A/N: Thanks for the reviews and follows/faves on the last chapter; as well as those who have author fave/followed me as well. This chapter sees the next part to the side with Sebastian and Mikki; and ultimately the last chapter as to where the girls don't realize they are dating best friends, and the guys don't know they are dating identical twins. All I will say is the next chapter the fun will really start!
Anyway, as always thanks for reading and you all know what to do at the end.
Love,
KJ xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Chapter 4:
Having ran into, and ultimately spilling her coffee over him; a few days before, after not hearing from said guy in regards to the dry cleaning bill; Mikki was sitting absently watching television on Wednesday evening, and grabbing her cell phone, along with the business card she'd received from them, sent through a quick text message. Hi Sebastian, this is Mikki; you may recall me as the clumsy mouse from the coffee shop who split her coffee over you. Anyway, I haven't heard from you in regards to the dry cleaning bill and was wondering what I owe you? Let me know, Mikki.
Sighing as she sent off the message, she saw a message from Maddi come through; who so it seemed was actually kind of smitten with the guy she had met up with breakfast for the weekend just gone, and who she was planning to go out with again on Friday night as well. Do you think it's too much? That outfit? read the message, and Mikki looked to the photo with a laugh; knowing that even if she did have an opinion on it, her twin sister would think she was being slightly prudish. Question is, do you? And I know the answer, already is no. Just do it, Mads...if you like this guy, and if he likes you; then I am sure he will love it too!
Looking back to the television, and the episode of 'Suits' that was playing on it; her phone beeped again, and she looked it to see a message back from Sebastian; that read, Hi Mikki, yes I do recall and please do not think anything of it. The dry cleaning bill was that of very minimal and I don't expect you to pay for it. Thanks though for the offer though. Sebastian
"Okay" said Mikki, as she placed her phone down next to her on the sofa; and looking to the address of the business card that she had, knew what she had to do; as she wasn't going to have this little blimp riding on her conscience.

Sitting on a Wednesday night, going through that of some latent paperwork for work that he'd not gotten around to doing that day; he was pulled out of his highlighting of the relevant information, when his phone beeped, indicating that a message had come through; and picking up his phone and placing down the highlighter, he looked to it to see a message from the girl who'd run into the week prior and ultimately split her coffee on him. Hi Sebastian, this is Mikki; you may recall me as the clumsy mouse from the coffee shop who split her coffee over you. Anyway, I haven't heard from you in regards to the dry cleaning bill and was wondering what I owe you? Let me know, Mikki.
Thinking for a moment, and knowing that he didn't want her to feel obliged to pay for the dry cleaning of his suit; when he kind of felt responsible for the incident, he started typing a reply.
Hi Mikki, yes I do recall and please do not think anything of it. The dry cleaning bill was that of very minimal and I don't expect you to pay for it. Thanks though for the offer though. Sebastian.
Hitting enter on his message, and placing his phone back down; he sighed to himself as he picked back up the highlighter, went back to working on his work, before turning in for the night.

The next day, during her lunch break; deciding to head to the law office where Sebastian worked, so that she was able to pay him back for the dry cleaning costs. Mikki gave a sigh as after walking through the lobby of the building to where the elevators were and getting up to the floor; headed to the left of the floor, after stepping out; upon seeing that it was in that direction the law firm she needed to be heading to was located at.
Opening the large glass door and walking over to where a woman aged around the same as her, sat at the large desk, she took a deep breath and approached her with a smile.
"Hi, I was wondering if I'd be able to see Sebastian Smythe please" she said, looking to the other woman seated behind the desk. "If he's available that is?"
"That depends what you mean by available?" asked Santana, looking to her with a smile. "Is this in regards to an appointment you have with him?"
"Umm no" replied Mikki, shaking her head. "I don't have an appointment with him" she continued a Santana looked to her raising her eyebrows. "I actually came to pay him"
"Pay him" she asked before her, a smile crossing her face that one could Mikki would almost call a look of wanting to know more one. "Is this for services rendered?"
"No, of course not" said Mikki, wondering what this woman before her was possibly thinking she might be. "I ran into him the other week with my coffee, and I offered to pay for the dry cleaning"
"Oh, so you're that girl then?" replied Santana, with a laugh; and picked up the phone near to her. "Give me a moment"
"Thank you" said Mikki, with a small nod; thankful that the other woman was now seeing to try and be helpful; and looked to her as she tapped her fingers on the desk, a smile on her face.
"Yes, hello Sebastian" said Santana, to him on the phone; and listening to him say something on the end, continued. "Uh huh, okay. There is someone out here to see you"; and with a smile looked to Mikki. "No, I don't have that information" she said with a laugh. "Why don't you come out here and see for yourself, huh?"
Looking at the woman, on the phone and thinking her phone manner was a little that of unprofessional in talking with her work colleagues, Mikki frowned; as Santana gave a laugh. "Yes, okay. I will" she said. "See you in a moment"; and hanging up the phone, looked to Mikki. "He will be right, out"
"Thank you" said Mikki, with a small nod, as Santana gave a small chuckle; all whilst smiling as she did; and hearing that of a male voice, Mikki looked and saw Sebastian walking, his focus directly on that of the other woman, and ask. "Why don't you have the information, such as that"
"Because" she replied, with a smile to him and pointed towards Mikki. "I rather thought you'd like the surprise of who it is"
"Okay" replied Sebastian, with a frown; and looked to Mikki, giving a slight laugh when he did see who it was before him. "Umm hi"
"Hi Sebastian" said Mikki, with a small laugh also.
"Yeah, Mikki right" he said; and she gave a nod. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I know you said last night in that message that I sent you" she replied with a small smile to him. "That there was no need for me to pay for your dry clean bill; but I do feel really terrible about it" she continued. "So I do hope you will let me pay it"
"Okay, umm yeah wow" replied Sebastian, with a nod and looked at her; before quickly looking back to Santana who had a bemused look on her face.
"So here is thirty dollars" said Mikki, reaching into the handbag she had with her and taking out her purse and grabbing out the bills, holding them then out to Sebastian. "I think that should be more than enough to cover it"
"Umm, yeah it definitely is" replied Sebastian, with a nod. "Thank you" he said, giving a smile as he took the money from her, and quickly shoved it into his pants pocket.
"Okay, well umm I should go" said Mikki, with a small smile to him. "I'm on my lunch break from work, and need to be getting back to it" she continued and quickly looked to Santana on the desk, who was still watching what was happening before her rather that of intently, before turning back to Sebastian. "It was nice seeing you again Sebastian, bye"
"Yeah" replied Sebastian, as Mikki gave a nod and went to walk away. "Did you maybe want to have dinner with me Saturday night?" he asked, and Mikki turned from about to head away and out the door and looked at him.
"Dinner" said Mikki, looking to him and Sebastian gave a small nod.
"Unless that was presumptuous of me" he said. "And you already have a boyfriend, and I have made a huge idiot of myself here"
"I don't have a boyfriend" replied Mikki, shaking her head; as Sebastian looked at her with a nod, a smile forming on his face. "So dinner, would be nice"
"That's great" said Sebastian, looking to her with a smile; as Mikki also gave him a smile as well. "Not that you don't have a boyfriend" he continued. "But more rather about dinner"
"Yes, I got what you mean there" replied Mikki, with a laugh, as Sebastian gave a nod also with a small laugh as well. "So did you want to maybe book somewhere?" she asked. "And then you can send me through the details of when and where?"
"Sure, yeah" said Sebastian, with a nod. "I can do that"
"Okay great" replied Mikki, with a smile. "I will see you for dinner, Saturday night then"
"Yeah, you will" said Sebastian, with a smile also. "I'll let you know as soon as I can the details"
"Sure, I should really get going" said Mikki. "Talk to you soon"
"Of course" replied Sebastian, with a nod. "Bye"
"Bye" replied Mikki, with a small laugh and smile to him, before she headed out of the office; Sebastian watching her head over to and getting on the elevator; before turning back to head to his office.
"So that's who you've been visualizing for the past couple of days" said Santana, with a smile to him. "When you've been jacking yourself off?"
"What no" replied Sebastian, looking to the woman before him. "Do you always have to be so crass and dirty minded"
"Hmm, I do" replied Santana with a nod. "And can't say I wouldn't get off to her either" she continued with a smile. "She is rather cute, and I can see why you do like her and want to go there"
"I don't want to go anywhere" said Sebastian, looking to Santana. "Other than that of dinner with her" he continued. "Since I told her she didn't have to pay for my dry cleaning; and I am therefore going to use that money to take her out instead"
"Awww, isn't that romantic now" said Santana, with a laugh. "But I hate to tell you the only thing thirty bucks will get you, is maybe a pizza and some drinks; nothing more"
"Well of course I am going to pay for the rest of it" replied Sebastian looking to her. "And also as well I would appreciate it, if you were to keep your nose out of my business"
"If my nose wasn't" said Santana, looking at him. "You wouldn't be on the way now to potentially getting that dick of yours working the way it's meant to again" she continued with a smile. "And just so you know, I prefer my payment of thanks in that of one hundred dollar bills"
"Yep, keep dreaming about that one Santana" replied Sebastian, with a laugh. "I'm going to go and book this dinner for Mikki and I" he continued and went to walk away; and saw the black hair woman go to say something, but held his hand up as to silence her. "And I don't want to hear anymore of your comments"
"Okay fine, no more comments" said Santana, with a laugh as Sebastian walked away. "Just thank me when you get laid then" and chuckling to herself as she heard Sebastian muttering about her being an evil person, she got back to work; thinking maybe things did indeed have a funny way of working out, and that Sebastian now might indeed find that one person he truly needed to find in his life.

Having gotten a message from Sebastian on the Thursday evening, saying they would go out for dinner at Gramercy Tavern; on the Saturday evening for dinner.
After meeting up with Maddi, as she did every Saturday morning, for breakfast; and telling her identical twin sister of her pending date; she was now in the throes of her wardrobe with her, getting help to choose what to wear tonight, along with that of a handful of clothes that her sister had also bought over; who when had found out about the pending date for Mikki, had declared that she maybe didn't have anything that was fancy enough for the restaurant that she was being taken too.
"You seriously need to invest in some more clothes" said Maddi, as she moved hangers along in her sister's wardrobe, and looking to the items of clothing that Mikki owned. "So much black and grey, and clothes of the same kind of design" she said, as she picked up one of the many black pencil skirts from the rack. "How many of these do you need?"
"It's business like" replied Mikki, looking to her sister with a laugh. "I'm not exactly in the line of work, where bright colors are the look of saying I'm a professional journalist"
"Yes, but a little fun every now and then" said Maddi, looking to her also as she placed the skirt back to the wardrobe. "And a bit of color won't hurt you"
"I like my wardrobe" replied Mikki, with a small sigh as she sat to her bed. "And I'm not ever sure if this date tonight is a good idea"
"What, no" said Maddi, shaking her head and going to sit next to her sister on the bed, and placing her arm around her shoulder. "Don't think that" she continued giving her a smile. "It's a good thing, and besides; your first date with a guy you literally spill coffee over, is at a really fancy restaurant"
"Yeah, too fancy" said Mikki, looking to her sister. "It's like he's trying way too hard to impress me"
"So" replied Maddi, with a laugh. "I'd be relishing it" she continued with a smile. "After all my second date with Blaine, wasn't even that fancy"
"Well maybe you should go out with Sebastian then tonight as well" said Mikki, looking to her sister. "Since you seem to like the idea of it" she continued, and Maddi looked at her twin sister. "It's not like he'd even know the difference, considering we are identical"
"No, no way" replied Maddi, standing up. "We are not doing a twin thing" she continued, and picked up a little white lacey jumpsuit that was next to her on the bed, and holding it out to Mikki. "I know this isn't good for tonight, but coffee date definitely" she said, with a smile. "Keep it in the wardrobe"
"Yeah, fine" replied Mikki, with a nod as she stood and grabbed a hanger, from her wardrobe and put the lacey jumpsuit to it. "Don't you also have this in black as well"
"I do" said Maddi, with a laugh and stood up, and went back to looking in Mikki's wardrobe also. "But I figure you're the more pure of the two of us" she said, with a smile to her sister. "So white works better for you"
"So you don't think I should bail on this date tonight then" said Mikki, looking to her sister; and Maddi shook her head.
"Definitely not" she replied. "From what you have said of this guy, he sounds like he's a total sweetheart" she continued. "Especially since you did actually spill your coffee on him; and he then not wanting anything in return from you in regards to that"
"Except he did ask me out" said Mikki, with a small laugh; and Maddi gave a nod.
"That's not a bad thing, Mik" she replied, with a smile to her; and took a red dress from the wardrobe. "Now this is more like it" she said, with a laugh. "This is sexy but also tasteful as well; perfect dress for wearing tonight"
"You think so?" asked Mikki, looking at the dress and then her sister.
"I don't think it is" replied Maddi, with a laugh. "I know it is" she continued. "And you are going to make Sebastian want you so bad in this, believe me"
"Well I hope that's not the case" said Mikki. "Considering it is a first date, and I'm not even sure if I like the guy yet" she continued, as she took the dress from her sister, and stripping off the clothes she was wearing and put it on.
"Hmm stunning" said Maddi, with a nod and looking to her sister with a smile. "Now some strappy heels to go with the dress, a cute bag" continued Maddi, looking back to the wardrobe. "Then some nice subtle sexy makeup and hair, and you my twinny; are good to go and knock the socks off this guy"
"Okay, yeah let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here Mads" replied Mikki, with a laugh as she took a pair of strappy black heels from her wardrobe and sat to the bed and started putting them on. "One date, does not mean a lifetime"
"No, but it could potentially be the start to one" said Maddi, with a smile to her; and then continued to help Mikki get ready, before she headed off to meet Sebastian, for their first date.
#SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY##SYMMETRY#
Getting to the restaurant a little before seven and when their reservation was; Mikki waited out front for Sebastian, and glancing to the watch the she wore on her right wrist; saw that it was a couple minutes too, and started to think that maybe Sebastian wasn't going to show up, and going to get her cell phone from her bag, to text Maddi and tell her that she wasn't doing this and she was leaving, upon going to start typing the message; she felt a hand to her shoulder and her name spoken.
Turning to see Sebastian, beside her; she gave a small laugh, and placed her phone back to her handbag. "Hi Sebastian"
"Yeah hi Mikki" he replied, with his own smile. "You look amazing"
"Thanks" she replied with a small smile of her own. "You also"
"Hmm, thank you" replied Sebastian, with a small laugh. "You'd never guess that this girl the other week spilt coffee all over this suit"
"That's that suit?" asked Mikki; as Sebastian, gave a nod. "Wow, I need to know your dry cleaners" she continued with a laugh. "Because that's truly amazing, that they were able to get out that coffee"
"Indeed" replied Sebastian, with a laugh also. "Shall we go inside?" he asked gesturing to the restaurants front door. "And we can talk some more in there?"
"Sure, lets" said Mikki, with a nod; and Sebastian walked over to the door, opening it and then holding it open for Mikki to walk in, before walking in himself; so that the two of them were able to hopefully, maybe get to know one another a little better.
End Note: Naturally as I have said before I want the twins, to come off as that little bit different to one another; and as you can clearly see here, Maddi is more confident to that of Mikki being the shy one.
Anyway, thanks always as reading, and like I said the next chapter; is where the fun begins to begin!
Love always,
