Trapped in Her Heart

Groaning and rolling on the ground in pain, Derek was on the verge completely of passing out. His nose was bleeding very heavily with all the double punching which made him feel very dizzy.      

Just then someone arrived and shouted, "What happened here? What did you do to the man?"      

Without wasting any time, Charlotte grabbed Brandon's hand and started dragging him away. "Run—"     

"But the restaurant—"     

Cutting him off, she snapped, "Treat me a hot dog later, let's get out of here."      

…..     

Inside the car.      

Slumping on the passenger seat, Charlotte chuckled, "You are crazy."      

Shrugging his shoulders, he grinned, "And you really do punch hard." Pausing for a while, he inquired, "How is your hand? You looked like you were in pain a while ago."     

"It did hurt at that time but now i am okay," Looking at him, she beamed, "I had never done this kind of craziness ever in my entire life. I mean attacking a person in a public place is so absurd and not legal but I still had so much fun."      

Looking at her, he smiled, "I hope you got your closure now."     

"Closure?" Running her finger through her hair, she answered, "I got that years ago.' Without waiting for his reply, she explained, "After I found that he was cheating on me, I asked my uncle to take away everything that he had and after that I never looked back. But I always had this strong urge to punch him down maybe because it was my uncle who helped me deal with me and I did not do a thing."      

"Why would anyone cheat on you?" When she looked at him, he elaborated his point. "I think he is really brainless to do such a thing. Getting a chance to date you and then fucking that up is really very dumb. Though I know I might never get that once in a lifetime opportunity but if I do, I would never fuck it like that."      

Wrapping a curl around her finger, she inquired, "And who said that you will never get a chance?"      

"Well I—" Widening his eyes in shock, he tightened his grip around the steering wheel and tried very hard to suppress the strange overwhelming emotions that he was feeling. There were many women who had said that they wanted to date him and be with him but he never felt this excited and giddy because according to him, dating was a very boring and tiring thing to do. But despite all the thoughts and emotions, there he was getting all hyped up after Charlotte mentioned it.     

….     

Sebastian and Ellie's apartment      

Sebastian's room.     

When Ellie entered the room, Sebastian was sitting in the middle of the head with legs stretched in the front and with a proud grin on his face which was very hard to ignore.      

Picking up her night moisturizer from the dressing table, she sat on the edge of the table and smiled, "You look happy."      

Crawling towards her, he placed his head on her lap and sighed, "It feels so peaceful today, I feel like you are completely present here with me."      

"Why do I feel like you brought Boji a new friend because she was here the whole night and it kinda interrupted our alone time?" she inquired suspiciously.      

Looking at her with an innocent pout, Sebastian complained, "Don't say that, do you think that I'll get jealous of Boji, I am her father so how can I possibly be jealous of her?"      

Running her fingers through his hair, she smiled, "Okay, I am sorry for doubting your pure intention towards the welfare of our little Boji and Bojo."      

"Did you like the surprise? I know it was kinda lame but—"     

Cutting him off, she snapped, "That wasn't lame at all Seb, I just loved it. Now Boji has a partner to play with so even if we are away, she won't be all lonely and sad."      

"Well, the main point of the surprise was to make you both happy and since you are all smiles and Boji seems to be loving Bojo, mission accomplished."      

"So what do you get?" Bending down, she smiled, "How about a thank you kiss?"      

"I love thank you kisses."     

….     

Next day.     

"When did you hear about it?"      

"Day before yesterday when I ran into that bitch Briteny, she literally congratulated me out of nowhere and mocked me for not having an engagement ring," Ava scoffed before drawing her attention towards the pair of fluffy creatures who were playing with each other.      

"Is it just me or are there actually two Boji's there?" she inquired.      

Passing her a glass of water, Ellie chuckled, "It's not just you Ava, there are two of them for real."     

"Really? When did you guys get another one?" she excitedly inquired and without waiting for their reply, she added, "After they grow old and have babies, will you give me one of them?"      

"Yes sure but I think that will take sometime."      

"No hurry, they can take all the time they need." Glancing at the watch, Ava sighed, "Ahh I need to go to Noah and Melissa's place as well so I'll take my leave now."      

When she gave Sebastian a pleading look, he nodded his head and answered, "I'll look into it so don't worry."      

Giving him and Ellie a goodbye hug simultaneously, Ava swore, "Seriously, if you guys ever need help looking after these two babies of yours or any other thing, count me in."     

After she left, Ellie wrapped her arms around Sebastian's waist. "You look upset."      

"Why does she keep doing this? I mean can't she just let Ava enjoy her life for once?" Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "Marriage is a very big deal and the most important decision of anyone's life so shouldn't she let Ava decide whom she wants to marry? Why is she trying to force her choice and decision on her again? This is just so unfair and inappropriate."
