Chapter 242 - Protection

Groaning in frustration, Ava scoffed, "Oh God, I think the game activated the cheesiest version of Sebastian Stewart again." 

Moving to his lap, Ellie wrapped her arms around Sebastian's neck. "Why are you so cute?" 

"Because I love you," he stated before pressing his lips on hers. 

"So we are playing anymore and kissing?" Noah chuckled. 

Shrugging his shoulder, Brandon tapped Charlotte's shoulder. "I think I like the kissing game better." 

"If you don't mind getting smudged by my lipstick," she smiled. 

Pulling her closer, he sighed, "Have I ever complained?" 

"Lipstick smudges are the best, it makes me feel so proud about myself," Noah beamed. 

....

Next day

Afternoon. 

When Sebastian came out of his room, he raised his brows when he saw the boys discussing something near the kitchen. Thinking that there might be a serious problem, he quickly approached them. "What happened? Is everything okay?" 

"Everything is fine, we are just distributive—" 

Scrunching his brows, Sebastian glared at the mini silver packets Noah was holding. "Condoms? You people are distributing condoms?" 

"Yep, Brandon and Owen forgot to get their boxes so we are distributing what Calvin and I had equally amongst ourselves," Noah explained. Passing a piece to Sebastian, he inquired, "Do you want some too?" 

"Me? Yeah, I don't think so," he answered. 

"Dude, I guess he has his own box, right Seb?" When he shook his head, Brandon raised his brows. "You don't carry condoms in your wallet?" 

"Why would anyone carry condoms in their wallet?" Sebastian frowned. 

"I do," Noah, Calvin, Owen and Brandon exclaimed unanimously. 

"I don't know about others but carrying protection is very important. I mean, you have hormones, you have a beautiful girlfriend, anything can happen anytime," Noah explained. 

Nodding his head in agreement, Owen added, "I agree with Noah, you can't go around looking for protection when—well, you guys know when." 

Thinking for a while, Sebastian curiously inquired, "So all of you carry condoms in your wallet all the time?" When everyone nodded their head, he thought for a while before taking a foil from Noah's hand. "I'll take one then." 

"Only one? Take two." Without waiting for his reply, Noah shoved another piece in his hand. "I have a feeling that you will need it very soon." 

Hooking his arms around Sebastian's neck, Brandon chuckled, "Hey Seb, you know how to wear one, right?" 

Slapping his hand away, he frowned, "Stop talking shit." 

"Hey if you don't know, we can always tell you. It's very easy, just place it and then roll it all the way long," Noah explained. 

Ignoring everyone, Sebastian kept the two silver foils inside his pocket and rushed towards his room. 

...

Seb and Ellie's room. 

After making sure that Ellie was nowhere to be seen, he quickly took out his wallet from the drawer and carefully placed the foils inside. 

"What are you doing?" Ellie inquired before tapping his shoulder. 

He quickly closed his wallet and placed it inside his pocket. "N-Nothing, where had you gone?" 

"I was in Melissa's room, is everything okay?" When he nodded his head, she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Let's take a walk today." 

"Just you and me?" When she nodded her head, he smiled, "Hmm I like the idea, just you and me walking on the beachside." 

Giving him a peck on his lips, she chuckled, "Let me get ready and while I am doing that, why don't you call your mother back." When he sighed, she placed his hand in his cheek. "She has been calling you since yesterday Seb, you can't keep her hanging like that. Just talk to her, hear what she has to say and then tell her what you have to say. If you do this, she won't feel ignored and she will also stop calling you." 

"Fine but I know what he wants to talk about, she will definitely ask me about Ava and Calvin," he stated. 

"Then just tell her what you know, don't ignore her this way." Passing him his phone, Ellie entered the washroom. 

Contemplating for a while, Sebastian reluctantly called his mother back. He had been ignoring her calls since yesterday evening and had also switched off his phone at night. He really wasn't in a mod to deal with his mother's tantrums while he was on a vacation. 

"So you are finally free to talk to your mother," Rebecca snapped as soon as she received the call. 

"I was busy, what do you want to talk about?" Sebastian inquired. 

"Did you talk to Ava about it? And how come you had no idea about her and that Lewis guy?" 

Thinking for a while, he answered, "What can I do? Ava is big enough to take her own decisions. If she thinks that being with Calvin is a right decision and if she is happy with him then I don't see anything wrong about it." 

"What about Nathan then? What will I tell them?" she frowned. 

"As far as I know, Nathan is the guy you chose for her and she was never interested in him while Calvin is the guy she chose for herself. There is a big difference between those two things and just because we don't know what we are supposed to tell Nathan and his family, we can't force Ava to be someone she doesn't want to." Pausing for a while, he added, "Just send an apology message to them or do you want me to send one from your side?" 

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Rebecca snapped, "There is no need for that, I'll do what I am supposed to. Ava is young and naïve but I had higher expectations from your Sebastian, you are also disappointing me." 

"Ignoring her statement, he stated, "I have something important to do, I'll talk to you later." Without waiting for her reply, he hung up the call before tossing his phone aside. 

"Babe, are you done talking?" Ellie inquired. 

"Yes honey, we can leave now," he answered.
