Best Friends

Chapter 8: 'Please?'

Charlotte's POV

"Are you sure?" I asked Michael for the hundredth time.

"Yes Char, what do you not want to go on another date with me or something?" Michael asked.

"No, of course I do, you've just been so busy babysitting lately," I explained.

"Well I'm completely free Saturday so what do you say I come over for a movie night?" Michael suggested.

"I don't know...I'd have to ask my mom," I said.

"Please?" Michael begged.

"Okay okay, I'll ask her when I get home," I gave in.

"Yay!"

"You're such a child!" I groaned.

"Mom?" I asked.

"Yes sweetie?" She asked looking up at me.

"I was wondering if I could go to Michael's house tonight?" I asked, nervously playing with my fingers.

"Of course, his parents will be there right?" My mom asked.

"Yup."

"Then yes, you can go, Sam can even take you if you want," my mom suggested.

"Thanks mom!" I grinned kissing her cheek before running upstairs to find Sam.

"Sam can you drive me to Michael's?" I asked.

"Sure, let's go."

Michael's POV

"Please?" I begged Luke.

"Mate, I can't watch Lea for you," Luke said.

"Just this once, please, Jules and I agreed I'd get Lea on Friday and Saturday but I really need to have this movie night with Char," I explained.

"Fine, but make sure you take Char home so you can pick Lea up," Luke said.

"Will do, thanks mate," I grinned handing Luke Lea and her stuff.

"Have fun with Char," Luke mumbled shutting the door.

"Michael?" A voice behind me asked

"Char! Hey," I said trying to play it cool.

"What are you doing here?" Char asked. "I was about to come to your house."

"I came to um...pick you up!" I lied smoothly. I think I formed a bad habit of lying.

"Oh really?" Char asked, confusion clear on her face. "You didn't have to."

"I wanted to, now c'mon let's go," I said opening the passenger door for her.

"Okay, let me tell Sam," Char said.

"Tell me what?" Sam asked coming outside.

"That Michael came to get me," Char said, confusion still laced in her voice.

"Oh, well then have fun Char, I'll see you later," Sam nodded. "Take care of her Michael."

"I will," I said before getting inside my car.

"So what made you want to pick me up?" Char questioned as I drove back to my house.

"Nothing, I just really wanted to see you," I half-lied.

"Aw Michael," Char cooed.

"You never told me the reason behind your choice of the movie," Char said looking up at after the movie was over.

"I just liked it and thought you would too," I said. "Did you?"

"Yes I did, but I didn't expect you to want to watch Toy Story," I said smirking.

"Is there something wrong with wanting to watch it?" Michael asked.

"No, I just thought maybe you'd want to watch a horror movie," I shrugged.

"I decided against it," Michael said. "For your sake."

"Well next time we can watch a horror film and see who's the scaredy cat out of us," Char challenged.

"Deal," I smirked.

"You should've thought that through," Char said, a grin forming on her lips.

"And why is that?" I questioned.

"Well I've seen a lot of horror films in my time," Char said.

"With whom, shall I ask, did you watch them with?" I asked.

"With Luke, why?"

"No reason."

"Do you not like when Luke and I hang out?"

"No no it's not that, I just wanted to know with who," I shrugged. I leaned closer to Charlotte and softly pressed my lips against hers.

"You should probably take me home now," Char whispered, keepin her forehead pressed against mine. "My mom will get mad if I stay out too late.

"Bye Char," I smiled. I started to lean forward to kiss her but before I could, Charlotte's mom opened the door.

"Charlotte, Sam and I have to tell you something," her mother said. Char nodded at her mom then turned to me.

"Bye Michael," Char waved at me before kissing me on the cheek and running inside.
