Talia (Completed)

Dinner with Zarena

As we sat down to diner, maids came in with varieties of dishes. From cheese boards, to beautifully decorated fruit plates. I watched in amazement as tray after tray finally filled the table.

"Talia" Zarena caught my attention.

"Yes" I smiled.

"How long have you been staying with my brother?" She asked, glancing at him. I looked over to him and he gave me a nod of his head. I took this as a sign to tell her the truth.

"Just the last two nights. Why you ask?"

"Just curious..." She replied, looking at Charles for a longer time than before. I gave a cough and we went back to eating. Time passed as they made small talk and we silently ate our food. A few more minutes passed before we stood up and we said goodbye to Zarena at the door.

"It was wonderful meeting you Talia!" She exclaimed, pulling me in for a hug.

"You too Zarena" I said cheerily.

She gave Charles a quick hug and with that she left. I watched as the car pulled away and I smiled up at Charles. I walked back in and made my way to my room. I entered and just went to shower. After a few minutes in the shower, I heard my bedroom door open and close.

"Talia?" Charles called out.

"What do you want?" I shouted back, giggling a bit.

"I was wondering if we could have quick word" I heard him pacing my room.

"Sure, throw me a towel"

I saw the door to the bathroom open as I jumped behind it. A hand appeared with a towel. I reached for the towel as I was dropped and Charles garbbed my wrist, making me gasp.

"Let go Charles!" I giggled.

I leant down and grabbed the towel with my other hand and managed to wrap it around my body. I started to wiggle my hand more before he shoved the door open and pulled me out. He pulled me into his grip as I made an attempt to wiggle out of it. He smiled as he slowly lowered his hands from me. I adjusted my towel, a few last giggles escaping.

"What do you need to talk about?"

"Nothing too much really. Just wondering what you wanted for tonight?"

"I don't have a preference on food"

"Well, how about. We talk about your arrangements on living place and what not. And hoping it goes well ... We go out for dinner"

I smiled at the thought of us eating at some terrible burger place.

"Yeah, that sounds nice!" I smiled brighter.

He gave me a quick kiss on my head and left.
