  Charles quickly wraps him over his royal evening robe by warming him up and hugging him.

  - I'm here Bae, I'm going to protect you from all the evil and distress you may be feeling, I'm reassured that I will always be here.

  C. decides to put it to take a hot and long shower because it would certainly arise some positive effect, supported on his shoulders, turns on the big shower and asks the friend to go under the hot water that he was still dressed, Baeyong enters the water, still with ghastly and frightening feelings, manages to formulate a small sentence sign that his consciousness was returning completely.

  - Stay here with me... - Bae with a faulty, sad voice gently pulls you close to you.

  Charles then enters in his clothes on the shower that so wide wet the two enough, sit on the floor and is comforting the friend who collapses from crying finally, stay there for a few minutes until Bae returns to sound consciousness. Now, with no feeling positive about the life and strength in his body, he gets up with the help of C. the two soaked because they were in clothes, he with deep black eyes due to the immense amount of tears that unfortunately came out of his beautiful eyes, the friend tells him to take off all that wet clothes and offers him a very comfortable and warm robe.

  - When you're done changing, call me.

  Could you help me one more time for today? – asks the friend who is not in the mood to live.

  C. nods that yes and helps him remove all that clothing, Bae was now only wearing his white underwear on his body and by the way wet, looking at Bae reflecting on how he really trusted him, allowing him to see naked. Missing that one-piece, Bae says he could take it off, so he quickly removes it by covering it up in the thick, comfortable layer of the robe, taking him to his bed. Now he realized that he was the one who was drenched, then asks his friend to hope that he would also put on a bathrobe, when Charles returns to the room finds his friend lying upright looking up without even blinking, just reflective and thinking about what will happen on this day.

  - I ruined his night again - getting up slowly and sitting in bed - and not just yours but everyone else's. How can I be so incredibly selfish and ruin everything that's good when I play...

  - But Bae, you didn't do anything today, why are you saying that? - The friend nodded negatively wanting not to get into this subject.

  - I used my taekwondo techniques... I left three boys on the bathroom floor at the party and later they got revenge, and this is my prize – Bae cabisbaixo – offer me drugs, I refused, they wanted to force me, I had to use my strength in them.

  - You finally showed the power of an Oriental – Ria Charles trying to cheer him up who also ended up falling into laughter.

  - Yes, I finally showed my strength, at least it was with whom I really deserved a lesson – I rejoiced Baeyong for laughing with his friend and slowly forming brief smiles on his face – But let's forget about it and focus on the most important thing, my stomach is no longer feeling hungry Charles, I didn't eat anything all night, if I knew that being the Harvard Kid would have to starve to go hungry , would not accept that title.

  - The slack, improves and already wants to rob the refrigerator of the friend - laugh both - I think the only thing ready for us are a few pieces of pizza in the refrigerator, because otherwise has everything and we do not know how to cook, start a war we are the first to die, nor his nails that gnawed so much today took effect.

  Within minutes that he had been there laughing with C., his forces coming back slowly and heading towards the kitchen, Charles puts the food in the oven and turns on the timer, it was a beautiful night, they set off to the outside of the penthouse and begin to observe that night of starry sky, one on the other side facing the great Boston just enjoying the magnificent view. Baeyong gently takes Charles' hand and places it over his heart with his hands on C.'s, holding it for a while until he tells his friend in a sweet, soft voice.

  - Thank you very much... – Bae enjoying the night and holding C.'s hand over his heart – Thank you Charles for not letting my night end the bad way i was walking to be – now looking at the spectacular Moon it continues – Today, gladly I felt the king of the world for a moment, all thanks to you.

  Baeyong turns to C., looks him in the eye and repeats in a sweet voice, "Thank you very much," both were the same size, tall, and Bae leans his forehead against Charles's as a form of thanks and appreciation, closing his eyes and feeling safe beside him. They stand there for a moment, C. opens his eyelids for the light to enter and tape Bae with his eyes closed and leaning against him, feels a current of energy passing from one body to another and begins to have a strange feeling inside himself that he had never had before, he continued there with his eyes closed and holding C.'s hand over his heart. while Charles stared at him trying to understand the feeling that arose within him until the oven timer beeped and Adkins rushed into the kitchen so as not to let the pizzas burn because it was just what they had for the night.

  They sit on the edge of the heated pool with their plates on their lap, eat enjoying the night and company of each other, after finishing Baeyong makes available to wash the dirty dishes and leave again for the kitchen, were only two dishes, and as soon as it ends looks at the clock that marked three o'clock in the morning, Charles who was on the phone checking his social networks waiting for his friend to finish the dishes , gets up and says he has to redeem himself from a last withdrawal, offers a ride on his back to Baeyong who laughing accepts saying that he needed to redeem himself, Bae climbs and there they go with horses to bed, this time C. held him firm and strong because he was sober and happy. Put him on his bed gently, put his blanket over Bae and unrarch his hair.

  - All right, all right, enough care, I'm fine - Baeyong laughing and happy with his friend's care.

  Shut up, do you hear me? Shut up - laugh Charles lying down after arranging his friend like a real big brother - Let me take care of my Baezinho.

  You sleep well, buddy.

  - You too, tomorrow I want to spend all day sleeping, do not torment me Baeyong - smile Charles.

  They both quickly fall asleep after saying goodbye and enter their subconscious...

  Charlotte

  The Champs Elysee was full of people who were already preparing to advance their shopping for Christmas. It was very cold with the arrival of winter, and Charlotte Bonnet accompanied her mother, Adeline Bonnet, in the tireless search for handbags and shoes of various brands such as Dior, Channel, Givenchy among others. The rays of sunshine that appeared that afternoon, brought false illusion of a warmer climate, which attracted more and more people to the famous avenue. However, the same rays played and illuminated Charlotte's brown and wavy hair, who had sat at Fouquet's for coffee and some rest. While her mother was talking about what was missing to buy, the girl only thought about college. In June he had made the baccaulearat (bac), and had achieved an average of 17, Mention Três bien, considered honorable, and entered the Universite Paris Sorbonne, had begun the course of Art and Archaeology.

  Charlotte loved fashion and art, and the Louvre Museum was her favorite place in the city she had lived in since she was born. She was a very studious girl and loved reading great classics of French literature such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Wretched. She was always well dressed by french brands, was tall and had pink skin like flowers in the Parisian spring.

  Pierre Bonnet, Charlotte's father, along with Adeline, owned a large medical technology company, making them very busy, but they always took time to spend time with the girl and her sister Nicolle, who was 10 years old and attended lycee fenelon school. The sisters got along very well and always took care of each other, in the absence of their parents, who traveled a lot. Unlike the 17-year-old, her sister loved sports and played various sports, but her passion was running. Nicolle ran on the banks of the River Seine every day, especially during the warmer seasons.

  Charlotte loved dancing and her favorite style was ballet, classical and contemporary. When he wasn
't reading or shopping with his mother, he was dancing or playing the piano, who started taking classes since he was five years old. He loved the big names in classical music like Bethoven and Chopin, but he also loved playing more recent songs, such as the big hits of Adele and Michael Jackson.

  Daylight already surpasses the cracks in Charlotte's bedroom window and curtain when she woke up to hear noises in the huge hallway on the second floor of the house. He looked at the servant next to his bed and took the beautiful old clock he had won from his grandmother when he turned fifteen, and he marked nine o'clock in the morning, then got up because he was hungry.

  She arrived for coffee and her parents had already left for work, just sitting at the Nicolle table that ate the warm and soft croissants that Lucie, the house's cook, made every morning. Charlotte enjoyed her sister's company and had a good cup of coffee. When, at that moment, Jean, the house's butler arrived with the correspondence:

  "Here's Miss Charlotte, all the mail today. You have a very nice envelope with the lady's name on it.

  "Thank you very much Jean, I will look at what it is. - answered the girl who with her sweet smile that made her dear to all the employees of the house.

  The butler withdrew from the dining room, and Nicolle has already turned to Charlotte who noticed the curiosity in the little girl's gaze:

  "Charlie, just open this envelope, let's see what's in that beautiful piece of paper.

  "I'll open Nicolle, be patient. - replied the girl, who knew that her sister would not be reassured until she opened the envelope. When you opened the envelope, you read the following words:

  Dear Miss Charlotte Bonnet,

  It is with great satisfaction and honor that we communicate to the lady who has been selected to participate in a program held by Harvard University in Massachusetts to study Medical Engineering. Through the program you will be able to become familiar with American English and interact with others selected from other places in the world.

  We look forward to your response and look forward to the presence of a student with a history as amazing as you.

  Best regards

  Dean Joseph Prentiss.

  At the end of reading the letter, Charlotte could not believe it, and was paralyzed when Nicolle said:

  "Charlie, how amazing, you were selected to study me New York. Mom and Dad are going to be so proud of you. - said Nicolle with a look of admiration for his sister.

  "I can't believe it little sister. I hope they don't take long to get here. - answered Charlotte a little apprehensive.

  While still in school, the principal of Lycee Fenelon had told her that she had received a proposal from an American university that was conducting a program, and that she would recommend it because of her brilliant track record, but Charlotte never thought she would be selected, as students from all schools in France would be nominated. She felt extremely flattered, but at the same time afraid, because she would live away from home for a long time and had never spent so much time away from her family.

  Adeline and Pierre arrived home at dinnertime, and Nicolle was soon saying:

  "Guys, Charlie has something to tell you.

  "Let's sit down at the dinner table and she'll tell us. Have you washed your hands, dear? - asked Adeline to Nicolle.

  "Yes, Mama, they're washed. - replied the little girl who was incredibly talkative and skewed.

  Then everyone sat down at the table and Pierre said:

  "Charlie, my daughter, what do you have to tell us?

  "Well, do you remember about that program that Mrs. Louise of Lycee had appointed me to participate in a program and go to study at Columbia University in New York?

  "Of course we remember my good. - the mother answered.

  "In an extremely surprising way I was selected. - answered the girl, showing the letter. The parents read the letter and were left with amazed look.

  "My God, little girl this is amazing. - said his father.

  "Congratulations dear, I'm very proud of you. - answered Adeline.

  "Thank you all, but I don't know if I will.

  "And why would my daughter miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? - said Pierre.

  "Well, it's too far away and I've never been away from you so long.

  "But my love, there you will meet different people and we will talk every day, not to mention that you can come here every vacation. " said Adeline

  "Oh Mom, I don't know have to think.

  "Think fondly, my good. - She added her mother with a beautiful smile on her perfectly drawn lips.

  After having dinner and talking more, Charlotte went to her room and began researching and thinking about the opportunity. After many researches she still felt a hint of doubt that bothered her a lot, when she began to think that she would have to make new friends anyway since she had no more friends, and was alone. Maybe this was the opportunity to try to be a little different from what it was, not to try all the time to be perfect and annoy people. To act differently and take action that i wanted without thinking too much and then be too late.. So it was decided, i would accept the opportunity, which would surely change your life for good.

  The month of September was coming, and Charlotte already had her bags ready when her sister came into the room and said:

  "Now that you won't be here, I'm going to wear your perfumes that are going to stay here, and I'm going to wipe them all out. - said the little girl in laughter.

  "Look I'm going to let you use them all, because I'm a good sister and it's going to be a way for you to remember me. - charlotte replied with tears in her eyes.

  The girls hugged immediately and began to cry, and the crying became more collective when the parents entered the room, joined the hug and broke down in tears:

  "I'm going to miss you so much. - said Charlotte between hiccups.

  "We're going to feel your Charlie, don't forget to call every day saw daughter. - said the father wiping away the tears

  "And I was reassured that I will always send perfumes, dresses, shoes and bags for you to walk impeccable at that university saw my good. - said the mother cleaning the makeup blurry.

  "I love you very much, and so do you. - said looking at the family and Jacques, Lucile and the other employees of the house who were also in tears.

  "We loved you very much Charlie- they all said in a tune that looked like a sweet Christmas coral.

  So the girl got in the car and went to the airport because the family plane was already waiting for her. Charlotte took several books in her purse but ended up sleeping throughout the trip, because she did not sleep properly for days, since she wanted to enjoy all the time with everyone in the house and anxiety did not let her nail her eyes. She arrived at the airport, and when she went to look for the car waiting for her, she saw that a girl with straight hair and blonde as an angel, had dropped a magazine on the floor. He went until she delivered what she had found and said:

  "Excuse me, I think you missed that.

  "Oh, thank you I didn't see that it had dropped.

  "For nothing. - answered Charlotte with her sweet smile.

  "What's your name? - asked the girl

  "I'm Charlotte Bonnet. What about you?

  "I'm Annelise de Wit.

  "I have to go, for the car is waiting for me. It was nice meeting you, Annelise.

  "Until more Charlotte, the pleasure was mine.

  Charlotte got in the car that was already waiting for you. The city of Boston was very beautiful, but at the same time very busy, there were many people in many places, and it took a long time to arrive due to the congestion it had on all the streets. When the car stopped and the driver opened the door to Charlotte, she felt the different air of the city and admired the beautiful architecture of the University, but above all, knew that this was the moment of great change in her life and that it would no longer be the same Charlotte Bonnet as always.

  Starting by winning a contest where beauty and talent are taken into account, by having new frie
nds who made her happy different from old ones, the perfect girl outside giving space to an independent and accurate woman in her actions and choices.

  No noise at Adkins' residence, Baeyong opens his pulled and symmetrical eyes, stretches his body delicately and admirably, looking at the clock that marked half a day.

  - Let's get charles up, it's past time, we've got a whole day to enjoy it.

  - We have no, we will continue enjoying here in bed, warm and comfortable, beautiful that just feeling and seeing.

Decides to dress up letting his long white robe fall on his body to his feet, when the fall of the comfortable cloth is in action, charles arrives in his closet seeing the sculptural body of the friend and his beautiful ass in shape, was still sleepy and did not even bother to see such a rear of Baeyong.
