The Girl Named Charlotte✔️

Chapter 44

I'm sorry for the a short chapter!

Eleazar's POV

When I finished picking Charlotte from school.

I didn't like what I saw.

That delivery boy had just gave Charlotte a kiss on the cheeks.

If it was her lips I would've gone mad.

When I parked my car in the garage Charlotte made her way out.

Interesting I thought.

Then I collected a few things.

Then I made it inside the manor.

I saw Charlotte eating her yogurt.

While she was eating she was focusing on me.

This normally happens if she wants to say something to me..

When I finished setting my work stuff down.

She was still watching me.

I grabbed my laptop and placed it on the counter.

"Is there something you'd like to say?" I asked opening my laptop.

She opened her mouth to speak but then she closed it.

So she shook her head.

Right.

Then I went to finalize a draft.

I noticed that she got up and went into the living room but she kept on going back into the kitchen and so forth.

I was curious to what was happening inside her head.

Finally when she was making a hot chocolate I was pretty sure I heard her say my name but it didn't seem like it.

Then she returned to the kitchen.

"Charlotte" I said.

Closing my laptop.

She turned around as if she was caught being in the cookie jar.

"Is there something bothering you?" I inquired.

Then she was talking as if she was choosing her words carefully.

Thirsty? She was just thirsty?

"Well would you like me to make you a lemonade?" I offered.

She quickly said no but then she said yes with some excitement to it.

I was really puzzled by her behaviour.

So I made her a lemonade but while in the process of making the lemonade she was watching me like a hawk.

I handed the glass of lemonade to her.

"Thank you" she said, and she looked pretty conflicted.

I'll just let it slide...? I mean she still acts awkward around me but  her behaviour was really making me worry for her.

Maybe it's the kiss on her cheek that she received?

*****

It was 8pm and Charlotte was still pacing and she would glance my way every now and then.

Then when I was in my study.

Charlotte knocked at the door.

I said come in and so she did.

She was already in her pajamas and she had her hair in a bun.

"Um... " she says.

I set aside my paper and I folded my hand and I looked at her to speak.

"I was wondering..." she begins to say.

Ah she needed to ask me for something? I knew it didn't have anything to do with our relationship.

"You were wondering?" I said.

"If by any chance on friday I could go to Daxon's party" she said.

So all this afternoon she tried to muster the courage to ask for my permission.

"What's the party for?" I inquired.

"Daxon didn't say" she said.

"I see. I'll think about it" I said. She then gave me the puppy-eyes.

I resisted it.

"You're really handsome" she innocently said.

She resorted to buttering me up.

"I certainly am handsome aren't I?" I smugly said.

I reversed the concept.

"Yeah you're really handsome and the best in the world" she continues.

"I haven't said no" I begin to say then her eyes lit up like the night sky.

"Oh thank you thank you!" she excitingly said.

"Under one condition" I said.

"You have to be home by 10 no later" I continued.

"Yes. Okay I'll be home by then" she happily said.

I smiled

"then it's settled" I said and watched as she made her way out.
