"Jess!"
"How dare you, Charly?"
"Open the door! "
He's getting on my nerves. How could he invite him? He doesn't even have him number. Even I don't have it. Oh shit, my phone...he must have sent him a message on Messenger while I was locked in the room. Well, it's not so bad, after all. Besides, I'm tired of running away from my problems. Seth and I have a lot to talk about. This is the perfect opportunity. So I turn the handle. But as soon as his face appears, I freeze again. Like an idiot! It's okay, shut your mouth!
"Nice welcome. I should have thought twice before accepting."
"Sorry...I..."
He smiles. He's not angry. Of course he isn't! This man is too perfect to get angry. He even bought flowers.
"Here, they are for you."
"Thank you, you didn't have to."
"Be careful, I might take them back."
"No, they're mine!"
Does he like to tease me? It's the first time I've received such beautiful flowers, I intend to keep them. I wouldn't even let Charly near them. But they need a vase. They shouldn't wilt and they smell so good. Ah, I could admire them all day. What beautiful white tulips.
"I love them. Nowadays, everyone gives roses."
"Roses?! It's so... impersonal."
He whispered that last word in my ear, making the skin on my neck quiver. My body screams at me to get away but it's too late. I can smell his scent... bewitching. It's a good thing I'm dark-skinned, or I'd be blushing. Seth doesn't leave me indifferent. He knows it! I can tell by his little smile.
"So, shall we eat?"
He enters and I close the door. Maybe the evening won't be as awkward as I thought. Maybe he'll understand, on his own, that I don't want to talk about yesterday's events so we can have a nice dinner. In any case, the atmosphere is great. Everyone is in a good mood and ready to have a good time. What could go wrong? Everything, that's the problem.
"Charly, right? Nice to meet you."
"The super sexy teacher, right?"
I elbow him. Even though I would have liked to punch him in the stomach. I get a glare but he deserved it. This evening must not be embarrassing. Make an effort, damn it! I wait to see Seth's reaction, but he just laughs like it's the funniest joke in the world.
"Oh, you're exaggerating a bit, Charly. I might get a big head."
"That wouldn't be the only thing "big" about you..."
Second blow, this time to the stomach. But that's not enough to shut him up. He's putting me to shame right now.
"Anyway, Seth, you can tie me to the ceiling any time you want."
