Aria's point of view
I got a part time job at the coffee shop and there is this one regular that always comes in when I'm working... He's kinda creepy...
"Done with work for the day..." As I look outside I see the creepy regular that has been coming in recently and I start to worry, but I head out anyways.
Seeing that the creepy customer is still following me I take a detour to a corner store and head inside, looking and my inkphone.
"Ugh... I don't have any contacts that could help..."
I then remember that I have Charles' number and take the slip of paper out, dialing it and calling him.
Charles point of view
I have been waiting for Aria to call ever since I gave her my number but she hasn't yet, it is disappointing really, but I have been occupying myself with turf wars.
"Hey Charles, we should go participate in a turf war!" Amelia called out before running over to me, we are standing in the lobby at the moment.
"That sounds like fun! I'll go grab Troy and you can get Lina, we'll all be on the same team." I smiled at Amelia before going to grab Troy, who was hastling some girls like he always does.
The battle was 30 seconds away from being over and we were winning when someone called me and I ran out, hopping it was Aria. I could tell everyone was frusterated but this is important to me
"Um, hi Charles, it's Aria..."
"Hey! What's up?"
"A lot of things at the moment actually... C-can you come to Calamari Goods? Uh, there is this one creepy guy that's been following me home and he won't leave..."
"What? I'll be there in 5 minutes."
I was seriously concerned. How the hell did she get herself into this mess? It's horrible. I run out as fast as I can as Troy and the others call for me, reaching the corner store in 4 minutes and walking in.
Aria's point of View
I was so relieved when he walked in and kind of surprised.
"How'd you get yourself into this mess? And how long have you been waiting here?" He sounded so concerned for me, it kinda felt weird
"He just started coming in and became a regular... And then today I saw him waiting outside of the coffee shop and was a little concerned... And he followed me... I've been here for about 25 minutes now..."
"25 minutes?! Why didn't you call sooner?!"
"I didn't actually think that you would come so I thought I would wait it out and eventually he'd leave but he didn't... And yeah..."
Charles stared at me for a moment and smiled
"I gotta plan, just play along with it."
He went and bought some ice cream, then put an arm around me and went outside, the creep looked really confused.
"Hey Aria, I love you."
And then he kissed me.
The creep looked flustered and walked off and I was relieved and confused, my cheeks felt like they were burning so I must've been blushing and Charles smiled down at me
"Why are you blushing so much?"
He looked curious
"Wait, was this your first kiss?"
"Ah, y-yes... But it's not like I like you, I'm just embarrassed is all!"
