Soa Charming Novels & Stories

She stomped her feet. "What exactly do you want, Sofia?" I restrained my annoyance. Why did she have to yell all the time? "Just sit here and...Charlene!" She suddenly chirruped and sprang up to meet a girl of her height with an embrace. Charlene? Oh, yes, Charlene, her non-binary friend whose mother was Afro-American. The girl, no, was smartly dressed in a flamingo-pink dress that almost matched Sofia's. Their chestnut hair flopped over their large foreheads. Charlene was a beautiful sight, and Sofia brought them to me.

"Are you sure this plan is going to work, Selena?" Sofia asked, adjusting the strap of her red bikini in front of my bedroom mirror. "Of course it will. What guy could resist the three of you?" I replied, overflowing with confidence. Bella turned to face me as she applied a coat of bright crimson lipstick. "Your stepfather looks like a very high-caliber man. What if he’s actually the loyal type?" "Loyalty is just a concept until temptation walks in, Bel. Just trust me," I said, walking over to the large window that overlooked the backyard swimming pool.

"I haven't heard that name in many years." "Stop. Don't go there." I lifted my eyes from my glass in time to see Charli's golden stare. By the shadows running through it, I knew she now saw what I'd warned her about. Oren Demetri was the devil. "Excuse me," she said. "Is it a bad time for me to return?" I finished the glass of wine, placed it on the table and stood. "No. Your timing is perfect. We're going." Oren stood. "I would so enjoy getting to know you better. It seems that Lennox has other plans."

Charm said before flashing a smile full of her whitened teeth. “Right, let’s go with that,” Reiner replied without hesitation. “What is she like?” Charm asked. “She’s…very hard to handle. She’s very unique and full of contradictions. She’s very selfish but very kind at the same time. She knows what she wants and isn’t scared of going after it. She’s very smart but she can be very ruthless and do stupid things at times. She’s very beautiful…” Reiner said before trailing off. “No buts for that last one, huh? I’m quite amazed that you can say all that with a straight face,” Charm said, clearly impressed as she nodded her head.

And Olivia takes it and says, “That’s not true. Theo is a very charming and people’s person. Haven’t you heard about him in the news?” “I would beg to differ. Because of what I saw, he is not charming. Good and a very balanced person, but charming? Nuh. Because I call this man charming.” I say as I point at Toby. “Maybe you are not that close to Theo. That is why he didn’t show you his carefree personality.” Olivia says, hitting right on my nerve, but I won’t give her satisfaction.

After fifteen minutes of driving, we stop at a very expensive and elegant looking Italian restaurant, called Roberto's. We get out of the parked car and head inside. We are greeted by a hostess dressed in a short pencil foot black skirt and a tight white button down blouse. "Hello, have you made reservations for tonight?" she asks with a wide smile, looking at Xavier. He responds with a nod of his head. "It's under Mr. Black."

Just then, Xena walked in carrying a thermal container. Her eyes landed on the charm in Scott’s hand, and she froze. She recognized it instantly. It was the kind of charm you could only get by kneeling step by step all the way up Sunrise Chapel. Years ago, when Charlotte’s mother Sue had fallen seriously ill, Desmond had made that exact pilgrimage to pray for her and brought back the same kind of charm. But in the end, Sue hadn’t made it. The memory made Xena’s lashes tremble. Her chest tightened with a wave of sadness.

BRUCE Charlotta was a puzzle I couldn’t stop trying to solve. She sat across from me at the restaurant, her red lipstick catching the light as she sipped her water, her eyes darting between the twins’ banter and the harbor view. She played the part of the perfect secretary flawlessly—organized, poised, quick with a smile—but there was something beneath it all, a shadow that kept me on edge. I’d told Harley last night I couldn’t pin it down, but it was there, like a whisper I couldn’t quite hear.

the pretty clerk said with a sweet smile. "Thank you Charlotte, I am very grateful," Sharlynn said. After the clerk named Charlotte went inside, Sharlynn decided to wait on the sofa in the corner of the store. Thirty minutes later, Charlotte came out and called Sharlynn. "We can only give you 17,000 euros. I asked for more, but they kept the price the same," Charlotte said with a disappointed look on her face. "It's okay. It's a fantastic price for what I need for a few months," Sharlynn replied happily.
