Chapter 157 - The confession

'You are my Olaf…..'

The last four words that Sebastian just blurted out made Ellie's heart burst in joy and she couldn't stop her lips from curling upwards. She could feel heat creeping through her cheeks and she knew that she was blushing so damn hard that even a tomato woud look pale in front of it but she could do nothing about it. Neither could stop her cheeks from turning red nor stop her heart from blooming in joy. So to save herself from getting teased or being too obvious, she looked away.

Her sudden actions obviously bothered Sebastian alot and it made him wonder if he had said something that he shouldn't have. "El, what happened?"

With her head still turned to the other side, she vigorously shook her head. "Hmm nothing happened."

"Then why are you not looking at me? Did I say something wrong?" Without waiting for her reply, he kept guessing. "Is it because I called you a snowman? Ahh I should have known this, only an idiot like me would call his date a snowman I—"

"No no, I am not angry because you called me that." Looking at him, she added, "I just needed some time to control my overwhelming emotions and Olaf is not just a character made of snow, he is an emotion. In fact, Olaf symbolizes trust, faith, love and support. Everyone loves Olaf, even I love him."

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he muttered, "I love Olaf too."

Gulping in nervousness, she stuttered for a while before hesitantly asking him something which for some odd reason made her heart skip a beat. "Y-You mean that you love the character Olaf, right?" 

Grabbing her, he intertwined them with his and exclaimed in a very assuring tone. "I meant that I love my Olaf."

"But you just said that I am your Olaf," she murmured. Her head, heart and every nerve in her body were dancing and paragliding in a different kind of sensation that she had never felt before but it still felt very weirdly good and she was enjoying feeling that way. 

Without giving her any further time to process through the entire thing that had happened and was about to happen, he gently squeezed her hand. "We have been together for quite some time now though it still feels like you tripped in my office yesterday, I have no words to describe how incredible the time we have spent together has been."

Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, "Before I met you, I was a total geek who knew nothing but to work his ass off and someone who wanted everything to be perfect. Honestly, I thought or rather I believed that I actually lived a perfect life but everything changed after I met you. After meeting you is when I started living a perfect life, you taught me how to live one Ellie and I am so glad that you did."

When she gently squeezed his hand just like the way he did earlier, Sebastian let out a very nervous laugh. He was freaking out from inside and his facial expressions were clearly doing justice to his inner emotions. "I know that I am not very good with words like Noah or others and I also know that I am a total pain in the ass at times but the way I feel about you is not something I will ever be able to express by using a few words. So I want you to grace me with a chance to express it through my actions."

"We have been seeing each other for quite some time now and I have realized that the more I see you, the more I want to be with you. There is an invincible bond that we share which is pulling me towards you and I can't resist it Ellie, I don't even want to." Kissing the back of her hand, he murmured, "I want to fall hard for you Ellie Miller, so hard that neither you can push me away nor I can get up on my own and I already have." 

Pressing his forehead against hers, he breathed out nervously, "When I am with you, I don't want to part ways with you and when I am without you, I keep thinking about you. When you are not around, I feel empty and hollow from within. It feels like someone just took away something that is very important to me and when you are with me, I feel so complete and content. I—I really don't know if I am making any sense here but that's how important you are to me Ellie and this feeling just keeps getting stronger day by day. 

Closing his eyes, he continued, "My heart flutters everytime I see you or when anyone just casually mentions your name. I wake up every morning all bright and chirpy because I know that I am going to spend it with you and that brightens up my mood even more. You have no idea how delighted and proud I feel when I see you and Boji running around our living room and no matter how tough my day has been, a mere glimpse of you makes everything disappear."

Pulling away, Sebastian looked into her eyes which were already glistering in tears. Holding both her hands, he exclaimed in a very promising and firm tone, "I can't promise to give you the whole world, but what I can promise is to hold onto you forever. Your love is all that I need and I will do everything and more to make you feel happy because your happiness brings me joy and makes me feel perfect. I am not sure when and where this started or happened, but I do know that I love Ellie, I love you to the moon and back. I have never felt this way for anyone before and you have no idea how nervous I am right now. May be I look like a courageous and romantic man who is just saying sweet words but trust me, I am so nervous that even my ass is sweating."
