THE NEXT DAY
cherry heard a knock on her door and checked her outfit one last time. she grabbed her mask and fixed her hair before opening the door. timothèe smiled at her, and cherry beamed. she took notice of his outfit, "hey!" she said brightly, trying not to let her nerves get the best of her. she reminded herself that it wasn't a date. "hi you look great." timothèe commented as she shut her door, making sure to lock it. "so do you" she smiled as they walked out of her apartment building. "it's at madison square garden right?" she asked as they began the walk. "yeah" he said as he pulled his mask up. cherry did the same thing, walking close by his side. "so how are you?" he asked, picking up his pace. "i'm good, nervous about this election" she started and timothèe nodded fast. "me too, man i hope he gets voted out" he sounded nervous, "me too" cherry said and timothèe looked up at her.
"is this your first time voting?" he asked and cherry nodded. politics were never a huge thing in her life till this year, "yeah" she said. she turned the corner, seeing the huge line formed already. "oh wow" he said as they quickly got their spots. awkward silence filled the air. cherry rocked on her heals, "so you know zendaya from filming dune right?" she asked, trying to make small conversation. "yeah! she's great" he said and cherry agreed. the two began to converse about random stuff after that. the conversation flowed easily as they broke the ice. they talked about filming and upcoming projects. the only time they got interrupted was when timothèe mentioned going live with selena gomez.
cherry let him talk to her, she felt her nerves spike. she hated instagram live, "wanna see who my line buddy is?" timothèe said and cherry widened her eyes. timothèe pointed the camera at her. she waved awkwardly and selena laughed, "cherry hi! i haven't talked to you in forever!" selena smiled and cherry moved closer to the camera. "hi i miss you" cherry said sweetly, selena began asking her questions and the two talked for a few minutes. she returned the camera back to timothèe, "the service is getting bad" timothèe said and selena said her goodbye. "say bye you guys" she laughed at how awkward timothèe and charlotte were. "bye guys, go vote!" cherry said with a wave.
timothèe said an awkward goodbye and shut his phone off. the two resumed their conversation quickly. they stayed in line and the two voted. everything seemed perfect for charlotte. she thought it was too perfect but pushed those feelings away. she waited for him at the exit and once he joined her they stepped out of the building. they only walked a few steps before fans approached them. cherry greeted them with a smile, even though her mask covered it. she kindly took pictures and sighed autographs. timothèe flooded away from her slowly as well.
she took her last picture and searched for him in the crowd that formed. timothèe waved her over and she joined his side. they took a few more pictures and videos. time seemed to go by fast and after they got away, it was dinner time. she walked close by him as he took her home. "sorry we couldn't eat a late lunch" he said and cherry shook her head. "it's no problem.. i was wondering if you just wanted to order something to my apartment and stay for dinner?" she asked, nervous that he would say no. he perked up, "that sounds great." he held the door open for her and she stepped past him. cherry just wanted more time with him, she was thankful he said yes.
they entered her clean apartment, she quickly took off her shoes. "make yourself at home" she smiled as she sat on the couch. her feet hurt from all the walking they did. timothèe slipped his shoes off next to hers and joined her on the couch. they agreed on something to eat and cherry ordered it. "says about 35 minutes till it's here" she said and timothèe nodded. cherry scrolled through her phone and smiled at a picture. "what?" he asked as he leaned over, peaking at the picture. it was him with his voting sticker, "when did you take this on my phone?" cherry giggled and looked at timothèe. he was so close she could feel his hot breathe on her cheek.
he leaned back quickly with a laugh, he shrugged with a smirk and cherry shook her head. she began typing on her phone and timothèe peaked back over.

timothèe shook his head and leaned back against the couch. "okay i have an important question" he said serious and cherry put her phone down. she turned to him, "yes?" she asked and he smiled. "i need to see your playlist." she smiled at him. she grabbed her phone and unlocked it. she handed it to him and he grabbed it gently, opening the spotify app. "okay we're good" he joked and handed the phone back. "what?" she asked and put the phone down, keeping her eyes locked on him. "just seeing if you have taste." he held his hands up "and you do" cherry laughed, "of course i do!" she joked.
"i had to be sure" he said with a grin. her phone started going off but she ignored it. cherry grabbed it without looking and put it on silent. she wanted to be present with timothèe, soaking up every moment. she couldn't remember when she felt this at ease and comfortable. it was a relief and she didn't want to waste a single moment with him. for the rest of the night they talked and ate, sometimes stopping the conversation to share there favorite songs. they stayed on the couch for hours until it was one in the morning and timothèe said he had to leave because he could tell she was getting tired. she protested but he said he was too and that they'd see each other tomorrow. as soon as he left cherry went to bed with a beaming smile on her face.
