Maximus:
I swear, if Charlotte didn't help me, I would've lost my mind. Helanie saw me leave with Charlotte, so this mission needed to be done in a nicer and more perfect way.
"So, where are we going?" she asked me, clapping her hands happily and sitting up in her seat.
I stopped the car after we arrived at the hotel's parking lot, where I had booked a room.
"Maximus, what's wrong?" The moment I let out a sigh, she started questioning me.
"I'm in a hot mess," I sighed, leaning back in my chair.
"What kind of mess? I'm sure whatever it is, you can handle it," she gently placed her hand on the back of mine, and I felt a rush of emotions inside me. I never imagined her touch could do that to me. I used to have so many girlfriends and one-night stands. But falling for Helanie changed everything for me.
And now, Helanie's effect was so strong that Charlotte's touch was making me feel sick. It felt like I was being touched by something poisonous. I couldn't feel anything romantic.
