Trapped in Her Heart

"I'll wait in the car with Boji and Bojo, you should go and see them alone." When he frowned, she added, "I can see them later."      

Contemplating for a while, he reluctantly agreed, "Fine, I'll be back soon." Kissing the forehead, he gave her the car keys before walking towards their mansion.      

…..     

Sebastian's parents' place.      

"You are here, when did you kids come back?" Arthur inquired.      

"Just a few hours ago, how are you dad?" he inquired before sitting beside him.      

"I am good, the long vacation was quite relaxing only because you and Noah handled everything here." Patting his shoulder, Arthur smiled, "You are doing great, keep up the effort."      

Sebastian nodded his head and asked, "Where is mom?"      

"She was being cranky early in the morning so I sent her away to meet up with her friends."Glancing at the watch, he added, "She should be back soon, you should stay back for dinner."      

"It's alright, I have something to do. I'll take my leave then, I will visit again later." Getting up, he gave his father a hug. "Take care of yourself."      

Patting his back, Arthur remarked, "I heard about your special friend." Without waiting for his reply, he smiled, "You should bring her for dinner next time you plan to visit her."      

"Okay, I'll let her know."      

"Ask your sister to come and see me, that naughty one is not receiving my calls. Is she staying with you?" Arthur inquired.      

Sebastian nodded his head and answered, "Yes, she is staying with me." Wouldn't his parents overreact if he told them that he was one who unknowingly sent Ava to stay with her boyfriend? So to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to lie to them and stay on the safe side.      

"Ask her to come home tomorrow when she has time."      

He nodded his head and walked out of the mansion, he didn't want to stay there longer and keep Ellie waiting inside the car all by herself.     

….     

Inside the car.      

"I know it's boring guys but your dad has gone to meet his parents, we have no other choice but to wait." Inching closer to Boji, Ellie frowned, "What did you say Boji? Why did I not go with him?"      

Running her fingers through his silky fur, she sighed, "Sebastian's parents don't know about me yet and I also feel like they don't like me, especially Seb's mom. Now don't tell your dad that we had this conversation, okay?"      

"What are you teaching them?" Seb inquired.      

"Nothing, we were just talking." Without waiting for his reply, she inquired, "Did you see you parents?"      

"Hmm mom isn't home but I met dad. He asked me to bring you home for dinner," he stated.      

Widening her eyes in shock, Ellie snapped, "What? You told him about me?"      

"I didn't, maybe he heard about it from somewhere. Anyway, don't think about it, we can think about the dinner later when you are comfortable with it." Kissing the back of her hand, he remarked, "Let's go home."      

...….     

Next day.      

Park.      

Scrunching his brows, Markus inquired, "What happened Ellie? You look very disturbed today." When she sighed, he placed his hand on hers. "You can talk to me about it."      

"It's nothing so serious, I am just freaking out about something which I should probably not but I cannot help it." Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed, "Sebastian's parents are back and even though he said everything is going to be okay and he will handle everything, I still can't stop thinking about it."      

Pausing for a while, she frowned, "Markus, do you think I am overthinking about it?"      

"Honestly, it's completely normal for you to feel this way but you don't have to worry, I am sure Sebastian will handle everything. He is a very responsible man, I am sure he will take care of everything," Markus explained.      

Ellie sighed and nodded her head. "I know he will but I can't help but feel this way, I just—"      

"Come here, let me give you a comforting hug." Patting her head, he assured her, "Everything is going to be okay. The Stewarts aren't that bad, Samuel and Rosy are angels. Arthur, Sebastian's dad is also a very good person at heart though he might seem a little cold. You might have to tackle with his mom who is a bit weird but apart from her everything is okay."      

"Wait, you know Sebastian's family?"      

Shrugging his shoulders, Markus nodded his head. "I know a thing or two about them." Caressing her head, he added, "You can come to me if anyone tries to bully you, I have your back."      

"You are sweet Markus, you are one of the people I treasure the most."      

"I treasure you too little woman."      

...     

Stewart International and Group.      

Sebastian's office.      

"I heard you came home yesterday and left without meeting me."      

"You were not home mother and I had something important to do." Giving her a hug, Sebastian inquired, "It's good to see you again."      

Caressing his head, Rebecca smiled, "It feels great to see my son again."      

Just then Ellie entered the office. "Seb, did you see my red lips—" she stopped midway when she saw Rebecca. Nervously biting her lower lip, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ears. "I am sorry for intruding, I'll come back later." Without wasting any time, she turned around and was about to leave when Sebastian called her out.      

"El, wait." Walking towards her, he frowned, "Why are you running like that? Do you want to fall down again?" Without waiting for her reply, he grabbed her hand. "Come with me."      

Stopping him, she gulped in nervousness and slowly shook her head, asking him to let her go.      

Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, he guided her towards his mother without saying anything.      

Left with no other choice, Ellie helplessly followed him. She was already nervous about meeting his parents, especially his mother and was planning to ignore it as much as she could. But now out of nowhere, she was about to meet his mother.
