Chapter 4: Jealousy
Summary: Sebastian jealousies begin to arise as Kathryn finds a use for James.
The following monday morning Sebastian was getting ready for school. As he was getting dressed his mind kept wandering back to the previous night and something Kathryn said to him. Do you ever wonder what would happen if things were different? Did he? Of course almost every day.
Ever since he had announced that he was changing his ways and remaining faithful to Annette is life seemed to come to a standstill. At first it was great because it was like he was trying something new and he really loved Annette. For the first few weeks he was honestly happy but then slowly the high of the new relationship began to wear off. Sebastian started to look around him and notice all the things he was missing. It wasn't just fucking the random girls which granted he did miss somewhat, no it was the power. The respect and fear that he instilled in people was now gone. Now he was looked as a nothing, just another whipped boyfriend.
However if he was honest it wasn't just his reputation that he missed, it was also someone, Kathryn. As much of a pain in the ass as she could be he did miss her. He missed being around her and how close they use to be. It wasn't like he never saw her but it was different now. For starters she was pissed at him for abandoning her as she called it and for telling Annette all her secrets. Ok maybe he shouldn't have given her his journal but it wasn't like Annette was going to do anything with it. Still ever since that day in her bedroom were they fought and she called him a toy things had never been the same. Sebastian knew part of it was his fault he was still angry about what she said to him and how callous she had been towards him. They played other people not each other she had gone to far. Afterwards Blain had told him he thought he only went back to Annette just to spite Kathryn but that wasn't true he loved Annette, didn't he?
Sebastian walked out of his room and noticed Kathryn's door was open. He looked in and saw her getting ready at her vanity table. As she studied her reflection he couldn't help but smile. The girl could be almost painfully beautiful at times and it killed him to see her waste herself on guys who were so unworthy. She was constantly fucking these morons who he knew for a fact could never truly satisfy or please her. The thing that truly worried him though was the idea that someday a guy would come along who could satisfy. Sebastian feared the day when some guy actually breaks down her walls and she falls in love. In all honesty he always thought he would be that guy. Someday she would drop the bitch act and admit she loved him. Maybe he was a fool because it never happened.
He brought his hand up and knocked on her door before entering. Kathryn turned around and scowled at him "what were knocking now?"
Sebastian smiled at her deciding to play nice. Kathryn had been almost nice to him the other night he wondered if he could get her to act like that again. Also he wanted to find out what exactly was going on between her and James. He knew James had a thing for her and he was worried Kathryn might actually like him back. In no way was he going to let James become that guy who got her. It wouldn't happen. He came up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders "I thought maybe I would offer you a ride to school."
Kathryn stopped combing her hair and looked up at his dubiously "really? What do I have to do in return?"
He shrugged "nothing. I just thought you would like a ride, so how about it?"
This was of course all quite puzzling to Kathryn. "Well the old Sebastian would want a blow job or something in return."
"Well if your feeling generous..." He told her with a wicked grin.
At this Kathryn's eyes went wide and she spun around in her seat. "Careful goldilocks might not like to hear you talk like that."
Sebastian knew he was treading on thin ice but he found he really didn't care. "I don't see her around."
"Well look at you" Kathryn said standing up "if I didn't know any better I might think you actually had some balls."
"Oh sis there's so much about me that you don't know" he said lightly caressing her face.
She studied him "like what?"
Sebastian just grinned and sat down on the bed. "So how did your night go on Friday? I lost track of you."
"I didn't know I was being tracked. Besides you looked a little busy with the virgin, get any?"
He rolled his eyes and pulled out a cigarette surprising Kathryn. She couldn't remember the last time she saw him smoke. "I'm in a relationship Kathryn I can get any when ever I want."
"Yes however I don't think it's quite the same thing is it. I'm curious doesn't it ever become a little monotonous? I mean fucking the same person every night?" Kathryn asked as she began to apply lotion to her legs.
As Sebastian watched her run the moisture over her smooth tan legs he became entranced. He said "not if you love the person."
"And do you love her?" Sebastian didn't seem to hear her, he was to wrapped up in watching her legs and thighs. Kathryn smirked "hello earth to Sebastian."
Finally he snapped out of it and studied her for a second. "So what's going on with you and this James guy?"
Kathryn was more than a little taken back by the question. Smiling she asked "why? Don't you like him?"
"He's an asshole Kathryn I think you should stay away from him."
"Oh do you? Well I'm sure everyone told Annette the same thing about you when you two started dating."
Sebastian glared at her angry that she was comparing her and James to his relationship with Annette. "That's different me and Annette are dating."
"Well who knows maybe James and I-"
"Like hell you will!" Sebastian stood up starling her slightly.
"Excuse me? Are you actually standing there telling me who I can be with?"
"He doesn't...you shouldn't...just stay away from him" he explained weakly
Kathryn's face wrinkled in confusion "if I didn't know better I might think you were jealous or something."
Wanting to save face he snorted in disdain "please jealous of what?"
Kathryn got up and walked over to him her eyes locked on his "of James and the idea that I might actually like him."
It amazed him that she could figure that our so quickly. Yes James was annoying but the thing that bugged him the most was that in many ways he was just like him or the him before Annette. Kathryn had been complaining for months about wanting the old Sebastian back and here comes this guy who was just like the old him. Sebastian was terrified that James would take his place as far as Kathryn was concerned and possibly be that guy who he could never be. The guy who stole her heart.
Sebastian looked over at Kathryn trying to tell if this was all just another head game. In the end he decided to cut through all the shit and just ask her "do you like him?"
She shrugged as she turned around and grabbed her bag "he's...alright." A wicked smile graced her lips "definitely not as boring as some of those retards at school that's for sure." As she said it she realized it was true she did have some weird respect for James. Maybe it was the fact that he didn't seem the least bit intimidated by her or that in some ways he was very much like Sebastian. However in the end he was very much not Sebastian and never would be. The truth was no one could replace him in Kathryn's eyes but she wasn't about to divulge that information to him.
As she said this a look flashed over Sebastian's face that she couldn't read. Anger, jealousy, annoyance she couldn't be sure. There was an awkward pause between the two of them before he said "come on lets go were going to be late."
"Fine" Kathryn sighed as she headed out behind him. As they left the house something occurred to her. Sebastian never answered her when she asked if he loved Annette. A smile came across her face.
* * * * * *
Shortly after arriving both Kathryn and Sebastian headed into the cafeteria to have coffee. There conversation on the way to school had been the usual quick banter but they spoke nothing more about James or anything pertaining to emotions. They were discussing the whereabouts of his father. After Tiffani had arrived back home a few days ago she had arrived strangely enough without Edward. When they asked her about it she said something about business and then left the subject there. The step siblings of course found this very strange and were speculating on what might of happened.
"Maybe they had a fight or something" Sebastian guessed.
"He's probably fucking some twenty year old college student" Kathryn scoffed.
He nodded "actually knowing my father its more likely she's our age or possibly younger."
Kathryn rolled her eyes at the image of her dear step father diddling some cheerleader. It went without saying that in Sebastian and Edward's case the apple didn't fall far from the tree. The two men where alike in more ways than one. Both handsome, intelligent and almost dangerously charming. If Edward hadn't married her bitch mother she might actually like him.
An idea occurred to Kathryn and she smirked "I wonder if they'll get divorced."
"Doubtful your mothers in too much in love...with him money."
She shot him a dirty look "just think we would no longer be brother and sister."
He leaned in a little "I don't know I think I might miss-"
Kathryn was curious what he was going to say but as usual they were interrupted by Miss Seventeen magazine herself. "Hey I thought I might find you in here" Annette said as she leaned over and kissed him. Sebastian smiled easily at her although he was slightly disappointed in her timing. She pulled up a seat close to him and then glanced over at Kathryn as if just noticing her. "Hello Kathryn" she icily.
She just smiled back and took a sip of her coffee. Annette turned her attention back to Sebastian "how come you didn't pick me up today? Were you running late?"
Sebastian immediately glanced over at Kathryn hoping she wouldn't say anything about him giving her a ride. As he looked at the smile forming on her lips he knew it was too late. "He was giving me a ride Annette" Kathryn told her with fake sweetness.
A look of hurt appeared on Annette's face. She glanced at Sebastian then Kathryn waiting for one of them to continue. He glared over at his step sister and told Annette "I was running late but I thought I would be charitable and offer Kathryn a ride."
"Oh that's nice of you" she replied quietly.
Never being able to resist an opportunity Kathryn continued on in a sweet voice "yes it was. He didn't even make me give him his customary blow job."
Annette's eyes went wide and she glared over at Sebastian who was trying not to laugh along with Kathryn. It was so obviously a joke but she didn't seem to get it. "You think that is funny?"
Sebastian chuckled slightly "she's just playing with you Annette."
"Annette who don't you try to remove that stick from your ass" Kathryn offered.
This made Sebastian laugh a little more pissing Annette off. She stood up and glared at him "I have to go to class. Find me when you grow up a little."
As she stormed away in a huff Sebastian called out "Annette" half heatedly. He sighed and turned back to an amused Kathryn. Shaking his head he told her "your very bad."
"And that's what you love about me" she told him.
They both smirked at each other but before either could say anything they were once again interrupted this time by James. "Well she certainly didn't look happy. What did you do Valmont? Forget to say please and thank you?"
At the sight of James Sebastian's smile immediately fell. "Fuck off" he scoffed.
"Oh some one has there panties in a twist." He turned to Kathryn and smiled "hello beautiful, how is your morning going?"
As Kathryn noticed Sebastian's supreme agitation at the sight of James a plan formed in her head. She decided to see just how far she could push him. Giving James her sexiest smile she got up and moved to his lap "it's going just fine thank you."
He smirked realizing she was very much up to something. James enjoyed any attention she threw his way so he wasn't about to argue "that's good. Given any thought to my offer?"
Sebastian felt the anger start to boil up in him as he saw Kathryn practically give James a lap dance right in front of him. What in god's name was she thinking? What could she see in this reject? Hearing the last part of the sentence Sebastian asked "what offer?"
Both Kathryn and James ignored him as she smiled and said "I'm thinking about it in fact" she leaned over and whispered in his ear "I think it just might work out perfectly."
"What deal?" Sebastian practically screamed.
Staring back at him she said "oh nothing you would probably find interesting Sebastian."
James smirked at him "yes why don't you run along after your girlfriend. I'm sure she's waiting for you with your leash."
"What the fuck is that suppose to mean?" Sebastian snarled.
He leaned in toward him "oh come on mate everyone knows the deal with the two of you. She's your master and your the whipped puppy." James turned his attention back to Kathryn and laughed "should make for some interesting sex, don't you think?"
That was the last straw for Sebastian. In an instant he was on his feat and going for James throat. As he jumped up and grabbed him Kathryn got up immediately and let out a surprised shriek. Sebastian knocked James to the ground and began to hit him across the face. He got two hits in before James got up and hit him back. Kathryn watched the fight unfold with a mixture of amusement and curiosity to see you would come out on top. Unfortunately before she could find out two football players broke it up, fucking pussies.
"Hey guys calm down" one of them said as they tried to hold Sebastian back.
Sebastian pulled out of there grasp "your dead asshole!"
"What the fuck is your problem? Can't handle the truth?"
"Fuck you!" He yelled at him before turning away. Sebastian glanced once more at Kathryn and then stormed off down the hall.
James shook his head and whipped the blood from his nose "Christ."
Kathryn began to laugh and James glanced at her curiously "I take it this is what you wanted?"
"Oh it was more than I could of hoped for" she told him with a giggle.
"Well I take it our deal is on?"
An evil smile spread across her face as she approached him "oh its very much on. In fact how would you like to have dinner at my house tonight?"
