“Mommy, where are we going?” Noah asked.
“Today, dad is having a match so we are going there to cheer him,” Charlotte told.
“Is it?”
“Yeah, baby,” she smiled.
28.Charlotte came out of the hotel after her work time ended in the evening. The dark clouds gathered up for rain and looking at that she drove the car to her house. She wondered whether Jaxson has decided to stop talking to her from now on. Because it looks like he’s going to continue this. This upsets her more than anything.When she entered home, Noah is already there with Emmanuel.
“Uh… I don’t know how I am going to deal with everything without you,” Milly heaves a huge sigh when Charlotte packing her stuff.“I trust you, Milly, you can do it,” she encouraged placing her small family photo in the box.“I am not better than you,” Milly frowns.“You see this is one of the simplest jobs. All you need to do is to smile and act nice, okay?” Charlotte smiled.“I understand and I will try to work hard as you,” Milly gave a thumbs up.“That’s what I need to hear,” Charlotte turned her attention to her monitor.“What you’re working on your last day?” she asked.“Just these pending bills, I have to send this to Mike.”“Take it easy, you still have time,”“No, I don’t have much time, I am leaving earlier today.”“Why?”&ld
“Please carry the things carefully, sir. It has glass dishes,” Charlotte said as they carry her stuff to the truck. The worker nodded with a smile. She then turned her attention to Noah who came out of his room.“Do I look good in this shirt?” he asked in doubt. It’s evident from his face that he doesn’t like wearing that floral printed shirt which Charlotte bought for him a month ago.“You look too cute and handsome baby,” she smiled caressing his wavy black hair for that he smiled lightly.“Have you packed your backpack?” she questioned.“Yes,”“Great,”Today the sun is shining brightly after the light rain yesterday. The skies were so clear and Charlotte watched that sitting on Noah’s bed. But her apartment is somewhat dark since it is located in the middle of the two other apartments and has limited windows. Noah carrying his bag in his shoulders ca
Charlotte looked around the house which is all set. She had a proud smile and she leaned on the kitchen counter seeing the bright house. Noah came down carrying his bag for his first day of school. He was wearing blue jeans and a plain white shirt."Good morning baby, I prepared your favorite sandwich," Charlotte enthusiastically said."Thanks," he gave a small smile."What happened? It's your first day, cheer up,""I am nervous, mommy,""Why?""W-What if e-everyone laugh at me when I speak?" he told looking down."You don't have to worry about that. Come and sit here, I will tell you something," Charlotte told tapping on the chair. He nodded and sat on it feeling utterly nervous."You know what you should always think that you’re stronger than anyone else. Never consider what others think about your imperfections because no one is perfect,” caressing his back Charlotte said to him.“Are you not perfect
“Jax-son! Jax-son! Jax-son!”The entire crowd chanted his name as he got up after the deadly punch from his opponent. The crowd didn’t lose hope because they know he’s going to win anyway, it’s his way of keeping the game interesting.He never allowed anyone to hit him hard like this, this is the first-ever time he was badly hurt. He wanted to experience the height of pain and then wanted to come back to finish the game. His cheeks, eyes, and all his face are bruised. Blood oozing out from his mouth but he carried a smirk looking at the opponent, Serbio. In fact, he is his favorite among all other players. His punch will have a strength compared to others.Serbio again kicked his stomach and Jaxson spat the bloody saliva on the floor. Jaxson breathed rapidly, his vision blurred, and his entire body is burning in the pain. He understood that this is the pain he wanted to experience. Before Serbio could make another move. Jax
The evening is so mesmerizing in the neighborhood. The chill wind along with the smell of petrichor has made the ambiance pleasant. After coming home, Noah went to his room and picked up his basketball. When he made his way towards the door, Charlotte stopped him.“Where you’re going?”“To play b-basketball,” he answered.“Now? It’s going to rain, Noah. Stay at home and don’t go outside,” Charlotte told.“Mom please, I-I will come inside once it starts to rain,” Noah asked having his puppy eyes.“Okay, don’t go out of the fence,” she said and Noah ran outside in joy.Charlotte went upstairs to change her clothes with the feelings she had while driving the car. She didn’t know why today she thinks more about Jaxson. His face is kept coming in her mind.Noah walked to the sycamore tree carrying his basketball. He got this idea after seeing the bask
**Flashback**“How can you do this, John?” Charlotte's mother Frances asked her husband who’s drinking in this evening time skipping his work. He didn’t care about what she’s saying and took another sip from the bottle.“Please stop drinking this shit,” her mother cried taking away that bottle.“Give me that fucking bottle,” John warned his wife. But when she didn’t give it he pulled the bottle from her hand and pushed her aside.“You’re ruining yourself and this family, John,” her mom started crying.“Shut the fuck up, Frances. You don’t have to tell me what I have to do,” his father gritted in anger because he’s drunk, or else he wouldn’t talk like that.“This is wrong; you’re not understanding me. Let’s get a divorce I don’t want to waste our daughter’s life.”John banged the table
**PRESENT**“Ms. Anderson?”Charlotte came out of her thoughts and looked at her colleague Katherine.“Someone is here to meet you,”“Who?” she asked quietly. Her face is kind of sad and confused.“Jaxson Marcellus,”Hearing the name made her gasp. Her heart started pounding and for a moment she couldn’t understand what she heard.“What?” she again asked.“Jaxson Marcellus. By the way, how do you know him?” Katherine asked.“He’s my… friend,” she replied with slight hesitation.“Oh, you know I am a big fan of him. I took a picture with him just now. Thanks to you,” Katherine smiled.“Where is he?” Charlotte questioned getting up from her seat.“He’s in the waiting area,”As soon as she heard it, Charlotte made her way to Jaxson.
