Chapter 106 - Scared

"What? No one is lying okay?" 

Crossing her arms in the front, Melissa raised her brow, "So are you trying to tell me that you feel nothing for Sebastian? You don't like him?"

When Ellie did not say anything, Melissa sighed, "I really don't understand what is wrong with you, I really miss my best friend El who used to share everything with me. Like I know you don't wanna share anything with me now because you have Sebastian but can you please at least tell me something?" 

Ellie rolled her eyes and threw a paper ball towards her, "You are such a drama queen Mel." 

Grinning from ear to ear, she excitedly sat down right across Ellie and asked, "So, did my cute little innocent best friend finally find the perfect man for herself?" 

"I don't know, I mean yes I like Sebastian. He is cute, sweet, freaking handsome and his smile—" sighing in satisfaction, Ellie added, "That smile is worth dying and do you have any idea who attentive he is? How can you not fall for someone like him?" 

Melissa smiled and asked, "But?"

Slapping her forehead on her desk, Ellie groaned, "I am scared," 

"Scared because you think he cannot perform in bed? Scared that his tools don't work? Scared because you think he has a small d.i.c.k?" she asked.

Throwing her pen at her, Ellie frowned, "Mel, I am serious." 

Sticking her tongue out, Melissa chuckled, "Fine, I was just kidding. Look El, I understand how you are feeling and trust me babe, that is exactly why I kept turning Noah down in the beginning. The huge gap in our background just scared me. I mean I was his assistant and he was the boss so if I had an affair with him, things would become very awkward right? Though I liked him too, I still kept shoving him away. I kept thinking about what others would think and whether our relationship would last or not which was the biggest mistake of my life." 

Ellie sighed and vigorously shook her head, "You know me Mel, I am someone who cares about the future or what others will think. Yes, I was really very worried about having anything with him but that fear is no more there." 

"Then what is your problem? Why are you feeling so hesitant?" Melissa asked.

"You see, Noah wooed you for so many months and you knew that he liked you so it was easier for you to take the decision right?" When Melissa nodded her head, Ellie added, "But I don't even know whether Seb really likes me or not. What if I am the only one who is overthinking and this means nothing to him? What if he just takes me as a very good friend? What if—"

Cutting her off, Melissa snapped, "Seriously? You think Seb doesn't like you? Okay, either you are blind or I am going crazy and have started seeing things." Without waiting for Ellie's reply, she added, "That guy takes all the trouble to fly all the way to Seattle to see you and you think he doesn't like you? You should've seen him when you were inside the emergency room El, Sebastian looked terrified and trust me, I have never seen him so terrified and neither did Noah or Ava." 

Pausing for a while, she continued, "Don't tell me you really think that Seb likes watching Disney movies and playing snake and ladders, he does that only for you and only with you El. I have known him for more than three years now and from all the things I have heard about him and his character, it shocks me seeing him like that. Seb is different when he is with us and a completely new person when it comes to you."

"So you think he likes me too?" Ellie asked.

"Of course he does, I am a hundred percent sure." When she smiled, Melissa asked, "So how did you feel when he hugged you?" 

…..

Lunch time.

Passing him a box of cookies, Ellie said, "Mom baked these specially for you when I told her that you don't like the ready made cookies because they are very sweet." 

"She didn't have to take all the trouble,"

"Okay, so you want me to tell her that you don't like it?" She asked.

Sebastian widened his eyes in shock and vigorously shook his head, "No, I never said that I don't want them." He then grabbed the box from her hand and kept it aside before concentrating on his sandwiches again.

Taking a bite, he groaned in satisfaction wondering how she managed to make something so delicious. 

"Why do you like them so much?" She asked.

"What is there not like about them?" Sebastian could eat them all day long and never get tired of it.

Taking a sip of her coffee, she said, "Hmm so next time I leave, I'll teach Patricia how to make one so that you can eat them whenever you want." 

Keeping the sandwich on the plate, he frowned, "This is the second time you are saying this Ellie, where the hell are you planning to go again? Wasn't two weeks enough? You can't leave me alone like that all the time, it's so stressful when you are not around."

"Like I said before Sebastian, I need a reason to stay and make sandwiches for you forever."

Sebastian frowned deeper and was about to say something when Ava entered the room along with others. 

"Ahh I smell tasty food," Ava beamed before pouncing at the sandwiches. But before she could come anywhere near it, Sebastian grabbed the plate and shielded it using his hands. 

"Stay away, they are mine," he hissed.

Ava pouted her lips and complained, " Meanie," before looking at Ellie.

"There is no point trying that Ava, Sebastian will never let anyone touch it," Hooking his arms around Ava's neck, Noah added, "Except for Ellie because she is free to touch anything that belongs to Seb."
