CHAPTER 18
You and Me [ENGLOT]
Today, Charlotte spent the night at Mew's house. The two of them had just finished dinner and were relaxing in the living room. Thinking about their wedding day in six months, Mew decided to search for a wedding theme on his phone. A big smile appeared on his face when he found several wedding themes that he felt were suitable for him and Charlotte then quickly showed them to Charlotte.
Charlotte only glanced at him for a moment before returning her focus to her cellphone screen, her hands still typing something on her phone. Her actions made Mew feel offended.
" Babe ? Babe ? Charlotte !? "
Mew called out in a rather high pitched tone, making Charlotte flinch.
" Huh ? Why Babe ? Why are you raising your voice ? "
Mew took a deep breath before offering a apology to the woman.
" Sorry babe, I called you earlier but you still didn't answer. Who did you text with ? "
Mew asked, trying to calm down. Charlotte, who thought nothing had happened, turned her attention back to her phone.
" Oh, I'm texting with Engfa "
Charlotte replied in a calm tone. This made Mew, who initially tried to stay calm, not happy anymore. It can be said that almost every day Charlotte kept mentioning Engfa's name and that made him feel even more annoying. Charlotte also didn't spend much time with him since Engfa's presence in their lives. In fact, their wedding preparations had not been discussed for a long time and this made Mew feel challenged by Charlotte's attitude.
His gaze still on Charlotte, he tried to regain his composure.
" Babe, can you stop talking about Engfa for one day ? "
Charlotte raised her eyebrows, confused
" Why ? Everything was fine before, what's wrong ? "
" Yeah, I know, but if you talk about her every day, I'll get bored too "
Charlotte tried to show her displeasure, Mew quickly approached her
" Hmm don't say that you are jealous of Engfa ? "
" No Babe, I'm not jealous, I'm just asking you to stop talking about her, at least for a day. Plus I'm not stopping you from being friends with her, please....."
Charlotte still with the same reaction made Mew almost lose patience
" What's your problem ? If you weren't jealous, you wouldn't talk like this right ? Engfa didn't do anything to you, so please don't talk to me like this "
Mew continued to approach, wanting to reassure Charlotte that he needed her attention
" Babe... I don't want to argue with you either. I just noticed that lately you've been ignoring me a lot, you haven't tried to make preparations for our wedding. Do you know we're getting married in 6 months ? "
Charlotte is increasingly confused by her fiancé's attitude. At first, Mew asked her to stop talking about Engfa, now he says that he has been ignored and tells her that she has not made any preparations for their wedding. The words that come out of Mew's mouth make Charlotte even more confused.
" What do you really mean, huh ? Now you want to blame me for ignoring you, you want to blame me for not doing anything to prepare for our wedding ? Yes, I know our wedding is 6 months away but we still have plenty of time to do it. Why are you in such a hurry, huh ? Besides, my house isn't ready yet "
Charlotte said angrily. Mew next to her tried to calm her down. Mew knew that this would eventually turn into a big fight too. Besides, this wasn't the first time they had fought about Engfa and their wedding preparations. It had happened many times even though they both promised not to talk about it.
" Babe, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I just feel like our relationship is really far apart, so I'm trying to fix it "
" Hmm Mew, you're thinking too much. I already told you that if my house isn't finished yet, we won't get married. Why don't you understand ?! "
" Charlotte......please "
Mew tried to calm things down, he tried to hold the woman's hand but Charlotte couldn't seem to calm herself
" We promised not to fight for the same reason again, but you keep repeating it, I'm tired. You said I ignored you, if I really ignored you, I wouldn't stay here tonight. Plus you're busy, you actually don't have time for me ! "
Mew chuckled, Charlotte was really testing his patience.
" Babe, I'm busy with work. We used to have no problem if I didn't have time for you, but why are you complaining now ? "
Asked Mew who was still able to control his angry emotions.
" So why do you want to argue that I always go out with Engfa ? Why ?! "
" Because you and your other friends aren't like that Charlotte ! You're too obsessed with her ! You don't realize what you're doing is hurting me. Plus, I'm busy working for our future, not because I cheated on you ! "
Mew replied, finally shedding tears, disappointed with his fiancé's attitude. He didn't know why Charlotte seemed to have changed after getting to know Engfa.
Charlotte also realized that her relationship with Mew was also becoming more problematic. Before, if they fought, everything was fine, but lately their relationship has been difficult to repair even after fighting. But she didn't want their relationship to end just like that. They were also engaged, and would soon be married, so she didn't want their four-year relationship to end just like that.
Charlotte approached Mew and hugged him tightly. She hoped this was the last time they would have a big fight like this. Hopefully it wouldn't happen again.
" I'm sorry babe, I'm really sorry. I didn't intend to hurt you. I'm really sorry "
" I'm sorry too babe. Promise me that we will always be together, okay ? I love you so much "
Charlotte just kept quiet. She didn't know why her mouth was so heavy to say those three words when it had never been a problem for her before. What had happened to her ?
