After Nico and I walked back together I waited for Charles with the rest of the group. When he came towards the group he looked a little upset. I laid my hand on his waist and his green eyes which stood confused and angry looked into mine. Something is off with him.

"What's wrong?"

He laid both of his hands on my lower back as I moved my hands to cup his cheek. My thumbs stroking the soft skin on his face. The look on his fave softened a little bit and then hardened again while he looked at me.

"I'm fine don't worry."

"You look tense... you can tell me if you want to okay? Remember that."

"I will tell you later okay?"

"I'll wait."

He kissed my forehead before everybody climbed into the cars. We drove home and he staid silent. So I laid my hand on his lower arm looking at me. Something is really bothering him and even I could see that.

"Charles? What's bothering you?"

"What's bothering me?!"

He sounded offended and I was taken aback by the way he snapped.

"Pull over the car."

My tone was harsh and he did like I asked. He turned the engine off and looked at me.

"What got you so worked up?! You did not have to snap at me like that!"

"You don't get it do you?!"

"No obviously I don't Charles! Just fucking tell me instead of yelling at me like I'm supposed to read your fucking mind."

He climbed out of the car and slammed the door shut quite hard for someone who drives a Ferrari. I climbed out as well and looked at the guy in front of me. He had his hands on the nape of his neck as he looked so so frustrated.

"Can you at least explain to me if I made you upset? I didn't mean too."

"It's my own fault... I should have known when I started this..."

"What do you mean? I can't help you if you don't tell me."

"But I don't want your help Aleina!"

I nodded at him a few times softly.

"Okay fine. I'll call a taxi to bring me to the beach house. I'll grab my stuff and say something happened at work or something."

I was about to take out my phone when he groaned quite loudly.

"This is what I mean with you don't get it!"

I looked up to look into the green eyes. He looked at me almost desperately.

"You show up looking all-"

"Looking all what?! Watch what comes out of your mouth next I mean it!"

"All perfect okay!"
