《Actions Speak Louder Than Fortune Cookies》94 - Not a Drill
Advertisement
The next morning, while waiting for breakfast to arrive, Rylee was talking with Alexa on FaceTime, catching up on what she missed in the lives of her and Chris.
Chris' movie promo had been going well. He had changed up his filmography and was doing voice acting work for a movie called Lightyear, which was an animated movie about the man that the Buzz Lightyear toy was based off of.
Alexa mentioned that Chris was sometimes annoyed about it, though he would never admit it. People who didn't watch the trailers or just look it up, automatically assumed he was the new Buzz Lightyear and they were saying he'd never take Tim Allen's place, but he wasn't even playing the same character.
"He's not the same Ry!" Rylee heard Chris yell faintly in the background, causing her to laugh.
"I know Chris, I know. Someday people will catch on." Rylee reassured him with a chuckle.
As they continued chatting, Alexa was multitasking, talking with her and scrolling through her iPad, reading up on the days news.
Rylee saw Alexa's face change for a quick moment as she glimpsed up into the camera and then back down, stopping her scroll.
"What..." Rylee said, focusing sternly on Alexa.
"It's...well..." Alexa started. Rylee saw Chris hovering over Alexa's shoulder now, reading what she had, making a yikes sort of face.
"If y'all don't tell me, like yesterday, I'm goin-"
"Paparazzi found you guys."
Rylee relaxed a bit, "Oh, yeah, we saw them yesterday..."
"Well... just... here." Alexa said tapping a few times on her iPad and soon, Alexa's text notification went off.
She clicked away from the call and opened the link Alexa sent her.

Alert the presses! Never mind we already know! It's finally happened.
Everyone keep calm.
Sebastian Stan, who plays James Buchanan Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his girlfriend, Rylee Summers, are , or at least that's what the beautiful ring on her finger screams to us.
Sebastian and Rylee were seen at JFK briefly last week, but their destination was unknown, until now. The two lovebirds were seen wandering the streets of Rome, Italy last night, and saying hi to a few fans.
Rylee stood back a few feet, giving the fans some space, but, at first, didn't make much effort to hide the newly acquired diamond ring on her left hand.
Though in our pictures it just looks like a gold band, our photogs saw the ring themselves before Rylee had noticed they were there and slyly tried to turn the ring over into her palm. We assume she was hoping to hide it, but we're on to you Miss Summers. Or should we say,
So, congratulations Sebastian and Rylee! We can't wait til you two tie the knot!

Rylee slumped her head over, thunking it on the table, sighing loudly, basically a groan.
"Ry? You good?" Rylee heard Sebastian yell from the bathroom.
Sebastian poked his head out of the bathroom door, hair still dripping from the shower he just finished.
Rylee just groaned again, as Sebastian came out, sweatpants slung low around his waist, rubbing his hair dry with a towel. Rylee held her phone up for Sebastian to read.

His eyebrows shot up as he read the article. "Well then..."
Rylee continued to lowly groan, head on the table. Sebastian put his hand on her back, rubbing it gently, "It's fine...everyone we wanted to know first knows...we knew it would happen eventually."
"Yeah but I wish we could just do shit ourselves instead of having people we don't know do it for us." Rylee replied, sticking her hands out, exasperated.
"I know, baby, I know." Sebastian said, leaning over to kiss the top of Rylee's head. He came around and sat beside her at the table to join their call, placing his hand on her knee, squeezing it gently.
"How about we just take it as it comes. If and when people ask us about it, we talk about it, and if not, we leave it be?"
Rylee turned her head to the side now, looking towards Sebastian and nodded sadly, exaggerated pout across her lips.
"It'll be fine." Sebastian's crooked smile creeping on his face to comfort her.
The conversation drifted to other topics between the four of them, but Sebastian noticed that Rylee still seemed quieter than normal. She was picking at her nails as everyone spoke, occasionally adding some commentary here and there. But definitely not the usual, peppy Ry.
They eventually said their goodbyes and Rylee hung up the phone. She was leaning on her hand now, elbow holding her up on the table. A piece of hair fell into her face that she tried to blow out of the way, but to no avail, annoying her.
Sebastian stood up, leaning towards her to push the stray strand behind Rylee's ear. "Hey...come here." Sebastian offered out his hand, which Rylee took easily.
He walked her over to the couch, facing the window, their view of the colosseum still breathtakingly close.
Sebastian sat down and Rylee sat down slowly next to him. He patted his thigh and Rylee didn't hesitate to lay down, her head ending up in his lap. Sebastian's hand, like a magnet to steel, immediately drifted to Rylee's hair, slowly combing through it.
"Talk to me..." Sebastian spoke quietly, almost a whisper. Just enough for Rylee to hear.
A single tear rolled across Rylee's cheek, that she quickly swiped away before she spoke, "I know we've talked a million and a half times about how being in the spotlight sometimes means you miss out on doing things your way...but God I wish we could've just had this."
She looked down at her left hand, twisting her ring around lightly with her thumb. Sebastian reached down to take her left hand into his grip, touching the ring himself, "I know, baby, me too..but I mean, at the end of the day we still do. It's like we have said before, fuck the tabloids. We have the truth. We can run with it however we please."
Rylee looked up at him and nodded. "I know you mentioned just letting people find out when they find out...but what if we just post it on Instagram? Take control of it ourselves? Talk about it how we want to talk about it?"

"I'm game. We might break Instagram though," Sebastian said with a wink.
Rylee finally laughed, a real genuine laugh, for the first time in the last hour, which sent a warmth through Sebastian. God I love her.
"How about we make our own separate posts? Make it a surprise?" Rylee asked, sitting up now, but leaned heavily into Sebastian's side as he threw his arm over her shoulder.
"Pfft. Obviously." Sebastian replied, looking at his watch. "Wanna do it now? We've got about an hour before we've gotta be across the street."
"Yeah absol- wait. Be across the street? Are we going to the Colosseum today?" Rylee asked moving away from him to look at his face for his response.
Sebastian shrugged with a smirk on his face.
"Seb!" Rylee yelped before she put her hands on either side of his and kissed him hard.
Sebastian laughed coming out of the kiss and spoke quickly, "Alright! We've got work to do." Sebastian stood up and headed for the bedroom, "This is super secret. So I'm going over there. Don't you dare come peeking." He pointed two fingers from his eyes to hers, as if to say "I've got my eyes on you."
Rylee laughed and crossed her heart as she took out her phone to plan what she wanted to post, though it was hard to focus through her excitement for their afternoon plans and watching Sebastian walk away in those glorious fitting sweatpants.
After about ten minutes, Sebastian poked his head back in to the living room, "How'd it go?"
"Perfect. You?" Rylee asked as she watched Sebastian walk up behind the couch behind her.
"Amazing." Sebastian said as he leaned down to kiss Rylee upside down over the back of the couch.
Sebastian came back around and sat down by Rylee, both going to the other's social media to see their posts.
Well, shit!!! 💍
I asked this woman to marry me and for some reason she said yes?
They both laughed heartily at each other's posts, curling closer together on the couch and putting their phones away, taking in the view out the window in front of them.
"I love you, Ryles." Sebastian whispered into Rylee's hair as he pulled her even closer.
"And I love you more, Seb," Rylee leaned into his chest.
"Mmmm. Not possible," Sebastian smirked.
——————————
About an hour later they started their trek over to the Colosseum.
They were greeted quickly by a man Rylee could only assume was a tour guide. He wore khaki pants, and a white polo shirt, hair slicked back out of his face.
"Ciao! Benvenuto al Colosseo!" The man introduced himself joyously, "Siete, eh, Sebastian e Rylee?"
"Si! Scusa non parliamo molto Italiano.." Sebastian tried to explain their lack of Italian language knowledge, hoping it wouldn't make their tour difficult.
"Oh, thank goodness," the man laughed, "my Italian is not great. I'm originally from Utah."
Sebastian and Rylee laughed as well.
"I'm usually the English tour guide, but I have to start the tour in Italian, just in case. Anyway, I'm Trevor! Nice to meet you! Big fan." Trevor stated, sticking his hand out to shake Rylee and Sebastian's hands.
"Nice to meet you too, and thanks," Sebastian chuckled, running his hand through his hair.
Rylee always got a kick out of Sebastian's inability to receive compliments. It didn't matter who they were from, he still got flustered.
"Alrighty, well, let's get to it!" Trevor said as he clapped his hands once and led them inside.
"Oh, it's just us?" Rylee asked, confused.
"Yeppers. Private tour with yours truly," Trevor replied.
Rylee looked towards Sebastian who was trying to hide his smirk. She bumped her hip into his making him step off balance for a second, letting out a laugh. He got back on track and threw his arm over Rylee's shoulder as she looped her arm around his waist, pulling each other close.
"What brought you here from Utah? Heck of a trip." Rylee asked as the three of them walked into the Colosseum.
"I have a Classics and Ancient History degree from Indiana University. I've always loved Roman history specifically. So, tada! Also big into Pompeii. You should definitely go visit there."
"That's awesome," Sebastian replied, "That would definitely be an interesting place to see."
Rylee nodded in agreement.
Trevor continued walking them throughout the Colosseum, pointing out various facts and figures about the architecture and uses of the building, along with small talk and banter.
Rylee took in every inch of the building, loving it all. Roman history was so unbelievably fascinating to her. She could spend all day here. But after about two hours, their tour with Trevor was coming to an end.
"Thank you so much Trevor! This was amazing!" Rylee stated excitedly.
"You're so very welcome! It's nice when the people on the tour actually care and are interested, instead of just being high school kids on a school trip." Trevor laughed.
They all stopped where they had begun and turned to all face each other.
"It was great adventuring around here with you! I hope the rest of your trip is a blast," Trevor said as he shook hands with Rylee and Sebastian again.
They both thanked him extensively and soon they heard a group of teenagers starting to approach from the left entrance.
"Speaking of high schoolers on a school trip," Trevor said as he rolled his eyes slightly, "that's my next group...but it was seriously great to meet you both, have a great rest of the day!"
Trevor turned away from them and began walking towards the group, "Ciao! Benvenuto al Colosseo!"
Rylee stifled a laugh knowing now that Trevor had to say that spiel at the beginning of every tour.
Sebastian adjusted his hat to try to be sly and sneak by the group of high schoolers, putting his hands in his pockets. Rylee looped her arm through his and gripped his bicep as they walked out of the Colosseum.
