《Back to You | ✓》19.

After finishing their lunch with Margaret, Mia wanted a cup of tea and Sebastian decided he too, could go for a coffee. This led to them staying back at the restaurant for a little longer.
Usually in this circumstance, two people would generally make small talk and possible get to know one another, however, Sebastian and Mia took this opportunity to just mess with each other, offering snarky remarks and witty comments.
Once the last drop of their cups was finished, the two got up from their seats to head back to work.
"Wait," Mia said and Sebastian turned to look at her.
"What is it?" He asked impatiently, feeling as if enough time was wasted away from work.
Mia pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, looking away slightly. "I need to use the restroom."
She didn't mean for it to sound like she was asking for permission, but it was rather to inform him that she needed ago. If she just went and he found that she wasn't trailing after him like a lost puppy, he might twist it around and just use it as an excuse to fire her or something under wasting time.
Sebastian shifted a little awkwardly on his feet, it definitely wasn't something that he expected her to say.
"Hurry up," he then muttered, not sure on what else to say.
Mia felt her lips quiver, trying to hold in the smile she felt coming through as she noticed he felt uncomfortable. Instead of saying anything, she turned and made her way to the restroom.
After a moment of just waiting, Sebastian decided to just leave. He didn't see a reason to stick around and he wasn't keen on waiting for Mia either. She knows her way back to the office, she's not a child.
He was just about to step out of the restaurant, until someone blocked his way.
A small figure had bumped into him, causing her to stumble back a little.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you," the brunette apologised to him.
"It's fine. My mistake," Sebastian replied and tried to step around her, only for the woman to step into his way.
He noticed the woman was blatantly checking him out, whilst he just stood there for her, like some item on a showcase.
"Well, aren't you handsome?" She observed, and he saw that her eyes traveled all over his form, before they managed to look up and into his eyes.
This caused him to feel a little uncomfortable.

He knew that this woman was beautiful and it was flattering that she seemed to like him, but as she raked her eyes over his body, from head to toe, he didn't know what to do.
In the meantime, Sebastian hadn't noticed that Mia had come out of the restroom.
She expected him to have left her behind, knowing him all too well, so instead looking out for him Mia headed towards the exit.
However, she stopped when she saw Sebastian talking to some brunette and decided to hang back to see what he does.
She couldn't believe that despite having a girlfriend, he would flirt with others. Anna was a witch and just sucked out positive energy in a room, but she was still his girlfriend.
"I love your tie," the woman then said, boldly running her hands across his necktie, which slightly startled Sebastian.
"This is nauseating," Mia muttered to herself, when she observed the interaction between the two and how they unashamedly checked each other out.
However, the longer she looked, she noticed something. He wasn't flirting. His rigid posture and the way he was leaning back slightly, he was feeling uneasy.
"Well, you clearly have great taste," Sebastian then replied, not knowing how else to respond to that.
He was never really one to flirt. When he found a woman attractive, he would just tell her, like he did with Anna. That seemed to do the trick. Or he would compliment her. Flirting wasn't something that came to him naturally, like it did for some like Blake.
The woman appeared to swoon at his words and then giggled.
'Bloody hell, this isn't having the right effect,' Sebastian thought to himself. He wasn't trying to make her come onto him.
Mia, who was standing behind them, made a gagging motion.
She couldn't actually tell now, if he was flirting or not. His words seemed like he was, but then again, he still as that tense posture. Mia always though he had some kind of stick up his rear, but now it seemed like it was true.
"You say those kinds of lines to everyone?" The brunette asked.
"I assure you, I do not," Sebastian replied.
Mia rolled her eyes from behind him. Did he want her or not? A part of her genuinely wish that Anna was there to witness this interaction, knowing that would be real entertainment.
The brunette seemed to be in love with all Sebastian's lines, even though he wasn't trying to do anything.

"You're a charmer," she noted.
Mia nearly let out a snort at this. 'Oh, he really is. You should hear what he says to me,' she thought, her mind wondering back to all his insults.
"Thank you," Sebastian nodded stiffly.
"Aren't you Sebastian Carter?" She then asked, and this question seemed to unnerve him.
"Um yes, how did you know?" He asked cautiously and stepped back a little, when the brunette moved closer towards him.
"I've seen pictures of you on the internet. I didn't think you could look even better in person," she said.
Sebastian eyes widened in slight fear. "Well, thank you for that," he said awkwardly.
Mia couldn't help but snicker a little.
"And oh my God, you're standing right here and flirting with me," the brunette then squealed.
Sebastian just looked to around to the side of him, hoping that her squeal didn't catch attention. He really didn't understand how he was flirting with her, he was only trying to be polite.
Mia wanted to burst out laughing. She couldn't see his face, but knew it was one of those 'deer caught in headlights' expressions.
"I actually-" Sebastian began to say, trying to think of words, any words, to help out in this situation.
"You're so hot," the brunette then stated. "I'm Gwen, by the way," she finally introduced herself.
"Hello, Gwen." Sebastian said, trying to be polite to the woman, who appeared to be on cloud nine at the moment. "If you'll excuse-,"
"I shouldn't tell you this but I've fantasised about meeting you for a long time. You're so beautiful. I mean handsome. So very handsome. I've seen you on Instagram. Can I get a picture?" She excitedly rambled on.
At this point, Mia put a hand over her mouth to muffle her laughter, her eyes brimming with tears from the hilarious moment.
"I really don't do pictures," Sebastian said, as he noticed Gwen fumbling with her purse to get out her phone.
"But you're so hot. You're definitely photogenic," Gwen replied with a pout. She seemed very hopeful in getting her picture, even pulling her phone up.
Mia then decided she should probably come to his rescue, being a nice person and all.
She moved forward and looped her arm within Sebastian's, an action that left him visible stunned, more than he was with Gwen.
"Actually, I'd rather my boyfriend not take pictures with random girls, if that's alright."
A look of shock came over Gwen's face by Mia's sudden arrival. "You're what?" She asked.
Mia gave her an apologetic look. "Sorry about his. I actually challenged him that he couldn't get a pretty girls' number. I saw you about to walk in and you were perfect, but I don't want to hurt your feelings either," she lied.
Sebastian's arm, uncontrollably and as if having a mind of its own, unhooked from Mia's grip and instead went around her waist.
This caused Mia to stiffen and she turned to glare at him, but then noticed that he wasn't even looking at her, but at Gwen, and had a smile on his face.
Mia words didn't seem to offend Gwen, who just shrugged and smiled, coinciding with her seemingly cheerful nature.
"Oh no, that's okay. I get it. He's real catch though," she said, offering Sebastian a wink.
He tensed, his grip on Mia's waist tightening as he pulled her a little closer, as if to shield and protect him.
"Oh, he's something alright," Mia stated and nudged him with her elbow.
"We should go," Sebastian then said, finally taking his arm off of her, after realising what he was doing.
"Bye Gwen. It was nice to meet you," Mia said with a smile.
"Bye bye," Gwen replied and went inside the restaurant.
Both Sebastian and Mia walked out, with him fixing his tie that Gwen had pulled slightly out of place.
"Sweet girl" Mia then noted, thinking about how lively and upbeat she seemed.
"Bit of a nut," Sebastian replied.
Mia gave him a look. "You didn't think that when you were hitting on her," she stated, despite knowing that it was far from flirting on his side. He looked more like a tense robot.
Instead of denying that he was hitting on her, Sebastian couldn't help but tease Mia.
"Was someone a little jealous?" Sebastian asked with a mirthful smile.
"Please, I saved your sorry behind," Mia scoffed.
At this, Sebastian abruptly stopped and Mia halted a few steps ahead when she noticed this.
"You did not," Sebastian refused like child.
Mia looked at him for a moment and then decided to mess with him.
"Then let me just get Gwen back..." she said, stepping into the direction of the restaurant quickly and Sebastian's eyes widened.
"No, wait. Mia!" He shouted. "Come back!" Sebastian then chased after her, whilst Mia just laughed.
