Trapped In Her Heart

"He never helped Noah and me when we were shifting." Melissa added.

"I guess he did not even attend your housewarming party or did he?" June asked.

"You kidding me? Of course he didn't. We literally called him over twice but he said he had a very important meeting." Looking at Ellie, Melissa continued, "And you say that he came over to help you because he was free?" 

"El you do know that Sebastian is never free right? So if he is here with you then he actually took all the trouble to free his slot for you." Placing her hand on Ellie's shoulder, Ava smiled, "I think Sebastian is really find of you." 

Ellie widened her eyes in shock and chuckled, "What? No, it's nothing like that okay? May be he is just worried that I stay alone and I am also clumsy so he decided to help me out." 

"And why do you think does he care about you or your clumsiness?" June asked.

Shrugging her shoulders, Ellie helplessly shook jer head, "You guys are overthinking okay? It's nothing like that. Now, if you all excuse me I'll have cook lunch. We did a lot of work and I am sure that boss is very hungry." 

"Ah ha I knew it, you care about him too." Melissa snapped.

Placing her hand on her waist, Ellie raised her eyebrows, "Why the hell shouldn't I care about feeding the person who helped me clean my living room? Okay, if you guys can't help, go and sit outside. Let me cook in peace."

"Fine, I'll help you." Melissa grumpily said.

"Hmm do you need four more hands or you people are good?" ava asked.

"You both should go and chill outside, I'll call you if we need help." 

After Ava ans June left, Ellie took out some chicken from the freezer.

"I thought you were making meat balls?" 

"Yes I am but I am also making some soup for boss, he likes it alot." 

Raising her brows, Melissa added, "Hmm, may be your boss would love it if you strip yourself n.a.k.e.d in front of him."

"Mel,"

"Alright, I am extremely sorry. I'll just keep shut."

…..

"Ohh this looks delicious," Rubbing his hands together, Calvin sniffed the juicy meatballs and sighed in satisfaction.

"El is a great cook. Ahh you should try her sandwiches, they are fabulous."

Pouring a bowl of soup for Sebastian, Ellie sat down beside him, "Everything is a little less spicy because I had no idea who likes spicy and who doesn't."

"Sebastian isn't a spice lover," Owen commented before taking a sip of the soup. "Oh my God, this is amazing." 

"Damn El, this is fabulous," Ava g.r.o.a.n.e.d in satisfaction.

Taking a sip of the soup, Sebastian smiled. Just like he has fancied it be. The meatballs, the spaghetti everything was so perfect, Ellie was so perfect. Her fantastic cooking skills completely over shadowed her clumsiness. 

"So since the cleaning is already done, what should we do next?" Noah asked.

 "Hmm, how about we watch a movie?" Owen asked.

Calvin and Noah grinned before turning towards Sebastian.

"Hey Seb, woul you like to watch a Barbie starred movie?" 

"Or a movie about a Disney princess?" 

Bursting into a laughter, Owen added, "Or Alice in wonderland?"

Without paying any heed to their teasing comments, Sebastian decided to concentrate on his soup instead. He would rather enjoy the delicious soup than reacting on their silly comments. 

"How about we play a board game?" Ava suggested.

June nodded her head and agreed. "Hmm that is a great idea but what kind?"

"How about snake and ladders? We can play that," Ellie suggested with a huge grin on her face.

"Ah that is a great idea."

"Geez when was the last time I actually played snake and ladders? Wow, it has been years."

"Me too."

"Let's play after eating."

When everyone agreed, Ellie leaned towards Sebastian and whispered, "Boss, hmm don't climb up a snake this time okay?" to which he smiled and whispered back, "Don't worry Ms Miller, I have been exclusively trained by an expert and I wouldn't dare to let my teacher down."

Ellie chuckled and resumed eating her food, trying very hard not to blush or choke on the spaghetti.

Their cute little interaction did not go unnoticed by Melissa. She smiled, helplessly shook her head while thinking about how Sebastian and Ellie would look like if they started dating officially. They would definitely look super cute.

….

"Okay since we are too many people, let's divide ourselves into cute little groups." Grabbing Melissa's hand, Noah added, "So Mel and I, Owen and June, Calvin and Ava, Seb and El."

"Ah my baby is so smart," Giving him a peck on his lips, Melissa added, "And here's your reward."

"Only that? I want a big reward." 

Cupping his cheeks, she brushed their nose together and chuckled, "How about I reward you in bed tonight?"

Covering her ears, Ellie g.r.o.a.n.e.d, "Oh come on you guys, stop with that PDA."

"Seriously you two, get a room." Ava commented before sitting beside Calvin.

"You singletons are just jealous." Sitting on Noah's l.a.p, Melissa added, "And you'll be more jealous when we win this game."

"Geez, in your dreams." Pulling June towards him, Owen made her sit in his l.a.p. "We are gonna win this, right babe."

Giving him a peck on his lips, June nodded her head.

Looking at Ava, Calvin sighed. Even he wanted his girlfriend to sit on his l.a.p but he couldn't do that, at least not when Sebastian and Noah were present. He didn't want them to turn his a.s.s black and blue.

Understanding what he was thinking, Ava inched closer until their shoulders touched. She then placed her pinky on his before looking at him.

Satisfied with the cute little gesture, his mood lifted up again. This was so much better than a kiss. 

Arranging the square pieces, Sebastian said, "Just letting you all know that you can't use the snakes to climb up, you can only use the ladders. The snakes bite you down and ladders take you up."

Giving Sebastian a weird look, Owen frowned, "Dude, we know."

"Exactly, we are not small kids okay?"

"And what kind of stupid person would use the snakes to climb up?" Noah asked.
