Charlie

I was livid. She may have only been sharing lunch with Josh but in my mind she was naked and fucking him on the break room table.

I realised then that I'd never escape him if I were with her, he'd always hold a piece of her that I'd never obtain.

I stood in the doorway, watching her dig her fork into his food as if she were digging it deep into my heart. Then Josh has the audacity to ask if I want to join them, thinking I'd be happy sharing her with him.

I wanted to pick him up and t

    Charlie“Mum, Dad, this is my…boyfriend,” Nortica timidly announces, putting space between us. My strong, confident girl is just a shadow of herself as she stands before her parents, her face flushed. I don't understand what she has to be embarrassed about, we were just kissing. “Boyfriend?” her father spits out as if the word is poison in his mouth. He stares at me like I'm the dog shit that is smeared under his shoe. I'm sure we’ve just got off to a bad start but I know I can turn this around. I broker deals for a living, I can win two fruit shop owners over. “Charlie Elemore,” I formally introduce myself, holding out my hand to Mr Middleton but he doesn't shake it. “How long has this been going on for?” Mrs Middleton asks her daughter, ignoring me completely. “Not long,” Nortica admits, her voice trembling like she's in trouble. “A few weeks,” I add, wanting to take the heat off my Goddess. “You’ve been carrying on with this man for a few weeks and you didn’t think to tell

    My stomach had been doing backflips all morning. It wasn't that I thought it was too early in our relationship for Charlie to meet my parents; that was just my excuse to him. Truth is, I never told them I was dating, not even when I was with Josh. Today isn’t just hard launching Charlie as my boyfriend to them, it will be the first time they meet any man I date. I thought I'd be able to keep these two worlds separate but I slipped up when I mentioned Dad’s birthday lunch and quickly realised I wouldn't be able to hide it from Charlie if it was at Rowan’s restaurant. “I have some rules you need to follow today,” I pre-warned Charlie over breakfast, pushing my scrambled eggs around my plate as I contemplated how to tackle the mountain. “Oh, I do love your rules baby,” He replies, smiling widely and wiggling his eyebrows. “No, none of that,” I panic, knowing where he thinks this is leading. “No being suggestive or even alluding to the fact that you've seen me naked.”“You want me to

    CharlieThere was never any doubt in my mind that my friends wouldn't admire my girl as much as I do. Watching them laugh and share stories with her, as if they'd known her forever, felt like I'd finally found that missing piece from my life. As you get older, there's a lot of pressure to settle down, start dating, and find the one. For so long, I'd blocked the pressure from reaching me and lived my life completely the opposite of what was expected of me. I liked the freedom that being single gave me to get up and leave whenever I wanted. No strings, no commitments, just endless sex with whoever I wanted. I watched my friends get into relationships and wonder why they'd allow themselves to be trapped. I didn’t get it but now I do. My mother always said that when I met the right one then everything would change. I thought it was just something she was peddling to push me into settling down but I've come to learn that the statement is true. As I sat and listened to her talk to my f

    Charlie wouldn't allow me to help cook dinner, no matter how much I insisted. I felt bad that he was going to all this effort just for me, and I wasn't allowed to enter the kitchen; instead, I was told to get ready and relax. Relaxing was a nice thought but I was a bundle of nerves. I was going to meet the most influential people in Charlie’s life and I was so scared they wouldn't like me. What if they thought I was just after his money or deemed me not classy enough? What if they judge me for dating my boss? They could think that I’m just using him to get ahead in the industry. Tonight was pivotal, one false move and it could change the way Charlie feels about me. I pushed for this; I wanted so badly to be part of his world, and now I was so scared I was going to ruin everything. I turned on the shower and stepped under the cascading water hoping that the steady stream could wash my fears away. “Good evening Charlie,” the AI assistant triggered, frightening me.“Not Charlie,” I

    CharlieThe water crashed around my body but it couldn't wash away my stupidity. I was going to lose the best thing I ever had, all because I fucked up in my past. I hated myself for hurting her, to see those tears that rolled down her cheeks, knowing I was the cause of them. I was also angry at her for wanting to use me as some kind of prize to hold over Francesca. I leaned back against the shower wall and squeezed my eyes shut, willing myself to just wake up from this nightmare. “Email from River Reality, would you like me to read it to you?” my AI assistant announces, reminding me that I had sent an enquiry out about Nortica’s house to her real estate agent. “No,” I groan, bitter at the interruption. I can't even shower in peace. “Display on screen.”Dear Mr Elemore,Thank you for your interest in 23 Hausman Drive, Somerset. To answer your questions, the house was built in 1996 and has been renovated once. (kitchen and bathroom both updated in 2005).I put your offer to the ow

    “Nortica, wait!” Charlie called out to me as I fled from him, not even sure where I was headed. “You’re ashamed to be with me so I'm just making life easier for you,” I yell back at him, growing angrier by the second. I thought Francesca was just trying to get under my skin yesterday, making me feel like I would never be good enough for Charlie, I had no idea he actually thought this too.I cross the street, to the beach, trying to outrun him but the sand slows me down. Charlie catches up to me and I feel his hand grab my arm, stopping me from running. “I’m not ashamed of you baby, I love you,” He says. I want to believe him but his actions speak louder than those words. “You love me but you want to keep our relationship a secret from your friends,” I call him out. “I get it, being with the destitute girl embarrasses you.”Hot tears fill my eyes and run down my cheeks. I'd normally try to hide my pain from him but right now I want him to know how much he's hurt me. He wipes a ru
