Things Change

Meet Up & Movie

"Taylor?" I heard my name, as I slowly woke up.

"Mm?" I mumbled, my eyes remaining closed.

"I gotta go." the voice told me, and I yawned. Stretching, my eyes opened and I found myself looking up at Charlie.

"Hey." he said, smiling.

"Hi." I replied, still half asleep.

I lifted my head from his chest.

"Sorry." I said.

"It's fine, it was comfy." he chuckled, sitting up.

"Does your mum know you stayed the night?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Yeah. I woke after you'd gone to Leondre's to like five texts." he laughed, and I rolled my eyes.

"So are you and Leo good?" he asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah."

"That's good." he said, stretching.

"How long have you been awake?" I asked.

"About half an hour."

"Were you watching me sleep?"

"...maybe"

"Charlie!"

"Sorry! You just look so peaceful." he admitted.

"Lenehan." I muttered, and he laughed.

"Anyway, I've got to go. We got a meet up in a couple of hours." he said, standing up.

I followed him downstairs so I could get breakfast.

"Do you want anything to eat?" I asked.

"Nah, I'm fine..." he replied, but hesitated.

"Yeah you do." I smirked.

"Fine, what are you having?" he asked.

"Whatever. I was thinking of doing pancakes..." I started.

"Ooh." Charlie squealed like a child, sitting at the table. I laughed and got out the ingredients to make the mix. Halfway through, Charlie joined in with whisking and splattered it everywhere.

"You're cleaning this up." I told him, pouring the mix into a pan. There was a knock at the door.

"Watch the pancakes." I ordered, running to the door. I opened it up, and Leondre stood there.

"Is Charlie here?" he asked.

"Yep." I replied, letting him in.

"What's that?" he asked, gesturing towards my face. I quickly wiped it.

"Pancake mix. Charlie isn't very good at mixing." I grinned, and he chuckled.

"Want some?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Only if I can have nutella on it." I rolled my eyes and led him into the kitchen.

"You're here early." Leo said to Charlie.

"I slept here, that's why." Charlie laughed, and Leo glanced at me. Something flashed in his eye...jealousy, maybe?

"Anyway, I think they're done." I said, taking the newly made pancakes and laying them on a plate. I made a few more and we all tucked in. Nutella seemed to be a popular topping.

"I think we should get going." Leo said when he finished his pancakes.

"Alright, have fun." I said, putting the dishes in the sink.
