"Are you feeling nervous? Well, why would you feel nervous about it? I mean, I am the one proposing and if I f.u.c.k up, I'll be the one facing the rejection so its totally on me." Pausing for a while, Sebastian added, "What do you think Boji, what are the chances of Ellie rejecting me?"
Looking at Boji, who definitely had no idea what he was talking about, he chuckled, "I wish you could talk for real but anyway, I think there is 0.01% of her rejecting me. Well, overconfidence is not good for health so now you know why that 0.01%."
Cressing the top of her head, he smiled, "There is another good news for you, we have decided to take you with us because we can't leave you alone and honestly, I need you to be there with us when the happy moments start."
Petting her for quite some time, Sebastian got up. "Alright, let's get you to bed and I'll go workout to release some stress."
After placing Boji on her bed, he took off his t-shirt and made his way towards the room which he had converted into a home gym.
…
Next morning.
Tying her hair into a messy bun, Ellie entered Sebastian's room to wake him up. It was still very early but they had to leave for the camping at sharp seven and there were many things to take care of.
"Good morning—" stopping midway, she raised her brows when she did not see him on the bed. Looking around and after making sure that he really wasn't there, she frowned and rushed downstairs.
"Sebastian?" she called him out before checking the kitchen. When he did not respond, she was about to go to heer room to fetch her cell phone to call him, a half n.a.k.e.d man drenched in sweat stepped out of the room right beside the kitchen.
With a white towel wrapped around his neck and sweat dripping all over his chest and tasty abs, Sebastian was still panting and trying very hard to catch a breath. "Hey, morning."
Ellie, who was not ready to witness such a drooling scenario early in the morning, couldn't take her eyes off him. There she was expecting to see his handsome smiling face but who would've thought that she would end up seeing so much.
But was she complaining? Of course not, what kind of idiot would whine after seeing an eye candy early in the morning?
Snapping his fingers in front of her face, he inquired, "El, are you fine?"
Coming out of her delicious stupor, Ellie cleared her throat and awkwardly looked away. "I didn't know that you worked out this early." Because if she had known, she would definitely force herself up to treat her eyes with such a delicious scenario every morning. What could be more better than starting her day with a nice glimpse of half n.a.k.e.d Sebastian Stewart with his chiseled abs?
"No I don't, it's just today," he answered.
"Hmm, I think you should workout every morning and walk around like this for a while," she blurted out.
Realizing what she has just said, she widened her eyes in shock and tried to cover up her l.u.s.tful statement with something civil. "I mean, I have heard that working out early in the morning helps in boosting the immune system and then if you walk around with your upper body drenched in-in sweat, t-that is very helpful too."
Sebastian chuckled and asked, "What?"
After making a complete fool of herself, she quickly turned around and rushed towards the kitchen. "Ahh I'll quickly make breakfast and you, go and take a shower."
Leaning against the kitchen door with a huge smirk on his face, he teased, "El, are you sure you don't want me to move around for some more time with my body drenched in sweat?"
"Alright, will you go and take a shower or do you want me to kick you out?" she fumed.
Wiping his chest with the towel, he chuckled and made his way towards his room.
…..
Calvin's place.
"So, all ready?" Calvin inquired.
Giving him a kiss, Ava nodded her head. "Uh-huh, everything is ready and you are looking very handsome as always."
Rolling her eyes, Charlotte remarked, "Alright love birds, we know you are desperately in love so you don't have to flaunt it."
"Hey Char, thankyou for agreeing with us and keeping this a secret, it really means alot to both of us," Ava smiled.
"No biggie sweetheart, I wish you both all the best but for now, can we leave? There are important things I need to take care of once we reach there." Grabbing her mini camping bag, she walked out of the apartment without waiting for anyone.
"What important things? What was she talking about Cal?" Ava inquired.
Shrugging his shoulders, he answered, "I don't know honey."
….
Sebastian's Apartment.
Looking at the two sweaters which she had bought for Boji, Ellie sighed, "Seb, I cannot decide which one to pick."
"Just pick anyone you like El, I am sure boji will be okay with anything unless it keeps her warm," Sebastian answered before checking his coat pocket for the twentieth time. Earlier he was nervous about messing the whole proposal plan but now he was worried about losing the gift.
"It is very confusing, will you please help me choose a suitable one for her?" she requested.
Looking at the two sweaters, he said, "Take the pink one, it will look perfect on her."
"Alright, I think we have everything that Boji needs and we also have everything that we need, so we are good to go." Passing the bag to him, she inquired, "Did you check the gas and the windows?"
"I think I already did that."
Ellie sighed and helplessly shook her head. "You think? Well you do know that you 'THINK' isn't going to work right?" Without waiting for his reply, she added, "Just hold Boji, I'll go and cross check everything."
After Ellie left, Sebastian smiled at Boji and whispered, "Hey bud, the big day is coming and I am very excited and nervous."
