Jessica and Sebastian were sitting on her couch watching the mayor introduce Cutler as the new DA.
"I'm sorry Jess." Sebastian said.
"He lied to me." She said turning her head to face him.
"He lied to me too." He said putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Thanks for trying." She said with a small smile.
"No problem." He said as he kissed her head.
"Where's Julie?" She asked.
"Sleeping over a friend's house." He replied.
"Oh. Do you want to stay for dinner?" She asked
"That would be nice." He said getting off the couch. He extended his hand to her to help her up. She grabbed his hand and he pulled her up.
"I hope you're up for Chinese take-out." She said.
"That's fine. Chicken and Lo-mien." He replied leaning against her counter. Jessica dialed and ordered. They sat back down on the couch and talked as they waited for their food. Jessica had pulled out some wine. Sebastian was pouring glasses for her and then himself.
"I can't believe I have to start cleaning out my office tomorrow." She said
"Aren't you going to miss being my boss?" He asked as he handed her a glass of wine.
"Thanks. Like you listened to me." She said with a laugh.
"Seriously Jess I'm going to miss working for you. Oh and you better believe I will let Manny and Cutler know how I feel." He said tilting his glass toward her.
"Sebastian don't. This is weird." She said.
"What's weird?" He asked.
"Me and you having a friendly conversation, drinking wine, and about to have dinner." She said with a small laugh.
"I know last year we hated each other. We've come a long way." He replied. The doorbell rang and they both set down their wine glasses and walked toward the door. Jessica grabbed the food and was about to pay the man when Sebastian paid for the money and tipped the man.
"You didn't have to do that." She said as she tried to balance the containers of food.
"I know and let me help you with that. Where are eating?" He said
as he took some of the containers out of her hands,
"Um the kitchen." She said. They walked in to kitchen and set down there food. Sebastian pulled out the char for Jessica. "Wow Sebastian you actually have manners." She said raising her eyebrows and a small smile.
"That hurts Jess. I have manners I try not to use them to much. It might hurt my reputation."
"You're an ass." She said with a laugh.
"And I know it." He said returning her laugh. They ate with light conversation and their usual banter. When they were finished Sebastian helped Jessica clean up. It was already 11:00.
"Who know that Sebastian Stark did dishes?"
"I am fully domesticated man, thank you very much. I should be going Jess.
"I just want to say thank you again, talking to Delgado." Jessica said with a genuine smile.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm just mad you didn't win." He said.
"Me too. We definitely have to do this again. Maybe next time even Julie can join us." She said as she walked him toward the door.
"I'd like that. I'll see you tomorrow morning; maybe I can even help you with your office." He said. He went to kiss her cheek but she accidentally turned her head. His lips landed on hers. Their kiss was very brief. As soon as they realized that they were kissing it ended.
"Jess I'm so sorry. I didn't mean – "He was cut off by Jessica's lips covering his. This kiss was longer than the first. Sebastian's arms quickly found their way around Jessica's waist pulling her body flush against his. Her hands snaked up to the back of his neck. They parted for air. They were still hanging on to each other. Sebastian kissed the top of her head.
"Sebastian I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just kissed you like that." She said resting her head against his chest.
"Believe me Jess I'm not complaining." He replied. They both laughed. Jessica's hands were playing with Sebastian's collar.
"I really don't know what to do now Sebastian." She said.
"Me neither Jess." He replied. Their eyes met and he leaned down for another kiss. This kiss was slow at first but then turned heated. Jessica started to undo his tie. Sebastian started undo the buttons on Jessica's blouse. He moved his lips down to her neck and kissed it. Just then the phone rang. They quickly parted. Jessica answered the phone.
"Devlin."
"Jessica, its Leo Cutler." He said. Jessica rolled her eyes.
"Cutler" She mouthed to Sebastian.
"I just wanted to say that I hope there are no hard feelings." He said.
"No hard feelings at all. I hope you have a good time with Sebastian Stark he can be a handful." She said with a small smile. Sebastian faked a hurt expression.
"Well maybe I can convince Delgado to get rid of Stark." He said. This made Jessica angry.
"May I remind you that Sebastian has been a great asset to the DA's office. He only lost one case. He convicted a lot of people even a cop killer."
"Like I said maybe."
"I'm busy right now Leo is that all you called for?" She asked.
"Yes. Have a good night Madame Distric – "He said then hung up.
"He is such an asshole." She said turning to face Sebastian again. Sebastian's shirt was unbuttoned and opened. Jessica's shirt halfway undone and her skirt was pushed up. They just stared at each other. They no longer worked together but they were friends now. Sebastian couldn't take it anymore. He quickly closed the gap between them. His lips crashed onto hers. Once again his lips traveled down to her neck. His lips captured hers again as his hands cupped the back of her head. Jessica let out a small moan in to Sebastian's mouth. Her tongue plunged into his mouth. This time it was Sebastian's turn to moan. He pushed against the wall and finished unbuttoning her blouse. He threw her shirt to the floor and Jessica slid his shirt off of his shoulders.
