I was in my room eating the burger and fries we picked up before we made it back to the manor. I ate alone for I didn't want to hear any more of Wanda and Beck's questions.

I sat in my bed with my food as I dialed Charlie's number.

" Toni?"

" Isn't that what the caller ID said?" I snapped.

" No, because I got a new phone"

" What happened to the last one?"

" Andrea and Jackie pushed me in the pool"

" That must've been funny," I said with a chuckle as I imagined the scene.

" Ha haha. So, how is it in London? Your best friend has missed you"

" Aww, tell Andrea I miss her too"

" I meant me"

" I miss you too, Charlie. I just wish I would've been home sooner. The last couple of days have been a mess" I confessed.

" How so?" He asks intrigued.

" Well..."

" What happened?"

" What I'm about to tell you stays hush hush okay? I don't want your wife-

" Also known as your sister" Charlie interrupted.

" Don't interrupt me. Like I said before, I don't want your wife or my mother to hear about this."

" I promise"

" Fine"

" So are you gonna tell me?" He asked after a moment of silence.

" I just needed a moment to get myself together"

" Toni, how bad could it be?" He asked with a chuckle.

" Well, we almost kissed" I whispered into the phone.

" You what?"

" Almost kissed," I said a bit louder.

" What?"

" You heard me"

" No, I didn't"

" I said... we almost kissed"

" What?!?"

" Now I know you heard me this time" I declared with sass.

" I know, I'm just shocked that you let that happen"

" I was shocked myself. I felt so...defenseless and I...I let loose"

"Man, you're losing your touch"

" I know. Hopefully Barbie the bitch will get me pissed off tomorrow or something"

" Who?"
