Chapter 279
Wait, are you two seriously sharing a room now?” James finally blurted out.
“Veal” Sebastian simply veered around him and made his way toward the kitchen. “So that’s the whole reason you came over todayr
“You’ve got some nerve bringing that ups” James followed him, already funing: “After what your stid last night, we thought you two already sleeping together. We kept asking, and you wouldn’t give us a straight answer. We just sat there like siliots, waiting until nearly sunrise. Damn you, seriously“
“No one asked you to wait, Sebastian replied with an air of exasperated assement. He thought they were being ridiculous,
He hadn’t replied to their messages for several minutes. That alone should have been answer enough
“As your friends, we were deeply concerned about your well–being, Warren added with a chuckle, catching up behind him.
“No, you’re just bored. The pair of you are way too free lately. All you do is chase after your friends‘ gossip like it’s some kind of live dramat Sebastian spoke through a yawn that escaped before he could suppress it.
James cut in from of him and stared him down. “So come on, what time dil you finally sleep!”
“About the same as you. She’s a restless sleeper, clingy one moment, then kicking me away the next because I’m too warm… honestly, she’s more troublesome than Orange ever was”
He sighed, though there was a distinct warmth in his tone that gave him away. He sounded far more pleased than annoyed,
James snorted. “Listen to yourself. You pretend she’s a nuisance, but you’re clearly loving every second of it. I can practically see you glowing. Seriously though, what’s it like? Sleeping next to a girl?”
“You’ll have to try is and find out. Sebastian said. It wasn’t something he could easily describe
“Oh, come on. Just tell us!” James leaned in, not letting it go.
Sebastian paused for a moment, then said, “It’s like… reliving every good thing that’s ever happened in your life, all at once.”
“Really“” Warren looked intrigued no
THOW
at a quiet hiss of mock disapproval. “You’re not exactly kids anymore. Don’t tell me neither of you
Sebastian gave them both a long look, then let out a har anyone?”
“We’re buried in work. Who has time for dating?” James replied. “My folks did set me up with a few girls, but… none of them felt right”
He hadn’t been unwilling, he’d even tried to be open, but the kind of instant spark he longed for never once appeared.
Tm nut looking for anything right now,” Warren said. “Sure, Fin curious watching you stumble through romance, but observing and experiencing are two very different things
“So watching someone else fall in love is just… entertainment for your Sebastian asked, phuling open the refrigerator door.
Warren settled into a chair beside the island, casually reaching out to stroke the cat that had leapt onto the counter. “Absolutely. Watching is effonless. Being in love takes energy. And besides, wise men stay out of love,”
Sebastian chuckled. “I’d like to see how long that wisdom of yours holds up. If even one between us manages to stay single all the way into old age, I’ll be unpressed”
“Could be me,” Warren said with a shrug
To someone as rational as he was, someone so single–mindedly focused on work, love seemed more like a complication than a blessing
Still, he had no objections to watching his friend tie lúmself into canotional kunts, fambling through unfamiliar territory like a moil to a flani
you’re done gossiping, then get out. I’ve got things to do? Sebastian said, checking the time. He still had a place to view later, a follow–up meeting with Ivy, and updates to gather on Abigail’s ci
The Prescu family had been keeping a lower profile lately, but Sebastian wasn’t foolish enough to think they’d stop
top watching. Famalies like that never truly save him as a threat
To them, he was nothing more than a reckless junior, too far down the hierarchy to cause real trouble
“Wait, we’re not finished,” Janes said, suddenly serious. “Let me ask you something important. Do you actually know what you’re doing“”
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, still sipping milk. “Know what?”
