Chapter 164 - Charlotte over pleasure

"Hey, never once did I mention anything about spending time or whatever with anyone," Brandon frowned.

"Okay, you didn't and let's say that I assumed things but let me get this straight—" pausing for a while, Clavin continued, "So no free hotel rooms but only access to my place?" 

Snapping his fingers, Brandon nodded his head in agreement, "Exactly and not because I want to spend time with her but there is some unfinished business and things which I need to clear with her for self satisfaction , no other reason." 

Raising his brows at him, Calvin nodded his head, "Okay, but later you can't change the deal." 

"I won't and I will also not tell Sebastian or Noah about it, my lips are sealed until further notice." Winking at them, Bradon cracked his fingers and left.

Placing her hands on her hip, Ava breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, that was so close."

Looking at Brandon's retrieving back, Calvin nodded his head, "Close and strange."

"What do you mean?" 

"Do you even realize what Brandon just did?" When she gave him a weird look, he answered his own question, "He just prioritized Charlotte over pleasure, I had a doubt that something was going on between him and Charlotte but I never thought it was this deep."

Pouting her lips, she pondered, "From what Charlotte told us, they don't seem that close."

Hooking his arm around his shoulder, he smiled, "Well, I think we have a fun show to witness in the future honey."

….

Wondering why he decided to choose a stupid access to Calvin's place for Charlotte than asking for free rooms where he could take his dates to, Brandon was trying very hard to deal with his complicated emotions when he bumped in Charlote. 

"What on earth are you trying to do?" she snapped before glaring at him.

Looking at the huge coffee stain, he nervously chuckled, "Sorry, I was thinking about—" Stopping midway, he cleared his throat and continued, "I was thinking about the dates that I have scheduled after we return back."

"Do you have any idea how difficult it is to remove coffee stains?" she fumed.

Shrugging his shoulder, he entered the tent without answering her question which fumed Charlotte even more.

….

Inside the tent.

When Charlotte entered the tent to change her top, Brandon was scrolling through something on his phone. "Step out for a bit." When he did not flinch, she raised her brows and decided to ignore him and pretend as if he wasn't there.

Catching the hem of her top, she took it off and tossed his aside before looking for another one.

Brandon who was listening to his favorite music, widened his eyes in shock and jolted up. "What the—what are you trying to do?"

"What? Since you didn't want to go out, I did not have any choice." Picking up a blue top, she inquired, "Is this yours?" 

Covering his eyes, he nodded his head. He didn't wish to see her in a half-n.a.k.e.d state, it just didn't feel right. 

"I am borrowing it and why the hell are you closing your eyes?" she chuckled.

"Just wear that damn t-shirt and tell me after you do," he snapped.

Raising her brows, she pursed her lips. "No seriously, what is wrong with you?" When he did noy say anything, she wore the t-shirt and left. 

After sometime when he opened his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief. When was the last time he actually covered his eyes when there was a half n.a.k.e.d woman right in front of him? Burying his face on the pillow, he groaned in frustration, "What the hell is wrong with you Brandon Haawick?" 

…..

Monday. (Returning Day)

Looking around, Melissa sighed, "I don't feel like leaving this place."

"Me too, this was actually the best camping trip of my entire life," Ava added.

Tightening her grip around Sebastian's arm, Ellie smiled, "Yes, it was the best trip ever."

"You guys, I think we all should plan more trips in the future. Let's go for a long one later, what do you all say?" Noah inquired.

All the others immediately nodded their heads and readily agreed before giving Sebastian a weird look because he was the only one who ditched whatever plans they made.

Wrapping his arms around Ellie, Sebastian smiled, "I don't really have a reason to say no until my girlfriend says yes, I'll go wherever you guys want to."

Helplessly shaking his head, Brandon sighed, "This man is f.u.c.k.i.n.g doomed, he is like a puppet already." 

"What? Do you want him to be like you? Seb is a responsible man who knows what his priority is. He prioritized work before because he had nothing else to do but now he has El and that they are dating, there are things that he needs to do as a boyfriend." Turning towards him, Ava added, "Unlike you who doesn't care about anyone else other than yourself." 

Scrunching his brows, Brandon snapped, "Hey, I am not selfish okay? I let you sleep all over me and I even sacrificed my sleeping space for you inside that tent. Isn't that enough to say that I am not selfish?" 

Picking up his and Ava's bag, Calvin chuckled, "Both of you have serious issues to solve." 

Ignoring Charlotte's and Brandon's battering, everyone picked up their things and started walking out of the place, towards their car.

…..

Sebastian's car.

Placing Boji in the back seat, Sebastian opened the passenger door for Ellie and smiled, "Ready to go home?" When she smiled and nodded her head, he gave her a peck on her cheeks. 

The last two days were the best days of his life, not only did he spend his entire time with Ellie but he also had lots and lots of fun with his friends. He was also very reluctant to leave the place but he knew that there were many more things he still had to show Ellie and many more places to visit, they had a bright future ahead of them.
