Here we are.
After weeks of trying I finally got to hang out with Charlotte.
Seeing a familiar face after days feels so nice.
I'm not gonna lie when I'm back home I get so excited to be in my own space and sleep in my own bed, but I miss having someone around and I can't ask my brother to hang out every night here when he has a lovely girlfriend to hang out with.I don't know why I got so hurt that Charlotte got so distant with me but she is really my comfort person and seeing her avoiding me but hanging out with others hurts me even if they all are my friends.
"Oh cmon let me help." I say after staring at her 2 minutes straight.
She is really beautiful and what makes her even more attractive is the fact that she doesn't even know.
I get to hang out with a lot of women and no, not in hotels beds but in events that I'm obligated to attend and every one of them have this type of behaviour that seems like nobody is better than them in every aspect and the lack of humble... it's not for me.Charlotte comes from a very wealthy family but she never shows off her things. She lives a really simple life.
"Did you hear me?" he asks waving a hand close to my face, to wake me from my thoughts.
"What?" I ask.
"You can peal the potatoes." she says giggling, while her bracelets are swinging and making sounds while she's cutting the chicken.
"Peeling potatoes? Really?" I ask getting closer to her.
"For my own safety I think it's better give you the peeling part while I will do the cooking part."she says while she bites her lip trying not to laugh.
"Oh c'mon! You really don't trust me?" I ask and then it comes out her laugh. That beautiful spontaneous laugh.
"I'm sorry but you can't even cook pasta well. I'll not let you touch the spices." she says.
She furrows her forehead.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asks since I'm keep staring at her with a smile on my face.
"I remember that time that Leo kid in 5th grade made fun of your laugh and you didn't laugh for 2 weeks straight." I say and I see sadness take over her whole face.
"Yeah I'm still not liking my laugh, even after this many years." she says looking down at the cut board.
I get closer. So close that my chest is touching her shoulder.
I place my right hand on her back and I stroke it up and down her back almost like to reassure her.
"Char it even sounds better after all these years." I say and she looks up at me with her eyes filled of tears and my heart stops.Oh shit. No.
"Oh no, no, no!" I say taking her face right in my hands and wiping the tears right after the fall out.
"I didn't mean to make you cry." I say already heartbroken.
"That fucking guy... if I could talk to him now." I say clenching my teeth, so mad that a nasty comment is still getting to her head.
"Calm down Charles." She says letting go the knife and placing her hands on my wrists.
"I shouldn't have reminded you that comment, I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I'm really an idiot, I-" I keep saying but as stops me "I'm not crying for that dumby. I'm crying for the onions!" she says laughing.
I look down while a good feeling of warmth takes place on my chest seeing the onions.
I wipe other few tears while she keeps laughing.
"You almost made me have an heart attack." I say keep holding her face.
Her beautiful face. Still wondering how she's still single. Even if Thomas is getting a bit insistent with her.
"Don't be this exaggerate!" She says placing her hand on my hip.
"Come here, I need a hug." I say pulling her to me.
Her scent... God I could fall asleep so easily even after a quality day with this scent with me.
"You're so down for hugs today huh?" she asks hugging me back.
"Mmm-mmm" I say agreeing with my eyes closed and still hugged to her.We eat and we plan what to move what to buy for my new apartment and after we lay on the couch and she picks Smallville.
I hug her and I make her rest her head on my shoulder while I touch her hair gently. I used to touch her hair even in high school school when she was sitting in front of me, I always was laid with my had on my arm and with my fingers I used to touch her ends and twirling them around my index. At the end of the classes she always found her ends styled like by a Dyson.He phone buzzes on her lap and when she pics up to look at it she doesn't even hide it and I clicks it right in front of me.
It's Thom asking her if she would be at the gym tomorrow morning.
He even put a yellow heart.
Oh God Thom, I have some lessons to give you.She answers a simple question "yes at 10:00" with a white heart.
"Don't you have class tomorrow?" I ask.
"Nope it got cancelled." she says looking up at me finding myself too dangerously close to her lips.
"Then I'll come to do finally we can train together." I say.
"Yeah of course." she says smiling at me but I know well that she's now getting paranoid about Thomas reaction tomorrow.
She looks again at her phone and my chest clenches at the thought of another message.
Why the hell I'm getting this protective over her?
Thomas always liked her but she never gave him a chance, so why give it now?"I think it's time to go back home." she says after looking at how late it got.
I nod and I stand up and handing her my hand to help herself to stand up.She's healing pretty well and I think it's also Thomas credit.
We drive to her house gossiping a bit about our friend group.
"Then... see you tomorrow morning?" she asks unbuckling the belt.
"Yes, I'll come get you at nine. Is it okay?" I ask and I see her eyes get wider.
"Thomas usually comes to pick me up." she says and right after she bites softly her lip.
"Than he would not bother letting me pick you up once, right?" I ask smiling at her.
She rolls her eyes smiling.
"I'll tell him that I'll get by my own." she says.
"Tell him what ever, I'll be here at nine o clock." I say leaning over for a half hug.
I inhale her scent for the last time for tonight and I leave her a little kiss over her jaw and when I lean back her pretty eyes are covered by shock.
I giggle, seeing her expression and before I can mocks her she's already out.
She still didn't changed at all.
