Trapped In Her Heart

"Hmm I know but sooner or later this was bound to happen. Though I didn't want to tell anyone about us yet but Seb is quite open about it—" 

Cutting her off, Melissa explained, "Which is very good, I like how Seb isn't restraining himself despite knowing that his parents, especially his mom will definitely raise an objection." 

"Yeah I know but I want things to run smoothly, I just don't want to create a difference between him and his parents. Though we both are independant and big enough to make our own decisions, there are a few things that we have to keep in mind before taking a major step," Ellie explained. 

"Well you both still have plenty of time but I am sure that that woman will definitely tell Rebecca about it and she will come back soon. So I am telling you El, you need to have s.e.x with Sebastian before she comes back and—"

Cutting her off, Ellie chuckled, "Now where did s.e.x come from?" 

"You gotta be kidding me." Placing her hand on Ellie's shoulder, Melissa sighed, "Look babe, I know that Seb will always love you no matter what but believe me or not, intimacy is very important in a relationship. It's not about l.u.s.t or s.e.x, its about making love and knowing your partners touch. You and Seb have been living together for months now, you both are dating each other for quite some time, I think it's time for you both to take a major step." 

Thinking for quite some time, she sighed, "We did try but I chickened out." 

"Uh huh because that was the first time and you weren't ready. Ahh we are going for a vacation soon, I am telling you girl no other place is better than Hawaii to—" Melissa stopped midway when Sebastian entered the kitchen. 

"Babe everyone is here." Looking at Melissa and Ellie simultaneously, Sebastian raised his brows, "Did I interrupted some girly topic?" 

"We were just talking about random things." Looking at Melissa, she instructed, "Mel, why don't you go outside? Seb and I will get some starters for your guys." 

"Okay, I'll take the wine glasses." Grabbing the glasses which were resting on the counter, Melissa walked out of the kitchen. 

Hugging her from behind, Sebastian chuckled, "Did you tell everyone that you chickened out that night?" 

Widening her eyes in shock, she smacked his hand, "Were you eavesdropping our conversation?" 

"I didn't mean to but I was about to enter when Melissa mentioned 'intimacy' so I decided to act a bit sly and listen." Kissing her nape, he sighed, "You don't have to feel bad about last time, we did really have fun in the shower so—" 

Turning towards him, she hooked her arms around his neck, "Hmm we surely did but I still want to make it up to you in a better way." 

Kissing her forehead, he smiled, "We will get there eventually, don't stress over it." 

"I am not stressing, just thinking about it," she answered. 

Shrugging his shoulder, he stated, "Well, if you are feeling so bad about it and really want to make it up to me—" When she raised her brows, he quickly explained, "Now I am saying this because I want to but only because I don't want you to feel awful or bad, okay? I care about you and I love you." 

Pausing for a while, he swirled his finger around the lock of hair which was falling on her shoulder. "Take me to Seattle with you." 

"Seb—" 

Cutting her off, he explained, "Listen to me first, I wanna go to Seattle for a really long time because I have never been there for a vacation. Just to be clear, I am not going there because I will miss you or anything, I just want to go there because it will make me happy." 

When she did not say anything, he further explained, "I just want you to feel better and not guilty for being unfair that night. Just to let you know, blue balls are a very serious thing, men die because of that and you gave me one that day." 

Pursing her lips, she nodded her head, "Okay, I'll think about it." Without waiting for his reply, she wiggled out of his embrace. "Now why don't you take the plates outside and I'll bring the food out." 

"What is there to think? Can't you just take this little thing with you? I will be a good boy and I promise not to bug you for sandwiches." 

Passing him the plate, she chuckled, "Who little thing? You?" When he nodded his head, she helplessly shook her head, "Nothing about you is little." 

Raising his brows, he grinned, "I was talking about the little kid in my heart which is still alive but I am very sure that you are talking about that." 

Awkwardly clearing her throat, she explained, "Well, I was talking about your height and your tall stature." Without waiting for his reply, she grabbed the tray which had the starter and rushed outside. 

….

Living room. 

"I am telling you, it's true." 

Rolling his eyes, Brandon scoffed, "Nonsense, this is the twenty first century, humans are no less than ghosts." 

"I know right? Ghosts should be afraid of humans, we are that dangerous," Calvin added. 

Shrugging her shoulder, Ava sighed, "Alright don't believe me but that is true." 

Keeping the tray down, Ellie inquired, "What is true?" 

"Hmm nothing much, I was just telling everyone that the beach house we are planning to stay in is haunted but the people with balls here refuse to believe me," Ava answered. 

"Are you talking about uncle's Sam's beach house?" When Ava nodded her head, Sebastian added, "I don't know if it's haunted but it was a mental asylum hundreds of years back and the locals claim that they used to hear screaming and weird noises from there even though the hospital was shut down." 

"Pfft—" Splattering the wine all over the table from his mouth, Noah gulped in nervousness. "T-That story is true?" he stuttered.
