Next week/Friday

Nicks pov:

"Charlie are you absolutely sure you want to do this? Remember we don't have to." I look at him once again before grabbing my phone and tucking it into my pocket.

He looks away from the mirror and his hands fall down to his side. He's wearing a red-blue dress top with black skinny jeans. God I wish he didn't look this good. I think I really like him. But how do I tell someone I've really known for a week that I like them?

He'll probably think I'm some weird psycho.

"Yes-I'm okay. Unless you don't want to go?" I honestly really want to go.. I want to make Tristen jealous but I also want an excuse to hold Charlie's hand.

"Of course. I'm good to go." I smile at him as I open the front door. Fresh air hits my face as he comes out the apartment.

I wait outside as he pets lady as he always does before he leaves, he crouched giving her a kiss before standing up and smiling. I smile back at him warmly before closing the door.

I can hear the beat of the music playing and feel the vibrations under my feet. I start to go inside but turn around and see Charlie frozen in place.

"Char? Are you alright?"

"Yeah just I haven't seen him since the store. Kind of scared haha." He looks down to his hands and starts to play with them. I contemplate to grab his hand and decide to do so. They are so soft and delicate. He looks up at me confused, I give him a cheeky grin and wink at him before heading inside.

While entering I get hit with the strong smell of booze.

"Should we go find the gang?" He says while squeezing my hand slightly, I look at him and nod.

We look around the house, trying to find them. "Charlie!!" I hear behind us, Elle appears and everybody else follows behind her. They all give us a group hug before leading us to the kitchen for drinks.

"Hey. I thought I said you guys had to be lovey dovey.." Darcy says whining. I chuckle and look at Charlie.

"How? Like this?" I say mockingly before pulling in Charlie for a side hug and blow fake kisses to him. Everybody laughs and I look back to Charlie and find him stunned.

"Oh god I'm so sorry." I immediately say and attempt to lift my hand off of his shoulders. His hand rises up quickly and keeps mine in place. I look at him confused and he just smiles.

Holy shit. Does he like me back? Is he flirting with me?

"Ben's looking at us" oh okay. I really thought he liked me. What am I doing? He definitely doesn't. He just broke up with Ben. I nod at him-disappointed.

"Here ya go" Tao hands us both drinks, I take a sip and immediately cough.

"What's inside this??"

"Uh some random stuff- yk, vodka,wine, beer.." I look and him and begin to laugh, he smiles and snorts before looking to Elle and hugging her.

"Perfect. You guys look very coupley" Darcy looks at us and says it proudly. I smile at her and turn around to see Charlie already staring at me.

"GUYS LETS DANCEEE" everybody runs to the living room- where all the lights and speakers are. I get my arm off Charlie and put my hand to him facing up. I tilt my head as he grabs it and I smile. I pull him with me-following everybody else.

I haven't seen Tristen today, I thought he would be at the party. After Charlie told us he saw Ben, we haven't seen him at all after. Even on the dance floor he was no where to be seen-which I'm not complaining about.
