Jack's Pov
"Alex, what the fuck have you done to Charlotte?" I asked with a sigh, as I walked into the bedroom and sat down next to him.
"What have I done?" Alex asked with a laugh. "According to Megan, she's been all over Adam in here - so I'm getting mugged off again. I don't know why I'm so surprised though; someone like her liking me."
"Do you really believe that?" I asked shaking my head. "Mate, Charlotte practically collapsed on me crying. If she'd been cracking on with Adam then she wouldn't be like that. People fancy her mate, but she only seems to fancy you. If you keep acting like this though you're going to push her straight into Adam's arms."
"I just like her so much already." He said putting his head into his hands.
"I know mate, but you need to fix whatever you've fucked up big time."
"Do you know where -" Alex began, but I cut him off straight away.
"No mate. She needs space for now, and she'll be on her date with Charlie." I told him firmly, giving him a pat on the back.
Charlotte's Pov
After Dani had finally calmed me down properly, I'd went outside to find Charlie waiting for me.
So after a few minutes walk, we'd all found ourselves sat on a field on separate picnic blankets. Straight away, Charlie turned his attention to me.
"So, tell me about yourself Charlotte."
"Well I'm a model, 22 and from Manchester. I'm in here for something longterm - not just a fling. How about you?" I asked, smiling as he poured me a glass of champagne.
"I'm 22, I'm a PT and I dabble in modelling. I live down in London. I'd say I'm here to find a girl but not to basically marry myself off straight away."
"So... who's caught your eye in here?" I asked after an awkward moments silence.
"I'd probably say you, Rosie and Samira. You're probably intriguing me the most though. Tell me about you and Alex."
I looked down at that, and frowned. "I don't really know... He kind of flipped earlier and wants to break it off."
"How do you feel about that?" Charlie asked me softly.
"Shit." I told him with a laugh. "But it is what it is I guess. Look, Charlie. You seem like a great guy, but I'm thinking this is just friends - there's so spark for me babe."
*****
"Sam, Charlie wants to take you on a date babe." I told her, smiling at her squeal of excitement as she rushed off.
"It was then revealed that Megan wanted to see Eyal, and Josh Rosie. As they all went to get ready, I walked over to Dani and Jack and smiled as Dani hugged me.
"How was Charlie?" Dani asked with a smile as I sat down.
"He was sweet. But I -"
"Charlotte can we please talk?" I heard Alex ask as he walked upto us.
"What? You have more to say?" I laughed. "You were pretty clear on how you felt this morning Alex."
"Charlotte, please." Alex whispered to me as Dani and Jack walked away.
"What do you want?" I muttered, pulling my legs upto my chest.
Alex took that as an oppurtunity to sit down, and I couldn't help but let my body tense as he placed a hand over my knee.
"I owe you a huge apology. I shouldn't have said any of what I did. I was being stupid, and jealous; and Megan said -"
"Megan said what?" I asked as I whipped my head around to face him.
"Basically about how close you are with Adam, and she made it sound like you were being intimate." He told me, and I couldn't help but let my mouth fall open in shock.
"And you believed her?" I asked, unintentionally raising my voice. "I have been nothing but fucking loyal to you. I can't even talk to a guy without you not liking it. I can't help it if guys fancy me. You're 27 Alex, maybe you ought to start acting like that. I know full well how you feel about Adam, and you had the cheek to say that I deserve someone like him. You're out of order."
"Charlotte, I've known you for a week and I haven't felt this way about a woman in such a long time. I was scared about the possibility of losing you; and I took it out on you in the worst possible way. Please just give me another chance. I don't want this to end." Alex told me, as he crouched on his knees on the floor infront of me.
I sighed as I looked down at him, but smiled slightly as he placed a hand on mine. "I don't know Alex." I whispered as I looked away.
*****
It was coming upto 2am now and we'd all decided to turn in for the night.
As I was still feeling down from mine and Alex's situation, I'd decided to sleep on the couch to try and clear my head.
I thought it would be nice so that I didn't have to see Megan flutter her eyes at Alex - but I did regret that I wouldn't be able to see Josh and Georgia get close.
For the last three dates Charlie had wanted Rosie, Megan had wanted Alex and Josh had picked Georgia. Whilst I was ecstatic for G as she seemed enthralled by Josh, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of her happiness - as it was so soon after my downfall.
I didn't know how to feel about Alex, as I was quite frankly disgusted by that side of him that I had seen. But do I give him the benefit of the doubt? - It would immensely satisfy my feelings for him if I did, so that we could move forward. Finally, what do I do about Adam? Do I give him a shot and risk losing Alex, or do I attempt to let my heart play it safe for once?
A/N
Sorry it's up late. Also, would you guys rather the end result be Charlotte with Alex or Adam? Let me know.
