IF AGE GAPS MAKE YOU
UNCO...
It's been one whole week and boy has this week been hard, i have spent the whole time organizing the house, i went out to get groceries and sign up Louis to a new school. In which today is he's first day of school.
"Louis time for school" i yell. Louis comes running with his little backpack. "Mamma can i take Loki with me to school today?" He asks me pouting. "No love,dogs are not allowed at school..."I said smiling. He looked at me sad. "But he can come with us to take you to school, okay?" I said and that changed his mood instantly. "Okay!" He says smiling.
After i have dropped Louis at school I decided to go get myself a cup of coffee and something to eat and walk into this little coffee shop.
"Hello.." I hear a voice say and I look up at the beautiful brown eyes of Charlie Swan.
I groan internally as i try to pushed him out of my mind again after our first meeting almost a week ago. "Mr. Swan..." I say giving him a small smile. "Please call me Charlie." He says. "Mr. Swan makes me feel more old..." He continues and I chuckle..
"Order for Rubi!" The lady calls out.
"Would you like to sit with me...?" Charlie asks. "Uhm i have things to do..."I say as i start to blush. "Oh, come on you have to eat that..." He says pointing to my donut.
"Alright," I say nodding and follow him to a table. He sits down and i sit opposite of him, Loki sits down on my lap. "So, Rubi..." He says smiling . I blush as the way he says my name sends tingles through my body.
"How do you like Forks?" He asks me before taking a sip of his coffee. I give him a small smile."It's nice. But coming to a very small town it can be a bit unsettling." I confess. "But we are loving it." I say blushing.
"Does Louis dad loving it to?" Charlie asks and I froze at the mention of the man who I'm running away from. "He is not in the picture." Was all i said.
Charlie looked at me for a moment and for a moment i was scared he could see how nervous I was . "Bad break up?" He asked and i sighed. "Do you really want to know about Louis father!?" I snapped feeling myself getting a little annoyed. He was still a sore subject.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to overstep. " he said looking at me all guilty, but with a hint of worry making me feel like a jackass for snapping."It's fine,"I said letting out a sigh. "It is still a sore subject..." I said trying to explain without giving to much away.
"It's ok." He said giving me a small smile.
I looked at my phone. "I really should go... I have some other things to do before picking up Louis from school," I said and I stood up. For a moment i thought i could see sadness in his eyes. "It was nice talking to you," I said not knowing what else to say.
"Yeah, you to," He said putting his hands in his pockets looking nervously at me as he had also stood up.
"Could i maybe get your number and maybe i dont know take you out for a coffee." I looked at him in shock. "Look you're really nice and all... But i am not ready to date and..." I said but he cut me off. "It doesn't have to be a date, Your new in town and i thought well maybe a friendly cup of coffee every now and then, I could even give you a tour show you and Louis around. Maybe introduce you to some other people seeing you are new to town." He said blushing and i had to say he was hard to resist.
He was cute i had to give him that and persistent without being creepy. I hesitated but handed my phone to him. He put his number in and dialing himself, so he had my number.
"Well I have to go bye Charlie." I said and side hugged him as his sent filling my nose and God did he smell good... It took everything in me to not let out a soft moan. i walked out with Loki and to my car not looking back to afraid to.
Charlie POV
I smile as i watch Rubi and Loki walk out of the cafe. I internally high five myself for getting her number. Even though it's not for a date but just to spend time and get to know each other.
I watched her drive off and I walked to my own car with small a smile thinking about her.
The thing that keeps playing through my mind though is how she reacted when i asked about Louis dad. Not only sadness flashed through her eyes but rage and a little bit of fear. I tried to manage my expectations that she might not ever want to date me but when she hugged me i could have sworn she let out a little sigh or moan and that send tingles all through my body.
