The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Eddie on the phone, I stirred a little, pulling one of his shirts on, walking out of the room towards where he was, sitting on the sofa beside him. I cuddled up to him and hummed a little as he hung up. "Do we have to go to the set today?" I asked, resting my head on his shoulder. As he shook his head, I grinned a little. "I was..thinking.. Can I take you for a meal, like a date?" He asked, wrapping an arm gently around me. I nodded and kissed his cheek. "Of course you can." I beamed, standing up. "Can you take me back to my mother's house, it's about a ten minute drive from here, so I can get dressed and sort some stuff out?" I asked, looking at him, smiling a little as he nodded, taking my hand. "You look beautiful in that shirt, and you could get some stuff packed to keep at mine." He grinned at me, kissing my nose gently. 

After almost half an hour of laying together, talking and getting ready, we were at my mother's house. "I'll text you when I'm ready." I said, kissing his cheek. I got out of the car, waving him off, then I walked into my mother's house. I was greeted by my mother looking extremely worried, I wrapped an arm around her before walking upstairs. "Can you help me get ready and choose a dress for mine and Eddie's date?" I asked, turning to face her, laughing softly as I heard her groan. "I have a few dresses in mind." I said, skipping to my room, opening my wardrobe. I pulled out a red long sleeved tight-ish dress, a black dress and a pink dress with a white bow. "Which one?" I asked, looking at my mother. I put the black dress and pink dress away and put on the red dress. I turned around and smiled at her. "Is this okay?" I chewed my lip. "Maybe put a blazer or something over it." My mother replied, handing me my black blazer. I put the blazer on and grinned. "This is better." I smiled, picking up my red handbag. "Oh, I need to pack some things to take to Eddie's to keep there permanently." I grinned, laughing a little as my mother rolled her eyes. "Just..throw some random shit in there, like underwear, jogging bottoms, jeans, skirts, tops, dresses, jackets, 'cause I need a pee and I need to do my make up." I said, picking up my make-up bag, running to the bathroom. 

Once I had gone to the toilet, I put my red high heels on, putting my foundation on, followed by my eyeliner, then mascara, then lipstick. I walked into my bedroom, smiling as I noticed my mother had packed some things. I smiled at her, putting my make up bag into the suitcase, zipping it up. I hugged my mother gently. "Can you help me lift my suitcase downstairs?" I asked. I smiled as she lifted it downstairs, following after her. I took my phone out of my handbag and sent Eddie a text. 

EDDIE'S POV

Once I recieved Charlotte's text, I drove to her mother's house a quick as I could. When I arrived there, I knocked on the door, and as the door opened, I was astonished at the sight of Charlotte in front of me. I smiled a little as I noticed a blush form on her cheeks. "You look..wow." I said, smiling a little as her mother appeared. "Hello Mrs. Arch, I'm here to take your daughter out on a date, I'll make sure to respect her and make sure she enjoys herself and if she stays the night I'll make sure that we are both...safe and you will see her on set tomorrow, I can assure you of that." I said, my cheeks reddening as her mother laughed at what I had said. "You don't need to call me Mrs. Arch, just call me Sarah, and I know, I've packed some condoms in her suitcase just in case you haven't got any." She said, nudging Charlotte in the side, causing her cheeks to redden. "Right..I'll..er, get the case." I said, pulling Charlotte's purple floral case out of the house, putting it into my boot carefully, shutting it after it was in securely. I walked back over to Charlotte and took her hand. "Let's go then." I said, before turning to her mother. "Thank you, Sarah." I said, before leading Charlotte to the car, opening the passenger door for her. I shut her door and walked over to my own, getting into the car.

When we arrived at the restaurant, I walked over to the gentleman at the door. "Reservation under the name Redmayne." I said, squeezing Charlotte's hand, grinning a little as she blushed. "Ah, yes follow me." The gentleman said, walking us over to our table. When we reached the table, I pulled Charlotte's chair out for her, taking her blazer off for her, placing it on the back of her chair, sitting down shortly after. I took her hand over the table, before raising an eyebrow as I heard someone call her name.

CHARLOTTE'S POV

When I heard a male call my name, I looked up, slightly alarmed, I raised an eyebrow as I looked on the table beside us,  frowning as I saw Matthew and Alicia. "Fucking hell." I frowned a little, looking at Eddie. I glanced at Matthew and Alicia before sighing a little. "Hi guys." I said, taking a deep breath. "Remember when Charlotte used to have a huge crush on me?" Matthew said, before bursting out laughing. "I thought she still did and was jealous of me." Alicia said, smirking at me, batting her eyelashes innocently at Eddie. I glared at Alicia as I noticed her batting her eyelashes at Eddie. "Fuck off." I said through gritted teeth. "And, for the record, I'm over you, Matthew. I've been over you since we left school. Moron." I snapped, taking a deep breath. I frowned a little as Eddie took his hand away from mine. "Anyway, we've got to go, it was nice seeing you again, and it was lovely meeting you, Eddie." She said, smirking a little,  winking at him, before handing him her number. I frowned. "Well, actually, maybe Eddie doesn't think the same about you, Alicia." I snapped, before looking down at my feet as Eddie put her number in his phone. 

As soon as they left, I put my head in my hands. "They seemed nice." Eddie spoke up, after a few moments of silence. "Nice?! They seemed nice?!" I said, looking at him. "Matthew's an immature dickwad and Alicia's going out with at least three guys now." I said, taking a deep breath. "She seems sweet." He shrugged. "Sweet? She seems sweet?!" I frowned a little, pushing my glasses back up as they fell down. "She does. If anything, you're overreacting." He said, looking at me. I tried to hold in my tears. "You know what, maybe I should just go." I said, standing up. "Can I have a lift back to my mother's house, please?" I asked, putting my blazer on. "Charlotte..no.." He frowned a little, taking my hand. "And maybe, if you're lucky you can catch up with Alicia and finish the date with her." I said, tears threatening to spill out of my eyes. Eddie stood up and wrapped an arm around me. "Let's just have a main course and a desert and then we'll go back to my house. I don't want her, I just want you. I'm sorry." He kissed my forehead and sat down again. I relaxed a little in his arms, sitting back down. "I kinda just want a burger." I mumbled, looking at him. "I apologize in advance for how disgusting I look when I eat burgers." I said, giggling softly. "It's fine, I'm gonna have a burger too so you see how vile I look." He grinned at me.

Once we finished our meal, we were sat in the car, Eddie took my hand and pressed a soft kiss to it, which made my cheeks flush. I smiled as he ruffled my hair and began to drive back to his house. I began to sing along to the radio, grinning as one of my favourite songs came on, giggling softly as Eddie sung along with me, I blushed a little, blowing a kiss playfully at him. When we arrived back at Eddie's I pulled my suitcase from his boot, walking to the front door, unlocking it and walking inside. "I'll unpack and then we'll go to bed?" I asked, looking at him. He nodded and picking the suitcase up, walking up the stairs. I followed him and grinned a little, we walked into his bedroom and I began hanging up my clothes, I turned around and giggled loudly as I noticed he put my knickers on his head. "Oh, Eddie.." I giggled softly, taking the knickers, shoving my underwear into the free drawer. I placed the suitcase up against the wall, picking up one of his shirts, taking my blazer off, followed by my dress, then my underwear. I glared at him as I noticed him watching me. I pulled his shirt on, climbing into bed, grinning as he got into bed shortly after me. I cuddled up to him and kissed him softly. "Thank you for today. I really enjoyed it, minus everything with Alicia and Matthew. You know tomorrow, when we go on set? Can you maybe show me around?" I asked, smiling a little as he nodded sleepily. "Night, Eddie." I said, kissing his cheek. "Night, love." He replied, kissing my forehead, holding me close.
