Lily felt very nervous when she woke up that morning she barely slept. Her mind was preoccupied with the thought of Betty leaving her, she checked her phone for any messages or calls but to her dismay she found none. she dragged herself to the bathroom. She came out with her towel wrapped around her body, her hair still dripping wet. She jerked when she saw Charles on her bed.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as she shook, gasping her towel so tightly around her so it won't fall.
"Oh sorry...i..."
"Just go" she answered coldly. He nodded and left the room. After she had dried her hair, She put on her blue top with her black jeans, she tied her hair in a bun with strands still left out. She dragged her bag down stairs to meet Charles, the man seemed bothered as he flicked through his phone.
"Any problem?" she asked startling the man.
He shook his head and helped her carry her bag to the car. When they had began to drive you the airport lily noticed that Charles couldn't take his eyes from his phone and the more he stared at his phone the more his brows furrowed.
"Have you spoken with Betty" she asked plainly .
"No" he replied nonchalantly and they both fell silent.
Charles was confused, he had tried Betty's number several times but he still got no response. He dropped his phone as drove his attention on the road.
Lily had a bad feeling about this trip, the atmosphere had turned heavy and the silence was unbearable. Her phone vibrated and she sighed as he brought it out.
"Hey"
"You reached yet?"
"No wendy"
"I'll let you know when we have" she added
"Hmm"
"But you didn't explain why you had to leave for 2 days" she pouted
"I promise i will" lily answered her. The call ended as she slowly drifted her phone beside her. soon they had reached the airport Charles helped her get her load out and they got checked in.
lily Knew it was going to be a very long flight so she packed a lot of foodies. When the plane has began to soar she felt her heart throb painfully as she winced in pain trying to suppress her tears from falling. Charles felt his heart shatter seeing her like this, he squeezed her hand while drying her eyes then he kissed her on the fore head
"Its gonna be alright" he assured her.
She nodded as she laid on his chest and she quietly drifted to sleep.
Charles bought out his phone as he Played with her hair. After many long hours the plane began to land, Charles sought to wake lily up but she stood up and faked a smile. Soon after they were out, Charles boarded a taxi and they drove off to a hotel to spend the night.
They entered the room as lily sat down feeling very tired and hungry, her stomach growled
"Ill get you something to eat" charles said as he made a call.
In less than a minute the food arrived, lily who had just come out of the shower salivated on seeing the food. She dashed towards it as she ate hungrily not minding that charles had been watching her. She paused and looked up
"You want some?"
He smiled and pinched her on her cheeks then he turned to take a bath. Lily had finished the food by the time he was done, When he came out he was bare chest with only his towel wrapped around his lower part. His hair dipped wet, lily fell into a daze that she didn't notice she had been staring at him so hard. He coughed and she jerked back to her present self. He moved to dry his hair,
"Should i help you?" she asked
He nodded as he sat down. The only thing that could be heard was the air from the dryer, Charles had been enjoying the was lily fondled with his hair. He wished this would last a little longer but finally she was done. He turned to her while she smiled sheepishly. He soon out on his clothes and laid on the bed next to her, lily was lost in her thoughts she didn't know when Charles had laid beside her.
"Earth to lily" and she jerked
He cupped her face as he kissed her forehead. She laid on his chest and slowly drifted to sleep. Charles knew she loved to lay on his. He just wished that this was how they would be forever
"Forever" he muttered as he succumbed to sleep.
