Monique's Pov

I re-entered the party and found Emily sitting by herself "Where's Ed?" I asked "Over with his brother, everything okay?" she asked "Yeah everything is just perfect," I said looking over to Charlie, who was already looking at me I smiled at him, and he smiled back "I'm glad, if there is anything either of you need both Ed and I are here" she said "thank you I appreciate it" I spent the rest of the night with Ed, Emily and Charlie, they offered me a ride home, I took the offer and they dropped me home. I got inside and made my way straight up to my bed, I was exhausted. at least tomorrow was Sunday, so there was no work.


I woke up the next morning not feeling too bad, I'm thankful to Emily for making me drink water for the rest of the night. I got up and had some breakfast and then rang Jenny and Amy "Hey girl how did it go last night?" Amy asked "It couldn't have gone better" I answered "What happened?" she asked "Well we kissed, actually we made out," I said "Oh my god! what was it like, was it everything you expected it to be?" Jenny asked excitedly "It was so much better, there were fireworks, butterflies and it was hot" I answered  "Oh my god! so what's the go now?" Amy asked "Well we've decided to see where things go, but we aren't going to act like it at our houses, we just have to make sure that no one sees us going to each other's houses" I explained, "this is so exciting, so risky," jenny said "I never knew how bad I wanted this until it's happened," I said "oh Mon! you guys are adorable together, I don't see it any other way" Amy said, there was a knock at my door "Sorry girls I've got to go, but I'll see you later" I said and hung up. 

I got up off the couch to answer the door, I opened it "What are you doing here?" I asked, standing at my door was Charlie "Well hello to you too" he smiled "Get in" I said laughing and pulling him inside "You look cute" he said smiling, and that was when I realised i was still in my pajamas

"shut up," I said laughing "same color as your dress from last night" Charlie smirked "Yeah yeah" I rolled my eyes, and started walking to the kitchen "Where do you think you're going?" he said grabbing my arm and pulling me back into him "I was g...

"shut up," I said laughing "same color as your dress from last night" Charlie smirked "Yeah yeah" I rolled my eyes, and started walking to the kitchen "Where do you think you're going?" he said grabbing my arm and pulling me back into him "I was going to offer you some food," I said looking up at him "I'm only hungry for one thing," he said as he leaned down and kissed me, ughhh this boy does things to me, I kissed him back, he pulled away, "I'm going to go get dressed, the tv is over there with the remote, make yourself comfortable," I said. I headed upstairs and put on a t-shirt and some leggings and then headed back downstairs, Charlie was sitting on the couch scrolling through his phone "This is weird" I said as I sat down "Yeah, it will take a bit to get used to it" he said "I like it though" I admitted "me too" he said smiling at me. "oh before I forget Ed and Emily are having a games night on Monday night, they usually only invite me but they've asked if you wanted to come as well" Charlie offered "oh wow, that's so nice of them, of course ill come, just send me the address" I smiled "great ill let them know" he said. 

we spent the next couple of hours on the couch watching TV, it was funny cause it started off so awkward, I didn't know what to say, and neither did he, it was like we had never spoken before, you wouldn't believe we were making out the night before from this behavior. It was okay now though we sort of worked it out and we were now cuddling on the couch, he had his arm around me and his hand on my leg, it was nice. "did you want something to eat?" I asked "Yeah sure," he said "Sandwiches?" I offered "Sounds good" he smiled "What would you like on it?" I asked "What have you got?" he asked, I offered him to just come into the kitchen and pick out what he wanted, I grabbed out the bread and butter and let him pick everything else. we ended up having ham, tomato lettuce, and mayo sandwiches, they were pretty good. we then sat back on the couch and cuddled for a little bit longer. "I should probably go," Charlie said "Do you have to?" I whined "Yeah, sorry babe, gonna get some sleep before tomorrow, you know, get to sit down at watch my game" he laughed "Yeah yeah right, work" I laughed as well "Goodnight" he smiled and pecked me on the lips "goodnight" i smiled as i closed the door behind him.

I decided I was going to go to bed too, I had to work out how I was going to hide my lovey-dovey eyes from everyone else.


the next morning, I did my usual and headed into the club. I got to my office and there were flowers on my desk, I closed the door behind me and grabbed the flowers and saw there was a card sitting on them, I grabbed the card and read it "I didn't know what flowers you liked so I got you these I hope these are okay. love always- C" it was so cute but also so risky, I put the card in the same drawer I put this note and then put the flowers on the shelf above my desk. I went to the washroom to grab the towels and passed through the locker rooms, it was empty, the boys must already be in the viewing room, I grabbed the towels and headed back to my office putting them away. 

I sat in my office doing my uni work, glancing at the flowers every now and again. none of my other boyfriends had ever brought me flowers before. I left my door open today, not expecting many people cause they were spending the day in the viewing room "Hey girly, I missed you at the party, didn't see you leave, was everything okay?" Lauren asked as she came in "oh yeah, everything was fine, Emily and Ed drove me home" I answered "oh thats nice of them, so Charlie?" she asked "I smiled and pointed to the flowers "oh, my god, you guysssss, finally!" lauren said excitedly "yeah aha" I laughed "well congratulations, ill keep it a secret" she said smiling and leaving the office. I went back to my uni work and not long after had a knock "hey" they said, I turned around it was Tom "hey how are you?" I asked "im good, yourself?" he asked "im good, did you have fun at the party?" I asked "yeah I did, how about you?" he asked "definitley" I answered "youre the best" I said to him "what do you mean?" he asked "youre so sweet and kind" I smiled "aha thanks" he smiled "did you need something?" i asked "i just wanted to check in and see how you were" he said "see kind" i laughed "those flowers are nice" he pointed out "yeah they are, i brought them to just decorate the offic a bit, it was too white" i laughed "yeah understable, well have a good day" he smiled "you too" i said and he left.

the rest of the day went reasonably quickly which meant I got to go home sooner. later tonight I had games night at the Curnow's Charlie had sent me his address I just had to get there, apparently, dinner was included so all I had to do was go home and get changed.
