His Secret

Chapter 13: Secret

"Not funny." Charlie glares.

"I am funny."

"Correction, you think your funny."

"It's because i am."

"Your impossible, Elena."

"You love my amazing sense of humor."

"I wouldn't say love or amazing."

I kick his leg and he just shakes his head smiling.

"Is it too late to back out?" He says mischief only in his eyes. His smile then drops, "Sorry that was mean."

"Don't go all boring on me now, and no, you can't back out."

A smile covers his face again as we continue eating our food.

His phone rings and lights up with a call from Enzo.

Oh shit oh fuck.

He must know what we did. Surely.

Charlie swallows hard as he grabs his phone and answers putting it on speaker, "Hey Enzo."

"Hi." I chirp in trying to hide my ragged breaths.

"Hello my favourite duo."

"We're not a duo." I quickly say and Charlie lightly kicks my leg under the table probably meaning to cool it.

"Someone's in a mood." Enzo murmurrs.

"Rude." I grumble.

"How's life without me going? Absolutely boring and dull?"

"It's fine." Charlie says.

"Oh." Enzo's small voice grows sadder.

"I'm kidding bro, i miss you."

"I miss you both."

"Come home soon, Charlie's a pain in my ass." I giggle.

I look at Charlie is staring at me.

'What?' I mouth.

'Wasn't a pain in your ass when you were begging me to let you come.' He mouths back.

My cheeks flame pink unable to deal. How is he so good at flirting?

Who gave this man the right to be so god damn beautiful, seriously.

".. i hope you two are getting along." I tune back in to Enzo's small lecture.

"We are just fine, enjoy your time in Italy. Take pictures." Charlie replies.

"I've sent you a bunch on snap last night."

"Oh i wasn't active, i'll look after."

"Since when do you not go on your phone at night?"

Since he's too busy with me.

"It was a one-off."

My stomach twists as his words. I know he might be saying that but what if it is just a one off?

"Yeah whatever, i got to go. Bye." Enzo mutters quickly as the sound of a girl enters his room.

I stay silent lost in thoughts. I never thought about the consequences of last nights actions.

"Charlie." I whisper.

"Hm?"

"Can you promise me something?"

"Of course."

"That when we tell Enzo and if he gets angry you'll stay and not run."

His jaw clenches as he takes a deep breath, "I promise."

I smile from his words and a smile stretches his lips.

"I've got hockey practise this afternoon." I say.

"I'll probably go home and clean a bit."

"You should really just sell that house and live with us. You never go back there."

He shrugs, "One day."

We continue talking as we eat. Of course we throw teasing phrases back and forth, it's not in a malicious way.

I realise it was never a malicious thing. It's just how our dynamic works.

We keep each other on our toes, looking forward to something new and different not boring like other couples.

It's crazy how one night can lead to this.
