Cause Of The Million Butterflies

ELENOR

His face painted with a solemn expression that began to fade the moment I spoke. Sebastian seems to have forgotten his role and my title as a 'young missus' of the Eaves.

"...if you don't like the idea, I'll have to call your father," he hesitated, "Will that do Young Miss?" He took out his phone and dialed someone, surely it's my father, updating him on how stubborn and obnoxious I am.

The phone rang loudly, allowing me to hear my father pick up the phone at any moment. He stood right in front of my eyes, from his head to his loafers, making me want to devour him. His glance darted across the room, and it wasn't until now that he realized he was the focus of attention.

It's amusing to see him panic, since he despises being watched by so many people; I love the idea of being the only one who sees him. I wish I could gouge their eyeballs out.

Minutes passed before the ringing stopped as replaced by my father's rambling. Sebastian looked at me briefly before stepping out. My gaze shifts to the crowd, and they quickly withdraw their attention when they realize how much I want to tear their eyes out.

They avert their gaze, as though they aren't interested in how this play ends. The drama that made me feel embarrassed, and Sebastian who made me think of it as a lesson. It never occurred to me that my father's nobody employee would make fun of me. Making fun of the Young Missus!

But I've forgiven him. How can I not forgive someone very precious. Though a bit of discipline would be wonderful but scaring a small puppy can cause them to flee. I don't like that.

After a few glares and silence, he walks back inside with his eyes full of disappointment. When he was ready to face me, he notices how people averted their attention "Young Miss..." Sebastian straightens his gaze towards mine — a gaze that made my stomach blossom with million butterflies. It was frustrating. "What did he say?" I cleared my throat before demanding for an answer, I felt my face burning and I had to turn away from him, "he said... to do as you please" twitching his mouth for God knows how badly he doesn't want to say it.

As soon as we hit the road I eagerly try on every piece of my new collection of jewels. Sebastian, meanwhile, was still in a daze, nevertheless trying to be somewhat pleased for me, despite being worried of how he'll handle Matthew; my father. Although the call ended with the me having my way, Sebastian probably was told to explain precisely why everything had turned out the way they did. After all Sebastian insisted on tagging me along to see if the size of the band fits me perfectly, only for me to choose a different one and buy more than what were supposed to bring home.

It was the first time Matthew had picked a gift for me, usually he would let me spend money however I like yet he still gets madly insane whenever the bank calls him out of concern of the amount I had spent, eventually he'd call Sebastian to his office and lash on him.

I wish he'd stop doing that.

His pitiful demeanor starting to kick in me, making me decide to put the jewel back inside its box shortly after making myself dazzle. Secretly I peeked at Sebastian while setting the jewelry back, seeing Sebastian wearing an anxious expression makes me regret my actions.

"...Don't be too worried, I'll explain everything to him" despite not being good at consoling people yet here I am trying to somewhat makes him better. I lower my tone, realizing I had caused another trouble for him. Matthew gave permission to put off the diamond ring for his lovely daughter, and yet who knew that this excellent daughter of his ended up wasting more money on expensive jewelries. Of course, everyone knows — Sebastian's just too naive.

Without turning his head directly to me, he assures me that my sympathy got through him. His lips gently curve in a smile, nevertheless he chooses not to relay on me, "It's all right Young Miss, I'll deal with this" sweet grin painted on his demeanor, not even me could resist "I'll take care of this for you" he added, all of Sebastian's unexpected and unaware romantic remarks tend to give me millions of butterflies in the pit of my stomach, my cheeks turning crimson, making every part of my face red.

Growing up I had a complete understanding of myself better than anyone, knowing what I like or dislike. However, I was oblivious of my own weakness until I met him. Sebastian's seductive smile, his heavenly and flawless face that makes others want to stuff him right into their pockets. That makes me want to squeeze him tight down to my pocket.

"I've told you not to give me those looks!" I yelled out unintentionally, that made him fright. He peeked on me through the mirror once more and witness how red I become "Young miss, are you alright? Your face is burning." He worriedly remarked. I know he said it out of concern and without the intention of mocking me, yet the feeling of being played is beyond me, instantly I began kicking his seat, "Young Miss that was dangerous!" Sebastian almost screamed. He gripped the steering wheel tightly in attempt to avoid an accident. "Then don't say anything stupid!"

"What did I do?" he tilted his head, confused as to what he could have done wrong "I just thought you might have caught a cold" he added, his voice smitten to my ears. Feeling shameful enough I remain silent rather than argue the whole journey. I fear that one of our employees may be possessed by a demon without his own knowledge.

How I hope he'll soon take notice of that.

Admitting to myself how deeply in love I am with him was easy, and annoying how I know very little about him, one of which is that he works for Matthew. Three months since I first met him at Matthew's office, despite being forced to do so, Matthew introduced him to me. Instantly I was smitten. I want him always by my side, knowing well the world we're leaving are different and impossible. Still, I am not entirely against dating him... secretly. A maiden who is madly in love would never dare go against that idea. Who wouldn't want to date Sebastian?

A charming man. Absolutely stunning. Dead heavenly gorgeous!

His muscles make every girl's back tingle and their toes curl, and no matter how hard he tried to hide them behind those dummy shirts, it was impossible not to notice. I, at the very least couldn't help but notice. Although, he acts prim and proper most of the time, he can be very timidly boring and annoying. However, it was captivating and appealing to me. I just like him way too much.
