Trapped In Her Heart

Shrugging his shoulders, Sebastian inquired, "What am I trying to do?" 

"You are purposely saying this because you know that there is no way I would let you miss this dinner." Throwing her hand in her mouth, she gasped, "You are turning sly day by day Sebastian Stewart." 

"Sly? How can you call me sly?" Pinching her lower lips, he chuckled, "I just said that I am not going anywhere without you, doesn't that make me a good boyfriend?"

When Ellie glared at him, he looked at Melissa and inquired, "You tell me Mel, doesn't that make me a good boyfriend?" 

"Of course, it makes you so good and loyal," Melissa answered. 

"Mel, how can you take his side like that?" Ellie scoffed. 

"Alright, lets not fuss about it anymore but I am going to stick to what I said, we are going together or we are not going at all," Sebastian stated in a very affirmative and serious tone. 

Raising his hand, Noah added, ��Just to let you know, mom is really anticipating Seb's arrival because he seldom agrees to visit them." 

"And now if mom finds out that Seb did not come because you didn't want to go then imagine what she will think of you." When Ellie gulped in nervousness, Melissa placed her hand on her shoulder. "But don't worry El, I'll tell mom that though it seems like you have a really bad attitude but it's nothing like that." 

Helplessly shaking his head, Noah sighed, "I hope she will not misunderstand our Ellie." 

"Of course she will but—" Kissing the top of her head, Sebastian smiled, "Don't worry, I'll talk to her later and explain everything." 

Thinking for quite some time, Ellie snapped, "No need to say anything, I'll go." There was already a pressure of convincing Sebastian's mother to accept their relationship, Ellie had no intention of unnecessarily upsetting someone else too. 

"Really? It's okay if you—�� 

Placing her finger on his lips, she glared at him, "Don't say a word Mr Stewart." 

"Yes because if you do, Ellie will throw you out of the house," Melissa chuckled. 

Grabbing her wrist, Sebastian kissed her palm and stated, "My Ellie will never do that, right honey?" 

Slapping his hand away, Ellie scoffed, "Of course I will. Play you sly tricks on me one more time, I'll throw you out of the house and stay there peacefully with my two fur babies or I will take the two of them and shift to my old apartment." 

Pating Sebastian's shoulder, Noah sighed, "The threats have started bro, you gotta be careful now." 

…..

Clavin's place. 

Charlotte's room. 

Snuggling closer, Charlotte sighed, "You should go." 

"Okay," Brandon answered before tightening his grip around her. She had been telling him the same thing for about an hour now but she was also too reluctant to let him go and it was the same for Brandon. 

After the intense discussion and reconciliation, Charlotte and Brandon started dating each other officially. They would spend almost all their time together and were almost inseparable. Things were so intense that he even took her to his office where she would sit on the couch and do her thing while he would complete his work. 

Despite the initial difficulties, their relationship was running quite smoothly and things were turning to be much more serious than they had thought. Both of them were seriously giving this relationship their best shot and wanted it to be something really very special.

"I don't want you to go," she complained. 

Kissing the top of her head, he sighed, "I don't wanna go either but I have to attend the meeting babe, it's important." 

Drawing circles around his button, she asked, "Can I come with you?" 

"I don't really have a problem but won't you get bored?" When she shook her head, he smiled, "Alright then, lets go." 

Burying her head on his chest, she apologized, "I am sorry for being so clingy, I—" 

Cutting her off, he frowned, "What are you apologizing for? I love it when you are clingy, it makes me feel loved." 

Slipping her hand inside her shirt, she whispered, "There are other ways to make you feel loved." 

"I-I think we should go." Without waiting for her reply, he quickly got up.

Raising her brows, she grabbed his arm and curiously inquired, "Seriously Brandon, what is wrong with you?" 

"What is wrong with me? Nothing babe, everything is normal." 

"You know what I am talking about." Taking a deep breath, she continued, "It's not like we have to do it now but the way you are avoiding it is making me feel uncomfortable." 

"Avoiding? I am not avoiding anything." 

"And now you are lying to me." Helplessly shaking her head, she got down from the bed and made her way towards the washroom. 

Slumping on the bed, Brandon sighed and punched the pillow right on his face. 

….

Sebastian and Ellie's apartment. 

"Are you sure it's okay to take them too?" 

"Of course honey, aunt Rosy ordered me to bring them." Without waiting for her reply, Sebastian explained further, "When I told her that we have adopted these two naughty ones, she asked me to bring them too."

Scrunching her brows, Ellie inquired, "Wait, since you told aunt Rose about them that means you told them about us as well." 

"Of course I did and she is super excited to meet you. She also asked me about your favorite dish and I told her everything that you like," Sebastian answered. 

"Ah then that 'I'll go only if you go' was a trick?" When he nodded his head, she frowned and placed her hands on her hip, "What would you do if I didn't agree to go with you?" 

Tapping the tip of her nose, he smiled, "I knew that you would go with me no matter what." 

"And who are you so sure?" 

"I know you very well honey, more than you know yourself," he answered. 

Placing her hand on his chest, she slowly pushed him away, "Sly."
