《Delicate》XXVII. Jacob + Charlotte
Advertisement
You are still, such a jerk, but at least you're my jerk.
~ Third Person POV ~
It was the day after Hallow and Tristan's hang out and how they soon began to get together, everyone was really excited for them and even threw a small party before going live and adding Tristan, but nobody pressured them to come out to be dating.
Hallow and Tristan felt like they should wait at least a week before coming out to his fans and their followers because they knew that their relationship was very much fresh and new.
"It's raining so hard right now, I really want to go outside and play in it."
Venus sighed as they sunk onto the couch before spreading her limbs apart onto Dahlia's legs, Charlotte smiled and nodded as they also wanted to go out to the rain since it was almost their favorite weather.
Hallow was way more happier than usual, everyone was proud of them for finding someone who was similar as her, they knew how much Tristan had meant.
"Charlotte, I invited Jacob over because he needs some help with his lines for his new movie and then after that we were going to hang out, is that alright with you?"
Angel asked, Charlotte looked away from the window and at Angel before nodding their head, they wanted to know why Jacob didn't ask her to help him with his lines and more importantly, why he didn't say anything about a new movie that he was going to be starring in.
Yeah, not everyone needs to tell their friends everything especially when it comes to a movie or a TV show but Charlotte had felt like they were already so close to the point where they could tell each other everything.
The only thing that truly bothered them was the fact that they were going to hang out, Jacob and Charlotte haven't even hung out once, it was always them two and the rest of the group.
So knowing that their best friend would be hanging out with their crush alone was honestly soul crushing, but they didn't want to make it seem like they are angry about it.
"Char, is everything alright?"
Hallow asked as they sat down beside the girl who was no longer lost in their thoughts, Angel looked over at Charlotte wow being concerned about the way that they were or are feeling.

Charlotte forced a smile and nodded their head before walking upstairs to their room, Hallow sighed and looked over at Angel.
"I thought I told you that, that's not the way we would be telling her that Jacob was coming over."
Hallow scolded Angel before walking up the stairs to check on the obviously upset girl, the truth was that Jacob was coming over but not because he was going to be in a new movie and certainly not because he needed help with his lines.
It was just so that Angel could help Jacob tell Charlotte how he feels about them, obviously he couldn't go to Charlotte about this because it was about her and how he felt about them.
Dahlia and Venus didn't want to help him because they thought that he wasn't really worthy enough to be with Charlotte, Hallow was going to help him but decided that the plan would be a little difficult and that they needed another person's help, Mia couldn't even be included because she was really close to Charlotte.
So Angel and Hallow were once again in charge of getting Jacob to explain his feelings to their best friend, it wouldn't be easy considering that Charlotte could blow up at something that was said in the wrong way.
Hallow was currently trying to cheer up Charlotte before Jacob got here, Angel was trying to text Jacob to be the nicest he could be, if not he was going to get hit by car.
Dahlia and Venus was just sitting on the couch as they watched Angel scatter around the house trying to figure what she was going to say and how Jacob was going to be confessing.
"This is way more entertaining than watching Sofia The First, what do you think Vee?"
Dahlia asked her best friend who was laying on top of them, Venus looked at her best friend and then back at Angel who was rapidly messaging Jacob to make sure that he got everything he needed and to remember how he was going confess, Venus could only laugh.
"Very much more enjoyable as well, something about Angel freaking out over Jacob not doing the right thing makes me all warm inside."
Venus joked, Angel just rolled her eyes and walked outside to see if Jacob was there already, which he was and together, they both walked inside.

Jacob was a little nervous but he was nicely dressed which was a good thing, he has some ripped black jeans and a nice shirt, nothing too fancy but nothing too casual.
Angel messaged Hallow that Jacob was here and that they needed to come downstairs right now to get the plan back on track, luckily for them, Charlotte was already calm and finally felt better.
Hallow held hands with Charlotte was they hit the steps and raced one another down, Hallow didn't like running down the stairs but she would do anything to make their best friends happy.
That's something a lot people hardly ever realize, if your best friend is willing to do something they hate because you love it is someone you need to hold onto and never let go.
Charlotte met eyes with Jacob and she couldn't bring herself to speak to him, they didn't know what they were supposed to say, Jacob smiled at the girl in front of him and waved.
"Hey Char, I wanted to talk to you about something very important."
Jacob said with a smile on his face but Charlotte didn't want to talk about whatever he wanted to talk about, you see, Charlotte's some what a petty person and needs to at least be mean for a minute before being nice.
It was the way she was made, when they were going to in person school, it was how people treated them and that's why they are the way that they are now.
"Oh, so you want to talk to me about what? Or do you want to immediately go with Angel and do whatever the hell you both feel like doing alone?"
Charlotte sassed even though the words didn't really make sense when they left her mouth, Jacob furrowed his eyebrows as he wasn't expecting them to be mean to him, Hallow slapped her friend's arm and glared at them.
Charlotte only rolled her eyes, although it was pouring rain, they felt the need to go outside and get a breather.
"I don't think I want to be here with you, go practice your lines with my best friend and then make out while you're at it."
Charlotte spat as they walked outside of the house, their skin being immediately pierced by how hard the rain was coming down but they only gasped when the cold droplets made it known that they touched her skin.
Jacob stood at the door confused, Charlotte began to run away from the house just angry, Angel sighed and looked at Hallow with an uneasy look.
They were both trying to come up with something to say but where cut off when they heard the door open and slam shut, everyone raced to the windows and watched as Jacob ran as fast as he could to catch up to Charlotte.
She had a head start but Jacob was determined to run and grab her before she gotten to far out reach.
"Charlotte stop!"
Jacob shouted as he finally caught up to them, he grabbed their arm and twirled them around so they were facing each other, tears stained Charlotte's cheeks as her eyes were slowly glowing red.
That's all she saw anyways, red.
"Stop what?! You want to hang out with anyone, you can, I'm not stopped you!"
Charlotte spoke, they didn't like how toxic it sounded as it left a sour taste in their mouth but she wanted to get their point across that they weren't together therefore he can do whatever.
"What is wrong with you, I'm not even going to be in a movie nor are we hanging out!"
Jacob spat, the two were now furious with one another and it felt like it would only be so long before they exploded, Charlotte rolled her eyes and turned away before beginning to walk away.
Not wanting to let them leave his life and sight, Jacob swiftly grabbed their arm and before Charlotte could say anything, he smashed his lips against her.
Charlotte reacted quickly and wrapped their arms around his neck, before pulling away slowly and looking at him as now they were soaking wet.
You are still, such a jerk, but at least you're my jerk.
Charlotte muttered before they both kissed again, nothing in the world mattered anymore.
They have each other and in their eyes, that's really all they needed.

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.
