Chapter 208 - Vacation

While Sebastian and Samuel were having their conversation, Calvin and Noah were hanging their own private talk.

After making sure Sebastian was busy and not looking at them, Calvin frowned, "Dude, what the hell are you trying to do?" 

"Nothing, what did I do?" Noah gave him a shrug and was about to watch out when Calvin grabbed his arm. 

"You promised that you won't tell but—" 

Cutting him off, Noah snapped, "I promised you both not to tell Seb about it and I didn't." 

"But—" 

"But what? I am helping the two of you and here you are accusing me? Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep this away from Seb? And just to let you know, it is one hundred times difficult for Ellie. I don't understand what you guys are trying to do? I mean what good will hiding your relationship from Seb bring?" Noah snapped. 

"I don't know, we are just waiting for the right time." 

Knocking his forehead, Noah scoffed, "That right time is never going to come." 

"Hey, don't say that. It's not like I am enjoying hiding this from Seb, okay? He is my friend too and it's not cool hiding it from him," Cavin retorted. 

Helplessly shaking his head, Noah sighed and walked away without saying anything. 

…..

Kitchen. 

"El, I already told mom everything about you and Seb," Melissa chuckled. 

"Yeah she did and I cannot believe it, I mean I didn't know our Seb was that romantic," Rosy chuckled. 

Not knowing what to say when Ellie hesitated for a while, Melisa wrapped her arms around her shoulder and chuckled, "You don't have to feel so shy, you can talk about anything with mom." 

"Mel is right, I know I am a bit old to be your friend but you can treat me as one if you want to," Rosy chuckled. 

"Old? What are you talking about mom? You look so young," Melissa stated. 

Pinching her nose, Rosy sighed, "This girls keep flattering me." 

"I am just stating the fact mom." 

Looking at Rosy and Melissa, Ellie smiled, it was so evident that they share a very close relationship. Seeing them like this, she couldn't help but wonder if someday she would share such a kind of relationship with Sebastian's mother. Well, she could only dream about it for now. 

"Alright, why don't you girls go outside and ask everyone to sit on the dining table, the food is ready," Rosy informed. 

"El, you help mom and I'll go call everyone." 

After Melissa left, Rosy smiled at Ellie. "I can see that you and Seb are getting along quite well." 

"Yeah, he is very sweet and caring," she answered. 

Helplessly shaking her head, Rosy chuckled, "It's so shocking seeing him like this." Without waiting for her reply, she continued, "You know there was a time when Sam and I were so worried about Sebastian, we knew that Ava and Noah would do okay because they already had a really jolly and open personality since they were young but Seb, he was very different. We always thought that it will be very difficult for him to open up and to be with someone but then now he has you and we are so happy for you both." Patting her head she smiled, "It feels so great seeing you both happy." 

"Seb also talks about you and uncle Sam a lot, he really cares about you both," Ellie added. 

Taking the chicken out of the microwave, Rosy chuckled, "That boy has always been like that, sweet and caring. Okay, we have all night to talk but first let's fill our empty voids, okay? I am sure you kids might be starving." 

….

Outside. 

Dinner table. 

Taking a bite of the scallops, Ava groaned, "This is awesome aunt, I missed you cooking so much." 

"If you miss it so much then you are supposed to visit me often," Rosy remarked. 

Licking her fingers, Ava grunted, "Pardon me for my bad table habits but this food is too delicious to be not eaten with my hands." 

"Aunt Rebecca would have killed you if she had seen this," Noah chuckled before licking his fingers. 

"She is never satisfied with anything that I do so why bother?" Ava scoffed.

"Alright, now let's not go that way." Pausing for a while Samuel inquired, "So why don't you kids tell me about your vacation plans?" 

"What plans?" 

"Hmm honey, did you forget about our Hawaii plan?" Noah reminded Melissa. 

"Ahh the plan which we had to postpone," Melissa exclaimed. 

"Hawaii, that is a really beautiful place and we also have a beach house there so you kids will have no problem," Samuel explained. 

Looking at Sebastian, Calvin inquired, "Dude, don't you have a beach house there as well?" 

Sebastian nodded his head and answered, "Yes but it's still under construction." 

"Really? I thought it was already done." Without waiting for anyone's reply, Ava continued, "Anyway, we gotta plan it out and go there soon. It's been so many days since I took a really nice holiday." 

"You should stop talking about holidays Ava, you are joining the office from next month," Sebastian stated. 

Puffing her cheeks, she complained, "Not next month, after the vacation." 

"Weren't you supposed to join last month?" Noah inquired. 

Before Ava could say anything, Sebastian answered, "That is true but she didn't because no one was there to accompany Charlotte back then but things are different now, you have to start working and pay your own bills." 

"How can you both bully me this way? That is so mean and—" 

Cutting her off, Noah sighed, "We are just teaching you how to become more responsible." 

"Ava, your brother's are right, I think it's time for you to make use of the degree that you have and you will be working for your own company, it's gonna be great." Looking at Sebastian and Noah, Samuel added, "But she can join after the vacation right? It's her company too so shouldn't she have a few privileges?" 

Helplessly shaking his head, Sebastian sighed, "You spoil her way too much uncle Sam." 

"Why not? She is the only daughter in the family, she was born to be spoiled," Samuel stated. 

When Ava grinned at her brothers, Sebastian remarked, "You can't escape this after we come back from the vacation." 

"Alright big bossy brother," Ava chuckled. 

Leaning towards Ellie, Ssbastian whispered, "You wanna go to Hawaii honey?" 

"Uh huh, I love beaches," she answered. 

"Okay then, we can go there." 

…..

After having dinner, Sebastian took Ellie to show her around while Noah and Melissa alone with Samuel and Calvin decided to take a walk in the yard along with Bojo and Boji. 

Passing her the plate, Rosy inquired, "So are you telling your aunt about it or not?" 

"About what?" 

"You can Calvin." 

Awkwardly clearing her throat, Ava let out a nervous chuckle, "W-What about us?" 

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Rosy chuckled, "Remember how you and Calvin used to tease each other all the time and call out each other with names. You both used to fight over food too." Looking at Ava, she continued, "And now that same guy who used to eat your food is placing his share on your plate while you are doing the same." 

Placing the plate down, Ava helplessly shook her head, "Why are you so observant? It's so difficult to hide anything from you." 

Knocking her forehead, Rosy chuckled, "Then why do you even try?" 

"We are dating for months now but Seb doesn't know about it so you can't tell him," Ava explained. 

"Ah this is great news, why are you hiding this from your brother?" Rosy inquired. 

"I don't know, I just feel that she won't take it well."

"Well, there is a small chance of him overreacting but I am sure he will be just fine." Piling up the plates, Rosy chuckled, "I don't know how Seb will react but I am very sure that Rebecca is going to have a heart attack." 

Groaning in frustration, Ava exclaimed, "Why aunt Rosy, why? Why do you have to talk about my mother? I just ate so much and her name is making me feel so bloated." 

"I heard they are coming back next month." 

"I know, Seb had a talk with mom last week and she told him that," Ava sighed.

Patting her cheek, Rosy smiled, "Don't make that face now, maybe Rebecca will understand you both and accept your choice willingly." 

"Yeah and the day that will happen will also be called the doomsday." 

….

Sebastian's parent's mansion. 

Standing outside the door, Sebastian kissed the back of her hand and smiled, "So this is where Ava and I grew up. Though it wasn't a really warm childhood, it is still special." 

Tightening her grip around his hand, she hesitated for a while before saying, "Do you think it's okay for me to go inside?" 

Tucking a lock of her behind her ear, he frowned, "Why not? You don't want to?"
