Good Boy

Chapter 31

Charlie's POV

8:30 am.

It is literally 8:30 am.

I have to be at work in half an hour.

And I have gotten absolutely no sleep.

I roll out of my bed and stretch before getting ready. What am I suppose to wear? Niall was wearing a white t shirt with khakis but I don't own any khakis and there is a stain on my white t shirt.

Maybe leggings will work? Just for today until I ask what the proper uniform actually is. It should be okay since it's my first day anyways.

As for the white t shirt, I can probably use a tide stick or something.

I go into my suitcase in search for my tide stick since I never unpacked my bags completely and I find my white t shirt but there is no stain on it. Maybe I washed it before I left.

I change into the shirt and it is a bit more loose fitted than it was last time I had it on.

Shoes. What shoes do I wear? Niall was wearing black shoes I think. Most stores have employees with black shoes. I'll just wear my all black converse.

Once I'm ready, I throw my hair in a ponytail, say bye to my dad, and start my walk to work.

Lowkey wishing to run into one of the boys so I have someone to talk to.

"Charlotte!" Niall waves.

"Neil!" I laugh at the horrible nickname as Niall cringes.

"Okay okay," Niall laughs "you win this one. Actually, I win because you gotta work my shift."

Niall sticks his tongue out at me and I roll my eyes and laugh.

"If I work your shift, then why are you here?" I ask.

"I'm guiding you since it's your first day," Niall explains.

"I'm a cashier. I don't need help." I tell him as I take his spot at the cash register.

"That's what I thought," Niall agrees "but it's the rules. I'll just sit here and pretend I'm helping since you obviously got this."

I giggle at Niall making himself comfortable in a nearby chair before I turn to begin to cash out my first customer. This isn't as exciting as I expected it to be.

"Isn't the manager going to meet me or something?" I ask Niall and he shrugs.

"I'm about 100% sure you'll meet her soon. Trust me," Niall tells me and I give him a confused look before shaking my head and placing items in a bag.

"Neil, guess who's picking you up!" I hear that british accent that I just can't seem to get rid of. The same voice that makes my heart drop each time.

I turn around and I see Louis staring at me from the main entrance. I can't get rid of that beautiful british douchebag. I turn back around just as we make eye contact to avoid the awkwardness.

"Stop calling me that," Niall whines "and I can drive back in my car. I have to stay here with Charlie anyways."

Finally, he says my name correctly.

"Why do you work at a place so far away from the house anyways?" I hear Louis ask.

"Your job is far from here, too," Niall retorts.

"If we're going by technicallity then yes it is."

What is Louis' job anyways? I want to ask but I think it's best if I act like Louis isn't here for now.

"Hi Charlie," Louis says to which I am caught off gaurd. He's been in here for like five minutes now and then decides to say hi to me? And he never actually said hi to me. And he is here without a reason since Niall already has a ride home.

"Hi Louis," I say without turning around as I collect change for a customer, ignoring all of the questions I have for him.

"You do know that you're not in proper uniform, right?" Louis states the obvious.

"I'm aware," I say.

"I like your shirt. I remember when I got it."

"You didn't buy me this shirt," I turn back to face him and give him an odd look.

"Correct. I didn't buy it for you. I brought it for me. It's my shirt. I can see the small beer stain in the corner of it and I recall you saying you don't drink. Plus, it's a little loose fitted on you," Louis smirks.

I look down at the corner of the shirt and there is actually a beer stain. Shit. This is Louis' shirt that I grabbed from New York. I meant to return it but I forgot I had it.

I feel my cheeks turn red as I begin to try and find words to explain why I have his shirt while Niall looks back and forth between me and Louis.

"You look like a tomato," Louis laughs "but you can keep it, I like it on you."

Wasn't the best chapter but wasn't the worst¿? Small awkwardness between Louis and Charlie haha. Poor Niall has to deal with it lol. Love you guys x
