He asked me, still his puppy eyes on but his pouting lips gone.
I melted. Literally. Melted inside.
I took the little card in the bouquet and opened it :
"𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚"
I looked up at him with frowned eyebrows "Oh wow, that was... Powerful" I said, kidding and he chuckled "Hey, I never said it was a poetry. I wanted to say sorry and as you're tired of hearing it from my mouth, I wrote it down" he said and I chuckled.
"And I used my prettiest writing!" he said, proud of himself and I laughed. "You lit up my day, Charlie" I began "Thank you" I added.
He smiled "Stop you're gonna make me blush" he said, imitating a girl and I laughed even more. "Well, I'm gonna ask Talia to find me some water for the flowers or they're gonna die" I said "Like my relationship" I added.
Charlie looked up at me with big eyes and a little smile "You broke up with him?" he asked, a little bit of excitement sounding his voice.
I gasped "Is that happiness that I see through your eyes?" I asked, surprised by his reaction. "No no" he cleared his throat "I mean, I'm so sorry for you" he corrected, trying to look sad.
I chuckled "No need to be sorry for me, I had gone to him to actually break up with him but he stole the words from my mouth" I said and he nodded.
"Sooooooooo" he began, taking a step closer "Does it mean you can sleep with me now?" he asked, looking down like if he was shy to ask me this.
I gasped "No way! I'm maybe single but I'm not on the market" I said and he frowned "Oh come on! How are you gonna do when you'll be horny?" he asked and I gasped again "I've already been single before Charlie" I said, like if it was obvious.
It was obvious tho.
He rolled his eyes "I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend, i'm just proposing you to be my friend with benefits, that's all..." he said and I rolled my eyes again.
"No means no, Charlie" I said and he pouted his lips "Sex friends maybe?" he asked again "That's the same thing!" I said, half chuckling.
"One night then"
"No"
"One day?"
"No"
"One hour?!"
"No"
"ONE MINUTE!"
"'NO!"
"Urgh, okay" he then said and crossed his arms right after.
He didn't say a word, he just stared at the wall behind me.
"Are you pouting?" I asked, tilting my head to the side and he shook his head "Nope, I'm mad at you" he said before turning around. I sighed, crossing my arms and watching him leaving.
I'm not gonna lie, I might have watched his butt but, that's a secret between you and I, OK?
He reached the door and opened it before turning back around. He gave me a blink with a little smile, telling me he was just kidding and he wasn't really mad at me.
He then got out and closed the door.
I found myself smiling right after he had left. I looked at the flowers and chuckled.
Why?
Don't ask me, I never knew why.
He said, more to himself than to me, and I rolled my eyes again.
