Trapped In Her Heart

Ellie winced in pain when her nose hit his c.h.e.s.t. 

Letting go off her wrist, Sebastian widened his eyes in shock and cupped her cheeks. "What happened? Let me see."

Looking at her cute little nose which had turned red, he frowned. "How did you end up hitting your nose like that?"

Inching closer, he started examining her nose without realizing that his closeness was making her heart beat faster and her stomach giddy.

"Do you have—" Stopping midway, his breathing hitched when he saw her adorable face squeezed in between his palms. The way she was looking at him with her cute innocent eyes was making him feel nervous and giddy. 

C.a.r.e.s.sing her cheeks with his thumb, he closed his eyes and sighed. Her cheeks felt so soft and comforting.

Ellie's already stiffened body froze when he started c.a.r.e.s.sing her cheeks. Dangerous, the handsome looking man right in front of her was dangerous. 

His eyes, lips, sharp nose and perfect jawline was already giving her a hard time to resist his charms and the pleasant smell of his cologne and his actions weren't helping at all. In fact, it was making things worse.

Brushing his thumb against the tip of her nose, he asked, "Does it still hurt?" 

If she said yes, would he kiss her to soothe the non-existent pain that she was feeling? 

Ellie was about to nod her head when the doorbell rang, startling both of them.

Pulling away, they quickly got up and turned around. 

Slapping her forehead, Ellie cursed herself. What the f.u.c.k was wrong with her? Was she really hoping and thinking that her boss would kiss her? Was she going insane?

Sebastian on the other hand was equally baffled. Did he just c.a.r.e.s.s her cheeks and nose? Why the f.u.c.k would he do that? But they were so soft and he wanted to touch them again.

'Damn Sebastian,' he silently cursed himself.

"I-I need to drink some water," Ellie said before rushing towards the kitchen.

When the doorbell buzzed again, he got up and made his way towards the door trying very hard not to think about Ellie and her silky smooth cheeks.

When Sebastian opened the door, he widened his eyes in shock.

Looking around, Calvin askeď, "What the hell are we doing in Sebastian's office? Weren't we supposed to go to Ellie's place?" 

Crossing his arms in front, Noah raised his eyebrows, "Is this why you told me to attend the meeting with the Grochof's today?"

"Dude you missed a meeting?" Owen asked.

"Ahh so this is the casual meeting you were talking about." Grinning from ear to ear, Ava added, "My big brother is finally growing."

"Boss do you want to have spaghetti for lunch with some chicken soup that I made last….." Ellie swallowed the rest of the words when she saw a whole bunch of familiar grinning and glaring faces.

Glaring at her best friend, Melissa faked a smile, "Uh huh make some meat balls as well because it goes very well with the spaghetti that you make and I am sure that Sebastian will love it." 

…..

"We were planning to go out but Noah's meeting extended so we mutually decided to come here and help Ellie out but who would've thought that—" looking at Sebastian Noah added, "She already has such a handsome help."

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Sebastian tried to defend both of them. "I was doing nothing over the weekend and Ms Miller needed help so I decided to help—"

"Dude you canceled a meeting and urged me to work over the weekend." Noah retorted.

"And Sebastian Stewart had no work to do? Why does that sound so weird?" Pretending to think for a couple of seconds, Owen added, "Well, because that only happens in the parallel world."

"I doubt if this happens there as well. Remember last year when I threw a party over the weekend and he said that he wouldn't come because he has lots of work to complete?" Calvin asked.

Trying to make the whole situation a bit lighter, Ellie got up and asked, "Drinks anyone?" Without waiting for anyone's reply, she added, "I'll go get it."

When Ellie rushed towards the kitchen, Melissa followed her saying, "Let me help you El."

"Ahh me too." 

"I'll join them too." 

After June and Ava left as well, Noah placed his hand on his h.i.p.s. "What the f.u.c.k is going on?"

"Going on what?" Sebastian asked.

"Dude, don't try to act like an innocent fool okay? What is going on between you and Ellie?" 

"Nothing."

"So you are here, in a young and beautiful woman's apartment looking all handsome and charming on Sunday, just like that?" Calvin asked.

"I am here to help her." 

"Who are you kidding Sebastian? You are my close cousin and my best friend too. Even you know that this is so unusual of you." Noah added.

Owen nodded his head and asked, "When was the last time I saw wear these casual clothes?"

Looking at his t-shirt, Sebastian frowned, "What? Am I looking weird? Am I not looking good?" 

With a huge grin on his face, Calvin praised him, "No Sebastian, you are looking very handsome and I am sure that Ellie loved your outfit." 

…..

Kitchen.

"Okay stop staring at me like that, you are making me nervous." 

"Oh really? Am I? Am I?" Melissa asked.

"Geez El, what did you do to my brother?" Ava asked.

Ellie raised her brows and asked, "What do you mean?" 

"You changed Sebastian." Ava added.

"Changed? What did I do?" 

"He abandons work to help you out, this is huge."

"Hmm, I agree with Ava on this one. Like is it just me or brother Seb really looked a bit different?" June asked.

"Why wouldn't he look different? That man took almost an hour to select an appropriate outfit for himself and another hour to get dressed. He wrecked his entire closet to find a perfect t-shirt he could wear and why did he do that?" Ava asked.

"Hmm because he had to help me?" Ellie guessed.

Ava rolled her eyes and helplessly shook her head, "I grew up with Sebastian El and I swear in the love of God that he never ever abandoned his work or sacrificed anything to help me out with something as unimportant as cleaning my room or my fish pond."
