Charlie was nervous, but becuase her sister said so, she went back. She turned on the lights and observed Taylor. So far, he has not moved. Charlie quickly took another photo of him, and while she was doing it, Taylor turned around and laid on his back.
Through the video call, Freya was silently screaming. She mouthed, ‘Take a picture! Oooh. He is handsome!’
Charlie’s hands trembled as she took another shot.
“Get a close-up. Get a close-up,” Freya whispered.
“Sshh. Quiet,” Charlie scolded. She moved closer and took more photos of Taylor.
Charlie was ready to leave. She had turned on her heels when Taylor suddenly grabbed her arm! The next thing she knew, her entire body landed on the sheets, and she was lying next to Taylor!
“Aahhh!” Charlie and Freya screamed at the same time.
“What are you doing?” Taylor asked, his eyes still slightly shut, and his voice was hoarse.
Before Charlie could answer, Taylor took her phone, and when he saw Freya, he asked, “Who are you?”
“Oh, hi, Taylor. I’m Charlie’s sister, Freya. Charlie was just introducing you to me while you were sleeping!” Freya awkwardly answered.
Taylor frowned. Then, he smirked. He turned to Charlie, who was completely still in his arm, slightly shaking from the shock. He said, “Let me help you, Babe.”
Posing next to Charlie, he took photos of them together. He made sure to get a good shot. Afterward, he smiled at Freya on the video call, saying, “Nice to meet you, Freya. Hope to meet you in person.”
Then, Taylor gave Charlie the phone, asking, “Are you going to sleep here or what?”
“What?” Charlie frantically got off the bed, saying, “No. No!”
Very quickly, Charlie returned to her room. She closed the door and scolded Freya, “I told you we should not have turned on the lights!”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” Freya said. “Well, I have seen him, and I conclude that, indeed, he is trouble… in a different way.”
“Oh, my god! He is so hot! Charlie, you have stumbled into a marvelous creation!” Freya exclaimed.
“So, Freya? What should I do?” Charlie asked.
