Complicated love 🥀 // SM

Chapter 128 The date

Anna's POV
As I get into Charlies car a sense of nerves rushes over me, he starts the engine and as I hear it roar I say, "Nice Car"

He laughs as he says, "thanks it a rental"

"Oh that's cool, where are you based in?"

"Oh, I'm from LA"

"No way," I say as I turn to face him, causing my seatbelt to choke me a bit.

He looks back at me and the road nervously "What is it?"

"I lived in LA for three years! And before that I lived right next to it"

"Wow" He says as he runs his hands through his hair only to have it shag back onto his face.

"It's crazy we never ran into each other once though"

"Yeah, but instead I met you in Toronto, the world has a weird way of connecting people" I see his blue eyes sparkle with compassion as he says that.

"It sure does..."

As we pull up to the mystery places Charlie was surprising me with, I saw a huge mansion type house, He parks the car as he runs over to my side over the car to open the door. I shoot him a smile as we walk in.

"Charlie, what is this place?" I ask him in awe.

Immediately when you walk through the big doors you are greeted by an amazing wooden staircase, leading two different ways. And the most beautiful vintage wallpaper ever, decorated with little peacocks and flamingos.

"This is like my favorite restaurant, I know it may look intimidating, but trust me you'll love it" He says taking my hand guiding me to a table.

As I sit down my head is spinning back and fourth trying to take in every piece of beauty in this magnificent place. I look around to see there is no one else around us.

"Where is everyone else?" I ask

"Oh...I kinda rented the place out so it would be just me and you."

I look at him in awe "You really didn't have to do that, it was such a sweet gesture though" I take his hand in mind and give it a squeeze.

throughout the entire dinner we don't let go of each other's hand, we just use our other hands to eat. Me being left handed it ended up working out well. 

We talked and chatted about the most random things, we talked about his family. Apparently his mother was very formal type and in the beginning did not want him to become a singer, but instead a doctor. But once she saw his first paycheck she changed her mind. I also talked about cassie, and showed him endless photos of her doing the most random east things, I apologized many  times, but he said he was happy to see me this happy.

As we were driving back the trip was silent, there was a sad part in me that wished we didn't have to part, but I knew that somehow we would meet again.

Once he parked his car on the street so he could walk in with me, holding my hand throughout the entire time.

As we reach the doors to the apartment I turn to him.

"I had an amazing time tonight Charlie"

"Me too Anna"

"I wouldn't mind being up for a second date" I say poking him.

"Oh so this was a date" He says with a raised eyebrow.

I frown as I say, "Um"

He grabs my hand as he says, "It wouldn't be our first official date without a kiss" and with that he kissed me on the lips. As we part I touch my lips feeling all giddy, but I try to hide it from him.

"so I will see you later?" I ask. 

"Yup" He says winking at me as he walks back to his car.

I have never quite felt this way, but as much as I am trying not to compare Shawn and Charlie, Shawns lips on mine was magical. But the one thing about magic is there's always a consequence.
