Trapped In Her Heart

Ellie sighed and nodded her head, "I know but now I think I could keep it you know. Maybe I could just leave the lights open when I am at work and then we could play with her together after work. It would be fun but anyway, no point thinking about it since she is already adopted. Never mind, I'll make pasta for dinner today, is that okay or do you want something else?" 

"Pasta is fine." He would eat anything that she would make for him, even a broccoli salad which he hated the most.

"Your suitcase, the one you had taken for the trip is still in my room. I washed your clothes along with mine in the morning before going to work so you can go and change if you want to," she suggested.

"Hmm, I'll go and change first," he smiled. 

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she awkwardly asked, "You are staying right?" 

Walking towards her, he grabbed her hand and nodded his head. "If you want me to stay, I'll stay and if you don't want me to stay, I'll stay. So the conclusion is, I'll stay whether you like it or not." 

Ellie chuckled and helplessly shook her head. Why would she not want him to stay? In fact, she wanted him to stay with her forever. 

Brushing away her silly thoughts, she asked, "Will Ava not feel alone? I mean she is staying with you right?" 

"Hmm but Ava will manage on her own unlike you so—"

Cutting him off, she asked, "What do you mean?" 

"I am more needed here because no one knows when the talented Ellie Miller will somehow manage to fall down and break her nose so—" tapping her nose, he added, "I need to be around when that will happen so that I can save you."

Pinching his waist, she faked a smile. "Haha so funny." 

He hissed in pain and frowned, "Hey, that was a bad pinch."

Pinching him once again, she asked, "Ahh really?"

"You—" before he could grab her hand, she squealed and ran away from him.

Taking off his coat, he folded his sleeves and said, "You are so dead," before chasing her.

Sticking her tongue out at him, she chuckled, "You think your old bones can catch me?"

Sebastian stopped midway and frowned deeper, "Did you just call me old?" 

"Maybe," she chuckled.

Rushing towards her, he managed to grab the hem of her t-shirt and pulled her towards himself. 

Ellie squealed and started laughing out loud when he started tickling her. 

"Uh huh who is old now? Tell me Ellie, who is old?" 

"No…...sorry…..haha please stop," she shouted before pushing him away but Sebastian ended up tripping on the carpet and falling on the couch and as he was holding the hem of her t-shirt, Ellie ended up falling on top of him. 

Wrapping his around her waist to make sure that she doesn't end up falling, he started laughing. 

Slapping his chest, Ellie pouted her lips, "This is cheating." 

"You are such a baby—" squishing her bottom lips, he chuckled, "A cute little baby." 

Caressing her cheek, he added, "I missed you alot El, I really did." 

Placing her head on his chest, she smiled, "I missed you too." 

Kissing the top of her head, he sighed and hugged her tighter. Now when Ellie was back in his life, everything was peaceful again. This short separation made him realize that all the changes in his life were because of her and with her gone, he would automatically turn into the same boring him from the past which was no more fun.

There was a time when he used to love living that way but now when he was slowly getting used to living his life in Ellie's style and with her, he realized how boring he was in the past.

It was time for Sebastian Stewart to experience how it feels when the air is pink and the sky is purple.

"Seb,"

"Hmm,"

Snuggling closer, she said, "Your phone is ringing." 

"Forget it," he was enjoying the most precious and priceless moment of his life with her and he didn't want anyone to interrupt them. Everything else could wait but could he wait for this moment to happen again, a big no.

Resting her chin on his chest, she said, "You should receive the call and I need to cook dinner for us." 

"You will let me hug you again right?" He asked.

Pulling his cheeks, she chuckled and nodded her head. He could hug her whenever he wanted, who was she to say no to his warm hugs.

Getting off him, she made her way towards the kitchen. 

Sebastian sighed and started looking for his phone which was constantly ringing. But he immediately tossed it aside when he saw it who was. He was in a very good mood to deal with his mother. Ellie was back after two whole weeks and he wanted to keep the atmosphere and vibe around them calm and fluffy.

…..

Next day.

Park.

"Wait a second, let me have a closer look," 

Ellie chuckled and asked, "What?"

"Hmm, I smell love," Markus grinned.

Slumping on the bench, she sighed, "He is so sweet, gentle, kind, handsome and—"

Cutting her off, Markus chuckled, "Alright, I was just teasing you but it seems like you are already head over heels for him." 

"He flew all the way to Seattle just because he missed me and we also spent the entire night together watching movies but this time, we shared the same blanket and—"

"In which century are you living in, little woman? It's the twenty-first century for Gods sake so can you at least initiate a kiss? Well, I heard that youngsters have s.e.x in the first date these days. Hmmm what do you people call that?" Thinking for a while, he added, "Hookups, youngsters have so many hookups these days and there you are blushing after sharing a blanket." 

Without waiting for her reply, he added, "I know you aren't a hookup kind of a girl but a kiss won't harm right?"
