Arrange Marriage

Part 1

Charlie Pov: I'm sitting in my apartment on the couch. Thinking about to write next. I'm Charlotte Green but I perfer the name Charlie. My dad is one of the top writer's in America. Now you're probably wondering, Charlie why are you following in your dad's footsteps? Well I'll tell you this was always my dream. I always wanted to be a writer. To tell a story. My dad always say I tell the best stories he has ever heard. So now here I am, sitting thinking of my next book. Anyways enough about me let's go to the part where I meet the girl my dad has set me up with.

(Next day at Starbucks)

(Still Charlie's Pov)

I'm sitting in a booth waiting for my dad and his business partner. I have no idea who it is but I came for my dad. Otherwise I would be at my apartment and be writing more for my book. Anyways I see this girl, she look gorgorous but I could tell. She's not gay. I mean you can telll. By the way she walks and the way she is dressed. Not screaming gay. Anyway's here comes my dad.

(No One's Pov)

"Charlotte my sweet baby girl" John hugs his daughter. "Hi dad, you know it's Charlie not Charlotte" I said to him. "Well I named you Charlotte for a reason. Now I'm going to call you that name, as many times as I want" John said. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" She said back. "Alright fine, I will call you Charlie. It's also a great name" he said. "So who are these people we are meeting?" she asked. "Oh.......well I think I see my partner over there. Wait right here" He goes over to the girl she thought was hot and the man next to her. John comes back over with the girl and the man "Charlie this is Mike Cimorelli and his daughter Lauren" John said.

(Charlie Pov)

"Hi I'm Charlotte but I perfer the name Charlie" I said and shake both their hands.

(Lauren's Pov)

"Hi I'm Charlotte but I perfer the name Charlie" the hot girl said. Now you may be wondering aren't I really Catholic? Well yes I am but my parents and siblings all accept me. I wouldn't say I'm full gay but I am definitely not straight. I know that for sure. I might be Bisexual. I don't know for sure. Maybe, maybe not. Anyways she's looking at me I should probably say something. "Hi I'm Lauren" I shake her hand. "What do you do Lauren?" Charlie asked. "I'm a singer with my sisters. How about you?"

(Charlie's Pov)

"I'm a singer with my sisters. How about you?" Lauren asks me. "Well, I'm a writer. I write stories"

(No One's Pov)

"That's so cool! What's your favorite story?" Lauren ask Charlie. "Um......I don't know probably my romance stories. The sad ones are kind of depressing" Charlie said to Lauren. "Well will I ever get to read one of the sad ones?" Lauren asked. "Maybe in a million years" Charlie said. "Why not now?" Lauren asked. "Well probably because I don't know you that well" Charlie said. "What do you want to know. I'm an open book" Lauren said. "Nothing.............at least not yet" Charlie said. "Why not?" Lauren asked. "I want to know you on my terms not my dad or your dad" Charlie said. "Ok fine. So wanna hang out tomorrow?" Lauren asked. "Are you asking me out Lauren?" Charlie asks and smiles. "Maybe I am or maybe I'm not" Lauren said while smiling. John and Mike come over. "So. Any progress?" John asked. "Kind of" Lauren said.

(Lauren's Pov)

"Kind of" I said. "What do you mean kind of?" my dad said. "We started talking, I'm a little closed off so it's hard to let people in." Charlie said. "That is true, I'm sorry about her" John said. I just look at Charlie with I don't know what. I don't think it's love because I don't know her. Her lips look so good. Lauren knock it off. You don't know her. But she's so hot. Ahhh Lauren get thoughts out of my head. "Lauren are you ok?" my dad asks. "I um..........." I tried to come up with something but nothing came up. "Hey Lauren wanna go somewhere with me?" Charlie asked me. "Sure"

(No One's Pov)

They go to Cold Stone which is around the corner.

(Charlie's Pov)

I bring Lauren to Cold Stone. I have no idea if she likes it there but I thought it would be a good place to talk. I also really want some ice cream. "Do you like Cold Stone?" I asked Lauren. "Yeah it's great. I love ice cream" Lauren said. "Ok great. Well I think our dads will be talking for awhile so why not we talk. I'll try to open up" I said to her. "You don't have to right away. I mean we just met" Lauren said. "Yeah but I can feel you are going to be in my life for awhile so might as well" I said to her. "How can I help you guys?" The person behind the counter said. "Lauren wanna start?" I asked like the gentlewoman I am. "Yeah can I get a French vanilla with Reese's peanut butter cup?" Lauren asked. "What size?" The person asked. "A medium" Lauren said. "Alright and what about you hot stuff?" The guy asked me. "Can I get the same. And don't call me hot stuff" I said. "Why not hot stuff" I reach other and slap him hard. "I would like another person" I said. He goes back and holds his cheek. Out comes another person this time a girl. "Hi I'm sorry about Ryan. Is there anything else I can get you guys?" The girl asked. "Just the two French vanilla ice cream with Reese's peanut butter cup medium size" I say to the girl who looks cute but Lauren is hotter. Ok Charlie don't think about how hot Lauren is. She might not even be gay. So get it out of your head. After the girl makes both ice creams, they go and sit down at a table.

(Lauren's Pov)

"So what do you want to know?" Charlie asked. "How far can I go?" I ask. "Let's start our small first. Somethings you will find out will be disturbing" Charlie said to me. "I'm sure whatever you are going to tell me what make me change my mind about you" I said to her. "Alright well let's fine out" She said. "Ok I'll start easy. What's your favorite color?" I asked Charlie. "I would definitely say red. That's always been my favorite color. J
