Charlie
I'm back in New York. I just can't take Chris' constant scowl and glares at me. I know he's disappointed and upset. But there's nothing he can do about it. He just has to suck it all up.
Since I'm in a really foul mood, I decided to invite Dee to go clubbing. She agreed. So here I am getting all ready.
After shower I used my powers to cast me the perfect dress. I closed my eyes and I thought of a tight fitting black dress with a halter strap. It goes a few inches below the knees, with a slit on the right thigh part. My shoes were blood red peep toe stilettoes. When I opened my eyes, I'm wearing the exact same dress I pictured. I smirked and did my makeup. I decided on the 'no makeup look. ‘It did look good with my dress.
When I am quite satisfied with how I looked in the mirror, I went downstairs and grabbed my car keys and purse.
I went to my Toyota Altis and hopped in. I turned it on and drove off. Since I cannot contact Marc earlier, I decided to drop by his apartment and invite him personally.
When I arrived in his apartment building, I parked my car and went in. I went up to Marc's floor, and looked for his door number.
Once I stood in front of his apartment door, I knocked thrice. Then the door opened by a guy with a dirty blonde hair, and wearing only his boxers. Definitely not Marc.
"May I help you?" He asked.
I opened my mouth to speak but decided against it. Instead I looked at the door number to see if I'm in the right place. The number was right. I was indeed in Marc's apartment.
I was about to speak when there was an arm snaked around the guy's torso.
"Who is it babe?"
I moved a little bit to my right to see who just spoke. My mouth dropped upon my discovery. The arm belongs to a naked Marc with only a towel covering his family jewels.
His eyes widened when his eyes landed on me. He looked from and then to the other guy. He removed his arm and looked back at me.
I forced myself to smile at him despite the awkwardness around us.
"Hi. "
"Uhm, I can explain. " he said, but I cut him off.
"No need. I understand. Can I come in?" I told him.
"Sure. "
They held the door opened and I came in. They lead me to the living room. They motioned me to sit on the couch while they ran back inside the room.
When they were back, both dressed in jeans and shirt.
They took a seat across mine. There was an awkward silence before the other guy spoke.
"I'm Matt. " he introduced himself.
I gave him a small smile.
"I'm Charlie. " I said.
He looks quite surprised but hid it with his charming smile.
"You're Charlie? The Charlie?" He asked.
I looked at him like he said I was the tooth fairy.
"Uhmm, yeah. Last time I checked I am Charlie. "
Then he burst into laughter. Marc rolled his eyes.
"I'm sorry. It’s just that I've been jealous of the 'Charlie' that Marc calls a lot. I thought you were a guy. I'm sorry if I planned to strangle you." He explained.
I awkwardly smiled and cleared my throat, and speak.
"So, you two are together?" I asked.
They both nodded.
"We've been secretly dating for four years already. We met in college but he's in a relationship with a girl named Tori. Two years later, we met again. We hanged out a lot and then we fell in love." Marc explained.
"I broke up with my girlfriend and pursued Marc. I never felt anything like this except with him. Like my world is completed. I love him. " Matt added looking at Marc.
I smiled at them. A love like no other. I wish I have that.
"Why didn't you tell anyone? I wouldn't mind. You two are in love and that's not a crime or something to be ashamed of. " I told them.
Relief washed over them.
"Not everyone is as understanding as you. Especially I work as the executive assistant of the world's known player, Arion Knight. " Marc said.
I mentally scoffed at hearing Arion's name.
"And my parents didn't know I am gay. They always wanted me to settle down and have a family of my own. " Matt said.
"You can still have that with Marc. People nowadays have an opened mind regarding gay couples. You can get married in Vegas, adopt a child. "I told them.
They both smiled at me.
"Thank you Charlie. It means a lot to us. Uhmm... Don't want to be rude but, what are you doing here?" Marc asked.
"Oh. I almost forgot. Dee and I are going to go clubbing. I came here to invite you. So I am here, I met Matt, had a nice chat with you guys. Now, do you want to join us for a drink?"
"Maybe next time. Matt is leaving tomorrow for a business trip. I want to spend time with him. " Marc told me.
I smiled.
"It’s okay. I understand. But next time I won't take no for an answer. " I told them.
Matt chuckled.
"Sure. We'll look forward to it. " he said.
Then we stood up. They walked me towards the door. I turned to them and smiled.
"It’s a pleasure to meet you Matt. I always want to have plenty of friends. " I said with a smile, and I opened the door and left. I proceed to pick Dee from her apartment.
We went to a club not too far from her place.
We took a seat in the bar and ordered drinks. We drank while we looked around. Then I felt Dee nudged my arm. I looked at her.
"What?" I asked her.
"Hot guy at two o'clock. " she said.
I looked at where she pointed at. There indeed was a guy. And that guy is Percy. He was looking at us and smirked before approaching us.
He snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me towards him and peck my lips.
"Hey darling. "
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Surprise." He said with Hus most charming smile.
I sigh and looked at Dee.
"This is Dee, my officemate mate and friend. Dee, this is Percy my-" Percy cut me off.
"Her boyfriend. " he said and they shook hands.
Dee smirked at me and wiggled her eyebrows.
"You didn't tell me you have a boyfriend. I thought I'd be able to match you with Marc. But who am I to complain. You got yourself a hit piece of meat. " Dee teased.
Percy chuckled.
"Now excuse me. I'm going to find myself a hot guy to dance with. " Dee said then left to the dance floor.
I turned to Percy.
"Seriously Percy, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Chris?" I asked him.
"Darling, I want to be with you. "
I smiled and pulled him for a heated kiss. Somehow, I felt wrong. And I know why. Because of my beloved, who probably screwing every girl who spread their legs for him.
He pulled away from me and wrapped his arms round my waist.
"Spend the night with me. " he said.
I looked into his eyes and smiled. I nodded and he smiled back.
We ordered a couple more shots before we left to a hotel.
*O*
