🥀 Roses and Novels - Sebastian Sallow - Ominis Gaunt (Hogwarts Legacy Fanfic)

🥀 - Chapter 63 - 🌹

(Helena perspective)
Ominis left the house, and I turned to Anne. ''What should I do?'' I asked her.
''Follow your heart, dear; you are the only one who can make this choice'' she gently smiled.

I looked at Sebastian and said, ''What about you?'' He crossed his arms, ''It's not fair to ask me that, because I'm one of the two choices.'' and he sat down in his chair to eat his bacon.

I sat down next to him on a chair. ''Please tell me what you're thinking right now.. It's important to me.'' He took another bite and said with his mouth full, ''You know what I think about all this..'' He took a bite of his sandwich as he looked down at his plate.

I grabbed his chin and lifted it up to look at me. ''Not enough.. Tell me!'' I asked him.

His brows narrowed down as his eyes lifted to mine. He just stared without saying a thing, without making a noise or sound. His eyes darted over my face, from my left to my right eye. Across my freckles, my nose, my cheeks, and my lips. Down to my cheekbones, my throat, my necklace, and my chest and heart.

That was moving so fast that i was scared it was going to burst out of my body.

His eyes went to mine again as he said, ''Break up.''

And he grabbed my wrist with his hand and pushed it back as he stood up.
He went to the living room to grab something, and I quickly hurried after him, ''Tell me why!? I need you to tell me in my face'' i asked him.

He stood on his toes to reach something on top of the cabinet and turned to me as he gave me a small black box ''Open it!'' he said. I took the box with both my hands and opened it slowly.

Inside was that beautifull black onyx ring we saw at Keenbridge.

He pointed to the ring in the box. ''That's all I want, sweetheart. I don't need anything else; you are enough for me to be happy. So yeah, call me selfish, but it's my turn to fight for what I want after all the things I've been through,. That ring can be yours someday; it can be yours tomorrow, in a week, in a year, in 10... I really don't care when you're going to ask for it''

My eyes darted from the ring to Sebastian and back to the ring. ''Are you sure you want me?''

He sighed, stepped closer to me, and took me by my waist. ''I Love you, Helena Fig Ambrose. It's no science what I feel for you. I know you have some serious trust issues, especially after that stunt Ominis pulled last night. But I promise you, with our hands on my heart..''

And he pushed both of our hands to his heart. ''That I want you to be mine. I'm that fairy tale prince you're dreaming of. I'll give you that small house by the sea, with sunflowers and peonies. Beautiful and smart children and late-night talks in the garden. You just need to have faith in me, butterfly. Stay with me. I won't let you down again.''

I looked at Anne, who stood next to us with tears in her eyes as well, and she scowled, ''Sebastian, you stupid romantics. You make me cry too'' We all laughed.

And i looked at Sebastian with a gentle smile. ''Tell you what, Sallow, today.. Tonight.. Our date will be about our new storybook.'' He gently smiled back. ''That's a promise, Fig; let's start over.''

And we took each other in an embrace, and Anne joined us in a group hug.

I nervously stepped through the gate of Gaunt Manor to look for Ominis.

I had to do this today.. Before my date with Sebastian, Before we would start over after everything.

He wasn't in the study, living room, bar, kitchen, dining room, front yard, or backyard. I searched in his room, in my and sebastians room.. But he wasn't there either. There was one place left where he could be.. So i went to the Rosarium.
