Getting along
Getting along
"Uh huh, I guess I need some of that to get over everything that has happened today," Calvin answered.
"Geez stop before I puke guys." Walking towards them she added, "I have forwarded the pictures in your number."
"Thank you so much girl, I owe you this one." Giving her a hug, Ava added, "Call me anytime if you need any kind of help."
"I surely will." Glancing at the watch, Steffi sighed, "Okay, now I gotta leave. I will catch up with you two love birds later."
After she left, Calvin inquired, "Now what pictures was she talking about?"
"You will see, "Ava answered.
…..
Seattle.
"Okay, just got off the phone with Brandon. Everything is normal between the two of them now and they are all lovey dovey again," Noah informed Ellie and Melissa.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Ellie exclaimed, "Thank God."
"Did he tell you what exactly happened between the two of them?" Melissa inquired.
"Babe didn't you check the link I sent you? It's all over the place." Without waiting for her reply, Noah opened the link and showed Ellie and Melissa the photo's.
Looking at the pictures of Nathan and Ava together, Ellie widened her eyes in shock. "Oh God, how did this happen?"
"Well, according to Ava she was tricked by Nathan but that Nathan guy told her it was aunt Rebecca's idea of making their relationship officially public," Noah explained.
Scrunching her brows, Ellie inquired, "Did Ava know about this arrangement?"
"Of course she didn't. Rebecca has been trying to match Ava and Nathan for the longest time because Nathan is her friend's son but Ava has always been against it," Melissa answered.
"If Ava doesn't want to be with that guy then why is she forcing her? How is she going to be happy in a forced relationship?" Though she hadn't met Rebecca yet except for the one time when she had just seen her, Ellie could already feel that she would definitely not be easy to deal with. She hated people who tried to force their decisions on someone else even after knowing that the other person was not interested in that arrangement. She always maintained a nice distance with them but with Rebacca, did she really have a choice?
She was Sebastian's mother, there was no way she could avoid her by any means. No matter how much she hated the way Rebecca liked getting things done or the way she treated her kids, she had to deal with her.
"She is like that, she likes getting things done her way eithiyt giving a fuck about what other think or feel about it," Melissa scoffed.
"What about Calvin then? I mean she shouldn't have any problem with Calvin right? He is from their social background and Cal is a really nice guy," Ellie stated.
"Yeah but that is never gonna happen, I mean it will happen but not with Rebecca's approval," Melissa answered.
"But why? I understand why she would have a problem with me but why Calvin?" she frowned.
"Calvin's mother and aunt Rebecca, they really don't get along. No let me scratch that, it's aunt Rebecca who doesn't get along with Cal's mom. It's really very complicated and something beyond my understanding," Noah sighed.
Slumping on the couch, Ellie groaned in frustration before clutching her hair. "Why do I feel like Cal and I are riding the same boat with this big block of ice called Rebecca Stewart which is standing right in the middle of the sea?"
"Uh huh but be careful because you don't wanna be the next Titanic," Melissa chuckled.
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Noah explained, "Honestly speaking and this is just one of my theories, I however have no intentions of scaring the shit of you or making you nervous." Without waiting for her reply, he continued., "I think you are at a tighter spot than Calvin because you know, Ava has always been very rebellious and I don't think aunt Rebecca thinks she will follow her arrangement but with Sebastian it's different. She is definitely not gonna make it easy for anyone who will marry him, especially the woman he chooses himself."
Ellie sighed and nodded her head, "Hmm I know that and trust me, I am super nervous to meet her too but what can I do if she doesn't like me? I can force her, right?"
"Of course, just play your part and try to be nice to her but if she starts making things difficult. Just don't give a shit about her," Melissa advised.
"Everything will be so perfect if things went smoothly with his mother as well, I just don't want things to get complicated."
"Complicated? What will get complicated?" Walking towards them, Sebastian sat beside Ellie. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Just random things, did you finish helping mom?" Ellie inquired.
Sebastian nodded his head and beamed, "Your mom is an amazing cook, no wonder you are so good. She just taught me the perfect way to boil an egg, she is really amazing."
Grinning from ear to ear, Noah chuckled, "Seems like someone is getting along with his future mother-in-law."
"Aunt Judi is really sweet and easy to get along, I think your real obstacle is uncle Harry," Melissa murmured.
Sebastian sighed and helplessly shook his head. "I know but I don't think he is that fond of me."
"How bad is it?" Noah inquired.
"He made the guest room look like a Disneyland."
Closing his eyes, Noah hissed, "Okay, that sounds bad."
"Wait what? Disneyland?" Melissa chuckled.
"He used my old Minnie mouse sheets, pillowcases and curtains for the guestroom when mom asked him to change the sheets," Ellie answered.
Bursting into a laughter, Melissa exclaimed, "Oh God, please tell me you are joking El."
"No I am not, he seriously did that," she chuckled.
