You Belong With Me

8.

The next morning and Charlie isn't feeling the greatest, luckily she never feels hung over she just said gets a headache which is easily cured with pain killers. As she wakes up she notices she isn't in her room but in Max's, however Max is no where to be seen. Charlie groans as she is in lasts nights clothes, she goes into Max's closet and finds and old t-shirt and replaces her dress. The top goes past her bum so she decided not to wear any bottoms. As Charlie moves around the apartment she notices no ones in, it's a Monday so Anna will be at work and Max and Stoffel will be training. The sofas cushions looked messed up so she guessed that's where Max must've slept last night.

Charlie gets her speaker and hits shuffle on her playlist while making breakfast. Despite having a rough night Charlie doesn't actually feel that bad, she starts dancing along to the music while making breakfast. She turns up her music up so loud that it blocks out everything so it just her and the music. Being alone actually makes her feel content until Max storms through the door slamming it as he goes which disturbs Charlie's dance party. She goes to ask if he's okay but he walks straight past her into the bathroom. She guesses he has gone to shower as he's probably sweaty from working out.

As Max is in shower he can't help but think to himself how cute Charlie looked in his t-shirt dancing around the kitchen not caring about anything. But he remembered he's mad at her for dancing Charles. Max thought long and hard about the situation, he didn't want to stay mad at Charlie but he had to speak to her about everything. Max has to bite his tongue and ask her if she likes Charles. Just as max was leaving the bathroom with just a towel round his waist he bumps into Charlie, "oh shit sorry I was just putting your t-shirt back" Charlie says fully clothed looking down to the ground trying not to look at Max's toned body. "It's okay" Max simply replies.
When max came into the kitchen Charlie was sat on the sofa with her headphones plugged into her laptop, Max heard Charlie's phone ping. He know he shouldn't look as its her phone but he couldn't help himself:

Unknown number
Hey it's Charles from the other night, Pierre gave me your number hope that okay? I was wondering if you wanted to catch up sometime and grab a coffee. X

"Charlie you phone just buzzed" Max said giving Charlie her phone, Max couldn't lie it did make him jealous Charles wanted to go out with Charlie but he tried to act cool about the situation. It didn't happen. "What gives you the right to look at my phone" Charlie says obviously annoyed max looked at her phone. "It pinged and buzzed so I've given you your phone......god" max says rolling his eyes. Once Charlie read the message she instantly started to smile as she remembers meeting Charles and dancing with him and it would be nice to get to know him. "Who was it?" Max asks even though he already knows. "Charles got my number and he's asks if we want to meet up" Charlie says while typing a reply.

Charlie
Yeah sure, sounds great. What about tomorrow at 12? X

Charles
Perfect. See you tomorrow x

Max just tuts as the jealously runs through him. "What's ruffled you up" Charlie asks studying his face. "Nothing I just find it odd that you don't even know Charles and you're suddenly meeting him tomorrow" max says clearly annoyed. "Well Max you see when you want to get to know someone you meet up to get to know them.......god stop being jealous it's only coffee" Charlie says playfully.

"You look nice, who you off to meet" Stoffel asks Charlie, she's dressed in mom ripped jeans with a cropped hoodie and a pair of Ray Bans. "Just off to meet Charles" Charlie simply replies, "oooooo, have fun" Stoffel says winking at her. Charlie just rolls her eyes at how immature he is.

When Charlie arrives at the cafe she sees Charles inside at a table of two, she can see he's already brought her a coffee. "Hey, sorry I don't know what you drank so I just got you a black coffee" Charles says kissing her on the cheek. "That's perfect thank you" Charlie says sitting down. The conversation has a good atmosphere and they have the same humour which is amazing. However Charlie couldn't see her self liking Charles as they're too similar, it would be like dating her brother if she had. Charlie knew her and Charles would be friends and she can't wait to get to know him even more. All of a sudden this gorgeous blonde walks in and Charles tenses up, "you alright." Charlie's asks. "Ummm yeah it's just my ex has walked in and I'm going to be honest I'm not over her and she's not over me" Charles confesses. "So why did you break up?" Charlie's now confused, if you love someone why would you let them go. "Well apparently things weren't working with me moving into Formula One, she said it was 'too stressful'" Charles sounds deflated. "You know what I say, go get her if you love her don't let her slip away and if she loves you she won't let your job get in between you two." Charlie gives a mini speak and smiling with her advice. "Do you mind.....if I talk to her" Charles asks, he doesn't want to leave Charlie but he has to make thing right with Gia (I don't know if this is Charles' girlfriend correct name- sorry if I got it wrong). "It's fine, go ahead. Good luck. Text me what happens." Charlie says "i owe you" Charles says as he goes to sort thing out with his ex.

Charlie makes her way back to the apartment where she can't watch to tell Stoffel and Anna everything.
