The next morning:
Kate's P.O.V
I woke up and I felt Charlie running his fingers through my hair. I slowly opened my eyes and the bright sunlight shone in my eyes. Charlie said,
"Good Morning." He looked happy. I sat up and said,
"Morning Charlie. How are you?"
"I'm fine."
There was silence. Charlie was still playing with my hair. I moved a bit closer to him and said,
"Hey Charlie, why were you crying last night?"
He pulled me in for a hug. He said,
"I was worried about you... I can't loose you."
He kissed my head. I said,
"Can I ask you another question?"
"Yeah. We're best friends, you can ask me any question."
"Why are your hair so puffy?"I said, running my fingers through his hair.
He laughed at that and said,
"Why are you hair so silky?"
We both laughed. Then we went for breakfast. After breakfast we decided to go shopping.
(At the mall)
Charlie's P.O.V
"Where to begin?" I asked kate?
She held my hand firmly and took me to a men's fashion boutique. She said,
"You have a public appearance tomorrow, right?"
"Yes..."
"So, we are going to get you something nice to wear."
"Okay"
Kate picked me a couple of really nice outfits. They were casual but stylish at the same time.it had been years since I came shopping with a girl and felt comfortable. My designer and manager would usually choose what I had to wear.
After we were done shopping for my clothes. Kate asked,
"Where to now?"
I took her hand and led her to a boutique with beautiful and elegant dresses. She said,
"Wait.. no. I don't need a new dress. I have so many."
"I have a public appearance tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, but-"
"You're coming with me right?"
"Charlie."said Kate as she hugged me. I kissed her head. A girl walked up to us. I recognised her, she was my ex,Betty.
I said,
"Betty, we don't need you here."
"Ha, he's gonna use you and dump you, just like he did to me." She pointed to kate.
"Don't talk to her like that!" I said losing my temper, I pulled Kate closer to me and moved a step forward.
Kate's P.O.V
Anger filled Charlie's eyes. His eyes got red. Betty cursed under her breath and walked away. He turned to me. His eyes filled with kindness and love. He held my hand firmly. He picked me a beautiful navy blue dress. It was casual but elegant and beautiful. I was trying on the dress when charlie called from outside,
"Hurry up. I wanna see how the dress looks on you."
"It's a surprise. You'll see it tomorrow."
The dress looked beautiful on me. At the counter, I was about to pay but Charlie stopped me and so, he paid. For lunch, we picked hotdogs from the mall. We had just stepped out when we were attacked by a bunch of reporters, camera men and fans.
There were fans holding "#KARLIE" boards. Charlie held on to me firmly and we pushed our way through the crowd.
(Later that night)
Charlie's P.O.V
Kate was hanging our new clothes in the wardrobe. I asked,
"Can you please show me how you look in the new dress?"
Kate turned around and said,
"Just wait till morning."
"Oh and kate, you said you had alot of dresses. I've never seen one in this wardrobe."
"Ever wondered why the elevator doesn't stop on the 5th and 6th floor. And why the 4th floor has only one door?"
"Yes.." I said confused. What did this have to do with anything?
"The 4th floor is the entrance to my walk in closet, and the 5th and 6th floor all part of it."
"Whoa. That's alot of clothes. Girls..."
Kate and I laughed at that.
(The next morning)
Kate's P.O.V
Charlie and I woke up at 8 am. We had to reach the venue by 11pm. The travel time was 30 minutes. So, we decided to leave the house at 10:00 pm. Charlie was already ready and was waiting for me in the living room. I checked my hair, makeup and outfit in the mirror, one last time before going outside. I looked really nice. I stepped outside. Charlie stared at me with his mouth open. After a few seconds he cleared his throat and sa id,
"You. Uhh, you look..."
"Don't I look good?"
"No. No! You look so beautiful, I can't find the right words."
"Thanks." I blushed. I turned my face the other way. Charlie noticed, he said,
"Hey!!! You are blushing."He giggled and bit his lip. He picked me up and started tickling me. I said between laughs,
"Hey...stop... We're.. going to...get late."
"You're so cute." Said Charlie when he stopped tickling me. I hugged him. We went downstairs and saw Charlie's car. I said,
"Hey, weren't you going to hire a driver."
"Yes, but I didn't feel like it today."
We got in the car and drove off
