The Real Truth Of Charlotte Smith

Chapter 18:

"So that's what happened?" Aiden asked as he handed me water to drink.I nodded when he asked.I told him everything that psycho told me but of course I didn't tell him the part that he might be in danger.I didn't want him to panic and get worried.

"I'm not too sure if she knows that I'm staying with you at the moment but sooner or later she will find out.Before that  happens we need to figure out a way to stop her from her wrongdoings." Aiden agreed with what I said.

"You're right.She deserves to be put in jail for good.But there's something I've been curious about." He wondered.

"What is it that you are curious about?" I asked confused.

"Well we already know that she kills men.Especially around the age of 35-45 years old.But don't you find it a bit strange that she kills a man that was around that age? I mean, she could've killed guys around 18-20 years old but instead targets middle-aged men."

"I...I never thought of that actually.Whenever I had to bring middle aged men to my house, I just thought they were her type and nothing else." My eyes widened as I thought of something."Or.."

"Or what?" Aiden asked.

"This might sound a bit crazy but what if she saw all of those men as my dad? Like whenever she sees men around that age, she immediately sees them as my dad."

"But why would she kill them if she saw them as your dad? If she loved him, then she shouldn't want to kill him."

"Maybe that's how her desire to kill started.Maybe because my dad betrayed her with my mum,she thinks that all men who reminds her of my dad should just be dead.Even though she said she is still in love with him, she would kill him."

"If that's really the case then it means she likely has a mental illness."

"A mental illness?"

"Yeah,there's some cases where  people would see others that reminds them of their loved ones who are gone.In other words:dead." Aiden explained.

"So you are saying that she could have a mental illness.Now that you mention it, she does acts like a freaking psycho but I never thought she would have an illness."I said suprised.We sat there in awkward silence.Aiden spoke first.

"You must tired.I will go make dinner for us.Rest here for a bit." He says as he goes into the kitchen to make dinner.I'm glad I have a boyfriend who understands how I feel because I was really tired and stressed out.

*20 minutes later*

"Babe,dinner is ready!" Aiden called me to dinner. I blushed as he called me 'babe'since it was the first time he called me that but I tried to cover my face.I walked towards the dinner table with my face covered because I was in a blushing mess. Aiden noticed me covering my face.

"Charlotte? Why are you hiding your face?"He asked as he leaned closer to my face.

"Oh nothing in particular..haha.." I nevoursly laughed.Aiden suddenly tried to take my hands away from my face.

"Let me see your face!" Aiden said as he tried to take my hands away from my face.

"NO!STOP!"I tried to stop him but immediately failed.

"Hmmmm...you were blushing? Oh I know why! Is it becasue I called you 'babe' right?" He smirked.My face got even redder.Great,go me.I probably look like a tomato right now.

"W-w-what? Of course not!I-i mean you did call me 'babe' for the first time.But I wasn't blushing!I-i was feeling hot right now." Of course stupid old me just had to stutter.

"Gosh my girlfriend is so cute when she stutters.How did I end up with such an adorable girl?" He says as he pinches ny checks playfully.I moved his hands away from me.

"I'M NOT CUTE!Now if you excuse me, I'm going to have your delicious food." I said as I sat on the dinner table.

"How do you know if it's delicious when you haven't even tried it yet? Especially since this is the first time you tasted my cooking."

"Because it's made by my  boyfriend." I happily said as I started to eat.Aiden laughed at my comment and sat down opposite me.

"How is it? Does the cream pasta taste good?" Aiden asked being hopeful. I nodded while  smiling.

'This pasta is so delicious!I didn't know you were such a great cook! Why didn't you tell me?" I asked as I ate more of his tasty cream pasta.

"Well you never asked." Aiden replied. I laughed and we both continued to eat.After we finished we decided it was best to go to sleep since it was late.We both got changed into our pjs and went to his room.Aiden got inside the bed and pulled me with him.He then put the blanket over us and grabbed me by my waist to pull me closer to him.I placed my head on his chest.Aiden gave me a kiss on the head and rubbed my back at the same time.I felt very safe in his arms.

"Charlotte" Aiden whispered. I hummed in response."Why don't we..."

"run away?"
