I was starting to pack my clothes as tomorrow I'm going back to my place. I haven't told this to anyone but I love living here with Charles, waking up to see his face and having breakfast together. Joking around, watching movies cuddling inside the blanket. I am going to miss it. He's been the best in this last 3 weeks. After the nightmare, yes it was just one, things have changed. Charles and I are closer and more connected than ever. We didn't know about the nightmare because Charles and I always slept together and I slept peacefully next to him but apparently that night after the fight I slept alone and all those horrible memories came back. But now everything is settling back to its place. I know it will never be normal like it used to be as the scars are reminder of that but I have learn to overcome the fears and insecurities.
As I had no work today so I left the office early. I texted Charles that I am leaving early in return he replied that he would take me somewhere and asked me to be ready by 7.
It's just 5 o'clock, I have ample time left so I decided to pack. My phone started vibrating as I rummage around my dresses to find my phone.
"Got it" I answered my phone.
"Miss stranger" Freya speak as soon as I answered
"I just talked to you 2 hours ago" I roll my eyes
"2 hours. 120 mins that is 7200 seconds" she said making me laugh.
"I miss you too" I put my bag aside to make place so that I can sit.
"What you doing?" she asked
"About to get ready. Charles is taking me somewhere"
"So did he tell you?" She asked
"Tell me what?" I asked confused
"Oh um I mean. Did he tell you that umm, Aaron is going to take me to his parents' house" she chuckled softly at the end.
"That's very nice Fre, but why would Charles tell me that?" Still not convinced with her
"You know boys talk, hahaha"
"Uhh, yeah" I decided not to press too much. I might be overthinking
"Okay I gotta go. Nurse Job"
"Yeah I too have to get ready" I said
"You wear that white little dress" with that she ended the call, typical Freya behavior.
I looked for the white dress she was talking about. It was a sweetheart shaped neckline, strapless dress that reaches my mid-thigh.
I quickly took shower. I did a little make-up and used curl iron to wave my hair.
Putting on some perfume I stood in front of the mirror. The dress perfectly hugged my body and it's looking good on me. I put on my nude color heels. I checked the time when I was done getting ready. 6:52.
I grab my purse putting in some cash, lip gloss, credit card. Walking towards the bed stand I grab my phone when my eyes landed on a photo frame. It was the picture we clicked in Bahamas. I was sitting on his lap and we were laughing about something.
"That's is my favorite photo of us" a voice made me jump in surprise.
"You scared me" I put my hand on my chest
"Sorry" Charles snake his hands around me giving me a lingering kiss.
"Mhmmm I missed you" he rested his head against mine.
"I missed you too"
"Let's go" he grab my hand as we walked downstairs.
Getting inside his car, we drove off.
