Charlotte

"You wanna know the best thing about New York?" I asked Henry. We had just finished making plans my mom was renting out a club, so basically there will be a VIP section for all my friends and an everybody section.

"Yes, I do want know." Henry responded.

"The clubs, and my friends called me up and you know invited us to join them, Imma be skin out." I stuck my tongue out and bounced from right to left clicking my fingers.

"Or you're gonna wear a massive sweatshirt that says, 'I have a man.' and don't forget the sweatpants." Henry said, mockingly.

"Yeah, I'm not going to do that. I'll show you what I'm wearing." I pulled Henry up my elegant stairs.

"You betta come down and show us what you is gonna wear!" I heard Cameron shout in an exaggerated African American accent. I rolled my eyes and headed into my wardrobe.

"Try not to get lost." I laughed as Henry looked around in awe.

"I wont be surprised if Narnia is behind this wardrobe." He joked, causing us to laugh.  My eyes then landed on the dress I bent over to get it and all of a sudden I felt inviting hands grip my booty. "Henry." I jumped.

"Nah you wanted me to do that, shaking your ass in front of my face." Henry defended himself, with a smirk on his face. I smiled agreeing. Then I held up the tan seude dress. Henry smirked. "It's beautiful, like you." Henry laughed.

"You are too cringe." I shook my head.

"You love that though." He pecked my lips.

"First off all, I don't know who told you that but it's false information." I teased, "I don't even like you."

"I' giving you 3 seconds to run. 1 , 2 ..."  He spoke with a grin on his face. I sprinted out of my wardbrobe and right past my mom.

"Cameron help me catch her! You too Ms Bolton!" Henry yelled for assistance.  Almost immdiately everyone was chasing me. I couldn't help but giggle the whole time I was running. I headed for the door and opened it quickly shutting it behind me. As soon I took like 3 steps into the driveway they were all already outside, all panting heavily but their smiles still on their faces. "Damn I need a time out, you children will be death of me!"
"Ah bye mom! "Cameron lunged towards me and Henry and him suffocated me in a massive bear hug. I screamed in laughter as Henry picked me up. Cameron thought it was a good idea to snapchat this moment. I screamed and giggled, the moment was truly perfect.

"Woah!! Charlotte! Am I dreaming right now or are you really standing here looking gorgeous!" Christabel stood there - her hair beautiful dark and curly as I had remembered - in awe as Henry and I approached the carpet for V.I.P access.

"It's me girl! You better believe it. " I hugged her, "This is my boyfriend, Henry."  I smiled introducing him to her. Henry shook her hand and smiled then snaked his arms around my waist and leant on me a bit.

"Everyone else is in here." Chrissy led us through the doors.

"Do you think we'll find time to be alone?" Henry whispered in my ear. I felt myself get hotter. As I slowly nodded in response, "I t-think we might."

"Good because I came here with you and for you, only you." He nibbled on my ear. I bit my lip, which made me remember we were in a public environment about to meet my friends.

"Henry stop." I shook my head pushing his head away from my neck.

"If you say so." He shrugged.

"No keep going." I closed my eyes and stopped in my tracks for a moment as Henry's teeth dug into my skin gently.
We then heard someone clear their throat. I was blushing like mad.

"Charlotte!!!" Someone broke the 'silence' between us. Which is ironic because we are in a club where music is being played.

"Jason!" I played along and hugged him, I haven't seen him in ages.

"Guess who baby?!" Someone placed their hands over my eyes.

"Is it my favourite 3?" I asked anticipation rushing through my body.

"Yes!!" They squealed.  Tears almost formed in my eyes as I hugged my high school squad. We were all spilt up due to our different career choices and universities we got accepted in.

"I missed you guys like crazy!" I smiled.

"Yeah right! You dont call us anymore we have group calls at least once a week . I won't be surprised if you forgot our names." Rachael complained.

I shook my head with a smile still on my face," I've been busy and of course I remember your names. Rachael, Samantha, Collette. We are 4/4" I said causing us to all hail and scream '4/4'

"Well 4/4 meet my boyfriend Henry. He's been the one keeping me busy, blame him." I pointed at him. As soon as he saw my eyes on him he approached me and my friends.

"So you are the guy that has been stopping Charlotte from talking to us." Samantha looked Henry up and down.

"Well I mean look at me, I'm fly." Henry joked.The rest of the girls laughed along. At least they understand his banta.

I scoffed at him,with a grin on my face because I knew he would follow me as I headed towards the bar. "Char! Wait up!" I heard his voice. My grin slowly turned to a smirk.

"Let me buy you a drink, ma'am" Me and Henry turned to face this random stranger that offered me a drink. I gently squeezed Henry's hand to soothe his growing temper.

"Yeah that means you will also have to buy one for my boyfriend." I looked at this guy very thoughtfully. I studied him. He looks familiar. Way too familiar.

"Sure I don't mind." He shrugged.

"It's okay dude, we don't need you buying us drinks." Henry holds my hand even tighter and barged past the guy.

Who could that guy be?
