CHOCOLATE covered almonds was the reason Charlotte kept telling herself that she was headed in the direction of gracie's studio. Not gracie. Ever since gracie started actually recording and producing music and not just hosting concerts in her own bedroom, Charlotte found herself in the studio a ton too. It was always "where's Gracie and charlotte?" never just "where's Gracie?" Everytime she went, she would walk by the chocolate covered almonds twisty dispenser machine and gracie had always teased her about it. As much as Charlotte wanted to say that the almonds were the reason for her arrival, it wasnt. She grew out of her chocolate covered almond craving but now rather craved a vanilla pine scent.
"new song?"
"yeah just working it out right now"
"haven't had much progress yet"
"what's it about?"
"oh just someone"
"do i know them?"
"geez, whats with all the questions"
"hey, don't avoid the question"
"maybe you do, maybe you don't"
"i don't know, you'll just have to figure it out later"
"Is it about a boy?"
"maybeeee"
"The one at the convenience store?.."
"Huh? What"
"nevermind..."
"okay..."
"you free tonight to hang?"
Charlotte's frustration grew as Gracie continued her act, there way no way she didn't know what Charlotte was saying. Charlotte didnt know how to bring it up, "hey who was that guy that was at the convenience store with you at midnight?" No that's too casual stalker, how about, "Are you fucking the guy who stands in front of butter shelves?" Nope, no way. "Who's the guy who you hosted at your house?" Maybe but it sounded kind of desperate. Okay whatever, Charlotte was too frustrated to care.
"hey um Gracie?"
"question for you"
"mhm"
"areyoudatingthatboyfromtheconveniencestore"
"theonethatyouhostedandstayedatyourhouse"
Well shit, that definitely wasn't what charlotte wanted to say. The utter silence that came over charlotte made her want to bury herself in a dirt hole six feet under. As Charlotte was deep in though, or rather deciding where to bury herself, she was met with a laugh she could recognize from anywhere
"oh my god, you can't be serious char"
Confusion spread all over charlotte's face as she was met with a laughing Gracie. Why was she laughing? Nevermind, Charlotte ruined it for herself, she just unintentionally admitted to accidentally stalking and caring too much about Gracie. Of course she was going to be laughing.
In any other situation Charlotte would have been overjoyed, having made Gracie laugh. However, this situation was different, she was missing the joke. She didnt understand what funny thing she said. Sure, charlotte didnt want the words to come out like a jumbled mess but she got out what was weighing on her mind. This was better than just letting it sinking her down. At least that's what charlotte was telling herself.
"Charlotte..."
"he's gay"
"oh"
