Eric's POV
Charles wiped my tears with his thumb then kissed my lips. He is my world.
I grabbed his hand and smiled down at him.
"Do you want to go back into the living room?" He whispered gently.
"Yes, let's go." I responded quietly.
We walked back into the living room, hand in hand. As I opened the door, we saw James dancing around on the sofa. I burst out laughing - he looked rediculous.
"SEVEN - NIL. LIVERPOOL BEAT MAN UNITED SEVEN - NIL." He roared with laughter.
Charles rolled his eyes, "calm down James."
"Charles can you put some music on for a bit before we leave?" Lily asked.
Charles nodded then called "Alexa, shuffle my playlist."
The song "Sweet Caroline" began playing and I laughed as James began jumping all over the place.
Where it began, I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Charles rolled his eyes fondly then chuckled.
Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
"Sweet Caroline bum bum bum" Shouted James
"Honestly James are you 5?" Lily asked.
"He definitely is." Chuckled Logan.
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Eleanor chuckled "what a very British song to listen to right after a football match."
"Very true Eleanor." I smiled.
Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely
We filled it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you
"Honestly James." Chuckled Logan
One, touching one
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
"Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no, no" James shouted
"Come on everyone, join in."
"Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good" Everyone shouted, laughing.
"Honestly James are you 5?" Lily asked.
"He definitely is." Chuckled Logan.
"Oh come on, you joined in at the end too." James laughed.
I turned to Charles and grinned. He lent over and kissed my lips. As the next song (blurred line) started playing, I held out my hand. "Dance with me?" I asked.
"Of course," grinned Charles.
He took my hand and we began to dance.
"Come on everyone let's dance!" Shouted Logan.
"Alright." Grinned Lily and James.
"I'm gonna record it instead." Chuckled Eleanor.
I was glad she did as Charles and I had the best time ever. When we had danced ourselves out, I flopped onto the sofa, dragging Charles down with me.
"Ericcc." He squealed.
"What?" I chuckled.
Charles rolled his eyes then kissed me on the lips.
"Sorry to interrupt, but it's getting kind of late, we should probably go." Stated Lily.
Charles stood up, walked over and hugged each of his siblings one by one.
"Thank you for coming." He smiled.
I stood up then shook hands with them all, except Eleanor who gave me a hug.
"Thank you for letting me join your celebrations." I smiled.
"It was our pleasure, goodbye you two, see you soon." Logan called as he opened the door.
My boyfriend's siblings filed out of the apartment and Charles shut the door behind them.
I dragged Charles back into the sofa and we flopped down together. Charles was practically layiton top of me, our noses mere inches away. After wrapping my arms around him, I gently kissed his lips.
"I love you Eric." He sighed.
"I love you too love " I smiled.
Charles rested his head in my shoulder and we both fell asleep.
