Ophélie

Part 4

CHARLES POV

I climb into bed and sigh. This is not the way I wanted this to happen.

Did I catch her off guard?

She asked me to kiss her again, but what if she changes her mind?

I can't lose her because of something so stupid.

Ophèlie is my entire world.

I shake my head, I need to sleep.

I lay down and close my eyes. Suddenly I hear my phone vibrate, I reach over and check it.

It's a text from Ophèlie:

                                                   "Stop overthinking,

                                                    We will talk tomorrow.

                                                    Sweet dreams Charlsie♡"

I smile. This is why I love her. She knows me so well.

I text back: 

                                                  "You too belle ♡"

(Belle = beautiful)

I put the phone on the nightstand and rolled over.

"Je vais épouser cette fille un jour." I mumble to myself.

(Je vais épouser cette fille un jour. = I will marry this girl one day.)

OPHÈLIE POV

The next morning I wake up before my wake-up call.

I lay in bed, thinking back to last night.

I sigh happily.

I've always loved Charles.

But I've watched him, date girl, after girl, none of them working out.

I never understood why it never worked out, especially with his most recent ex, Charlotte.

I smile. I always did my best to hide any potential romantic feelings for Charles. I was determined to keep our work relationship professional, and our friendship strong.

"Well, now I can show him how I really feel," I mutter to myself.

I jump when my hotel phone rings, signaling the wake-up call I requested.

I pick it up and put it down, and then I pick up my cell phone.

I'm about to dial Charles when a text from him pops up, my breath catches in my throat.

                                                  "Bonjour ma belle Ophy-fille ♡

                                                    Do you want to get breakfast before we head to the track?"

(Bonjour ma belle Ophy-fille - Good morning my beautiful Ophy-girl.)

I grin and quickly text back:

                                                    "Bonjour ma magnifique Charlsie♡

                                                      I'd love to. Give me 20 minutes.
