"Donald, will you just sit there and watch Jasmine eat everything?"She asked, looking at him. Donald stared at Charlotte for a long time admiring every feature in her. That piercing eyes and welcoming lips. It hurts Charlotte is still keeping his proposal hanging.
"Donald!". She shouted and he snapped out of his reverie.
"Jaz can you..." he stopped his word when it dawned on him Jasmine had finished the scrambled egg. Donald looked back at Charlotte whose eyes were already watery. He hugged her and she sobbed on his shoulders.
"Don't worry I will get you another one". He said and she nodded like a child. He went to the kitchen and started beating two eggs.
"Let me guess, you are on your period".Jasmine whispered and she shrieked.
"That confirms it...no wonder you are acting like a one year old". She said,
"Just leave me the hell alone Jaz". She warned and she laughed out loud.
"Sorry Charlotte but your boyfriend is there to take good care of you". Charlotte's heart raced at her word. As Charlotte was about to reply to her, Donald came in with the scrambled egg in a tray.
"Enjoy". He said smiling and Charlotte blushed a little.
"Thanks". she said and collected it. She heard Jasmine and she just decided to keep quiet. Jasmine took the camera from where it had been hidden.
"Why are you recording?". Donald asked dryly, looking at her suspiciously.
"Can you guys say hi to your fans?.. I've been recording since I entered". Jasmine said and Charlotte covered her face like a child.
"Hi guys and on behalf of Charlotte I'm saying hi". Donald said waving and many comments started popping immediately Donald started speaking.
" I love you Donald".
"Oh my gee he is so cute".
"I love your voice".
"Common Charlotte, say hi to your fans". Jasmine whispered smiling.
'I will so much kill this girl called Jasmine when she is done with the damn video'. Charlotte thought but nevertheless she still forced a smile on and waved at the camera. Only Donald and Jasmine knew that smile wasn't genuine because messages started popping again.
"I think Donald is in love with Charlotte".
"Don't you think they will make a lovely couple?".
Different comments started popping. "So guys did you notice anything well I think Donald is in love with Charlotte or what do you think?".
Comment started pooping again.
I see love in his eyes. They will make a perfect couple".
"Donald, go for your love". They continued sending comments.
"Donald, do you have anything to say to your fans?". Jasmine asked. He looked at Charlotte and faced the camera.
"Well guys it's left to Charlotte.. she's the one keeping my proposal pending guys". He wanted to say but said something else instead.
"I'm sorry guys but don't you think that is too personal?". He said and they agreed through the comments.
"We've come to the end of this video, love you guys bye". Jasmine said and then ended the video. She laughed till she fell down from the couch.
"Okay what the hell just happened I knew you were in love with her. The way you stare at her says it all but did you ask her out?". Jasmine said and Donald covered his face shyly.
"The feeling is killing that Charlotte hasn't given me answers". He said and raked his hands in his head frustratedly.
"You can't predict all girls Donald". Jasmine said, trying to Console him.
"Tell me Jasmine, is there anything missing in my life that you think Charlotte hates". Donald asked.
"To be sincere Donald, to me you are perfect... we have lived together for months but like I said not all girls are predictable". She said,
"Does Charlotte have feelings for me?". He asked Jasmine.
"It's hard to say because she's keeping your proposal pending". Jasmine said. She has also noticed it. It seems Charlotte loves him but can't comprehend why Charlotte is still keeping his proposal pending.
"Anyway I will be waiting for her till she accepts my proposal". He said putting on the television. Just then Charlotte entered the sitting room holding a mop stick. She was wearing a purple top with small trousers. Jasmine ran out laughing hard. Charlotte followed her outside with the mop stick and began chasing her around the house.
"Seems your menstrual cramps are gone". Jasmine said laughing. Donald came out smiling.
"Of course it is gone". Charlotte said but winced out in pain .
"Ouch". She winced again when she felt a greater pain and found herself falling. She closed her eyes waiting for her bums to land on the tiled floor. She fell but didn't hit her butts on the tiles. She opened her eyes and found Donald holding her tight by her waist. She stared into his eyes and was the same as Donald. It seems like the air stopped for the number of seconds in which they were staring at themselves.
"Nice couples". Jasmine beamed taking pictures of them and they released themselves abruptly. Donald was happy because he was really sure what he saw in Charlotte's eyes was not just ordinary stairs.
"Thanks". Charlotte said and went in.
"Gosh! my heart still beats for Donald". She said, touching her chest.
"You should just give him a chance". Her subconscious told her.
"All men are the same, have you forgotten what David did?". Another said.
"That's true ain't giving love a chance for now".
"So you have once been heart broken, you really have a lot of Secrets don't you?". Jasmine said, startling her.
"So you think I'm gonna be like Dave? Common Charlotte stops acting like a kid". Donald said, raking his finger through his hair frustratedly.
"Oh please Donald you guys should just leave me alone". Charlotte said and went upstairs.

"So what do you think Charlotte... I will be going for surgery in India probably next month".
"What do you mean by my opinion?". Charlotte asked.
"I mean do you think the surgery will be successful?". He asked, staring at her.
"It's gonna be successful..just stay positive" she said, focusing on her phone. The doorbell rang and they looked at each other.
"Jasmine, go get it".Charlotte said.
"No, go get it. You ought to cook tonight but as for your cramps we forgive you" Jasmine said and Charlotte just rolled her eyes.
"Whatever Jaz" Charlotte said and dragged herself to the door.
It's been three days since Charlotte had menstrual cramps.
"I will miss you like damn Donald just remember to stay positive during and after the surgery okay? " Charlotte said and he nodded.
"Yes mum"
"Gosh!I can't believe I will have to stay with Jasmine alone" Charlotte said yarning.
Donald, his mum, Jasmine and Charlotte are currently at the airport.
He is finally going to India for his eye surgery. Not that it can't be cured through the drugs that were prescribed for him but he wanted a quick recovery. He smiled at what Charlotte just said.
"You can go with Donald if you wish," Jasmine said, smiling widely and Donald chuckled.
"We will miss you Donald". Jasmine said.
"Same here guys". Donald said. They all left for the car except Charlotte who stayed back.
She has this sad expression on her face. She and Donald continued looking at themselves. She's gonna miss him for sure.
"Stay positive, okay and take care," Charlotte said after a few minutes of them staring at each other.
She turned back disappointedly ready to go when Donald embraced her.
"I love you and will always do". He said but Charlotte just kept mute. She stared into those blue oceanic eyes.
"See you after the surgery alive and bouncing". She said and gave him a thumbs up.
Donald kissed her forehead passionately,making her heart beat increase.
"I will always love you Charlotte". He said for the last time then left Charlotte blushing.
