Getting settled
As Evan walked away Charlotte stood in a daze. She had not had this sort of interaction before. She was unsure why it was happening, but she knew that Evan made her heart quicken. She may not have known what to say or do when he was around, however she liked it when he was near. His scent was warm and captivated her blocking others from her mind when he was near. His eyes were deep and dark brow with an inner ring of yellow. There is a wildness to those eyes that seemed to see through you and hold nothing back. His hair was dark brown, faded up the sides, and longer on top. Combed back with gel however when he leaned down to look in her eyes earlier, his hair had fallen to the front making him peer through to meet her eyes. His smile shown of longer k-9 teeth reminding her of a vampire though she was sure it was unintentional. His shirt was black and had zippers on it and it hugged to his body showing every muscle as well as details of the six pack he had. His pants were also black with faded grey. They were a cotton like material and also had four pockets at the top and they hugged his legs going down to his black boots. The boots were not laced up all the way and the tongue hung forward in a casual fashion. He had many rings on his fingers, some which were stacked. His nails were painted black and his ears had crosses hanging from them. He looked all of 6'5" if not more, his build wide at the shoulders. He had a tattoo behind his left ear that Charlotte could see when he turned to leave. The tattoo was of a dragon and the body of the dragon ran down his neck and disappeared under his shirt. She wondered what else he had under his shirt.
Charlotte stood there in a daze long after Evan left. Nate had to call her name more than once to gain her attention. Charlotte then changed the subject as quickly as she could asking Nate if he knew where a good coffee shop is so that she could get a coffee before heading back to her apartment.
Nate looked at her deeply, he wanted to say more to her but thought better of it. He then motioned for her to come with him as he led her to the coffee shop that is on campus.
Behind the counter at the coffee shop Charlotte could see a familiar face. Alan, one of her guards, was standing behind the counter assisting the female students that were crowding the counter to get closer to him and his muscles. Charlotte let out a little chuckle feeling a bit sorry for the situation that Alan had now found himself in. Looking up he saw her come in and smiled at her. As if he felt that him being there now had meaning, he started creating all the coffees the girls ordered and they slowly left the counter to sit at the tables and ogle him.
Finally it was Charlottes turn. She made her way up to the counter and before she could order her iced coffee, Alan placed one in front of her. Nate looked confused and said, "I thought you said you hadn't been here before and you needed directions?'.
Charlotte then looked stunned and recovered quickly by stating that while they were walking she had placed the order online. Alan then helped by confirming what she said. Nate took what she said as the truth and moved on. Charlotte sighed and decided then and there that she had enough excitement for the day and would head back to her apartment and rest for the remainder of the day.
After Nate ordered his Iced Americano, Charlotte took the opportunity to let him know that she was tired and ready to head home. He understood and offered to walk her home as this being a new place for her and she being unfamiliar. In truth Nate did not feel secure that Evan wouldn't come popping out of the woodwork to attempt to sweep her off her feet the minute Nate wasn't around.
Charlotte thought about the offer and decided it was not a bad idea. She advised Nate that the apartment is within walking distance if he did not mind a little further. He agreed. Upon hearing this Alan turned and touched his earpiece advising the others that Charlotte is heading to the apartment.
Nate and Charlotte walked the few blocks to the apartment building where Charlotte would be staying. She advised him that her apartment is on the top floor and she would be heading in. He told her to sleep early. She thanked him for walking her home and entered the building.
Upon her leaving, Nate watched on the sidewalk until he saw the light come on in the apartment that Charlotte had advised was hers. He then rubbed the back of his neck wondering if she is safe enough staying there by herself. Feeling unsettled he walked back toward the campus to go to his own dorm.
The apartment building had six apartments. One for Charlotte, Alan, Grayson, Seth, Axel, and Bull. These being all from her security team, she had no worries coming home each night. A passcode or fingerprint had to be entered into the front door of the building, therefore not just anyone could get in.
Once home she took her shoes off at the door and placed them on the rack. Then she put her books away and gathered her clothes for the shower. Charlotte was completely and utterly exhausted and could not wait to go to sleep. She sent a message to the team advising them of her plans, then took her shower, dried her hair, and went to bed.
In her dreams Evan was there. He was standing too close to her making her heart race and her stomach flutter. He reached out touching her chin and pulling her lip out from between her teeth. He then wipes the blood with his thumb and sucks the blood from his thumb as he did the first time they met. She found her body heated up completely, she felt uncomfortable......... breathing heavily. She woke up from the dream the moment their lips were about to meet. She woke up disappointed. She had never been kissed. Waking up in such a state did not assist her with being calm on the first day of classes. She was already so effected by him and they had only met twice. This is going to be a long year!
