Charlotte is a young blonde girl who loves to read novels while listening to some musics or just enjoying a cup of tea in the afternoon while watching the sunset view in her backyard.

She lives in California, her house is near the beach, so that is why she loves the sunset view in the afternoon. The morning breeze is indeed refreshing, but the wind at the sunset is something totally different from the morning wind. The smell of wind mixed with the smell of the ocean, its truly a mesmerizing smell that Charlotte’s love.

One day when Charlotte’s walking down the beach in the early morning to relieve her burdened feelings, she met a goergeous guy who took a picture of the scenary. She knew that the guy is not someone arround there. 

Charlotte’s try to ignore him, but the she had a feeling that  someone took a picture of her quietly. So she turned her head around and caught the guy that she saw before, pointed his camera into her direction.

She immidiently covered her face behind her hoodie. That guy realize his mistake and took away his camera and try to apolegize to her. So he took a few steps forward to Charlotte and saying hi to her to show his politeness.

Charlotte’s blushed, not because she’s angry, but because she never thought that the guy in front of her were actually really really handsome. So Charlotte’s turned her face to the opposite direction from that handsome guy.

That guy feel akward and guilty at the same time so he waved his hand in front of charlotte and then calling her out.

He said, “hey, miss. I’m really sorry for taking pictures of yours without any premission from you. But I swear that I want to tell you right after I finish taking pictures. I might sounds rude, so, please forgive me, miss.”

After heard his words, Charlotte’s feel akward. She actually avoiding his gaze just because he’s too hansome. She really didn’t mind if someone took a picture of her as long as that person take premission from her before or after taking her picture.

‘he doesn’t seems like a bad guy’ said Charlotte inside her mind. So she tried to look that guy in the eye and smile shyly. “I didn’t mind. Go ahead take as many picture as you want.”

That guy smiles and then show his camera display to Charlotte. “I’m finished taking the pictures, do you want to see the result?” 

Charlotte’s smile widely. “of course! May I?”

That guy give another cute smile and hand his camera to her. “Sure. Go ahead.”

Charlette took the camera from hin and then saw the pictures that he took before. ‘this guy have some skills. Is he a professional photograph or something? His pictures were really good. Amazing.’

“Wow you pictures were actually pretty good? Are you a photographer or something?” Ask Charlotte to that guy with her smile wide open. She really likes the pictures that he took.

That guy blushed for a little bit and took his camera when Charotte give it back to him. “well, actually I’m not a photographer. It’s just one of my hobby.”

Charlotte also blusehed. ‘this guy is so cute!’. She couln’t belive that this guy were not a photographer but just taking pictures as his hobby. “You got some skill there, sir.”

That guy suprised. “Thanks. By the way, my name is Ethan Spencer. Plase call me Ethan. No need to use formality to me. I’m not that old though, so no need to call me Sir bucause it sounds weird to me. And how about you, young lady? What’s your name?” Said Ethan in friendly tone.

Charlotte smiles, “Y-yes, sir- I mean... Yes, Ethan. Um… my name is Charlotte Anderson, you can call me Charlotte.” Said Charlotte nerveously.

Ethan giggled. “Okay, Charlotte.”

Charlotte blushed even more. She never thougt that she can see Ethan giggled hansomely like that. Oh dear lord, her heart beating so fast right now.

“So, Charlotte, can you take me for a walk arround here? Because I’ve never been here before and it’s also nice to have someone to walk with while enjoying this beautifull scenery.” said Ethan while looking to the seashore in front of them.

Charlotte nodded her head. “Sure. Lets take a walk for a moment.”

They walked slowly without saying a word. Just silence between them accompenied by the sound of the wind blowing through the trees or leaves and the soothing sound of the ocean waves.

But suddenly, Ethan stop walking. Charlotte looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m hungry.” Said Ethan while patted his belly.

‘Oh my god, he’s so cute.’

Charlotte’s laugh and then brought Ethan to the nearest Cafe. They spend a moment together talked about what they interest to and few random talk. They keep exchanging questions and answers untill the sun rised up high.

Even when it’s still ‘morning’, Charlotte keep bragged about how beautifull the beach sceneries at the afternoon especially the sunset and it make Ethan interested to see the beach view in the afternoon. But the thing that more interesting to him was actually how excited Charlotte is when she talked about the afternoon sceneries. He can see the excitement and some sparkle in Charlotte’s eyes when she talked about the sunset view.

Ethan smiles and then ask Charlotte to show him the afternoon sceneries to him. 

“Hey, Charlotte.” said Ethan nicely.

Charlotte looked at Ethan confusedly. “What?” She said in cute tones whithout she even realize.

“Now I’m really curious about the afeternoon scenery that you’ve told me before. Is it really that good? and can you accompany me to see the sunset view this afternoon? If you have free time ofcourse. But if you don’t-”

Charlotte cut Ethan’s word hesitantly. “OFCOURSE I WILL!” Charlotte’s eyes sparkled again. She nodded her head excitedly.

Ethan looked at her and then giggle. 

Ethan’s phone ringed. He looked at his phone but then he ignore it. Charlotte looked at him in confused but Ethan said that it’s just a call from his annoying friend so he ignore it.

Charlotte just nodded her head and didn’t want to care about that ignored phone call because it might sound impolite if she ask about why he’s ignoring his friend just because he’s anoyyed. 

But then a notifications showed up from his phone. Ethan looked at his phone for a moment and then making some ‘click’ sound with his mouth. He looks annoyed and relplied to the message.

Charlotte’s mind is running wild right now. In her eyes, Ethan looks like an angel who got lost on earth. ‘Oh my dear lord, he’s so hot. I can’t-’ 

Ethan still looking at his phone but a few moments later he looked at Charlotte with his sad face. “I’m sorry, Charlotte, I really need to go right now. My friend needs me so I need to go now.”

Charlotte nodded her head and then smiled at him. “It’s okay, Ethan. I understand. So, are you free this afternoon? Or you need to do something else?”

“I’m afraid that I didn’t have my free time this afternoon. But I promised I will see the sunset tomorrow with you. How does it sound?”

Charlotte smiled softly. “It’s okay. I understand.”

Ethan blushed. “Then, can I have your phone number?”

“Yeah, sure. Give me your phone so I can type it.” Said Charlotte politely, trying to not looking super excited while She’s already screaming histericly in the inside.

Ethan handed his phone to Charlotte. “Great! Here you go.” 

After typed her phone number, Charlotte handed back Ethan’s phone and said, “here’s my phone number, and here’s my social media, I’ll follow you back when I went back home since my phone left there. Call me when you want to watch the sunset together tomorrow. Just call me and tell me where you are and I will find you right after. Okay?”

Ethan smiles widely while watching how excited CCharlotte is right now, “good, I’ll call you whenever I’m ready. Okay, I need to go now. My friend said that he’s waiting for me at the nearby hotel. See you later, Charlotte.” Said Ethan. He raised his hand towards Charlotte for a few seconds and then leaving the cafe in a sexiest way that Charlotte’s ever imagined.

Charlotte rose up from her seat and waved her hand for a moment. “Yeah, see you later too, Ethan!”

Charlotte then whispered to herself while sitting in the most gracefull manner. “hope that we can meet again, either it’s tomorrow or even someday in the future.”
