Falling In Love With Charlie Lenehan ~ Bars and Melody

Chapter 12

I'd fallen asleep on Charlie's bed the night before, because after confronting him I'd spent the whole day there.

I woke up and Charlie wasn't on the bed with me, but I just brushed it off as he was in the bathroom or something. I got up and went downstairs to go get something to eat.

I decided to make strawberry waffles. I was trying to get the flour to make the waffles when Charlie came up behind me and scared the crap out of me causing me to knock the flour down.

It.

Went.

Everywhere.

It was all in my hair and all over Charlie. I busted out laughing. I was on the floor laughing my butt off when Charlie poured ice cold water all over me. I immediately stopped laughing. I glared hardcore at Charlie. He quickly realized what he did wrong.

"She's angry." Charlie said with a goofy accent. Then ran like a mad man. I sprinted after him. Then I decided that since it was in his hair as well he was gonna have the same fate I did. Except he would have hot water, and lots more flour. I snuck back into the kitchen and got an entire bowl full of flour, and a nice tall glass of streaming hot water. It wasn't hot enough to hurt him, just enough to make him pay. I mixed them together then went upstairs to his room where I knew he was hiding. I walked in quietly and calmly. I slowly walked over to where Charlie had backed himself into a corner and let him have it.

"Aww come on man, you know how hard it is to get this out-"

"Yes Charlie I do." I said putting my hands on my hips.

"Oh... now I see. Well let's go ahead and take showers and get this stuff out of our hair, then go clean up the disaster we made."

"Oh please, you know very well that if we take showers, then go clean up we'll just end up playing in it. And we'll, yet again, have to take showers."

"Yeah, that's true. Well come on lets go get it done." Charlie said getting up.

It took ages but we eventually got it all cleaned up.

"Oh crap!" I said face palming.

"What?"

"I don't have any clothes is what."

"Oh, well I have some clothes you can borrow."

"Charlie, I kind of need underwear."

"I'll just give you a pair of my boxers."

"Ok, fine, I don't need a new bra, so I'll be good."

"Alright, hold on," Charlie went his dresser and pulled out some clothes and handed them to me,"ladies first."

"Alright see you soon." I went to the bathroom and began getting ready for my shower. I had the water at the perfect temperature and was beginning to get undressed when I realized I'd forgotten to get a towel. I opened the door just a bit and popped my head out.

"Heyyy Chaaarrliiie." I yelled

"Yeah babe."

"I kinda forgot to grab a towel."

"Oh ok, hold on." After about thirty seconds Charlie walks into the bathroom without thinking, with the towel in hand.

"CHARLIE! KNOCK FIRST KNUCKLE HEAD!" I tell yanking the towel out of his hand and wrapping it around me. Luckily I still had my bra and underwear on. Charlie just stood there staring at me like a doof.

"Oh, uh, sorry."

"Its fine now go. I gotta take a shower." I said pushing Charlie out.

"Aw come on babe, can't we just take a shower together it would take half the time."

"Excuse me sir." I said giving Charlie The Look.

"Im kidding, I'm kidding, see you in a bit babe." Charlie pecked my on the lips then went to his room.

I quickly took a shower and began getting dressed.

"Alright Charlie, you can go take shower now." I said walking into Charlie's room.

"Alright I'll be quick." Charlie left and I sat on his bed and started playing Dragon City when his phone went off. I looked at his phone and saw he'd gotten a text.

From: Charlotte,
Hey Charlie, what's up, can't wait to see you tonight.

I couldn't think straight, it couldn't be what I thought it was. He wasn't cheating on me, he wouldn't do that. You know what ill just ask him when he gets done.

Charlie walked in the room shortly after drying his hair off.

"Hey Charlie, you gotta text."

"Oh ok."

"Its from a Charlotte."

"Ok, what did she say."

" 'Hey Charlie, what's up, can't wait to see you tonight.' What's that about?"

"Oh crap you took that the wrong way. Brietta, me and her are planning something for this weekend."

"Oh, and what might that be?"

"Um, can't say."

"And why might that be?"

"Cuz?"

"I just can't." Charlie said scratching his head.

"Oh I see how it is. You know what im just gonna go home then." I walked out the door and down the street to my house. I could here Charlie running after me so I sprinted. I sprinted as fast as I could to my house and got there just seconds before Charlie did. I was struggling with the key when Charlie finally caught up with me. I couldn't see where the key was supposed to go my eyes were so blurry with tears. I didn't know why I was doing this I trusted Charlie, should trust Charlie, but something inside me just snapped when I saw that text. Charlie came right up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

"No let me go Charlie, just let me go!" I screamed hitting Charlie. I was struggling to get away from him when I just gave up and collapsed. Charlie caught me and sat me in his lap.

"Brietta do you really want to know what me and Charlotte are doing?"

"Yes Charlie I do, I feel like, like-"

"You feel like I'm cheating on you, I know that but I swear it, you took that text completely wrong."

"Oh really, then what did it really mean."

"Do you remember what this Saturday is?"

"No, why?"

"Its our one year anniversary silly. You know it's really sad when the guy remembers it but the girl doesn't, I thought it was supposed to be the other way around."

"Ok whatever, what does that have to do with anything?"

"Don't you see that's it, Charlotte was helping me plan something for our anniversary."

"Of course I would take something that harmless so wrong." I laughed.

... she took that completely wrong
