After the talk with Dad at his company, I was sent home with one of his personal bodyguards. On the way home, I kept on thinking about what Dad told me. I think his reason for dragging me to his office was not to tell me about the room, but for me to know more about Charlotte.
Here I was thinking Charlotte sacrificed her dreams just to work in the company,and I am been told something else entirely. I am already dreading my talk with Charlotte because if what Dad told me is true, everything I rely on based on that fact will just crumble down.
"Arg." I groaned, both my hands on my face. 'I will just have to wait and see.' I thought , my face still buried in my hands.
"Miss...we are here." Baron, Dads bodyguard said looking at me through the rearview mirror.
I snapped out of my thought. "Oh...Thank you." I said and got down from the car.
"Carly!" Freddi yelled runing towards me.
"Hey kiddo." I said. "What are you doing awake?"
"Waiting for you of course." He said his hands folded.
"Such a sweet boy." I cooed." But you should be in bed."
"I wanted to see you before i sleep." He dragged me inside. "So.... What did Dad show you?"
"I don't think he actually showed me anything, more like enlightened me." I said.
"Enlightened you about what?" He asked his cute face looking at me.
Blows raspberries. "And you,Hope you were not bored staying with James?" I asked.
He turned his face towards me, a huge smile on his face. "James was the best, he played hide and go seek with me and even video games." He gesture with his hands.
"Hmmm." I hummed. "Sound fun."
"That's because it was fun." He said.
I grabbed the nearest seat and sat down watching Freddi was busy explaining how his day went and the fun he had with James. It was quite thrilling to watch him, he kept on demonstrating everything with his hands and his facial expressions was something else entirely that I found myself laughing on several occasions.
"That was quite the night you had." I stated with a laugh.
He jumped up happily. "It was. The best!" He yelled.
I shook my head. " How long was i gone for?" I asked with a tint to my head.
He raised his head, his hand on his face. " Two hours." Shakes his head. " No. Three. I think." He said and look at me.
"I guess we both got so wrapped up in what we were doing to check the time." I said and stood up.
" I guess." He said.
"So... What do you want to eat?" I asked opening the kitchen cupboard.
"Ice cream." He yelled jumping up.
" I promise to take you out for ice cream tomorrow." I turn to look at him.
"You promise?" He asked his pinky finger up in the air.
" I promise." I said and link my pinky finger to his. " So.... What would you like to eat?" I said looking back at the cupboard.
"Spag and meatball." He said.
"Nice choice." I said and brought out the pot, then break the spag inside it.
After some minutes,the food was done. I dished out the spag and meatball into two different plate and handed one to Freddi who muttered a quick thanks before walking over to the dinning table. I smiled at him before cleaning the kitchen counter, I gently wiped the greesy stain with a soft red hand towel, when the white counter once again sparkle, I gave a small smile and a nod before carrying my food to the dinning table. I plopped down beside Freddi and dug my fork into my spag, the delicious sensation causing a moan to spilled out of my mouth.
Freddi let out a chuckle." Delicious right?" He asked with a smirk.
I gave him a smug look. "Of course.. Since i was the one who prepared it." I said digging my fork for more.
"Stop being cocky." He let out a scoff.
I smiled and said nothing again wondering how a six year old could talk like an adult. I shook my head and swirl my fork around my spag before lifing it to my mouth.
I smiled and close my eyes savouring the sweet taste of the spag. I opened my eyes again and pierce my fork into the meatball before putting it into my mouth. I hummed in satisfaction before looking towards Freddi who had on the same look on his face.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself?" I asked with a smirk.
Freddi cleaned the greasy stain on his lips before looking at me, He stare at me for some time contemplating what to say before he shook his head and went back to enjoying his food.
I let out a laugh at his behavior.
We finished the rest of our food in silence. I stood up from my seat and grabbed both my plate and Freddi's own and walked towards the kitchen sink.
After watching both our plates, I dried my hands with a towel then looked at the magnanimous wall clock hanging on the wall.
I let out a gasps when I saw that it was already past eleven. I quickly walked towards Freddi and pushed him towards the stairs and into his room, I laid him on the bed draping the comforter on him and left but not before giving him a peck on his head and mumbling a quiet. "Goodnight."
I walked over to my room, banging it shut. Mom already sent a text saying she had to stay with Charlotte for the night.
I plopped down on my bed feeling tired. My phone chimes, I got up and grabbed my phone to see a text.
The word made my cheek red and a huge smile appeared on my face.
I dozed off with the word. "Today was fun."
I felt a heavy weight on my body , it felt as though I was unable to breath. I calmed my panic heart before my eyelid flutter open, I closed my eyes from the binding light before opening them again ,this time more slowly so as to adjust. I looked around to clear the blur from my eyes before i looked down to see the source of my discomfort.
I let out a chuckle when I found none other than Freddi lying on my body, His pinky on his lips as he suck greedily on them, his eyelashes resting beautifully on his face. It was during this moment that I am reminded of how he is only just six years old and not how he make himself to be an adult.
I then wondered how he was able to sneak into my room without me knowing for I was not a heavy sleeper.'I guess i must have been really tired.' I muttered.
I relaxed into the bed and watch him with a fond smile on my face careful not to move so as not to wake him. He look so cute sleeping especially when he krpt mumbling incoherent word. I let out a soft giggle enjoying this moment, This was a very rare moment and I was enjoying every bit of it.
Just then my phone rang.
