The Calling [On Hold]

14. Miami Baby

Being here with Charlie is amazing.

We ended up staying the entire week. He visited some old friends in his old neighborhood. We'll be leaving tonight though.

"Yo keep in touch. Cdog. Nice to meet you girl." The dude I think Charlie said his name was ace. He was pretty cool. Talked about stories of Charlie when he was young. Talked about awesome things he plan to do with life to leave New York. And Charlie offered his service whenever he was ready. As did I.

"I still can't believe you were in a gang and your name was Cdog." I laughed hard as Charlie got in the car after me, he smiled mocking my laugh.

"Yeah I know. No one knows about that. Plus it wasn't a gang. More like a clique or little group for kids." He said driving down the street. I sighed smiling.

"And it was easy to get into then?" I pushed, he stopped talking for a minute then smirked at me.

"Okay so it was a gang. But we didn't do illegal things. Just bully and...well not huge illegal things." He said, I bust out laughing. He just shook his head.

Today out outfit matched. I wore a white flowy skirt, thin black "I Am Female, Hear Me roar" (white letters) denim (tied on the sides) crop and black vans. He wore black vans, white t-shirt and black denim jeans.
I did little makeup and curled my hair putting half of it in a crown-like ponytail.

We were now in Miami, where I used to live. I missed it out here. It was still as beautiful as I had left it.

"Wanna go straight to the hotel or do you wanna stop h-" Charlie started but I saw an amazing old ice cream shop I used to absolutely love.

"Oh my freaking gosh! The Frieze Ice Cream Factory!" I jumped out the car, Charlie cut off the engine and ran after me locking the car behind us.

"Ha I'm assuming you want to go in?" Charlie teased, I scoffed and grabbed his hand nearly rushing in from excitement. Eyes were on me. Us. Mainly because I barged in like a lunatic.

"Sorry," I said and spotted the girl at the cash register. I remembered her. Of course I did. I only left Miami for almost a month now.

"She caaaaame baaaaack!" The girl said running around the small double doors and hugged me. I smiled hugging her.

"Tasha, omg hi!" I giggled, he moved away and grabbed, y shoulder.

"Damn girl. In only a month you look taller and impossibly prettier." She smiled, she was like my older sister. She's 18 and we've been working at this ice cream shop since I first moved her at 9.

"And who's this handsome young man?" She shook his hand, he smiled and thanked her.

"My boyfriend Charlie Davis. Babe, my cousin, sister, best friend, whatever. Tasha Frieze. Mr. Philip Frieze's daughter." I smiled.

"Nice to meet you." She smiled.

"Pleaseure." He spoke kindly wrapping his arm around me.

"Papa! Papa, ven aqui papa!" She spoke so fluently. I was the one that taught her Spanish.

"Omg Tasha you've gotten better!" I smiled, she placed her bands on one another and smiled so wide her dimples showed.

"Mucho gracias. All thanks to you though Cloée." She said as I see an older Italian guy run out. He seemed a bit fatter and his facial hair grew more. He spotted me.

"You know Spanish?" Charlie smiled at me, I winked.

"Mmm eso es muy sexy. ¿Podria mostrarme más tarde?" (Mmm that's very sexy. Will you show me later?) He spoke so fluently and finished with a smile I've never seen before. I shivered. He couldn't stop surprising me of how gorgeous he is even if his life depended on it.
Before I had time to respond Philip and his wife Jane came out to greet me.
