At high speed from the slope, there was a guy on a bike. Charlotte walked a little ahead and to the right of Jacey. She had already plugged in the earphones from the Walkman Mary had given her, in honor of the move and the fact that she had never used anything like it before. Although for Mary this was the habitual thing. These were given to her by distant relatives for Christmas or birthday. The amazing thing is that all of them were almost identical.
It occurred to jasey that Charlotte might not have heard the sound of the approaching Bicycle. The guy almost pulled up and was about to hit her. But Casey reacted with lightning speed( almost like a superhero, yeah yeah) and grabbed the girl's waist, drawing to itself. The bike sped past and almost crashed into the shop, but managed to brake. Jacey breathed a sigh of relief, and Charlotte's earpiece fell out, the line"But I couldn't live without you..."from the song Anna Blue "Blind eyed". Casey not arbitrarily squeezed Charlotte even more.
"Oh, sorry! Couldn't brake in time. Oh, Charlotte! Is that you?- Thomas was on the bike.
- Are you looking where you're going?! You almost hit her! Thomas...
- Oh... Sorry, man, it just happened...
"What happened?"? She could have broken something because of you!
- Jasey! Are you turned on? It's all right, calm down... Charlotte asked.
"I'm sorry, Charlotte.
Charlotte smiled faintly.
- Why are you defending him? Jacey stepped in front of Charlotte and blocked her view of Thomas.
"Why are you on his side and not mine?" You could have been hurt.
Charlotte was a little shocked.
- Well. Come on. See you, Thomas. She took Jacey's hand and turned the corner. After that turn, she could see her house. They walked in silence for a while. Then Charlotte stopped. Jasey closed his eyes, not knowing what he expected. Cry? Strike? Why, though? All these thoughts jumbled together in his mind, and he braced himself for the worst. But suddenly he felt something warm on his chest, then wrapped around his back. He opened his eyes and realized she was hugging him. That's exactly what he hadn't expected.
Around silence... In just two houses they would have been there. But Jacey was in no hurry. He wrapped his arms around her waist in response and pulled her close. Charlotte's hair smelled of homemade cakes and cinnamon. And shirt Gasea as always, watermelon. "Sweetly...they thought at the same time. The first red leaves were slowly falling on their heads...

- Thank You... after a long silence, Charlotte said something for the first time. He shuddered.
"No one's ever been so worried about me, thank you."..- he thought, that perhaps succumbing to emotions she cries. But Charlotte lifted her little face, which was smiling kindly.
- Go. We're almost there. Charlotte opened the door. No one was home. Margaret must still be at work ( she now works in her good friend's flower shop, although she is an architect by training. But vacancies on a permanent job was not, although the money orders to her were enough to feed not only themselves but also Charlotte. So Charlotte didn't understand what she was doing. As Margaret herself had told her, she was very fond of flowers, and it bored her to sit at home alone.) Entering the house Jasa understands how Charlotte this sweet and enticing smell of baking with cinnamon. It permeated the whole house, mixed with the smell of tulips.
Three o'clock. Tea time. Charlotte offers a Cup to Jacey. He sits down at the faintly orange-lit table. Charlotte begins to make tea. Jasey watches her deft and well-coordinated movements.
- Sugar?
"No, thank you." Charlotte set the mug in front of him and sat down at the table. They have nowhere to hurry and Charlotte can safely watch as strawberry red tea dissolves. First a faint pink, then darker and now bright crimson. She sipped her tea and closed her eyes blissfully.
- Tasty?
"Try it yourself." He sipped.
"It's really good." there was an awkward silence in the room. A few minutes ago he had held her in his arms and now they were sitting drinking tea. Charlotte looked quite calm, completely absorbed in the magic of the tea. And Jacey was worried about what it meant, " no one's ever been so worried about me..."
"Where are your parents?"
Charlotte sipped her tea nervously. In all the turmoil of human life, she had forgotten what a star was and what her goals were. It reminded her of her mother's tragic death. She doesn't even remember it, but some fragments of the past came back to her. She only remembered that she had very gentle hands and she loved to sing. The memory saddened her. Jasey noticed this and thought she must have a bad relationship with her parents. That would explain everything.
- Driven...
"I live with my aunt." Aunt Margaret.
This is what works in a flower shop and has 6 cats?
- There are only 3! Charlotte said in a slightly reproachful and funny voice. Casey laughed. At this very moment on his lap jumped the noble red cat and started to purr. From under the table crawled out even two cats. One is black and white, the other grey. They began to RUB their heads on his legs and mew, occasionally purring.
You know, they loved it - Said Charlotte while laughing. She sipped her tea quietly.
"strange, indeed.
"Or mint in your tea."..- told her in a whisper casually Charlotte.
"What did you say?"?
"Nothing at all. He stood up and tickled Charlotte.
- Speak! Or tickle you to death!
"No, please don't!" there were even little tears in her eyes. The chair on which sat Charlotte began to wobble all stronger and stronger. Until he began to fall. Charlotte grabbed Jacey's neck, and He grabbed her around the waist.
Oh! He dropped his hands and Charlotte fell to the carpet-covered floor, which cushioned her fall a little. She was on the floor laughing.
"Could you hold me, or am I that heavy?" He scratched his head, embarrassed. Then he held out his hand to Charlotte to stand.
- So. We're here for your stuff.
- Exactly. I'll run. You can come up with me if you want. Casey alert. As they say in the movie " 10 reasons for my hatred," " the girl's room is very personal." Well, she wasn't. They went up the stairs. Their briefcase was ready at the door.
"Oh, right, I have to change." Wait here. The door slammed. Charlotte's changing. Jacey's in the hallway. The end. But he could relax, Jase thought.
"Of course she wasn't going to show me her room.he sighed and banged his head against the door.
- Ouch! Fuck!
"Is something wrong?" Charlotte's voice came from the room.
No! Everything's in order...
"All right. I'm leaving. Charlotte came out in a plaid sundress and sneakers. She looked damn cute.
- nicely....- flew out of the mouth Casa. Charlotte didn't hear him.
- Aw, shoot! I'm probably going to freeze, it is autumn. she went back into the room and came out a few minutes later. She was wearing a green shirt dress, green - and-mustard-striped tights, and a mustard beret. Also, the ears are very cute hanging earrings in the form of autumn leaves. That was even cuter than the last one. In conclusion, while they were down she braided two braids. Jasey couldn't help but speak louder this time.
- Very sweet. then he covered his mouth as he realized he'd spoken aloud. Charlotte's ears turned slightly red and she smiled. Then they left the house and went to Jasey's house. It was a twenty-minute walk from here. Casey began to get more nervous, not only about what happened but also because of the upcoming. And Charlotte Seemed to be getting the gist of it.
Thank you for attention!
That's the end of the story!
