The Bad Boy Next Room (Charlie and Taylor)

"Charlie, Babe!"

Charlie snapped her head behind her, finding Taylor in the College of Business. She asked, "What are you doing here?"

"You did say you are in the same IS Management class as Luke. I just want to make sure you head to your next class without him harassing you." Taylor placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her out of the classroom.

When Taylor saw Luke, he smirked and gave him the finger. He mouthed, 'Stay away from my girl.'

Charlie saw how Luke fumed, but Taylor dismissed his reaction and simply grabbed her hand. He walked Charlie to her next class with everyone's eyes following them.

Sure, they had talked about it, but it still felt so strange to Charlie. She did not know how to act around Taylor, but thankfully, he took command of everything. From the bad boy that she thought he was, he easily transformed into this caring fake boyfriend!noveldrama

"You'll be fine in your next class, right? You have a class with Dawn later too," Taylor said, confirming.

Charlie nodded, her face warming slightly at the subtlety in his tone. It almost felt like he genuinely cared!

"Okay, I gotta go, Babe," Taylor said. Then, he did something unexpected. He pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and pinched her cheek. "We have a last- minute practice later, so I'll be late. See you at home."

Clearing her throat, Charlie looked away and answered, "Yeah, see you at home." Taylor frowned. He moved closer and whispered, "What will you call me, Charlie?" Forcing a smile, Charlie said, "See you later, Babe."

Taylor looked satisfied. He grinned and quickly left, clearly rushing to his next class.

Charlie was, yet again, the talk of the College of Business. Everyone was buzzing about her relationship with Taylor. Some expressed disappointment at how she betrayed the entire College of Business by dating the enemy.

It was crazy!

Thank goodness, Charlie's newfound friends thought otherwise. Dawn dragged her to the cafeteria for an afternoon break with Frank and Mia. The first thing that Mia said was: "Oh, my god, Charlie! I don't care if Taylor is the university's bad boy. He is so hot!"

Mia grabbed Charlie's hand, and after settling down, she asked, "Tell me the juicy details! Why didn't you say anything, and when did it all start!"

"I'm excited to hear it too," Dawn said before laughing. "Did you guys hear? Everyone talked about how Taylor had brought Charlie to class, and Luke was burning with rage!"

"I hope he dies of envy," Mia remarked.

"Let's not waste time. Tell us, Charlie. Tell us all about Taylor!" Frank said with gleaming eyes. "Is the sex hot?"

Charlie's mouth fell on the floor, dumbfounded. Who would have guessed that the handsome Frank Castello was gay? He was so attractive and manly, yet he was into Taylor?

Dawn and Mia laughed at Charlie's reaction. Dawn said, "I know, right? You never would have guessed."

"Don't worry. I'm not going to steal your man. I'm not a snake, just like Ashley and Sofia," Frank teased. "Tell me, please! How big is he?"

"Yes, tell us!" Mia asked.

Charlie could not believe her ears! It was precisely as Taylor had predicted. Then, she recalled some of the nights she spent with Ashley and Sofia. There were, in fact, times when they proudly talked about their sex life.

Despite Taylor giving her the go signal, Charlie dared not talk about his size. She said, “That's rather personal, but yeah -" Her face burned as she added, "He is great. He makes me feel so excited and - and - and loved."

'May the heavens forgive me!' Charlie scolded herself in silence.

"Aahhh!" Mia and Frank exclaimed.

"Charlie, you don't actually believe that Taylor is serious about you, right?" Someone called out from behind. When Charlie's group turned their heads, they saw it was Ashley. She was with Sofia and Regina.

"Charlie, why didn't you answer our calls?" Sofia asked. "Don't you know, we are just looking out for you? Taylor is no good for you. You are such a good girl, but Taylor, he dates multiple women!"

"Those girls who talk about dating Taylor are just spouting lies. I have heard some of them, but I have never seen them with Taylor," Mia pointed out.

"Yeah, Charlie's the first girl that Taylor brought to class and publicly called his girl," Frank added.

"Yeah!" Mia and Dawn said at the same time.
