Chapter 238 - His choice

Inside the car. 

"What were you and dad talking about?" Ellie curiously inquired. 

"He was telling me that we should have a daughter first," Sebastian smiled. 

Smacking his arm, she placed her head on his shoulder. "Stop joking." 

"I am not joking babe." Kissing the top of her head, he sighed, "I think he likes me. We should really visit them more often, maybe make a monthly trip or something like that. What do you say?" 

"I don't know about you Seb but if I visit Seattle monthly, I will gain at least twenty pounds every month." Poking his stomach, Noah sighed, "Why does everything taste so good here?" 

Rolling her eyes at him, Melissa snapped, "Who told you to eat like a tank?" Turning towards Ellie and Sebastian, she added, "He ate dessert six times yesterday and then begged me to give him my share too." 

"Hey, we were leaving today so everything was super overwhelming," Noah retorted. 

"You are just unbelievable," she sighed. 

Turning towards Noah, Sebastian inquired, "Is everything okay there?" 

"Uh huh, everything is set but I don't understand one thing, why can't we stay in your new beach house?" Noah asked. 

"Because it's still under construction," Sebastian causally answered. 

Scrunching his brows, Noah remarked, "But it has been more than a year since the construction started." 

"Noah, do you not want us to stay in your place?" Sebastian snapped. 

"When did I say that? That place belongs to all of us, we are all family," he answered. 

"Okay then the problem is solved." 

Inching closer, Ellie whispered, "Why do I feel like you're up to something?" 

Kissing the back of her hand, he chuckled, "Because you know me very well." 

"When will Ava and others reach there? Before or after us?" Melissa inquired.

��We will land there late in the evening around 8:00 pm (GMT-10) and—" 

Cutting Sebastian off, Melissa smiled, "Woah oh ho big guy, you lost me the moment you mentioned GMT something." 

"Yeah me too," Ellie added. 

Looking at the two of them simultaneously, Sebastian raised his brows, "You guys don't know what Greenwich Mean Time is?" 

"Well, of course we know what it means but I never understood it properly," Melissa answered. 

"Uh huh, the time zones are way too complicated for my freelancer brain cells," Ellie chuckled. 

Helplessly shaking his head, Sebastian sighed, "Alright, let's eliminate the GMT's . Now in simpler words, we will land in Hawaii at 8:00 pm L.A time." 

"Okay so what Hawaiian time is that?" 

"6:00 pm," he answered. 

"Geez so complicated, can't we have the same timezone everywhere?" Melissa sighed. 

...

Seven hours later. 

Honolulu, Hawaii. 

Noah's Beach House. 

"You and El can take the first room from the right," Noah informed. 

Looking at Ellie who was soundly sleeping on the couch, he nodded his head, "Okay, I'll take her upstairs first. She didn't sleep properly during the flight, kept waking up." Walking towards her, he inquired, "When will they arrive?" 

"In about three hours, I'll order take outs for us. Brandon told me they will eat something and come,"Noah informed. 

"Just call me when the food arrives." Without wasting any more time, he scooped Ellie in his arms and made his way upstairs, towards their room. 

…..

Ellie and Sebastian's room. 

Carefully placing her on the bed, he lied down beside her and hugged her for a while. He smiled and kissed the top of her head when she wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled closer. These small actions always made him realize that she was comfortable with him and he loved that feeling. 

After being together for so many months, he was so used to having her right beside him that the mere thought of losing her scared under any kind of circ.u.mstances scared the hell out of him. He would do anything to always keep her close to him no matter what it takes. 

All his life, he never really did what he actually wanted to and always followed what his parents instructed him to do. Not that he didn't want to follow his fathers footsteps and take care of the company after him but he was also never given a choice like Noah. He grew up hearing that one day, he has to take over the company so he didn't really have a choice. 

But irrespective of everything, Ellie was different. She was his choice, something he wanted for himself and he was very proud of her. Sebastian had no idea he could also love someone so intently and deeply until she jumped into his life. Not only did she manage to bring out the best version of him but she also made him feel all the emotions which he always thought he was deprived of. 

"What time is it?" she softly inquired in her half-asleep state. 

"There is still some time for dinner, you can sleep for a while," he instructed. 

Snuggling closer, she instructed, "Wake me up when food is ready, I am so hungry." 

"Hmm what do you wanna eat?" he inquired. 

"You," she chuckled. 

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "I am trying to be serious here and you are being romantic again." 

"Anything edible will do but right now, I want my cuddles," she demanded. 

Without saying anything, he hugged her tighter and gave her a cozy forehead kiss which brought a smile on her face. 

.....

Noah and Melissa's room. 

"Who told you that mom?" Noah frowned. 

"My friend Dorathy told me about it just now, I think Rebecca knows about Ellie," Rosy answered. 

"Alright, I'll let Seb know about it later when Ellie isn't around. I don't wanna spoil her holiday mood." 

"Yes that is a nice idea, I tried calling Rebecca but she isn't receiving my calls," she added. 

"Don't bother calling her, you know how she is." Pausing for a while, he sighed, "Don't worry about anything, Seb and I will handle everything." 

"I know you both will. Anyway, just take care of yourself and have fun," Rosy stated before hanging up the call.
