"What?!", Charlotte and Jasper shouted.
"I seriously didn't know what I was doing", Aurora said.
"Of course you know what you are doing", Jasper said.
"So, Zuerien really asked you to go to dinner with him?", Charlotte asked again.
"Yes. And stop making it seem like a big deal."
"It is a big deal!", Charlotte said while grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh My God!", Jasper shouted. "She needs something to wear."
"Yeah!", Charlotte replied. "A dress...and....Makeup!"
"Yes. Makeup. And she needs to do something with her hair."
"I'm not trimming my hair", Aurora said but they weren't listening to her.
"We need to go shopping", Jasper said.
"Yeah. We also need to go to the salon", Charlotte added.
"Hello!", Aurora shouted finally gaining their attention.
"What?", The asked at
"Hey, you're back", Charlotte said with excitement as Aurora stepped into the house."Yeah", Aurora mumbled back."What's wrong?", Charlotte asked noticing something was up."Nothing. I'm fine.""You don't look fine. What happened? Did he hurt you?", Charlotte said examining her body for any sigh that someone hurt her. "If he did, I'm gonna rip-""I said I'm fine, Char", Aurora said loudly this time. "I'll just go to bed."Charlotte looked at her not ready to give up."I'm okay. I just need to rest. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight", she said and turned."Okay. I'll join you in bed soon. Let me finish this movie", Charlotte said."Okay", Aurora said and went to the room. As she closed the door, her eyes became blurry.This is exactly what she is avoiding. He can't just like her. He just can't.
Charlotte got down from the plane and walked looking around for her Dad. She sighted him waving at her. She smiled and walked towards him. As she walked, her mind drifted to Aurora. She pities the poor girl. She can't imagine her life without her Dad and she thinks Aurora is really strong. Loosing two parents like that, Aurora must be very strong.She walked towards him and hugged him tight. "I missed you, Dad."He hugged her back and kissed her forehead. "I missed you too. How are you?"She shrugged. "Good. At least I'm breathing.""Why did you say that?""I'm really worried about Aurora. It's like since Uncle Charles Dad, he took her happiness along."Jerry patted her back. "That's why you are her friend. It's your job to return that happiness."She hugged him. "Thanks, Dad.""You're welcome. Let's go home. You have to rest. You are starting the w
"Zuerien?", She called.And without wasting time, she hugged him. She hugged because she was finally seeing him. She hugged him because there was a shoulder to cry on that moment. She hugged because if she didn't, she could probably pass out. As she hugged, she cried."I killed him. I'm going to jail for sure. I didn't mean to", she said to Zuerien as he rubbed circles on her back."Aurora, calm down. Shh!""I'm a killer. I deserve to be killed too."Zuerien pulled away from the hug and placed his hands on both sides of her face. "Nothing will happen to you. Look at him. He is still breathing. We can still save him. Let's get him to the hospital."Aurora looked towards the man and indeed he was still breathing but not clearly."Get up. We can still save him", Zuerien said and moved closer to the man. He removed his clothes and was only in his single
Aurora woke up as her alarm sounded. The alarm was so loud that she threw it against the wall. The sound was annoying her.She stood up from the bed and that was when she realized she slept in Zuerien's clothes. She smiled and removed them before going to have her bath.She got down after some minutes and wanted to enter the living room when she heard some voices."Can you just tell me what exactly your problem is?", She heard Megan ask."Mum, you were awake last night, worried. And she showed up with a guy. Funny thing is she was even wearing the guy's clothes. When you are here getting worried, she was out there with a guy. I just hate her!", Selena fired."Can you just listen to yourself? Do you realize you are being stupid right now? If you had use your brain, you would have seen that her wrist was bandaged. Meaning, something bad happened. And you can open your m
She looked up at him and hugged him.He hugged her back and rubbed circles on her back.She already stopped crying now. And as she hugged him, it felt right. This is where she wants to be and stay.After they hugged for some minutes, they pulled away and just sat holding each other's hands not saying anything.They sat there until rain started dropping."Oh! It's raining", Zuerien said and they stood up. "Let's get in the car", he said and she nodded.They got into the car and Zuerien put on the heat.Due to the rain, she was already wet especially her hair.Zuerien smiled at her and she smiled back. "Your hair is long."She ran her hands through her hair and smiled. "Yeah. I like it that way. I have never trimmed it before.""Really?""Yeah. I don't like doing anything to my hair. I lik
She got in and saw the floor littered with all types of kid toys. She walked further into the room and she saw her.A little girl on a wheel chair.She gasped and the girl turned to look at her."Who are you? Why are you here?", The girl asked."I'm a maid here."The girl wheeled closer to her. "Are you here to tell me about my Daddy?"Charlotte kneeled down and held the girl's hand. "No. But I want to be your friend."The girl's face light up. "No one has ever said that to me since I came here. And no one is telling me where my Daddy is.""Your Daddy is fine. He is with my friend."She smiled. "That's a relief."Charlotte smiled too. "But I want you to do something for me.""What?""Don't let anyone know that I came here. I will always visit you from time to time, okay?"
She pulled him closer and smashed her lips to his. She didn't know what she was doing and at that moment she doesn't care. This is her first kiss but it feels right. It feels perfect.He smiled into the kiss. It feels right for him too. He felt like the missing puzzle in his life has been found and fixed. Now the puzzle is complete.She pulled back and they rested their foreheads against each other. He smiled at her and she smiled back."Your first kiss?", He whispered."Yeah", she whispered back. "And I don't regret it."He smiled and ran his finger over her lips. "Me too. I don't regret it one bit. It isn't my first but the best."She smiled. "As much as I'd like to stay like this forever, it's not possible. I have to go home. Megan would probably be worried about me."He nodded but couldn't take his eyes off her. "Okay, I'll drop you", he said with a
She hasn't walk very far from the room when she came face to face with the devil herself.Bianca.She gulped as she looked at Bianca. She bowed a little and walked past her but she was called back."Hey."Her heartbeat increased as she heard that. She turned slowly with her head still slightly bent. "Yes, boss.""What do you call your name the last time?""K...Kelly.""Oh, Kelly. And why are you stammering?"Charlotte got more scared but tried to answer without stammering this time. "No reason.""Okay. I need you to prepare me another Chicken soup just like the last time. I really enjoyed it."She nodded. "I will do that and bring it to your study.""No. Not my study. My room."She nodded again. "Okay, Ma'am."Bianca nodded and walked away.Charlott
