A Graduation Gift

A tense silence had settled in the room as Charlie stood wide-eyed at the scene in front of him. He could hardly believe his eyes.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. After a few moments of stunned and confused silence, he turned around and walked outside before shutting the door behind him.

Amanda's face burned with embarrassment. She turned to Rufus and said, "What do we do now, Rufus? My father saw us..."

Her voice dropped in a seductive tone and she looked at him through half-lidded eyes. Any man in the right mind would find her tantalizing.

However, Rufus's mind was in a place very far from the alluring sight in front of him. His face darkened as he remained silent.

'How was Charlie able to enter the room?' he wondered thoughtfully.

As a matter of fact, what he didn't know was that it was a carefully orchestrated plan by none other than Amanda. She had secretly left the door unlocked, and after finding the right moment, she sent a message to her father asking him to come straight inside using Rufus's phone.

At the moment, Rufus's angry face was putting a damper to Amanda's mood. However, she brightened up when she thought of the success of her plan. Her father had seen her and Rufus. There was no way he would just let things be as they were. A thrill ran through her as she thought of a wedding that would not be far off.

Rufus sat up and wrapped the thin quilt around his body. He stood up and walked to the rest room to get changed without so much as a word.

When he walked out, Amanda had already put her clothes on. She peeked at him coyly, her face still dusted in red.

She turned her eyes to look outside and then looked back to Rufus, giving off an air of hesitation. She asked in a low voice, "Should I ask my father to come in?"
