Chapter 198 - Cuddle all day

Shrugging his shoulders, Sebastian sighed, "No amount of time is enough when I am with you." Pulling her closer, he added, "Can't we just forget about work and everything else and just cuddle all day?" 

Pulling his cheeks, she chuckled, "You wanna abandon your precious work and cuddle with me all day?" When he nodded his head, she continued, "If we both don't work and cuddle all day, how will we survive and what will we eat?" 

"Don't worry about that, I have enough savings for us to survive through and through. Then we will send our favorite kid to college and then—" 

"K-Kids?" 

He nodded his head and answered, "Yes, kids." 

"You think about stuff like that?" she curiously inquired. 

"Yes, don't you?" When she shook her head, he thought for a while before answering, "Hmm it's okay though, I can think for both of us." 

Ellie was about to ask him something but a sudden phone call interrupted her. 

Looking at the caller ID, Sebastian informed, "It's Brandon, I'll just buzz him in." 

"Do you think it will be okay to leave them alone? I mean what if he lashes out at her?" 

"Don't worry honey, Brandon will not do that. We just need to give them some privacy and they can just talk it through," he assured her before stepping out of the room. 

…..

Living room. 

When Brandon stepped into the apartment, he sighed and helplessly shook his head when he saw Charlotte on the couch weeping. 

"She has been crying for almost an hour now without any break and just for the record, she has already finished the first box of tissue and that is the second one," Sebastian informed before walking away. He wanted them to solve their problems as soon as possible and leave his place, he did not like having visitors especially when he had taken a day off to spend time with his beloved. 

After Sebastian left, Brandon made his way towards the couch and sat down beside her. 

When Charlotte saw him, she started sobbing louder and threw herself in his arms. 

Brandon, who was not at all ready for the sudden hug attack gasped and quickly wrapped his arms around her. "Careful Charlotte." 

Clinging onto him, she started blubbering, "I thought I would never see you again." When he did not say anything she clung onto him even more and sobbed harder, "And now you are not saying anything, are you here to officially break up with me?" 

Caressing her messy wet hair, he sighed, "No I am not here for that." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he inquired, "Why did you lie to me Char?" 

Vigorously shaking her head, she answered, "I didn't want to but then I thought you would get mad and not talk to me if I told you about Jimmy. So I kept it away from you and decided to meet him in secret." Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "But as soon as I met Jimmy, I told him that nothing can happen between us because I love you. He was okay with it and we were just having a cup of coffee but you saw us and got all angry." 

Throwing her hand in her mouth, she started whimpering, "You were so mad and did not give me a chance to explain myself, you even shouted at me." 

Wiping her tears away, he sighed, "Don't cry anymore, your eyes already look so swollen." 

Burying her head on his chest, she sobbed, "You said that you don't want me anymore but I want you to want me." Pulling away, she looked at him and inquired, "What can I do to make you want me again?" 

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ears, he answered, "You don't have to do anything." Kissing the back of her hand, he continued, "It's not like I don't want you anymore Charlotte, you are way too precious to me to let go. I was just mad and couldn't control myself after I saw you with some guy when you were actually supposed to be in the clinic. How would you feel if I tell you that I am stuck in a meeting but you see with some woman at the movies?" 

Clutching onto his shirt, she started whimpering again, "Are you thinking of doing the same thing just to teach me a lesson? I swear Brandon, if you do that then I will kick that girls ass and ground you forever." 

"I won't do anything like that and I don't want you to repeat this in the future." Pausing for a while, he explained, "If you had told me the reason behind meeting Jimmy then I would have never stopped you from seeing your friends but considering the fact that you had a thing with that guy, I would have definitely accompanied you. Anyway, what I mean is that dont lie to me in the future because once we start lying to each other, things will start going downhill." 

Kissing her knuckles, he added, "I don't give a damn about the number of people you have dated or flinged in the past, all I care about is what happens after we get into a relationship because that is what matters." 

"I promise I will never lie to you in the future." Placing her hand on his cheek, she continued, "I want to give you and this relationship my everything Brandon, I want both of us to give it our best shot." 

Caressing the side of her arm, he smiled, "See, we both are in the same boat now." 

Wiping the remaining droplets of tears away, she sighed, "You made me cry so much today, now I am going to have a really tough time fixing my puffy eyes." 

"They will be okay by tomorrow, don't worry about it." 

Touching her own cheeks, she pouted her lips, "I bet I am looking very ugly with all the crying." 

"Not at all, you look very beautiful," he smiled.
