"Come sit Belle," I nodded walking to sit beside him on the two-seater love seat. "You're don't look happy, I fucked up this the date, didn't I?" He growls pissed at himself. "No no this is wonderful" I tried to smile but I couldn't,Charles weighing heavily on my mind, "what's wrong belle?" I'm ruining our date with thoughts of Charles, I need to tell him and get it off my chest. "William" I took the pizza from him, placing it on the center table so I could grab hold of his hands. I turned slightly so I was facing him, his beautiful green eyes stared down at me in confusion and a small spark of fear. "What's going on Lizzy?" "No! Please don't stop calling me Belle" I sighed, I was being pathetic, he nods. "Charles likes me" I blurted out, he pulls his hands away from mine in shock, "what?!" "Yes he asked me out and I went only so I could tell him off but he didn't take it well" I ramble trying to save my face. "You're the reason, my brother has being sulking in his room all week, enough for my parents to worry?" he accused and stands up putting some space between us. I did not see this coming, it's not like I did anything wrong why is he acting like this?. "William, it's not my fault I don't like him back" I frowned, "would you give him a chance if I wasn't in the picture?" He asked, the love for his family so evident in his eyes. You have sacrificed too much Will I won't let you sacrifice your happiness. "No I won't, so throw that idea out of the window" I also stood. "We can't do this Lizzy I'm sorry, I will drop you home" he walks out of the house, "what?!" A tear rolls down my cheeks. "Okay then" I shrugged grabbing my small purse from the chair, William was waiting in the car. "Lizzy?" "Just drive" I snapped looking out the window. Fuck you Charles! You always had to have everything and fuck you William for being so fucking selfless. This, as crazy as it may sound just made me like him more but that doesn't mean I'm not hurt. His choosing his family over me and it freaking hurts. I don't spare William a single glance till we reached my house. "Lizzy you have to understand his my brother and...." He starts to say but I shut the door in his face walking towards the gate. Charles is 26 years old, his not a child, maybe William really doesn't like me and he was looking for an avenue to leave. Claire once again opened the door.
"Please heat me up some dinner" I sighed taking a seat at the dinning. "Yes ma'am," she smiles before walking into the kitchen. All I really wanted was to go to my room and cry. This was suppose to be our first date, how long and how many obstacles do we have to face to be together? I'm losing my patience and they're plenty other fishes in the river, William better gets his shit together fast.
Third person POV
William walks into his parents house that late night, he needed to talk to Charles. "Will it's late" Diana who was watching tv calls out,stunned to see her elder brother around this time of the night. "I'll only be a minute" he placed a kiss on her head before jogging up his parents stairway. Charles room was across his old one, William had being trying to get him to move out and start his life. Too anxious to knock, Will just bursts through the door instantly regretting it when a high pitched scream of a woman meets his ears. His having sex and I let Lizzy slip from my hands for him William thought, clenching his fists in annoyance. "Bro, what the fuck?!" Charles groaned slipping on his boxers, Yvonne quickly wears her clothes and hurries out. She was an up coming actress which Charles promised to make famous in exchange for sex. "You bring your women to our parents house?" "Just because you don't know how to have fun doesn't mean I don't" Charles laughs. I spent all my life working and this piece of ungrateful shit is telling me I don't know how to have fun. "We need to talk" William finds a spot on the couch that wasn't covered in clothes. "Those stupid maids" Charles grumbles like the spoilt brat he was, pushing the clothes to the floor and sitting beside William. "What's up?" "It's about Elizabeth Morgan," William spits out not one to sugarcoat things. "How did you know?" Charles stutters, turning pale. He hadn't told anyone the name of the girl who broke his heart, the first time he was willing to have a real relationship the girl doesn't like him back. "She told me" William sighs, "oh! Why?" Charles cocks a brow up stunned, Lizzy told him. "She likes me Charles and to be honest I like her too" William sighs, rubbing his chin in frustration. "What!" Charles stands up baffled, "keep your voice down!" "I won't, you can't fucking date her man, bro code". "You seem to have gotten over her" William says referring to Yvonne, "why are you here exactly?" Charles frowns. "To tell you I'm going to date her, before you have to find out from someone else". "You can't do that," "why? Because I'm the only one in this family that has to make sacrifices!" William yells forgetting about his sleeping parents. "Will calm down" Charles knew his brother had given up his whole life for their family and he greatly respected that. "Okay you have my support but please try not to rub her in my face" Charles groans with a small smile, "thanks bro" William hugs him. "I haven't seen you this happy since Charlotte?" "Lizzy is an amazing woman and I may have just screwed it up" William groans covering his face with his hands. "What did you do?" Charles asked sitting back on the couch beside him and William narrates the whole ordeal that happened earlier. "God! It's my fault," Charles looks away pissed at himself for taking the one good thing from his brothers life. "No don't blame yourself, I was the one decided to choose family over her" Will sighs remembering Lizzy's broken face. "What are you going to do?" "I don't know, but atleast I have one more day to come up with a plan before I see her on Monday". "Why wait till Monday? Go to her house tomorrow" Charles frowns, he was beginning to ship them both. "Her parents don't know about us," "because of the age gap?" "No we aren't an item yet, so what will she introduce me as?" "Good point, but seriously how do Lizzy feel about the age gap?" "She's okay with it". "Good but are you sure she knows your real age" Charles teases, "yes why won't she?" William rolls his eyes. "Well you look like a 22 years old newly graduate not a 29 years old business man". "She didn't believe I was 29 years old" William laughs, "can you blame her? You lack facial hair" Charles chuckles, rubbing his smooth face for emphasis. "I remember when we were younger and people used to think I was the oldest" he smiles so fondly, no knew how much he adored his elder brother. "I like my face being smooth" William fake pouts, but seriousness was laced in his words, he really wasn't a fan of scratchy facial hair. "I think you should get going now before it gets too late," Charles looks up at the wall clock hung on his wall. William nods pulling him into a hug. "Thank you for accepting this," "you have done everything for us Will this is the least I can do" Charles smiles hugging him back. William stood up making his way out of the room, he stared at pictures of his childhood and his way down. Diana was asleep now with the tv still on. He shakes his head in amusement at his little sister's antics before walking out of the house. He made his way to his car with only one thought in his head, please forgive me Belle.
♥️♥️♥️♥️Atleast Charles is a good brother.
