Trapped In Her Heart

"Not yet but you don't know what might happen in the future and….ouch babe that hurts." Noah winced in pain when Melissa pinched him.

Glaring at her boyfriend, Melissa murmured, "Stop pushing my best friend towards your creepy cousin because that is never happening." Apart from the fact that Sebastian was not at all interested in women, there was also a heaven and hell difference between Ellie and Sebastian's character. One was super cool and lived her life like a free bird while the other was super boring and always caged himself. Ellie was an extrovert while Sebastian was the king of introverts.

Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Noah sighed, "Babe, no one has seen the future okay? Remember the time when you said you will never fall for me and would never want to have a thing with your boss?"

"Oh God, how many times do I have to ask not to bring that embarrassing thing up?"

Kissing the top of her head, Noah chuckled, "Well, I think that is cute. I mean, what is there to be embarrassed about? I courted you for three long months and then finally you decided to give in. It was super tough to charm you honey."

"You better have a very good point for bringing that thing up Noah Stewart otherwise you are not touching me tonight." When Noah confessed about his feelings to Melissa for the first time, she had turned him down saying that she would never want to have anything with her boss or anyone she works with as it is against her principles. But later when Noah started courting her and following her around everywhere, she ended up falling for him too. So in order to save herself from embarrassment, Melissa warned Noah never to bring that thing up ever again.

"Okay my lady. So my point is, even you did not hope that we would happen right?" When Melissa nodded her head. Noah added, "So maybe it's the same for them."

"You-"

"Ahhhh Mel." Ava shouted before rushing towards them.

Grabbing Melissa's hand, Ava started swirling around, squealing in excitement.

Seeing Ava all cheerful and happy, Melissa chuckled and asked, "Someone seems super happy today."

Letting go of Melissa's hand, Ava crashed on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief, "Ahhh you have no idea how happy I am Mel. I feel like a free bird today, everything looks so beautiful. I saw a dog pooping on the roadside while coming here and damn it, even that dirty poop looked so beautiful and fresh."

"Ewwwww, gross." Melissa g.r.o.a.n.e.d before crashing on the couch beside Ava.

"Don't you people have work? It's office hours, all of you should be working." Sebastian wasn't used to having so many inside his office during working hours and he was also not liking the way Ava and Melissa were messing up his couch.

"Not me big bro, didn't you say that I can do whatever I want to?" Leaning back, Ava closed her eyes and sighed. "Ahhh the feeling of doing whatever I can without any restrictions already feels super good."

"Wait what? You can do whatever you want to? I don't understand." Melissa asked.

Ava excitedly clapped her hands together and explained, "Mom and dad are away for two months or more. So since Seb is incharge, my kind, generous, handsome and dashing big brother gave me the permission to do whatever I want to. Ah I am even moving into a new place with June after a few days. This is going to be so much fun and Mel, you will accompany us right? For the fun?"

Melissa grinned and vigorously nodded her head. "You kidding me? Obviously I will. In fact, you are very lucky because we have one more crazy person who will accompany us for this."

"Who is it?" Ava asked.
