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?"
Lorraine had an instinct to devour each time she saw Sebastian's pretty lips in front of her, swollen and red and fuck... It was in the way he reacted to her actions. Like the way he gasped and moaned without hiding it if she was kissing his neck. The way he'd fall back on the bed or the way his eyes would roll back in pleasure. Sebastian looked like sin under the neon red lights. His skin glistened with a layer of sweat and hair stuck to his forehead. His red lips were parted to let out soft pants, looking at Lorraine with siren eyes, dazed and drawing her towards him.Once again, she surged forward, capturing his lips with hers and moving them with ferocity, the passion unyielding. Their tongues were intertwined, fighting for dominance, teeth clattering and saliva dripping down their chins
Ah, Lorraine really didn't want to. There was no part of Lorraine's job that she didn't like with her every heartstring. But some interviews slightly...just slightly popped the veins in her neck. Sometimes they were too offensive, too open, too disrespectful. She wouldn't blame all the interviews. Yes, asking questions about herself and her life was one thing, but going way too personal was another. Sometimes it would be her bra or the edited nude that went viral. Anything offensive to ruin her day. She didn't understand what they got from asking these questions.Yes, she knew that more than half of the world wanted to have sex with her and people were disgusting pieces of shit so fake pornographies, obsessive behaviour she almost expected. She didn't approve, but she knew what to expect from Hollywood. It was safe to say that Sebastian just happened to be one of those personal things. It wasn't like she didn't want to speak about him at all, she just didn't know what boundaries t
Autumn was to an end by the time Sebastian and Lorraine's– along with everyone else's work schedules were coming to a pause.The recently aired news of the power couple, Matt and Ivey being pregnant was blowing up the internet.Sebastian had been on about buying a new house for her and Lorraine in New York for whenever she comes. But she knew that was one of his sneaky tricks to make her come to New York as often as she could.With everyone's thriving success because of their immense hardworking, everyone felt overjoyed. Sebastian and Lorraine felt at peace. Though not seeing each other for months didn't help but doing what they loved and being into their regular schedule gave them inner serenity.The Phoenix brothers had been flying from one country to another for their world tours, receiving the love they didn't even know they deserved. They were sure that every one cried at least once during the world tour. Sebastian cried thrice, for he had never expected he would have dated anyon
Looking out of the taxi window, Lorraine took in the fresh air of Busan. Even though it was early winter approaching, the air was still a little wet, sticking to her skin. The city lights that glimmered as they drove onto the bridge were breathtaking. But it did less to settle Lorraine's anxiousness.Fuck, why wouldn't she be anxious? When Sebastian had suddenly dropped the plan of making her meet his parents.She wanted to. She had wanted to meet his family ever since he had mentioned it. It felt very intimate and personal. But...But.But Lorraine was good at everything.Lorraine was good at anything and everything except for when it came to...families. Past was proof. Her encounters with families had been nothing but a short of... destruction. Knowing how much it meant to Sebastian, she was spiralling. She sat at the corner of the backseat, silently basking in the night breezes as the car drove by. She could see the sea."You're still worried."Sebastian's words cut through the sil
Lorraine stood by the glass window, a cup of coffee in her hand, a cigarette tucked between her lips. She didn't go back to Los Angeles, she came to her apartment in New York since Sebastian was here. She said she didn't wanna go back to Los Angeles so she came where he was. Sebastian was yet to know what happened back in her home town. She had been weirdly silent since she came, which was scary but Sebastian decided he was just gonna stay by her side until she decided to speak up.The cup of coffee was empty now and Sebastian lost track of time. She had just been standing there since so long. His chest was clenching badly at the sight of her and questions were storming in his mind. Sebastian went towards her, staring at her face. The city lights gleamed in her eyes as she stared at the view, her face painted with hues of blue and gold. But her expressions remained a void of emotions, which bothered Sebastian.Sebastian gently touched her hand, catching her attention as she flinched
Stepping into her hometown was nauseating, to say the least. She hated everything about it.Her hometown was very different from Los Angeles, it was smaller, greener. One could even be fooled into thinking it was liberating, wide spaces, flower gardens, the kind where one wants to elope with their lover. Perhaps it was, it could have been, at least. But the air reminded her of how it stung against her cuts. It was famous for its food, Lorraine thought perhaps that was the reason she was never big on eating.Coming here after ten years...Lorraine almost thought that it was a mistake, and all she wanted to do was turn around and get on her jet once again, flying back home. But in a twisted way, it was also kind of uplifting how she had rose from the ashes and had come back ten times stronger than before, only to mock and spit on the godforsaken land.Lorraine refused to meet her mother at her house, so they arranged the meeting in her office."Raine," The woman averted her head to the s
Xander had never seen a man so beautiful before in his life. Given, that no one could possibly be more gorgeous in a room where Xander existed, alluring and ethereal, God's finest piece of craft.But these Acker siblings had these eyes...these pair of champagne eyes that looked like would drip honey any moment as if those pair of hazy orbs were to give the elixir of eternity in the form of tears. But they could also very much drown you, one dip in the lake and the marines would be clutching your ankle and pulling you downwards in the depths of blue.So when Tom Acker cornered him against a wall and openly flirt with him- was Xander supposed to breathe? He supposed not. At least, he could not."I know you get this a lot but- you're the most charming person I've ever met."Xander raised his chin up and met the boy's eyes with his hooded ones."I get that a million times per hour.""Of course you do."Xander hummed. Tom wouldn't have been too old. On the contrary, he might have been too
Once upon a time, Lorraine Acker was a victim.With glinting eyes so big and always wide open to take in her world. Curious. Curious about everything, eyebrows always raised.About a decade ago or so.Once upon a time, Lorraine was helpless and naïve. Oh so naïve. She latched onto any but of comfort she could get. Trusted so easily. Easily enough to get hurt."You're with new bruises."Lorraine lifted her head from her knees, looking at the man in front of her. She rolled her eyes, pressing her cheek to her knee instead and drawing her legs closer towards her chest as a stray tear rolled down the bridge of her nose."That's not news now, is it?" She retorted, voice scraped like shards of glass which somehow made the man in front of get wince.She shouldn't be sitting here, it was fucking pathetic to sit in the middle of the corridor of her house. The maids don't judge but it made her feel weak. She was weak, though. That wasn't news either.The man in front of her was way older. Clad
Watching Tom smoke is not what Lorraine appreciated to see, at all. She hated it, even. But joined him nonetheless."You're a fucking sportsman and you're smoking Winchester, have shame." She commented. "I'm a sportsman with trauma, fucking cut some slack." Tom retorted, eyes sweeping over the water as they both stand at the edge of the yacht. "Besides, you're an actress."Lorraine rolled her eyes. "Hollywood is built on substances. The streets are full of them."Tom hummed, looking down, where the water sprayed in foam due to the motor of the yacht."I feel like–" he said. "I feel like sometimes we sound like him. When he talked about business y'know?""No." Lorraine replied instantly. "No, we're nothing like him. Nothing. He's a sick man. God knows I wish death upon him everyday."Tom places the cigar between his lips again, sucks in and breaths out puffs of smoke."Mommy dearest is selling the business for good."Lorraine furrowed her eyebrows."I thought the will was on you." She
"Lorraine, gorgeous, I love you. I really love you." Sebastian said. "But it's so fucking weird to hold an Oscar in your hand and go to your birthday party like you're holding a cheap beer bottle."Lorraine rolled her eyes, pulling a little on her boyfriend's hand as they entered Lorraine's yacht.Yes, it was her birthday.And she had never known how to feel about birthdays.Materialism was one thing but birthdays usually scared her. It felt like...why did they even come every year? She felt like shit at those days. She was usually filled with guilt upto her neck on her birthdays.It wasn't that her birthday wasn't celebrated nicely. It was just that...her mother's birthday wasn't. A part of her was vivid at her mother, always will be. For not fighting for her when she was dying. Not fighting for her when she had jumped in the fire to save her life.But a part of her also pitied her.Endlessly.Because...She had always been a kind woman. Too kind. So much so that it became her weakne
