2 weeks before the start of college

I was at Cassandre's parents, in the living room, more precisely with her father and her little sister Cassidy. When I arrived, Charlie told me that Cassandre and his wife Clara went shopping. So I stayed to wait for her because she had asked me to come to her house.

"Since I learned to express my tastes, I promised myself that I would never wear a dress again... "

"Oh, it's okay, it's just snow-white. "

"But I wanted Olaf. Why is he the one who has it? » Showing Charlie

"Because daddy had already worn a princess dress last time. "

" It's not fair!" I said crossing my arms

"Stop sulking, it's not so bad. It looks good on you, and it's comfortable, believe in my experience." Said, Charlie

"Regardless, let's hurry before Cassandre and Clara get back." "

" Oh! You don't want your darling to see you like a princess, big baby!" Said Cassidy

I looked at her with a frown, but she just laughed, "Come on girls, let's start!" Charlie said. Cassidy finally Cinderella had chosen a very interesting song.

"Who sings first already?" "

"Damn, haven't you been listening or what? It's daddy first, you, then me." I nodded.

"Come on, let's go," said Cassidy

... ... ...

"Ok, next song"

" What ?! »Said Charlie, "I chose the song! "

"Ok" I was starting to have fun suddenly, I had no objection.

"Oh!" Cassidy and I said at the same time, seeing Charlie's choice.

"OK, who is first" asked Charlie

" Me! " Have I said

... ... ...

"Next!"

... ... ...

"I think we should stop the sad songs," I said

"Ok, what do you suggest? "

... ... ...

" You know that-" Started Cassidy

I nodded, "I know..." 'That it's also a sad song.'

" OK..."

A few minutes after

"Well, here is the song that I really wanted to play"

... ... ...

"Wait, are you serious?" "

" Yes, why?" She shook her head. "You don't know the basics, tsk." She sighed.

"Anyway, you really don't know the basics, sweetie," said Charlie

"What? Not you too, dad!"

"Yep!" Charlie said, nodding his head. We did a high five, and I asked both of them,

"Are you ready?"

... ... ...

"Ok, now in Spanish"

"Which one? "

... ... ...

"Do you want to do all the songs in the world or what?" "

"No. OK, we have one that talks about sex, a-"

"It's a no!"

"Come on Charlie! You will not even understand the words, anyway. Well, we have another who is quite happy, and the last one who talks about love, roughly. OK, which one do you want?"

"Which is the easiest," asked Cassandre.

"I don't know," I replied with a shrug.

"Hmm, I want to listen to the one about the sex- cough - the one about love"

I couldn't help but giggle when I saw the look Charlie was giving Cassidy.

"Good, let's sing," I said after Charlie looked at me too.

What we didn't know at the time was that Cassandra and her mother had been back for a while...

... ... ...

"Okay, now I wanna dance," I said after I finished singing the song.

"Oh, I know a song I love, after you played it to me last time."

I looked at him confused, "Oh, that one" I said after remembering it, and he nodded, "Okay"

... ... ...

We started dancing, well, we tried. Charlie was the one who was into the music, for some reason that I don't conceit he was twerking, and he was doing it well on top of that.

My favorite moment in the music finally came, and we got into position and did the little choreography that we had created.

Even though we weren't perfect, we had a lot of fun. And that's finally where I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. Cassidy stopped the music, she had seen them too.

"Cassidy, why did you stop the mu-" Charlie started to say then stopped, following Cassidy's gaze.

" Hey! You are back." The problem was that they were filming us and I realized that I was still wearing the dress on me, 'Shit'

"Why did you stop?" Clara asked

" Oh, that's right. Why? I was starting to warm myself up." said Charlie, Cassidy and I shrug our shoulders, and she starts the music again.

"Come dance with us." Said, Charlie

"No, we are good, we will continue to film you," said Cassandre

Charlie and I looked at each other and nodded, we didn't need words to understand each other. We returned our gaze to the 2 women who started to run away, and we ran to catch them in order to bring them back to the living room to dance with us. So we were there dancing, enjoying and appreciating each other's presence.

After dinner, Cassandre and I were in her room. We were lying on her bed in silence in each other's arms, in a comfortable silence.

"Cassandra" "Hm? "

"How long have you been looking at us, you and your mother?" She laughed.

" Are you serious?" She said laughing

" What? I did what?" I said confused

"Is that your question?" I nodded. "I thought it was a more serious question?" "

"But this is very serious, what I'm asking you here." I said, smiling, and she laughed again.

"Right from the start, when you were about to sing the first song. "

" What ?!" I sat down and looked at her, "You're serious" She nodded and bit her lower lip lightly, "Why didn't you warn us? And don't do that. "

"We called you, but you were too engrossed in your show."

" Is that so ? "

"And not to do what?" She bit her lip again. 'Damn it !'

"Ok alright, I can't take it anymore, I lost." She smiles very cutely.

" You won. Not kissing you for a whole day drives me crazy. " I added,

"Stop the blabbering, more actions."

'Oh, damn, this girl will cause my downfall.'

And I kissed her, "You know * kiss * I'm getting * kiss * addicted to your lips * kiss *. You are my oxygen * kisses *. I can't do anything without you, and I want everything from you." I said while giving her kisses. I looked at her in the eye and kissed her again, but she broke the kiss.

"No, you know very well that the last time if it hadn't been because of my parents, we wouldn't have stopped, and if you keep going I would like more."

"Tell me where are your parents and Cassidy?" I asked her as I started giving her kisses on her neck.

"They went to my grandparents to help them with the-" She moaned

"Cassidy went with them," I added. I gave her a kiss again

"Hm, and when are they coming back?" I whispered in her ear, before biting lightly on her earlobe.

"Tomorrow," she replied in a trembling voice. But I knew it wasn't a good sign. I looked up and saw a teardrop from her eye. She was shaking, 'Oh no!'

"Sweetheart," I said worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. You can continue." She said in a shaky voice, 'that bitch really roughed her up.'

"Don't ask me not to worry ..." I stood up to get her some water and a handkerchief, but she stopped me.

"No, don't leave me, I'm going to do it, so don't give up on me." She begged, at this moment, I was shocked

"Honey, can I ask you a question?" She nodded. I sat down next to her,

"You don't have to tell me if it's hard to talk about it." She nodded again, and I was trying to find the right words, "In your relationship with Julie, were you being abused?" She wasn't moving, she was looking at me, but she had a distant gaze.

I waved my hand in front of her eyes, she came back from her thoughts. She looked at me like she wanted to read me, and I allowed her to.

"No" I started to feel relief but- "It wasn't just in my old relationship ...", at that moment, I realized that the rest was not going to please me at all when I saw her expression, "... But in all my old relationships, it was so toxic that it sometimes came to the hands, to assaults-", there I stood up again, I looked at the sky through her window. "But they could never have me physically, I promise you." I didn't say anything. My emotions were in a mess.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ..." she kept saying over and over with tears in her eyes as she collapsed more and more. She was now on the ground, she was holding my leg like it was her only way to survive, and she was just begging for forgiveness. My eyes were still directed towards the sky, definitely I had to calm down, and quickly. Hearing those crying and her apologies breaks me down more and more, 'Damn, I promise that if one person ever touches this girl again, I would be ruthless with that person.'

I took a deep breath and crouched down. She was still crying, I wished everything will get better and to never hurt her...

Cassandre had her head down because she knew I was looking at her, and her crying also stopped. She was afraid, she was shaking. I hope it wasn't because of me. "Why are you apologizing?"

She finally decided to look at me, there was incomprehension, then sadness on her face. But why?
