A Real man says yes

It had been quite a bit of time since Gen had last seen her friend Sebastian. The last time they had seen each other, they had, well she had given herself to him. After that he made it perfectly clear that he wanted to friends with her. She was pretty sure that was what they were prior to him sleeping with her. But now that it had happened, she didn't know what to think anymore. Her mind was more jumbled and confused than it was before she had slept with Sebastian. Had she of known that he was just going to blow it off like it didn't really matter, she probably wouldn't have done it in the first place. Then again, who was she trying to fool? It was obvious that the young french woman had feelings for the man. She had those feelings ever since she was still in Beauxbatons. She was sure they weren't going away anytime soon, and she just wished that he would stop pushing her away. She wasn't sure if it was for the sake of his son or if it was just because he was too damn stubborn to commit to a relationship. Maybe it was her, maybe he just didn't want to commit to a relationship with her. No matter the reasons, she still wanted to at least remain friends. She couldn't imagine life without Sebastian in it.

As she dressed that morning, back in her beachside house with the rest of her roommates, she thought about the whole situation. She was doing much better in school. In fact she was close to her crunch time year, it was the whole reason she was in London. She was looking for an internship with a healer for her school. It was the next step in the process. She was coming on up on her birthday and she knew that soon she was going to have to get her head really in the game and learn the ins and outs of healing spells.

Genevieve had come a long way since graduating Beauxbatons and starting school. She had grown up a lot and learned that the world wasn't as nice as she had once hoped it would be. But she was oddly okay with that. She hadn't spoken to a lot of people attended Beauxbatons with, in fact she had even lost touch with her old flame, Luuk since graduation. She thought about him on occasion, wondering how things were going in Romania. She hadn't forgotten him, but her life no longer revolved around love. It was all about her career now. So when she walked down the streets with her skirt billowing out behind her, she looked confident. She had to at least appear to be. She needed this internship, and bad.

She turned a corner and stopped suddenly when something caught her eye. Well, it wasn't really a something, so much as it was a someone. Sebastian. He was there, not but a few yards in front of her, looking at something. She bit into her red painted lip wondering if she should approach him and say something. Yes, she nodded to herself, of course she should. She took a few steps and then tapped him on the shoulder. "Been a few since I last saw you yes?" Her English was still spotty but it was getting better.

"And I told her," Sebastian's accent was unusually thick today. "I said, 'it's not my fault you left your drawers out where they could fall out a window', right? Because it's not my fault, and she said," The man took a drag of his cigarette before leaning in and continuing to tell his story from the previous night. "She said, 'it's not my fault you took them off there'. Can you believe that? Like it's my job to control where her clothes go." Blue eyes were rolled into the back of Sebastian's head as he let out a scoff.

"Anyways," The Frenchman pat his friend on the back. "I'll let you go. I've got some shopping to do, yeah? We'll catch up more later."

With a final wave, the twenty two year old started walking in the opposite direction of his mate's little coffee stand, sticking the cigarette in his hand in his mouth as he did so. It was a nice day - relaxing, really. His outfit of the day made the pale man rather hot, although he supposed he'd rather look good and impress the people around him rather than feel good. When he got home in a few short minutes, he'd switch into something less thick and more comforting and get himself a drink, and things would be just fine. He supposed he couldn't fry up some chicken as well - he'd had a great chicken parm recipe sitting at the back of his counter that'd been dying to be made.

Sebastian only made it a few short steps before something caught his eye - a bright blue blazer sitting upon a mannequin that seemed to just be begging for him to buy it. He knew he'd just look great in it, absolutely wonderful. There was no denying he'd needed this blazer and -

The Frenchman's head whipped around when someone had tapped his shoulder. A familiar voice, and the redheaded girl that it belonged to had put a smile on Sebastian's face when he reached out and pulled the girl into a hug. "Gen! My lovely ginger," He spoke in a friendly tone. "It's been more than a few, I reckon," He paused, trying to remember the last time he'd seen her. If he remembered correctly, it was the time they'd spent the night together in an intimate fashion - and that really was quite a while ago. "How've you been? Good, I hope. What brings you to London? Were you coming to surprise me," He teased, a smirk forming on his face.

When Sebastian whipped around, she was met with a smile. It wasn't what she expecting, then again she wasn't sure what to expect. She smiled at him as well and was pulled into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him and took in a deep breath. He smelled wonderful and she couldn't help but sort of melt into his arms. "Hello Sebastian. I have been alright, I am getting ready to start my internship and that is why I am in London." She smiled and pulled back from the hug. "I mean...yes, to surprise you!" She laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

"As far as how I am, I'm good. I'm actually doing really well. I have missed you however." She looked around the area and then looked back at Sebastian. "Out for a day of shopping?"She was supposed to be at the internship interview in less then twenty minutes but now, standing in front of Sebastian now she wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of the day with him. She bit into her lip and looked over at the building.

"What are you doing in...say an hour?" She smiled and stepped closer to him. "I have an interview in about twenty minutes but I would like spend some time with you. If you would like to..." She smiled sort of awkwardly and stepped into him. She stood up on her tip toes and placed a small kiss on his cheek before stepping back and winking at him.
