Chapter 7: Love
" Ken, why did she call you the Devil?" Charlotte asked curiously after we left the building.
"Probably best that you know sooner. I'll pick you up at 6pm. It's easier if you meet my parents. " I suggested to her before realizing what she could have mistaken it for. She ran off in excitement almost immediately, after taking a few paces forwards it dawned on me, she was already gone. " Ah...Crap!" I thought, and quickly dialed home to let my parents know that I was coming back with a guest tonight.
17.45
I went down to Charlotte's room, there she was dressed in a long deep wine red v necked evening dress, her blond hair in a neat high bun, revealing her fair skin. "Charlotte, you look stunning. Ahem...you...I think you look great in that dress." I choked on my words as I tried to compliment her. She smiled and giggled, it's lit up my insides, a feeling I have forgotten.
" Are we going to stand here the whole night or shall we make a move?" She jabbed me lightly in the ribs. I escorted her to the car and ushered her in. " We will be there in an hour. Buckle up, safety first." I informed Charlotte while trying to not stare at her.
I revved up my matte black Hellcat Redeye and headed towards the family estate. "So, you are not only a powerful magician, but also rich?" Charlotte asked as she slides her hand over the dashboard.
" I'm not rich."
"Really? Could you perhaps explain you having a family estate?"
"My family is rich, not me."
"What else are you hiding behind that mask of yours?"
" I don't wear masks."
" Sure. Just a man of many faces. You know, you can't hide forever. You may not have slipped up yet, but you will screw up once in s while. "
" We are here." I informed her as we drove past the gates.
"This is just some plain old woods. If you are trying to kidnap me, you have to try a lot harder. "
" Sorry princess, but you are already mine. " I responded to get sarcastic comment with a grim tone. " I win. The car has a magic jamming spell and you have no signal out here. " I responded with my best evil smile after giving her a whole fake plan to capture her and to take advantage of her.
Tears started welling in her eyes as she kept quiet, staring at the road as I speed up the mountain to the family estate's main mansion.
I pulled the car over at the front yard as some of the servants ran over to help with anything they could.
"Sir, the mistress is awaiting for you at the main hall." the figure bowed before me before moving to open the passenger door. " What shall I do with your weeping angel? "
" Aida, please send her to the room. And get her some hot tea while you are at it. Mother would kill me if she sees this lovely young lady in such a terrible state. "
" Yes sir. Right away. " The servant responded as she supported Charlotte's shaking body to the guest room.
I walked into the main hall to see my Aunt Jean. "Another victim of your terrible humor?" She asked in a joking manner. " Anyways, you always have a bad habit of arriving late. "
"It's not late, just fashionably behind time." I decided to play asking with the light mood.
