knowing full well that I was fake-dating Sebastian. It didn't make sense to me but the way he worded it made me feel guilty. I knew there was nothing wrong with what I did but maybe he's right.
"Whatever..." I mumble absentmindedly. We didn't talk after that, not until we got home. We were leaving tomorrow, so I wasn't necessarily eager to be packing already.
"Can't we just take plane tickets?" I whine. My mom shakes her head and tuts. "You're acting like a nine year old. Be mature, Katherine."
I groan loudly to annoy her. "Well, why don't you ask Sebastian?" She says, a smirk forming on her face. What was she up to now? It was already a bother when she was trying to hook me up with Sebastian, now she's doing this at home? Maybe I would be happy to pack.
I begrudgingly knock on Sebastian's bedroom door. No answer. I knock again. Nothing.
Was he asleep already? It was only 8. For some reason, I turn the knob and barge in. I wanted to get it over him. At first glance, he was missing, but the door to his bathroom opened.

Sebastian doesn't know what to say, and he just stands there, frozen in shock for a moment. I did the same. My eyes trailed down to his abs, unconsciously.
After a few seconds of us still frozen, I snap out of my trance.
"Jesus!" I scream, covering my eyes. Sebastian yelps like a puppy and scurries to find a towel. I just saw Sebastian naked!
"Knock first!" He chides.
"I did!" I say, my not-so-virgin eyes still covered. I hear a little shuffling around in the room. "Seb, who just walks around naked?"
"Well I was showering-in my own room!"
He did have a point, "Oh...right." I chuckle nervously. "I was coming to talk to you about something."
"Clearly. You can look now, by the way. I'm not naked anymore." He sasses. I roll my eyes at him and move my arms to the side, "My mom wants us to drive, but I want to just grab a flight. I know you don't want to drive either, right?" I say, using the best puppy eyes as I could.
Sebastian pauses for a moment, "Hmm..right."
"And we could ride comfortably on the plane. It's only a couple hours, too. Please?" I ask, inching closer to him. The water droplets on his chest had started to dissipate.
"Okay. Sure?"
I light up, "Yes! Thank you!" I run up to kiss him on the cheek, and my shirt is stained with the leftover water on his body. He turns a bright shade of pink as I pull away.
"No..problem." He says before coughing.
"Goodnight, Seb." I say, before shutting the door. Before he could reply, I shut the door. I cringe at what I did, why did i shut it so fast? But as I started to walk away, I was sure I heard a faint voice from his room.
