Chapter 177 - 175: Before The Final Match II (1/2)

After their make out session, Serena gave Charlton a tour of her room. It was not that big, but he was curious.

”I didn't know that the school was this discriminating. My whole room is only the size of your bedroom.” Charlton commented.

”Now I'm curious to see the room you're staying at. Would it be possible for me to enter your dorm later?” she asked as she handed him a dental kit.

Charlton shook his head, ”It would be quite difficult now as it's already noon. Also, I need to get back to the field earlier for the finals match. Besides, there's nothing much to see and it would be too risky. The men's dorm is much stricter than yours.”

Serena nodded her head in understanding, ”Okay, but how did you manage to get here?”

”I learned from a reliable source that last year, all the ladies, even those at the reception, went to the field to watch the polo's semi-final and final match. Apparently, it was true, so here I am.”

She sighed, so much for thinking that they have a better venue now.

Charlton chuckled then tapped her nose. He knew exactly what her sigh meant.

As it was only noon, they spent their time in the room cuddling, snuggling, and tickling each other.

When they got tired of laughing too much, they settled for a more comfortable and relaxing position. Charlton lied on his back while Serena lied on her side nestling her head into the crook of his left arm. Her left hand was resting over his chest with his right hand on top of it.

”So, how'd you like the match earlier?” Charlton asked as he looked at her while he caressed her hand with his thumb.

Serena smiled, recalling the time he entered the field, ”It was good, but my favorite part was when you went in the field. You looked really dashing. Can you do that mock salute for me again?”

Charlton chuckled and pinched her nose, ”Just as I thought, you only love me for my body.”

Serena slapped his hand, ”Would you please stop doing that? So annoying.”

”But your nose is too cute. I can't help myself.”

”Hmpft! Anyway, I want to tell you something before you hear it from anyone else, but I'm not sure if it will affect your final match. So would you like to hear it now or later?”

”Now is good.” Charlton replied. He knew that it was about Geoffrey and he was glad that she chose to open it up first without him even asking.

”Okay. I'm not sure if you saw earlier, but he joined me and my friends to watch your match. I tried to dissuade him, but he insisted on joining us. Then, during the divot stomping, he… to tell you the truth, I'm a little worried about his assertiveness. I don't want you to think that I'm not trying enough to reject his advances. But no matter what I tell him, he just won't stop.”

Charlton tightened his hold on her hand. He felt so useless. ”I'm sorry that…”

”No, you don't need to apologize. I understand the situation we're in and I'm telling you this because I don't want you to misunderstand me… earlier, I asked him what he thinks of me breaking our engagement.”

Charlton sighed, ”I bet that didn't end well.”

”Well, it didn't, and to tell you the truth, with how he's been acting, I'm worried of what will happen when he finds out about us. I have never given it much thought before, but now I feel guilty for dragging you in this with me… he's your cousin and I… I'm sorry…”

Charlton hugged her then he chuckled, ”Are you feeling guilty now?”

Serena slapped his chest, ”And here I'm pouring my heart out and that's all you have to say?”

He smiled at her as he shook his head. ”Serena, you should not think that when it comes to me. This is also my choice and no matter what happens in the future, I would never regret it.”

”Really?”
