《Charlotte & the Seven Frat Brothers: The Interns (Book 2)》18 (Part 1)
Advertisement
You know the feeling you get when you know you did something wrong...but don't want to admit it. That's me right now. Well, that has been me all morning. Miguel made it very clear that if he finds out I let Jasper in the apartment he had some colorful words for me. Technically I didn't let him in. He waited in the hallway. I don't know if I should have come all the way upstate with Jasper. I just really wanted to know more about the Tucker family—well more than what Google has told me. So, when Jasper invited me to lunch with his parents I said why not.
I thought about telling the guys but I knew they wouldn't understand.
The drive upstate was awkward, to say the least. Jasper barely said much to me. We listened to the radio majority of the drive. Two hours without actually having a conversation wasn't fun. I think I took about two naps. We reached his parent's home and I didn't think I could get out the car fast enough. I just wanted to be near other people, who would actually speak.
There are two more cars out front, probably belonging to his parents. So he didn't lie when he said they will both be here. Before entering the house he tells me that his father can be a bit of an asshole and not to take what he said seriously. Well, that is easier said than done. Jasper opens the front door allowing me to go in first and I see Chase walk by.
I freeze.
What.
The.
Hell.
"Cupcake?"
"Hi." I wave awkwardly. Oh, this is bad...real bad.
"Whose cupcake?" Jasper walks in, standing off to the side. Looking at Chase and me. I don't have a lie on the tip of my tongue, so I am just going to stay quiet on this one. Chase opens his mouth to speak, but I beautiful baby girl about four years old comes running into the foyer screaming dada—at Jasper.

"Hey princess," he picks her up, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Have you been good to Nana?"
She nods her head yes. Austin comes crawling into the foyer I'm assuming he was playing with the baby. He stops mid crawl when he sees Jasper, but his eyes get wide when he sees me. I toss my head back coming to the realization that all the guys are here. Counting to ten slowly I look back at Chase and he is pissed off. Austin stands up and greets me.
"Hi to you too Austin, question are you all here?" I just need reassurance to what I already know.
"Yeah," he drags out. "I'm going to go back in the living room." He steps back slowly.
"I'll come with you." I rush out, walking quickly towards him. I didn't want to be left alone with Jasper or Chase and I definitely didn't want to explain the whole cupcake thing.
"Not so fast," Chase grabs my elbow and steers me in the other direction. "We need to talk."
Jasper looks torn between wanting to follow us and staying with his child. I can't believe he has a child. Holy hell.
"What do you think you're doing?" he whisper-yells at me once we make it into the kitchen. "Why are you with my brother?"
"First of all let me go," I snatch my arm away from him. "Secondly, it shouldn't matter what I do and who I do it with. You lied to me and—"
"Charles cut the shit. What I did doesn't compare or even come close to this shit. The guys are right about one thing...you keep putting your nose in shit it has no business being in."
"Excuse me!?"

"You heard me Charlotte, you keep doing this. Why did you come here?" He steps closer to me. "Do you like to see me stress out and worried about you? I told you my family isn't the Brady Bunch. Why are you doing this?"
"Because Chase you won't give me answers. How are we supposed to get married one day and I don't know anything about you or your family. Huh? Tell me how? You can't because you want to keep this mysterious thing going about yourself." I close the space between us.
"That's a stupid reason." He lifts my chin and kisses me deeply. "God I miss you." He whispers on my lips.
You remember me saying earlier, you know the feeling you get when you know you did something wrong...but don't want to admit it. That's me right now. Hell, that's me and Chase right now. Making out in his parents' kitchen with everyone home is the worst thing right now. I want to break the kiss, but I miss him just as much.
"Chase," I moan as he begins to kiss my neck.
"Ace! Whatcha doing?"
The sound of the little girl's voice has me shook. I know who is behind us and I'm not sure how much he has heard. I'm starting to believe in that saying what happens in the dark will come to light. Chase takes a step back and I just stay still, I can't turn around. This is not how I wanted Jasper to find out. But really what did I expect I am having a full-on make-out session in their parent's kitchen.
"Hey there Princess." Chase disappears behind me and I'm sticking to my word of not turning around. I take interest in the kitchen now. Beautifully decorated and everything.
"Oh Jasper sweetie, I didn't think you were going to make it. Ah, I see you invited a friend." Oh crap, that must be his mother.
Please floor just open up and swallow me now.
"Actually, this is Chase's friend or should I say, fiancé. Charlotte, why don't you turn around and say hello to our mother." Jasper's voice is cold and I don't have to see his face to know he is pissed off.
"Oh Chase, fiancé hmm?" their mother doesn't sound mad but not happy either.
Slowly I turn around and smile. My smile probably looks like Wednesday Addams' creepy smile. Their mother looks me up and down at least twice before taking a step back. I slowly stop smiling and wave hi.
"Lily?" she quickly wipes her eyes. "Did I die and this is all a dream? Oh hell, I must be dead." She starts to panic and starts to question myself too. Does that mean I'm dead or am I dreaming all of this?
"No mother you are very much alive. This is Charlotte Withers, my fri—my fiancé. She resemblance Lily because" he pauses. "That's her cousin." Chase just dropped a bomb and I think I am not ready. This can't be happening. I would know if I had a cousin name Lily that I look like. My parents have never mentioned a Lily at all. I think back to holidays and nope no Lily. The room fills like its closing in on me as its spinning and everything fades to black.

8 162Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.

8 132Rain Revert (Reboot)
Since I've finished writing Fantasial Apocalypse, I was planning on continuing Rain Revert. However, an unexpected accident occurred, and my drafts for it disappeared...to oblivion... I even forgot what and where should I go with the story, and what do I do with it. Hence, I decided to do it again from the beginning.
