Last time, James came over again to help Charles set up her computer in her room. She made him breakfast. I even thought about going to Tokyo Comicon in December. My mom even approved of it.
It is now Thursday.
At school, Charles walks up to James.
Amber-Rose, you can tell him, I know I can. I thought.
Hey James, Ryo made a suggestion. Charles replied. What suggestion are you proposing? James asked. Since Ryo wants to go back to see her mom around the first week of December. Charles replied. Where are you going with this? James asked. She wondered if you would like to go to Japan with her? Charles asked. Wait, as in real Japan? James asked. Yes, I have applied to get mine. Charles replied. That's cool, I already renewed mine anyway. I would love to go to Tokyo. James replied. From his expression, it flabbergasted him with the opportunity. I will tell her you said yes to the offer. Charles replied. She walks her way to class. OMG why are you so spaced out, Amber? Rea asked. Rea, I didn't see you there. Charles replied. Oh, let me introduce you to my friend, Delilah Columbine. Rea replied. Nice to put a name to a face. Charles replied. You know my name? Delilah asked. You are the red-haired girl who has Alexandre obeying you. Charles replied. What? Delilah asked. That's right, Amber-Rose and her twin brother went to Arc Academy during middle school and her first year of high school. Rea replied. Yeah, those two are inseparable. Time to get to class, Rea. Charles replied. Don't make it seem like I am always late. Rea replied. You are always late, Rea. Valkyrie replied. Not you too. Rea replied. Is she a transfer student? Charles thought. She rushed to class. James texted me.
James: Are you really doing this?
Me: I am so serious.
James: Are you doing this as a kind gesture or something else?
Me: If you want to come closer to Amber-Rose, come to Japan with us.
James: I will do it.
Me: I know how much you like her. No nice guy just helps out the same girl twice.
James: hmm
Me: I could tell the way you treat her, James.
When Charles went home, I opened the door for her. Hey so what did he say? I asked. He was happy from the sounds of it. Charles replied. Good for you. I replied. As she took off her shoes and flopped on her bed, James texted her.
James: Hey Amber
Charles: Hi James.
James: How has your day been so far?
Charles: It's been great, actually.
James: That's good.
Charles: Aren't you on the way to work?
James: My manager gave me off today?
Charles: Oh, that's a first. Every Thursday you bolt out after club activities.
James: Yeah, me working as a receptionist for the high-class restaurant uptown.
Charles: No wonder you look like a zombie on Mondays.
James: We don't leave until midnight-ish. I drive home and I live 20 minutes away so not that bad.
Charles: How about you relax for the day.
James: I can't do that.
Charles: How about I visit you tomorrow or Saturday instead.
James stopped texting. He didn't know how to respond.
What did you do? What did you text? I asked. She showed me the text. Oh Charles, fulfil that part of the bargain. I replied.
Me: What is your address?
James: 307 Alegria Drive
He then sends it to Charles. You should pop up at his place on Saturday morning to check-in on him. I replied. You 're right he didn't look right in the face. Charles replied.
James mother walked into his room.
You look like you're on cloud nine, James. Siân replied. Oh hi mom, your home already? James asked. Yes, I am off Friday. Siân replied. Oh, no. James thought. Stay Tuned.
