Trapped in Her Heart

"That is so offensive but I don't mind since you are helping me out, please continue," Brandon stated.      

"Well, when I first started spending more time with Ellie, it felt really very weird but like you said, in a very different way and even I couldn't stop doing it because I loved spending time with her. We used to watch movies, go to eat at different places, sometimes she used to cook, long drives, walks in the park—"     

Cutting him off, Brandon said, "So basically the same thing that we are doing."      

Sebastian nodded his head and added, "Yes and it felt very weird because I was giving up the only thing that I loved to do, working my ass off. But even though I knew this wasn't something that I would sanely do, I still didn't stop spending time with her because I didn't want to. So slowly, Ellie became much more important than work."      

Thinking for quite some time, Brandon asked, "What happened after that?"      

"After that? Well, I realized that I am in love with her and—"     

Raising his hands, he nervously scoffed, "Woahh, easy peasy pal, now where did love come from?"      

"No idea but it did and now she is my girlfriend, we are living together and we have the two most adorable dogs," Sebastian answered.      

Getting up, Brandon nervously ran his fingers through his face and started freaking out. He was in complete denial with the fact that he might be in love with Charlotte.      

Pressing both his hands on the desk, he snapped, "I am not in love with Charlotte."      

Raising his brows, Sebastian explained, "I never said that you are in love with Charlotte."      

Sitting down in his previous spot, Brandon retorted, "But you just said that you and Ellie—"     

Cutting him off, Sebastian explained further, "I was talking about what happened between Ellie and me, I said that we fell in love and I wasn't talking about you and Charlotte but good to know where you are at."     

"I am not at anything, okay?" he snapped.      

Helplessly shaking his head, Sebastian sighed, "Listen Brandon, I am just explaining you things from my point of view and according to how things happened between Ellie and me. I however, have no idea how things are between you and Charlotte or how it started so—"     

"So you think you can help me better if I tell you the entire thing that happened between Charlotte and me? Like how we met the first time?" Brandon asked.      

"Well, I know you both met during the camping trip and—"     

Cutting Sebastian off, he shook his head, "No, that wasn't the first time we met. We did meet once before the trip but I will tell you about it if you promise me not to tell anyone about it."      

"Why cant I tell anyone about it?"      

Gritting his teeth, Brandon snapped, "Because it's too damn embarrassing."      

"Okay, I won't."      

Hesitating for a while, he took a deep breath and started narrating his life's most embarrassing moment. "Charlotte and I met at a bar in New York almost six months ago. We met and immediately clicked so I invited her to my suit to you know, have sex."      

"So you both hooked up or rather had a one night stand, how is that even close to getting embarrassed?" Sebastian curiously inquired.      

Gritting his teeth, Brandon answered, "Because what was supposed to happen never happened." When Sebastian gave him a weird look, he sighed and massaged his temples, "Yes, I couldn't perform."      

Scrunching his brows, Sebastian curiously asked, "Why?" wondering what must have gone wrong.      

Jerking both his hands in the air, he answered in a very helpless tone, "I have no idea, maybe she squeezed it too hard. Anyway, I don't know but it was very embarrassing and Charlotte, she couldn't stop laughing which made me feel even more awful than I already was."     

"But don't you have a lot of experience? How did this happen then?" Sebastian was feeling very sorry for Brandon and very scared for himself.      

"I don't know man, I don't like thinking about that awful night so don't ask me any questions about it. So the point is that I never met Charlotte after that night, in fact, I didn't even know that she was from L.A and I would meet her again during the trip." Helplessly shaking his head, Brandon continued, "Initially I was trying to convince her to have sex with me because I wanted to prove her that there was nothing wrong with me or my dick but now things are different."      

"How is it different? You don't want to prove anything about your body parts now?"      

"No, I don't want to because suddenly that is not important at all. All I want to do is spend quality time with her and make her feel special," he answered.      

Rubbing his chin, Sebastian inquired, "So are you trying to tell me that she doesn't turn you on anymore? I mean, that sexual feeling is all gone and everything is cold?"      

"Of course not, she still turns me on all the time but it's different now." Pausing for a while, he continued, "For example, instead of her boobs and sexy body, her smile turns me on. The way she flips all her hair from one side to the other turns me on." Smiling like a lovestruck fool, Brandon added, "The way she closes her eyes while eating her favourite ice cream turns me on and the way she satisfactorily smiles when her coffee tastes exactly the way she likes also makes me smile."      

Clearing his throat, Sebastian sighed, "I think I know what is exactly happening to you."      

Sitting up straight, Brandon excitedly asked, "Really? What is it?"      

"You are in love with Charlotte but you are also very egoist to accept that so you are constantly denying it. Now all you need to do is man up a little and tell her how you feel" Sebastian answered.
