"I knew i needed you, but i never showed. Now i wanna stay with you until were grey and old" ~Say you wont let go~James Arthur.
Shes crying, i feel her tears dripping down me, or is it the rain?
Me: "i guess you missed me then?" I ask giving a small smile.
She pulls away replying,
"You have no clue char."
And pulls me in for another 3.5 seconds, yes i counted. God why am i such a nerd.
She picks up her bag and phone as i guide her out of the cab, and she climbs into my car. We drive up main street to my old apartment. She looks astonishing, i look at her whilst i drive and gulp. She looks out her window, staring at my apartment and says:
"I didn't even know you still had the keys to this place"
The car comes to a jolt as i turn off the gas, i face her and tap my nose twice. We get out the car, i hand her the keys to the apartment and lock my car. She lets herself in to look about, but nothings changed.
Me: "i haven't been her for so long. Hope i haven't been robbed!" I take a small giggle, she shrugs and lifts her eyebrows. 'Your playing this smooth, Puth' my mind tells me in a sarcastic tone.
"Do you want a drink?" I ask, letting out a cough.
Claire: "please, what do you have?"
I look around my unwell-looked kitchen, looking in the cupboards i find 3/4 bottles of wine, i look at her and lift my scarred eyebrow. She giggles and nods. We make our way to the living area, its bigger than I remember. I go to turn on the tv, but yet theres no electricity, oh yeah cause ive not lived here for like a year.
Me: "powers out" Duh puth.
Claire: "do you have any candles?"
I nod and walk out to the bathroom, while I'm in there, I look at my reflection and ruffle my hair while letting out a sigh. 'Wow she's actually with me. What if i still like her?'
*Claires p.o.v*
'I wonder what he's doing' i think to myself, seconds later he walks in with literally 100 candles and asks;
Charlie: "enough?"
I laugh and tilt my head, we spend a few minutes lighting them when we lock eyes. I nervously look down and giggle;
Me: "what? Do i really look that bad?"
Charlie shakes his head and gives half a smile,
Charlie: "No, just perfect"
I can feel him still gazing, so i lift my head and gaze back. I can feel him leaning in, am i leaning in too? Before i even realise, we've locked lips and start to kiss. His hand lifts to hold my posture still, i grasp my hands around his muscular neck as we slowly un-lock.
Charlie: "ive missed you, this. Us. Claire, i- i love you"
I let out a smile in relief,
Me: "i love you too char"
he stands and holds his hand out to pull me up, i grasp it back. He pulls me closer, i look down and his finger pulls my face up,
Me: "Dance with me" i walk to my phone and put 'some type of love' on. He lets out a hearty giggle and pulls me in for a kiss again. Is this happening? Or am i dreaming?
