Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles' POV: 

My mother had been in Kitsap for several days, yet she still didn't want to come home.Meanwhile, I was at home, sitting on the sofa when I decided to give her a call.

"Mom, why haven't you come back yet?"

"I haven't seen Scarlett yet.I won't come home until I do."

She sounded really disappointed.

"Mom, it won't do you good to be there.Just come home, okay?" I suggested, rubbing my temples in frustration.

Suddenly, my heart was overcame with stress.

"Let me just wait a little longer.Please," she replied.

"Her leg hasn't recovered yet.I don't think she'll go out anytime soon.You won't have a chance to see her," I replied, attempting to persuade her.

"Fine.I'll be home soon."

My mother sounded like she was down in the dumps.But once I heard her agree, I hung up the phone and went to the tennis court.

Lately, I'd been dealing with lots of problems, and I really needed some time to relax.

David and Spencer were already there, waiting for me.I approached them and said, "Spencer, play with me first."

"Sure, buddy."

Spencer went to the opposite side of the court and shouted, "Charles, go easy on me, okay?"

I didn't heed his request.I went to the service area, stretching my limbs.

Then, I threw the ball high into the air, and smashed it downwards in a swift yet decisive manner.

"Charles, take it easy! I haven't even warmed up yet!" Spencer shouted.

Right after he finished the sentence, the next ball was already hurtling towards him at a fierce momentum.

Spencer barely rallied it back, and I easily returned the ball.

Within just three rounds, he admitted defeat.

"That's it! I'm done.I need a break.David, I'm tagging out.You play with him instead!"

We both turned our attention to David, only to find a girl in a short skirt standing beside him and waving at us.

"Spencer!" the girl shouted.

"Nicole? What are you doing here?"

Spencer strode out of the court and headed to the rest area.I followed him out.

"I'm playing tennis with my friends over there.I noticed you were here, too, so I came to say hello."

"Oh, I see.Well, go back to your game then," Spencer replied impatiently.

Obviously, he wanted Nicole to get out of here at once.
