Twenty One

Joey—

I grinned, seeing Charlotte. In a split second, her eyes met mine and she grew her priceless smile.

She didn't even go get her bags. Charlotte ran towards me. She jumped, wrapping her arms around my neck, and her legs around my waist. In attempts of keeping her up, I wrapped my arms around her.

"I missed you so much." She whispered.

"I missed you too, angel." I laughed.

Charlotte pulled back slightly, smiling at me. She giggled, then kissed me. Our kiss was soft and slow, yet still had that punch. Oh, how I missed her kisses.

She pulled back, hugging me tighter and tightening her grip. After a few moments of her silence, she got off me, but her arms stayed around my neck.

"This week felt so long." She whined.

"I know, angel." I murmured, "I love you."

Charlotte smiled and stood up on her toes. She gently pressed her lips to mine once more.

"I love you too," she grinned.

"I hope your family isn't expecting you home for a little while. Are you tired to go on a date?" I winked.

She giggled, "I'm never too tired for you, Joey. I love spending time with you."

Slowly she released me, and I kissed her cheek as I grabbed her hand. I smiled, "Then lets go. Our favorite place is waiting for us. To the bed to get cuddles!"

"Wait," she paused, "One more kiss."

I grinned and faced Charlotte. I gently grabbed her waist and pulled her against me, connecting our lips. Her arms wrapped around my neck, her refusing to pull away.

However, Charlotte did cease the kiss when people began applauding.

"Well, I can cross that off my bucket list," I laughed, "Get a whole airport to applaud for me."

Charlotte laid on top of me, sprawled out and her face nuzzled into my neck. She groaned, once again, trying to get comfortable.

She rolled over, laying next to me, and rested her hand on my chest.

"Why are you uncomfortable? Did you workout over break?" Charlotte whined.

I laughed, "You know my mom."

"I love your mom, stop that." She smiled, "She's so sweet."

"You know," I started, "I think you're the only girl my mom likes that I've dated. My mom freaking adores you. Melissa even asked about you."

"I love your family."

I grinned, looking to her. "I love you."

She giggled, kissing my cheek.

"I love you too, Joseph." She stated, "Why don't you go by Joseph? It's an adorable name."

I shrugged, "I like Joey better. Something my mom has called me since I could remember."

"I know this guy, his name is Joseph. He's super adorable, and really attractive. I've known him for a couple of years now. I love him so much because he's a such a great guy." She giggled, "He's a gentleman, and really talented on the guitar and piano. And his voice is like heaven—"

I smirked, "Angel, you should just stop before you make me jealous."

She laughed, "Now, why would you be jealous of yourself?"

I shrugged, leaning down and quickly kissing her. I whispered, "Is that how you speak about me?"

For a second, I thought her eyes sparkled as she nodded, her gorgeous smile on her lips.

"Of course," she murmured.

"I can't thank God enough for you," I grinned.

I looked up, seeing Kelsey waddle into the guys' office with Caleb behind her. It was amazing how she was still coming and going at nine months pregnant.

"How's little Emmett?" Charlotte asked.

She sighed, taking a seat on the closest couch, next to Charlotte.

"He needs to come already." She mumbled.

Charlotte smiled, laying her hand on Kelsey's belly. "He'll come soon enough. I know it."

"Tell her the story, angel. About Aubrey." I encouraged.

Charlotte laughed and shook her head. "When I was nine, my mom was pregnant with Aubrey. Her due date was inching closer and closer, and it passed. Mom said that I came to her one night, and said 'be patient, she's coming soon. She'll be here in the morning'." Charlotte paused and laughed, "Just about an hour later, she went into labor, and Aubrey was born at 6:32 am."

"That really happened?" Caleb asked, crossing his arms.

Charlotte giggled and nodded, "Yes, it did. Trust me, he'll come soon. You've got two weeks at most."

Kelsey sighed, looking down to her belly. Caleb quickly kissed her forehead before sitting at his desk.

"He better come soon. Him using me as a punching bag isn't fun." Kelsey attempted laugh.

"Psh. I'm just excited to be an uncle." Spencer stated.

Charlotte smiled, and stood up, going to the back of the office. After a few seconds, she came back with three water bottles. She quickly handed one to Kelsey, then to me as she kissed my cheek.

"Emmett is definitely blessed for this family he has, and his two parents. Which will be the best parents I know." Charlotte grinned.

"I don't know about that," Kelsey trailed off.

Caleb laughed, "Thanks, Charlie."
