Chapter 159 - Together forever

Sebastian frowned and snapped, "What? Snake?"

Taking out her phone from her pocket, Ellie turned on the flashlight and reflected it towards Brandon so that Sebastian could check properly.

"I cannot believe I am looking for a snake now," he muttered before looking at the back of Brandon's neck.

"Do you see a snake?" Ellie curiously inquired. The way Brandon was reacting, she was a hundred percent sure a real living snake was hiding under his clothes.

Pulling out a long leafy thing from the back of Brandon's neck, Sebastian scoffed, "You call this a snake? It's s f.u.c.k.i.n.g twig you idiot." Inching closer, he gritted his teeth, "But I wish it was a real snake because I would've loved watching it bite your ass."

"Seriously, a twig?" Dashing out of the bush, Charlotte fumed at Brandon who had just started to calm down. "You mistook a twig for a real snake? You gotta be kidding me."

Letting out an astonished laugh, Ellie remarked, "Ah so Charlotte is here too."

"For a second I thought that he was attacked by a real snake," Noah commented before stepping out of the bush along with Melissa and others.

Wrapping her arms around Sebastian, Ellie nervously chuckled, "En honey, did you invite the whole group to witness our proposal?"

"Of course not, I knew that Charlotte would be keeping a close eye because we had things planned but others—" Stopping midway, he glared at the group of people and the main culprit who had just ruined his special moment. "What are all of you doing here?"

"We really had no intentions of invading or disturbing the two of you but the unfortunate misinterpretation of a twig for a snake was totally unexpected along with the yelling and dancing. In fact, we were quite excited and jumpy too see you both ki—"

Cutting Owen off, Charlotte glared at him and explained, "They didn't want to miss the special moment and wanted to celebrate it with the two of you so I let them join me."

"Okay so since all the yelling, crying, spying and also romantic moments are over, can we have some best friend moment here?" Without waiting for anyone's reply, Melissa started squealing and rushed towards Ellie while she did the exact same thing.

Sebastian on the other hand who was still super bumped after what had happened, glared at Brandon before balling his hand into a fist. 

Shrugging his shoulders, Brandon wiped his sweat away and breathed a sigh of relief, "For a second I thought it was actually a real snake and it would surely eat me up."

"Do you have any idea how lucky you are because I can't see any snake nearby and also because I just succeeded in something that means the world to me?" Taking a step towards him, Sebastian growled, "If not for these two reasons, you would have been crawling by now."

Pressing his hand on her chest, Brandon nervously chuckled, "Woah easy dude, what are you so bumped up about?"

Looking at Noah, Sebastian gritted his teeth. "Seriously man, take care of him otherwise I'll kick his ass."

"Brandon, you just spoiled Sebastian's first kiss and that is why he is so bumped," Calvin explained.

Raising his brows, he inquired, "You mean first kiss with Ellie?"

"No, first kiss ever," Noah answered.

"Pfft really? You have never—" Cupping Sebastian's face, he took a closer look at his lips. "Ahh so this is how a v.i.r.g.i.n lips looks like."

Jerking his hands off, Sebastian huffed, "Get you hands off me."

Throwing his hand in thin air, Brandon chortled, "So what if you missed the first shot, just go and do it now."

"No, the moment is gone now and all thanks to you." The disappointment of not grabbing the golden opportunity he had got to do something that he knew even Ellie wanted was too deep to let go. He managed to carry it out the entire plan so smoothly only to screw it at the end.

"Oh my God El, this is beautiful," Ava gasped before brushing her finger against the pendant.

The pendant that Sebastian had gifted Ellie as their proposal gift was a three carat crystal drop shaped diamond with a thin wheat chain. The crystal drop was attached to a four petaled diamond flower which had a sweet and light sparkly look. 

Fanning her eyes with her hand, Melissa choked, "I cannot believe you are finally together with Sebastian, I am so happy for you that I cannot stop my tears."

"And I cannot believe that my geeky brother is actually so romantic and has a girlfriend now," Ava chuckled.

Waving Boji's paw, June smiled, "I am sure that our little Boji here is very happy as well."

Taking out a few lanterns from her bag, Charlotte smiled, "Now why don't all of us celebrate this occasion with lighting some lanterns and making a wish." Giving each pair one sky lantern, she added, "Make sure that they fly because if they don't, your wish will not be fulfilled."

Opening the packet, Brandon mockinly inquired, "And who fulfils these wishes? The lantern God?"

Slapping his hand away, Charlotte snapped, "No, the snake God."

Taking Boji from June, Ellie made her way towards Sebastian who was smiling at them already.

Scratching Boji's head, he chuckled, "So does Boji know that mommy said yes?"

"Well, I guess she will figure it out after she notices them sharing a room together," she answered.

Taking the lantern out, he carefully arranged it before lighting it up. Stretching his other hand towards her, he smiled, "Let's make a wish together."

Holding Boji in one hand and the lantern in the other, Ellie closed and muttered, "Let Seb and El be together forever."

After slowly letting it go, she grabbed his hand and impatiently waited for it to soar higher and when it did, she beamed in excitement and pounced into his embrace.

"You do know that even if this thing hadn't worked, Seb and El would have been always together, right?"
