At 8'0 clock , Gabriella has prepared to go meet Charles, but then she can't leave without her mom knowing. No matter how much she hates her mom, she still respects her...sometimes.
She went downstairs to find her mom in the kitchen making dinner.
" what are you doing?" Gabriella asked
" I'm making dinner, where are you going like that?"
" what's wrong with this, it's what I like"
" it's too big, why don't you dress like a lady?" her mom asked
" I don't care what you think mom. I'm going out" Gabriella hissed
" don't come back after curfew" Her mom said
" whatever. I'll come back when I feel like it" Gabriella said and walked out
"what's the point of making dinner then?" Her mom asked as her phone rang, it was Tom." Uh...hello"
" Uh.. hi, Valentine"
" Tom?, how'd you get my number?"
" I took it from a church staff. Um... are you home?"
" yeah?...why?"
" are you busy?"
" no I'm very free "
" well then I'll need you to open the door for me"
" what?"
" open the door?" Tom said as Valentine opened the door and found Tom standing there looking as handsome as ever. She totally forgot everything as soon as she saw him
" Valentine?" Tom called poking her cheeks" can I come in?"
" yeah, sure . Do come in" she said still gazing
" Thank you"
" uhm...what would you like to have?"
" water would do" Tom said looking around the house
" sure"
" the house is still as I remember, still as I remember "
" here " Valentine said handing him a glass of water
" thank you" He said picking up a picture of Gabriella " she's grown up now"
" that's her 13 years old birthday picture"
" what?...how old is she now?" he asked pinching his chin trying to remember
" let's say 17"
" I thought she was 15" he said grinning looking at Valentine lovingly" so?, where's the remote?"
"what do you wanna watch?"
" me?... you mean us right?. We're watching a movie together "
" I..."
" you are not going to say no are you" he asked with an eyebrow up
" no...."
" you just said it"
" no I..."
" and you said it again" he said teasingly
" fine, let's watch a movie" she said and sat down beside him ... a little farther. He pulled her closer to him and smelt her neck
" still hasn't changed" he whispered dreamingly as she just blushed
"whatever, just start the movie" she said pretending
" Alright then
Meanwhile, at Mac Donald's, Charles and Gabriella have just been eating without saying anything, until Charles decided to talk first
" " so what did you want to discuss with me?" He asked
" huh?. Nothing, I just wanted to leave my house"
" No wonder ,I smelt a rat" Charles said as Gabriella let out a breathy laugh
" why are you with your guitar?" Gabriella asked trying to sound like she was suspecting him
" you smell a rat too?" he asked eyes wide open
"oh my God!!!. is that not Charles Winston?" a girl squealed
" oh my!!! it's Charles Winston" Another girl screamed
" um..let's go somewhere else, Gabriella " Charles said panic written all over his face
" why?"
" I love you Charles Winston " the first girl said running towards him
" Uh oh" Charles said and pulled Gabriella out
" wait for me, Charles Winston." the girl said as she and some other fan girls ran after them
" I don't understand what's happening?. Are you also a criminal?" Gabriella asked still running" I'm suspecting you for real this time"
" I'm not a criminal, let's go to the park . We'd be able to find security "
" sure, Mr criminal musician" Gabriella said as they turned towards the park
" I have his guitar" a girl screamed excitedly " ohhh his scent I'd all over it" she said daydreaming."
" give it to me, I love him more" a girl said pouncing on the girl with the guitar catching her off guard
" no let me have it" another girl said getting into the fight
" where's you guitar, Charles?" Gabriella asked as they reached the park
" my gui...oh" he said forming an "o" with his mouth
" I'm sorry"
" it was my favourite." he said painfully
" it looks like its going to rain soon. Let's find a shade" Gabriella said pointing at a tree.
After 2 hours of heavy downpour
" what do you think happened to those girls?" Gabriella asked
" I don't know" Charles shrugged still thinking about his guitar
" I'm cold" Gabriella shivered as Charles covered them both with his huge scarf
" I need to find a car" Gabriella said standing up to go find a car
" the streets are empty, you won't find anything" Charles said standing up to pull her back
" let me just try, I'm sure I'll..." Gabriella said as Charles pulled her closer to his chest holding her waist, gazing into her eyes. She didn't want to look at him but she couldn't. She was lost in his eyes.
" miss Gabriella " Kim, Gabriella's personal driver called but no answer. She was still lost in his gaze, his face a few inches away from hers
"miss Gabriella you need to get in, it's raining heavily" Kim yelled cutting them off
" oh..." Gabriella whined entering her car wet from rain
" Mr Charles, please get in" Kim said" I was asked to take you home too"
" and who asked you to do so?"
" Mrs Blue"
" fine, only because she asked you to and I don't want to disturb my driver" he said entering
" here's a towel for you Mr Charles, we're out of towels Miss Gabriella " Kim said
" no problem, we'll share it, right?" Charles said grinning looking at Gabriella
" sure" Gabriella said as he went closer to her and covered them both. Gabriella was smiling so wide, it looked like if she tried to talk her face would tear. Unknowingly to her, Charles was watching
" am I too warm?" He asked concerned
" no your just so perfect... I mean your temperature is perfect" she stuttered
" alright then. I think you like me?"
" excuse me?"
" I was only thinking" He said and raised his hands in the air like he was surrendering
" you were thinking to loud then " Gabriella said face palming herself
