06 Good Stranger

"I think I got it" The Mr. Furious said.

But here I m, as clueless as before. Someone please care to explain me where this 'Get to the Point' session has gone?

Everyone looked at me. Did I just say it loud?

No expression from Mr. Furious. Sheepish smile from Charlotte. And Ethan is somehow dense.

"What?" I asked them.

"So, she is definitely not the one I told you on call Zacky." Charlotte said to Mr. Furious.

"Someone please explain the situation here!" I said it loud to get attention of these cartoons in the room. Again everyone looked at me.

"Actually, I kinda forgot that you helped me last night and seeing you in bedroom smiling at me – it gave me some bad idea. So I called Zacky to tell about this intruder or kidnapper thing." Charlotte said sheepishly.

"Me!! Kidnapper?" I asked her feeling offended.

She noticed my expression and came to me.

"Sorry I m extremely sorry for my quick baseless judgments. But I have no one in my house except these two guys here." She apologized for n-th time since this morning.

"Why on the earth people get drunk and why forget everything they do in that drunken state?" I asked more like to myself.

"But you don't need to let a stranger sleep in your home. How can you be so careless Zee?" He was scolding Charlotte as if I was not there. This man does know what was he saying, doesn't he?

I accept the fact that I am a stranger, but I am a good stranger you know? I helped the girl and didn't harm her, right?

"Hey! I am definitely a stranger to you guys and, and I didn't plan to stay here all night. But your friend here Ms. Drunken Charlotte had other plans..." Charlotte looked at me pleadingly not to mention anything about her 'love story'.

"She wanted someone to be with her and......" I suck at lying.

"...and she was scared. You know the mood of a drunk person."

"Yes!!" I just came out of my mouth because I successfully avoided the part of Charlotte's hidden love. Everyone looked at me confused.

Why do I have to be so excited?? Stupid Jiyana. I just get carried away that I get a point to them the reason behind my stay here.

"Yes... That was the reason" This time normally.

"She was crying at one moment and laughing at other. So I thought it would be best to stay with her." I explain further.

"Now you can take your leave. We appreciate that you helped her." Mr. Furious said it rudely. He could just have said Simple Thank You.

Anyways, I also have to go to explore this city. I need to get acquainted with the place. I turned to Charlotte to say goodbye who was looking at me guilty eyes. I instantly know the reason.

"It's okay Charlotte. It happens sometime. But please get drunk when you have company of some trusted people. I didn't get time, but you have a pretty name like some princess and you definitely look like one." I held her hand and squeezed it. My complement brought smile to her pretty face.

"No, you are not going anywhere." Charlotte said as if we are just casual friends and she doesn't want me to go early. I can't get it what is with this girl.

"I mean not before lunch with us" She cleared it seeing my confused and surprised expression. I chuckled in response but I just can't go with them.

"I think ... no it's perfectly fine. It is not needed actually." I refused her offer.

"No you really took good care of me. Let me do this for you, please" She pleaded with puppy dog eyes. I hesitantly nodded. She jumped out in excitement and hugged me. She isn't five, right?

Wow

Hey wattpaders!!

Again the Formal introduction didn't get completed here.

According to Jiyana Mr. Furious has some doubts about her sleeping in Charlotte's home. But she doesn't mind it until and unless someone decides to bring the topic about her reliability.

Let's see how long this meeting lasts?
