Charlottes POV;
I walked into Marjorie's office Tuesday morning desperately needing a word with her about Mia. I did get why she was so upset but she didn't have to act the way she did and I wanted to scream from the rooftops that Mia wasn't as bad as she acted.
"Marjorie?" I say to the room knocking. No answer. I knock again but still no answer. I sigh opening the door. Marjorie's sat there writing "Marjor-" before I can finish saying her name she cuts me off. "What do you want Charlotte unless this is important get back to work" she spits her voice filled with venom. I swallow nervously but don't leave. Autumns in the corner of the room looking at me with sympathy.
"Marjorie I'm sorry ok but let me explain!" I plead. Marjorie rolls her eyes as she looks "fine you have 5 minutes to explain starting from the start" she crosses her arms over her chest impatiently. I sigh beginning to explain how nice Mia had been, how comforting while my husband cheated, how she'd even invited me to move in with her and then getting to the part where yet again she stood up for me when I wouldn't get back with my husband and stood by me even though I was considering going back to him. "..and you've been gone a long time Marjorie! You don't know what's been going on and even when you were here you were too wrapped up with your boyfriend that you couldn't see what was in front of your eyes the whole time!" I notice that autumns looking at me in surprise "you moved in with Mia?" She asks. I nod.
"Autumn you knew and didn't tell me" Marjorie turns to autumn. Autumn nods "it wasn't my story to tell" she explains. "And she understood even after all Mia's done to her so you should too!" I shout. I've got to admit in that moment I was acting a bit like a toddler who was throwing a tantrum over not getting sweets.
Marjorie sighs "listen char I understand ok I'm sorry for the way I reacted" she gets up giving me a hug. I nod instantly forgiving her. "Thanks Marjorie" a smile spreads across my face. I was back in Marjorie's good books.
Mia's POV;
"She what!? With who" I hear Reece say into the phone. I instantly know he's speaking with Marjorie by the way he talks. He seems to change his voice around the people he's dating.
Once he hangs up he looks at me weirdly. I can tell he wants to say something but is trying to word it correctly "so you and Charlotte huh?" He asks. A blush creeps across my face as I ask what he means. "Cut the act Marjorie told me" he looks down at his computer. I swallow trying to say something but he beats me to it "never pictured you'd be into girls" I immediately tell him to shut up but he then starts teasing me about Charlotte "so are yous two going to get married when me and Marjorie go away again. We were only Gone a week and you became an item" he smirks.
"Hey reece how was your holiday" I hear from the doorway. We both turn to see Carly stood there. "It was good yeah" he nods. "And Mia how's Charlotte" she giggles. Another blush comes across my face. How could Carly know? Reece laughs egging her on by saying "yeah Mia how's Charlotte"
I bite my lip "how do you know?" I ask a question of my own looking at Carly. "Charlotte told me. She said she wants to be your girlfriend" Carly smirks. I breathe out an exaggerated breath "does everyone at that bloody nursery know our business" I say half joking. Carly laughs before exiting the room leaving me and Reece sat there. "Oh by the way she's covering here tomorrow just make sure not to do anything inappropriate in front of the kids" he winks which makes me blush even harder.
