Trapped In Her Heart

After watching two movies non-stop, Ellie stretched her hands and legs. "Ahhh I can never get bored of this." 

Turning off the laptop, Sebastian cracked his fingers and asked, "How many times did you watch this already?" During the whole movie, Ellie kept laughing and told him everything beforehand and even explained several things to him though everything was well explained in the movie which made him wonder how many times she had watched the entire series.

"Hmm, I don't really remember. I never get tired of it no matter how many times I watch it. I have this huge collection of such movies..ahh you need to watch them all. You will right?" 

Sebastian smiled and nodded his head, "Of course only if you are willing to share your collection with me."

"Ahh are you kidding me? Of course I will, you have already missed so much in the past so now it's time to relive your childhood." Glancing at the watch, Ellie gasped, "Ahh it's so late already, I'll go quickly make us dinner."

"Ms Miller it's alright, you don't have to take all the trouble to—"

Cutting him off, she chuckled, "It's alright boss and don't worry even though I am clumsy at times, my cooking skill is fabulous and you are gonna love it." 

"You are always clumsy." Sebastian muttered under his breath.

"Hmm, did you say something?"Ellie asked.

Clearing his throat when Sebastian shook his head, she added, "Why don't you sit here and watch the last part of the movie and I'll quickly make something for us."

"Are you sure? I can help." He was a bit hesitant to leave her all by herself in the kitchen. Calculating her clumsiness and her extraordinary talent of falling everywhere, he had a very bad feeling that she would definitely burn or hurt herself. 

"Its alright boss, kitchen is my territory and I am a pro. You should just sit back and enjoy the movie" Without waiting for his reply, she started walking towards the kitchen.

Hesitating for a while, Sebastian sat down and opened the laptop, all set to watch the last part of the movie series.

…..

Kitchen.

Staring at the refrigerator, Ellie was immersed in a very deep thought when her eyes landed on the lettuce that was lying in there for God knows how many days.

Thinking for quite some time, she grinned and patted her shoulder, "There there Ellie Miller, you are a genius."

Grabbing the lettuce and a few other veggies that would go with it, she slammed the door shut before walking towards the counter.

…..

Living room.

Sebastian frowned and took the earphones before tossing it on the table. The movie wasn't as interesting as before and he didn't feel like watching it.

He was clearly enjoying it when he was watching it with her but now that she was no more beside him, laughing, explaining unnecessary things, the movie wasn't appealing enough. 

Leaning back, he crossed his arms in the first and frowned deeper. Did he enjoy the movie only because Ellie was watching it with him? Or was the last part really very boring? 

Massaging his forehead, he sighed. What was wrong with him? 

After closing the laptop, he decided to check on Ellie but a phone call interrupted him.

Looking at the caller ID, he took a deep breath before receiving it.

"Where are you?" 

Awkwardly scratching his forehead, Sebastian lied, "I am at the office mom, what happened?"

"Where is Ava?" 

"She might be at home, why? What happened?" He asked.

"Do you know that your sister hasn't stepped into the house since we left? And aren't you supposed to make sure that she doesn't break rules? Do you have any idea where that girl has been staying?" Rebecca snapped.

"Mom, Ava has been staying with me since you and dad left. She said she feels lonely in the mansion so I called her over and she will be staying with me until you both come back." Sebastian lied again. 

"Hmm, make sure that she doesn't do anything inappropriate. My friend's son is quite interested in her , so remind her to call him. She isn't receiving my call so you'll have to pass on that message." 

Without waiting for his reply, she added, "And ask her to receive my call."

"I will mom and don't worry about Ava or anything else, I'll take care of it." 

"This is why I am proud of you son." Rebecca said before hanging up the call.

Looking at the blank screen, Sebastian sighed before tossing his phone aside.

….

Kitchen.

Stirring the bubbling thick chicken soup, Ellie was humming a song while swaying her hip too and fro. 

Leaning against the door, Sebastian chuckled when Ellie used the spatula as a mic before singing Boss Bitch by Doja Cat aloud. 

Turning the stove off, she lifted her other hand up and swapped her h.i.p.s up and down before swirling around only to find her boss staring at her with a very amusing smile on his face.

Dropping the spatula on the floor, Ellie jumped back in horror.

Sebastian widened his eyes in shock and shouted, "Be careful, the soup is hot El—" stopping midway, he corrected himself, "I mean Ms Miller, the soup is hot." 

Placing her hand on her c.h.e.s.t, Ellie patted her c.h.e.s.t. "You scared me boss."

"I am sorry for interrupting your dance." 

"I—" lowering her head, she blushed and awkwardly stood there without saying anything. 

Picking up the spatula from the floor, she quickly turned around. "Hmm the food is almost ready boss, I'll bring it out in a minute." 

"Let me help you with the serving."

"There—"

Cutting her off, he took the spatula from her hand. "I'll serve the soup, you can take out the bowl." 

After washing the spatula in the sink, Sebastian stirred the soup a couple of times before taking the bowl from her hand.

"I thought you were watching the movie, what happened?" She asked.

"I had attended an important call so I had to stop." 

And Sebastian lied again. Well, he couldn't tell her that the movie wasn't interesting because she wasn't beside him right?
