Chapter 111 - Fake plants

"I swear I wanted to come but got stuck somewhere and by the time I arrived, you were already gone—"

Cutting him off, Ellie snapped harder, "I waited for four hours and you are saying that it is my fault that I decided not to wait for you anymore?" 

Sebastian widened his eyes in shock and asked, "When did I say that it's my fault?" Placing his hand on hers, he added, "I know it's my fault but believe me El, I would never do this purposely." 

Slapping his hand away, and crossed her hand in the front. "I am mad at you." 

"What can I do so that you are not mad at me anymore?" 

"I dont know." 

Helplessly shaking his head, he got up, picked up her apartment keys from the table and kept it inside his pocket. 

"What are you—ahhh," she squealed in surprise when he suddenly scooped her into his arms.

Ellie widened her eyes in shock and smacked his right shoulder. "What are you doing?"

Walking towards the door, he said, "Didn't you say that you are mad at me? So all I am doing is trying to make you not mad at me."

"If you are taking me out to eat or something then food is not gonna help." 

Without saying anything, he stepped out of the apartment and asked her to close the door before walking towards the elevator.

….

Shopping mall.

"Please, just one more."

Calvin frowned and shook his head, "You have already bought more than you should, have pity on Seb's credit card honey." 

"Oh come on Sebastian is rich, his cards were rusting inside his wallet and I am trying to bring them back to life." Dragging him to the next store, Ava added, "I do this once in a while and it's fun." 

"You stole his card, it's called stealing not having fun." 

"So? It's not like he is going to find out or something," She chuckled.

Giving his girlfriend a weird look, he sighed, "You do know that Seb is getting a mail or a sms everytime you are swiping his card to buy something right?" 

Stopping midway, Ava frowned, "What? Since when did they start doing that?" 

"It has always been like that Ava," when she gave him a weird look, he frowned, "Now don't tell me you didn't know about it."

"I don't get notification when I use my card." 

"Did you update your number in your bank after getting a new number?" 

"No."

Calvin sighed and helplessly shook his head. "Well, now you know why you aren't getting any notifications."

Looking at the credit card which she had sneakily borrowed from Sebastian without telling him, Ava pouted her lips. "Alright then, I think I shouldn't buy anything else." 

Grabbing her hand, he said, "Let's buy whatever you need and this time we will use my card okay?" 

"No, I don't want to use your money."

"Why not?" 

"Because—"

"Ms Stewart?" 

Looking at the man who just called her out, Ava rolled her eyes while Calvin raised his brows.

Walking towards her, Nathane flashed a smile. "I never expected that I'll bump into you here."

"And I never expected to bump into you ever."

Throwing his head backwards, he chuckled, "I see that you haven't changed a bit." Without waiting for her reply, he added, "The way you have been ignoring my messages, I thought I would never see you again but since we have already met, let me pass on your mother's message which I assume you did not receive or chose to ignore."

It was true that Ava had been ignoring her mother and the messages that Nathane had been bombarding her inbox for quite some time.

When Ava did not say anything, he chuckled, "I'll see you on Sunday then Ms Stewart." 

Taking a step towards her, he briefly glanced at Calvin and smirked, "We are destined to be together whether you like it or not. No matter how hard you try, you'll have to accept the fact we are gonna end up together." 

Letting go off her wrist, Calvin gritted his teeth and was about to throw a punch on Nathane's face but Ava wrapped her arms around his to stop him.

"See you soon," Nathane smirked before walking away.

After Nathane left, Calvin glared at Ava. "What the f.u.c.k was that?" Without waiting for her reply, he added, "You are going on a date with him?" 

"I—"

"Did you meet him before and has he been sending you messages all the time?" He snapped.

"I met him once before mom and dad left but I swear it was only that one time." 

"What about the messages and the date?" 

"Mom gave him my number and she wants me to go out with him this Sunday," Ava replied.

Smiling at her, he said, "Well then I hope that my girlfriend enjoys her date with some other man. Do you want me to make reservations for you? I guess I can spare a table for you and your date in one of my restaurants." 

"Cal—"

Cutting her off, he added, "Let's go, I'll drop you home." Without waiting for her reply, he started walking out of the mall towards the parking lot.

….

Sebastian's place

Getting down from the car, Ellie asked, "Where are we?" 

"My place," Sebastian said before guiding her towards the elevator. 

"Why did you bring me here?" She had never been to his apartment so she was very excited to see how it looks like but she chose to contain her excitement because she was mad at him too. Reminding herself not to lose her composure and give in so easily, she added, "Whatever it is, make it fast."

"Why? Do you have something to do?" 

"Yes."

"Oh, what?" He asked.

"I—I need to water my plants." 

Wrapping his arm on her shoulder, he chuckled, "Alright, you can leave whenever you want and then water your fake plants to your heart content." 

After they stepped into the elevator, he took out a card from his pocket and swiped it before entering a code. After a few seconds, the elevator door opened inside his penthouse. 

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, a squishy and furry little thing came running towards them.
