The Badboy Diaries

The black book

Charlie's POV:

I opened my eyes when I heard my mother yell from down stairs. I lifted my body up slowly and held my head. It literally felt like I was under a moving train. I picked up my phone and it read 18:00 pm. Did I really sleep for that long?

"Charlotte! Could you please get the door for me?!"

I stood up and slipped my feet into my shoes. I made my way down stairs. I finally reached the door and there stood a man that was maybe in his early twenties. He was quite cute.

"Um... Hello. Can I help you?"

"Hi there. I am just coming over to each house down the road to introduce myself. I'm Ryan and I moved into the house down the road."

"Oh! Well it is certainly a pleasure to meet you Ryan. My name is Charlotte, but you can call me Charlie." I said while shaking his hand that was surprisingly so soft!

I know it is wrong of me to think an older guy is hot and having a tiny crush. But he is so cute and friendly! Who could not like him? Shit, starting to like men again...

"Do you want to come in?"

"I would love to."

He stepped in and I just stared after him. I felt a tiny blush creep on my face as I watched his muscular figure step into my home. At that time, my mother stepped out of the kitchen and smiled at our visitor.

"Good day, madam. I am Ryan."

"Oh! Hello dear. I'm Isabelle. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'll go fetch some drinks." And she turned on her heel.

I led him to the living room and my mother stepped in with cool drink. We all took a glass.

"Thank you madam. So Charlie..... I assume you go to Elestur High?"

"Yes I do."

"I have a brother going there, but I doubt you'll know him."

"Maybe I know do."

Well if his brother is as hot as he is, I wouldn't mind getting to know him.

"Jaun Harcliff. Maybe you should get to know him"

"Wha?" I almost felt like choking. How can he be related to that jerk? Ryan is so sweet, but Juan is an ass. I am so totally not going to get to know him!

"Is something wrong Charlotte?" My mother finally asked.

"Oh! Nothing at all." I said while waving my hands in front of my face.

He looked at me confused for a moment, but then that beautiful smile appeared on his face again.

"So Jaun darling. Where do you work?" My mother spoke up and took a sip of her drink.

I didn't even bother listen to their conversation any further. Sometimes I don't understand my mother. It was just yesterday when I found her crying on the couch. It was just yesterday my father left. It was just yesterday she had a black eye. Well she still has it, but covered it up with make-up. She acts like nothing happened, mean time everything happened.

"Isn't that lovely, Dear?" my mother suddenly asked.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at my mother confused.

"What is?"

"Didn't you listen to a word we said? He's our guest. You should pay attention to what he is saying" my mother said with a finger in the air.

"No madam. It is fine. But I do hope I can take Charlie out for coffee sometime" Ryan said while standing up from the couch. "Of course you can dear...-" my mother said while while taking the empty glasses to the kitchen.
