Trapped in Her Heart

New parents

Understanding what she wanted to ask and know, he awkwardly cleared his throat and explained, "When I asked you to change your clothes yesterday, you left your wet clothes on the floor after wearing the dry ones. So I picked them up and placed them in the machine."     

"Clothes? But I did not see my dress in the dryer?"      

"Right because you weren't wearing your dress, just your innerwears. You refused to wear anything after coming out of the pool so I had to carry you home just like that," Sebastian added.     

Covering her face, she groaned and sat down on the couch. "Oh my God, this is so embarrassing."     

Before Sebastian could say anything, she got up and grabbed his shirt. "Is it true that I–I told you to give me a—"     

Cutting her off, he asked, "Butt massage? Yeah you did."     

"Oh God, this is so embarrassing." Sitting on the couch again, she buried her face on the cushion. "I don't know what to do now." She was more embarrassed and worried thinking what Seb would've thought of her. She didn't want Seb to think lowly of her but after last night, she was pretty sure that he thought of her as a wild drunkard.     

Sitting beside her, he called her out, "El, get up." When she shook her head, he added, "Why are you trying to hide from me? You'll feel suffocated if you stay that way for a long time."      

When she did not say anything, he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up. "Hey, what happened?"      

Pouting her lips at him, she said, "I am feeling very embarrassed, I know you think lowly of me now."      

"What? Who told you that?" Sebastian frowned.     

"I got drunk and did indecent things, I know you don't like such wild behaviors but please don't hate me. Look, I get drunk once in a blue moon and I never behave that way. I mean, you know how I am right?" Ellie tried very hard to defend herself.     

Taking a deep breath, he made her sit on his lap. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ears, he said, "It is true that I am not a very big fan of wild behaviors. I think it's probably because I have always lived a disciplined life with so many rules and regulations. If it would have been anyone else, I would've surely not liked it but it was you El and I love everything about you. Your sweet, cute, caring behavior and also your wild side, everything about you is special and I love it."      

"Really?"      

He smiled and nodded his head. "I know yesterday was very wild and you were definitely out of control but I had fun. We were in the pool together and we had fun though it was a bit difficult at times but it's alright, I am capable of managing the sober or drunk Ellie Miller."      

Without waiting for her reply, he added, "Now if you think that I respect you less after yesterday then you are absolutely wrong. My respect for you will never change no matter what. I know how you exactly are and nothing can change that image of you that I have in my mind. So stop thinking about anything else, you don't have to be embarrassed about anything in front of me and you also don't have to pretend to be someone that you are not just because I don't like it."      

Grabbed her hand, he smiled, "Always remember that I like every version of you and I want you to be you when we are together and not someone that you are not."      

Hooking her arms around his neck, she chuckled, "Mr Stewart looks more handsome when he sweet talks."      

"Hmm, Ms Miller is responsible for Mr Stewart's sweet talks," he smiled.     

Placing her chin on his shoulder, she sighed, "Thank you so much Seb."      

"Thank you for what?"      

Shrugging her shoulders, she said, "I don't know, I just felt like thanking you."      

"Then I should also thank you."      

Pulling away, she glanced at the watch and widened her eyes in shock. "Oh God, we need to leave now, everyone is waiting for us in your office."      

"Waiting for us? Why?"      

"Hmm, I don't know."      

…..     

Stewart International Group      

Sebastian's office.     

When Ellie and Sebastian entered the office, everyone was busy munching some snacks.     

"Ahh there they are," Owen breathed a sigh of relief.     

Placing her hand on her waist, Ava frowned, "We have been waiting for you since morning."      

"I am so sorry, I woke up late and then we had to bathe and feed Boji too so—"     

Cutting Ellie off, Melissa chuckled, "You both sound like new parents."      

"Boji is like a child," Sebastian smiled.     

"A baby with four legs, interesting."     

Smacking Noah's head, Melissa glared at him before gesturing him to start talking about what they had gathered for.     

Clearing his throat, Noah added, "Well, we are here to talk about the camping trip which is scheduled this weekend."      

"Yes and we all have to go, no excuses," Ava added before looking at Sebastian and then Ellie.     

Sebastian on the other hand turned towards Ellie, waiting for her to say something. He would definitely go if she wanted to. How could he say anything without her approval?     

Pausing for a while, Ellie said, "Camping sounds fun."      

"You wanna go?" When she nodded her head, Sebastian smiled, "Let's go camping then."      

Everyone squealed in excitement and grinned from ear to ear.     

"Ellie is for sure our new key to tame Sebastian," Calvin chuckled.     

"Wait, isn't that Charlotte girl coming to stay with me from this weekend?" Ava asked.     

Sebastian's body turned stiff while Noah and Calvin panicked.      

Realizing what she had said, Ava pursed her lips and looked at Calvin for some help.     

"Who is Charlotte?" Ellie casually asked.     

"C-Charlotte is Ava's friend from college," Calvin quickly added.     

Owen thought for a while and frowned, "Wait if I am not wrong, isn't Charlotte that girl's name with whom Sebastian went on a date a few weeks back?"
