Chapter Two- The devil within
I drive all the way to the coast to have breakfast in one of our favorite café, a place we have discovered a long time ago and only visit with each other, Margaret the owner wouldn't fuss about the celebrity status because she knows us before we hit the spot light.
"It's so good to see you again" she greeted us with hugs when we walk in.
"It's good to see you too Marg" we said smiling.
"Oh dear, what happened to your face? Another fight Sebastian? I thought you left those" she lectured him.
"No Marg just perks of the job, I'm filming action scenes" he explained covering the truth and it hurt me to see him doing that.
"Oh well you need to be careful" she said finally guiding us to our table.
"Yes I'll be" he answered with a fake smile.
"I'll bring you your favorite in a minute" she said with a smile.
"Thanks Marg can you add the biggest ice cream on the menu too" I said, and she just nodded.
"Ice cream at this hour?" Seb ask me disapprovingly in a joking manner.
"Yes, I think we both need it and deserve it" I said smiling big at him, he knew I only indulge in eating junkie food when I felt like life was to much.
"Yeah, I guess you're right" he said with a tiny smile and then looked out of the window lost in his thoughts.
"Hey, focus here" I whispered grabbing his hand.
He looked at me and nod, but I could see in his eyes he was calculating all the collateral damage he'll need to fix, because yeah he's relationship was very public, and the fans were crazy about the whole stucky shit coming to reality, because Chris and him were a real couple.
I hate the guy so much, since the beginning he wasn't trustworthy, he was a player hundred percent, but I guess I let go of it because Sebastian love him and I respect that, I didn't even say any nasty thing about their relationship to Seb, or pressure him to tell me their private things, but I guess I should have.
I didn't even know how he'll bring all this up to his parents and my mother, this was so fuck up, I couldn't believe it, even though I could see Sebastian injuries and know for sure that this was fucking real.
Shit how was he going to tell his actors friends in common without telling the truth, fuck he'll need to talk to the motherfucker at one point, I'll definitely give a call to our lawyer because there is no fucking way I'm going to let him near Sebastian.
"You're going full psycho in that head of yours" he said amuse getting me out of my thoughts, but I knew he was also worried about me losing it.
"I guess I am, old habits die hard" I said looking at him directly in the eyes calculating his reaction.
"I know, I have no right to come to you with my problems, and make it a lot harder for you to fight your demons" He said sadly avoiding looking at me.
"That's not true, your my family, and I'll go to hell and back if needed, to make you feel better" I said deadly serious.
"What did I do to deserve you?" He asked to himself.
"You clearly did something wrong babe, because I'm not a blessing" I half joke, half said the truth smiling at him trying to lighten the mood.
"You know..." He started saying but I cut him off.
"I know, there's no need for you to say it" I said smiling reassuring him "You know, I could take care of every collateral damage you're worrie about?" I asked him seriously.
"Yes, I know, I know I could let you handle the whole situation, and just tell you what my wishes are, and you'll make them all come true" he said squeezing my hand "But I don't want you to get in any troubles, I know how reckless you are when it comes to me, and it doesn't help that you didn't like him since day one, I just don't want you to fall off the edge" he said letting out an exhausted sight, voicing out part of his worries.
"I'm not falling, I'm just protective of you, I have grown up from that reckless episode, if that is what's worrying you, just tell me what you want to do and I'll help you get there with a little bit more ensuring" I assure him, to letting him know I was okay, I was in control and I got his back.
"Let's eat breakfast first" he said and I knew I'll have my way in all this if I play my cards well, he was to much of a goodie two shoes to do what was necessary, but I lack a conscience, and I'll do what it's needed to ensure his safety.
Marg bring us pancakes with chocolate chip, banana, bacon and whipped cream. The best chocolate milkshakes that have ever exist and a huge cup of ice cream cookies and cream, our all-time favorite. We eat it without talking just enjoying each other company and sharing caresses with silly smiles, but my mind was working miles per hour to come up with a plan.
Sebastian laughed from the silly expression I must had made while my brain freeze from the ice-cream, I looked up at him to find myself, face to face with those piercing blue eyes of his. Fuck! he was so pretty, and I didn't mean it just physically, he was beautiful inside and out, he had his ups and downs, after all he was human, but he was still so amazing. I was still trying to figure out what had gone through Chris head to do all that to him; I couldn't understand it, my phone start ringing getting me out of thoughts.
I saw the caller ID and answer greeting the man I trust my life with "Hey trouble boy!" I said cheerfully, I really appreciate him, he was my partner in crime.
"Hey beautiful! Tell me, what's going on? What do you need me for?" He said with his playful tone.
"Oh the usual, just need you to babysit me, so I don't commit a crime" I answer playfully, but he knew I was serious.
"No problem darling, what time at your place?" He asked without hesitation and that's why I like him.
"Let's say about an hour from now, if that is okay with you" I said.
"Perfect see you soon, I'll bring my usual protocol gear" He said to let me know he was going to be armed.
"Yeah that's great, but wear casual clothes you're going to pretend to be my sweetheart" I said joking and laughing.
"Oh it's an undercover situation, I like that, see you sweetheart" He joked back and end the call.
"Should I be worried that Daniel play along to your craziness" Seb ask amuse at my interaction with Dan even though he couldn't know what Daniel said; either way there was serious worry in his tone.
"No you shouldn't, he actually doesn't let me do anything stupid" I assure him with a smile because it was true Daniel didn't indulge on my madness episodes, he actually calm me down and help me later if I need to really do the nasty job of breaking some bones figuratively or literally.
"At least" he said eye rolling me.
"Don't go all grumpy old man on me" I joked, and he laughed "Now tell me, how are we going to do this?" I said becoming serious again.
"I want to hide the incident, I don't want to talk about it with anybody else but you, I'll end things with Chris obviously, I don't want to see him ever again, I want to play it as we broke up without any hard feelings, and I wish him the best, but make it clear that we wouldn't work together in any other project, and I'll move on, I hope this doesn't fuck up my Marvel contract" he said in a shaky breath.
"Alright, I can call our lawyer and ask him to make a confidential agreement that states that Chris can tell the media, or anyone about what really happened in your two years relationship, and made up some kind of script he could follow whenever he'll be asked about it, a side I can't ask for a restriction order, I'll go to your apartment to get your things today, all of them, so you wouldn't need to even step a foot there anymore" I said with a stern voice while texting our lawyer with the details of what I need of him, adding some stuff just in case we need to bring down Christopher career.
"You don't have to see him for any other legal affairs after you sign the confidential contract, I'll arrange the legal aspects of your ownership part of the apartment, and your things perfectly fit in my apartment, as long as you don't want to have your own place, you're more than welcome to stay with me" I said smiling.
"And about how are you going to break the news to your parents and my mother, who is likely the one that's going to intrude the most, it's up to you, I don't know how you want to let it be known to your friends in common but whatever you decide I'll back you up" I said grabbing his hand.
"I don't want to lie to my parents or Nessa, but I'll guess there are things they don't need to know, I'll just tell them that he and I had a nasty fight that turn violent, and I end things for the better" He said looking sad.
"You're not lying, you're just not telling them the details" I comfort him.
"And about our friends in common I just tell them that we weren't working out and it was best to go our separate ways" he said with a sight "but I'm not sure about the restriction order, it'll bring too much attention" he said insecure.
"Alright no restriction order, but I'll make it clear for him that he can't get near you, and I don't think Mackie it's going to buy that story when you have to come back to Atlanta in a few days, and he'll see your bruise cheek" I said to him making him think better.
"No, please don't put yourself in a position in which he could hurt you, talk to the lawyer and when that it's ready I'll talk to Chris in person, so he'll agree to go with it" He said looking at me pleading.
"I already texted the lawyer, he'll be waiting for us tomorrow to check on the document, so I guess is best we let the motherfucker know that he need to talk with his lawyer, but relax I already promise you that I wouldn't do anything stupid" I said a bit mad.
"I don't want to see him today" Seb said trembling a bit.
"You won't, I will, please let me handle this, I promise I won't do anything stupid, and I'll make him agree to your will, without going psycho on him" I assure him trying to calm him down.
"Alright, and about Mackie I guess I have to see how my cheek heals from now to the moment I have to go back to Atlanta, and I'll see then, how I manage with him " He said breathing deeply.
"There's one more thing we need to do, I know you won't like it but you have to trust me on this, because it's better safe than sorry, you need to take the rape test" I said seriously but softly.
"I don't..." He started protesting.
"I'll promise you this is going to be handled confidentiality, I would never expose you like that" I said assuring him.
"Alright, yeah, I trust you" He said anxiously but sure.
"Alright, let's go babe, Dan it's probably on his way to our place" I said and put the money on the table.
"I like how that sounds, our place" he said smiling at me.
"Yeah yeah, I know it sounds sexy" I said smirking at him playfully.
"You're definitely a lot to handle" he said smiling.
"I know darling, but you can't live without me" I said smirking at him "Marg thanks for everything" I said saying goodbye to her.
"Take care kids" she said to us, and we went out.
"One more thing, Dan it's under a confidential contract besides that, he have my full trust for a reason that I'll tell you one day, but I need you to know, that he'll play a part in all this collateral damage handling" I said without a trace of playfulness.
"I trust you, I know you're taking good care of me" He said getting in to the car, and that was the permission I need, even though he wasn't fully aware of what he just agree to.
We arrive home, pretty quickly probably because I speed up a bit, and as expected when we were out of the elevator Dan was already waiting for us at the apartment door. He looked like a total bad guy, he was dress in leather from top to bottom, that I actually knew it was he's motorcycle protective gear, he had this comeback boots and of course his black hair was style perfectly, and he's green eyes stand up more with him dress in all black.
"Hey beautiful" he said giving me a kiss on the cheek while hugging me tightly.
"Dan I ask you to dress casual, not like a rebel bad guy from the 80s" I said laughing and hugging him back as I greet him.
"I know your mind games, and I'm pretty sure you want me to intimidate someone so don't go complaining" he said laughing "oh hey man!" He said greeting Seb with a one-arm hug like all dudes did.
"Hey!" Seb greet back and then turn to me "And you assure me that I shouldn't be worry because he didn't indulge in your craziness" he accused me with a frown.
"He doesn't" I assure him "he's just been stupid today because I joked that he'll play it like his my sweetheart, and he thinks bad guys are my thing" I said laughing and opening the door, letting all of us in.
"I'm pretty sure I got you right and you're into bad boys, even Ms.Soar believes so" Dan said defending himself.
"Don't get my mom in the mix, but just to make it clear, bad guys aren't my thing, I'm the bad guy" I fire back laughing even harder.
"I don't feel comfortable about this whole idea" Sebastian mumble worry.
"Daniel listen, I need you to get serious here or Sebastian it's not going to let me go do what we actually need to do" I said trying to assure Sebastian that I'll stick to my promise.
"Alright boss, tell me what's the deal" he said getting to business.
"We're going to Sebastian's apartment, to pack his things, and bring them here, because he's moving with me, the motherfucking bastard perfect ass of America, lost his shit and hurt Seb, so I won't let him get near that son of a bitch" I said while trying to control myself.
"Alright, what's the protocol?" Dan asked seriously and I could tell Seb was impressed.
"We're going in, take his things out and that's it" I said firmly but that was a code between Dan and myself, he knew we'll do something else too "The point is that you'll have my back if he try something, and you wouldn't let me try something either" I said but he knew it wasn't entirely true.
"Alright let's go" Dan said looking at me.
"I left the keys" Sebastian whispered to me.
"Don't worry I'll knock" I said smiling crazy.
"Please don't let her do anything stupid" Seb beg to Dan.
"I won't, relax man I got her back" Dan said while we went out of the apartment.
"We're taking your bike" I said.
"There is more deep shit in all this situation darling, because I can see Sebastian freaking out about you losing your shit, so please tell me how bad it is in your head" he said grabbing he's keys, and guiding us to the parking lot under the building.
"He cross a line, he abuse Sebastian, and believe me the motherfucker deserve a slowly painful death, so in my head is like I already kill the bastard like a thousand times" I said because there wasn't a point in lying to Dan, either way he wouldn't say a thing.
"Sebastian is the kindness man I know, so I'm guessing this dude it's really fuck up" He said getting on the bike.
"We'll he is Captain America royally fuck up" I said and laugh bitterly.
"Oh you hate that guy so much" Dan said smirking.
"Yes I do, always have but I'm fantastic at pretending I don't" I said, and he laughed knowing I didn't pretend, he had heard me complaining about the guy to many times.
"Alright killer queen, calm down I don't want you to get in trouble, Sebastian is really worried" he said taking off his jacket and giving it to me.
"Yeah yeah I know" I said putting on the jacket and the helmet.
He drove us fast over the streets, we arrive in no time to Sebastian's apartment building, we enter the code in the access door of the parking lot, and we park behind Sebastian's Jeep that was much bigger than the one I own, mine was the wrangler jeep but just two sits, in a pretty silver color, it had the California vibe even though I live in New York, but Sebastian's was a whole huge SUV in black with tinted windows.
"I'm taking his car" I said to Dan.
"Alright, so what's the real protocol?" He said in his business mode on.
"Full measurement, security cams, an unnotice way out, security weaknesses point, everything" I said leading him to the elevator.
"Good, I can handle all that, I'll even do the tracker" He said smiling at me.
"That's why I love you so much" I said smiling back, that meant that he was going to hack Chris phone, and any device he comes across with.
We got on the elevator, and went to the twelve floor, we walk down the hallway to his apartment door ringing the doorbell. In no time, the door was open, and one famous Chris Evans was looking like shit with a worry expression on his face that turn in to panic, when he realized it was me.
"Holy shit!" He said still shock.
"Holy shit in deep Evans, please let us in, I have business to do" I said cold.
"Right" he moves out of the way and close the door after we enter "Is he alright?" He asked nervous.
"Don't know Evans, would you be alright if someone you trust did to you what you did to him?" I ask back looking at his scare eyes.
"I... I..." He started saying but I cut him off.
"I don't care about your answer to be honest, I just need you to bring some boxes to pack his belongings for the moving" I said still cold trying not to let my anger show through my tone.
"Moving?" He asked confuse.
"Yes Evans, Sebastian is moving out of here, where? It's none of your business, but you be a sweetheart if you help and make all this easier" I said exasperated trying to keep my shit together.
"I..." He started saying again and I lost it.
"For fucks sake" I scream and Dan grab me.
"Darling please calm down, why don't you go to Sebastian's room and start with his clothes" He told me restraining me from killing the guy.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll go do that" I said breathing deeply.
I went down the hallway trying to calm down and I heard Dan talking to Chris.
"Look man, I don't know what you did, and I don't want to know about it either, but I guess you just need to know that Sebastian isn't coming back, so please do us a favor and help pack his things, I think it's the least you could do after whatever you did" Dan said so calm, that sometimes it scares me how in control he can be, apparently Chris listened to him because I heard moving.
However, I guess it wasn't a good idea that I went in to their room, the bed was a mess and there was blood on the sheets. God, please help me because I'm going to kill someone, the blood in my veins was pumping so fast that I could hear the drumming song it was playing on my ears, I couldn't hold back, and let out a scream so angry and loud, I punched the fucking wall.
"Darling what's wrong?" Daniel ask me through the door.
"I'm alright just letting out some frustration" I said so cold that I could tell Dan knew I was about to lose it.
"You sure?" He asked with a tone that says he'll come in if needed.
"Yeah, I just need to calm down, I'm okay" I assure him, while inspecting my bloody knuckle.
"Alright just call me if you need me" He said before going away.
I try to breathe and calm down reminding myself that I couldn't break the promise I did to Sebastian, that I couldn't bring more pain or suffering to his already broken heart, so instead, I made myself focus in doing what I came to do, I went to the master bathroom and wash my bloody knuckle, opening the cabinet I apply some astringent to clean the wound, and wrap it up with some band aid, I took the chance to collect the toiletries that weren't already on the suitcase he brought from Atlanta, looking around I found said suitcase and look through it.
There were some clothes that I presume were dirty, his wallet, passport and the charger of his phone, his laptop and some scripts he was reading, so I took it and put it near the door. Then I went to his walk in closet, his Louis Vuitton suitcases that my mom and I got him for Christmas where there, so I took them to start packing all his clothes, and all the shoes that fit, to my surprise all of it fit in the suitcases, I took the handbag and put all his accessories, sunglasses, watches, caps and the little jewelry he had.
I went back to the room, looking through the nightstand, finding his phone that I put on the back pocket of my jeans, a journal he kept from when his working in some character and all his colognes, I put them on the hand bag as well.
I look around the room searching for anything else that he might want; I took the family photos and some other things he brought from his travels. Finishing my task, I went out of the room and took some suitcase with me to the living room, that had already a few boxes with books and other miscellaneous items.
"Let me help you beautiful" Dan said helping me with the suitcases, and noticed the knuckles, he caresses my hand, trying to make sure if I was alright.
"Thanks handsome there are more in the room, I'll bring them out too" I said smiling at him, but I saw Chris in the corner looking at me.
"I'm so..." He started saying but I cut him off.
"Don't even say it, just agree to his wishes for once, and don't do this worst for you" I said as calm as I could, but I could rip his throat with my own teeth at that point.
"Yes I'll do whatever he wants me to do" he said with a sight.
"Good" I said cold.
I took the rest of the suitcases to the living room, and I let the two of them take everything to Sebastian's jeep, after all there wasn't many things, he wasn't a material person so there wasn't much to bring home, when everything was ready, and I had checked twice that I hadn't left anything behind, I went down to the car too.
"Evans" I said bringing his attention to me when I approach them "Sebastian want you to sign a confidential agreement to not talk about what happened in those two years you were together, our lawyer would be calling yours tomorrow, I expect you to behave as smoothly as you can, Seb doesn't want the media or anyone else involves" I said telling him with my business voice.
"But you know, don't you?" He asked unsure.
"Yes of course I know Evans, and you should thank Sebastian for making me promise I wouldn't do anything stupid, otherwise you would be dead by now" I said angrily and Daniel grab me immediately, so I didn't act on my words.
"Darling please" Daniel warned me.
"Don't worry I'll sign, and do whatever he wants me to do" He said with resignation.
"Good you won't be seeing him anymore after you both sign the legal documents, but you'll be seeing me a few more times, I need to take care of his part of the apartment" I said more calm.
"Alright I can buy his part" he said in a quiet voice.
"Great, that settle I suggest you talk to your lawyer about the buying document, because I'll talk to our lawyer tomorrow about it, the sooner we could wrap all this, the better" I said.
"Get in Sebastian's car darling" Daniel command me but I didn't pay attention.
"One more thing Evans, I suggest you don't reach for him in any form or way, and when you see him after tomorrow, to sign the agreement behave, don't talk to him or look at him in the wrong way, otherwise I assure you, you'll be saying goodbye to your life" I said smiling like maniac, and he was looking at me with a panicked expression on his face. I knew he knew what I was capable of doing.
"Get in the car" Daniel command me deadly serious this time and I obeyed without hesitation feeling satisfied about scaring the motherfucker.
I heard Daniel say goodbye to Chris, and he got on his bike, we go out of the underground parking lot and took the street to go home.
I couldn't believe that I didn't kill him, but I'll have time for that, there's a few other opportunity, and I knew he wasn't that smart to follow my advice, he was going to mess up, and I was going to catch him falling, alone and all to myself, and I'll return the favor, making a sadistic piece of art on him, holy shit I was losing my grip of sanity.
We arrive to the underground parking lot of my apartment, and I park Sebastian's Jeep on my other parking space, Dan got off his bike and I go out of Seb's car.
"You almost lost it" He said with a playful smile.
"Oh believe me I lost it, when I saw Sebastian's blood in their bedroom sheets" I told him letting out an angry sight.
"Yeah I can see, you hurt your knuckles" said Dan putting two and two together, I gave him a look that said not even mention it "I have your back, we'll get him" he said understanding why I want to kill the guy and backing me up.
"Don't even mention it while Sebastian is around he'll go crazy if he found out you'll help me do my crazy shit, and don't even acknowledge that you know anything besides what we said in front of him, he doesn't want anyone involved, but be sure of this, we'll pay him a visit some time around, I need to take care of Seb first" I let him know while I open the back door of Sebastian's car to take out the suitcases.
"Roger that" he said seriously and I trust him.
We took out all the suitcase, and went to the elevator, going to the fifth floor that was actually the ten in a normal building because all the apartments here had two floors. We opened up my door and heard Sebastian relief sight.
"Thanks god you're back, I thought something when wrong" he said coming to hug me in a desperate manner while trembling a little, Jesus Christ! He was definitely affected by the motherfucker.
"Hey babe relax, everything was alright it just took us sometime to pack all your things" I said hugging him as well, and caressing his back trying to calm him down.
"Alright" he said still hugging me too tight.
"Shh... Babe I'm alright, you're alright, let me go, so we can bring all your stuff here" I said in a whisper rubbing his back with a little more pressure to assure him everything was alright.
He slowly let go of me, and help us bring all his things back to the apartment, I gave him his phone back, a few minutes later there were boxes, a total of four suitcases and the handbag in the living room waiting to be unpacked. At the end, I was exhausted physical and emotional, it was already four pm when we finish unpacking, and arranging everything from the boxes, Sebastian and I could unpack the suitcase later.
"We skip lunch" I said to the boys "Why don't we go out to eat some pizzas" I suggest.
"I'll like that darling but I had to go, my girl it's waiting for me" Daniel said giving a one-arm hug to Sebastian, and giving me a kiss on the cheek "See you after tomorrow at the event" he said opening the door.
"Thanks for everything, see you after tomorrow trouble boy" I said saying goodbye to him "So it's us alone again prince charming" I said to Sebastian who was looking at me with a playful smirk.
"Daniel could be a good guy for you" he said playfully but something told me there was something off with that.
"Oh boy! Not this again, I have enough with my mom saying the same" I said grumpy.
"Seriously though, why are you so against the idea" He asked getting closer to me.
"Because seriously I don't like him romantically, he's more like a really close friend I can count on to have my back, besides I have enough love in my life with our family and you" I said finally.
"Don't you get lonely? Or don't you want to marry and have children?" He asked curious.
"What had gotten into you Seb?" I ask him confuse.
"I don't know, I just realized that I'm moving here with you to your room, and maybe I'm getting in the way of your romantic life" He said with sadness and another mix emotion I couldn't figure out.
"No, you're not getting in the way of anything, I don't get lonely, I have you and our family, besides you should know by now that I'm too fuck up in the head to have silly expectations to find someone who actually want to spend the rest of his life with me, and I don't see myself having crazy little kids, because let's be honest that's the only outcome if they come from me" I said releasing a tired sight.
"You're not..." He started saying but I cut him off.
"This is too deep for my liking with an empty stomach, let's go grab some late lunch slash early dinner" I said touching his good cheek and looking at him pleading for him to stop the topic.
"Alright, yeah let's go" he said giving me a tiny smile "but first, would you be so kind to explain, how did you hurt your knuckles?" He said suddenly so serious.
"Oh! That!" I said like it was nothing "Well I saw the crime scene, the sheets of the bed were cover in your blood, and I promise you I wouldn't do anything stupid so I let out my anger on the wall, obviously the wall win" I said a little bit out of my sanity, almost in my psycho state of mind.
"I'm sorry you had to see that" He said in a tiny whispered pulling me toward him, hugging me trembling but in a tight grip.
"I'm sorry that all this happened to you, it's so unfair and I just want to kill him, but I'm glad you're here safe with me" I said rubbing my nose in the crock of his neck.
"Let's go for the food, I think we both need it" He said kissing my temple.
"Yeah, let's go" I said kissing his neck and letting go of him.
We went out for our lunch, and I was happy to have him safe and sound under my wing, where the horrors of this life couldn't reach him, but I hope he really did feel safe here.
"Babe!" I said when we finish our pizza.
"Yeah?" He said finishing his soda.
"I arrange the clinic visit, you have to take it today or it wouldn't be count as evidence if needed" I said trying not to freak him out.
He looked at me scared and bit his lip anxiously before answering "Yeah, alright, let's go" He said looking down.
"I got you, alright, I'm here for you" I said grabbing his hand across the table.
"I know, I trust you" He said with certainty.
And off we went to the clinic, it was a private place that was discreet, and related to our lawyer arrangements, Seb let me be by his side in every step of the test. In that moment I knew he really felt safe with me, and that gave me the certainty that I really needed to take care of making Chris paying the price.
