Grabbing Ellie's arm, he added, "El don't listen to her, she is a psychopath who is overly obsessed with fashion."
Pointing towards Charlotte, he frowned, "And you, didn't you say that I am boring? So why are you pretending as if we have something between us."
He was confused, mad, worried, anxious and also super scared. He had no idea why Charlotte was suddenly pretending to be all touchy with him but more than anything, he was super scared that Ellie would misinterpret things and leave him before he could even execute his whole proposal plan.
Pursing her lips, Ellie looked at him and tried to say something but ended up laughing out loud. "I am sorry guys, I cannot."
"Oh damn, look at his face," Melissa said before bursting into laughter.
Charlotte chuckled and added, "Ah so he is also a cry baby."
Looking at the four women who were busy laughing, Sebastian frowned. "What the hell is happening here?"
Rubbing his arm, Ellie explained, "We were just messing around with you Seb,"
"It was Ava's idea," Charlotte added.
Ava rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Oh come on, you guys loved it."
Placing his hand on his chest, he breathed a sigh of relief. "That was a really bad joke people, you almost gave me a heart attack."
Tilting her head, Charlotte asked, "What? You thought Ellie would leave you just because I say a few things? You think she is that petty?"
Placing her hand on her waist, Ellie raised her brows, "You think that I am petty?"
Sebastian widened his eyes in shock and vigorously shook his head. "What? No I—"
"You guys, the same look again." Holding her stomach, Ava crashed on the couch.
Ellie chuckled and helplessly shook her head. "Okay girls, we have to officially stop now. Look, we are scaring Seb."
Glancing at her watch, Melissa sighed, "Ahh it's almost lunch time and we haven't even dropped Ava and Charlotte at Calvin's."
"Let's do something, you people go to Calvin's place because I have to urgently meet someone in like fifteen minutes. I'll catch up with you guys at the restaurant in an hour." Turning towards Sebastian, Ellie asked, "Are you off work already? Do you wanna accompany us for lunch too?"
"Hmm no, I have plans with the guys."
"What kind of plan?" Melissa inquired.
Hesitating for a while, he answered, "We are going shopping."
Ava chuckled and said, "Shopping? You guys? Are you serious? Because from what I know, uncle Grizzard still buys your clothes and the only thing you pick yourself is your underwear."
Sebastian frowned and gritted his teeth, "You talk too much."
Melissa chuckled and added, "Noah doesn't even pick his own underwear, I have to do that for him."
Pouting her lips, Charlotte sighed, "This makes me wonder if your underwear is as boring as your clothes."
Pursing her lips, Ellie tried to stop her giggles. The sudden underwear talk was totally unexpected.
Taking a deep breath, Sebastian explained, "Calvin and Owen want to buy a few things so Noah and I decided that we would accompany them and pick a few things too."
Melissa frowned and inquired, "So you mean Naoh is shopping and is picking new underwears too?" When Sebastian nodded his head, she added, "Well, ask him to pick a new girlfriend at the mall too. Let's go girls, I feel very hungry when I am angry."
Picking up one of the boxes, Ava chuckled, "Seems like someone is not getting a chance to hump and pump tonight."
After everyone left, Sebastian inquired, "Where is Boji?"
"June picked her up after you left for office, she wants to raise one too so she wanted to make sure if she is okay with them."
Grabbing her hand, he added, "El we don't have to be around Charlotte if you don't like it okay? She is just here with us until her uncle comes back but that doesn't mean we have hangout with her. I just don't want you to do something you are not comfortable with."
"Are you kidding me? I love her, she is different and nothing like I had thought she would be."
"Oh that is nice then." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he sheepishly asked, "So whom are you meeting?"
"A friend."
"So by any chance, is this friend Markus?" When Ellie nodded her head, he asked, "So it's just the two of you?"
Looking at him, she pouted her lips and inched closer. Fixing his tie, she said, "I can sense your uneasiness with Markus."
"What? I-I am not uneasy, why would I be uneasy? It's not like there is something going on between the two of you, right?"
Hooking her arms around his neck, she explained, "Firstly it's not a date, just an informal meeting. Secondly, if I ever go on a date, I will definitely let you know beforehand so that you can drop me off at my date spot."
"Drop you? What makes you think that I will? And why are we even having this conversation? I am not letting you go on a date or whatever with any guy okay? So just take it off your head and why do you even wanna go on dates with any other when—"
When he stopped midway, she asked, "When?"
Pouting his lips, he answered, "When you have me."
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Ellie blushed and pulled away. "I have kept your wallet on the table, eat your lunch no matter where you are okay? I'll pick up Boji and come home straight away."
Without waiting for his reply, she rushed out of the apartment.

Shopping Mall.
"Woah dude, Cal told me that you are gonna finally propose," Owen grinned but his huge grin faded away when Sebastian glared at him.
Wrapping his arms around Owen's shoulder, Calvin chuckled, "He is still mad at you for the whole exposing him in front of Ellie thing."
