Limelight - Charlie Bushnell

10 things i ..2/2 (12)

Real life : The bathroom 1 hour into the party

Celias Pov:

I sloppily typed out a caption  for my instagram post ,  allowing the alcohol to control my  fingers  as they glided  callously across the key bored no care for if the words i was typing formed literate sentences .  Once my drunk mind decided it was good enough i stood from wear i was perched on the edge of the bathtub and pulled my cherry lip-gloss out of my lacy black bra and brought my self to the mirror where i coaxed my lips with the gooey substance until it slipped through the gap on my lips and left my mouth tasting of artificial cherry . I checked my self over once more adjusting my dress slightly before slamming the lip gloss on the counter and heading out the bathroom , i had no pockets and it left a odd shape in my bra so i figured leaving it in the bathroom was the best bet .

The moment i opened the bathroom door the music and lights hit me like a train bringing back my dizzy state and flowing energy back in to my body . Every limb on me wanted to dance , they wanted to move and be free but my mind and heart had other plans , damn body can't you  just work together for once? Anyway the heart wants what it wants , i thought to my self before i started wondering  pushing past people i wasn't even sure i new no care to the fact it was my party and  i was basically blanking everyone all i cared about was finding them . My urgent path was stopped by a warm smile and bright blue eyes that towered over me " There you are , i was starting to think you ran off with that charlie kid "  i rolled my eyes at her

"Taylor i would never leave you , i would miss the cats to much" 

"Hardy ha ha " she replied stiffly , sarcasm laced her tone . A sickly sweet smile replaced her previously  blank expression  " Happy birthday ceecee im so proud to be your mother really your such a  wonderful soul " . She pulled me in for a hug my heels not helping me much since she was a foot taller then me  so i still had to go on my tiptoes " Now go find that boy of yours " we pulled away and i smiled at her before running of to find my boy.

After what felt like 6 years and a trip to narnia i gave up and assumed he had left or was using the loo or some other bullshit , in a state of defeat i found my self sat on the kitchen counter red solo cup in hand filled with white wine (because i'm fancy like that ) slipping deeper into a daydream and letting my thoughts corrupt my mind making me blissfully unaware of my surroundings .

"Lia there you are " my body jolted at the sound and i let out a  scream before slamming my hand to my mouth " Jesus char you scared the shit out of me " we both began laughing at the situation as he itched closer to me . "What are you doing sat alone in the kitchen at your birthday party? " He asked as he came to a stop in front of me my crossed legs grazing his lower chest and waist "I was looking for you actually " .

" Really?" i uncrossed my legs and he stood between them his hands finding my waist

"Yeah , but i couldn't find you so i gave up turned to alcohol " my legs wrapped loosely around his hips  , his arms wrapped fully round my waist

"Well i'm here now " 

There was a stillness in the air , for a moment the noise of the party went radio silent and it was just me and him . I could feel my face growing hot as his came closer i blocked out all the thoughts telling me it was to soon , or that it was  a bad idea and allowed my hands to wrap round his neck pulling him closer towards me until  there was no room left between our lips .

I had been waiting for this since we met , my delusions were all seemingly coming true who new delulu really is the selulu . The moment sadly did have to end , We both pulled away still remaining close together before i let out a horribly timed giggle which turned into a manic laugh seemingly unable to stop my self i glanced at charlies worried face " sorry that was stupid i nev-"

"No no it was perfect i'm not laughing at you or the kiss i promise " i tried to explain , the last thing i wanted was charlie thinking this was a mistake " Then what are you laughing at " he asked

"Honestly i have no clue " i cleared my throat as my laugh died down " We should do that again sometime , maybe when there is less alcohol involved "  a smile spread across charlies flustered face  " Yeah i would like that  , oh actually i have something for you " he handed me a small purple box and my heart seemed to beat a little faster . I opened it giddy like a kid on christmas . 

" CHARR OMG "  i threw my arms around him pulling him into a tight hug before pulling away to look at the necklace that lay in the box , it was a little necklace with a C engraved on it  the back said i want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck . " I have one with a L on it for lia , we both have C as our first initial so Lia made more sense to me   i knew call it what you want was one of your top taylor songs so" 

"Aw char its perfect i'm gonna sob" on closer inspection i saw a corner of a piece of paper sticking out of the box ,  pulled it gently and unfolded it to read the note inside "shit um , its a little corny so please humour me here " i smiled at him before looking down to read the note 

I know this is going to be painfully cringey but i don't care .I know you love 10 things i hate about you so i thought i would pay homage to it just slightly different so here's 10 things i love about you 

1. i love your compassion and love for others

2. i love how you don't care how people view you 

3. i love how you need small noise to sleep 

4. i love your dedication to things important to you

5. i even love your taylor swift obsession 

6. i love how the dimple under your eye only shows when you really laugh 

7. i love how angry you get when people don't understand the slang terms you use 

8. i love how your probably going to become a crazy cat lady when your older

9. i love how you still have to shop in the kids section sometimes because your 4'11

10. i love you, the person you are  , every element of your being is perfect in my eyes 

I'm so crappy with poetry and sappy shit but i hope that was a good way to build up what i am about to ask

will you be my girlfriend ?
