seize the day

these were the kinds of nights he had missed the most in their short separation. being able to enjoy each other’s company in the comfort of their own home was something he didn’t realize had become so important to him. shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he took a deep breath before heading down the hallway towards the bathroom, a bottle of his favorite red wine and two large glasses in his hands. nudging the door open with his hip, he couldn’t help but chuckle as he shot a look her way. “i come baring gifts,” he replied, setting the wine and glasses down on the edge of the tub before pulling his damp shirt over his head, kicking his jeans to the floor, and sliding into the tub with her. 

“perfect.” josie made quick work of filling each of the glasses before setting the bottle of wine back where he had placed it. “the wine was all i wanted anyway.” she teased as she adjusted herself to allow him more space to get in the tub, head immediately falling back onto his chest when he got in. she reached for one of the glasses, bringing it to her lips to take a sip of the red liquid filling it. “you know, we’re going to have to get in all of this kind of stuff while we can.” she noted, moving to set the glass on the side of the tub again.

sebastian hummed his affirmation, kneeling down to unlatch the leash from around cade’s neck before turning his attention back to josie once more, “bath– wine– dinner by the fireplace,” he spoke, a grin touching his lips as he watched her move down the hallway. it didn’t take long to dump a few scoops of food into cade’s bowl, and he quickly towel dried the pup before following in josie’s footsteps. he could hear the rush of bathwater as he approached and he was elated to be back in their home, sharing this small bout of time off together.

josie was quick to turn the water on, dipping her hand into the water to make sure it wasn’t too hot. she only waited for it to fill a little more before she was undressing herself and sliding into the water, head leaning back against the back of the tub and her eyes falling shut. “i hope you came with wine.” she mumbled, lips curling up into a smile as she reopened her eyes to look at him. she moved her arms to rest on the side of the tub, chin resting on her forearms as her eyes met his. “you gonna take your time or are you just going to join me?”

exiting the elevator and heading down the hall towards their door, sebastian managed to dig the keys out of his pocket and quickly unlatch the lock, granting them entrance inside the warmth of their home. setting cade to the floor, the pup immediately shook the snow out of his fur, sending droplets of water all over the kitchen. “home sweet home,” he sighed contentedly, shrugging out of his coat and hanging it on the hook to dry. “you run the bath– i’ll feed cade,” he murmured, dropping a kiss to the crown of her head, “then we can get warmed up.”

josie slid her own jacket off her shoulders before hanging it next to his to dry, turning to look at him with raised brows. “we’re back at the bath idea now?” she questioned, lips turning up into a smile as a she let out a soft hum. she nodded her head as she moved away from him and toward the bathroom, only stopping to turn toward him for a moment. “don’t forget the wine.” she noted, turning on her heels to continue toward the bathroom.

“okay, deal,” sebastian mumbled against her frozen lips, somehow managing to push himself to his feet whilst carrying cade in his arms. the small pup had begun to shiver and he knew they would all need to defrost in front of the fireplace as soon as possible. waiting for her to retrieve their bags from the backseat, he clicked the lock into place and followed her into the building, leaving a trail of fluffy white snow in their wake. “i have some hot chocolate in the cabinet if you wanna heat some up,” he offered as they stepped in the elevator, “there’s also coffee– or wine. whatever you’re in the mood for.”

josie tossed her bag over her shoulder and had his bag in her hand, stomping her feet on the carpet when they entered the building. “all very tempting options.” she noted, doing her best to act as if her mind hadn’t already jumped to other places. “might have to go for the wine.” she noted, turning her head to look over at him in the elevator. it wasn’t long until the elevator beeped to indicate they were on their floor and she was quick to step out. “we’ll need to feed him, too. gotta keep our boy fed.”

sebastian stayed kneeled on the cement, watching her close the distance between their bodies as she rounded the car. tilting his head up and offering his lips, he waited until she was within arms reach before grabbing the handful of snow and dropping it atop her head. “gotcha,” he grinned, snaking his free arm around her waist and tugging her down on the ground with him, pulling her into his lap as his lips landed on hers. “your lips are cold,” he murmured, fighting a shiver that snuck up his spine, “let’s go inside.”

josie let out an overdramatic scream as the snow dropped on top of her head, only adding to the snow that was sticking to her hair. before she could protest, she was being pulled down with him and her arm was snaking around his neck. “so are yours.” she mumbled back, lips pressing a quick kiss against his once more. her mind was entirely focused on him and not on the fact that they were both sitting on the freezing cold ground right now. “i’ll carry the bags in if you start the fire.” she made no effort to move yet. instead, her lips were pressing against his once more.

her stealthy sneak attack managed to hit him square between the shoulder blades. he was quick to fall down to his knees, lifting a snow covered cade into his arms so the small pup couldn’t run off. “i’ve been hit!” he called, dramatically gasping for air, “quick, josie, i think i need cpr.” as the words continued to leave his mouth, sebastian pushed together another pile of snow, waiting for her to approach.

his dramatic words had her stopping in her tracks. the words earned a dry laugh from her before she was turning around and peaking around the back of the car to where he once was. her eyes settled on him as he kneeled down, eyes rolling slowly. “cpr?” she questioned, moving to take a few steps toward where he was kneeling. “i think i can manage to help you out with that one.”

sebastian easily dodged the snowball thrown his way, pulling cade with him as they ducked behind the back of his car. “is that the best you’ve got?” he called, bending down to collect another large handful of snow. packing it into a ball, he peeked his head out and sent the snowball flying in her direction, his laughter and cade’s playful barks echoing around the empty parking lot. “c’mon, pretty girl. show me what you got,” he teased, beckoning her over with a crook of his finger.

“i’m not playing these games with you!” josie called out, lips curling up into a smile. her hands moved to zip her jacket all the way up before she was moving around the car in the opposite direction. “we don’t have time for this, sebastian.” as she spoke, she was leaning down to pack another ball of snow. she was quick to sneak around behind him, tossing the snow at his back. “gotcha.” she called out before she was retreating back around the car.

“oh no,” sebastian murmured under his breath, a wide eyed look crossing his features, “you’re onto me, aren’t you? figuring out all my secrets.” the tease was heavy in his voice, and he couldn’t stop the grin that began tugging on the corners of his lips. cade’s sudden intrusion had him pulling away ever so slightly, reaching back to give the dog an affection pat on the head, “you want some love, too, don’t you? okay, c’mon then.” stealing one more quick kiss from her lips, he pushed open his door and moved around to the back, hooking the pup on a leash before letting him out to run around. reaching down, he grabbed a handful of the plush snow and threw it in josie’s direction, “gotcha.” 

josie watched as he moved from the car, eyes following each of his movements for a while before she even attempted to get out. the past few days without him were nothing short of miserable and just being near him made her incredibly happy. she moved from the car before walking around to the back seat, working to grab some of their stuff to bring inside when she felt a ball of snow hit her back. “seriously?” she questioned, turning around to face him. without another though, she leaned down to pick up a ball of snow herself and threw it back in his direction. “you’re a child, sinclair.”

“hmm,” sebastian hummed, gnawing on the inside of his lip as he pretended to come up with an answer to her question, “you’re cute, even i can admit that– and you look good naked. i think that’s about all i can come up with on the spot.” the grin that had been threatening to pull up on his lips finally emerged as he shot a quick wink her way. giving her hand a squeeze, he maneuvered the car into a parking space outside the apartment building and shifted it into park before turning to face her. “i’m sure we’ll figure it out,” he murmured quietly, leaning across the center console to steal a kiss from her lips, “welcome home.” 

“you know,” josie began, words drawing out slower than she intended. her head was shaking side to side when she continued, “i’m starting to think you only like me when i’m naked.” she teased, a single brow lifting as she spoke. the second the car was in park and he had turned to face her, a smile spread across her lips and her heart beat began to pick up. “home.” she repeated the word slowly, leaning in to to capture his lips in another slow kiss and her hand moved to rest against his cheek. the kiss was short lived only because cade eventually moved to rest his paws on the center console before rubbing his wet nose against her cheek. “i think someone isn’t getting enough attention.” she mumbled after pulling away, head nodding back to the dog.

“only a few?” he quickly shot back, the sounds of feigned offense coloring his tone while a look of shock graced his features. sebastian knew her words were far from the truth, but he was more than happy to go along with her playful jabs, “i mean, i can only think of one or two for you so–,” his shoulders rose and fell in a shrug, “i guess we’re even.” her suggestion that they head home was definitely smart and he nodded his head, steering the car through the icy snow, “good idea. i definitely have the ingredients to make some sort of pasta since that’s all addison eats. we can ransack the pantry when we get home and figure something out.” 

“yeah? what are the one or two things?” she questioned, shifting her body now to face in front of her, eyes focusing on the snow on the road in front of them. josie lifted their hands up, lips pressing against the back of his hand. “i know we have some ice cream in the freezer. we can just have ice cream for dinner and call it a night.” she turned to look at him again, shoulders shrugging slowly. “or we push dinner back. we can take cade out for a walk and take a bath or something to warm up after.”

“music to my ears,” he sighed dramatically, dropping his head against the back of the seat and sneaking a quick glance her way from the corner of his eyes, “i remember a time when you wouldn’t have dared utter those words where i was concerned. i must really be a catch, huh?” he spoke playfully, his hand on her knee squeezing tightly before flipping over and interlocking with her fingers. “yes, dinner. yes, movies– although we probably won’t be watching them, if you know what i mean,” he grinned, his words laden with tease, “why don’t we see if there are any supermarkets open and i’ll grab something to cook. what’re you in the mood for?”

josie let out a soft hum, shaking her head side to side in response. “i wouldn’t say a catch. you’ve got a few things going for you that i like, i guess.” a few may have been an understatement but that was another thing she could keep from him for a while longer. “perfect. i hate watching movies anyway.” her hand squeezed his back as she spoke. she let out a soft sigh as she let her head fall against the head rest, taking a moment to think. “we could make pasta. or just–  skip the store. see what we have at home or order in. no need to be out in this weather any longer.”

the second josie set foot outside the sorority house, a grin broke across sebastian’s face and his heart began to race inside his chest. it should have been alarming, the effect she had on him, but in that moment, there was not a thing he would have changed. she was barely even seated beside him before his lips were landing on hers, his hands lacing through her dark hair to pull her as close as possible. the kiss was cut off too short for his liking, but he pulled away nonetheless, the corners of his lips twitching as he stifled a laugh, “absolutely repulsive.” shifting the car into gear, he pulled away from the curb, slowly heading in the direction of their home. “we’re not leaving the apartment until we absolutely have to, okay? okay. good talk,” he spoke quickly, reaching over to wrap a hand over her knee, “i missed you.” 

simply being around him had managed to warm her heart. a permanent smile seemed to etch itself onto her features. her eyes were practically glued to him as he spoke, each of her hands moving to rest on top of his. “good talk.” she agreed with a single nod of her head. “i missed you too.” she replied, tongue running over her lower lip as she spoke. “too much.” she added in, eyes eventually moving from his to the dog in the back seat before moving back to him. “what’s the first order of business then? dinner? some movies?”

sebastian had made it a total of three days in the sorority house before waving his white flag in surrender. a very small portion of the crowd had thinned– no doubt the students living off campus braving the storm to head back to their respective apartments– but there were still far too many bodies milling around the small space for anyone to be comfortable. he’d spent most of his time tending to cade to ensure the small pup was behaving, but his constant texts back and forth with josie had only managed to increase his desire to leave. he missed her– a lot. after their last conversation, he was more than ready to bust out of the stuffy kappa house in an attempt to make it home. suddenly thankful he’d only brought a few small items with him, he was able to quickly gather his belongings and walk out the front door with cade tucked snugly under his arm. the drive over to the pi gamma house was slow due to the fact that the snow still covered a majority of the roads, but he arrived a handful of minutes later, shooting her quick text to let her know he was outside waiting, ‘c’mon, pretty lady’, his message read, ‘let’s go home’.

@ofjocelyns

getting stuck at her sorority house was far more miserable than she had anticipated and it was easily because of the fact that there were men wandering the halls of the once quiet house. part of the reason may have been the fact that she was separated from sebastian for longer than she had wanted be she would never admit to that. she had packed her belongings the second he had said he would come pick her up and was quick to make her way out of the house when she got his final text. josie did her best to trudge through the un-shoveled snow, heading to the back of the car to toss her bag in. she placed a kiss to the top of the puppies head before moving to the passenger seat of the car to settle in. without saying a single word, josie turned in her seat and lifted a hand to rest on the back of his neck to pull him in for a slow kiss, taking her time in an attempt to make up for lost time. “disgusting,” she mumbled after pulling away, lips still hovering close to his. josie lips curled up into a smirk and she  placed another kiss against his lips before moving back to settle in her seat. “take me home.” her hand finally dropped from his neck, moving to rest on his forearm instead. “all i want is to be locked in the apartment with my two favorite guys.”
