Reece's POV
I smile a bit and throw my head back as I take a deep glance at Charlie, who is now smiling at me from the other side of the recording studio.
"Reece!" He shyly says as he walks across the room. I hear my pulse rise to that of someone who should be doing a slow jog and I start to blush. Just like I did earlier when he was singing and his voice cracked all while he look at me.
"Sorry ba...... Charlie." I quickly correct myself in hope that he doesn't realise I was about to say babe. He smiles and brushes his fingers through my hair ever so gently. Just as a perfectly placed smile plays on my face, I look up at him as he is slightly taller then me.
A pit of butterfly's abruptly erupt into the depth of my stomach, then the smile I had already plastered across my face became an ear to ear smile. It is not that I am gay. Its just...umm...well...umm... I am Charlie-sexual, I guess that is what you could say.
As my mouth opens, I look away from Charlie but as I did so I caught Charlie looking at me and then look away before our eyes could meet.
Gosh I hated this. I knew he was homophobic, however at the same time I couldn't help but feel as if he liked me too.
"That is good for today boys." I nodded and took my head set off and as we all left the booth I ended up behind Charlie and so I bit my lip.
"You alright Reece?" I hear from what feel like right on top of me but in reality it is just James who is to the right of me at arms length.
"Yeah." I say and he nods and walks off.
I take a quick look at Charlie who's eyes are looking me up and down all while he has an intense look upon his face, just like he is thinking or someone or something. His eyes widen as he catches me glancing at him. He blushes and I smile all because him blushing makes me feel this wired mushiness inside just like a popsicle melting on a warm summers day.

"Reece!" Charlie wines as I take the bowl of pop corn we shared with Jake and James from his grasp. I smile cheekily as I look at him and his sad puppy dog eyes.
"Awe come on you big baby let me have some." I say as I take a handful and pass it swiftly back to him. He brings the bowl into his thick muscular arms in a hugging style, as he does that I glade jealously at the bowl. What? What is wrong with? Why am I jealous of a bowl? I think I have officially lost it.
"Charlie, bowl." James asks and Charlie then sighs and hands him the bowl over to Jake and James. Now Charlie wraps his muscular arms around himself.
"Awe what's wrong?" I ask with a sense of amusement in my voice. He pouts and crosses his arms.
"Me cold now, James took the popcorn." He whispers as I chuckle and shake my head.
"Well you can snuggle with me." His face lights up as I slither into his grasp. He's arms wrap around my waist like vines, I feel my pulse rise.
I have to control my breathing, I think to myself.
Have you ever liked look at your crush and they look at you, then they say something that just makes you gush? Yeah well multiple that feeling by at least a thousand.
I was completely convinced everyone could hear my heart beat.
Then Charlie places his face into the crook of my neck. I try to stay calm at the feel of his warm breath on the bare skin of my neck, but I fail. He smile lightly and mumbles and outstanding apology into my neck. I try to hold back a moan and to my surprise I am able to do so.
"Hmmm." He mumbles as I didn't catch what his apology was about.
"What was that Charlie?" I ask him as he lifts his head now his warm breath fans my neck and cheek before finally reaching my ear. My pulse jolts again, now I'm going to have to learn to control that.
"Your heart rate is up." He says in a worried tone. I just nod and gulp as I look away from him.
"What's wrong?" He asks with genuine concern written across his face. I just chuckle.
"Nothing." I finally said in a whispered tone. This time he chuckles while his arm wrap back around my waist and his hands tighten in front of my belly button, so I just suck in a breath.
"Liar! Your heart rate only goes up when you are nervous or doing exercises. So do I make you nervous?" He jokes and I laugh so I don't have to reply and tell him in actual fact that he does make me nervous.
"No I am just excited about the video." I say so confidently even though I am lying to my best mate and he just chuckles.
"Me too Cece, me too." I laugh at the cute little nickname and snuggle back into him, before feeling my eyes starting to drop off. I look up at Charlie who eyes are glued to the screen.
"I think I am going to fall asleep." I whisper as I blink twenty times a second just to stop myself from falling asleep and he just smiles.
"It is okay. I will carry you to our room if you do." He winks. Me and Charlie share a room. While Jake, James,tom,Chris, Barclay and Casey all gave their own room
I nod with a small smiles but soon it drops off as I realise I don't even have the energy to smile. I snuggle closer to Charlie if that is even possible. He lets out a small puff of air and tightens his grip. This makes me smile.
