Stray Hearts // Charlie Gillespie

"Why'd you choose him, instead of me?" I heard over the speaker as I kissed Ethan. I pull away as I went to Austin.

We went away as the song ended. We had finally mastered the trio so doing it correctly made me feel better.

"Congrats you three. Go get everyone else so we can start the group dance." Hunter told us. We were having problems with it.

Only because he choreographed it really hard. It was really fast paced. We have about half it down and Nationals is in four months.

Once we gathered everyone, us girls went over to the side. The boys start it off. We do the beginning over and over again.

Only because he wanted to make sure it was right. As we danced, I saw Charlie walking in. He looked over at me, making me smile.

I continued the dance, letting him not distract me. Once done, Hunter told us we were done for the day.

I started gathering all my stuff as Charlie snuck in. "Hey pretty lady." Charlie flirted. "You're not supposed to be in here."

I look at Hunter to see him looking at his computer. "He's not even paying attention." He shrugged him off.

"What are you even doing here?" I ask looking at him. I put everything into my bag as I stand up.

"I wanted a sneak peak of the show." He smirked over at me. I rolled my eyes as I grabbed his arm.

I quickly walked him out so he wouldn't get noticed. "So, what are you doing here?" I ask looking up to him.

The camping trip last weekend made us even closer. We basically flirt nonstop. I had my left arm wrapped around his muscular arm.

"I wanted to hang out with you." I opened up the lobby door, the breeze hitting my face. The sweat on me was starting to dry.

"Do you see the way I look right now?" I ask as he looks down at me. "I look sweaty and gross." I groan.

"I don't see anything wrong to me." I roll my eyes as I get to my car. I pout a little bit as I let go. "Can I at least shower first?" I ask as he sighs.

"Okay, but I'm following you there." I agree as I get into my car. I hated to look like this in front of Charlie.

But I guess he can wait for me while I shower. He tailgated me the whole time which would cause me to break check him.

As I drove, he drove up next to me. I rolled my window downs as he drove next to me. "Break check me one more time." He joked.

"Stop tailgating me you asshole." I joke argue back. "Did you call me an asshole?" He asked with laughter in his voice.

"What are you going to do about it?" I ask glancing over at him. I could hear his laughter as he floored his gas peddle.

I just rolled my eyes I look at him drive away. "He's such a dick." I laugh to myself. When I got to my townhouse, Charlie was waiting for me.

He was sitting on my steps of my porch. I get out of my car and go to the the steps. "Took you long enough." He smirked over at me.

As I walked past him, I shoved the back of his head. "Ow." He held the back of his head as he stood up.

I unlocked my door as he followed me in. "You care to wait fifteen minutes so I can shower?" I ask sitting my bag down.

"Why, you're gonna smell either way?" Charlie joked sitting on my couch. "Why do I even hang out with you?" I ask as he smiles.

"Cause you think I'm cute." I do think he's cute. But he's not getting it the easy. "I do?" I ask as he looks up at me.

There was a little sadness on them. "I thought you did." He had a small pout. "If I did I wouldn't tell you." I had to be a little tease.

He huffed as he looked defeated. I went to my room where my bathroom is. I took a quick shower.

Once I was done, I put on a pair of black skinny jeans on with a black and white stripped shirt.

I walk into the living room to see Charlie sitting on the couch, upside down. His feet were up in the air while his head dangled.

When he realized I had walked in, he fixed himself on the couch. I sat next to him, and laid my head on his lap.

"You smell good." He complimented. I rose my eyebrow at him. "Is that a lie?" I ask as he smiled a little.

"No, you really do smell good." I blushed as he started playing with my hair. "What do you wanna do?" I looked up at him.

I could smell his cologne, and it smelt really good. "We can either watch a movie or go out?" He asked.

"Can we watch a movie?" He nodded as he looked for something to watch. I moved my head so I can see the tv better.

He put on the third Harry Potter movie as we watched. "Who's your favorite?" I ask as he plays with my hair.

"Sirius, obvious. Who's yours?" He casually asked. I can see him liking Sirius. They remind me of each other.

"Draco." He scoffed at me as I dropped my jaw. "What?" I ask with sass. "It makes since you like Draco. You're both bully's."

I sit up looking at him. I cross my arms over towards him. "I hate you." I glare at him. He leaned over to me and wrapped his arms around me.

He scooted me closer to him, causing me to smile. We got comfortable and were cuddled up in each others arms.

I felt so safe in arms, it was a weird but good feeling. "You can't resist me." He whispered in my ear.

I got goosebumps on my arms as I shivered. It's so crazy how I've known Charlie for a month and he has a huge effect on me.

I just know it's getting stronger.
