"Come with me to Egypt. I promise I'll take care of you." He said, playing with her hair as they lay under a throw on the couch.
"No, I can't." she sighed and played with his hand and fingers.
"Why not?" he asked, her, turning her around to face him.
"I just can't. My lessons are just getting good, and Alex will miss me, I… just can't go." She said, looking at his hypnotic eyes.
"It's because of him right?" he asked her.
She turned her back on him and hugged herself. He got up and wrapped himself up with the throw. She sat up and listened to his ranting.
"He left you, I'm here. I loved you enough to stay." he said to her.
"He's not coming back, I know Kai." He said, sitting down next to her and taking her hand.
"He's not coming back Charlie. Come with me to Egypt, we'll start a new life there." He said, touching her face.
"Tala, I can't. I'm staying in France." She said to him.
He got up and got dressed.
"Well, if you can't come with me, then I guess this is over." He said, pulling on his jacket.
She got up and wrapped herself in the throw.
"I guess it is." She said as he walked towards the door.
He stopped and looked back at her.
"One last chance. Come with me, please." He begged her.
She walked up to him and smiled at him.
"You said you loved me." She said.
He reached around her and pulled her up to his lips.
"I do love you." He said to her, kissing her softly.
"Then tell Boris to forget it. Stay with me, in Paris. We can have our new start here. It'll probably be all over the newspaper after that kiss." She said to him.
"You don't understand. Biovault is like a magnet. Eventually, it always pulls you back." He said, setting her down on the floor.
"I guess I'm always gonna go back." He said, turning around and opening the door.
"Goodbye Charlotte." He said, smiling at her one last time.
"Bye Tala." She said as he walked out the room.
She went to her balcony and watched as he walked over the road and caught a taxi to the airport.
"CHARLIE!" Alex shouted at her.
She looked up at her sister only to see her beyblade was in her sister's hand.
"You lost, again. What's wrong with you today?" Alex walked up to her and she handed her her blade back.
"Ah, just a little distracted." She said, walking to a bench and sitting down.
Alex walked after her and sat down.
"Wanna talk about it?" Alex asked her.
She rubbed her eyes and frowned.
"I was seeing someone for about two months, and we broke up an hour ago. No big deal though." She said to Alex.
Alex pulled over a newspaper and showed her the front page.
"Is it him?" Alex asked her, looking at a cellphone picture of her and Tala in the book store talking, holding hands, and the final picture, one of them kissing.
"Wow, news travels fast, yeah, but he's gone. No need to worry." She said to Alex.
Alex frowned at her and Charlie looked at her.
"Charlotte, he kidnapped you, tortured you, he almost raped you numerous times, and now you're sleeping with him." Alex said to her sister.
"Was, as I said, we broke up. He's gone off the Egypt." She said, getting up.
She walked to the path and looked at her sister.
"Can we leave it for today, I'll be fine tomorrow again, I swear." She said, walking towards her limo.
Alex got up and ran after he sister.
"Tala, of all people, Tala. Why not some rich business man, or sportsman, why one of the worlds worst masterminds henchmen?" Alex asked as she got into the limo.
"Guess there was something to the whole evil is good, thing." Charlie said as they started driving home.
She looked out the window and said softly to herself.
"Evil was really good." She blushed.
When they got home, they relaxed, but Charlie's training resumed the next day.
