MAGIC|18+

Chapter 26

Charlotte's POV

With sun beaming on my skin I feel at ease for the first time in a week, I haven't heard from Magic, not once since arriving in Bali so I'm getting a little worried so most of the time I try distract myself to stop myself from worrying. I've been swimming in the pool, playing chess, doing puzzles and learning new recipes and lets just say baking is not my thing, I can't do anything right. I either burn it or mess up the recipe somehow, even though it's right there in front of me.

My phone chimes beside my leg, I pick it up finally opening my eyes to be met with the bright sun, I use my hand to shade my eyes from the sun and read the text, it's not Magic like I hoped. It's that Agent Woods, she's been messaging me for about a week asking for anymore information which I don't have. I hear a yawn becoming louder and look towards the sliding doors, Nick stretches his arms out and sighs when he steps out in the sun.

"Good nap?", I ask shoving my phone under my thigh. 

"Splendid", he smirks. 

I chuckle relaxing back on the lounge chair, "Have you heard from Magic?", I ask as he sits on the lounge chair beside me. 

"No", he says and when I look at him his eyes are focused on the view ahead, his words didn't sound convincing at all. I wonder if Magic told him not to tell me and I wonder why, my first thought is what if something went wrong. 

"Wow, it's almost like that sounded convincing", sarcasm laced through my words. I lean back against the lounger and close my eyes again, letting the sun soak into my protected skin. 

"Don't worry about it, Charlotte", He sighs. He hasn't been the best person to be around. It's like he hates sitting waiting, it's an itch he can't scratch and it's written all over his face. I hate being here too and not knowing what's going on. 

"Nick", one of the guys says nodding his head inside to talk in private. I'm sure I've heard Nick call him Arlo. I clearly haven't met every single man that words for Magic.

I watch as Nick walks inside, I sit up wondering why they're so secretive. I stand up and poke my head through the opened sliding doors to see them walking off to the left to where the gym is. When they disappear down the hall I tiptoe following behind them. They walk into the gym and they begin talking, their voiced are muffled as I make my way down the hall but the closer I get the more clear their voices become. 

"I had a phone call from Magic, he asked me to lock the place down. He did catch Vlad but Vlad indicated that it was a distraction. He says he's on his way but we have to protect her with everything we have"

Nick sighs, "Anything else, does he need me back in New York to watch over Vlad...maybe put a bullet through his head"

"No, he informed me that you have to stay close to her. He needs you here. Hugo, Carter and Joel and some other have surrounded where Vlad is, he's short handed since he has men looking into the Izzy chick" Silence bounces off the walls before Arlo begins talking again, "I don't see why he's even looking into this Izzy chick, he already got into Charlotte's pants so why is he making a big deal about it.

I feel my stomach drop, "Yeah, well he did say she was easy but it's Magic's orders we have to follow them", I wonder what else he said about me?

"Why doesn't he just hand Charlotte over, she's just a chick. He handed over Freya so what's the difference?", What? Whose Freya? Hand me over? Is that what they all think?

"Are you fucking deluded? Don't question Magic's orders, that's not why we're her. Don't talk about Freya, we were told specifically to never speak of her name again", I can hear Nick's anger rising. I desperately want to shout who is Freya but I've learned from my action to keep my trap shut.
