Yesterday's event was one of the worst events of my life. I agreed to be used as a toy. Now I'm wishing God to take care of me and let those assholes die. I'm awake...I'm already awake, but I don't want to open my eyes. I don't want to leave my bed, I can't. I can't. Today is the day; I will start to make her fall in love with me. Opening my eyes, I felt so bad and stupid over and over again when I remember what we've talked about yesterday, but what else can I do? I'm also a victim here. Checking my phone, I saw three messages from Scott. Of course it's from my secret phone I bought last year, so dad can't see my bad side.
SCOTT: Dude, here's her number XXXXXXXXXX. Save it. I'll call you later where you can meet her.
SCOTT: Wake up! She's going to the coffee shop where you met her yesterday.
SCOTT: FUCK! Dude wake up!
After reading the annoying messages from Scott, I took a shower and get dressed. I'm excited to see her, but I'm also nervous. Few more weeks our class will start again, but this year we're already 12th graders or usually called "seniors." I wonder how he can know where Stacie is going. On my way to the kitchen, I saw mom having intimate time with dad. Ugh! So gross!
"Get a room you two!" I shout. Mom giggled and turns to look at me.
"Good morning Charles. Where are you going?" Dad asked while returning to his chair.
"Hmm...I'm going to...meet my friend in 148th Ave. Coffee shop." I said with nervous tone. God dad! Just let me go.
"Ok, but sawyer will go with you. No buts!" YES
"Thanks dad." I gave my mom a hug and promised I will not stay out late.
Today I decided to use my A6 car, the car same with Lance. Sawyer followed with me outside our house; he's going to follow me with the black SUV. I know Phoebe hates too many securities, but I do appreciate dad's effort to make us all safe. It's hard to be a Grey, but it's all worth it sometimes. Reaching my destination, I spotted a brunette wearing black leather pants, gray sweatshirt with Sequined Lips printed on it and a black wedge boots exiting the coffee shop with a big cup of hot coffee or coco.
I quickly parked my car near the 148th avenue Coffee shop and Sawyer did the same thing.
My phone rang…
"Dude, what the fuck are you doing? Follow her, don't let her get away.
"Dude yourself, can't you please wait, I'm making a perfect timing to approach her." and with that I hang-up the phone to concentrate looking at her. When I decided to follow her, I also planned on entering the book store she recently entered. Looking at different books, she went to the first bookshelf which contains of fictional books.
Here goes nothing.
I'm about to approach her when my damn phone vibrates. SHIT! I took my phone from my pocket and saw Scott's message.
SCOTT: Charlie just make a book fall near her and let her get it. Then thank her that's all.
ME: Can you please wait because if you can't wait you can do the honor. That would be one hundred percent better for me.
I rolled my eyes and composed myself again. Maybe Scott's plan will work. Making my way to the first shelf, I stand on the left side of it so I'm opposite of Stacie, I can see her through these books, damn! My hands are sweaty and I'm feeling cold. Taking a book silently and trying to walk natural to Stacie's side while turning the pages of the book I'm "reading," I dropped the book and waited for her reaction but... Damn! She just looked at the book that was on the floor and continued reading. What to do! Plan B, approach her! After picking up the book, I move near her, look straight at her eyes and acted like I'm surprise to see her.
"Charlie?" She remembered!
"Stacie!" What to do next?!
"What are you doing here?" she asked while returning the book she's reading to finally look at me.
"Hmmm... Looking for some...books for Andy." Damn! I used Andy again.
"Oh-ok. Did you find anything interesting for him?"
"Not yet. I might go to another bookstore to check if they have interesting books for kids." What kind of excuse is this?! Checking my phone, I saw tons of annoying messages from Scott. What an asshole! What now?! She went to the second bookshelf. GRRRR! Trying to keep on tract, I continued my "FAKE READING" act, I know she's going to leave soon so, I returned the book I was holding and acted like I don't know where she's going.
"Charles, I'll go now. It's nice seeing you again...bye." She said leaning on the bookshelf next to me. Wait!
"Let's grab some doughnut and hot coco first, my treat. Please." Pleading like an asshole, I received a beautiful glowing smile and pinkish cheeks. She's going to say no, but I grabbed her left hand and drag her outside of the bookstore to my car near the #148th coffee shop.
"Hey stop! Where are you taking me?" She protested.
"I told you, you owe me a date and that's today." I let go of her hand and went to open the passenger door for her.
"But…" I held up my hand and said "Trust me, I will not hurt you. I will bring you home in one piece."
"Fine, but…"
"NO buts ok, just climbed in so we can go now. It's cold here you now." I finally convince her to climb inside my car. She's still looking very sexy with her pinkish cheeks and leather pants. It shows her curves and perfect ass. I know you like me! I know you do Stacie! Closing her door, I managed to go to the driver's side without removing my eyes on her. Oh-my-God! I'm getting affected with the "Scott virus." Shaking my head, I look at her and she smiled.
"Why?" I asked
"Nothing, let's go?"
I put my iPod on shuffle mode to let it choose what to play. While making a right turn to the NE 8th street, a Bruno Mars song entitled Treasure started to play. Stacie look at me with surprise.
"What?" I don't think there's wrong with Bruno Mars's songs.
"Nothing, it's just that I didn't expect to hear this kind of song from your iPod." Seriously! I'm just a human being trying to enjoy my life with music.
"Stacie, I'm not a weird guy. I know I didn't socialize much yesterday, but that doesn't mean I'm nerd or a freak."
"Fine, I'm sorry." She said smiling. When Bruno Mar's song treasure was almost done, she looks at me and said "Wait. Don't tell me you also have the song/music bubble butt." Oh shit!
"I don't have, I know that song/music, but I don't like the "twerking" thing."
"Oh yeah?!" She looks suspiciously at me again. We stopped talking when the song from the movie across the universe I wanna hold your hand started to play, I feel uncomfortable and I think she feels the same way too. Instead of minding the damn song, I forced myself to focus on the road to avoid ending up lying on a hospital bed because of the slippery road. When I saw the Chase bank, I turn to the 106th avenue NE and look for a good parking space.
I parked my car next to the black range rover and Sawyer parked the SUV next to the red Audi car.
My phone rang… its Sawyer.
"Ok."
"Who's that?" Stacie asked while unbuckling her seatbelt.
"It's Sawyer, He will come inside with us. Is it ok for you if he will be around?" She nodded in response and smiled.
After making sure that all is fine. We headed to the Top Pot Doughnuts next to Shnoo yogurt house. A not so young guy wearing a very cool "Top pot doughnut" shirt greeted us. Stacie chose the table near the counter to have a better look of the doughnuts. After God knows how long, she finally decided to have glazed doughnut, chocolate bar and a decaf. For me, I decided to have chocolate bar, blueberry specialty cake and a decaf.
"I'll be back." I said and went straight to the counter to order our food. Waiting for my change, my phone vibrated. It's Scott.
SCOTT: Keep me posted.
ME: Sure.
"Sir here's your change $5." The guy in the counter said interrupting my moment with Scott.
"Thanks."
When I returned to Stacie, I saw her checking her emails. She quickly hides her phone and smiled when she saw me. The square wooden table has three well furnished and looking very expensive chairs. Because I already know that Stacie hates to sit beside me, I sit on the chair opposite of her, so I can see her face while I'm talking with her.
Waiting for her to speak I noticed that She keeps on looking at her phone, what's eating her? Jeez! She might have noticed my actions.
"Hey what's wrong? You keep on checking your phone. Is everything ok with you?" I asked after getting anxious about her sudden change of mood.
"I'm sorry. It's about my vi…" She didn't finish her sentence because of the black guy serving our food and looking very happy with Stacie. GET LOST OR I'LL MAKE YOU PAY RIGHT NOW!
"Thank you." She said and the black guy serving our food smiled from ear to ear like he won in the lottery. Looking at the black guy, Stacie called my attention.
"Ohh- sorry. What's with you visa again?" My Blueberry cake is making me hungry. I love this so bad.
"Forget it. I still have one year to finish my senior year and think about college." NOOOOO! Her statement made me feel so sad and bad. I'm going to ruin her last year here in Seattle.
"Ok." The only word I produced. After that sad news I look at my blueberry and hot coffee. I continued to be like this until I heard her calling my name.
"Hey, what's your complete name and where are you studying?" She asked. I don't want to lie, but I have to or else the plan will be ruined and Scott will make my life more miserable.
"My complete name is Charles…Taylor. Yes, Charles Taylor and I'm also going to be senior this year in Bellevue high." Fuck! Now I'm the son of my father's right hand.
"Are you serious? I'm also studying there. Are you a transferee?" YOU DON'T KNOW ME?! SERIOUSLY?!
"I'm not a transferee, it's because I don't mingle with my classmates a lot and…" She didn't let me finish my sentence and …
"Your securities right?" she asked before sipping her hot coffee.
"Yes."
"How many siblings do you have?"
"Two. Phoebe and Andy"
"I see…" the only thing she said while biting the last piece of her glazed doughnut.
"You, Where's your mom, dad and Cloe now?"
"Mom and dad already left this morning to return to Italy because my mom is busy with her business there and my sister and Cloe returned to Portland last night." She lives alone?!
"So you live all by yourself now?"
"I choose to be an independent. So, yes I live all alone near Bellevue high for almost 3 years now."
"Why did you choose to study here in Seattle not in Italy or in other European countries?"
"Because I want to prove to parents that I can survive on my own and enjoy my teenage life far from them."
After lying and sharing lots of stuff with Stacie. I've learned that she's single, but she's not yet ready to have a boy friend. I asked her if she knows some Grey studying in Bellevue, she nodded and said she's not interested to know the Grey's because they're not like the normal student of Bellevue High, They're rich, powerful and very boastful most especially Lance Grey. Finishing her food, I excused myself to go the bathroom. When I entered the men's room, I checked my phone and saw two recent messages and five missed calls from Scott.
SCOTT:
What's happening now?!
SCOTT:
WHERE THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU NOW?!
I don't have time to talk with him right now. I don't want to ruin this day for me and Stacie. Washing my face, I saw a tall black guy behind me, the black guy who have something for Stacie. He's looking very serious at me. I ignored him to just avoid making a scene inside this cozy coffee shop and to avoid the tabloids. I can't let her know my identity now that I already lied about my family and about my personal information. Two hours of talking with her is not enough to know her that well, I wish I met her in a different way and reason. I know she's a very nice person to destroy. Scott is not a better man for her, I know that for sure. Scott need to accept that and leave Stacie alone. BUT HOW?! HOW CHARLES?!
"Sir." Sawyer snapped. I let him drive my car after sending Stacie to her apartment. Sawyer called Marcus to bring back the SUV because I can't drive with these kind of questions floating in my mind.
WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE I LET SAWYER DRIVE US BACK HOME.
When we arrived at Stacie's apartment, she offered me to come inside, but I can't. I can't do this anymore and she pouts. I forgot to stop myself that I pulled her in my arms for a minute in front of her apartment's door.
"Charles what's wrong?"
"Can I borrow your one minute and just stay like this?"
"Ohh-ok, but what's wrong?"
"Nothing, everything is fine as long as I know you're safe."
"Why? You're making me nervous."
I can't stop myself anymore. I let my mind follow my heart's desire to kiss Stacie long and passionate. Holding her hips with my left hand and her neck with my right hand, she didn't stop me from kissing her. I know you want me too, I know you do. I know you do, but I really need to do this. I kissed her forehead and leave. I know she's going to be mad or maybe confused with my actions, but I can't let my feelings dominate now. I need to do this for me to be able to get out of this miserable event of my life.
OMG! IT'S ALREADY 3:38M
SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE. I WAS SO BUSY ENROLLING MY 2ND TERM THIS YEAR.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
