Chapter 151 - Camping spot

Taking a deep breath, she explained, "Look I totally understand why you are freaking out, I know you are scared because you think she will reject you or you will mess things up but trust me, we all are here to save your ass if anything happens. Like I said before, leave everything on me and just focus on the whole how you are going to do it part."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Sebastian inquired, "Do you think that I scared her?"

"Scared? Dude she is freaking out and it's so evident. I mean, if you are scared that she will reject you then mark words man, that is not gonna happen. She loves and cares about you, I can see it in her eyes," she answered.

As Charlotte was busy making Sebastian understand what he was doing wrong, the others were busy guessing what they might be discussing.

"I say it's something related to the whole Seb's mom wanting him to date Charlotte thing," Mellisa assumed.

"Hmm I think that its not related to any of that, Seb would never corner talk some other woman in Ellie presence for some stupid reason like our mother. This seems to be very important—" Looking at Calvin, Ava inquired, "Do you know what is going on?"

Shrugging his shoulders, he reluctantly lied. "No idea what is going on."

"Nope, me neither," Owen snapped.

"No idea at all," Noah added.

The sudden response from the other two men made Melissa, Ava and Patricia very suspicious.

Melissa was about to ask them something when Ellie arrived.

Looking around, she asked, "Where is Seb?"

Hesitating for a while, Ava pointed towards Charlotte and Sebastian who were still engrossed in some kind of a very serious conversation.

"I'll go and give him this water first, I dont want his headache to get worse." When Ellie was about to leave, Melissa grabbed her hand to stop her.

"Wait, that doesn't bother you?" she frowned.

Shrugging her shoulders, Ellie inquired, "Bother what? Is there something that I should be bothered about?" Without waiting for anyone's reply, she continued, "They are having a decent conversation with a decent distance between them, that also in the presence of so many people. Is there anything to worry about? Well, I don't think so."

When no one said anything, she made her way towards them.

"So stop being a baby and be normal, she is supposed to have fun and enjoy each and every moment with you and not keep worrying about your health like your personal nurse," Charlotte snapped.

Pursing his lips, Sebastian nodded his head. He hated it when he was wrong and someone else was right but whatever Charlotte said did make sense. There was no point stressing about something that was yet to happen and he shouldn't let the future of the past affect his present. His main focus right now should be to make Ellie feel happy and make sure that she enjoys their first camping trip thoroughly. 

"Enough pep talk and abort mission, she is coming," Charlotte whispered before completely changing the topic. "So I don't know what to do now."

"Do what?" Ellie asked before passing the water to Sebastian.

Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed in disappointment, "I left my suns scream and my night care products at home so I was asking Seb if there was a way to fetch them."

"And I was telling her that she could just use yours." Wrapping his arms around her waist, he added, "But she is worried that you would mind."

"Of course not Char, you can use them as much as you want, they might not be as expensive as yours but they just work fine," Ellie smiled.

Grabbing her hand, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank You so much El, you really are a sweetheart."

After she walked away, Ellie turned towards Sebastian only to find that he was already smiling at her. "What are you smiling at?" 

Passing her the bottle, he shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing but did I tell you how beautiful you are looking today?"

Raising her brows, she remaked, "So you're saying that I don't look beautiful the other days?"

Widening his eyes in shock, he retorted, "What? When did I say that?"

"Well I think you—ahhhh." She squealed in surprise when he suddenly scooped her into his arms.

"You very well know what I meant Ms Miller, you look beautiful everyday but today you are looking a bit extra beautiful."

"What happened to your headache?" She chuckled.

"It just happened to vanish, so are you ready for the whole camping thing?" 

Hooking her arms around his neck, she smiled, "I am actually very excited."

"Me too."

….

Camping spot.

"So you own this whole place?" Brandon started interviewing the guy whom Charlotte had taken a favour from.

"Yes, I certainly do," he answered.

"A very curious question, why camping space?" Owen inquired, he couldn't stop wondering why someone would convert such a beautiful place to a personal camping space and not a resort or something like that.

Located in the suburbs, the camping spot had a very beautiful forest mountain view with an amazing scenery. The air around the entire area was chilly and comforting at the same time. The entire area was covered with tall trees and bushes which made it hard to believe that it was a personal property and not an actual forest.

"My father is very fond of camping so he converted this huge chunk of land that we owned into nice personal camping space with a very nice forest mountain look. I mean, the mountains look quite close and distinct from here so he just converted half of the land into a forest and started camping here whenever he felt like," the man explained.

Looking around, Melissa smiled, "Whatever is the reason behind making this entire place, it was a lovely idea. This place is so beautiful that I can stay here like forever."

Turning towards Charlotte, the man excitedly beamed, "Hey Charlotte, do you like the place?"

"Oh Timmy, it's beautiful," she exclaimed.

"Timmy? But my name is Jimmy," he retorted.
