Page 1 - Let the Games Begin

CHARLIE'S POV

♪In the middle of the night, in my dreams

I know I'm gonna be with you

So I take my time

In the middle of the night

Baby, let the games begin

Let the games begin♪

Evening. 

Music blasting through the speakers at almost midnight. 

A girl prancing and dancing around her bedroom.

Not caring an inch about her surroundings. 

And yes, that's me. Charlie.

♪Let the games begin

Are you ready for it?♪

Opened curtains on a juliet type balcony. Clearly showcasing my amazing dance talent to the neighborhood. 

♪Baby, let the games begin

Let the games begin♪

Ghad, I'm in a good mood right now. It's really a good idea to play some music at this time.

Suddenly, my bedroom door was slammed open.

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed.

"Charlie, for god sake! Turn down the volume please," the boy complained.

♪Let the games begin

Are you ready for it?♪

"And why would I?" I asked while flipping my long dark hair, while casually sitting on the black faux fur bean bag.

"Can't you read time? It's almost midnight, the neighborhood is quiet except for your house, specifically your room."

The boy can't take it anymore. He took a long stride to my Bluetooth speaker and turned it off, making the night devoid of any noise.

"Hey! I was enjoying my time."

"Charlie, por favor. Enjoy your music on daytime, not on midnight. I was trying to sleep, so as the neighbors. I called you on your phone to ask you if you can turn off your music. However you didn't notice it, so I came barging on your front door with my spare key to personally turn off the bloody music." The boy breathlessly said.

"Are you done with your rant, mother? Go home already, you successfully cut off my ME time."

"Just go to sleep, okay? We have school tomorrow." 

"Duh, like hell I care."

Argh, this guy just doesn't fail on filling his role as a guardian.

"Please?" the boy pleads.

"Fine. Get the hell out already." 

Poor him, looking so stressed.

"Oh, by the way. When will Tita arrive from her business trip?"

"Weekend, maybe. Don't care, just peace."

The boy just defeatedly sighed. Good. That's the sign that this conversation is about to end.

"Whatever. Just go to sleep and be early tomorrow. Remember to set your alarm at seven. Class will start at eight-thirty."

"Fuck, if you want me to go to sleep, go home Gio." 

"Okay. Good night, char."

"Good morning, sweetie." I teasingly said in a sweet voice with a chef kiss.

Huh, literally in the middle of the night, another day of this game will begin.

Tbc.
