“Your new apartment is great!” Charlie’s sister complimented. Charlie gave her sister a virtual tour of the new place through a video call. It was late at night, but she was pumped up. She could not sleep!“I know, it’s clean and spacious. I guess it’s worth $3000. Haha!”“Pfft,” her sister, Freya,

“What is there to think about?” Charlie asked, her face reddened from frustration. “I don’t know. I just want us to think this thoroughly, Charlie Blondie,” Taylor said. He checked the time and said, “If I don’t leave, I will be late for class.”Taylor got up, threw his backpack over his shoulders,
At the condo, Charlie and Taylor sat in their seats, staring at each other. Both of them were clearly second-guessing the situation.“I still can’t believe I ended up in this mess,” Charlie muttered. “You are the worst possible roommate I could ever have.”“Really?” Taylor reacted. “This is given yo

All in all, they made love five times, which was already an achievement considering they had gone swimming that morning.Taylor was still on top of Charlie, breathing heavily, his length still inside her.“Fuck, you’re so wet inside, Babe,” Taylor hissed as he got up. “Don’t get up. We need to make
Months passed again.“Guess what, Charlie?” Tristan said. “I’m going to be a coach at Luxford’s very first summer camp for the Luxford Rehabilitation & Wellness Institute (LRWI)!”LRWI was a government-funded rehabilitation center for children with learning and physical disabilities. They offered fr
“Tell us!” they all said at the same time.“He’s somebody from work,” Mia shared. “He’s a PR specialist. He’s really funny!”Mia worked for a local TV station. Her job was challenging because of the high marketing demands, but despite that, Mia said she loved her work.“Funny is good,” Charlie said,

“Are you sure about this? Are you absolutely sure about this?” Adrian asked Charlie one last time. “There’s no rush. We have all day.”Charlie’s face turned grim. She fought the urge to roll her eyes. “Dad, Taylor, and I are already married. This wedding is just for formality’s sake. You made us sig
It screamed proposal!In the middle of dinner, Taylor reached for his pocket. 'This is it. This is it!' Yet again, Charlie thought.However, he pulled out… fresh mints."Want one, Babe?" he asked.Inner Devil: 'I'm going to kill him.' Inner Devil 2: 'Me too. Let me out. Let me out!'"No! I don't w
Charlie was grinning while taking notes. She bit her lip, trying hard to contain her happiness over the fact that she and Taylor were already married.It was a Monday afternoon, and Charlie was in her master's class. "I'll give you a few minutes to take notes before we proceed with the next topic."
