Author POV
"What's happening here?". Alexander demanded with an authoritative voice .
"Nothing much. He just asked for my contact".
"And you wanna give it to him?". He asked, getting more furious.
"Yeah... do you have any problem with that". She asked with furrowing her brows.
"Many problems with it. Don't give him".
"Alex..so because of your envy,you have been bad mouthing me?". Josh asked, also getting annoyed.
There is gonna be a fight sooner. Charlotte thought. "It's alright Alex. me just give him". Charlotte said.
"No..you're not gonna give him". Some people are now looking at them. Alex dragged Charlotte to the car.
"Do you even realise what you were about to do?". Alex asked Charlotte angrily.
"What I was about to do? What's wrong with giving him my contact?".
"Why would you give him?".
"It's none of your business Alex. Last I checked you told me to stay away from you. My life is none of your damn business. It's my choice. I can decide whether to give him the number or not. You are making me look as if I'm a kid in front of him. If this is what you mean by you will protect me then I guess I don't need your protection. Stop being too nosy as if you're my boyfriend". She retorted angrily.
"So this is it. You're now fighting me because of him".
"Whatever. You are too nosy for my liking. You are not my mom neither are you my brother so let each of us mind our businesses. I can fight for myself".
"I'm sor"
"You can keep the apology". She snapped facing the road. Alex never realised she might not like him being nosy.
They got home and Charlotte headed for her room. She showered and spent some minutes scrolling through her Instagram.
"Hi". It was a message from Josh.
"What's up? I'm sorry for Alexander's behaviour". She messaged.
"No problem, he is only trying to be a protective brother".
"Why?".
"Because I'm a player"
"What!..what do you mean".
"Well...everyone in that class is every girls' dream so we play and dump girls. Maybe he was thinking ``I will play and dump you I guess".
"Is Alex also a player?".
"Yep...a badass at that. He is the cutest among us all". Cuteness my left toe. She thought.
"Can I ask a question?".
"Yeah.. sure. What's that?".
"Who is Rose to him?".
"Well...he told me I should keep it secret. We might not be on good terms now but I swore not to tell anyone...so I'm sorry I can't tell you".
"Oh..okay".
"Being his sister..if you guys are close, you should know Rose".
"I will ask him later. Bye for now". She ended the conversation and threw her phone angrily on the bed. What could be the secret? She thought.
"Oh! I almost forgot". She said and left for the maids quarters. All of them were all bowing and she just rolled her eyes in her head. Hypocrites.
"Hi Bella". She beamed.
"We need to talk, let's go to the mansion". She said and they left surprising the other maids. Apparently most of them are jealous.

"Thanks for the offer Charlotte but no. I'm working so you don't need to bother". Charlotte just told her about mum accepting Alicia to live with her.
"I'm taking her as a sister, not someone who needs help babe. I need someone whom I can share my opinions with. I've told mum already and she agreed. Please Bella allow her". She pleaded.
"Hmm...okay. thanks so much Charlotte". She hugged her tight.
"Aww.. I'm flattered. We can go now and pick her, I can't wait to see her". Charlotte said enthusiastically and Bella smiled.
"Chill baby... I will need to seek her permission first". She said,
"Okay". Charlotte said sadly, making Bella chuckle.
Let's go tell her now.
*****
"So what do you say Alicia?". They told her everything.
"Well... I would like to leave this hell hole I called a house and a monster I called a father". She said with pure hatred.
"We can go together now. Quickly pack whatever you think you're gonna need". Charlotte said and she nodded.
"Let's leave a message for dad or what do you think?". Alicia asked.
"He might soon be here, let's hurry". Immediately they walked out and saw him backing them.
"Run! Run! That's dad". Bella and Alicia said the same time and the three ran to a covered place.
"That was close". Alicia said, breathing heavily.
"Hi ma'am". They were startled.
"Sir Alexander said I should pick you guys up. He said you are ignoring his call". The man said and she scoffed and saw his missed call.
"Go tell him we don't need his free ride". She said, getting furious.
"Chill girl...did you guys fight?". Bella asked, looking at Charlotte suspiciously.
"I will explain to you when we get home or in the car. Let's just go with the cab".

"He is only trying to protect you". Bella chuckled. They were now at home.
"Protect my left toe. He's making me look like I'm one year old". Charlotte scoffed.
"How would you like your fancy fifteen to be like". Charlotte asked Ashley.
"Fantastic! Snap different pictures, do plenty of shopping,maybe go to the beach.."
"How come you opened to Charlotte. You used to be shy". Bella inquired in astonishment. She's still surprised she gave in to Charlotte at her first proposal to start living with her.
"Well...even myself, I'm surprised. I just like her I guess".
"Awwwn...I'm lovable". She fanned herself.
"Yes you are". Alicia said, hugging her.
"I can't be left out". Bella said joining the hug.
"Our birthday is gonna be a blast. We will be going shopping next week. Mum will soon be here". Charlotte said.
"I just hope she's gonna like me". Alicia said.
"She will". Charlotte reassured.
"Knock! Knock! Knock". Alexander said coming inside the room.
"Oh! You must be Alicia... Bella's sis right?".
"Yes sir".
"I never asked you to come in. Get out". Charlotte rolled her eyes.
"Common..I'm sorry. I didn't realise I was bothering you".
"Will not forgive you". She frowned
"Alicia, can you help me plead with her?".
"Charlotte pleaseee. Forgive him". Alicia gave her cute puppy eyes.
"Fine..can you get out now?".
