Paradise Lover's (Marlie Fanfic)

Chapter 8: Is he going to?

As me and Charlie are walking on the warm sand together we begin to get to know each other.

"So umm... that girl back there--

"What about her?"

"Is she your girlfriend?"
I ask'

"WHOAAA.... No, that's​ my sister"

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry I thought, ya know-- im just-- ughh... I'm so stupid!"

"It's ok, we all make mistakes"
Charlie chuckles'

"So what made you come to Cancun?"
He asks as he changes the subject'

"My family dragged me here. Like I told you before, I don't wanna be here"

"Why?"
He frowns at my response'

"Because, my plan for this summer was to hang out with my best friend Emmy. We were going to do everything this summer! But now we can't because I'm stuck here in stupid Cancun!"

"Hey, it won't be that bad. Well that's if you don't spend your summer with me"
He grins'

"And why would I spend the summer with you"
I giggle'

"I don't know? I'll just make you feel at home"

"Feel at home? Nantucket is nothing like this crusty place!"

"Wow... You really do hate it here!"
Charlie says scratching his head'

"YEP! I fucking hate it"

"You've only been here for one day, it could get better!"

"Probably not..."

"Hey, how about we be like Cancun friends?"
Charlie suggests'

"Sorry... Someone already has that place, and trust me she's ANNOYING!"

"well I can take her place if you like, I can make your summer way better than she can!"

"Oh really? Can you?"
I giggle hysterically'

"Mhmm..."

"Listen I can't even take you seriously in those pink shorts of yours, so how can you be my friend and make my summer good??"

"I can always take them off..."
He mumbled'

I suddenly stop my laughing, we both stare at each other as we both get silent....
~~

"Ya know what, I have to go."
I say quickly'

"Why? Is it because of what I said?"

"No, no, it's just that I umm-- really need to get back to my uhh drink-- I mean umm friend"
I say stumbling over my words'

"Ah, I see... But your drink is in your hand.

I look down in my left hand, and yes! He was right I did have my drink with me...
Shit..... I suck at lying.

"Well I still need to get back to my friend"

"Let me walk you"

"No, it's fine i can walk myself"

"But I WANT to walk you"
He says smiling'
~~

I stop and give him another solid stare....
I don't say anything, all I do is turn my back to him and walk quickly away.

I turn my head and look back at him, he was still standing in the same spot as I left him.

He was looking at me.... With a slight small smirk on his plump lips.
