Luke's pov I'm relieved that I didn't guess what was going on in Danielle's mind and reveal it to her. All I needed to do that she found pleasing was to accompany her to her car and give her a goodbye kiss before she left. Once Danielle was finally gone, the tension in my mind eased, and I returned to my room, sitting on the bed. How am I going to handle this? Staying here and constantly looking at Brenda's pictures will only make things worse. I need to go and meet her at the office and tell her how her beauty and unique figure had turned me into. I stood up and walked to the window, contemplating whether I should go to Brenda's office. And when I get there, what would I say to her? I turned, as if facing my own thoughts and imagining them looking back at me. I gestured with my hands, as if giving a presentation. "I will make sure I look my best as I step out of this house. And when I reach her office, I'll say, 'Dear Brenda, the first time I saw you, I couldn't resist getting
Charlotte's pov Whenever Ava wears that kind of smile, I know she's going to say something related to me being in a relationship. So when she said she wanted to talk, I already knew it was about Eric and that he must have asked her to convince me that he was interested in me. I decided to wait to see the outcome. "Charlotte, can we talk?" Ava asked. "We can talk, but if it's about your uncle having his eyes on me, I'm not interested." "Guess what? Eric came for a different reason." "What reason?" I asked, suddenly becoming interested in what he came for. "It was my dad who called him..." "He called him here for what?" I interrupted. "It's about celebrating his new house. He's with my dad in the living room, discussing the arrangements of the celebration,” Ava said. "How does that concern me?" I asked, and when I said those words, she couldn't say anything. She looked at me as if she had something on her mind. "Can you go on a date with someone? Just one date," she
Charlotte's pov The moment Ava insisted on seeing the message, I realized I had missed the mark, and it wasn't good for me. "Do you really want to see it?" I laughed from the kitchen, assuming she would continue cooking. To my surprise, she turned off the gas burner and followed me. "Do you really want to see it?" I asked again as I headed towards my room. "Yes, I want to see it. Is it bad?" she asked. The more she followed me, the more anxious I became, and she seemed dead serious. I never anticipated this. All I had in mind was that Ava would happily accept the good news, and there was no way or time for me to fake such a message even if I wanted to. When I reached my room, and after a few seconds, she entered and stood in front of me. "Charlotte, can I have your phone?" she asked. That statement caught me off guard once again, and for a few seconds, I looked like someone who had done something very shameful. "It was a call, not a text message," I replied to Ava,
Tyler's pov When my daughter suggested I start with the good news, my mind took me back to where it all began. It was noon, and I was on my way to drop Eric off at his house after discussing the plans for the celebration of my new house. He was partly in charge of organizing the party. Then halfway to his house, Eric said, "Tyler, I never knew Charlotte was so beautiful." "Hmm..." I murmured. "What are your intentions with her?" I didn't even realize I asked that question. It must have slipped out of jealousy and the emotions I was having towards her. "I'm leaving it in Ava's hands. She assured me she would talk to her. Every time I see Charlotte, my heart skips a beat, and since I left your house, she hasn't left my thoughts no matter what I do.” "Can you handle that young lady? I doubt it, Eric. Your personalities are quite different, and I don't think that relationship will last. Besides, Charlotte is very selective..." "That's why I'm asking for your help. Ava told me
Author's pov It was early in the morning, and Brenda was just waking up in her large pink bed. As she stretched to fully awaken, her phone started ringing. She was too tired to answer the call. Slowly, she moved towards the edge of the bed, and by the time she reached the phone, it had stopped ringing. When she looked at the screen, she saw that it was her mom calling. She immediately returned the call, holding the phone to her ear and walking towards the giant mirror in her room. She was wearing a grey nightgown and gently touched her face, trying to feel her skin. Then her mom answered the call, and her voice changed Brenda's thoughts about her facial appearance. "Brenda, how was your night?" her mom asked. "It was fine. Good morning. How was your night?" "What about your dad? I just want to ask." "He's doing great. He's not far from me. Should I give him the phone?" "No, don't give it to him," Brenda said, and there was a pause in their conversation. "Brenda, are yo
Brenda's pov It was Friday morning, a day I had been eagerly anticipating. I couldn't wait to see Harrison again. Yesterday, Danielle accompanied me as we shopped for some beautiful gowns. However, these gowns weren't suitable for wearing to the office. I pondered over what to do. I didn't want to ask my secretary to give Harrison my home address. On the other hand, if I did that, it might seem like an indirect invitation to my house. Plus, if I ended up not liking him anymore, it would be difficult to get him to leave me alone. As the time to leave home approached, my heart started pounding, almost reaching my ribs. I also noticed my breath becoming shallow. "Why am I feeling scared?" I asked myself as I prepared to leave the house. I don't think anything would happen between me and Harrison, I really needed to control my feelings. That morning, I chose to wear a black suit, hoping we could go on a date later in the evening or the next day. That would be the perfect opportuni
Charlotte's pov How lovely and affectionate it would have been to make love with my best friend's dad. I won't deny it. Since I arrived here, he has captured my heart. Just the sight of him arouses me. But the man at the hotel understood my emotions, and that's why I'm going to meet the new love of my life. However, I've noticed some changes between Tyler and me. I started to wonder if it was because Ava told him that I was going to meet the love of my life, which is why he has been distancing himself from me gradually. He used to find joy in visiting my room, especially when I was alone, and he always found ways to hold my hand. But now, he spends more time in his own room, and even when Ava is not around, he no longer comes to my room. I still cherish him, even though I'm going to meet the man I've been hoping for. Since he doesn't come close to me like before, I miss him. At the same time, I try to remind myself that we're not in a romantic relationship so I can control my feel
Author's pov Charlotte felt a jolt of romantic shock when Tyler held her right hand and closed the door. She still had a glass of wine in her hand. As they reached the middle of the sitting room, she asked Tyler, "Can you help me put my hair back? I'm still holding my wine."Tyler stood in front of Charlotte while she smiled, and he tucked her hair behind her face. "Can you please tie it all together at the back?" she requested again. Tyler, without thinking otherwise, moved to her back and tied her hair together. "Is that all?" he asked. "Hmm... for now."Tyler stepped away from her as his phone rang. He reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and answered the call. "Charles... It's been a while. You received my message?" Tyler spoke on the phone as he climbed the stairs to his room. Charlotte was left in the sitting room, watching Tyler walk away. Her facial expression changed, and it was clear she wasn't happy that Tyler had left her in such a mood. Charlotte q
