Listening to 'I warned myself' on repeat. I'm beginning to see a pattern.
<><><><>
You had been warned from everyone that no good would come from being with Charlie. And on the inside you knew but you hoped it would be different. Your hope died fairly quick.
You walked in on Charlie and a some female you watched as she scurried out the room and he slapped her invisible ass. You scoffed. And he looked at you.
You chuckled softly.
"It doesn't even hurt. I warned myself. How ironic."
You whispered almost indistinctly.
He walked towards you, luring you back into his game of lies and deceit.
You backed away knowing if he got close you would keep playing.
"I'm not gonna be your pawn anymore I'm gone."
You turned around leaving knowing you would be back for your stuff at a later date.
3 WEEKS AFTER THE 'INCIDENT '
You had been back in your own house and the paps were hounding you as to why you haven't been to Charlie's or something along those lines.
You were relaxing on your day off when you heard the door bell.
You rushed down the stairs to open the door to see a rough looking charlie.
"What?"
I asked ready to slam the door in his face.
"My grandma died."
You deeply cared for his grandmother when you had met her. So, it's kind of upsetting news for you too.
You pulled him inside. You walked in the kitchen and started cooking. Anything at this point.
"Why did you come here?"
You asked with your back to him.
"I didn't know where else to go."
He said quietly.
"You have tons of females on your dick ready to take away your 'pain'."
You said pulling out some cheese.
He stayed quiet. You didn't know if he was pondering on what you said or something else.
You slid the casserole in the oven finally facing him and he had his head in his arms leaning on the counter. You walked over to him. And patted his back. You heard shuffling on the stairs and the person made it to the kitchen.
"Whatever your cooking smells good."
Shawn said smiling.
Charlie sat up and looked Shawn Mendes standing there with no shirt on.
You walked away from Charlie.
"Go, put a shirt on no one wants to see your nips."
You said turning back to the stove.
He slapped your butt and ran up the stairs.
"You and him?"
Charlie asked.
"No, I'm not looking for a relationship anymore. Something about my last relationship made me not want one."
You said and Charlie shifted. Shawn came back and wrapped his arms around you. You pinched his arm.
"No touchy."
You said.
"But you weren't saying that,"
You covered his mouth before he finished his sentence and his eyes flashed with mischief. He knew Charlie was your ex. And he liked you but you were denying him because of Charlie and he knew that.
You gave Shawn a look that said 'no' and the mischief left his eyes. The stove beeped signaling the timer stopped you pulled the casserole out and sat it on the stove.
"Don't touch the food."
You said to Shawn and he raised his hands defensively.
You looked at Charlie and you gesture towards the living room. He followed you out the kitchen and Shawn looked on.
Charlie looked back at him and smirked.
You turned around and faced Charlie with some distance.
"Why don't you fly home and be with your family?"
You suggested.
"Yeah, I probably will. Thanks for letting me in after everything you went through."
He said.
"I loved your grandma, too. So it's the least I can do."
You said.
He walked towards you and hugged you. Your heart was beat out your chest. You returned the hug. You pulled away quickly before you gave into him.
"Text me or call. If you need me. Let me know when the funeral is and I'll come support you."
You said.
He nodded.
"You should give Shawn a chance. He's a good guy. He won't do what I did."
With that Charlie left.
You shut the door and turned around to be face to chest with Shawn.
"He's right. I would never hurt you."
He said bring his hand to your cheek. Your heart wavered. After knowing him for years and spending so much time with him these past few weeks. You could help but fall for him.
You placed your hand on his.
"Promise?"
"With my life."
He said placing his lips on yours. Your heart was beating outside your chest. He pulled away smiling. You being the awkward person you are you said something stupid.
"Im Bob the builder."
He laughed grabbing your hand.
"Let's go eat, Bob."
