Chapter 26

What does he expect me to do when I see him?! and why the fuck did I agree to let him stay with me?! What the hell is wrong with me... He said he'll text me when he lands so I'm gonna have to pick up him up too... Fuck. My apartment is a mess anyways, and I'm not even going to mention my bathroom. There are brown hair dye spots from when I dyed my friend hair and she flicked her hair around. This is what I get for being so nice. I look around my kitchen and pick up the dirty dishes and put them in the dish washer. Then I throw away my trash, pick up the towels and clothes my bedroom floor and throw them into the laundry room. I quickly make my own bed. I look at the clock and its 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I got to the guestroom and put some sheets on the mattress and make the bed. By the time I was done I got a text from Charles.

*Just landed, waiting in airport...*

Then a second one came in.

*I'm just going to take an Uber. What's your address...* I texted him back with my address and threw my phone onto the couch. Lunch already passed and I bet Charles was hungry so I start to make a small lunch for him.

Charles' P.O.V.

When the Uber arrived I tell him the address and he puts it in his GPS. The ride there wasn't so bad, if the butterflies in my stomach weren't there... I'm so nervous to see her. I haven't stopped thinking about her since she left. I've even tried going on a date but I just couldn't connect to this random girl. She looked like Ana, but they had way two different personality's. I tried to pay attention to her talking but her voice was so squeaky I just couldn't take it anymore. I eventually left her, telling her that I had a family emergency. But when I got home I just stared at Ana's picture on the wall...

The Uber driver snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked out of the window to see that we were here. I pad the driver and took my luggage out of the trunk and looked at the huge building in front of me. When I walked into the lobby I was greeted my many people... The lobby was amazing, everything looked so modern. eventually found the elevator and went up to the 42nd floor. When I saw the doors open I went to Ana's apartment. Her door had her last name plated under the peephole. I could hear muffled music behind the door. I knocked on the door a few times and I hear the music being turned down.

"Who is it?" She yells but her voice is so soft behind this door.

"Charles!" I yell back. I hear the door unlock and when she opens it her towel wrapped body is revealed.

"Sorry, I just got out of the shower" She opened the door all the way and I walked in setting my bag down.

"Wow, nice place..." I say in awe. Everything is black and white with accent pieces of turquoise.

"Thanks! The guest room is over there, and there is some broccoli stir fry on the stove if you want any, just make yourself at home and I will be right back." She walks back into her room, her feet make tiny water puddles every step she takes. When she shuts the door behind her I pick my bag back up and take it to the guest room. The room is decorated like rest if the apartment. I hear her door open again and I take my shoes off by the bed and walk back to the living room. She's dressed differently, I've never really seen her in shorts. Everything else she wore was either a skirt or a dress. It's weird to see her so casual...

"I have to stop by work and pick up some stuff, you mind tagging along?: She asks while gathering a few things around the living room.

"I don't mind at all" I say.

"Great, well then we are leaving in 5 minutes, I need to grab a few things" She walks back into her room and then I hear some rustling from her room. So I decided to sit down until she's done. She's not really good at finding things, Ha. I hear a giant crash and then a moment of silence then a shout. "FUCK!" Ana runs out of the room and I stand up immediately.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit." She says over and over. She turns on her sink and I see red stained water going down her white sink.

"What happened?" I ask while standing behind her while she dries her hands and the cut.

"I broke my vase and tried to pick up a piece and I got cut." She says and takes a box of Band-Aids out of the cabinet.

"Is it deep?" I ask and she shakes her head. Good.

"Okay" She turns around and jumps a bit and slowly moves out of the way to get her shoes. "Lets go I'll clean up the glass later." She puts her shoes on and I grab my camera and phone and go back to the bedroom to put my shoes on.

Ana's P.O.V

My hand kind of stings from the cut when I put the car in park.

"Okay, I just have to go by my desk, then my boss' office" I look at Charles and he nods.

I get out of the car and Charles follows behind me. When I step inside I am greeted by everyone I pass.

"Someone's popular" Charles whispers in my ear and I look up at him and he smiles.

When I pass the kitchen I see my group of friends and when Quinta sees me she runs up to me, takes my hand, and runs back to the group so Charles is just standing like an idiot...

"Who is that?" Quinta asks and takes a sip of her coffee.

"New boy toy?" Josh blurts out.

"No, and it's Charles..." I say

"Wait." Quinta looks at him and back at me. "The one that you left Florida because?" She asks.

"Yea..." I say and twiddle my fingers behind my back and rock back and fourth on the balls of my feet.

"Why is here?" Meredith asks.

"I'll text you guys later about it" I say and walk about to Charles and start walking again and he follows.

"What was that all about?" He asks.

"They were just asking about you" I look up at him and smile.

I finally get to my desk and grab a few papers from a drawer and sign something.

"You can sit down while I go run this up to my boss" He nods and sits down in my office chair. I run up the stairs and go to her office. I open the door and her chair is turned towards the window.

"Rebecca, I told you I'm doing this anymore, this is the last time." I slam the papers down on her desk and open the door to leave.

"I know" She says before I close the door behind me. She turns around in her chair and looks at me. But I ignore her and leave. I start to go downstairs and I pull my phone out. When I get back to my desk Charles is on his phone.

"You ready?" I ask and he stands up and we leave.
