    "This is-" Amara smiled at Charlie as he pulled her chair out

"thank you" she sat down watching him sit down

"I want to learn more about you" he said waving the waiter down

"Your finest wine please" Charlie kept his eyes on Amara as he spoke

"and for the lady?" the waiter said smiling at Amara

she broke eye contact with Charlie frowning at the waiter

"uh just the wine please" she smiled

Charlie squeezed the table clearing his throat making the waiter rush away

"like I was saying tell me about yourself" he said running his hands through his hair

"as long as you tell me about yourself as well" she smiled at him

"of course" he said as the waiter came back putting the bottle down in the middle of them

The night was going well they shared laughs and Amara couldn't help but to blush at Charlie compliments

Charlie found that Amara couldn't like just one color she loved them all and she preferred Orange juice over apple juice any day

She love the crust of the pizza and she hates when someone touches her hair without asking

Amara found out that Charlie loves the color black he's been a businessman for over 8 years and he's now 28 working for his dad company

He hated romantic movies and hates popcorn he liked the chocolate cover raisins though

when he told Amara that she couldn't help but to crack up as they shared their differences and similarities

The waiter came back out "here's your tab" he walked over to Amara and handed her the bill purposely touching her hand as he handed it over

"oh thank you" she smiled at him innocently

Charlie looked at the waiter with low eyes "that would be all leave us"

They both looked at Charlie but he continued to look at the waiter

"o-o-oh okay" the young waiter said rushing away once again

"you okay?" she asked him opening the bill

"I got it let me pay for it" he reached over to grab the bill

she handed it over "no we will go half and half" she smiled at him

He sighed shaking his head "I got it Amara please"

she looked at him nodding biting her bottom lip nervously

"Here" she handed a 100 dollar bill to Charlie as he paid for the food

"no keep your money" he got up putting the bill down paying for the 300 dollar bill

"it was honestly nothing" he truthfully spoke

"alright" putting the money back in her clutch she smiled at him getting up

"wait!" the waiter called out making Charlie roll his eyes

"you're testing my patience kid" He mumbled

Amara shook her head frowning at the waiter "what's wrong?"

"you forgot this" he handed her a piece of paper

"That's not-"

"just take it" he shoved the paper in her hands

Charlie blacked out

•••

"Let's just- Lets think about this Charlie stop!" she begged

Charlie punched the waiter in his face over and over again

"Charlie please!" Amara begged

They were in the back of the restaurant outside Amara tried to calm Charlie down but he lost it after he saw that the waiter gave Amara his number and dragged him outside

Charlie choked the waiter as the waiter nose leaked blood most definitely broken and he had two black eyes

"Charlie" she pulled his arm trying to get him off of the waiter

Charlie pushed Amara off of him causing her to fall to the ground she winced standing up

"SERIOUSLY STOP!" she screamed at him

Charlie instantly stopped and looked at his bloody hands looking down at the guy under him unconscious

Charlie got up from off of the guy and walked towards Amara

"wh-what are you doing?" she stepped back

he quickly grabbed her face with his bloody hands smiling at her

"I did it for you" he smiled kissing her

she pushes him back "like hell you did" she grabbed her phone calling the ambulance for the guy

Charlie snatched her phone away from her

"Charlie !" she reached for it but he held it away from her

he hung up the phone "if he dies he dies" he shrugged pulling Amara towards him

rubbing the blood on her face as she looked at him with glossy eyes

"please let me go" she mumbled as he kissed her forehead

shoving him back she made a run for it

running as fast as she could trying her best to run away from Charlie

Once she felt like she got a good distance she looked back and noticed nobody was behind her

she stopped and tried to control her breathing

looking down and putting her hands on her knees she kept breathing

standing up she jumped back seeing Charlie walk towards her

"that wasn't so nice now was it?" he smiled at her

She was about to make a run for it again but he hit her in the back of the head with something hard causing her to pass out

•••
    Amara groaned sitting up quickly hoping that it was all a nightmare

she looked around and saw that she was in a black bedroom laying on a comfortable bed she looked towards the door and panicked once it started to open

"you're up" Charlie smiled at her

she looked to her right seeing that it was photos of her at her job in her house at Starbucks

"what is this?" she pointed to the photos of herself

Charlie didn't answer he just walked in and closed the door behind him

"WHAT IS THIS CHAR-"

she got cut off by a slap to the face he grabbed her face roughly

"you're in my house respect me" he pushed her head back

she started crying "Who are you?"

"why ask such a dumb ass question"

she shook her head and tried to get up "this is some bullshit" she tried to push pass him but he wouldn't move

she shoved him with all her strength he grabbed her by her throat pinning her on the bed

"lets try this again" he whispered in her ear choking her tighter she squeezed his wrist trying to break away from him

"what did I say before?" he asked looking at her still choking her

she started to feel lightheaded kicking her legs she slowly stopped kicking seeing black dots

he let her go making her gasp for air she held her throat breathing heavily

"I'm Charlie" he said sitting up holding his hand out smiling down at Amara
