While Charles and I are in my bedroom, we start to get ready for dinner.
I put on my white blouse that makes me look skinny, and then put on a navy-blue pencil skirt.
“Whew, you look beautiful.” He tells me.
“Thank you.” I chuckled.
“Now do a twirl for me.” Charles says.
I laughed but did what I was told.
“Yep, that’s my baby.” He says, taking out his phone and recording me.
“You look good babe, you look good.” He says whilst continuing to record.
This made me laugh and stop twirling.
He then held out his hand and held onto my hand.
“You good babe?” He asked me.
“Yeah, I’m okay.” I say shaking my head.
Good gosh, the room kept spinning.
“Okay here.” He randomly tells me.
Before I can even react, he pulled me against his chest, and wrapped his arms around me.
I laid my head against his chest and closed my eyes.
Listening to his heart beating so soundly.
“That heart is all yours, babe.” He tells me, trying to be cute.
But it works, because he’s being really cute right now.
“Thanks babe.” I mumbled against his chest.
“No problem beautiful.” He chuckles.

“So, how long are you staying here for Marissa?” My daddy asks Marissa later on during dinner.
“Um just till Saturday.” Marissa explains to the both of them.
“Oh, are you going to our football game?” Charles asks her.
Marissa finally acknowledges him.
“Um, I’m not sure yet, there’s just people I got to see.” Marissa says while looking back down at her food.
“Hm, well okay.” Charles just says.
Marissa and my parents looked cautiously at Charles.
This got Charles’ attention.
So, he then looked up at all of them.
“What? Do people never say anything negative to you?” Charles asks Marissa in amusement.
“Not really no.” She tells him.
“Well, then I’ll be a first. I just said hm, well okay, because personally, I actually give no f***s if you come or not. My family will still be there cheering on for me AND Macie.” Charles explains to her nonchalantly.
My parents dropped their mouths wide opened.
I placed my hand on Charles’ thigh.
Just to make sure he’s remaining calm.
“I mean, I don’t really know if I want to go or not.” Marissa explains.
“See, that’s much better, I was only asking for my girlfriend, who just so happens to be your younger sister.” Charles tells her.
“Yeah I guess.” Marissa just says.
And then her and my parents begin talking.
I looked at him and squeezed his thigh a little bit.
He looked at me then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
We all then continue to eat my mom’s homemade Chinese food.
Which just so happens to be homemade chicken Lo Mein.
“Um, mama and daddy, can you try to make it to my game?” I ask them.
Everyone but Charles, stopped what they were doing, and looked at me.
“Well, honey, um your daddy and I want to spend Friday night with Marissa, we were all just talking about this steakhouse.” My mama explains awkwardly.
“But it’s my first away game, and I want you all to be there.” I tell them.
“Still sweetie, it’ll be Marissa’s last night here till Thanksgiving, sorry.” My daddy tells me.
This made me frown and look down.
I then stood up and this got Charles’ and my family’s attention.
“You guys are horrible.” I say with watery eyes, and then ran out of there.
I hear Charles run after me while I make it up the stairs and into my bedroom.
I lied down on my bed and then starting crying.
I hear Charles close my door and then lock it.
“Come on babe, let me get you dressed up.” He tells me softly.
I see him turn on my side table lamp, and then turn off the ceiling light with the light switch that is next to my door.
I then sat up and nodded my head.
He took my pencil skirt off, and then told me to raise my arms up.
Which I did so, and he then unclipped my bra, and threw on a t-shirt of mine.
I kept sniffling.
“I’m sorry.” I say softly.
“Shh, it’s alright, let’s get some sleep.” He tells me.
I see him get out of his clothes and stay in his tight boxers.
I then lied back down, and he scooted next to me and covered us both up with my covers.
I leaned my back against his front.
“Goodnight babe.” I tell him.
“Night beautiful.” He says.
Then I hear him turn off my lamp light.
And instantly let sleep consume me.
~*~*~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~*~
The following morning, I lean my head against the wall that connects to Marissa’s room and eavesdrop on her conversation.
“Gosh, my sister can be a freak.” I hear her say.
“Well, she still sounds interesting.” I hear a girl say.
I can hear her too because she is on Marissa’s speaker phone.
“Babe, just ignore them.” Charles explains.
I sighed but did what I was told.
“Why is she even here? She needs to be back in Florida.” I explained frustrated while taking my t-shirt off and putting on my bra.
“I’m not sure, but babe, you need to relax, and get ready for school” He tells me while flashing me a smile.
“Yeah okay.” I sighed.
After we got ready, we grabbed our usual stuff and then got out of my bedroom.
We decided to grab breakfast at Charles’ house, so I pulled in his driveway, and we both went inside his house.
But before we went in, Charles held the door opened for me.
“Why thank you.” I tell him with a grin.
“No problem beautiful.” He says to me.
We then made our way inside.
