~ Los Angeles, Charlie's villa ~

Charlie's car pulled into the circular driveway of his villa. The driver stopped the car and waited for the passengers to alight.

Emma and Charlie are on the back seat.

Emma gave a side-glance to Charlie. "When you said that we are going home, I thought that you will drop me off at my home, not yours."

Charlie sighed. "Emma, this is OUR home. I hope you accept this soon. Also… It's late, and this is closer. If I drop you off first, it will be midnight by the time I'm back. And tonight was stressful, I don't want to be by myself…"

Emma pressed her lips on top of his to prevent him from talking further. "Stop with excuses. We are already here, so I will let it slide now. But the next time, please tell me in advance instead of kidnapping me to spend the night at your place."

Charlie smiled. "Sure."
