Chapter 152 - "L-Like a date?...."

Inching closer, Charlotte ran her finger through his chest and smiled, "Potato Po-tah-to, it's the same thing isn't it? And I like Timmy better."

"D-Do you want me to c-change my name?" Jimmy shuttered.

Ignoring his question, she added, "Show us the spot which will be perfect for camping."

"Yes of course, please this way." Jimmy guided everyone inside the man-made forest.

Walking behind everyone, Charlotte was trying to maintain a decent distance with the Jimmy guy. She had no intention of ever contacting him if not for the urgency that they had been facing.

"So who is he? Your sideman?" Brandon curiously inquired.

"I prefer calling him a one time fling, keeping a sideman forever is not my thing," She answered.

Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, "Fling? This guy? And here I thought you are very picky."

"What are you talking about? Of course I am. And unlike some other person—" pointing at Brandon, she continued, "We actually had fun that night and we also did it twice. So that guy who you are making fun of can actually do it."

Scrunching his brows, he whined, "Seriously how long is this going to go? I am telling you to give me a chance but you don't want you and you are also making fun of me, like what am I supposed to do?"

Placing her hand on his chest, she leaned forward and whispered, "Surprise me."

"I—"

Without waiting for his reply, she smirked and walked away. 

Brandon on the other hand, who was still trying to analyze why he ended up getting nervous and dumbfounded whenever Charlotte teased him, took a deep breath and muttered, "Surprise me, I surely will surprise you Charlotte Adams."

…..

Looking around, Ellie smiled, "This place is beautiful, isn't it?"

Looking at her, he smiled and nodded his head, "It surely is."

"So this is the perfect spot for camping, there is a lake nearby so you guys can go sightseeing, there is a place right behind that bush where you will get all the wood for the fire and if you guys crave for beer, the freezer is stocked with them. I have asked someone to make the martinis and store them, Charlotte loves them so that is for her."

"You like Charlotte don't you?" Melissa inquired.

Looking at Charlotte who was busy discussing something with Noah, Jimmy gulped in nervousness, "Is it that evident? Do you think she knows? Do you think she likes me too, otherwise why would she call me yesterday?"

Not knowing what to say, Melissa smiled and patted his shoulder, "You are a great man with a great place, thanks for letting us camp here."

"Dude you mentioned freezer, where is it?" Owen curiously asked. All he could see was tall trees and bushes so it made him wonder where the damn freezer was.

"Oh there is a small cottage not too far away from here, my dad made it so that we could chill here at times," Jimmy answered.

Placing the bags on the ground, Calvin sighed, "Alright people, let's start setting up the tents."

Glancing at his watch, Jimmy said, "I'll take my leave first and please be careful of snakes—"

Cutting him off, Brandon widened his eyes in shock, "What? S-Snakes?"

Jimmy nodded his head and answered, "Yes, there are quite a few here so be careful."

Gritting his teeth, Brandon groaned in frustration, "Ahh I hate those crawling creatures, they creep me out."

"Don't worry man, the moment i see a snake, I'll send it over to your place for a little visit," Calvin chuckled.

"This isn't funny and isn't this a private property? So why are there snakes?" Brandon fumed.

"Pfft yes because snakes understand the policy of ownership and deed," Ava chuckled.

"Yes and also, they are very afraid of jail or a legal lawsuit," Melissa added.

Brandon frowned and grumpily dropped his bag on the floor. "Stop making fun of me, everyone has something they are scared of okay? Nothing new." 

"Alright guys have fun, I'll take my leave now and if anything happens, give me a call without any hesitation."

"Thank you so much Jimmy, you are really very nice." 

After bidding everyone goodbye, he was about to leave when Charlotte stopped him. "Jimmy, wait." 

"Charlotte, do you want me to stay too? I really but I can't, I have something really 0important to attend and—"

Cutting him off, she said, "That was not what I was about to ask but anyway, I wanted to ask about that thing I had asked you to arrange." 

"Oh that, yes everything is arranged. Just give me a call when it starts, I'll instruct my men." 

Grabbing his hand, she smiled, "Thank you so much Jimmy, I really appreciate everything that you have done for me and my friends. I'll never forget it." 

Hesitating for a while, he gathered all his courage to ask, "Do you want to grab a cup of coffee someday?" 

"Sure, I'll call you." 

….

Raising his eyebrows at Brandon who was staring at Charlotte and Jimmy, Naoh inquired, "What is up with you and Charlotte? I mean how do you both know each other?" 

"We just know each other, nothing special." Gritting his teeth, Brandon snapped, "Look at her happily talking to him, that douche is so ugly and doesn't even have a dressing sense. I mean just look at those black and white sneaks, his shaddy jeans and that t-shirt, which era is he living in?" 

Patting his back, Noah sighed, "I think you have issues." 

….

Thinking for quite some time, Sebastian gathered all his courage and asked, "El, will you go sightseeing with me later? Around sunset?" 

Ellie, who was giving Boji her treats, smiled and nodded her head, "Of course, I would love to go with you. Should we ask others too? Wait a sec, Mel—"

Stopping her midway, he added, "No, I mean just you and me." 

Biting her lower lip, she asked, "Just you and me? L-Like a date?"
