Once we finish up dinner Sebastian takes my hand and leads me out of the restaurant.  "So did I choose well Princess?  Or am I trying too hard to impress you?" I lace my fingers with his, swinging our arms back and forth as we walk back to my car. "Sebastian, you have impeccable taste. Your idea was perfect." I stop him just shy of my car and turn to face him. "But Sebby, you don't have to do anything special to impress me. I'm still the same girl who can be rendered speechless by the mere sight of you and your oh so handsome self."

He laughs softly as he wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me flush against his body, "And I'm still the same boy who would rather spend all day naked in a room with you than be anywhere else on the planet.  Princess, you look absolutely breathtaking tonight.  But honestly, I'm dying to see what you have on under that naughty little red dress of yours.  How you wore that to school today without every other guy trailing after you is beyond me..." I give him a small smile as I raise slightly on my toes, throwing my arms around his shoulders. "Sebastian even if they were following me I wouldn't have noticed. I mean have you seen yourself in a mirror? You drew a crowd in the parking lot at McKinley!"

He chuckles softly as he lowers his face towards mine, "Now look who is talking too much..."  I hum in agreement, cocking my head to the side.  "Maybe I should just show you then..." I lean in and press a soft kiss, ever so lightly, to his lips before I pull away. Sebastian looks at me and pouts, "Such a tease Shann. And you stole my line, you know." I slip out of his arms, wrapping my own around me because I suddenly feel very cold without him. "Well we can't very well let ourselves get carried away here Bas. I thought you were dying to see what I had underneath my dress. I'll give you a hint, it isn't much." I give him a small wink and then turn to continue the small distance to my car.

He hurries quickly after me, I mean he has my car keys so it's not like I could leave without him. Once he is by my side again he places a small kiss to my cheek as he holds my door open. "Shann, you're so bad sometimes." I giggle as I slide into my seat, "If I am then it is your fault Bastian. I was a very good girl before you came along."  He laughs as he gets into the drivers seat, grabbing my hand to kiss it quickly before putting the car into drive.  "That's what you get for getting mixed up with a bad boy like me.  I thought your cousin would have warned you against that."  I blush slightly and whisper back as I feel my phone vibrating in my purse.  "He did..."

I pull my phone out and check it quickly.

Oh no.

You've got to be kidding me.

HC🔥:  How's the 'date' with the 'boyfriend'?  I thought you were coming here...

I must have subconsciously voiced my disappointment because Sebastian grabs my hand, squeezing it slightly. "Everything okay Love?" I sigh softly trying to think on my feet. "I'll be okay. One of my study groups is bothering me about an assignment that isn't due for a while. Let me just respond quickly and then I'm all yours for the rest of the night. Okay?" He nods, eyes never leaving the road as he kisses my hand fast and releases it again.

I look at the phone in my hands and type out a quick message. I can't deal with this right now. I just wanted to be able to enjoy my evening with Sebastian.

To HC🔥: I'm in the car with him so I can't really deal with this right now. And I'm not particularly happy with you anyway.

My phone vibrates almost instantly so I know he was waiting for me to answer.

HC🔥: 😧 Why? What did I do?

I roll my eyes, delusional much. But I promised to make this quick.

To HC🔥: Don't play bashful. You're telling everyone we were on a date, waxing on about it without saying it was me. But you had to know this would get back to me. I'm thinking now of reconsidering the dance lesson idea because of this.
HC🔥: what?! Omg! Please.... 😫 I'm just trying to distract them so they won't question if we start dancing together. Please don't bail on me...
To HC🔥: I'll think about it. But I can't talk anymore tonight. Just stop doing stupid things like trying to lull Sebastian into a false sense of security. I know what you're trying and it won't work. Friendship only. Remember. Or whatever THIS is, it's done.

With that I put my phone back into my purse. "What is wrong with some people Sebby??" He just shrugs as he drives. "I have no clue Princess. Is everything okay now with your group?"

I sigh and run my hand through my hair.  When did I become such a liar??

"Not really.  But I don't want to worry about anyone else tonight.  This is supposed to be about me and you right?"  I lean over and give him a small kiss on the cheek.  Quickly I whisper in his ear, "Don't you want it to be just me and you, Sebastian?" He sneaks a glance at me, kissing me quickly and then turning back to look at the road. I notice we're almost at Dalton already. "That's all I want Love. Which is why I keep telling you that we need to run away. Officially make you my Mrs Smythe. Before someone comes in and tries to take you away from me."

He parks my car in my usual spot, right outside the gates and turns to look at me. I'm biting my lip when I look up at him and softly begin to speak. "Can we do that Sebastian? Can we do that like NOW? Please? To hell with everything else..." He reaches out and gently removes my lip from between my teeth, rubbing his thumb across it before moving his hand to cup my cheek. I sigh as I lean in to his touch.  "Right now no, legally Princess we can't just yet.  The second I turn 18 though, if we get your parents to okay it, I can sweep you away and make you mine forever.  But until then..."

I sigh, "Being 17 is hard..." He leans forward and kisses my forehead gently. "That it is Pretty Girl. But we're in this together. So..." That's got to be something I suppose. I glance up at the building suddenly feeling very shy. "Do we have to go in?" Sebastian chuckles at me and gets out of the car grabbing my overnight bag and blazer. He is at my side in an instant holding open my door with his hand extended to help me out. He helps me into my blazer as I eye him curiously, "Um, Seb?" He makes sure my car in securely locked and then grabs my hand with his free one, shooting me a heart stopping wink. "Trust me Love, it would be in your best interest to wear the blazer."

I look at him confused but still comply. Soon he is leading me into the school, my heels clicking on the floor on the way. "So why did I have to put my blazer back on?" He glances around, quickly noticing that the sound of my heels is like a siren song, I am garnering attention from the students that we pass. He chuckles as he smirks at his classmates. "You're a beautiful woman walking through a school full of sex starved young men. But you're MY beautiful, sweet, smarted, talented fiancée. With the blazer we can limit how much of you these freaks are able to fantasize over."

He stops outside of his dorm room, letting go of my hand so that he can fish his room key out of his pocket.  "Well what about you, Sebastian?"  He looks up at me with a smirk firmly planted on his face as he unlocks his door and pulls me into his room.  My blazer is off in an instant as he picks me up and carries me over to his bed.  Setting me down gently he sits down beside me, "Let them look all they want because I'm the only who gets to have you.  All of you.  Naked and all over my dorm room..."

I pull him down to me whispering softly you sure know how to flatter a girl before I capture his lips in a bruising kiss which he quickly reciprocates...
