Bumping Accident | Englot

Chapter 32

Engfa's POV

"Engfa," I hear Charlotte's voice calling my name, but I’m too exhausted to respond.

"I think there's someone in your house," she says, sounding frightened.

I groan and open my eyes. Peaceful sleep always seems out of reach. I glance at Charlotte, and the first thing I notice are the red marks on her neck. Memories of last night flood back, and a smile spreads across my face.

"Pay attention," Charlotte snaps her fingers in front of me.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"I think there's someone in your house. I heard the door opening."

"How did they close the door?" I ask.

"What?"

"Did you hear how the person closed the front door?"

"Oh, um, it was loud. It felt like a bang," she replies.

"I swear, if she's here about the monkey again, I will lose it," I roll my eyes and mutter.

Before Charlotte can respond, we hear footsteps, and then the doorknob to my bedroom turning. Charlotte quickly grabs the sheets and wraps them around her naked body. I hadn’t even realized she was naked.

The door doesn't open, though.

"I locked it last night when I went to the bathroom. Everyone has keys to this house," I smile at Charlotte and say.

She hits my shoulder in disbelief and rolls her eyes.

"Engfa, why is your door locked? You never lock it," I hear Chompu’s voice from behind the door.

"What do you want, Chompu?"

"Open the door. I need to talk to you."

I groan and start towards the door, but Charlotte quickly grabs my hand.

"Are you planning on opening the door naked?" she asks, eyeing me from head to toe.

"Stop looking at me like that," I say, turning away to hide my blush.

"Nothing I haven't already seen," she replies with a mischievous grin.

Ignoring her, I quickly grab the nearest shirt and shorts. I open the door just enough for Chompu to see me.

"What can I do for you?" I ask.

"Why was your door locked?"

"You have ten seconds to speak before I kick you out," I respond, ignoring her question.

"Okay, okay, calm down. So, I asked Tina, our very amazing lawyer friend, and she said I can have a monkey and that it's legal."

"Not this again, Chompu. I am not getting you a monkey, and I’m most definitely sure Tina didn’t say that."

She whines like a child and pouts at me.

"Fine, she said it’s illegal, but we can still get one. Not everything has to be legal, right?"

"Chompu, why do you even want a monkey?" I ask.

"I don’t know, they look cute," she shrugs. Before I can respond, she points at my neck.

"What's that?"

"What's what?" I ask, touching my neck.

"That red spot by your collarbone and neck. Is that a hickey?" she asks, surprised.

"N-no, of course not," I answer nervously.

Chompu stands on her tiptoes and tries to look into the room. On cue, Charlotte shuffles around on the bed. I know Chompu can't see her, but she definitely heard the noise.
