Attracted

She watched as the Chef prepared Donovan's food in front of him. She glanced at Donovan who turned his head at her. She quickly looked away as she still felt his stare at her. Lesley squinted her eyes at her brother and signed him to cut the stare. Then, she smiled at Charlotte and held her hand.

"By the way, as I promise the diamond earrings~~"

"I don't remember any promises," Charlotte said. "Don't worry about it. I am not taking anything from you."

Lesley was somewhat disappointed. Doesn't she want to be friends?

"But we'll see each other?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Then, stay tonight."

Charlotte's smile faded.

"Uh~~I can't."

"Please~~" She pouted. "We will drink so you should stay, okay? Besides, our drivers will be tired for the night."

Jace nodded his head.

"We have guest rooms," Donovan said. "Choose whichever room you want."

"Sleep with me!" Lesley was very indecisive and had that thought without thinking of Charlotte's reaction to it. She was very much excited about these things going on.

"What?" Charlotte asked.

"Oh, a slumber party? That's adorable." Jace commented as he sipped on his wine. "Let's have fun tonight and Donovan or I can drive you back to your house." He winked. "Don't worry, you are safe here."

"But~~I don't want to become a burden to you. Besides~~"

"You are not!" Lesley exclaimed.

"Charlotte, stay. You are giving Lesley a favor. Besides, be comfortable and treat this as your home." Donovan said.

She still hesitates and since she doesn't know them she wanted to leave so fast. But Lesley looked dear so, she nodded her head.

"Don't worry, I got you." Lesley winked.

"Let's eat!"

Charlotte thanked them for the food as she sipped on her water and ate. Donovan kept staring at her which made her uncomfortable. That's when Lesley glared at him for a long. Then, Donovan would look away. She gets comfortable as time passes. Lesley was keeping the mood light and fun together with Jace. Now, she understands their relationship.

Lesley is Donovan's baby sister while Jace is their childhood friend and COO of the company. Also, Donovan's executive. They own a lot of companies. It was like an Empire. They are rich and this house isn't a mansion but they have a mansion somewhere. Donovan doesn't plan to buy a mansion since it's not a big family anyway. He's that practical. But the house is big enough for Lesley to have all the things that would occupy her boredom.

She also learned that Lesley can't come out ever since the kidnapping. Somehow, she's glad that she got kidnapped along with Lesley, and that her other personality got activated. After their dinner, Lesley took her to her room and handed her new clothes. She took a bath and put on the dress that Lesley gave. It was a strap and she's glad that she had her underarm waxed yesterday. Also, it had a pad attached to it so her nipples won't show.

"You are so pretty!" Lesley pouted. Then, she took out a box and handed it to her. "This is yours."

"No." Charlotte pushed it away.

"I insist."

"Lesley, no." She shook her head. "I am not here to suck off your wealth."

"But~~" Lesley pouted and opened it. "You like these?"

"No. I don't." Charlotte sighed. "I don't know how to explain to you. But it's indeed beautiful when you wear it. I can't wear it, Lesley."

"Okay," Lesley put the diamond earrings back in the drawer. "Just tell me if you want it."

"Hmm," She shook her head. She then removed the towel from her hair and put it in the laundry basket. Then, Lesley helped her out to dry it off. She gently pushed her down in front of the dresser. Then, Lesley took out a microfiber towel and wrapped it around her hair, and squeezed it. Then, she used the fan to dry off her hair a little.

"I never had real friends, Charlotte and I are bored all day. Donovan prohibited me from coming out of the house after what happened."

"That's sad." Charlotte watched Lesley through the reflection. "What do you want to do? How about work?"

"Well, he doesn't want me to work, unless I enjoy it."

Charlotte smiled as Lesley took the hair blower.

"Your brother cares for you so much."

"Yeah, I am lucky to have him. He's the only family that loves me."

Lesley styled Charlotte's hair in a natural look, then they headed downstairs to the patio where Jace was preparing drinks with Donovan. They all turned their heads to Lesley and Charlotte as Donovan gawked at Charlotte. Lesley grinned and approached her brother as she hugged his neck from his back.

"You are too obvious, bro. Do you like her that much?" She whispered. Donovan cleared his throat. "She doesn't like the smell of cigarettes so you better get rid of it."

They watched as Charlotte who was currently chatting with Jace about the drinks and their snacks.

"I'll help you, you know that I can make her stay," Lesley whispered as Donovan patted her head in his response. "Great." She then sat next to Charlotte as Jace sat down and the maids and Butlers served their drinks and some cheese with crackers.

Charlotte pulled the cushion over her lap as she waited. Donovan picked up his martini glass as he moved it closer to his lips and watched as Charlotte picked up her cocktail and sipped on it. He smirked as they had a lot of fun drinking. This is his drinking time where he's not thinking about work but women. Donovan watched Charlotte's every move and she would catch him but he didn't care at all.

"So, Zoe~~Uh, I mean Charlotte, how did you get those moves?" Lesley asked. "The way you defend yourself from those guys is on a different level. Like you are a different person."

Charlotte was silent as she smiled at Lesley.

"Uh, I don't know." She chuckled and sipped on her cocktail. Then, she eyed the tequila that Jace and Lesley were drinking.

"Hey, have some." Jace poured a shot into her and then, Lesley taught her how to do it. She put down her cocktail and she took a shot with lemon and salt. She cringed as Donovan smiled. Lesley caught his brother smiling while Charlotte was making that sour face. But they drank again after another while eating fruits.

Donovan was just there silently watching them as they laughed at a few jokes. They were laughing at Jace's experiences with ladies and Lesley even revealed something about Jace. They kept on drinking until midnight and Charlotte was shivering and leaning on the sofa with pillows. She had her eyes closed. Both Lesley and Jace didn't realize that. The girl had a low alcohol tolerance. He stood and held Charlotte's wrist. She's knocked out.

"Hey," Lesley pulled Donovan's shirt. "Don't do something crazy. Take her to my room, I'll be there after we finish this."

"Hmm," He hummed and scooped Charlotte from the sofa and carried her upstairs. The maid who followed him quickly opened the door to Lesley's room. Then, she closed it after Donovan entered.

He gently put her on the bed as he pulled the duvet and covered it for her. She was shivering. He caressed her hair and tucked her in. She shuddered as she turned sideways facing him.

"Autumn," He whispered. However, she's not sure about her real identity. There's indeed something about her. The door opened as Lesley entered with Jace who was helping her.

"Okay! Out now, brother." Lesley said as she headed to the bathroom.

Donovan waved at Jace, shooing him, then he reached Charlotte's face to take a good look at her. He's certain that she's Autumn.

"Hmm," She opened her eyes as Donovan pulled away.

She felt like she was going to pee so she woke up and quickly headed to the bathroom upon realizing where she was. She took a long pee and finally headed back to Lesley's bed. She glanced at the clock, three in the morning. Then, she went back to sleep. The dream continues when there's Donovan who was forcing his tongue on her and somehow, she was enjoying it. She was enjoying the touch including the way he breathed in her ear and the sexy words that he said.

The sound of a phone alarm woke her up. She quickly got up upon realizing the time. Damn! She's late. She quickly headed to the bathroom and when she came out, she was surprised to see her clothes from yesterday that were newly washed and dry. It was also ironed. She put it on and the spare undies that she had in her bag. Then, she shook Lesley a little but she was sleeping deeply. Anyway, she headed downstairs as the maid handed her tea. She takes a sip.

"I need to go~~is anyone awake?" She asked.

"Yes, Master Donovan is waiting outside."

Charlotte started having that weird thump in her chest. She doesn't want to be with him right now after having that crazy~~crazy dream with him. She headed outside as Donovan was waiting while he checked his big bike.

"You're up," Donovan turned to her. "Good morning."

"Morning," She mumbled.

"We'll go faster with this." He handed her the helmet as she titled her head. He took the helmet back and tucked her hair at the back of her ear as he put the helmet on. Then, he adjusted it to put the visor on.

This is the first time that she was riding on his big bike and she felt very uncomfortable because he smelled good not a trace of smoke.
