Charlotte kept walking faster and faster down the corridor, aware that Ethan was coming after her. She stopped and asked herself why she was running or why she reacted that way. She was not even angry, she was just shocked. Her main concern was how to face Ethan and Faith with the news she had come to break. She was the intruder after all. She slowly turned and faced Ethan, a bright smile lit up her face.
Ethan was panting, she didn't even know why. Was it from the steamy process in there or because he chased her? He ran his fingers through his hair, his green eyes gleaming with remorse.
"It's not what you think, Charlotte."
Charlotte smiled. "I'm not thinking anything. Let's go back in the room."
Ethan stared at her stunned. He had to drag her back. "Charlotte, you've got to stop doing this."
"Doing what?"
"Stop pretending that you are not hurting or seeing anything. I know that's why you don't to marry me. I promise, I'm not usually like that. We can move out to somewhere else so I won't be tempted this way again."
Charlotte looked blankly at him for a while and burst into laughter. Ethan's brows creased and he watched her in total confusion.
"What?" he asked spreading his hands…
"I'm laughing at how cute you look while apologize."
"Charlotte, please that not the issue you here. Get angry, yell at me or something."
"But I'm not angry, in fact, I'm happy. I'm very happy."
"I'm sorry Charlotte. Please stop holding it all inside you, let it out. I'll take the blame, it was all my fault, I even started kissing her first. I'm so sorry."
"You don't have to be sorry. I understand."
"If you understand you won't be standing her laughing and smiling and laughing."
"What do you want me to do then?"
"I don't know, yell at me, hit me or something, just do something to show you are angry."
"I'm not angry, I have told you that."
"If you are not angry, you are hurt then. Please show me you are hurt."
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know, hit me or something."
"You want me to hit you?" she asked looking him straight in the eyes.
"Please do, I know it's not going to be anything compared to the hurt you feel inside you. I'm sorry."
She jabbed his shoulder twice. "Are you okay now? Can we go inside now?"
"I'm sorry, Charlotte."
"If I'm sorry was food, I'm sure by now I'll be well feed. Let's go inside." She started towards the apartment. Ethan followed.
Faith didn't seat in the living room waiting for the verdict. She was so ashamed of herself. She could not even tell Nora about this, Nora was going to blame her. She even blame herself. She was a whore! Whore! Whore! A cheap whore. She stood up and went over to her room to go and bury herself in regrets. She had never thought that she would come into people's relationship. But here she was doing that exactly.
