Sara stared at the wall trying to find sleep, but just not being able to. Sebastian had taken her with him to go whale watching. They'd been together 3 months. That was her longest relationship ever. She never had time in her brain for Alec because Sebastian occupied it 24/7. She never saw him anymore or thought she did on the sidewalk. As she stared at the New York Times with a warm donut in her hand, she felt like she'd never been so happy. As she sat in Times Square she lifted her head to see the snow falling from the sky. The snowflakes melted on her tongue. She whirled around until a set of hands caught her. As she spun around she whispered Sebastian's name only t find out it wasn't him. It was Alec. She pulled away from him immediately. "Sara, can we talk about the guy your dating," he asked. "NO!" Sara said, then adding, My life is none of your business anymore!" Alec looked hurt. She didn't care. She was the one hurt first. She'd seen him drinking coffee with Elaine when Sebastian and herself were staring their budding romance. He had moved on, and so had she. He could make all the excuses that he wanted. She wasn't coming back to him. Not now, not ever. She ran quickly away from him and pushed her way through the crowd. He called her name a few times, but she pretended not to hear.She finally lost him when she ran straight into Sebastian's arms. He felt so warm on this cold morning. "I love you too, sweety," as he kissed her neck, then her chin, and finally her lips. What a wonderful sensation. He made her feel normal, and when she was around him no one stared. She was like everyone else around him. She wanted that feeling her whole life. " I think we should go somewhere," she said in his ear, " Somewhere only we can be." He got her hint and dragged her to a side alley. They smooched some more, until she was giddy with love. Later she walked into his apartment, tip toeing and petting the cat, Henry. Then she came alive when she saw the Christmas tree she helped set up. There was one single ornament with her name on it; heart shaped. It glittered pink. She hugged him more tightly. They sat on the couch together, her hands on his chest. What a perfect way to spend the day!
After their kisses had been spent, she reapplied her lip gloss. She fluffed her hair, and sat in front of the TV. They were watching football, when Sebastian brought out two mugs of hot cocoa. He stared at Sara in awe. He was beyond lucky to have her in his life. He was glad it was just him she was crazy about and not some one else. She loved him, he saw that plain and clear, but sometimes he wondered why she loved him. He had grown up with rich parents who didn't care for him. His parents left him to himself alot, and he wasn't the type to have alot of friends due to wealth. He had one friend once, but she died. Her name was Lola, and she had heart problems at a very young age. He always thought she'd be the one, but God had other plans for her. Sometimes it angered him. He tended to feel lonely, until Sara came into his life at least. If he lost her he had nothing. He and Sara curled up on the sofa together and telling stories until he fell asleep. She looked at his face; so peaceful and innocent. she fell asleep too, and lay there the whole night.
They woke up together staring into each other's eyes. He fixed scrambled eggs for her before she left. Sara noticed Meredith had kept the light on for her last night. she saw two blinking lights on the machine. One was her parents whom she didn't talk to for a while. The other was from Alec. He wanted to talk at the coffee shop downtown. She deleted his message. She had Sebastian. He left her. What was there to talk about? True she had once loved him, but it wasn't enough for the both of them. She opened up her mail and and gasped. The letter flopped out of her hands and hit the floor.
