My Bubblegum King - Chapter 33: Chapter 33

"Did you pour the entire soap content into this bath?" I asked, giggling and running my foamy hands over Sebastian's hair, making it stick out in ends.
"Is it too soapy?" Sebastian asked with a small cute frown. "I thought you'd like it extra foamy?"
"I do. I love it," I smiled, pressing my lips over his in a soft peck.
He grinned, crossing over his arm to the other side. "Check out my cake. I swear this shit is more effort and work than I would have ever guessed."
"Wait," I watched him bring the cake forward. "How many times did you make this?"
"Well, turns out you don't just mix it all in, it's a step by step thing. Also turns out, you can't just open the oven to check on it before time," he pouted down at the cake. "This is the third one."
"Awn, who knew you could be so sweet?"
He blushed, "well, you know. You know I'm the sweetest person ever. The best guy you would ever come across."
I bit my lip, stroking my chin. "True. I know you are."
"Better," he dipped a fork into the cake, taking a part and giving it to me. "Aah."
I ate and to my surprise it was absolutely wonderful. Even much better than the cakes at the stores. "Oh wow."
"What? What's too much or lacking?"
"It's perfect," I laughed. "Sebastian Crown what are you not good at?"
He smirked, "we're yet to find out, I guess."
"I shouldn't have said anything. I'd just fuel your ego more."
He dropped the cake back. "My ego can't be fueled anymore than it already is."
"Tch, you're hopeless."
"I know."
"Unfortunately," I giggled when his hand snaked around me, pulling me flush around his body. Our slippery body touching around the warm water.
"Kiss your boyfriend," he whispered.
I swallowed, then smiled. Playing coy. "Where is he? Is he here?"
He tickled me, "Flynn."
"Fine, okay!" I put my arms around him, taking his lips in mine. Seb wasted no time in eagerly kissing me back, biting on my lips and meeting my tongue with his. I moaned, my entire body aflame, matching his energy with mine.
His hand roamed around my body in the bath, touching all the places that made my lose my freaking mind. His hand moved down to my crotch and I didn't need to see myself to know that I was as hard as I could ever be. My body ached for him painfully, I needed to be impossibly closer to him. His hand finally held me and I just as immediately lost my mind. My lips left his and my body arched itself on its own, yearning for Sebastian like he was a drug.
"Seb..." I moaned and he came closer to me, still stroking as he kissed my face, going down to my neck and practically eating me up. Leaving me a moaning mess.
"Flynn," Seb moaned out, his hands finding my head to pull my lips back to his. My legs went around him, hands going around his hard body.
One minute our crotch were touching and the next, Seb was positioning himself with his free hand and the next our bodies were moving, moans almost getting higher than the music as we lost ourselves to each other, riding and falling over a cliff into the thrones of passion.
**
Of course I had the best week ever. I barely left Sebastian's place only going to my parents house once in a while to check in on them, talk and help Percy the little I can with Cal. Otherwise I spent all my time with Sebastian. Diego texted once to ask how I was doing and I replied that I was fucking fantastic.
Sebastian and I went on a drive to the outskirts of town where we had picnic under the sun, slow dance to one Spanish song he claimed was his new favorite song ever since some singer performed it on stage at the bar. I liked it too even though I didn't know most of what they were saying. A game of hide and seek was played, in which I lost and then and then that resulted in a hot make out session which led to a crazy sex in his car. Crazy because we couldn't tell whose leg was where and after it we ended up laughing our intestines out.
Seb took me to see a waterfall in another town and when I asked him how he knew the place he said asked his Co worker for places he could take me when I returned and this place was suggested. The warm feeling in my heart almost made me explode and if I could find another word for 'love' that would mean more, I would have used it.
"I can't wait for you to come to college," I said, sitting comfortably on a rock, my legs swinging into the water and my eyes watching the beautiful waterfall. The water looked crystal as it fell, completely white and shiny. I smiled, moving my eyes to Seb who was busy swimming, going in and out of the water like some fish. "I think you'd love it there. And there are so many places I'm yet to show you."
He pushed himself back into the water and resurfaced, pushing his wet hair back so his entire face was out in view. His hair was completely dark and glistening like it was gel holding it back and I imagined him wearing a suit with his hair like that and it gave me butterflies in my tummy. His electric blue eyes looked the clearest and lightest ever and his tanned skin with droplets on water on them were just calling me to him. His lips looked a little blue because of the cold water and his amazing jawline had me licking my lips in anticipation to run my tongue over it.
Seb swam to me, pushing his elbows up on the rock and resting his head on my tummy. My fingers, having a mind of their own sank into his wet hair, creating ridge lines as they moved to and fro. He sighed, "what if I don't fit in there?"
I chuckled, "who ever fits in?"
"No, not like that. Your smart, you have a goal, your entire future planned out and it primarily includes college. I don't have my entire future planned out."
I let what he said sink in, "everyone is different and you don't have to have your entire future planned out before going to college. When you get there, you'd figure it out."
Seb looked up, his beautiful eyes meeting mine. "It's that easy?"
I nodded without missing a beat and kissed his forehead. "Especially since you have me. I guide you through it all babe and you don't have to pick a major immediately, you could take different courses until you find what clicks."
"I- I don't know Flynn. I want—"
I leaned down to kiss him, his lips was cold but it felt good nevertheless less. When I broke the kiss I smiled, "babe, don't get cold feet about college. I know now it seems scary but when you're there, you'd see it's actually easy and don't you want to be with me?"
He nodded.
I smiled, "we'd get an apartment together and we'd study together and you'd realize that all your fears are for nothing." I pouted, "no way you're working in that bar again with a grumpy boss," my finger traced over the scar above his eye. "Look what happened the last time, I was scared shitless."
Seb smiled, "it wasn't that serious."
"Uh huh, tell that to me who's miles away seeing your swollen face from a screen. I almost lost my mind."
He pouted, "I loved working at the bar though."
I shrugged, "if that's what you want. I have little connections back at school, you'd be working in a bar in no time."
He laughed, "connections? Tell me I'm dating a mafia leader now."
I screwed my face to look serious and dangerous as I stroked my chin, although I can guess it didn't work. "Soon to be."
Seb tickled me, "really? Really now?"
"No, no!" I screamed, squirming and kicking as he pushed us back into the water. "I know like five people! I swear!"
"Gang people?" He asked, still tickling and laughing enjoying me beg and laugh uncontrollably.
"Dancers! Just dancers!"
He pushed us back into the water and when I resurfaced, I had a glare on. "Seb!"
Before I could unleash my 'wrath' on him though, he wrapped his hands around me, connecting our lips in a wet kiss that couldn't have been better in any alternate universe.
He broke off the kiss, his eyes moving around my face like he was some AI trying to keep me to memory, then his hand found my hair and pushed them all backwards like his. Then he kissed my forehead, "Paxton-" then he kissed my cheek, "Flynn-" then he kissed my other cheek, "I-" then he kissed my nose and I was already a giggling mess, "love-" then he kissed my chin and looked me in the eyes. "You."
I giggled, cupping his face and drawing circles with my thumb on his perfect check bones. "You're so dramatic."
He sighed relaxing his hand on mine and closing his eyes, I did so too, our breaths getting mixed together. "I thought I was in love before. Barry, that later turned into a nightmare. I don't know what exactly that was maybe another version love but this, me and you, we're something else entirely. This is love. You are love, my love. My own."
I opened my eyes and anyone could have mistaken the tear on his face for the water but not me. I pulled his head, and he opened his now glassy electric eyes. My entire body got warm chills and I wiped the tear off his face. "What's wrong?"
He shook his head, "nothing."
"Is it the college thing?" He shook his head negatively. "Seb, we'd figure everything out together. We're one."
He nodded, "I just--" he broke off and I reached out the water, hugging him with my hands over his broad shoulders.
"I love you, Sebastian Crown." I kissed his hair. "My King."
He chuckled, "no more prince?"
I shook my head. "You're my King now."
He winked, "is this some Royal fetish we're unlocking?"
I blushed, hiding my face in the crook of his neck. "I don't know."
He cleared his throat, lifting me so my legs wrapped around him. And in a deeper voice spoke, "now humble servant, what would you like your king to do for you?"
In reply to that, I moaned.

(Present day)
"It's this movie theater, I booked it ahead of time. The day Percy told me you were coming back."
I watched him. "We could just watch the movie here, under a shared blanket with lots of popcorn and chips. Why waste money on tickets? Ever heard of Netflix and Chill?"
He shrugged, "we've never gone to a movie theater."
"We have," I countered, thinking about it. "Once upon a time."
"See? So long ago and this movie theater is different."
I put both my hands on my waist, "how is it different?"
"The seats are made for two people and there's a significant difference between a pair and another. It's made in a way that you could lie down and with a blanket over you."
The scene was starting to make sense in my head, "Really?"
Sebastian smirked, "yeah, interested now?"
I blushed, "whatever, wasn't it expensive?"
"Not really," his fingers moved to run themselves over his hair. "Now we just have to find the tickets."
I rolled my eyes, "what would you do without me?"
"Nothing."
"Where was the last place you saw them?"
He itched his head one more time, "I don't know. I think in some drawer? Not sure."
"Babe there are so many drawers," I threw my hands up in exasperation. "The kitchen? Room? Here?"
"Baby, I don't know."
"I swear if I find it, I'm biting your ear off," I said, moving to the kitchen to check. With the way things are, the tickets could be in the fridge for all we know.
"You love my ear," he grumbled.
"You have two, I could do with one."
He laughed, "that's such a cruel thing to say Flynn."
I stuck my tongue out to him in reply and he blew a kiss to me making me laugh instead.
The search for the definitely expensive tickets began and after searching the kitchen drawers and fridge, it wasn't in any of them. I decided to check the room while Seb concentrated on the living room, trying not to lose his mind. He wasn't a very patient person and easily got frustrated when things weren't going his way.
"Seb, where exactly did you drop the tickets?!" I yelled out, walking into the room to check for it. Seb was going crazy looking for it in the living room. "Are you even sure you brought it home?"
"Should be in a drawer, I swear I put it somewhere in here!" Seb yelled back.
I chuckled to myself, his carelessness was something else. I started opening the bedside drawers one by one searching for it. There was a big brown envelope and when I removed it to drop on the bed, the contents inside slipped right out. "Shit." I left the drawer, turning around to pick up the fallen papers and they looked like documents. Turning them around, my eyes caught the title. "Property deed?"
My eyes skimmed over the document and it looked like documents that proved that Seb owned a building. A bar.
"The fuck?"
The door to the room open and Sebastian walked in. "Did you find it? I just remembered it could also be in one of my jackets or pants pockets."
I still couldn't believe my eyes and I was a bit frozen.
"Flynn?"
My eyes snapped to his and he had his brows raised in confusion and askance. I waved the documents. "Um- I sa-saw– what's this?"
Seb walked closer and took the paper off my hand, skimming through it with his eyes and I watched his face fall as he muttered, "shit."
"Shit?" I asked, moving away from him. "Is that what I think it is?"
"Flynn, calm down."
My mind was racing, my heart was beating fast. "You bought a bar?!"
He stayed silent, eyes down on the paper.
"Sebastian!"
"I did," he finally said. "All the extra hours, taking shifts here and there. I saved up and I bought the bar. The lousy boss needed cash and he was letting it off at a really good price, so—"
I forced myself to breathe out through my nose and mouth, running my hand through my hair and trying to think. "Okay, okay, so you bought the bar. Okay, but then what does that mean?"
"Flynn-"
"College. Are you going to run the bar from way back in school? You're going to put someone in charge? Is that what it means?"
Seb slowly shook his head, "you know that's not how it works. I have to be present. I have to oversee things. Put things in order."
"Well how would you do that when you're in school?"
"I- I've been trying to tell you—"
No. No.
"— I don't want to go to college Flynn. I've been trying to tell you, just didn't know how."
"Sebastian you bought a bar," I said slowly.
"I didn't want to. But it kept nagging me and I just couldn't get it out my mind. I really want this Flynn, I love working at the bar."
"You really want college too."
"No," he dropped the bomb. "You did. I never said I did."
I couldn't believe my ears. "Seb, you were taking a gap year. One year, to put things together so you could come meet me in school. So we'd be together there."
"Yeah that was the initial plan but then things changed and if you were paying attention you'd have noticed."
"Noticed what?!"
"That I love this more that I've ever loved doing anything in my entire life. Being at that bar, working day or night gives my joy like nothing before!"
"Seb, this is just the one job you've done all your life, of course you'd love it."
"No no," he shook his head. "Don't try to make me feel like I don't know what I'm talking about."
"You don't. We had a dream, a plan, something tangible. College!"
Something flashed in his eyes. "You've been so stuck in this dream of yours that you don't care what I feel or what I want."
"That's because all these while I thought we want the same thing!" I yelled, my eyes stinging with tears. "To be together."
Seb softened walking towards me, "I want that, I want to be together."
"You don't," the tears fell. "If you did you wouldn't have bought a fucking bar without telling me first. We're supposed to be in a relationship."
"I know and I am sorry. But I knew you wouldn't let me and I really want this.'
I nodded, "more than you want me."
"Flynn stop it."
I shook my head, furiously wiping the tears off my cheek. "Do you know how long I've dreamt of you in college with me? Do you know how lonely I am over there without you? Do you have any idea the battles I mentally fight alone?"
"Do you have any idea how happy working at that bar makes me? It's something whole. Something I've built up for myself by myself without anybody's help, my thing."
I sighed, my brain shutting down. "I'm not doing this long distance relationship thing another year."
"Flynn."
"D-don't call me," I couldn't control the tears now. "You're going to have to choose, me or your fucking bar."
"I don't know what I'm going to do in college!" He screamed. "If not you, I'm totally lost there and that feeling sucks. At the bar, I know where I stand."
"We'd figure it out. We'd be together."
"It's not enough."
Who knew that three words would be capable of breaking my whole world apart.
I chuckled, not the real one, the very dry painful one that hurt deep into my core. "I guess you've chosen."
"Don't."
"Don't what? You've picked haven't you?" I turned to leave. "I'm not enough."
"What does this mean?" Seb asked, voice cracking like it hurt to speak.
I shrugged, "t-that w-we we're d-do-don-?" I couldn't even complete it because my knees were bucking and I needed to leave because I couldn't breathe and I wasn't going to faint in front of Sebastian.
Sebastian.
Sebastian.
"What does this mean?"
"We're done."
