For Her

Chapter 7: The Plan

{Jennifer Brandon}

As I reached Charles place I saw he cooked lunch for me. My heart melted and I just felt bad for him. I didn't want to tell him the truth but I knew I had to.

"I was waiting for you. Is everything alright? Did you want to meet me so urgently and say something? I cooked you lunch we can eat and talk if you want." he asked as he welcomed me in.

I didn't miss a minute and spoke my heart out, "No, actually I wanted to say something to you. I am here to confess something. We meeting twice wasn't any coincidence. Damien did it. He is my friend and two months ago I told him that I have a crush on you. He was the one on whom I was yelling in the elevator 'DAN'. Also last night he was the one who made us meet. He wanted you to start liking me because I used to like you. He loves me so he does such things for me."

I saw his confused face and stood there silently waiting for him to speak. "Damien? My friend Damien, the one who met me at Jack Anderson's production office. So that's the reason why he asked me to come to the party yesterday." I had no idea what happened at the production office but I knew Damien did something to get Charles at the party. So I took it on myself and said "Yes the same Damien. He told me about his plan before I met you. I told him not to do anything stupid but he didn't listen to me." I wanted Charles to hate me because after reading his letter I saw him falling for me. I didn't want him to break his heart. I didn't believe that I had any feelings for Charles.

"I feel so stupid right now. I know my fans love meeting me but you are creepy. You just tried to play with my heart. I am just a crush on you? Just an attraction? I cannot believe I was your crush years ago and you wanted me to love you. Why are you here now telling me the truth?" his grey eyes were filled with tears but not even one drop rolled down his cheek. 

"After reading your letter I realized that what my ex did to me, I might be doing the same to you. You are a celebrity but also a human being with a beautiful heart. I didn't want to break your heart. I didn't know my friend would actually do this even after I said not to. I really apologize and I think I should leave now." I was really polite and my heart was crying. I wanted to just hug him tight. "Yeah, you should go. I thought you are a nice person. I cannot believe you planned all this." I could see him angry and upset. I just left his place without saying a word. I was sorry for what I did with him. "He needs to hate me so that he can forget me. Especially after what Damien did with me, I cannot fall in love and trust someone again." I said this to myself, trying to explain myself that lying to Charles was the right thing. 

{Charles Bason}

She was walking out the door, she didn't even turn around to see me. No goodbyes, she just walked away. As the door closed I couldn't control my tears anymore. It started rolling down my cheeks and everything she said was going in my mind.  I turned around and I saw the table and the lunch, I had prepared for her. I wanted to know her, impress her. I just went to my room and turned on the television. I wanted to distract myself but I couldn't stop thinking about her. The way she talked, her eyes, her smile, everything about her. I hadn't spent a lot of time with her but she felt special. I didn't bother noticing what's on the television. Everything in front of me had blurred out. I soon went off to sleep.

My phone started ringing, I woke up, opened my eyes and without seeing the number I answered the call. "Hello, am I speaking to Charles Bason?" a strong male voice replied. I was wondering who was calling and the voice continued speaking, "this is John Carter speaking." I woke up in shock. My hands were shaking and I was very nervous. "Yeah, yes it's me, Charles Bason." It was a very big deal for John Carter to call me personally. "Damien Shaw gave me your number, he said you are a very special friend of his. He wanted me to meet you and work with you on your new song. He loved it and wanted me to hear it once too. So are you free tomorrow at 2 pm? We can meet in my office." I couldn't believe what was happening. I was still nervous and I sounded very desperate, "Yes tomorrow 2 pm will be fine sir." I was curious to know how Damien convinced John to call me. "So Damien is close to you too?" with a very low tone I asked. "Yes his wife and I were in the same school and we often meet at parties too. I have some work now, so I have to get going. See you tomorrow." Before I could say anything else he hung up the call. "His wife?" I said out loud to myself. I was wondering what John meant when he said Damien had a wife and soon I remembered the time when Jennifer whispered to me, "He left me for a mission, he had a wife and a kid."

I wanted to know the whole truth about Jennifer and Damien. I did hate them for what they did, but I just had a feeling that they were hiding something. I wanted to know why Jennifer would call him her friend if he is her ex-boyfriend. So I called up Damien. "Hello" I heard Damien speak, his voice sounded confused. I knew that he was shocked to hear from me. "Damien I need to meet you, it's urgent. Tomorrow drinks at 8 pm at my place. I'll text you the address." I was angry at him and so I was directly on point. "Is everything okay? Why do you want to meet me all of a sudden? Did something happen?" He sounded very confused, but I was sure that he would figure out, why I called him. "I want to talk about Jennifer, I can't talk over the phone. If you really care about her you will come tomorrow." I said in a loud voice and I hung up the call before he could even reply. I assumed he would come if I mentioned Jennifer.
