London Abbot had moved to Lima from England a few weeks ago and was unable to find anyone who didn't make fun of her name. She sighed and entered the coffee shop called, The Lima Bean. What a clever name, London thought bitterly standing in line to order some coffee. She ordered a mint mocha before going to sit down. She twirled her stir stick around in her coffee before drinking some, it was very good. She was engulfed in her thoughts before a boy broke through them with his smooth voice, "I'm Sebastian!"
She sighed, "I'm London. Yes, I'm British and yes, London is a city in England. Go at it," London growled bitterly.
"You're from England? Wales? It sounds like Wales." Sebastian was quite obviously turning on his charm.
"Yes, I'm from Wales. So, you're not going to pick fun at my name or accent?" London asked softly.
"Nah. I lived in Paris for a few years before I came here. Before Paris, I lived in London and before that, Ireland. I've lived everywhere but here. I was born here but moved to Ireland when I was four, I moved to London when I was eight, and then moved to Paris when I was thirteen. Now, I'm sixteen and back in Ohio. My parents promised I would be here for junior and senior years and then I could go to college where ever I wanted." Sebastian's charm was working; London was listening intently and swooning over him.
"Do you realize that I see right through you?" London demanded trying to get her brain out of the gutter.
"Yes," Sebastian replied locking his green eyes with her amber ones.
"Than why try?" London asked her heart beating faster when he touch her hand.
"I know that I can get you to kiss me," Sebastian replied in a seductive tone.
"You're arrogant." London bit her lip when slid into the space next to her in the booth seating.
"So, I've been told. Come on, London. You've got to admit I'm pretty sexy," Sebastian told her smirking.
"There's that arrogance again." London slid farther away from him nervously.
Sebastian scooted closer to her making her heart beat so loud he could hear it, "I make your heart race. You like me."
"Sebastian!" London whined her heart beating harshly against her ribs.
"Yes?" Sebastian asked leaning towards her.
"Agh! NO!" London stood up making Sebastian stand with her.
"No, what?" Sebastian asked stupidly.
"No, you can't kiss me."
"Why not?"
"I'm not like that, Sebastian."
"Like what?"
"Like all the girls in France."
"How do you know they were all girls?"
"That's an interesting thought. If you want to kiss me, take me on a date."
"I'll take you up on that. I'll see you tomorrow at seven." Sebastian snatched the pen off the table and wrote his number on her arm.
"I'll see you..." London was really confused as to what just happened as Sebastian strolled out of the shop leaving her to her thoughts.
Sebastian? -London
Yes? -Sebastian
What just happened? o.O -London
You tell me, London. -Sebastian
UGH. -London
London angrily set her phone on the table and laid on her bed as her dad walked in, "Hey, London."
"Yeah?" London asked softly.
"Do you like Ohio?" her dad asked.
"Yeah, I don't see why I wouldn't," London replied as Rachel came in; London had a hard time thinking of Rachel as her sister.
"Alright..." her dad replied exiting the room.
Rachel sat next to her on her bed looking at her as London's cell vibrated, Why ugh? You like me, that's what just happened. -Sebastian. Rachel glanced at the screen, "YOU'RE TEXTING HIM?"
"Uhm, yeah. What's wrong with that?" London asked quickly replying, I dunno what I think about you. -London.
"Only that he tried to break up Kurt and Blaine!" Rachel replied harshly.
"Who?" London asked shaking her head.
"Kurt is my best friend, and Blaine is his boyfriend," Rachel told her.
Well, you'll find out tomorrow. -Sebastian
My dad will want to meet you before you take me anywhere. -London
Parents. Fun. -Sebastian
Please don't let him scare you. -London
He scares potential boyfriends? -Sebastian
Who said you were a potential boyfriend? ARROGANCE, Sebastian. ARROGANCE. -London
Fair enough. Where do you live? -Sebastian
You know the neighborhood across from McKinley El? -London
Yeah. -Sebastian
I live in that neighborhood. 638 is the house number. -London
"You're going on a date with him? HE'S GAY!" Rachel exclaimed making London point at the door.
"First of all, GET OUT. And second of all, you don't know that," London replied as Rachel lingered at the door.
"Actually, I do." Rachel stormed off making London shake her head.
London smoothed out her blue and black maxi skirt and pulled on a black tank top. She pulled a blue cardigan on before slipping her black flats on. Her blonde hair was laying on her chest in curls along with her blue feather earrings, and she was wearing no makeup. She hated the stuff. She grabbed her purse and head downstairs, where her dad and his husband were talking to Sebastian. She bit her lip as Sebastian eyed her; he made her so nervous.
"Alright, have her back by eleven thirty!" her dad called as they walked out the door.
"Where are we going?" London asked as they climbed in Sebastian's car.
Sebastian was surprisingly wearing thick rimmed glasses, a sleeve light blue shirt, and straight leg jeans, and he looked really good in them.
"Well, I was thinking to Breadstix for dinner and then to the park?" Sebastian replied starting her car.
"Sounds fine," London replied her nervousness engulfing her.
"Calm down, London." Sebastian glanced over at her seeing her playing with her skirt.
"I can't! Not until I get to know you," London replied bouncing her leg.
Sebastian set a hand on her leg, "Whadda mean?"
"Rachel-" Sebastian frowned.
"I don't like her." London laughed, "She's my s-sister. I don't like her either."
"What about her?" Sebastian asked pulling into Breadstix's parking lot.
"Uhm, nothing. Never mind," London replied quickly.
Sebastian and London exited the car and entered the restaurant where they were seated, and their order was taken.
"Tell me your story," Sebastian told London softly.
"What?" London asked crunching her eyebrows together.
"What's your story? Why are you here?" Sebastian asked.
Sebastian and London were talking easily by the end of the night and he swiftly paid for dinner, "A guy always pays." London was still confused on Sebastian's personality; he was such a gentleman sometimes and others he was a total arrogant jerk. Sebastian went in to kiss her and she stepped away, "Not even."
"You, London, are going to make this hard for me, aren't you?" Sebastian asked stepping closer to her.
"Yes." London smiled at him and he returned the grin.
A Few Months Later
"Seeeebbbbbb," London whined as he touched her waist.
"Yeah?" Sebastian asked pulling her close.
She couldn't answer him because she was mesmerized by his touch; he never failed to make her nervous. They had been dating for three months and his touch made her stomach do flips. She couldn't relax around him, "I can hear your heart." Sebastian squeezed her waist making her stomach do a flip.
"I know! You make me so nervous!" London told him.
"Why?" Sebastian asked locking his arms around her.
"I don't know... You just do." London settled into his arms trying to shake her feeling of being nervous.
Sebastian pursed his lips before kissing her cheek, "How can I help?"
London had a sudden realization; maybe she should let Sebastian kiss her. She refused his advances since they had started dating because she had never been kissed before, and the idea scared her. She had been thinking about Rachel telling he was gay and kissing him seemed like a bad idea.
"Can I ask you something?" London asked playing with his fingers.
"Anything," Sebastian replied.
London turned in his arms and put her hand on his chest, "I-I dunno how to ask so I'm just gonna ask... Rachel told me something... Uhm... She said that you tried to break up Kurt and Blaine because you liked Blaine..."
Sebastian pushed her away and stood up. She bit her lip and stood up; she had to look up at him because the height difference between the two of the them was quite drastic. Sebastian stood at a six foot two, with London at five foot two.
"What are you asking, London?" Sebastian asked eyeing her.
"Are you gay?" London blurted making Sebastian.
"No! I, mean, I was and then Blaine and I kissed than I figured out it wasn't all that great... I really like you, London," Sebastian replied trying to explain to her that he had thought he was gay.
"Seb, why didn't you just tell me?" London asked wrapping her arms around Sebastian's torso.
"I thought you'd be angry and-" London cut him off.
"My best friend is gay, Seb. Why would I be angry with you?" London didn't let him answer she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. He leaned down to let her stand on the bottoms of her feet.
They broke apart and Sebastian murmured, "I'm not gay." London laughed and hugged him.
"Good."
"So, you kissed him?" Blaine asked London as she sat down.
"Yeah..." London replied looking at Blaine.
"So, what do you think? Do you love him?" Blaine asked making London break their eye contact.
"I think that he's amazing and I dunno, Blaine. It's too early... I give myself to him like that. I can't tell him I love him, yet," London told him biting her lip.
"I understand. He seems very protective of you," Blaine replied softly.
"He is... I think he's scared I'll leave him. He's always commenting on how nervous I am around him..." London explained.
"Why are you nervous around him? You shouldn't be. Sebastian's your boyfriend," Blaine pointed out.
"I know! I'm nervous because he's so intense. My level of intensity is, like, a four and his is a ten. It's crazy." London sighed and sipped her coffee.
"I guess time will tell," Blaine told her.
Author's Note: I hope you liked it! Yes, London is Rachel's sister. Before her dad realized he was gay he had a daughter with a woman from England. London stayed with her mom and had limited visitation with her dad for years until she decided to live with her dad.
