I heard a knock on the door as I started picking up things around the house… Once I got a text from Sebastian saying he was coming to visit me, Gavin and I had to quickly finish what we were doing and he left. The last person I wanted to know about us was Seb; he would tell Aria as soon as possible and I definitely didn't want her to know at all. It would be too hard to explain and I didn't want anymore bad blood between us than there already was… I didn't want to do that my sister.

I tried to hide anything too obvious as I walked up to the door, opening it and I saw my friend standing there, "Already here? It took you a few months only!" I told him as he snapped out of his daze.

He gazed at my body, "If you're complaining I can go away." He raised an eyebrow as he smirked.

I rolled my eyes and dragged him by his sleeve, to pull him inside, "Oh no way Seb, only god knows how long it would take you to show up again." I sighed, closing the door behind us before giving him a smile.

"Forever probably." He shrugged. All of a sudden I just wanted to hit him. Jerk.

"You're the worst friend ever." I sighed as we walked towards the living room.

"You're not any better." He smirked at me as I tossed my head over my shoulder to glare at him, making him smirk wider, "If only looks could kill…"

If that were true I would be on death row now.

I turned towards him and started walking backwards, "Don't challenge me."

He shot me an unamused look, "I'm terrified." He said flatly, sitting down on my couch as he started looking around, "So, what did I miss? And I suggest you to use your time with me wisely and tell me everything I need to know." He said gazing at me. He was acting odd, more odd than usual, but oh well.

I furrowed my brows, "What are you talking about Seb?"

"I'm talking about what has to be a new boy in your life..."

"What new boy?" I asked, my heart beat speeding up. I usually didn't keep much from Seb, but both Gavin and I said we'd keep it to ourselves.

"I mean the one who's boxers are on the ground over there." He nodded to the corner where Gavin's boxers were left. F*ck…, "And don't tell me it's Tom's because I saw the tabloids."

I scoffed, "You saw and you don't call your best friend?" I eyed him, trying to change the subject, "I was having a mini meltdown and you were off in paradise with my sister. Not very nice." I crossed my arms over my chest as he smirked.

"Really?"

I nodded, "Yes, I was really upset!" I told him honestly, "When you were looking at the tabloids, did you happen to miss the ones of me stumbling sh*tfaced out of the bar?" I asked, eyeing him.

"I guess I missed those ones… but obviously you've seemed to jump back pretty quick." He grinned, "Not that I doubted that, haven't you always?"

"Because I dump them!" I exclaimed, getting upset, "They don't usually dump me… So I was a little upset." I sighed.

"So who is this guy that gives you enough pleasure to bounce back?" He grinned.

"It's nobody." I shrugged him off, "Do you want a drink?" I said thinking of other ways to get him off of me.

"Sure, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop asking." He laughed.

I groaned, "Does it matter?!" I exclaimed, sitting next to him on the couch.

"Yes! You know why? Because I'm your best friend and I'm the final judge of any guy who wants you…" He said, and that was the sweet Seb that came out once in every blue moon, "Plus I want to tease you." He grinned. Now that was the regular Seb.

I rolled my eyes, "It doesn't matter, honestly."

"I'll give you this; you have kept it out of the press, which is hard for anyone, but is it because he's famous?" I didn't reply, if Seb kept guessing he might be able to get it, "He is! Okay, so he's not the usual loser. The guy in your last movie already dumped you, so I think we can rule him out."

I glared, "I don't remember you being such an as*shole."

"It's because we haven't seen each other in a while. You'll grow accustomed to it soon."

I rolled my eyes, "If you don't disappear again."

He threw his arm over my shoulder, "You know I'm dedicated to the movies I'm making, it's not personal."

"Sure." I smirked, "Is that why I'm sure you spent the weekend with my sister?"

"She's my girlfriend and that's different. Oh and don't try to change the subject, I'm still guessing."

I shook my head, "Well, you're never going to guess it."

"Don't challenge me, you know I hate losing." He shot me an amused look and tightened his hold on me until I was squirming, "I always win actually."

"Blah blah, you're the usual conceited a.ss." I snorted and pushed him away trying to pout at get my way.

He let go of me eventually as he shook his head, "Where's my drink?" He asked, ignoring my insult.

I groaned as I got up, stomping my feet on my way to the kitchen, "What do you want?" I said, loud enough for him to hear.

"You should know me better." He said, answering back as I grabbed him a beer, rolling my eyes. God, he was such a stubborn a.ss. I walked back into the living room where he was staring at his phone with a stupid grin on his face.

"You look like an idiot." I told him, handing him the beer.

"If you're still so bitter then whoever that guy is he's not f*cking you in the right way." He told me.

"Trust me, he does perfectly." I grinned, thinking about Gavin as I sat down on the couch next to him.

"I'm not interested in your sexual life but I admit that I'm curious about the mystery guy." He said with a smirk, not giving up and still trying to find out.

I eyed his phone, ignoring him, "Was it Aria?" I said as I felt a twinge in my heart. I missed her..

He nodded as he eyed me suspiciously, "Yes." And not saying anything else.

I thought about her and how we were just starting to get our relationship back on track and it was ruined again… and I probably was to blame.

"I miss her." I said eventually with a shrug as I turned to look at him.

He shook his head, "You know the rules." God he was such a prick.

"You and your f.cking rules." I groaned, rolling my eyes, "I just wanted to know if my sister is fine…."

"She's with me, doesn't that answer that question?" He asked while grinning at me. Honestly, Seb was my friend but him and Aria had a rocky relationship and that was an understatement.

"Last time I checked you were kind of an a.sshole." I told him honestly. Seb usually cared only about himself…

"Last time you checked was forever ago and we were both young and naive." He said, smirking wider. I wanted to smack that smirk off his face.

I let out a small laugh, "You've never been naive Seb." I said, stretching out and grabbed his beer, taking a swig of it, "Maybe she was and you took advantage of her."

"Shut up, you know nothing. She was more than willing to let me." He said simply, still grinning like an a.sshole.

"Gross." I made a face, taking another sip, "So are you back together… for real?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"Yes." He said simply.

"Are things serious?" I went on, not giving a damn about prying.

"I'll hand you the wedding invitation myself when the time will come." He groaned at me and honestly, I was a bit shocked when he said that, but he nudged me in the side, "I'm joking."

"Never say never." I winked at him, amused that he was denying that he would marry my sister, but I truly thought they would.

"Do I know him?" He asked suddenly, talking about Gavin again.

"Who?" I asked, blinking my eyes.

"The boxers guy." He smirked as I pursed my lips together and stayed silent, "I take it as a yes."

"Shut up." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"So I know him… and you're not telling me who he is because…" He trailed off thinking about, "Because I don't like him?" He suggested.

"You don't like a lot of people Seb, don't be surprised." I shrugged.

He nodded, "You're right, I don't… So I must really not like him, especially if you're keeping this such a secret."

My heart started beating rapidly and I knew he would probably put two and two together and then Gavin and I's secret would be out in the open.

"No Seb." I deadpanned, looking at him.

"Then tell me!" He exclaimed as I shook my head no.

"It's a secret." I told him, "We promised we wouldn't tell anyone and you especially would give me grief about it."

"How badly do I hate this guy?" He smirked, "It can't be worse than how much I hate Gavin." He joked.

I swallowed and didn't say a word as I tried to avoid his gaze as he gradually stopped laughing, "Amelia…" He trailed off, eyeing me.

"What?" I said with a shrug as his eyes widened.

"Gavin?!" He exclaimed, "You're f*cking Gavin?!"

"NO!" I said loudly.

"Oh my god, you are! How?!" He set his drink at me and stared me down.

"I was drunk and he helped me home so I wouldn't kill myself…" I trailed off, "I woke up at his place and I was feeling like sh*t over Tom… so I proposed we just have sex for the hell of it…"

"You hate him!!" He yelled at me.

I smirked, "Yeah, but he's really good in bed."

"Disgusting." He sneered, swallowing the rest of his drink in one gulp, "What about Aria?" He looked at me.

"Doesn't know anything about this and please Seb, don't tell her." I begged him.

"I'm not lying to her." He glared at me.

"I'm not asking you to, but just don't say anything. Please." I pleaded, "If you're my friend AT ALL, you won't. What Gavin and I have going on is going well and I don't want you to mess it up…"

"I can't." He said simply with a shrug and all I wanted to do was punch him in his stupid face. I wasn't asking him to lie. I was asking him to just not say anything. So yes, that was lying by omission, but I didn't want to hurt Aria and what Gavin and I had was nothing but sex. Why hurt her over nothing??

"I'm begging you here Seb, just… please." I begged, grabbing his arm, tugging on it as I stared at him through my lashes.

He shook his head once more, "I'm sorry Amelia, but I can't keep such a thing to myself."

I snorted, getting irritated with him. I didn't want him to know but he kept pushing and pushing and all of a sudden he wanted to ruin everything.

"You just want to ruin what I have with Gavin." I spat at him with a glare.

He raised a brow, "Do you really think that low of me?" He asked quietly. I knew he wouldn't intentionally try to hurt me, but that's what he was doing now.

I crossed my arms over my chest, "You hate him, you said that yourself! So you'll be more than happy to sabotage him, even if it means that I'll be involved in that too."

"You're wrong." He said sternly, "He's too irrelevant and I have no desire to stick my nose into his life." He let out a small laugh and shook his head, "You instead… well I'm sorry that you decided to have this thing with him, but if you're happy about it then go for it. Just be careful."

I blinked my eyes at him, confused, "But-"

"You love your sister, right?" He cut me off before I could start arguing again.

"Of course I do!!" I spat out at him, pissed that he would think differently.

"Then how do you think she'd take it if she knew that both you and her so called best friend are keeping your little affair secret even from her?" He cocked his head to the side as he stared at me, "I mean sure, she'd get mad at me if she found out I knew too, but for some reason I have the feeling that she'd forgive me. You and Gavin instead? I don't know about that."

I hated it when he proved me wrong. I hated it so f.cking much. Honestly, my relationship with Aria was rocky at best. I didn't want to intentionally hurt my sister and honestly I didn't think how this would affect her. She'd probably hate me if she found out… but I couldn't help what had happened with Gavin and I… I'm not sure if what we had was just sex anymore.

I tossed my head back against the couch and ran my hands through my hair as I glanced up at the ceiling, "F.ck."

"Tell her. She'll appreciate the sincerity." He said, inching closer to the edge of the couch, "If you won't, I will.

"But that's a f*cking threat Seb." I snorted, glaring at him. Hated being threaded.

He shrugged, "Call it whatever you want, I won't let this thing blow in my face and cause a fight with Aria. I'm sorry Amelia, I have to protect my relationship." He said, getting up, offering his hand to me.

I grabbed it, angrily, "Yeah, I guess so." I said, upset, wondering how I was going to explain it to Gavin.

"I'm not seeing her until the next week, this is the time I'm giving you. It's all I can do." He sighed, giving me an ultimatum and I was extremely pissed at him for it.

He wrapped his arms around me for a hug and kissed my forehead before pulling away and starting for the door, "Think about it."
