Trapped in Her Heart

"Don't forget to give me a call, okay? And bring Ava for dinner someday, your father will definitely love your choice," she exclaimed before walking out of the apartment.     

After Naomi happily left, Ava breathed a sigh of relief and slumped up on the couch. "Okay, that wasn't the reaction I was expecting."     

Grabbing her hand, he sat down beside her and planted a kiss in the back of her hand. "I am sorry for mom's weird behaviour, she is usually not like this but though she kept cursing your mom which she shouldn't have and I will definitely talk to her about it later, I think she really likes you."     

Wrapping her arms around his waist, she snuggled closer, "Well, at least my mother unknowingly did something really perfect for me and your mother is really very sweet Cal, I like her."     

Kissing the top of her head, he stated in a very assuring tone, "I am very sure that she would have willingly accepted our relationship even if you weren't Rebecca Stewart's daughter." Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he apologized, "I am sorry, I think I might have overreacted. I just lost my cool when I heard the whole fiancee thing, though I know it isn't your fault but it still bummed me out."     

"It's alright, even I would have reacted the same way or may be worse if I had heard something similar about you." cupping his cheek, she added, "But don't stress over it, I'll take care of it."     

"But how?"      

"Charlotte is helping me find out who started the rumour. Since mom isn't here, I don't think she is involved so I have a feeling that it's someone from Nathan's side," Ava explained.     

Intertwining their hands together, he chuckled, "I think I was very wrong about Charlotte, she is not as bad as I had thought."     

"She is not bad at all, she is actually very kind and helpful but she can be very bitchy when needed," she chuckled.     

"Hmm she isn't home, right?" When she shook her head, he slowly caressed her arm. "I think you should do something to make me feel a little less insecure."     

Hooking her arms around his neck, she smiled, "Hmm, I think I should."     

….     

Sebastian's and Ellie's place.     

With his arms folded in the front and with a very expression on his face, Sebastian was sulking for almost an hour now, occasionally sending daggers to Ellie and Boji who were enjoying their cuddly time together.      

After having dinner, he was pretty excited to officially cuddle with his girlfriend to sleep but his dreams were fisted into tiny pieces by his new fury enemy who suddenly decided not to leave the bed and his room at all. No matter how hard he tried to send her away, Boji refused to even move a muscle.      

When petting and coaxing her to leave for almost an hour did not work, Sebastian decided to use some force and take her downstairs but as soon as he lifted her up, the little fury enemy started whimpering very pitifully which melted Ellie's heart and she insisted on letting her stay for the night or as much as she wanted.      

Deceived by Boji's innocent face, he let her stay but little did he know that it was the biggest mistake which completely ruined his plans.      

"El, I think we should place her in the bed now," he suggested.     

Caressing Boji's soft fur, Ellie answered, "She just fell asleep, I don't think so we should disturb her and there is enough room for her to sleep here right?"     

Glaring at the little thing who was calmly relaxing on his girlfriend's chest, he gritted his teeth and grumpily lied down before turning to the other side.      

"Seb, do you think we should take her to the vet tomorrow?"      

"Why vet? She seems okay, is she having a fever?" he inquired.     

"No she isn't, I was just wondering if anything is wrong because she is acting very clingy today." Pausing for a while, she curiously asked, "Do you think it's because we aren't giving her the amount of attention she needs? Do you think she is feeling lonely?"      

Thinking for a while, he raised his brows and started grinning. Shifting closer, he caressed Boji's head and answered, "Don't worry honey, I'll make sure that she doesn't feel lonely anymore."     

….     

Next morning.     

Stewart International Group     

Sebastian office.     

Pulling away, Ellie sighed, "I need to go now."     

Tightening his grip around her hip, he pleaded, "Five more minutes please." Before pressing his lips against her again.     

"I...seriously…need...to...go," she muttered in between the kisses.     

Reluctantly pulling away, he sighed, "I suddenly regret not taking a day off with you."     

Wiping off the smudged lipstick around his lips, she chuckled, "Seriously, what happened to my hard working boss."     

Brushing the tip of his nose against hers, he smiled, "Hmm let's say that you melted him away with your cuteness."     

Fixing his tie, she patted his chest. "You are one smooth talker—" Getting off his lap, she continued, "Now before I forget, you have a meeting with the finance department in about thirty minutes and you also have a lunch meeting with Mr Smith."     

Scrunching his brows, he complained, "Lunch? What is up with this lunch meeting? I always have lunch with you."     

"In my defence, you were the one who had fixed this meeting months ago, even before I had joined."     

Gritting his teeth, he knocked his own forehead and cursed, "Damn you old Sebastian, you were such an Idiot."     

Helplessly shaking her head, she chuckled, "Just go for the meeting because it's very important, I'll have lunch with Melissa or Patricia and then we will have a nice dinner together, okay?"     

Left with no other choice, he obediently nodded his head, "I cannot believe that I am going to have lunch with a douche and not my hot girlfriend."     

Walking out of the room, Ellie informed, "Noah is also going with you, it's something that you both have to attend."
