SOULS INTERTWINED

Chapter-9

Cassandra's POV

I suddenly felt very dizzy, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the surroundings were unfamiliar, and it looked like a hospital. When I got up from my bed, I saw Charlotte sleeping on the couch, and all I could do was smile at how cute she looked. I pulled my phone and clicked a few pictures of her. I was thinking of what had happened, and I remember feeling dizzy, and I was about to fall when some strong arms held me tight, and I felt some comfort and soothing in those arms as of they wanted to protect me. As I was thinking, I suddenly saw Charlotte walk towards me, and she came close to me and hugged me very tightly.

Charlotte: "Betty, how are you feeling, babe?"

Cassandra: "better than ever" I winked

Charlotte: "you scared me today; I was scared when Ed told me you were in the hospital."

Ed? William is the one who got me here that means the arms I felt were Williams, this man is making me go crazy, in the morning, he was so sweet to me and took excellent care of me, and by evening he was ignoring me as if I don't exist. I was honestly hurt that he did not talk to me, but it's the first time I'm feeling like this; I have never felt bad cause someone ignored me; why does he have such a massive impact on me? God, this man...

Charlotte: "betty, betty, betty."

Cassandra: "yes, Char."

Charlotte: "come back to earth babe, I did not tell Haley and Arthur cause I know they will panic but now that ur fine, do u want to get home."

Cassandra: " aww, Char thanks for not telling them; they would be a mess and yes, let's get going now."

Charlotte informed the nurse, and we completed our formalities

Cassandra: "Char, how much was the bill? I'll transfer the cash over to you."

Charlotte: "I did not pay betty."

Cassandra: "then who paid?"

Charlotte: "Ed did if you want to pay, talk to him about it."

This man has made his way into my life again, and he keeps on coming and going as if I'm some mall. I don't know why I feel very protected around him, but my inner voice keeps telling me not to fall for a man again cause I was hurt very bad in the past. The other day in the garden, I loved the way he treated me, all the men I had previously in my life haven't even done a part of it for me, but this guy was nice to me and showed me I'm capable of being loved. It's just been a few days since he came into my life and has stirred something in me that no one ever did could before. William was always a nice guy in school, too, but it looks like he changed to become a strong-headed, egoistic, playboy billionaire, but the kindness is still embedded in his heart. I could feel he does not want people to see him as a weak person who needs to be loved, but he is hurting himself in this process. I hope he could meet a girl he could cherish, and I'm a hundred per cent sure that girl will be the luckiest in the world to get a guy who is so caring and affectionate.

Charlotte: "why do you keep on zoning out, Betty?"

Cassandra: "nothing, Char."

Charlotte: "whatever you say."

Cassandra: "char, could you take me to 25th Avenue? I wanna check out my commercial space."

Charlotte: "for sure, betty."

We arrived at the spot, and I saw a lovely beige Mediterranean building with the name Crawford engraved on marble on the side. Charlotte and I went inside and checked out the space.

Cassandra: "char, I think I should make this into my studio and start selling the products I developed in college over here. It's a perfect location, babe; it's very classy and elegant."

Charlotte: "you should, and your products are exquisite, so I'm pretty sure people would flock into the store to grab whatever they find."

Cassandra: "you funny sometimes, char" I laughed out loud

Charlotte: "no, Betty, I love the products you and developed; I'm so damn sure you will become one of the most famous designers in the world with a few years, babe. You have both the talent and mind to make it big," she said seriously and was very confident.

Cassandra: "aww, that's soo sweet, babe" I hug her

We left the store and headed home to find Charles and Arthur, who had just come home from karting, and it looks like Haley went out for some shopping.

Cassandra: "Arthur, tomorrow, let's go check out schools for you."

Arthur: "No, I want to travel with Charles."

Cassandra: "are you out of your mind?"

Charles: "No, Cassandra, the thing is I love your brother and his company, so I offered him a job as my manager while I'm going out around the world racing."

Cassandra: "no, Charles, he needs to study."

Charles: "he could probably take one year off, Cassandra, not more."

Charlotte: "yes, betty, it will be good for him."

Cassandra: "okay then, but promise next year you are going to school."

Arthur: "for sure, sis."

Charles and Arthur jump in joy and hug. I did not expect both of them to get this close in such a short span, but it's okay. I trust Charles and Charlotte will be travelling with him, so it's okay. I also wanted Artie to see the world, so I was comfortable letting him have a gap year to learn about the real world.

Cassandra: "guys, get ready, so let's have dinner out tonight; I have good news to share too."

Charles: "what's it?"

Cassandra: "it's a surprise."

I called Haley and informed her that Daniel was with her, so I invited him over the same call. I called William, but he did not pick up, but then I texted him.

Good evening William,

Thanks for your help today, and I have some good news to share tonight, so I am treating everyone for dinner at maze cafe at eight tonight.

I hope you can come cause it would mean a lot to me.

-Cassandra Crawford

Would he come, or he does not care about me as much as I care about him? Probably it's my fault to expect too much from him; he was helping me the other day, it means nothing to him, and why would he care about me? I am not so attractive like his daily conquests, and I also have a terrible history. What do I even have in me that will get him attracted to me? It's okay, Betty; you will also find someone who will cherish you someday, and you are probably not his type, so it's okay if he ignores you. But again, why can't we be friends? I like his company, but he has been missing, which is making me feel very sad. Ahhhhh, this man is making me go crazy as minutes pass by.
