Angel doesn’t like Charlie and I still can’t figure out why. I was in the middle of a really important conversation with Leroy and she just showed up inside the office, greeting Kirsten’s brother and then pulling me back to the car. Well, I didn’t have much of a chance to get to know Kirsten better, but Leroy promised me we’d talk later somehow. It wasn’t hard to convince him to let me know everything he knew about his sister. Thanks God, because I’ll already have a hell of a work to do with the girl, I didn’t want to spend my energies trying to convince him as well.

At least now I know I have him on my side.

Then there’s this whole thing about Kirsten not being her real name. Why? Why for God’s sake she didn’t use her real name?! Leroy knew nothing about it; he just said she’s been asking to be called that way since 8 years ago when she met Tyler. Whenever he called her Scarlett she didn’t respond, and he even said she’d avoided him for months once. I can see by the way how he told me the story that he didn’t like what happened, but he didn’t have much of an option. Or he’d get used to it, or he’d lose his sister.

She was so confusing! And if that’s even possible, I’m even more intrigued now. Let me tell you something, I’m really getting into this girl. She’s mysterious, rude, and yet gentle in her own ways. I know she has secrets, but I just think I don’t have a clue of how deep she’s hiding things behind that pretty face. I’m afraid it might be too deep, too complex for me to even understand, but I’m certainly not afraid of falling. I’m just trying to get into her shelter, break it down and let her out. I want her to trust me enough to tell me what she’s hiding.

And I must admit I’m liking this mission pretty, pretty much.

When I got that close to her again at the orphanage, my heart seriously started going crazy as hell inside my chest. What was she even doing to me? God, whenever I’m near her I feel like I’m about to explode with so many feelings, and it’s just so… Good.

I was dying to kiss her again, but she was scared, and we didn’t have our privacy. Angel and Charlie would come back from the bathroom any moment and I didn’t want neither of them to catch me and Kirsten snogging in front of abandoned kids. That was disrespectful.

That word brought me back to the way how she mentioned Charlie, as if she was my girlfriend. Well, she was adorable. When I walked in I saw in her eyes – and she stared me for a long while – how she didn’t like the fact that I was holding Charlie’s hand. The girl didn’t give me a choice, she simply held it while we walked in, and I didn’t let go of it because it would be uncomfortable for both of us. Maybe she was scared of going into some place new and she needed my support, but I didn’t waste much of my time thinking of it. I just thought it would be great teasing for Kirs, and I ended up being right. She was, indeed, jealous.

You know, she’s starting to get used to me and the way how I can’t stop flirting with her. At first I wish I could just stop being so stupid, but now it feels like the right thing to do. Whenever I flirt with her I can see her blushing, and little by little she’s stopping to push me away. She even let me caress her for a while. And I couldn’t miss a second of that moment; I enjoyed everything: from the way she relaxed under my touch, to the way she unconsciously moved to get a bit more of it. And God… When she whispered those words…
