" Sweetheart.. " - Mialotte

Drama

Mia
I don't know what's been going on with me recently, I've been.. drifting off. I know why. It's Charlotte, it's been Charlotte for a long time. My heart rate increases when I'm next to her, my breaths falls short and I find my eyes wondering down her body. I dreamt about her last night, just Charlotte. Nothing about Charlotte, just her.
I wash my face and hop into my car to quickly drive to the coffee shop before work. I enter as usual, and the worker smiles at me and hands me my drink, it's a normal thing now. " Thank you. " I smile at her and give her a five pound note and tell her to keep the change. When I finally get to the nursery, I get a phone call. " Hello? " I say and have a sip of my coffee.
" Mia! It's Roger. I need you to cover at the sister nursery today, that 17 year old is off with the flu. " I roll my eyes,
" fine. " I say and hang up before getting back in my car and drive to the other nursery. I see Charlotte getting out her car and I immediately stumble back into my car. My heart goes crazy, for no reason. When I see she has went inside I quickly check I look okay before walking in. I get a black look from most of the staff, Winter, Sorscha, and even some of the parents. It's funny, I haven't said a word to half of them, it's just 'gossip' their going off, rightfully so. Seems to describe me pretty well to everyone else, I'll leave it at that. I walk into the office where Marjorie and autumn are sat. " Marjorie, autumn. " I smirk at their faces.
" Mia. Your in the baby room with Charlotte. Keep your mitts off of my staff and the parents will you? " Marjorie sighs and leans back on her chair.
" I'll keep note of it Marjorie. Autumn. " I look her up and down to piss her off and walk off. I hear them talk about how bad it's going to be today, i laugh. Wait. I'm in the baby room. With Charlotte. The thought of her makes my heart race and it's horrible. I tidy myself up before walking in. I see her face when I walk in, she's so pretty.

Mia?! Marjorie is definitely giving me a case of wine for this. What the fuck. She's not even moving, she's just, standing there. " Sweetheart. Nice to see you again. " She suddenly blinks and smirks at me.
" Mia. I'd say good morning but I hope you had a bad morning. " I sigh before looking out the window to see a parent walking into the room. I see mias head nod a bit, then she goes to the other side of the room and begins to set up some of the toys. At least she is more quite today.
After all the children we expect in today are here, I decide to get away from Mia and bring my group into the garden. She has been acting way off. I catch her staring my way, not AT me I don't think, just, near me.

Mia
Why is she so cute? I literally can't stop looking at her. She's literally probably the most beautiful person I've ever seen. The day is going by too quick. I don't want to leave her.

There's an hour till closing and most of the children have gone home, there's two more. " Sweetheart? " I say and she turns around, I smile at her, " When are the parents meant to be here? " I see her look at the time and sigh, " Jacks are meant to be here in 5 minutes and Sarah's were meant to be here 30 minutes ago." As she says that a drunken parent stumbles into the building. " Sarah!! " He slurs and opens his arms, but Charlotte picks her up. " Hello beautiful.. " He goes closer to Charlotte. My fists begin to clench up involuntarily.
" sir I'm going to need you to back away. " He doesn't listen to her and takes another step, " You can come home with me honey.. " He whispers in her ear. That's it. I walk behind him, not that he noticed. I tapped him on the back and he stumbled backwards then faced me. " Well aren't you a pre- " He began to say but his jaw was closed shut by my fist. As soon as I hit him he fell down onto the floor. Charlotte had left to presumably tell Marjorie. I stood there with Sarah in my arms, she was crying. " Shh darling it's okay.. " I bring her into my chest close and rock her.

I run into Marjorie's office in a panic. " Marjorie! Autumn! Okay. Long story. I need you in the baby room. " I say out of breath. They immediately get up and rush to the baby room with me. I stand outside the door and look in, the man is still groaning on the floor and mias holding Sarah. She's rocking her around, calming her down. It's weird to see her like that, but.. I like her like that, it's cute.. No! No! Not cute, still Mia. We rush into the room and Marjorie goes straight to Mia. She gives me a smile and a glance before letting Sarah run to me. " Hi! " I whisper and pick her up. I hear Marjorie asking Mia what happened, Mia laughed and said something along the lines of, ' he touched me and char without permission, came into the nursery drunk, so I put him to sleep. ' her lips moved, they look so soft.. what would it be like with mine against hers? No.. no. Marjorie sighs at mias comment and tells her to go home. She nods yes and walks past me, giving me a smirk and looked me up and down. I watched her hips sway and her walk away as I sighed and put Sarah down to follow her. She turned around when we were in an empty corridor and opened her mouth, " Do you need something sweetheart.. " She smiled
" I just wanted to say, thank you Mia. " I saw her feet move a bit more towards me and I gulped.
" Anything for you hm?.. "
" I don't know how to thank you honestly, if me and Carly were there.. "
" But I was there for you. Carly's at home. Would you want to, go for drinks? I don't think I can sleep after that adrenaline rush.. "
" I- " Going out with her of all people? I don't know.. I do owe her though, " Why not? A few friendly drinks never hurt anyone. "
" Really? " She said, smiling.
" Yeah. "
" Great! I'll pick you up in an hour? "
" That would be great, thank you Mia. "
" No problem sweetheart. "
