Undercover

" 'Cause I Got You "

"Charlotte ! It's been a long time since we've seen you. Are you staying ?" Siren asks me as soon as Henry and I get inside.

"Hey Mrs. Hart. I actually won't," her face instantly drops and I look at Henry, he looks confused too so we nod that we'll find out what's wrong," but I can go call my mom and ask her right now if I can. It's still daylight so if anything Henry can take me home and get me clothes for a few days." I rush out and she instantly brightens up.

"Mom is everything okay ?" Henry asks and Siren looks around then waves us over into the kitchen. We follow and stand around the island.

"Your dad and I may or may not have to go help my mom. She's supposed to get surgery this weekend and I was set to go but the doctor's want there to be a nurse present in case anything happens with Piper again. I don't have the money for that and to go on the trip." Siren spews out and it's like she immediately seems older than she actually is. Her stress lines on her forehead stick out more and the bags under her eyes look more severe.

"I'll stay over. I'm not a nurse but I did take a few basic care classes for LIMP and I got certified in that stuff. The only thing is that I'm not working under a nurse so it'd be a little risque for me to say I was." I explain.

"That's fine. I can tell them that you're here and they can check your credentials and even give you this as a permanent position under them. That is, if you want to be assigned to Piper. It's only for when we go out of town." Siren says hopefully. How can I say no ?

"Of course, that's fine. I look out for her anyways, why not make it official ?" I say and Siren sighs out of relief.

"Thank you, thank you. Henry, I better hear you saying girlfriend when I get back." She says and walks out lauging, leaving Henry shocked and blushing. I'm lost.

"Was that an inside joke ? What does that mean ? " I ask and Henry sighs. He facepalms and rubs the back of his neck afterwards.

"When you first started coming over I'd always say 'My friend Charlotte is coming over'. Do you get it now?" Henry asks. I lie and nod my head.

"Sure." I say and he just looks at me.

"She wants me to date you." He says.

"But then why would she say - ohhhh" I say as the realization hits me. I feel a little stupid.

"Yeah now come on, we've got to talk." He says and grabs my hand. I smile and he takes me to his room. Wow, he's taking me to his room and it's not to talk about something else, it's to talk about us. I'm his girl problem now.

We get upstairs and I walk straight in his room. I seat myself on the little staircase while I wait for Henry to get back. These stairs hold some pretty weird memories now. This whole room does. Oh my goodness, mind out of the gutter Charlotte.

"Okay," Henry starts as he comes in and closes the door behind him ," We should be uninterrupted and that window is locked so no running away." He says and I roll my eyes.

"Charlotte." He says and I wave.

"That's me. How you doin'?" I say and he just smirks. "Don't say it, whatever you just thought of don't say it!"

"It wasn't even that bad." Henry says and I shake my head.

"Lies! Anyways, what do we even talk about ?" I ask him.

"You're so gorgeous. I dont think I've ever not thought that. You really know how to make me happy just by saying my name. I don't know what I'd do if we never became friends. But I don't want to be friends no more. I want to be the guy you can't ever seem to stop talking about. I want to be the guy that'll give you one look and you have to excuse yourself to change your underwear. I want to be the guy who makes you so mad that you'll wanna kill me but then realize how much you love me and want to kill me even more. I want to be with you and I want to be the guy who will do everything in his power to keep his babygirl content with life." Henry says and I just sit in shock.
