It was early in the morning and Tess was already up and moving around, but it wasn't by choice. No, but it was for her dance class. She was a dancer, she's been doing it since she basically could walk. Dance was her passion and she took up ballet and hip hop. But just because she wasn't a morning person didn't mean she had no motivation. Actually, Tess preferred to take dance lessons in the morning so that way she can feel awake and ready to take on the day. But right now she was making her bed and putting on a tank top and some sofie shorts and some shoes, doing all the morning needs before she headed out to go to the studio. About three hours later, she was walking out of her lesson and heading back to her home. She was ready to take a shower and then head back out. She was really tired today as it seemed. The night before, she had a show and it ran late and she only got about 5 hours of sleep and she had just been up early this morning to go to yet another class. But now she soon arrived back at her home and she hopped in the shower and she readied herself to go out again. She needed some caffeine and she was planning on going to the local cafe. When she was finished showering and blow drying her hair, she put her make up on and got into a cute little outfit and she was making her way out of the door yet again. About 10 minutes later, she was walking into the cafe and she looked around and didn't really notice anyone in here that she knew. So she walked up to the register and ordered herself the house coffee. She was going to drink it straight black. She didn't usually take it like that, but it didn't necessarily bother her either. She paid, got her coffee and then went to sit at one of the high top tables. She sat down and began sipping at her drink. outfit |

Sebastian wasn't looking where he was going and ended up tripping over one of the chair legs. Him along with his hot coffee fell forward, both of which landed smack dab on another person who was sitting down in the cafe. Of course he had no idea who it was at first so his first mental reaction was "Oh shit" because he figured whoever it was they would be furious. Hell, he knew that he would be.
He regained his composure and looked up, and was honestly taken by surprise to see who it was. He turned a bright red about as red as a cherry tomato and bit his bottom lip. "Hey Tess...." was all he managed to say before total embarrassment continued to wash over him. He looked around and noticed that everyone in the whole entire cafe had their eyes glued to him and his current predicament. He looked down and realized that he was still practically sprawled out in her lap. He rubbed the back of his neck as soon as he stood up. He quickly went to grab some paper towels to help her clean up the split coffee.
He sighed quietly before speaking up once again, "Sorry Tess, I didn't mean to do that... So, how are you?" while attempting to keep from blushing once more. Sure, they've been friends forever but not once had he been a blushing fool around her like he was now. But, it was mostly because of him being a total klutz in front of her. He really didn't think that was a good impression on her, let alone anyone else that was watching. All of a sudden it hit him, he knew that Tess wasn't that much of a morning person considering she was his dormmate so he pretty much knew whenever she did this or that. But, today was different.. Well lately was different. He had been distracted by stuff at home so, he really didn't pay attention to everyone's schedules.
But, he coulda sworn that Tess wasn't usually up this early.. So he couldn't help but to ask, "So, why are you up this early anyway, Tess..? I coulda sworn you weren't a morning person.." he said as he sat down in the chair in front of her.

Tess heard the chime of the door ding as another person either came into the cafe, or just left. Either way she only shot the door a quick glance before turning back to take another sip from her coffee. She blew on it a little before she took another sip because it was pretty hot. The all of the sudden, she felt it. How could she feel her coffee.
It was like it all happened in slow motion. She looked at her cup and her coffee was still there, then she felt a weight on her and then an insane burning pain on her torso and arms as some hot liquid hit her. "Ow! Hey! Tess said as she looked at the kid laying in her lap basically. "Hey are you ok?" She asked. Sure Tess was currently getting burned but she still thought of others. She was a kind hearted girl. And she was taken aback when her name came from the kids mouth. She then got a good look at him, "Hey Sebastian." She said with an added smile.
She held his gaze for what seemed like forever and when he stood up she quickly looked away shyly and then tucked some hair behind her ear and looked around the table, took some napkins and started dabbing her clothes and arms. She thought about how jittery she was feeling around him right now and that wasn't usual. She had been friends for many years, so why is she feeling different around him?
He asked her how she was and apologized for what he had done. She couldn't be mad at her best guy friend. Accidents happen on occasion. "Don't worry about it Bastian, and I'm doing just fine." She said as she stood up from her chair and he was right there helping her get some of the coffee up. Well what best they could do. Either way, they were clothes and they were washable. She could always stop back by her room and change.
She threw some napkin away, she was finished getting what she could off of herself and her clothes. She walked back and sat back in her seat. She watched as he took the seat across from her. She gave him a genuine smile, "You remember I dance right? Well I switched my night classes to those in the morning." She said as she scooted the rest of her coffee his way, "Here, since you didn't get a change to have any of yours, I was done with it anyway." She said offering up what was left in her cup to Sebastian,

Sebastian blushed again slightly because of just being in the precense of Tess. He couldn't figure out why he was feeling all these different kinds of emotions. She was supposed to just be his friend. What is different?
He furrowed his eyebrows deep in thought and didn't realize that Tess had been talking to him, he jumped as soon as the rest of her coffee made its way over to his direction. That's whenever he looked up at her, and rubbed the back of his neck. "Were you saying anything to me..? I don't know for sure, because I was thinking about something...." he drifted off, lost in thought once more. It was strange for him to continue to do this, he knew that but he couldn't help but to keep thinking about the possibility that he, Sebastian De La Torre, was actually falling for someone.
Sure, it wasn't a rare occurrence, but it was Tess for crying out loud, that's whenever the rareness kicked in. He didn't normally fall for someone he knew, much less someone he grew up with. His usual dating pattern consisted of one night stands, and relationships that barely got passed the starting line much less lasting longer than a week or so. He couldn't believe that he was actually falling for Tess.
He knew that he'd have to eventually tell her, but he was just.. So shy, which was another rare occurrence, and he wasn't used to all of it. Normally he wasn't so, unable to think straight, but.. She just.. He couldn't explain it. She was a complete mystery to him, and that.. That alone drew him in, and he couldn't resist her charm. She had always been so sweet to him, much more than what he deserved. Maybe just maybe she felt the same for him as he did her. He looked at her again, and the blush rose in his cheeks once more. He knew that the blush would betray him, but he couldn't keep from it.

When Tess moved her cup of coffee to him, she wondered if he liked black. "I hope you like it straight. I wasn't in the mood for anything fancy today." She said with a smile. But when she thought about what she said, she was wondering why she was rambling on about coffee. Wow she felt so stupid. Why was she feeling like she was choking up in front of him. He was Sebastian for heavens sake. They grew up together since the sand box days. She wondered why since they knew each other for so long, that he didn't feel like a brother to her.
She was a girl who had relationships yes. But ever since Blake broke her heart, she hasn't been able to trust guys with her liking. That was, with the exception for Bastian. She was able to tell him everything. And where he had one night stands, she was the relationship type of girl. She was now wondering how he felt when she would cry on his shoulder after a breakup or a fight with a boyfriend. He was always there to listen to her.
She quickly locked eyes with him when he spoke to her. Tess was always one of those girls who felt uncomfortable if she didn't talk to some by making eye contact. She smirked a little bit when he said he wasn't paying attention. She blinked a few times and looked at her coffee cup. "Oh, it wasn't anything. I was just rambling." She said as she put on a cute smile and then seen him blush and smile as well. She got a little curious. "So who's the girl that you're thinking so hard about and making you blush?" She said expecting that there was a new girl in his life as there has been many times before. Sure she liked him a lot, but Tess would support his decisions any day and would be there when he needed her. |

Sebastian took a drink of the coffee, he didn't care if it wasn't all fixed up. He was just thirsty, and needed an extra boost to make sure he was awake. "It's alright.. I just needed an extra boost to wake up. Again, I'm sorry about slipping my hot coffee all over you..." he blushed slightly.
He looked at her, holding her gaze, as he contemplated telling her now or just.. Waiting until later to tell her. He shrugged slightly and decided that it was now or never.. "Truth is, I'm thinking about you..." he trailed off, another shade of red tinted his cheeks once more.
Everything he knew about dating, which only consisted of one night stands for majority's sake, had changed.. Right whenever he realized he was falling for Tess. He knew that it had to be a good thing. Because, if it wasn't.. He'd honestly be disappointed. Because, he really liked her. Like a whole lot.
He honestly hoped she felt the same.. Sure, he just told her that he was thinking about her, but it didn't take rocket science to figure out what he was referring to. He just hoped she figured it out without him making a fool of himself trying to explain it.. Ah, what an idiot.. Doubting Tess' ability to put two and two together. Thankfully he didn't say anything about it out loud, because he knew that she'd be offended. Hell, he would be too if someone was doubting him.

Tess watched as Sebastian took a sip from her coffee and then tell her that he just needed a pick me up, something to get him energized. "So it's not too bad?" She said as she had tasted the coffee before and it was strong, a little bitter, but strong. He apologized once more for spilling his coffee on her and she smiled and looked down at her shirt and pants. "It's ok, really. Accidents happen." She said as Tess looked back up to him.
She smiled genuinely to him and thought about how she was having all of these weird feelings. Every time she thought about him, she got butterfly's, when he spoke to her, she felt like she got goose-bumps. Was it possible that Tess had fallen for her best friend, the only person who knew everything about her? Everything she has done, and all the things she hasn't? It was hard to grasp that the boy she grew up with would be the guy she'd see herself with through and through.
Tess's glazed look in her eye disappeared when she heard his voice. Her attention quickly focused back onto him and when he told her that he was thinking about her, her eyes went wide, "M-me?" She stuttered a little bit out of surprise. "Why would I be on your mind, I mean I was just expecting to hear about another girl that you think you really like and then I was just...I'm just rambling is what I'm doing." She said to him. When she got nervous, she started speaking fast and babbled on about almost nothing.
She looked at him for what seemed like forever. Just looked over his facial features, memorizing what he looked like as if she were never going to see him again. And after a few minutes with a blank face, and concentrating eyes, a smile started to appear on her face. "I've umm...you've actually been on my mind as well." She said as she started playing with her fingers. She moved them around in a useless design on the table, trying to keep her blushing under control.

Sebastian nodded once in response to her asking if the coffee was alright.. He was speechless, he didn't want to speak at the moment. And, the reddish tint to his cheeks got worse whenever Tess mentioned that she was thinking about him too. As well as not really believing that he had her on his mind. But, who could blame him..?
She was everything he wanted in a girlfriend, and more.. He had been too blind to see it until now.. Boy was he stupid for wasting all those years attempting to be with someone else? He sighed slightly, and broke eye contact with her as if to see if that'd keep him from blushing even more. But, it didn't. He just got betrayed even moreso by the reddish tint that kept staying in place on his cheeks. He reached over and grabbed one of Tess' hands...
He cleared his throat slightly, and began to speak up. "Tess, truth be told, I really like you. Like really like you." he regained eye contact with her to let her know how serious he really was about this. He knew that it'd be a huge step for the two best friends, but he felt like it'd be in the right direction. He really hoped that whatever Tess was thinking about in regards to him, he'd like. Because, he wasn't really in the mood to be turned down flat.. Especially not by Tess. That'd hurt more than it would if it was someone entirely different than her.
He tilted his head, "Just for curiosity's sake.. But, what are you thinking about, really..?" he took a deep breath, and just waited patiently for her response. There was honestly no turning back now after he had told her that he liked her, and then asked her what she was really thinking about. Finally he regained his composure and stopped blushing. Hopefully it wouldn't pick back up again, because he didn't like to be betrayed by his reddish tinted cheeks.
Although, he couldn't help but to think how cute Tess was.. Trying to keep from blushing but he knew that she'd fail miserably just like he had done already. He squeezed her hand slightly, and continued to keep eye contact with her.
