Charlie was still boiling in anger and jealousy. He hurriedly left the place to calm down himself.
" What happened to him?" Aurora asked being confused.
" Ask yourself." Antonia said sighing.
" What did I do?" Aurora asked frowning.
" Jealousy is a disease my bestie." Sofia said side hugging Aurora.
Aurora sighed understanding the reason of his anger. "We are going to this party. Get ready timely. We will leave for it in the afternoon."
" About guards?" Antonia asked.
" I'll make arrangements for it. Don't worry." Aurora said.
" I think we should take one team in disguise too." Antonia said. Aurora nodded understanding her concern.
"Leon!" Aurora called.
Leon hurriedly came and bowed in front of her." Yes Venom."
" Where is Andrew and Eric?"
" In the base."
" Call them and tell that they and their teams will go to a party with us. Ask them to bring the latest guns and extra bullets."
" Sure Venom. Anything else?"
" Where are the underground fighters?" Aurora asked.
" They are in one of the hideouts Venom."
" Inform them that I need them in disguise in a party. I'll send the location to them. They have to fight with me there if it's needed."
" Sure Venom."
" Go now." Leon bowed and went to do her job.
" Are you feeling something fishy baby?" Lucas asked Antonia.
" I don't know. It's just a feeling." Antonia said shrugging.
" It's better to be prepared. If anything happens Andrew and Eric can help you guys and I'll fight back." Aurora said.
" But.."
" No buts Antonia. I have to make sure all the attackers are killed if any attack happens. I hope this party goes well." Aurora said sighing.
" I think you should check up on someone else now." Sofia said.
Aurora nodded and went to find Charlie.
Aurora started searching for Charlie but couldn't find him. She searched the gym but didn't find him there either. Then she heard some sounds from boxing arena. She went there and found him boxing. She noticed he was boxing without globes.
Soon Charlie groaned feeling pain in his hand. Aurora noticed blood on his hand but he didn't stop. He was sweaty already. It was clear that he was angry.
Aurora went near him and stand in front the sand ball. Charlie stopped as soon as he saw her.
" What are you doing?" Aurora asked.
" You can clearly see I guess." Charlie said.
Aurora held his hand and pulled him towards a bench. He made him sit down and went to take a first aid box. She sat beside him." If you want to practice you should wear gloves." Aurora said clearing the blood on his hand.
Charlie hissed feeling the stinging sensation but didn't say anything.
" Why are you angry all of a sudden?" Aurora knew the reason yet she wanted to hear it from him.
" Nothing. Let me go." Charlie said not looking at her.
" You shouldn't get jealous over this small things Charlie."
Charlie looked at her not believing her words." Small things? Picking you up, hugging you, holding your hands, kissing and patting your hair all these things are small to you? Should I tolerate all the men around you doing these small things to my girl now?" Charlie asked with rage.
Aurora felt butterflies in her stomach hearing him calling her his girl.
" He has known me from childhood. It's his way of expressing his adoration for me. Nothing else." Aurora said softly.
" But he has to understand there is a difference between a 12 years girl and a 22 years girl. Why did you allow him in the first place? You even jumped on him!" Charlie exclaimed.
Aurora chuckled." He was the closest to me after Sofia. I have seen him after so long that's why I couldn't control my happiness."
"What's with the nicknames? Mimmo and Piccolo. Why? Can't you just call yourselves by name? You don't call Sofia with a nickname. Then why him? Why in the world every man wants to call you in nicknames?" Charlie said.
He wasn't having any of it. He couldn't tolerate any men around her.
" Sofia and I have nicknames too. But we don't use them that much as it feels cringe to us. She calls me bestie most of the times. Haven't you noticed? About mimmo and piccolo, you know the meanings. Why are you getting angry then?"
"What about l'vitsa that Nicolai guy called you?" Charlie asked.
" It means lioness Charlie. He has called me lioness in Russian." Aurora said chuckling.
" Whatever. I call you princess too. You haven't given me any nickname yet. Why?" Charlie grumpily asked.
Aurora laughed." I'll think a nickname for you then. Happy?" She asked.
"Don't know. I'm not going to his party. I don't like him at all." Charlie said.
" Are you sure you don't want to go?"
" 100%. I'm not going to his party. He will get killed for sure if I go there today." Charlie said curling his hands.
" Okay okay. Don't get violent now. You don't have to go if you don't want to. But don't play tricks like yesterday." Aurora said.
Charlie looked at her. Aurora stood in front of Charlie and leaned down to his level. She came face to face and whispered," I can see through people Charlie. Tricking me is not that easy. I stayed yesterday as I didn't want to go leaving you here all pouty and jealous either. Don't practice now. Take some rest."
Charlie kept looking at her being speechless. Aurora chuckled and went out of the boxing arena.

Time passed. Everyone was getting ready in their rooms except Aurora and Antonia. They had some work. Aurora completed her work first.
" I'm going to my room. Come to my room with the file after you are done." Aurora said looking at Antonia.
"Sure. Is Charlie really not going?" Antonia asked.
" He said so. His jealousy is from another level." Aurora said.
" I don't think so he will let you go alone. Moreover jealousy suits him."
" What do you mean?"
"I have meant that he'll definitely go and about jealousy, it's natural. A boy who hasn't share anything in his whole life, how will he tolerate other men around his love?"
" I haven't shared anything too. I'm not jealous or possessive like him." Aurora asked raising her one brow.
Antonia chuckled. " That's because you haven't been in situations like him. After coming here, he has seen men being whipped for you, I bet you will be more possessive than him if any girl tries to steal him from you. Your mom used to be possessive too remember?"
" I don't think I'll be like her in this criteria."
" We will see that." Antonia said winking at Aurora.
" Whatever. Bring that file to me. I need to check it before going out. Dad is in trouble managing all these things alone. We need to help him."
" Don't worry. Go ahead."
Aurora nodded and got out of the office. She went to her room to get ready for the party.
