Finally Free - Charlie Gillespie

Chapter Twelve

Kenedi
Everyone screams excitedly. Charlie picks me up spinning me around.

"You got renewed!" I scream hugging him. He laughs setting me down then looks at me nervously.

"So...does that mean you'll come to Canada with me?" I bite my lip nervously. I don't like the idea of dropping everything for a guy, but this is Charlie we're talking about.

Even if things don't work out with him, he won't just leave me homeless unlike my mom. And that's another thing. I need to get away from my mom. I love her, but she ruins my mental health.

The more I think about it, the better moving in with Charlie sounds. I look into his eyes smiling. I can tell he's nervous.

"We might have to just tour Canada instead of the US until you're done filming." He grabs my face excitedly.

"Is that a yes?" I hold his hands laughing and nod. He kisses me then runs over to Owen jumping on top of him.

I gently touch my lips still in shock that we kissed. I giggle to myself then clear my throat seeing Kenny walk up to me.

"I see you and Charlie have gotten close." He winks at me making me laugh nervously.

"Yeah we have. He's a great guy."

"He really is. And based off what he's told me, you're an amazing person." I smile lightly thinking about what he says about me.

"He talks about me?"

"Oh you're all he talks about!"

"Yeah? What does he say?" I sip on my champagne nervously.

"Oh all the obvious things. You're just as beautiful as he said you are." I laugh shaking my head.

"Thank you."

"And he's also said you're interested in pursuing acting as a career." I swallow hard.

"H-he did?" He nods making me sigh shakily.

"And if you're interested, I think I have the perfect role for you."

"Wait what?"

"Charlie told me about your play from tenth grade. The one you wrote then performed for the whole school? I contacted your old theatre teacher and she sent me a recording of it. It was amazing, Kenedi."

"Oh. Thank you." I smile lightly.

"You truly have a gift and I'd be stupid not to pursue that! So if you really are interested, here's my number." He hands me his business card. "My personal number is on the back. Please enjoy the rest of your night and Charlie." He winks at me.

"Oh I will. And I'll definitely call you."

"I sure hope so. We gotta get rolling with season two as soon as possible."

"Wait that's what you want me to be in?" He winks at me and walks off. Holy shit.

I walk up to Charlie and hit him.

"Ow! What was that for?!"

"For talking to Kenny about me!"

"He told you?"

"Yes among some other things, but guess what."

"What?"

"We are moving to Canada to film together."

"What? You're in season two?!"

"I think so! He told me to call him, but to enjoy the rest of my night."
