Sebastian and Rylee finished up their coffee and goods and made their way back to the front of the cafe, hand in hand.

"You two outta here already?" Ken asked.

"Yeah, I've got meetings this afternoon so we've gotta head out, but thank you for today...it means a lot." Sebastian said almost coyly with layered double meaning.

"Any time guys! We'll be seein' yah!" Ken responded, being none the wiser that he just helped blossom a new relationship.

"Have a nice day Ken! Tell Lisa we said goodbye!" Rylee tacked on.

"Will do!" Ken smiled and went on washing mugs, waving a soapy hand goodbye.

Sebastian and Rylee walked towards the door and she stopped briefly in the doorway.

"Something wrong?" Sebastian asked.

"I wanna hold your hand so damn bad....but I don't wanna start up any more drama than the news already creates..." Rylee bit her lip, thinking.

Without any hesitation, Sebastian grabbed hold of her hand, giving her a reassuring squeeze, and led them out the door. He oozed confidence and poise as they made their way onto the street, heading towards his parked car. To say she had butterflies in her stomach over it was an understatement. The way his fingers locked perfectly with hers, made it impossible to wipe the smile off

"I think we can try to enjoy our three minute walk down the street together and worry about the logistics later." Sebastian commented with a smile, though the entire walk he begged in his head that they could just have this moment for themselves. They had literally just started dating like 20 minutes ago, he hoped they could walk in peace.

Surprisingly enough, they made it to Sebastian's car without any unwanted encounters. When they got in, there was a beat of silence and a sigh of relief. Rylee leaned over and gave Sebastian a peck on the cheek.

"What was that for?" He asked with a chuckle.

"You're my boyfriend. I can't kiss you?" Rylee smirked.

"Oh, well in that case..." Sebastian leaned over, his hand raked around the back of her head, reeling her in for a searing kiss. Tongues meshing together in perfect rhythm. Lips moving with fervor over one another. Breaths mixing, heating the small space that was left between them. After a few heated moments, they both pulled away to catch their breath.

"I hate that I actually have to start work today." Sebastian groaned, leaning his head back on the headrest and gripping his hands on the steering wheel.

"Oh, yeah, that's today huh.."

"Yeah...we're doing table reads tonight and getting dinner brought in for the cast and crew."

"Well at least you can see some of your friends you haven't seen in a while." She tried to suggest to cheer him up.

"Yeah, but I'd rather spend the night in with you." Sebastian almost whispered, pouting in her direction.

"Well, let's just take advantage of our afternoon together then." She smiled gently, "we could head back to my place and hang out for a little before you have to go."

"Why don't we go to my place. I haven't gotten to take you there yet, plus the place we're all meeting is near your house anyway. I could drop you off on my way."

"Sounds like a plan to me."

Sebastian put the car in drive and started on their way to his apartment. It was still only early afternoon and the sun was high in the sky. Though the tinted window on Sebastian's car made it seem much darker out, blocking the uv rays.

After about ten minutes, they pulled up to what looked like a pre war style, ten story apartment building. It was made of beautiful white brick and she guessed the views of Manhattan and Central Park were to die for. It looked simple, but she knew by the area they were in it probably wouldn't be so "simple" inside. Sebastian opened Rylee's door as she gawked at the building.

Rylee was absolutely right. As they walked into the lobby, she was taken aback by the beauty of it. There were marble framed doorways throughout as well as beautiful marble floors. There were two elevators near the doorman's wide oak desk. Above them in the center of the room was a beautiful chandelier. It wasn't large, but big enough to perfectly fill the space.

"Welcome back Mr. Stan...Miss."

"Shawn, I'm surprised you're here. Usually Jim's clocked in by now."

"Yeah, he had a thing, so I'm covering for him." He smiled.

"Oh, Shawn, this is Rylee Summers. My girlfriend. Rylee, this is Shawn."

They both greeted one another and then Sebastian dismissed themselves to the elevator, pushing the call button. "We'll be leaving again in a bit, so we'll see you again soon enough." Sebastian laughed.

"Sounds good sir," Shawn nodded.

The elevator dinged and the two clamored in as Sebastian hit the 7 for his floor.

"Shawn seems nice." Rylee said, killing the silence of the elevator ride.

"He really is. Usually he's the night shift doorman, so I see him the most. We also have Jim and Paul that cover the afternoons and such. They're all great," he answered as the elevator dinged for his floor.

They made their way down the short hall and Sebastian unlocked his door. Rylee was completely taken aback by its beauty. It was extremely simple but oh so very Seb. It seemed to go on and on. He toured her through his place quickly showing her all the different areas. She could've swore his living room was the size of her whole apartment. He had a large, very comfortable looking couch and love seat, along with a big screen tv and a bookshelf full of various knickknacks. His kitchen had wall to wall Calcutta marble counter tops surrounded by obsidian colored cabinets. Down the hall from the kitchen was a half bathroom, made with the same counter tops and cabinets. It was the kind of bathroom people in her hometown would dub as a "Pittsburgh bathroom". It was his laundry room, but it also contained a toilet and a sink.

There was also a loft that overlooks the living room. Upstairs, he showed her the full bathroom, beautifully covered in ornate tile and dark cabinets, his office, which was simple with shelves filled with books and scripts along with a plain table-like desk. And of course, his bedroom. Why did it make her so nervous to see. He was rather minimalistic with his decorating. His bedroom contained a large walk in closet and various mahogany furniture like a dresser, and a blanket chest at the foot of his king size bed. Throughout all of these rooms he had various decorative art hung to the walls. It was all very well put together yet again, simple.

"Your place is amazing Seb." Rylee still gaped in awe as they made their way back towards the living room.

"Thanks, I honestly haven't put too much work into it. I've been here more often lately so I feel like I should. But I've bounced so much between here and LA in the past I never thought it was important."

Sebastian got cut off by a notification on his phone. A text from Anthony.

"Here we go...." Sebastian said quietly, rolling his eyes. He leaned over with his phone, standing by Rylee to show her what he sent. Another link...to another article..

These two don't seem to be trying too hard to hide the spark

between them since enjoying coffee together over the weekend,

Sebastian Stan and his mystery girl were seen out and about yet again!

The two attended the "Movie Under the Stars" event in Central Park

last night. Swoon! This event happens twice a month from late spring to

early fall and each time the movie feature changes.

Last night, the feature film on the big screen was Dirty Dancing.

How romantic!!

An anonymous source that attended the event saw the two love birds,

describing their night as "looking very much like a picnic dinner date.

They sat together on a blanket with picnic foods, focusing solely on

one another."

Our source also tells us that they stayed cuddled close through

the movie, and Stan was seen passing along a few kisses to the top of the

mystery girl's head!

Can I order a a Sebastian Stan to go please? Sigh.

We'll continue to keep you updated on this adorable new couple!

"Well?" Rylee questioned.

"Well what?" Sebastian asked, confused. That wasn't the response he expected from her.

"Can she order a Sebastian to go?" She said stifling a laugh, "she said please..."

"Oh shut up," he laughed, bumping her with his shoulder.

They both sat down together on the couch and decided they had enough time to watch a movie.

"Can we watch one of yours? One of the Marvel ones?"

"Ughhhh I hate watching my own movies, Ryles."

"Pleaseee?" She tried giving him puppy eyes and a pout.

"Fineeeee." He mimicked back with a small laugh. She cuddled up to him, bringing her legs up beside her on the couch as she leaned into him. He put his arm around her shoulder as he logged onto his Disney+ account and clicked on Captain America: The First Avenger.

Rylee was immediately shocked to see a teeny tiny Chris on the screen. She didn't want to sound stupid but she couldn't understand it. She knew it was "movie magic" but wasn't sure how. Sebastian must've saw the look of complete shock and confusion on her face and saved her the embarrassment of asking, "That's another guy named Leander Deeny's body. They CGIed Chris' face over his."

"Ohhhhhh. Technology is crazy.."

"Hey, pick on someone your own size." The camera panned to Bucky Barnes as he punched the back alley bully, then quite literally kicked his ass for picking on his friend Steve.

Rylee smiled widely, looking from the screen to Sebastian and back.

He looked at her and smiled, blushing, "what?"

"You look like a little baby!" she gushed.

"We filmed this when I was...27? I basically was a baby." He laughed.

"I'm also here for that uniform....lookin' fine Sergeant." She winked.

"Oh my goddddd..." He covered his face with his hand, mainly just trying to cover his blush.

They continued watching the movie together. Rylee had a whole knew outlook on these movies she usually avoided. It was so enthralling watching this man beside her bring this beautifully honest, lovely man Bucky Barnes to life. She asked a good handful of questions that Sebastian welcomed and answered kindly and patiently. She was making it more enjoyable to watch his own movies. Usually he got secondhand embarrassment from doing it, but she made it fun.

"I can't believe you went through all that shit just to fall off a train and die...but I'm guessing since you're still employed, you're not actually dead..but we'll see...so now we need to watch the rest I guess."

"That's cute..."

"What? I want to watch them all!"

"Oh hun...there are 24."

"Excuse me?"

"I mean...I'm game...just let me know if you're here for that time dump." He laughed.

"Well...one down I guess." She laughed in shock. But honestly though. You're really great. You really bring Bucky to life."

"Thanks, doll," he smirked and gave her a peck.

".....yah know what. Yeah. That's fine...I'm here for it." She laughed at the pet name she knew he got from Bucky and the 40s era lingo.

Sebastian looked at the time on his phone and cursed, "Shit. It's already almost 3:00. I hate that we've gotta run, but I've gotta be at work by four or Kevin will kill me."

"It's fine...who's Kevin?"

"The guy who writes my checks," he chortled, "he's the executive producer for the Marvel franchise."

She let out an "oooh" as he packed up his scripts, notes, hoodie and other small items in a backpack and they headed out the door, hand in hand.

After exiting the elevator, they saw Shawn at his desk. "See yah later Shawn," Sebastian waved as they went, keys jingling in his hand, Rylee waved as well.

"Have a good night Mr. Stan, Miss Summers."

They both hopped in the car, and made their way down the block. Sebastian placed his hand on top of Rylee's thigh the whole ride to her apartment, and she placed her hand on top of his. For the short trip to her place, she picked his brain for Bucky Barnes info. He was impressed with some of the questions she asked and many times, he had to just answer "spoilers" with a smirk so he didn't ruin anything for later.

They arrived back at her place faster than expected as they had caught mostly green lights through the city. Sebastian got out of the car and opened Rylee's door, offering her a hand to get out that she took with pleasure.

"Today's been really fun. You made watching my own movies enjoyable again," He laughed as they stood next to his Jaguar. "

"I definitely enjoyed myself too." She smiled.

"I can text you later, but I don't know when we'll get outta there. Sometimes these are a few hours, sometimes they turn into an after party. So we'll see. Either way, you'll definitely hear from me at some point, girlfriend. He emphasized.

"Sounds good, boyfriend." She giggled back.

They both leaned in for a quick peck, both reading each other's minds and thinking about he fact that they are out in the middle of the sidewalk midday. They still need to talk about how public they want to be.

Sebastian walked back to his car, sliding into the drivers seat, he rolled down the windows to say goodbye.

"Have fun. Tell Chris and Anthony I say hi."

"Will do, see yah Ryles." And with that, he drove off towards what he hoped would be a fun evening with his work friends. Table reads were usually pretty interesting..but he hoped tonight's would be worth it since it was keeping him from Rylee.
