Destinies Entwined

Chapter 11

Charlotte's pov

I was just finished spraying some perfume on me when my phone started ringing. I already knew who it was. I was dreading to go out with him. Just the thought of being alone with him had me shuddering. If he didn't do what he did back then in the past then I would have been so excited and happy to go out with him. But at the moment I just wanted to sit at home and watch suits. Deciding to just get done and over with this so called date, I went towards my phone and picked it up.

"I am waiting for you outside in the car."
He says and cuts the call before even waiting for an answer.

I took my sling bag and went downstairs. As soon as I stepped down both of my parents rushed towards me.

"Oh Lottie baby you look so beautiful!!!" My mother gushes while pulling me into a hug.

"Yes Lottie you look amazing"  my dad said.

"Well Adelrik is already waiting outside, so you should get going. Don't want him to wait now" says mother while walking me to the door.

"Have a wonderful night Lottie" both of them say.

I then opened the door and went to the driveway. As soon as I turned my head towards the left my heart started beating wildly. There he was standing in a very casual yet classy outfit besides his ferari. He was leaning on the passenger side gate while typing something furiously on his phone. He must have noticed someone's eyes on him, which made him look at me.

As cliche as it sounds, as soon as our eyes met everything seem to fade around me. Those bluish grey eyes which seem to have no end were staring intently at me. The eyes which I came to love were now looking at me with some wierd emotion which I coudn't decipher. Just after seconds of looking at each other I cleared my throat so as to bring him out of his thoughts.

"Oh well Thank you for greeting me with your presence after making me wait for 15 minutes." He said with a sarcastic tone. And just like that a scowl made an apperence on my face.

"Well it was you who wanted to meet me. So waiting for 15 mintutes shouldn't make any difference to you. And just for the record, all of those mistress' of yours must make you wait for hours to get ready." I said with a tone full of attitude. If this exact situation would have happened five years ago, I would have said a polite sorry to the one waiting for me and would have felt guilty. But then with time people also change. I don't feel an ounce of guilt for him.

He looked at me, surprised. Well I never expected this reaction to say the least. He just shook his head in what I thought was disbelief before opening the passenger side door for me  and gesturing for me to get in the car.

Now it was my turn to be surprised. Why was he acting like a fucking gentleman when he was far from being one. I let this act of his pass for now and went towards the gate to get in while muttering a 'thankyou' to him, to which he replied with a small smile. Well this was the first time after 5 years that he showed me his smile. Uptill this moment he used to always smirk but his smile was the most beautiful thing about him. I wanted to ask him what got his panties twisted and why the hell was he being so good with me, but I decided against it. He went around the car and came to sit beside me.

We started off towards the place where he was taking me. There was pin drop silence in the car. But what surprised me was that it wasn't awkward. This was a thing between both us when we were friends. We both could sit for hours without talking, in each other's arms, without it being awkward. Both lost in there own thoughts. The one to break these chains of thoughts was usually Adelrik. He would suddenly start tickling me or making weird faces and sounds to gain my attention. He was a big attention seeker. But what he didn't know was that all my thoughts revolved around him. I coudn't stop thinking about him. He always had my attention without even trying.
