Awkwardly clearing his throat, Sebastian took out his wallet and explained, "She isn't."
"Ah so she is someone you are courting, roses will work for that too."
Without explaining himself, Sebastian took the bouquet, paid for it and left.
….
Opening the passenger door of his car, he carefully placed the bouquet on the seat. He then closed the door and jogged towards the driver seat.
The sky was already covered with thick black clouds and the wind was strong. Glancing at his watch, he sighed pulling the car door but he stopped midway when his eyes landed on something.
Closing his eyes, he took a few deep breaths and murmured, "No Sebastian, that will be too much."
Tapping his fingers on the car door for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth, locked his car and made his way towards the other side of the street.
…..
Ellie's apartment.
Though Ellie felt much better after talking to Markus, she was still upset and mad over whatever had happened.
To take the incident out of her mind, she even treated herself with a large size cheese burst pizza and a can of diet coke but when even the almighty pizza couldn't cheer her up, she decided to take a nice and warm bubble bath.
Lying inside the bathtub Ellie gathered all the foam around her and made a mountain out of it.
Pointing her finger at the white, flufy foam, she gritted her teeth. "Oh look who is it? It's the almighty, arrogant, rude and strict Sebastian Stewart."
Pressing her finger on the Sebastian foam she just created, she narrowed her eyes, "You are a very bad boy Sebastian Stewart, I'll have to spank your perfectly round ass to teach you a lesson. How dare you shout at a beautiful woman like me?"
Puffing her cheeks, she continued, "Don't you dare look at me with that beautiful eyes of yours because your handsomeness and sexiness is not gonna save you from goddess Ellie's wrath. You shall be destroyed and punished for making me upset."
"Hhhaaaaa yaaaaaa." Splitting the foam mountain into two, she brushed her hands together. "This is what you get for shouting at a goddess."
Slapping her forehead, she chuckled, "Grow up El, you aren't five anymore."
She sighed and closed her eyes when she realized something. Was she still thinking about her boss while taking a bath? Like seriously? Is she not sane anymore?
…..
With a towel wrapped around her chest, Ellie was mercilessly shoving wafers into her mouth while talking to Melissa over the phone.
"Seriously Mel, I am fine."
"If you are really fine then why did you leave the office early and what's with this sudden leave?" Melissa asked.
"It's a three days paid leave anyway and I was about to take it anyway." Looking at the several boxes who were glaring at her Ellie added, "I still haven't unpacked properly and I need to do it."
"Ahh I wanted to help you but I cannot come over now."
"Why? Is sex that important?" Ellie asked.
"Uh huh it is but that is not the real problem. There is a cyclone coming up any minute. Wait, don't tell me you haven't noticed it yet?"
"Noticed what?" Ellie asked.
"It's already raining outside El so don't step out of your house okay? Stay inside because this cyclone is a really bad one."
"Alright I—" Just then, the doorbell rang interpreting her midway.
"I think it's my neighbor Mrs Trisi, she left her keys at my place. I'll talk to you later okay?"
"Alright, take care."
After hanging up the call, Ellie got up and rushed towards the door.
"Hey Mrs Tri—" she widened her eyes in shock when she saw Sebastian and banged the door shut right on his face.
