Chars Pov:

"It's.. uh complicated.." I'd say, before any more questions could be asked I quickly changed the subject "so how long have you been living here?" You are not good at small talk Charlotte, Jesus Christ.

Mias Pov:

I'd be confused at the sudden change of subject but I'd go with it, knowing she was uncomfortable. "No, I actually moved into the house a few doors down from you as soon as I started." Id wait a moment before speaking again "maybe you could show me about Saturday?"

Chars Pov:

I'd think to myself "how does she know where I live..." anyways, I'd reply quickly. Not wanting to sound too excited about the offer "ok, I guess I could show you all the good spots for food and coffee?"

*THE WEEKEND*

Mias Pov:

Saturday morning would roll about and I'd make sure that I looked good, a little bit over for going out, but it was with Charlotte, she always looks fantastic.. so I curled my hair and put on my flared leggings, converse and my black tube top, I had made sure to tan last night so I didn't look like a ghost. I had done a smoky eye with a black waterline. I knew I was overdressed but I wanted Charlotte to be impressed. I hopped in my car and drove to Charlottes house.

Chars Pov:

I had gotten up early and washed my hair, I knew I was just going out with Mia but there's something about her... I just.. it's.. I dont know! All I know is something about her heals apart of me only she can heal and see. Anyways I had straightened my hair and put on my flared jeans, white crop top and my Nike panda dunks, I put on some light makeup, but made sure I looked good with Mia, I knew she would look fantastic so I had to look my best for her.
I bolted out the door with my purse and phone to Mias car and hopped in it.

Mias Pov:

I saw her outfit, god she always looks so nice and put together. I watched her bolt to my car and jump in, "you look nice" I'd say checking her out, "maybe I should've worn that short leather dress after all" id mumble quietly to myself.

Chars Pov:

Id jump into her car and look at her, I wouldn't say 'check her out', I mean.. ok, FINE. Maybe I did check her out.. but only because she looked good! "thank you.. so do you" id respond to her quietly, I would clench my purse and awkwardly sit there, I heard her mumble something to herself but I couldn't make out what it was, anyways, we arrived at the café/restaurant place for brunch, we walked in and Mia had reserved it for us, we sat down at the table and ordered, I got this amazing French toast with cinnamon churros. "so uh, what happened with you and Reece?"

Mia's Pov:

Id look at her whilst driving and smile to myself, I put the radio on and played her favourite song, I heard her mumble the lyrics, I don't know why but sweater weather just matches her, anyways we reach the café place and I get our reservation, char seems confused that I booked something in advance. Anyways we ordered, she ordered this French toast cinnamon churros thing and I ordered vanilla, we ended up trading French toasts and it was really good, I just loved spending time with her. it was so calming. After we finished, char took me to a nearby beach where we bought ice creams and walked about the harbour, it felt like we were in a movie or something, I looked over to her and smiled, she didn't usually hold eye contact with me, I honestly don't know why. But we locked eyes for a minute before she broke away awkwardly, I smiled to myself, I honestly thought that this day was like a movie, I put my hand down after eating my ice cream, not intending anything. after about five minutes, our fingers brushed against each other.

Chars Pov:

I ended up hating my French toast so I swapped with Mia, after we had left I showed her the best beach in the area, we got ice creams and walked about the harbour, I had finished my ice cream so I had put my hand down, I felt Mia looking at me and smiling, I looked back at her and kind of stare/ smiled at her, I felt as if this day was speeding by, I saw Mia had finished her ice cream but didn't think anything of it, but then our hands brushed together and I felt the butterflies in my stomach. She looked over at me but I awkwardly stared ahead, It was already 8pm and I was due for a nap. We headed back to the car and Mia said shed take me home.

Mias Pov:

I told char id take her home, knowing she was exhausted, as soon as we got into the car I could see her dozing off, I looked at her when we were on the motorway, she was knocked out cold and I knew she wouldn't be able to make it to her bedroom awake, let alone safely. We were driving for a good half an hour before we were in her street, "sweetheart we are at your house now"

Chars Pov:

I was exhausted and fell asleep in Mia's car, the next thing I know is I'm hearing Mia's voice "sweetheart we are at your house now" To be fair, I wasn't fully awake, but I was able to mumble "can I crash at your place, please?"


Mia's Pov:

"Can I crash at your place, please" char would mumble, "of course you can sweetheart" Although we lived a few doors away from each other, it was still a 5 minute drive, so char fell back asleep, and instead of waking her up I carried her in, she was really light, so it wasn't a struggle, I walked upstairs and put her on my bed, I woke her up by moving her hair, it was the most gentle way I could do it, I whispered to her "sweetheart, do you want to take your makeup off and change?" I left the room whilst she changed and changed in my other bathroom, when she was ready, She fell asleep on my bed, I put the covers on her and I fell asleep on my couch in my bedroom.

THE NEXT MORNING...
