When we were 18

When your lips touch mine.

Charlie's POV:

Nick's mum made me feel so welcome when I stayed at his house she let me put how much food I wanted on my plate and didn't rush me which made me feel more in control, after a really nice meal I offered to help Sarah clear the dishes away but she said 'Oh no darling your a guest, I'm just going to leave them to drain over night anyway so you two go and chill'. Nick took my hand and we went upstairs to his room as soon as we were in his room he closed the door and gently pushed me against the door kissing me passionately and honestly whenever his lips touch mine it felt like lightning going through them. 

After making out for abit we got into bed and cuddled but I could sense that there was something on Nick's mind that he maybe wanted to tell me, I took his left hand and said 'Nick baby is everything okay, I feel like there's something you want to tell me'.

Nick sat up and was playing with the edge of the duvet cover I took both his hands in mine and said 'Nick you can tell me anything I'm here for you, I can help you' Nick took a deep breath and said 'Last night I had a dream about you and me, at first it was amazing and then it changed to my surprise on Sunday and I asked you a question and you said no and then before I could ask you why you vanished right in front of me. I was so scared Char I felt like I couldn't breath properly and like my duvet was suffocating me so I sat up and cried out'.

Hearing Nick tell me about his bad dream last night and how it made him feel pulled at my heart strings, I hugged him tightly and said 'Oh Nick I'm so sorry that must have been so scary, I'm no expert but it sounds like you suffered an anxiety attack. Did you talk to your mum about this' Nick nodded and then said 'Yeah she came in when I cried out and she took me downstairs for hot chocolate, I wanted to tell you because I don't want us to have any secrets from each other'.

Me and Nick linked out baby fingers together and said 'I promise we'll never keep secrets from each other. And I don't know what this question was but I know I'll say yes to it'.

Nick's POV:

Today was the day of mine and Charlie's surprises to each-other and I had no idea that both our surprises would happen at the same location, last night I remembered that we'd agreed to meet up with the others and go shopping for our Prom outfits so I messaged Tao and asked if we could meet up on Sunday instead and it turned out that was fine as Tao's mum wasn't happy that he'd gotten in trouble with Mr Farouk so she grounded him for a day. 

I looked over at Charlie who was starting to wake up he looked over at me and said 'What time do we need to get up' I leaned over and gave Charlie a kiss on the lips and said 'Well my alarms going to go off any minute.... Now' the last word left my mouth exactly at the same time as my alarm sounded from my phone. Charlie sat up in bed and stretched his arms up towards the ceiling his scars catching in the sunlight and I couldn't stop thinking how beautiful he looked he looked at me and I said 'You know I love the way you look in the morning', Charlie blushed and said 'Really I mean my hair looks like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards and I always look even more tired than I did before'.

Me and Charlie finally got up and got ready for an exciting day ahead, it was a beautiful sunny day so we both decided to wear shorts and I chose my aqua blue top I thought Charlie might wear a shirt over his top but instead he came back into my room wearing a white top with red trim on the sleeves, he stopped in front of me and said 'Harry helped me pick it out, does it look okay I can always change'. I wrapped my arms around Charlie's waist and said 'Charlie you look amazing, in fact your turning me on right now' Charlie blushed even more and said 'Well maybe we can make out later when we get home, we need to get our skates on otherwise we'll miss the Bus'.
