It was a Saturday morning, when a crazy thought dawned upon me.

My mind kept replaying scenes from the night that I had spent with Sebastian, my heart began beating faster as the I was reminded how good it felt to just be around him.

The only thing preventing me from rushing over to him, and screaming my crazy thought in his face was my guilty conscious.

Audrianna.

She wasn't exactly the nicest person in the world, in fact she was no where near that position, but then on the other hand, so was I.

If anything I was even worst than Audrianna.

Because I was in love with her fiancè.

It had been so long since I was in love, and after being with Dennis for so long, I wasn't really sure how to be in love and what were the symptoms.

But after reading the WikiHow and many other articles, I was certain.

I was in love with Sebastian Reynolds.

And that was the problem.

I couldn't stand and watch the man, I was in love with be with another woman.

Seeing them together, already crushed my heart and smashed it into tiny pieces like glass.

But seeing them together, and knowing that we could never to be together... God I didn't even want to think about that.

"Why you cwy?" Oliver asked, using his chubby thumb to gently wipe any fallen tears.

"I'm sorry." I apologised weakly, using my sleeves to wipe away any tears. I hadn't even realized I was crying.

"Don't cwy, Ry! Be happy!" Oliver gently patted my head, before running back off to go and play with his toys.

He was honestly such a precious child. Like a little gem amongst a like of rocks.

Lookwise, Sebastian and him were almost identical but personalitywise, they couldn't be more different. I hoped Oliver remained like this.

"Can't you just stay little forever?" I mumbled hugging him from behind, sending him into fits of sqeauls and giggles.

It was moments like this, that made me want to stay forever.

"You look nice." Sebastian commented, strolling into my room and admiring my outfit, "Where are you off to?"

I tried hard not to stare at the hair that was sticking to his forehead like glue and his slightly parted lips.

Just like I had said a million times, he looked like a complete snack.

"We haven't really left the house in a while. So the kids and I are going to the toy store." I informed him, casting my eyes to the ground because just looking at him after all this time made me stumble over my words.

I felt him walk towards me, and stop in front of me.

He placed his two fingers under my chin and raised my head so that I was looking into his eyes.

He brought his face close to mine and opened his mouth to speak.

But suddenly, the door was pushed open and Audrianna's face popped, "Babe!" She cried, skipping of to Sebastian and wrapping her arms around his shoulder, "Where have you been darling?! Come on, if we want to make it in time. You'd better get dressed."

Sebastian shut his eyes and took a deep breath, before slowly turning around walking out the door.

I watched Audrianna lead him out of the room, shooting me a smug smile.

I was stupid for almost letting him kiss me, I was stupid for wanting him to kiss me. I was stupid for not hating him and instead doing the complete opposite.

I was especially stupid for remaining her, when really all the arrows were pointing for me to leave.

'SEBASTIAN REYNOLDS, SEEN WITH STUNNING FIANCÈE, AUDRIANNA MONTREAL ENTERING HIS OWN HOTEL.'

I flung away the copy of the magazine, only to see another one laying directly underneath.

I slumped back in my seat, holding on tightly to the letter praying that he accepted it without putting up a fight.

I knew he wasn't going to be happy, but it was for the best for both of us.

Me staying wasn't doing either of us good. He was putting his business in jeopardy and I was putting my heart on the line.

"Rylee Reynolds?" Rolanda, his secratery called, pointing to his office door, "Mr Reynolds would like to see you."

I gradually got up to my feet, trying to remain calm and collected. I hate made up scenarios in my head of what I assumed was going to happen and had figured out what I was going to say.

I inhaled a large amount of breath before pushing open the door and walking into the Lion's Den.

"Sebastian," I squeaked nervously waddling over to his desk and handing him the small envelope, "My weeks notice."

Sebastian accepted the letter, and began scanning through the letter, probably not even reading it.

He sure was eager to get rid of me.

The sound of paper tearing, awoke my from my trance, and before my eyes I watched Sebastian rip the sheet of paper up into documents.

Just like he had done with my heart..

"Two week notice?" I suggested quietly.

He frowned, throwing the little bits of paper into the bin. "No. You're not allowed to quit." He stated factually.

I took a deep breath, trying to quickly come up with an argument, "I know but.."

He rose to his feet and took three large strides to reach me, he cupped my face in his hands and frowned, "It's because of me isn't it?" I quickly looked away, trying hard to avoid eye contact.

I placed my hand on his chest, pushing him away from me, "We can't! Sebastian, look what we've become, you're cheating on your fiancè, with me!"

He remained silent, "You've got to let me go, Sebastian. Not just for me, but for both of us. We need time apart. What we're doing is so wrong, it's disgusting."

"You're right." He muttered, letting his hands drop.

I took his hand in mine and began gently rubbing his knuckles, trying to calm him down.

I contemplated on telling him how I feel, but I soon decided against it. I knew Sebastian, if I was to tell him, he'd never let me go.

"I don't want you to have to choose between your business and me." I whispered, as he pulled me into his chest for a lopsided hug.

"You. Rylee. I would choose you, always." He muttered lowly, resting his head on mine.

His voice sounded quiet, vulnerable and almost childlike as he pleaded with me one more time, "Don't leave me.."

I took a deep breath pulling a way from our embrace, "I just can't bare to watch you guys together .. knowing that... knowing that.."

I looked down to the ground, not finishing my sentence knowing that it would grant him false hope.

"I'm not firing you." He concluded, rubbing my back, "I'm letting you go for now Rylee, to clear your head and maybe mine. Please take as long as you need."

I flung my arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug, thanking him.

Honestly, I was suprised he let me go, but then again Sebastian was full of surprises.

I woke up to the sound of an engine revving. I gently stretched and turned to look out my surrondings.

"You're awake." I heard Sebastian mutter. My eyes turned to look at the time and I sat up, suprised. How long had I been asleep for?

2:47 A.M.

"You looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you." Was all he said before driving out of the underground parking lot and into the night.

"I've booked you a train ticket back to Essex," he blurted out driving the opposite way from 'home.'

I was too shocked to speak so I chose not to speak. I heard him rummage in his wallet and pull out a lot of £20 pound notes and stuffing it in my hand.

"The hotel you'll be staying in tonight has already been paid for, so don't worry about a thing." He smiled softly.

"I can't accept this." I gasped, moving away from the money, but Sebastian shook his head and stuffed it in my hands.

"You've worked hard enough, just take it Rylee, please."

I sighed, and took the money, stuffing it in my purse. I'd probably find something useful to do with it, there's a homeless shelter near my old school..

"Rylee?"

"Yes, Sebastian?"

He took a deep breath, "...Just stay safe, okay?" I nodded slowly and pecked his both of his cheeks, thanking him for everything.

I climbed out of the car and walked towards the entrance and turned around to give him one last glance. He was still sitting there watching me so I raised my right hand and have him a small wave before heading into the hotel.

I was going home. I was finally going home.
