Pride and Prejudice
Betrayal
Charlotte's POV
Lately I’ve been I’ve been losing sleep, dreaming about the things that we could be!
OneRepublic is such a great band! I'm listening to Counting stars for hours. I am so nervous for tonight! I have another date with one of Danielle’s friend. These girls really like to set me up dates with friends of theirs! Last time, it was a friend of El’s, and we didn’t get well along together… A posh, hateful guy that was good looking. He seemed nice though! But he was so annoying! A flirty, self-centered guy. He spent the dinner flirting with the waitress. It wouldn’t have made a difference if I had been there or not. How nice was it!
Anyway, I really hope that this date will be better!
From: Dani
Hey! Good luck for tonight! Everyone’s at Louis’, so come by when the dinner is over if you’re alone ;)
To: Dani
Haha! Sure I will ;) Say hi to them for me! See you later! xx
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! Here he is! Let’s go!
I check my clothes one last time in the mirror and go and open the door to an incredibly hot guy. Dani said he was a very good-looking dancer, she didn’t lie! Hi handsome!
‘Hello! I’m Luke! You must be Charlotte I guess.’
‘Yes I am! Nice to meet you! ‘
‘Nice too! Ready to go?’
He reach out his arm for me to take it. Such a gentleman! I close the door, take a last deep breath, and I'm ready for the night.
**
The dinner is going pretty well! I'm not nervous anymore and Luke is really nice. We chat, laugh a lot and we have a really great time. He is telling me about his first audition to be a dancer when his phone rings. He become really serious and apologize to me.
‘Sorry, it may be for work. I just need five minutes. I’ll be quick.’
‘Don’t worry, I’ll go to the toilets during this time. See you later!’
**
I come back to our table and Luke is still on the phone.
‘I understand. Well I’ve got to hang up, she’s back. Thanks for telling me though!’ He hungs up and puts the phone back in his pocket.
‘Is everything alright?’
‘Yeah yeah, everything’s alright.’
‘Cool. Can I have another glass of wine please?’ I hand him my empty glass. This wine is amazing!
‘Are you sure? It’s the fourth glass you drink…’
His answer catch me off guard. I'm taken aback by his reaction. Who does he think he is?! I already have a father and he never allowed himself to make that kind of comment! And I should accept it from a complete stranger?! He’s just ruining all the amazing time we have!
‘Excuse me?’ I try to keep my voice as even as possible. I can see that he's torn about something. Where does that sudden change of behaviour come from? I only left for few minutes!
‘He asked me not to tell you, so I don’t know if I should or not…’
‘WHO asked you not to tell me WHAT Luke?’ I say between gritted teeth. He finally surrender and admit everything.
‘Your psychologist called me while you were gone. That was the call I received earlier, remember? That was him. He was worried about your depression and was checking that you wouldn’t drink too much, because of your drinking issues you had. He’s really involved in his patient’s life! It’s really cool isn’t it?’
‘Do you remember his name Luke?’ I'm trying to resolve a puzzle without knowing how it looks like. It’s going to be hard…
‘I think he said his name was… Stables… no Styles! That’s it! He introduced himself as doctor Styles. Why? Don’t you know the name of your own therapist?’
I'm burning up inside! If Harry were here, I would punch him in the face so hard that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him! I liked Luke, and Harry destroyed everything!
‘This isn’t what it seems Luke… Styles isn’t my therapist, he is my friend. Or was should I say. I don’t know why he told you this, or how he got your number, but I can assure you that I’m not following a therapy for a depression.’
I try to eat, but I just can't after what happened. I'm not in the mood anymore and Luke hasn't said a word either. I can feel his stare on me, and I don’t like this feeling of pity. He's now torn between believing me, and believing that jerk of Harry.
‘Luke, I really am sorry of what’s going on. I really like you, and I’m terribly sorry that that call destroyed the dinner…’
‘It’s ok. Don’t worry. Do you want me to take you back home?’
‘Yeah… Hmmh… Could you take me to a friend’s home instead?’
‘Yes, of course. Let’s go.’
We lave the restaurant quickly, and Luke is still a gentleman. I hope he choose to trust me instead of Harry.
**
By the time we arrive at Louis’ place, it's raining. I get out of the car, Luke leads me to the doorstep, kissing me gently on the cheek.
‘It was an… interesting dinner. Good night Charlotte.’
‘Good night Luke.’
I knock three times, and Louis open the door.
‘Hey Char! How was your dinner? How likely it is that you're here? Shouldn’t you be with a Mr. gentleman tonight doing dirty things?’
He grins at me. Obviously, this nasty comment is the proof that he doesn't know. Of course he doesn't! Harry wouldn’t take the risk to tell his friends what he did! When Louis sees how serious I am, he stops grinning like a fool.
‘Louis, where is HE?’
