Finally Free - Charlie Gillespie

Chapter Three

Kenedi
"Are you going to tell me what that was?!" I look at Madi confused while sitting down on the couch with my starbucks.

"Tell you what what was?"

"You and Charlie!!"

"Oh. What about it?"

"Oh my god. You've got to be kidding me."

"What?"

"One, you called him babe."

"That was accident! And I call all my friends babe or honey or something like that."

"Mhmm. Two, he asked for your number."

"Oh shit. I haven't sent it to him. Hold on." I pause the FaceTime quickly dming him my number almost immediately seeing the little seen message. "Has he been waiting for me to dm him?"

"Probably. It's so obvious he's crushing on you!"

"Ha! Nice joke."

"I'm being serious!"

"So am I. There's no way he'd go for someone like me."

"Do you have feelings for him?"

"Madi, this is Charlie Gillespie we're talking about."

"So?"

"Of course I do, dumbass." She squeals making me roll my eyes.

Charles_gillespie: you mean more to me than chicken nuggets too ;)

I start choking on my iced latte completely forgetting that I sent him that video.

"What? Are you okay?"

"I forgot I sent him a tiktok that said whoever sent you this tiktok wants you to know that you mean more to them than chicken nuggets."

"Oh yeah. You sent that to me too. It was kinda funny."

"Yeah well he said 'you mean more to me than chicken nuggets too' with a winky face."

"SEE! It's so obvious!" I roll my eyes smiling at his message.

"What do I say to that though?"

"Be flirty. But not too flirty."

"Really, Mads?"

"What? You don't want to seem too desperate."

"I am desperate."

"Oh I know, but he doesn't need to know that."

"Hey!"

"You said it not me!" I sigh nervously typing out a message. "What did you say?"

"I just said 'i forgot i sent that to you but thank you' with an orange heart."

"Has he seen it yet?"

"Yeah it's like he's literally waiting for me to message him."

"Maybe he's on the phone with Owen like you are with me." I laugh just picturing it in my head.

"I doubt it."

"Stop being so negative!"

"I'm not! I'm being realistic." I hear clicking noises and realize she's texting someone. "Who are you texting?"

"Owen. I'm asking him if he's talking to Charlie."

"Whhhyyyyyyyy?"

"Because I'm invested in this relationship."

"Our nonexistent relationship."

"Dude, he wants to spend the whole summer with you."

"So?"
