Trapped In Her Heart

Eight hours later. 

Los Angeles. 

Inside Sebastian's car. 

Sticking her head out of the car window, Ellie took a deep breath. "I did not realize this earlier but I actually really missed home and of course our two babies. We are going to take them, right?" 

Sebastian nodded his head and answered, "Hmm we are but first I want to take you somewhere." 

"Where? Do you have one more secret house?" she chuckled. 

Kissing the back of her hand, he answered, "It's not too far, you gonna like it." 

…..

Fifteen minutes later. 

Looking around, Ellie curiously inquired, "Where are we?" All she could see was words and darkness which made her wonder where Seb was taking her.

Intertwining their hands together, he guided her forward. "You will see."

After walking for almost five minutes, they stepped in a garden-like place which was covered with flowers and different kinds of trees. There was a small man-made lake in the middle which had a small wooden path in the middle. "This—" 

Just then a man approached them and greeted Sebastian. "Good evening sir, it's nice to see you after a really long time." 

"It's good to see you again too Gary." Placing his hand on Ellie's back, Sebastian explained, "El, he is Gary the caretaker of this place." 

Gary politely greeted Ellie and smiled, "I guess now I know why you don't come here these days sir." Pausing for a while, he added, "Seems like you have found your peace." 

After he left, Ellie curiously asked, "When did you discover this place?" 

"This place belongs to one of my friends, he stays out of the country all the time so Gary takes care of everything. I used to come here in the past when I left restless and uneasy. I feel relieved and peaceful when I just sit around and relax here." Grabbing her hand, he added, "I'll show you my usual spot." 

Walking for a minute, he stopped in front of a big tree which was not too far away from the lake. Taking off his jacket, he placed it on the floor before sitting down. He then gestured Ellie to sit between his legs. 

Snuggling closer, she smiled, "This place is beautiful, why did you stop coming here?" 

Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her closer. "Because I found you." Kissing her nape, he smiled, "I found my peace." 

Turning towards him, she pulled his cheeks. "You have become so cheesy and cute, I don't know what to do with you." 

"Do you like this? You can come here whenever you want to." 

"I can?" 

He nodded his head and added, "Hmm I'll let Gary know, we can come here together whenever you want." 

Leaning against his chest, she took a deep breath. "It's so peaceful here." Closing her eyes, she added, "Let's stay like this for a while." 

"Hmm, we just have to pick Bojo and Boji from uncle Sam's place and take them home so we have plenty of time." 

"Let's order pizza and binge watch something tonight," she stated. 

"We will do as you say." 

…..

Calvin's place. 

"You can't avoid her for life Ava, just hear what she has to say." 

"I don't wanna hear anything from her because I know what she is going to say." Placing her hand on Calvin's shoulder, Ava added, "You have no idea how my mom is honey, I know her since I was born." 

Thinking for a while, he inquired, "What about your dad then? You can talk to him, uncle Arthur is cool." 

"Hmm I guess I can talk to dad when mom is not around, he is actually much cooler than mom but well, they both are the same to be honest but it's just that dad is a bit better than mom," she explained. 

"What about Seb? Did he tell them about him and Ellie?" 

She shook her head and answered, "Uh huh Seb hasn't told them in person but I have a feeling he will do that as soon as he meets them again in person. I think they already know about Seb and El, I am sure that mom is very hyped right now." 

Helplessly shaking his head, Calvin sighed, "Why aren't your parents like Noah's mom and dad? Uncle Sam and aunt Rosy are so cool." 

"What can I do? Let's just say I am very much used to dealing with my type of parents," she chuckled. 

…..

Noah's parents' place. 

As soon as Sebatian and Ellie got down from the car, Bojo and Boji came running towards them and started whining and snuggling against their legs. 

Squatting down, both of them started petting them and ruffling their golden shiny fur. 

"Mommy missed you both so much," Ellie stated before giving both of them tight hugs. 

"They missed you both a lot too, they were sad for a few days after you left but later they got used to it," Rosy explained. 

Giving her a hug, Sebastian remarked, "Thank you for helping us take care of them." 

"You don't thank me, I had fun with them." Pulling away, Rosy informed, "Your parents are back, did you know that?"

"Hmm I know, I'll visit them later." 

"Okay, you kids must be tired after the long flight, do you want to have dinner with us?" Rosy asked. 

"Thanks aunt Rosy but we don't want to trouble you, maybe next time." 

"Alright, you both should go home and rest early today." 

After Rosy entered the mansion again, Ellie helped Boji and Bojo inside the car. Grabbing Sebastian's hand, she inquired, "Why don't you go and meet your parents now?" 

"It's alright, I'll see them later—" 

Cutting him off, she explained, "They will feel very bad if they find out that you were here and yet you did not pay them a visit." When he did not say anything, she sighed, "You should go and see them." 

"Okay, you have to come with me too," he stated. 

"They just arrived today and you want to surprise them by taking me with you?" she chuckled.
