Give it a try

Chapter Twelve.

Charlotte's Pov

I was finally at the airport. The traffic was awful, and now my head is hurting.
I saw that there were many people gathered in the airport. I thought something must've happened and went to check on it and found it was none other than Engfa.
She was surrounded by her fans, who were asking for her photos and autographs. I looked at her for a good minute, admiring how beautiful she was. She didn't ignore even one fan and was trying her best to make everyone's day. I saw the old Engfa that time. The Engfa that made all the people around her happy.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when someone suddenly grabbed my wrist.
I didn't know them, but they were all over me. There were many people who were screaming my name and were continuously taking my pictures.
I panicked, and my anxiety kicked in.
My heart beat was rising, and I was having trouble breathing.
I begged them to stay calm, but they were just screaming more.
I was surrounded by total strangers who were yelling my name, and I was panicking.
I felt my knees go weak, and I was about to fall when someone grabbed me.
I knew that it was her because my body was not shaking anymore. I felt much safer by her side.

"Sorry guys, she is not feeling well. You guys need to back up. Please," she requested, and they went back.
I could still feel the numerous flash of the cameras. I hugged Engfa tightly as I was scared. She hugged me back, making herself like a shield and covering me.
"You are safe," she whispered in my ears. "Thank you," were the only words I could say. Soon, the security team arrived and took us to our flight.
She helped me get sitted on the plane.
"Are you okay ?" She asked me, worried.
I nodded. She sat beside me and held my hands, making me feel calm and safe.
"You should probably get used to it now," she said.
"Nope, that's it. I am not making public appearances again," I told her.

"That's not gonna work because you are already trending," she said, showing me her phone.
There were so many edits of me all over social media. People were making edits of me, coming out of the car, and while I walked inside the building yesterday.
I looked like a character of a movie.
"Wow ! Well, that's something new," I said as I was scrolling down.
I noticed that she had liked every video of me.
"You were looking at this the whole night ?" I asked her. She smiled and then nodded.
"Why ?" I asked her.
"Cuz you are hard to resist, Austin. I tried to sleep, but the videos of you just were so good that I couldn't. You are so beautiful," she said, tucking my hair behind my ear.
That made me blush hard. I was as red as tomato.
We have known each other for so long, and yet why are we acting like a new couple ??

Engfa's Pov

She was all red. I really missed those shy looks of hers.
I felt very sleepy while she was scrolling down, so I closed my eyes.
I don't know if it was muscle memory or what, but I naturally rested my head on her shoulder. She looked at me but didn't budge. In fact, she pulled me closer. I fell asleep as soon as I got comfortable.
I woke up when she shook me.
"We're here," she told me. I woke up and yawned, making her laugh.
Gosh, how I've missed that laughter of her.
We came out of the aeroplane and saw that the security team was already there. There were so many people outside that they had to call a whole army of bodyguards for us.
They helped us reach the car without any harm.
Many people were chasing our car, and Charlotte didn't like that.
I feel bad for all the celebrities because, I do know how bad being famous can be.
Suddenly, I got a call from Nudee.
"The hotel is too full of your fans, and it is seriously dangerous for you guys to stay there. I have booked another hotel for you guys, go there instead !!," Nudee informed us. She sent us an address, and we drove there.
The hotel was good. It was not a big one but looked comfy.
We went to the reception for our booking. They handed us one key and apologised because they only had one room available. We agreed, and they took us to our room.
"Have a good day, ma'am," the staff said, opening the door and then going away.
We entered the room and saw that there was only one bed.
Charlotte looked at me the moment she stepped inside.
"There is only one bed. What should we do?" She asked, confused.
"Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa," I said. Well, this was very awkward because we were acting like strangers.
We unpacked out stuffs and I called Nudee to tell what happened, but she just laughed and hung up the phone.
Soon, the room service came, and we had our brunch.
We had hot chocolates, croissants, and many more. They were all very tasty.
The tension between us was just growing. Both of us didn't know how to start a conversation, so we stayed quiet for a very long time.

Isn't it crazy that we were dating a few years ago, and now we both are acting like strangers ??
"We should go to a club near this hotel," she suggested, breaking this awful silence.
I agreed. We both decided to stay undercover.  She went to the bathroom to get ready while I was in the room.
She stepped out while wearing a black dress. Her cleavage and curves were looking so damn good in that dress.
I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She truly looked mesmerising. I was so lost in her that I didn't even realise when she came so close to me.
"Looking handsome," she said, looking at me from head to toe. I was dressed up in a normal suit. I wore a creamy white shirt and black pants to go with it.
It was pretty basic, though.

The moment I walked out, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was looking so hot just standing there. She was in a suit. She could just end me with one look. She fixed her hair, and damn, I was weak on my knees. I just wanted all of her to myself. I didn't even want to go to the club anymore. Instead, we could catch up on things that we missed..
