Seeing how upset Serena was, Sebastian took her hand in his, " do not mind him"She looked down at the floor, " I overheard some of what was said, I don't want to be the reason you lose business deal""You aren't, trust me when I tell you that" putting his finger on her chin he lifted her head up so that he could look into her eyes, " if I wanted to be there I would be, that deal is not important to me, there will be others" bending down, he kissed her, drawing her in close to him.Serena pulled away, " we don't have to go to Paris, I won't mind" she said with sincerity."Well, I mind. And iam looking forward to this mini vacation, I have never had anyone to go with before, no one I wanted to take, now tell me, are you ready to leave?" He asked, as he placed his lip on her neckz running feathery kisses down and along her collarbone before pulling away.When she looked into his eyes and saw how they sparkle with excitement, she knew then it meant a great deal to him, but that was only
Walking up to Serena, he place his hand round her waist, " you look stunning, but then you always do"She reached up and straighten his tie, " you look so handsome Sebastian, I will be the envy of every woman there" she said, kissing his cheek, she then had to wipe her lipstick off him with tissue before they left.Serena eyes were glued to the ballet, it was an amazing performance she had never seen before, it was an extraordinary experience of her life, it was sad and beautiful at the same time and brought tears to her eyes.When Sebastian looked at her and saw her eyes were wet from her tears, he took her hand in his, she gave him a smile that melted his heart, " I take it you are enjoying it""Yes, I love it, it is so beautiful and romantic, thank you for bringing me to it, I will keep the memory with me always"He glanced at her and felt the ache in his heart when she said that, knowing she would be gone in a couple of days.The next morning once he was able to tear himself away
"I'd like to cut in if you don't mind" he told Sebastian."Well I do mind, now get lost" he said, going back to dancing with Serena."That is not very hospitable of you buddy" the cowboy said, poking Sebastian in his back.Letting go of Serena, he turned to the man, his eyes narrowing, " I told you to get lost" he shouted at the man, then shove him, who bumped into two other men having a drink, receiving a punch due to it, a fight broke out as others got involved.Sebastian grabbed Serena hand and headed to the door and outside, there she unleashed her anger on him."You jackass! What the hell was all that about? The guy just wanted a dance! You insulted and shove him, a fight break out and you drag me out!"Not liking her tone, he grabbed her arm but she pushed him away which angered Sebastian the more, " do not call me names Serena"Taking a hold of her hand, he walked her into the alley way out of anyone view who might walk by."Get your hands off me" she yelled as he pinned her up
Serena fought to hold back the tears, " you don't have to be sorry, Iam glad you are being honest, most men would lie, I have no expectation about our future, we are just having fun and that is all" she said, feeling her heart breaking."So you are good with this, the way things are between us, no strings? And what about when you go back home, will you be okay?"She looks up at him with a fake smile plastered on her face, Hoping he would not notice, " when I go back home, I will be taking some amazing memories with me"Sebastian put his arms around her, though she said everything was fine, he could tell that wasn't the truth, " we've had a long day and you must be exhausted, we should get some sleep, I have more Surprises in store for you tomorrow" he said, giving her a goodnight kiss.It was their last day in Paris, he was taking her for more sightseeing, lunch at the finest restaurant and then to see an opera.Serena sat brushing her hair, she could not help feeling sad as time wa
Picking up a napkin, he wiped her lipstick off from his cheek, " Julia, I wasn't expecting to see you here" Sebastian said, looking uncomfortable when he glance over to Serena."You know dear, I was waiting for your call after you broke our date, you said you would, and I was deeply hurt that you didn't invite me to your party" Julia turned and glared at Serena.Seeing the two women looking at each other, he introduced them to one another, " now if you will excuse us, we are about to eat, goodbye""Is she the reason you broke our date! Are you babysitting these days?" She asked, looking at Serena with contempt, " really Sebastian, she is not your type"Feeling insulted and refusing to let this woman belittle her, serena came back with a comment of her own, " well, I bet he prefers babysitting to taking out a grandmother""What?! You cheeky little tramp!" Julia said and picked up a glass of water from the table, threw it on Serena's face.Sebastian took hold of Julia's arm and pushed h
Sebastian sat with his chin resting on his hand, his eyes narrowed as he watched Jeremy, " why do you dislike her so much?"Jeremy sat the laptop on the table, " I don't trust her and neither should you, I think she is here to do you harm, she is a trouble maker, IAM very sure she had even talked you out of foreclosing on that deal""I made that decision on my own, Serena did not influence me one bit, I gave them more time, no big deal, it didn't cost us anything""You have gotten so soft since miss Marcello has been here, you would never have given those debtors an extension before, you know what? The sooner she is gone, the better" Jeremy said angrily."Could it be Jeremy that you dislike her so much because she is not interested in you, or your advances towards her"Jeremy's face turned red, he swallowed hard when he looked at Sebastian, " that's insane, she has you thinking the worst of me"Tapping his finger on the oak desk, Sebastian glared at the man who was squirming in his se
"Nevermind that" he said, Sebastian bent over, opened it and turn it on, all the information she had on him popped up.Serena eyes flew to his, " I can explain, tears sprang to her eyes."Don't bother with the tears, they no longer work on me, you have been lying to me all these while, right from the moment you dropped your purse by my table, I knew you were up to something, I want to know why"The way he was looking at her with hate and disgust, she felt terrible and her eyes went to the floor, she could not bear to see him look at her that way, " I knew who you were, I flew over here looking for you""Why?" He yelled making her jump and look at him."Because you killed my father! I blamed you for his death" she gasped In fear when he took a hold of her arm and pulled her off the bed, he was outrage and sick of being blamed for things that were not his fault, things he has no control over.He grabbed her off the bed not caring how rough it was, his finger digging into her tender fle
Sebastian went back to his office pouring himself a drink, he sat down on the sofa, his conscience was weighing on his mind, what was he thinking to attack her that way? Never in his life had he done that to a woman."IAM no better than Marcus"He opened a bottle of Scotch and started drinking, feeling sorry for himself. The first time he had ever wanted a woman to move in with him and she had betrayed him, betrayed his trust, he ended up spending the night on the sofa in his office.The sun was shining through the window when he woke up, his head was pounding and his mouth dry, he had one of the miad bring him a cup of coffee, sitting behind his desk, he rubbed his face, he was in dire need of a shower and shave, his shirt was wrinkled from sleeping on it, he unbuttoned few buttons as he took a swallow of the steaming liquid.His thoughts went to Serena and what took place last night, no matter what she had done, she didn't deserve what he said and tired to do to her, well she would
