Chapter 18 - So when's this date then?

"Okay, open your eyes."

Charlie whispers as I walk into my room, my eyes covered by my hands.

Laid on my bed is a black skater skirt, with tights and a white tank top. I'm impressed.

"Not too bad Mr Jones."

Charlie scrunches his face up as he hates being called Mr Jones. He finds it way too 'Fifty Shades or Grey' for his liking.

"You're such a bitch." He tries not to smirk as he speaks.

"N-no, I actually like the outfit." I smile sweetly at him. As much as I had my doubts, Charlie actually picked clothes that I would like to be seen in public in.

I go into my parent's room to get changed into the clothes that Charlie picked. The tank top is a little low cut and the skirt is quite slim fitting although it doesn't look half bad, carefully I tuck it into my skirt and put black tights on under. My hair is still tied up in a messy bun, however I just leave it since its only bowling. Makeup is also left to a minimum so I only wear foundation, mascara and a subtle pink lipstick. As I apply my lips there is a knock on the bedroom door.

"Come in!" I shout. Charlie pops his head round the door and grins, without saying a word.

"Wow..." He finally says. "You look great!"

I raise an eyebrow at Charlie, as he bites his lip, avoiding eye-contact completely.

"Are you sure?" I place my hands on my hips and pout like he does in his Instagram photos.

"Ella, trust me, you look beautiful." He smiles sheepishly at me as I grab my backpack and leather jacket, before we head back to Charlie's house. Julie meets us halfway, bringing the car with her. I check the time on my phone and it's almost 5pm. We jump into the car and Julie sets off for the bowling alley.

"Don't you think I did a great job in choosing your clothes." Charlie says with a smug expression on his face.

"Shut up, I bet you're regretting calling me bossy now aren't you. Because I did a great job!" I nudge him jokingly as he opens the car window.

"Mum, it's bloody boiling in here!" He whines.

"Charlie!" Julie snaps. "Language..."

I quietly snigger in the corner whilst Charlie blushes a bright red after being told off.

We make a quick pit-stop at the train station to pick up Reece. He stands in the carpark with his suitcase laid next to him. As cringe as it sounds, my heart starts beating faster as we approach him.

"Hey man!" Charlie hugs him first.

"Hey, how you been?" Reece pats Charlie's back.

"Good good."

Reece then wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me in tightly.

"I've missed you so much." He whispers softly into my ear.

"I've missed you too..." I mumble.

"Get in lovebirds..." Julie giggles to herself, referring to me and Reece. Charlie shoots me a glance however I look in the opposite direction before getting back into the car.

We drive back to Charlie's house so that Reece is able to put his suitcase in the house, before we go and meet the lads.

"So when's the tour?" Reece smirks, resting his hands on the doorframe of the spare room.

"Why don't you ask the guy that lives here?" I say bluntly, fixing my attention onto my phone.

"Because I figured it would be fun." Reece sits on the end of my bed, pouting slightly. He stretches out his hand to hold mine.
