Bad for my heart

Chapter 26.

Charlotte's POV.

Layla video called me and she kept talking on and on about how much she missed me but I couldn't help but think about the owner of the phone I found in the car.

After I watched the CCTV footage yesterday at the stranger's house, he gave me a ride home but I accidently took his phone with me.

"Charlotte." Layla shouted and I snapped out of my thoughts. "Wow."

"What happened?" I questioned.

"I know I'm not that pretty so why are you staring at me?" She asked.

"You are way beautiful than you think but I am just tired." I answered with a smile.

"So you telling me you were staring at me with a smile because you tired?" I nod my head. "Charlotte Carson, tell me who is making you smile."

"You." I replied.

"If you not going to be honest than I'll just tell your brother one little lie so he can find out the truth for me." She said.

"You are blackmailing me." I looked at her angry.

"I'm going to start dialing Benjamin's number if you don't start talking best friend." She warned me.

"Fine." I gave up. "Layla I'm just thinking about that stranger. He annoys me a lot but his cute. He got green eyes and whenever he smiles, it feels different."

"No Charlotte. It doesn't feel different, it feels the same Charlotte. You are definitely not going to get yourself hurt. So please don't date again Charlotte. I don't want you to get hurt."

"Layla please don't worry about me. I can take care of myself." I smiled at her. She's so sweet, Carlos doesn't deserve her. I wish I had the guts to tell her about him cheating on her. I can never see her hurt

"I know." She started. "But that is why I'm scared you will get hurt. Charlotte when you met Damien, you told me you wouldn't fall in love and you will always see him as a hot asshole, but you fell in love. And after he broke up with you, last year, you ended up in a hospital." She continued. "And now you are thinking about that stranger, I know you will get hurt. You are too good for all of them Charlotte. Now tell me where does this stranger work and his name?"

"He looks rich to me but I don't know where he works." I replied.

"And his name?" She questioned.

"It's umm." I bit my lip, trying to think of a name. "Layla, you won't be able to pronounce it."

"Just say the name." She snapped.

"You know, it's...I love you." I hang up before she could say anything. I can't believe I slept at his house and I don't even know his name.

"Beth." I shouted, going downstairs. "Can I please get the car keys, I'm sure dad won't mind."

"Your father said you not allowed to drive any of his cars."

"Please beth. Please don't let me go on my knee." I begged and she nod her head. "I knew you love me." She quickly gave me the car keys and I kissed her.

I left the house in a hurry and got in my car. I know he helped me a lot but I can't trust him. Damien used to be as sweet as him and he turned out to be evil. I am sure this man is just like him.

If I didn't have a sweet bother, I would say all men are the same, trash. But I can't because there are good people out there, just not for me.

I arrived at his house. I quickly took a deep breath before ringing the door bell.

A women opened the door for me and she looked at me with a fake smile.
