Chapter 47 - Brina, I Am Louis's Fiancée

However, the main door which is actually opened a little, creaked open.

'Louis, you forgot yo-" Brina was about to tell something but as soon as she saw Charlotte. 

She suddenly stopped what she wanted to say. 

Surprise is written all over her face. 

Louis is sleeping in Charlotte's lap while she is caressing his hair.

That's.. that's? 

Brina blinked her eyes.

Not because of their position but because of Charlotte who is in Louis's house.

She didn't expect to see Charlotte there.

When it comes to their position. Well, she can't just judge by that.

Harry has slept on her lap many times before. Because, whenever he feels so downcasted or stressed he would share it with her just by sleeping on her lap like this.

Even her ex best friend, Remus used to sleep like that. Sleeping on the lap is one of an intimate thing, but it can be said in many ways. 

It can be a relationship of the best friends or siblings. And, it might be a boyfriend–girlfriend thing too. 

Also, It's too early to judge just by seeing them in this position.

Meanwhile..

As soon as Charlotte heard Brina's sweet voice, she lifted her head up and it would be a lie if she claimed that she's not surprised to see her here.

"Hi" Charlotte awkwardly greeted Brina. Not knowing what else to say. 

Given with the position she and Louis are in together, there are high chances Brina might misunderstand them. 

"Uhmm.. Hi" Brina greeted back with the same awkwardness.

"Well, Louis got a phone call and he accidentally forgot his phone in my room" Brina said breaking the silence that has etched in the room. 

As she said that, Brina walked towards Charlotte and handed Louis mobile to her.

"It's big brother Leo" Charlotte said. 

As Brina doesn't know who that person is, she just shrugged her shoulders.

"Then, I will be going first, since Louis is still asleep" she told awkwardly. 

She couldn't put her fingers on what their relationship could be.

Charlotte chuckled.

"Don't you have some questions that you want to ask me? Brina?" she couldn't help but ask.

She is actually surprised when Brina didn't overreact even after seeing her boyfriend with her like this.

It could be that Brina is mature enough not to judge people without a proper conversation. Or else, it could be that she believes in Louis a lot. 

"I have-" Brina is about to continue but Louis's phone starts ringing again and that made Louis wake up, startled.

"Brina?" he called out in surprise and then looked at Charlotte and their position.

'I hope she didn't misunderstood me and Charlotte' he thought to himself.

He, along with Calvin and Charlotte are best friends since the day they were born and in diapers. So he is very close to Charlotte as if she is his own sibling.

Moreover, she's a lesbian and it is likely, highly impossible for Charlotte to develop any feelings for him. Right? 

In addition to that, Charlotte has always treated  him as a brother, and still does 

While, he always looks after her like she is his sister. Well, a brother to be precise.

They have a healthy brotherhood between each other. 

"Louis, it's big brother Leo. It might be something important, I think. And why don't you go and take that call? Hmm?" Charlotte said. 

Leo is the former CEO of L&E corporations. 

As he became very busy in other matters, he passed down the CEO position to his little brother, Louis. 

Leo wouldn't disturb him until or unless it is too important to talk about.

"Meanwhile, I will talk to your girlfriend" Charlotte added, chuckling. 

Louis nodded his head. "But, don't you dare to tell any of my embarrassing childhood memories to Brina" he warned.

Charlotte stuck her tongue out and teased him. "I am gonna tell her all of your embarrassing childhood stories. What will you do, huh? Go to big brother Leo, crying like a child? Like how you used to do in your childhood" she teased.

Louis gritted his teeth. "It is you who used to do that, you little devil" he rebuked. 

Now, Brina will tease him for sure. Later on. 

Meanwhile, Brina couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Seeing them like this, she couldn't help but reminisce of her happy memories with her brother and sister-in-law. 

It used to be so much fun. She also used to complain about her brother to her sister-in-law just like how Charlotte is doing now. 

A faint sadness clouded her eyes but disappeared as soon as it came. How much she misses them. 

Louis, who heard his favorite chuckle, smiled at Brina. Standing up, he gave her a hug and pecked on her forehead.

"I'm gonna make your favorite coffee after I finish taking this call, okay?" he said to Brina while rubbing her back affectionately. 

However, he missed the sadness in her eyes which had disappeared as soon as he hugged her. 

Brina smiled and nodded her head as she leaned her head on his chest. 

If his and Charlotte's relationship is something that has to be hidden from her, they wouldn't be acting this way.

''I did a right thing by not overreacting" Brina thought.

"Hey, Louis. What about my favorite coffee?" Charlotte asked, pouting her lips like a duck. 

"You both actually share very similar tastes" he said, still hugging Brina.

Charlotte smirked.

"See, didn't I tell you?" she teased, wiggling her eyebrows at Louis.

What she meant is, 'See, aren't we a perfect couple together? We share some similar tastes'. 

Louis shook his head and went to his room to talk to his brother. 

"Well, actually. I didn't really expect to see you here" Brina said. 

"Louis is my childhood best friend and workout partner. We workout together mostly at evening times. But, today we have a meeting till late night, so it is not possible"  Charlotte said.

"Even my brother Calvin sometimes accompanies us, but he is out of the city" she said.

"Calvin is your brother?" Brina asked.

"My twin brother to be precise" Charlotte corrected. 

"Wow! Cool" Brina said. 

It is still awkward between them to talk so casually with Charlotte being her boss. But, with Louis it is different. She is familiar to him even before she

met him in company. 

However, with Charlotte, it is still awkward with them being boss and an employee. 

"And, when you saw me and Louis like that, I noticed that you were so composed. Did he already talked about me before? Hmm?" Charlotte asked.

Brina pursed her lips. He never told her that they were childhood friends and knew each other. 

He never even brought that topic!!

"Ahhh, let me guess. He didn't, right?" Charlotte spoke again and Brina nodded her head.

"Actually when I saw you both like that, you remembered me and my brother. So, I feel it's too early to judge you. And I guess, am right? No?" Brina said.

"Brina, actually I'm Louis's fiancée" Charlotte said.
