SEXTAPE, PART IV,
CHAPTER 67.

" 𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐄. "

"Ms. L/n."

Jean smiles, handing you your bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and you laugh softly at him as pulls out a seat at the outdoor table and into the spot right next to you with his bowl.

"Why, thank you, sir." You smile back, picking up your spoon and looking down at your phone for a quick second before back to Jean, who was already into his treat.

Neither of you had either really begun to pack and at this point, you left in three days. You weren't sure why, and you should've probably gotten to it beforehand, but here you were.

It didn't need much of an overreaction as it had gotten, yet nowhere the two of you were, sitting on the patio in a string bikini top with shorts in 70-degree weather, Jean in a pair of trousers, eating ice cream and minding your own business.

"Are you doing anything today?" Jean asks, and you swallow your spoonful of ice cream with a small shrug. You weren't gonna be all that busy, but had a few things to do during the day.

"Yeah, well, I have a nail appointment, then I'm gonna go get lunch with Vinnie and her boyfriend, then I'm probably gonna come back and clean the house since we've been away so much, and it needs it." You tell him, and he nods along with what you were saying.

"Right. Well, I was gonna go run the dogs, maybe go out to eat, come back since I have some important call with my manager, then hang out." He says, and you nod as he did before. "And if I don't grab something quick to eat I'll make something when I get back."

"Sweet. We should go to dinner I think.. whenever. We haven't had an actual dinner date in a good while." You tell him.

"That'd be fun. When we go back to Germany, I wanna take you to a few places, 'specially that one dinner place we went." He says.

You raise your eyebrows and purse your lips with a hint of suspicion, and the two of you just laugh together once more. Although, you could remember the dinner date clearly.

 '  Your eyes were fixated on the tattoos on his long fingers. You grab his left hand, the one that wasn't holding his wine glass.

"These are so cool, why the fuck haven't I noticed them," You sigh, running the pads of your fingers right above his knuckles where the ink was drawn on.

"Well, I'm always getting them covered up for shooting. And you're probably just partially blind if you hadn't noticed the others," He laughs softly, somewhat amused.

"Hush."

You both laugh, smiling brightly in the dim lighting of the room.

"I'm really- uh, happy you agreed to go out with me tonight," Jean says, a light blush creeping across his fair cheeks.

"I'm glad I agreed too. I mean, check out this dinner you're paying for." '
chapter 16 - 'dance with me.'

Everything that happened after that was clear to you. 

The way the song echoed off of the walls, the way he touched your waist and swayed you around the dimly lit living room. 

You remembered the song that he had played.. Goodnight Moon, a song by Shivaree.

It had surely enough grown to be one of your favorite songs just by that night.. and, oh, everything that proceeded to happen after the dance.

A complete fuckshow, but so damn good. You can still feel the soreness the next morning, pretty much ashamed of your ability to step out of that room instead of Jean coming in and picking you up from the bed like the princess you are.

Never actually bothered you, though. Needless to say, you were even lucky to have Jean by your side all the time.

"Well, I'm gonna go get changed. When are you leaving?" You wonder, sitting up to bring your empty ice cream bowl to the kitchen, and Jean does the same.

"Dunno. Now?" He snorts, sliding past you to put the bowl in the sink before you could, and you roll your eyes at him with a small laugh. "And we can just do takeout for dinner since A; we need groceries, and B; we're gonna be gone for a good while."

"Good idea.. We were filming for that show from July to October, and I really wish we could get a break from filming and going places." You groan, turning once your bowl was in the sink, and making your way upstairs.

The two of you, as noted since July to October had been filming a dark drama called The Widow, and had been pretty happy while doing it. The first season had just ended, and so you could finally get a break either way.

"I know, I know, babe." He says, following you closely as you two make your way to the master suite, Jean gets to the shower, as you had already done so, and move to change into something more public appropriate, and would last in the somewhat heat of January in California.

.

"There she is!" Vinnie exclaims, pulling you into a tight hug. You return the action, smiling brightly as you peck a small kiss on her cheek.

"Aw, beautiful, how are you?!' You exclaim, and she laughs happily. Her brown skin glowing in the noon sun, she was simply gorgeous.

"I've been great, babe! It's been forever, though! What about you?" She says, and the two of you pull apart from each other. 

Really though, it had felt like forever. The two of you probably hadn't seen each other in person since last.. August? You'd been so busy all the time with filming or other things, and you'd felt so bad that you couldn't hang out with her all the time like you used to. 

So, here you were now, on the back patio of a nice restaurant as you had arrived after them.

"I've been great, oh my god." You exhale, catching your breath from the loud greeting. The two of you were normally so vibrant when you were together, unless it was something so serious, you managed to calm down.

"I'm so glad, b- oh! You guys haven't actually met, I'm sorry." Vinnie apologizes, turning as her boyfriend taps her on the shoulder, pretty much reminding her of his presence, making you chuckle.

"Cole." He says, introducing himself. He extends his hand, and you shake it.

"Y/n-"

"I know who you are. Not in a weird way, sorry! I swear, you're an actress, I know that. I loved your movie Death of a Poet, and your work in Attack on Titan. I was fuckin' blown away. " He says, and you can't help but laugh.

"Aw, well thank you! And it's fine." You giggle, putting your fingers over your lips with a smile. You'd only ever heard him in the background of Vinnie's calls, and he was pretty funny. "It's wonderful to meet you. I wish Jean could've been here with me to meet you finally." You smile, and he nods with a bright smile and a shrug.

"Either way, this is great! Vinnie raves about you." Cole says, and Vinnie punches him lightly in the shoulder lightly, and he chuckles, draping his arm around her shoulders.

"I'm honored." You say, then pulling out your own seat as Cole and Vinnie sit back down in theirs. Vinnie looks at you, with widened eyes in a pretty much teasing way, looks around, then takes your hands in hers.

"Now let's see those nails."
