Suddenly the cellphone on the kitchen counter rang, Felina stood from the table flipping her phone open answering the call. It was her brother Xation calling with a message for Charles, and to make sure Serena had woken up early enough to make the flight. "Yes, she left the house around six this morning with the boys." Felina replied not sounding too enthusiastic.
Concerned with her melancholia he asked his sister "Le perece bien?"
"Si, pero, bebi demasiado anoche." Felina lied to her brother, for it was not a long night of drinking which made her feel so dismal. Xation told her to take a hot shower to sleep her hangover away , but she was not hung over, nor did she wish to go back to her cold, lonely bed.
Charles remained still as he sat across the table while Felina spoke to her brother in Spanish, so he could not understand what she was saying and he feared the worst. Thinking she would divulge his sexual encounter last night, but Felina, of course, would be ashamed for anyone in her family to know what had transpired, so she kept quite on the matter. Felina carried on her brief conversation with Xation then she hung up the phone and glanced over at Charles, who looked like he had just been handed a death sentence.
"Cheer up, nothing is as ever as bad as it seems." Felina said giving him a sympathetic smile. "You are not to blame, in way, for what happened last night. Do not worry my friend, this situation does not alter the deep feelings of respect and admiration I have for you." she said warmly trying to comfort Charles for he was clearly distressed by the whole affair.
"I just feel sickened, I thought I was with you." he confessed.
"Do not let this trouble you, for I can assure you there are far worse things in this World to worry about. I will have a serious discussion with Serena and I do apologize for what has occurred here in my house." Felina paused then the brightness returned to her eyes as the light of happiness shone from her face, making Charles feel relaxed once again as before. "Besides Charles, you have an appointment to keep with my brother at his office in one hour. Xaton needs to discuss the preparations for your new office, at the estate. Do you remember how to get there?"
"Yes, I think so." Charles said dreading facing the brother of the sisters he had just ravished less than 18 hours ago. "I'll just go have a shower and get dressed." he said as Felina sat in her chair picking at her food. Charles went over taking her by the hand, kissing the back of it softly with his lips, in a most gentlemanly fashion then he went back to his room.
Felina sat there a moment longer when her cell phone rang again, swallowing her mouthful of eggs she answered "Hola?" It was her real estate agent calling with an update on the sale of the Cock and Bull. This was welcome news to Felina, however there was one stipulation to the agreement. The buyers were ready to sign, at her asking price, but due to the time limitations of their schedule, her agent requested Felina come down to the property to meet with new owners immediately to sign the contract. Felina was very upset by this, as she did not wish to go back into that building ever again. Before she responded, she stopped and thought for a moment of perhaps asking Charles to go with her, but Felina refused to give into the gentle pull of the love she held for Charles in her heart, so she resisted this temptation and with a dreadful, foreboding feeling Felina agreed to meet her real estate agent in 1 hour to sell the English pub she owned.
Felina hurried to clear the dishes, rinsing them off, placing them in the dishwasher, then she hurried upstairs to get ready. Now while she was having a quick shower, Charles had emerged from the bathroom feeling too embarrassed to live, not knowing how to react when he saw Serena again. He, at this point, did not know what to do. Once more the thought crossed his mind to leave, he could grab some clothes and his money and drive far away in his Mercedes while Felina was up in her room. But where would he go, he had no friends except for these people he had ingratiated himself upon, and what of his new job? Charles thought of all these things as he dressed himself in one of his hand tailored suits, and as he walked down the hall, to the foyer to retrieve his keys, Charles noticed a small, hand drawn map, of the quickest route to Xation's office from the house, a friendly gesture of Felina's. Charles shouted out a goodbye to Felina, but she was still in the shower and did not hear him. Charles locked the door behind him with his newly given key, suddenly realizing this would be the first time Felina had been alone since her attack last week. Charles reassured himself Felina would be just fine as he hopped into his convertible that rainy, Summer's day and drove away, for he did not wish to be late for his meeting, nor did Charles wish to keep Xation waiting.
