charlotte's point of view

i was woken up by christopher when we were about to land in california. i rubbed my eyes and looked out the window to see the houses and buildings quickly become bigger as the airplane flew downwards. i stared in awe and took my phone out to take a picture. i pouted as i realized i had turned it off, i couldn't get my picture in time.

"i took one." christopher said. "i'll send it to you, so you can post it."

i smiled and hugged him before getting off the jet. my phone turned on as i was walking down the stairs and it started vibrating like crazy. i took it out once i reached the ground, and i found a couple of texts from both liz and richard. i opened richard's text first.

i don't even know your name,
yet you're flirting with me?
at least buy me dinner first

did you buy me dinner before
i grinded on your thigh at the club?

his response came almost instantly, like he had been waiting for me to reply.

touché

what was i supposed to reply now? do i leave him on read, do i want to keep the conversation going? what kinda question is that, of course i want the conversation to keep going. i texted him for a reason.

dinner sounds good though
i'm going to take you up on
that dinner offer 😛

very funny, but i'm pretty
sure i said that you should take
me out and not the other way around

shame this little dinner date
will have to wait, i'm not in miami :(

where are you?

california, my cousin and i are
visiting my grandma we just
arrived

what a luck, i'm actually about to
board a plane to cali
my friend is getting married

i didn't know which lie looked more fake, his or mine. at least i was really with my cousin, he just flat out lied about still being in miami because i literally just saw him sitting in starbucks with a delicious mocha frappuccino in hand.

i smiled at christopher as i asked him for $20 so i could buy starbucks. he murmured something about me using him for his money, but he gave me the bill anyways. i took my backpack and walked up to starbucks. the line was sort of long, but i wanted him to think i discovered him and i also craved a caramel frappuccino with extra caramel and chocolate chips.

i took my phone out as i remembered that i forgot to reply to him.

i don't know about
you, but it smells like
destiny wants us together

i ordered my frappuccino and paid for his as i saw from the corner of my eye when he read my message. i could almost swear i saw the ghost of a smile on his lips, but he got up and left before i could analyze it.
