A few hours after Nick had left for work, Charlie rolls onto his back and lifts his arms up in a stretch then rubs his eyes. He shifts himself to sit up and sees Daisy has made herself comfortable at the end of the bed. He grabs his phone to check the time and for any outstanding notifications and he sees one that Nick had sent once he had got to work. He smiles and replies to him quickly before getting up so he could take Daisy for her walk.
Once Charlie gets out of bed, he shivers and sighs wishing he could get back into the warm bed but he knows he needs to do chores before he can spend the afternoon with Nick when he gets home from work. He had heads to the bathroom and takes a long hot shower which he is glad for after the long hard week of studying for his exams before the Christmas break.
After his shower, he stands in front of the mirror to try and tame his curls but in the end he gives up as he knows Nick loves his curls even when they're unruly. He brushes his teeth then heads back into the bedroom and gets dressed in his black skinny ripped jeans, a blue top and his flannel shirt. He walks into the kitchen to get his breakfast and sees the note that Nick had wrote for him on the fridge and smiles.
He quickly has his breakfast and then goes towards the front door and puts on his converse and jacket then grabs Daisy's walking lead. He whistles "Daisy, walky times!". Daisy comes galloping through the flat and sits in front of Charlie wagging her tail. He puts on her lead and opens the front door to let Daisy walk out in front of him. He closes and locks the front door and decides to take Daisy to the park for a run around as he knows he has a few hours until Nick gets out of work.
After a very long walk around the park, Charlie heads back to the flat with Daisy. He unlocks the front door and opens it, takes Daisy off the lead and she runs straight to her little bed in the living room and settles down. Charlie giggles at her antics. He takes his shoes off and heads into the living room and decides to do a bit of revising before Nick gets home as they're planning on going over to Tao and Elle's later for a movie night with Tara, Darcy and Isaac.
Charlie must have dozed off on the sofa as he gets woken up by the front door unlocking and Nick taking his shoes off and dumping his keys on the table. "Char?" he says calmly. "In here babe" Charlie replies yawning.
Nick walks into the living room and sees a very sleepy Charlie sat on the sofa and smiles at how cute he looks. "Oh babe did you fall asleep while studying?" Nick asks. Charlie looks at the table at his notes that were scattered about "Seems so - I guess I've studied way too hard this week" he replies. Nick chuckles and nods at him.
Nick heads to the kitchen to get a drink "Want a cuppa babe?" he asks. "Yes please darling" Charlie replies. Nick makes two cups of tea in their N + C cups that Sarah had bought them a few years back as a Christmas present each as Charlie would always be round their house when they first started dating. Nick walks into the living room with the two cups and sees Charlie moving all his notes to one side in a pile which he will probably go back to later and puts the cups down on the table.
Nick sits down on the sofa and Charlie lays down with his head on Nick's lap and looks up at him smiling. "How was your shift babe?" Charlie says while looking at him. "Well it was good but very weird" he replies with a look on his face. "Oh? Why's that? Did a customer get in a huff again this week?" Charlie asks. "Oh nothing like that babe - I, erm, got approached by a talent agent saying they wanted me for a new Netflix show" Nick replies flabbergasted.
Charlie sits up looking very shocked at Nick. "What? Are you being serious or playing me right now?" he says. "I'm being very serious Char. He said I looked like a certain part for a show that Netflix is doing and it's a main lead if I wanted to try out for it" Nick replies while putting his hand in his pocket to retrieve the contact card. He hands the card to Charlie to show that he wasn't lying.
"Oh my god. Are you going to try for it?" Charlie replies excitedly. "I don't know - I have no acting experience, I mean I'm just a rugby lad who works in a coffee shop and there's no way I'd get it" he replies. "Well think about it babe - you can always try it and if you don't like it then you still have your rugby" Charlie smiles. "Yeah you're right - I'll think about it and maybe give them a call on Monday when the office opens again." he replies.
They sit and watch some RuPaul's Drag Race while sipping on their teas when both Nick and Charlie's phones buzzes on the table. Charlie leans over and picks up his phone to check and it's the group chat.
DarcyTheEgg: GUUUUUUUUUUUUYS WHAT TIME WE MEETING TONIGHT????
TheMarvelHater: 8pm our place. Don't forget the snacks
TaosWifey: Don't worry about the alcohol - we have some here.
Charlie smiles and looks over at Nick who has now picked up his phone. "I think I'm gonna mention it in the chat" Nick says to Charlie. Charlie nods.
RugbyLadNicky: GUYS I NEED YOUR OPINIONS.
TheMarvelHater: Isn't that Charlie is for?
RugbyLadNicky: He already knows about this.. I want my friends opinions!
Jonesy: OH?
DarcyTheEgg: OH?
TheBookWhisperer: I am now intrigued.
RugbyLadNicky: Okay so I got approached by a talent agent at work today, they want me to audition for a Netflix show...
Jonesy: NICK???? OH MY GOD?????
DarcyTheEgg: NICHOLAS!!!!
TheBookWhisperer: Is it legit though Nick?
TheMarvelHater: Same question as Isaac - there's always some creeps out there.
TaosWifey: Yeah I agree.
RugbyLadNicky: Yeah I thought that too but they gave me their contact card and I have checked it out myself - it's legit and there is a show that they're going to be recording. So what do I do???
DarcyTheEgg: NICHOLAS. YOU COULD BE A TV STAR. I WOULD GO FOR IT!! OTHERWISE I WILL COME OVER THERE AND SLAP YOU
Jonesy: Ignore her Nick. But yes go for it! You never know if you don't.
TheMarvelHater: I'm skeptical but no matter what I say you'll do it anyway...
Charbug: Let's discuss this later when we're all in the same room then we can come up with a plan for Nick when he rings them up on Monday..
*Everyone reacts with a thumbs up*
Charlie puts his phone on the table and hugs Nicks. "Whatever you plan to do I'll be here every step of the way because I love you" he smiles. Nick looks at Charlie with a big smile and hugs back. They go back to watching TV before they have to head out.
