Monique's Pov

my weekend was spent relaxing on the couch with Netflix and doing some uni work, however, I did continue to message Charlie, I know I know, I said I should stop, but I couldn't help it he was like a magnet drawing me in when I wasn't seeing him, I was thinking about him, it was beginning to consume me, and it wasn't good, but I had no control over it anymore.

Charlie: Hey Mon, How are you?

Monique: I'm good thank you, yourself?

Charlie: yeah I'm good, how's your day? been up to much?

Monique: no not really, just been watching Netflix and doing uni work, you?

Charlie: same just recovery, nothing fancy

Monique: recovery is important though

Charlie: Yes, Dr. Monique 😂

Monique: I'm not a doctor but thanks 😂

Charlie: but you could be if you wanted to

Monique: yeah but that requires more studying and I'm not a fan of that

Charlie: but you're smart, you've got this

Monique: thanks, but I don't know imagine Monique Larkin Dr of Sports Therapy

Charlie: has a nice ring to it I think

Monique: ha ha very funny

Charlie: I'm not joking but alright

Monique: sure sure

Charlie: So I'm bored, Let's do something

Monique: like what? 

Charlie: I don't know, I know barely anything about you lets play 20 questions

Monique: and I like it that way, you know I work at your football club, and technically I'm breaching my contract by messaging you. 

Charlie: I know that, and I thank you for taking that risk for me

Monique: you started it, I'm only messaging you back out of kindness, I don't want to leave you on read

Charlie: Ouch okay aha I'll stop messaging you then.

Monique: okay then be my guest.


I don't know why but I'm so much more confident talking to him over the phone, it's like I'm someone else, and I can think about what I say before I say it. Charlie must have taken my message literally because he hasn't messaged me for 15 minutes, and its actually killing me.


Monique: alright fine, I'm sorry, I enjoy talking to you

Charlie: that's what I thought 😊

Monique: so 20 questions?

Charlie: sounds good, I'll go first, what's your favourite colour?

Monique: that's easy, Blue

Charlie: what kind of blue?

Monique: Like a light blue, like the sky

Charlie: Pretty

Monique: okay my turn, what's your favourite colour?

Charlie: Copycat, my favourite colour is Blue as well but like navy, like Carlton blue

Monique: coincidentally 

Charlie: what kind of music do you like to listen to?

Monique: I like pop mostly, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, that sort of stuff, but I'm pretty easy and can listen to anything and everything
