Trapped In Her Heart

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Melissa asked, "What if I say that you got the job? Will you still feel sleepy?"

Ellie widened her eyes in shock and quickly got up. "You gotta be kidding me Mel, seriously? You are but joking right? See it's already past midnight and you aren't supposed to play pranks after midnight."

Melissa chuckled and asked, "Who said that? I never heard of such rules."

"I swear Mel if this is a joke then I'll show Noah one of your most vulgar and disgusting pictures." When Ellie threatened Melissa, the latter gasped and gritted her teeth. "You wouldn't dare Ellie Miller because if you do that, I'll show your ugliest picture to whoever you date in the future."

"Alright alright jokes apart, you are not kidding right? I got the job for real?" Ellie asked. She couldn't believe if it was real or Melissa was trying to get back at her for sacrificing her nudes to Noah.

"Ah what do you take me as El? Am I like those horrible friends who play disgusting pranks on their friends?" Melissa asked.

When Ellie chuckled, Melissa added, "God I should've left you alone to receive the bomb early in the morning when you checked your mails and when you receive a call from the office saying that you have to report by 9 am and-"

"What? 9 am? But isn't the office time like 10-10:30?" Ellie asked.

"Yes babe but did you forget who you are working with? It's the big boss and the great Sebastian Stewart. You better pull up your socks and try to be punctual." Melissa knew that Ellie would have a hard time working with Sebastian because not only did both of them have different personalities, she knew how much Sebastian hated unpunctual and clumsy people and Ellie could be considered as the Queen of unpunctuality and clumsiness. Forget about Ellie being unpunctual and clumsy, Melissa knew that it was super tough for anyone to work with Sebastian. She didn't really want Ellie to take this job but since the digits were good and Ellie wanted to try something different, Melissa recommended her for the job anyway.

"So I have to go to the office an hour early everyday? If yes, then for what?" Ellie asked.

"I don't know but maybe you'll find out tomorrow and for God's sake El, don't be late tomorrow and-"

Cutting her off, Ellie excitedly said, "Alright, I understood. If I don't want to be late, I better sleep now."

"Great, I'll meet you tomorrow at the office."

"Okay." After hanging up the call, Ellie excitedly bounced on the bed and squealed. Only heavens knew how happy and relieved she was feeling. Getting this job was actually a very big thing for her and she couldn't wait for the clock to strike 9. This job was one of the reasons why she left home and decided to move to a completely foreign city.

Glancing at the watch, Ellie widened her eyes in shock. "God El, sleep." But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't. The excitement and curiosity was too much to let her fall asleep but she had to otherwise she would be late for the first day of her new job.

After rechecking the alarm, Ellie cuddled inside the blanket but she still couldn't stop thinking about the new journey of her life that would begin starting tomorrow. Little did she know that the new journey would also change her life forever.

…..

Sebastian's place.

"No."

"Please."

"No Ava, I am not allowing that."

Ava pouted her lips and complained, "But you said you'll let me do whatever I want."

Sebastian frowned and snapped, "But I never said you can move out, did I? You know how unsafe it is and-"

Cutting him off, Ava tucked onto his sleeves and vigorously shook her head, "Nothing will happen and I promise I'll stay safe. I have always wanted to live with June and-"

"The area where June lives is very unsafe and if you wanna live with June, I'll arrange for a new place and you both can shift there."

"But-"

Cutting her off, Sebastian shook his head. "No Ava, no ifs and buts. If you wanna move over to a place that I will arrange for you both then it's fine otherwise you have to stay here with me."

Ava widened her eyes in shock and shouted, "No, I don't wanna live with you." She wanted to live with her best friend to have fun and live her life the way she wants but living with Sebastian was more tough and suffocating than living with her parents. His strict schedule and extra clean house made her feel awkward and weird.

"Then you have two options, either you live with me here or you live with June in the place that I'll arrange for the two of you." Though Sebastian wanted her to do whatever Ava wanted, he still couldn't take a chance or let Ava loosen up the security around her.

Puffing her cheeks, Ava punched Sebastian's arm. "Alright and I take my words back, you are not the bestest big brother."

"Oh so what am I now?" Sebastian asked.

"You are just the best."
