charlotte's point of view

i stood in front of christopher with my arms crossed as he tried to come up with an excuse as to why i wasn't informed of our second mission.

my only mission when i flew here was to protect some old man and his daughter at a fundraising and kill anyone who got in my way. i had no second mission of tracking down richard.

i rubbed my temples. "for a spy, you really don't know how to lie."

"i'm not lying!" he exclaimed. "i swear, dad said he would tell you about it and i got distracted so i never got around it."

i sighed. "distracted with what? or, with who?"

he pressed his lips together. "i won't answer any more questions without my lawyer."

i glared at him for a couple of seconds before we both bursted out laughing.

"chris... can i tell you something without your dad finding out?"

"uh oh." he sat up. "what is it? is this about the guy you met? is he nice? does he treat you well? can't have my lil cousin running off with some thug."

i laughed. "kind of? i mean, i'm pretty sure he's out to kill me, but he's just so hot."

"is it the guy you were basically dry humping last night?"

i groaned. "please don't start."

he chuckled. "love you too, char."

i sighed and poured myself a cup of coffee before my phone started vibrating. i found three new messages from richard, one of them was from last night. i took a sip of the coffee and placed my mug down to answer him.

call me when you get to your hotel
so i know you're safe
are you okay baby?
i'm getting worried

i'm fine i totally
forgot to answer last night
i'm so sorry, can i invite you out
tonight to make up for last
night?

are you asking me out on a date?
i still don't know your name

it's not a date dork
it's charlotte by the way :)

i'll pick you up at 1pm

"oh, no." i glanced at the clock on the stove, it was 11:30am already. "why are men like this? beauty takes time!"

"you're already beautiful, lil sis! unless you're going out with that guy from last night, in that case you shouldn't go at all!"

i giggled. "nice try, chris. i need to gain his trust if i want to find out anything about him."

i want to do this the old fashioned way. it was like any other mission, except i have no idea what i'm getting myself into and will have to trust my gut.
