Trapped in Her Heart

 "Hmm that's strange because I am a very light sleeper you know but anyway, thanks for bringing me home."     

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Brandon stretched his legs in the front. "You know, there are other ways to thank me."      

Supporting her head with her elbow, she chuckled, "I thought you already gave up that thing but you are still at it." Without waiting for his reply, she added, "Which makes me wonder, why didn't you make any move when we were sharing that tent?"     

"Are you being serious? I couldn't even move my leg properly in the little space because you took more than half of the tent for your weird sleeping postures. I mean, how do you expect anyone to have sex in that—" Stopping midway, he raised his brows, "Unless you wanted me to make a move, oh my God, you wanted to take advantage of me in that tent."     

"What? Geez stop thinking to highly of yourself, I would never do that even if you—"     

Cutting her off, he inches closer and smirked, "Really? Are you serious and do you mean each and every word you just said?"     

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she placed her hand on his cheek and marveled, "Wow, I never knew that you had such beautiful eyes."     

Running his finger through her face, he tapped the tip of her nose and smiled, "There are many things about me that you are yet to discover. Anyway—" Pulling away, he got up and sighed, "Let's go out somewhere nice tomorrow okay? I'll pick you up, say around sixish?"     

"Woah hold on mister, I don't remember agreeing to go on a date with you," she objected.     

Folding his arms in the front, he said, "I don't remember mentioning the word date in my whole sentence but well, if you want it to be a date then why not?"     

Awkwardly clearing her throat, she scoffed, "Who wants to go on a date with you?"     

"Okay then its just two friends catching up after sharing tent for three days and not having sex, deal?"      

Extending her hand towards him, she nodded in agreement, "Deal."     

….     

Sebastian's and Ellie's place.     

With their clothes soaked in rain water, Ellie and Sebastian quickly rushed inside to make themselves warm. They were still having their coffee when it suddenly started to rain but instead of going inside the car or taking shelter, they decided to stay out in the open and enjoy the rain water.     

Placing Boji on her bed, Ellie took off her wet coat before taking the other one from Sebastian's hand. "You should go and change quickly otherwise you'll catch a cold. I'll change and make some hot soup for you."      

"El, I am fine okay? That was just rain water—"     

Cutting him off, she sighed, "You are not used to playing around in the rain."      

"That is not true, I love walking in the rain," he retorted.     

Nodding her head, she inquired, "When was the last time you actually did this? I mean getting wet in the rain?"     

Pondering for a while, he scrunched his brows and muttered, "In college, I mean it happened after that too but not voluntarily like today."     

Helpless shaking her head, she knocked his forehead. "Go and change, I'll change too."     

Without saying anything, he obediently nodded his head and made his way towards his room.     

….     

Sebastian's room.     

After taking a quick shower, he quickly changed into warmer clothes before staring at his wardrobe which was almost covered with his clothes only.      

Rubbing his chin, he thought for a while before taking out a big suitcase. He then started shoving random clothes which were lying in his wardrobe into the suitcase.     

"Now what are you doing? Are you going somewhere?" Ellie inquired before placing the soup on the table.      

"I am making space for your clothes and—"     

Cutting him off, she chuckled, "Is that needed? I mean, I just keep my things in the other room."     

"No, how is that even considered as living together? You things need to take away almost half of this room. The dressing table is empty so you can keep your makeup and other stuff there and make space for your clothes in the wardrobe too."     

Grabbing his hand, she dragged him towards the bed. "That can wait, we can do it when we both have time but first, drink this." Passing him the soup, she added, "There is no need to rush over anything, we have plenty of time to figure out the space thing."     

Folding his legs on the bed, he took the bowl from her hand and inquired, "When are we getting your things from your apartment?"     

Picking up a towel, she started wiping his wet hair and answered, "Whenever we have time."     

"Oh we have time today but I think we should rest early, how about tomorrow after work?"      

"Okay I—" she stopped midway when someone round and fluffy entered the room.      

"Boji? What is she doing here? Did you bring her up?" Sebastian inquired.     

Vigorously shaking her head, she gasped, "Ahh Boji climbed the stairs for the first time without anyone's help. I knew that my baby was very talented and special."     

 Picking her up, she placed her on the bed and the little furry ball immediately started making herself comfortable. She started whimpering and rolling around without caring about anything, she was acting like she owned the bed.      

Scratching her belly, Ellie chuckled, "Do you love the bed honey? Yes you do." Looking at Seb, she added, "Seb, I think we just missed Boji's first stair steps."     

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he placed the bowl down and folded his arms. "El, I don't think so you are being fair here."      

"Fair? What did I do?" she frowned, she was just talking about Boji and her first step, how is that related to being fair?      

"So Boji is baby and honey but I am just Seb?" Without waiting for her reply, he added, "How is that even fair?"
