Notes:

I hadn't written anything in a long time and saw a prompt about a cat escaping from one apartment into someone else's so decided to do it for Nick and Charlie.

Would you like another chapter? Let me know.

Enjoy.

Chapter Text
Everything had been going wrong for Charlie - his alarm didn't go off so he woke up late which meant he had to rush around the apartment getting ready for work then once he arrived at the subway his train was delayed. When the train arrived, he rushes on and stands near the door so he could literally run from the station to his workplace but once the train jolts forward, the person next to him accidentally spills their coffee all over his shirt. He sighs and mutters "can this day get any worse?"

Arriving at work an hour after his starting time, he walks into the reception area and sees Elle at the desk talking to a rather tall muscly blond haired man. He walks past and nods at Elle then heads into the lift upstairs to his desk.

Once at his desk, he slumps into his chair and sighs. His work colleague Isaac who is sat next to him looks up from his book "Bad morning?" he asks.

"The worst. Overslept, delayed train and then someone decided to spill their coffee on me" Charlie replies while opening his emails.

"Oh dear, let's hope the rest of today goes smoother" Isaac chirps before looking back at his book.

"Yeah hope so" Charlie sighs. He looks at his emails and sees he hasn't got too much editing to do today which makes him so happy and he hopes that it means he can get out of here just after lunch so he can get home and sort out the mess in his apartment after the rushing around that had happened literally a few hours before.

A few hours pass by when Isaac pops a coffee and a pastry next to him which reminded him that he hadn't eaten so he looks up and thanks Isaac with a nod and a smile. He picks up the coffee and takes a sip when he notices Elle and the guy from earlier entering the floor he is on. Elle is chattering away excitedly and the guy is smiling and nodding at every word that she is saying. He doesn't realise that he is staring until he hears Isaac clearing his throat.

"Liking what you see there Charlie?" Isaac laughs.

He laughs awkwardly while rubbing his neck, "I don't know what you're talking about.." he looks at his computer screen to hide his blush.

He was so glad that Isaac didn't say anything after that but he really wanted to know who this beautiful angel was because for the rest of the day he knew he would not be able to stop thinking about him.

The rest of the morning goes quickly which he is so thankful for and it was now 1pm when he noticed that all the editing was done for the day. He smiles and stretches his arms above his head and then turns to Isaac "Well that's me done for the day"

"So you going to be thinking about the new guy for the rest of the day now aren't you?" Isaac says with a smirk.

"What...? N-no!" he splutters.

Isaac laughs "I'm joking Charlie - go home and relax, you need it after the morning you've had"

He smiles, bends down and grabs his bag from the floor. "Thanks, think I'll sit with Aphrodite and read a book"

"Oh give Aph a scratch under her chin for me, I miss that pesky cat" Isaac smiles. "I will try and pop over sometime as it's been a while since us gang have hung out"
