CHAPTER 4

CHARLOTTES POV

Saturday morning I woke up at 12:00. I had 3 messages from Hayes.

Hayes: hey want to hang out today?

Hayes: text me

Hayes: Charlotte I know your sleeping wakeee uppp and answer your phoneeee

I laughed at the last one. They were sent about 30 minutes ago. I texted him back.

Charlotte: ok you were right I was sleeping but what would we be doing today?

Hayes: we could go to town?

Charlotte: sure! what time?

Hayes: I'll pick you up like at 4?

Charlotte: perfect!

Hayes: ok see you later babe xx

Babe? He called me babe. And put an x.

I just remembered I had fall lacrosse try outs today. I hopped out of bed and changed into a green t shirt and nike under armor shorts. I put my hair in a pony tail and slipped on my nike free runs.

The field was right by school so I didn't need to be driven by a car. I saw there was a few girls there, including Rachael. There were a few girls form school but not many. When everyone arrived we started with 2 laps around the field (groan). We did our stretches and now it was time to actually try out.

We went though a bunch of drills and finally it was over at 2:30.

"Ok so I'll send you guys an email whether you made the team! They should be sent by tonight!" The coach said and everyone cleared out of the field.

I went back home and took a shower. I decided on jean shorts, a black tank top, and white converse. I straightened my hair and put on mascara and lined my eyes with black eyeliner.

Today I feel like making an impression. I just like him I guess; and that's probably why. Also I didn't really feel like dressing too much up because we were only going to town not a five star restaurant. I wanted to look casual, plus it was still like 80 degrees out.

I sat on my bed and watched some Netflix (gossip girl season 5) and checked twitter and instagram. Soon the door bell wrung and I rushed downstairs to see him dressed just as casual as me.

HAYES POV

I was somewhat nervous. I wanted her to know I like her but not think I was obsessed with her. She was nothing like Audrey which I liked because whenever we hang out I don't think of Audrey.

She opened the door and hugged me. "Hey" she said. She smelled really good.

"Hi" I said back and we walked outside. I grabbed her hand. "Is this ok?" I asked.

She looked at me and smiled. "yep". Good. I don't want to like rush into things and then have an embarrassing/awkward moment between us like last time I tried to kiss her.

I was going to take her to Starbucks because what girl doesn't like Starbucks?

"Yayy I love Starbucks!" She said as we approached it. See. No girl can hate Starbucks. Even though I've taken her to Starbucks a few times already, she always says that when we walk here.

We went inside and ordered drinks. Then we took a table by the window and basically played on our phones.

"So did you make the lacrosse team?" I asked trying to start a conversation.
"I didn't hear back I'm supposed to tonight though" she said.
"What position do you play?" I asked her.
"Midfield" she said. That's the position where you play the whole field. Impressive.

We continued to talk. She was really easy to talk to. She tells me about New York and how she hates the girls there. She's pretty dramatic, in a funny way. It's cute.

When we were finished she spotted the ice cream store. "Hayes c'mon let's go get ice cream" she begged making a pouty face.

"ok let's go" I said and we walked out of Starbucks and made our way over to the ice cream store.

We ordered and when we were walking out, I stuffed my face in her cone while she wasn't looking. She has a good taste in flavors because whatever she ordered was really good.

Little did I know that it got all over my face.

"Oh my god!" She said and started laughing. She laughs like a little kid and it's the cutest thing! She took out her phone and took a picture.

"Hayes new look" she said still laughing. I grabbed a napkin and started to wipe it off.
"Hayes it's everywhere!" She said grabbing another napkin. "Here I'll clean it before you make a bigger mess than you already have" she said and we both laughed.

Her one hand was on my cheek while the other had the napkin and she began to clean up my other cheek chin and mouth. I got some under my eyes and she used her finger. Her hands were so soft and gentle.

After it was done she held my face in her hands and then moved them down to my shoulders, and did the least expected thing. She kissed my cheek.

"Your cheek still tastes like ice cream" she said and laughed. I laughed too.

We sat down for a while and ate our ice cream. When we were done we decided to go to my house.

"C'mon you up for lacrosse?" He asked.
"Sure!" She said excited.

When we got to my house I handed her Nash's old lacrosse stick, took mine out, and got a ball.

I through the ball, and she caught it. She through it back.

"Let's do something fun" she said smirking
"I thought lacrosse was fun" I said laughing
"Let's do.... 1 v 1" she said smiling
"Ok let's go but be ready to loose" I said
"We'll see about that" she said and got the ball.

"Ladies first" she said. We decided where the goals would be, and she started cradling the ball. She was walking at first. How does she play midfield if she walks?

Just then she sprints around me and shoots. That's how.

We continue until it's 4-5 me. I knew I would win. But she's pretty good.

"Ok I'm done I'm taking a break" she said and held up her stick.

I laughed at her and she sat down. "Wanna play a game?" I asked.
"Sure" she said panting.

"Ok so if you catch this ball, you dare me something. If you miss I dare you" I said mischievously.
"Your on" she said and went it the other side of the backyard.

I through it. She missed it by an inch. "Ok what's your dumb dare?" She asked coming over to me.

"Kiss me"
