CHARLIE

My mom has been stressing about this dinner for a few weeks now, she always does things last minute. It's actually what woke me up this morning. I heard her screaming because she dropped a wine bottle and shattered it everywhere.

I also found out just yesterday that I was expected to be there tonight. How great.

Sneaking past the ruckus in the kitchen I step out onto the porch and sit on my swing. Now that my parents are back I can't see Harry as much as I used too. It kills me not to see him, but we still talk on the phone as much as we can.

I take my phone out and give him a call. It rings once before he picks up, his voice was all raspy and cute. I can just see him now.

"Good morning beautiful." Harry says huskily. I giggle and feel myself blush, he always does that. I think to myself for a second, trying to figure out what to say next.

"I miss you, Charlie." Those three words shock me and I smile the biggest. "I miss you too."

"I think you should come over tonight, another date like last time?" I lick my lips at the thought but remember my moms dinner.

"That sounds very, very tempting, but my mom needs me home tonight, I get to hang out with all of her business friends." I try to sound enthused.

He groans loudly, "You're killing me love."

"I could always sneak out my window to see you." I joke. "I'll be waiting Charlie." I can hear him smile.

The line gets quiet for a minute and hear noises on his line, a doorbell and someone yelling his name. "Harry?" I ask. "Oh my god." He says. "What? Who is it?" "I think my parents are home, Charlie. I have to go, call me later."

The line clicks to an end and I'm left with questions.

I walk back inside and begin getting ready for tonight.

HARRY

I peak the front door from the bottom of the stairs and see my parents coming in with their luggage. They've been gone for months now and now they're just back home? I don't understand.

I see my beautiful mum as she calls for my name. I've missed her so much.

I finally walk down to them and flash a big smile.

"Mum." I embrace her and kiss her head, I shake my dads hand and he pulls me into a hug.

"You've gotten muscle, look at him Anne." I laugh taking my mums bags.

"He's also gotten some more tattoos I see." She says grabbing my arm. I smile kissing her head again. "Cmon, lets bring the luggage to your room."

Once both my parents started staying at our old home I took their room. I guess I can stay in the guest room until they're gone. No telling how long they will be staying.

Getting them settled takes up half of the day. I give them some peace and head downstairs to call Charlie back. Before I can my mum sits down next to me.

"So honey, me and your father need you tonight." She grabs my hand and flashes a caring smile before continuing. "The business were associated with is having a fancy get together, and we were all invited. So go put on something nice and be down here in 30 minutes." She kisses my head and rushes upstairs. How unexpected.

Tonight will be something else. Following my mums orders I change into one of my suits.

I decide to take my own car and follow my parents to wherever this get together is. I'll leave early if I can't take it anymore.

As I'm thinking the car I'm following takes a turn on a familiar road. We drive a little more and we pull into a very familiar driveway. I can't believe it when I see it.

My parents step out and I do to, we walk to the front door of the house I've been to many times. I think I'm nervous. My dad knocks on the door, soon after muffled yells and steps come towards the door.

The door swings open and I'm eye to eye with a gorgeous woman, Charlie, the woman I'm in love with. She was wearing a fitted green dress, amplifying her curves, with her hair curled and tied back into a pony tail. She looks absolutely stunning.

Walking inside, Charlie's eyes are wide staring at me I can't help but grin at her. We are greeted by Mrs. Taylor, shaking my parents' hands. She gives me an annoyed look while shaking mine too.

As soon as we arrive the dinner begins, everyone was sat at a table. I smile because my parents and I are sat directly in front of Charlie.

I'll catch her glance at me and smile, she looks so beautiful.

CHARLIE

The way he is looking at me makes me feel like the prettiest girl alive. I had no idea he was coming to my moms party tonight. I'm really, really glad he is here.

Harry looks amazing tonight. He's wearing a black velvet suit that makes my stomach feel a certain way. I need to get him somewhere private.

My mom stands to thank everyone for coming followed by a whole bunch of business bull. I glance across the table every once in a while to admire Harry some more.

"Let's eat!" She finishes taking a seat.

The dinner is filled with awkward stares and side conversations. Nows my chance that everyone is distracted. "May I be excused mother?" I stand from my seat, straightening my dress.

"Of course honey." Walking towards the stairs I make hard eye contact with Harry. Hopefully he knows what I'm tying to do.

Closing my bedroom door I sit on my bed and wait and see.

When I look at him my entire body freezes and admires him. I've been thinking about this for awhile now, the way he makes me feel, all the times he's made me smile and called me beautiful, the way he looks at me like I'm the prettiest and only girl in the world. It's absolute magic when he's around. The feelings I have for him now are so strong.

My thoughts are interrupted by a knock. "Charlie?" I hear a deep voice whisper.

"Come in." Harry tiptoes in and shuts the door, I smile when he walks over to me.

"Finally alone." He smirks and laughs wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I had no idea you were coming tonight. I'm kind of happy." I say putting my arms around his neck. Right on point music starts to play from downstairs. How perfect.

He smiles at me as we sway in the middle of my bedroom.

"I can't believe you're in my room right now." I giggle looking into his eyes. I'm the luckiest girl.

Hopefully he doesn't get caught up here, that would be just perfect. We both stop talking. Our bodies close, swaying to the faint slow music. Our eyes locked. It's getting so hard to breath.

HARRY

Im going to do it. If this isn't a sign I don't know what would be. Now is the time. Now or never.

"Charlie?" I interrupt our silence. Her gorgeous twinkling eyes stay on mine. "You look...s-so stunning tonight love."

She blushes looking away, I've noticed she does that.

"You're the sweetest Harry. Thank you." She pecks my cheek. My grip on her back tighter now. I'm fighting the strongest urge to feel her lips on mine.

"Charlie?" I push hair behind her ear. "Yes Harry?"

"I have something very important to say." Her smile fades into concern.

Don't screw this up... "You make me happy and excited and I need that everyday I'm breathing. I'm so attracted to the thought of you. You worry and care for me." I sit us down on her bed for the rest of my words. "We haven't known each other long but, I wish every night I would've known you sooner. I don't know your feelings towards us, but I know mine."

Her watering eyes twinkle at me as she smiles. "Charlie Taylor, I want more than this, I want more of you."

After I pour my heart out, she's speechless. On the verge of crying actual tears from what I said, hopefully they're happy tears.She grabs my hand, wiping a tear from her face. Smiling the biggest I've ever seen grabbing my other hand.

Still smiling she shakes her head, "Where the hell did you come from?"

She kisses my desperate lips when she finishes speaking. This is the happiest I've been in years. If I'd look up there would be actual fireworks.

I'm numb when I know she feels the same way. I did it. Charlie is more than the girl I kiss occasionally, she's my girlfriend.

We kiss one last time before she pulls away, we both catch our breath. "It's so hard to do that." I smirk at her, my hands feeling her hips.

"Do what?" She says grabbing each side of my coat wetting her lips some more. "Having to stop." She bites her lip almost to the point it could burst.

She tucks hair behind her ear, and there's a minute of silence. Looking back up to me with her twinkling dark eyes, my heart beats harder in my chest.

Her hands find my neck and her lips slowly inch to mine. "We don't have to stop."
