Trapped In Her Heart

When Ellie arrived downstairs, Sebastian was leaning against the car reading something on his phone.

When he saw her, he placed his phone inside his pocket and took the bag from her hand. "I hope you have everything that you need Ms Miller?" He asked while placing it inside the trunk.

"Yeah, I was extra careful while packing." 

"Great, our flight is at 12:30 and it's 11:18 already so we need to rush."

"We wouldn't have to rush if you didn't forget to tell me about the trip." She mumbled.

"Hmm, did you say something?" 

"No I didn't," Ellie denied before getting into the car.

….

LAX(Los Angeles International Airport)

As soon as they arrived at the airport, two men dressed in black suits guided them inside the airport and through the security check. They passed through the security check much faster than Ellie had expected it to take. It was actually the fastest security check she had ever experienced.

"Wow, that was pretty fast," she commented.

"What?"

"Hmm the security check, like I had expected it to be fast because it's you but not so fast."

Sebastian chuckled and asked, "Are you complaining?"

"What? When did I complain?" 

"Well, that tone sounded like you were." He said before getting into the car which would take them to his private jet.

Frowning at him, Ellie quietly followed him behind.

…..

Looking at the jet, Ellie widened her eyes in shock. "Woahh, do you own this?"

"No I don't, I stole it from someone yesterday so if you see another plane following us from behind do tell me because that might be the police." He whispered.

She frowned and was about to retort when the pilot approached them and greeted Sebastian.

Swearing to get back on him later for making fun of her, she puffed her cheeks and boarded the plane along with him.

…..

Inside the private jet.

Though the jet looked small, it was quite spacious and luxurious from the inside.

Settling down in one of the seats, Ellie sighed. 'Being rich isn't that bad but being Sebastian rich feels heavenly,' she thought.

"It's a 1 hour 21 mins journey," Sitting down beside her, he added, "Fasten up your seat belts Ms Miller." 

After fastening up her seat belt, she asked, "So what is this trip about?"

"It's with one of our oldest clients Mr Timbleton, we are planning to start another collaboration together but this time in San Francisco. Mr Timbleton's company will be in charge of the construction while we will be doing the marketing. We are going there to discuss a few things and sign a contract." 

Running her fingers through the belt, Ellie asked, "Why wasn't this trip mentioned in your schedule?"

"For confidentiality purposes, this trip isn't mentioned anywhere so I was supposed to tell you about it personally but it slipped my mind." Pausing for a while, he added, "I am sorry for not telling you earlier."

"You don't have to apologize, you are my boss so it's completely fine. Hmm I think I am partly at fault too." 

Sebastian frowned and asked, "How?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she hesitated for a while and said, "Hmm I think I have been engaging you alot with those movies and games, I mean I know you have lots of work to do but yet—" Biting her lower lip, she added, "I even heard Ava and all saying that you are very distracted and not very focused at all these days so I thought that—"

Cutting her off, he vigorously shook his head, "No, it's not your fault. It's not like I forgot about the trip because of the movies or games. It just slipped my mind so you are just overthinking and I love watching movies with you—" realising what he had just said, he quickly reframed his words, "I mean, I like watching movies in my free time and that board game is very addicting so it's definitely not your fault."

"Oh, so I guess I was worrying for nothing."

"Uh huh, for nothing."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Ellie called him out, "Boss."

"Hmm,"

Smiling at him, she said, "I love watching movies with you too because you are the first person who doesn't move away or snaps at me when I hit you while laughing so it's fun." 

….

Twenty-minutes later.

Sebastian chuckled when he realised that Ellie had actually fallen asleep on his shoulder again. 

Just then the air assistance approached them but Sebastian gestured her to keep quiet and leave. 

Carefully wrapping the cover over her shoulder, he smiled and took a deep breath. Why did it always feel so peaceful and happy when she was close?

"You love watching movies with me but I watch movies only with you." He murmured before resuming reviewing the doc.u.ment.

…..

San Francisco 

Hotel Montana Heritage.

Outside room 705

"This is your room and—" passing her the key card, Sebastian added, "This is your key card."

Taking the card from his hand, Ellie said, "Thank for this and I am so sorry for that."

Looking at the huge wet patch on his white shirt, he smiled, "It's alright, I have an extra shirt." 

Massaging her forehead, she sighed, "I don't know how I feel asleep and—"

"It's alright Ms Miller, don't stress over it. You should go in and freshen up first. Since the meeting is tomorrow and we currently have nothing to do, let's go outside for a walk okay?" 

She smiled and nodded her head, "That sounds great."

"I'll see you soon then," Sebastian said before walking towards his room.

….

Inside Ellie's room.

Excited to go out and explore the city with Sebastian, Ellie decided to take a nice warm shower first.

After taking a shower and moisturizing herself well, she opened the bag to take out her clothes.

She gasped in horror when she realised something. "Oh my God, please please no—" tossing everything out of the bag, she g.r.o.a.n.e.d in frustration and sat down on the edge of the bed cursing herself for being so absent minded.

"Stupid, idiot, good for nothing Ellie," she snapped at herself for forgetting to pack the blouse and t-shirt that she had sorted out.
