Trapped In Her Heart

Pressing her back against the door, Ellie gasped and groaned in frustration. Did her boss just see her only with a towel wrapped around her chest?

Tightening her grip around the towel that was wrapped around her chest, she rushed towards her room.

…..

Outside.

Still confused and shocked over what he had seen and what had happened, Sebastian frowned.

How could she bang the door shut right on his face? Did she not want to see him? Was she still angry and upset with him? What should he do now?

With so many questions running in his mind, he was about to ring the doorbell again but he stopped himself and frowned deeper.

Why would she open the door in that condition? What if it wasn't him and some creep or a bugler?

Looking at the empty corridor, he frowned even deeper. The security of the building was so lame that anyone would easily enter and exit the building without any restriction.

How difficult would it be for someone to barge into her apartment, rob her or maybe do something worse before sneakily leaving? And to top everything up, she lived all by herself.

After taking a mental note of doing something about it, Sebastian sighed and decided to patiently wait for her to open the door.

….

Inside the apartment.

After wearing one of her baggy comfy t-shirts and boxers, Ellie rushed towards the door and started biting her nails nervously.

She was curious, nervous and embarrassed at the same time.

Curious and nervous because she had no idea what her boss was doing in her apartment. Wasn't this his work time? And embarrassed because Sebastian had seen her in the most vulnerable and exposed condition.

Why the hell did she open the door before wearing something decent? She had no idea what he might be thinking about her and that feeling was killing her.

Pressing her ear against the door, she tried to find out whether he was there or had already left after witnessing such a horrible sight of her.

"Damn, I cannot hear anything." Ellie cursed before taking a deep breath to calm her excited cells and nerves down.

Wrapping her arms around the doorknob, she unlocked the door only to bang it shut again.

Pressing the bag against the door, Ellie frowned wondering what she had seen is for real or not. She then widened her eyes in shock and quickly opened the door. How could she shut the door right on her boss's face not just once but twice?

….

"I hope you won't shut the door again Ms Miller or will you?" Sebastian asked.

With her mouth wide open, Ellie kept on staring at the bouquet of roses but that wasn't the actual thing which grabbed her attention. The cute little stuffed donkey with a grinning face which he was holding in his other hand almost made her go crazy. It looked so cute with his flashing white set of teeth and adorable floppy ears. Only if she could keep it for herself and hug it to sleep everyday.

"Ms Miller, are you alright?" He asked.

Taking her eyes off the adorable little, Ellie awkwardly cleared her throat and nodded her head, "Yes boss, I am alright."

"Hmm can I come in now or do you want to shut me out again?"

She vigorously shook her head and pursed her lips. "Please come in."

"After you."

Ellie nodded her head and slowly entered her apartment leaving the door for Sebastian to close.
