RONNIE'S POV:
"I know what you're doing…" Charlie chuckled as I made our bed the next morning
"And what's that then?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him as I threw the cushions onto the bed
"You're busying yourself up here until Roxy leaves," he informed me "and that's not a good idea. You need to sort things out and clear the air, so let's go downstairs."
I straightened up the bed cover and exhaled a breath I didn't know I'd been holding, taking Charlie's hand, letting him lead me out of the room…
"Morning…" Roxy greeted us as we walked into the kitchen a minute later
"Auntie Ronnie, I'm seeing my Daddy today!" Amy informed me, hurrying over to me
"That's lovely, sweetie," I replied, smiling at her warmly "you have fun, yeah? I better go…"
CHARLIE'S POV:
"Aren't you gonna go after her?" I asked Roxy as Ronnie made her way down the hallway
"Why should I make the first move?" she questioned
"Ronnie told me about your argument last night, and I know you're going to say I'm agreeing with her because she's my girlfriend, but I'd agree with her if she wasn't. Amy could see her Dad more, so go and sort it out with your sister like I know you want to. I'll get Amy sorted." I informed her
RONNIE'S POV:
I'd just pulled my coat on and opened the front door when a hand placed itself on the door, shutting it. Turning, I swallowed a lump in my throat as I saw Roxy stood by the side of me…
"I think we need to talk…" she admitted
"The caf, or somewhere more private?" I questioned
"Can we go to the gym?" she inquired
I nodded my head and watched as she grabbed her coat from the hook. Opening the front door, we made our way out of the house and to the gym…
"I'm sorry, Ron…" she sighed
"So am I," I informed her "I shouldn't have said what I did. I know things between you and Jack aren't very good."
"That shouldn't matter though, should it?" she questioned "Jack is Amy's father, and she deserves to have him in her life and to see him, so I need to arrange with him for her to see him more."
"Yeah, you do." I replied, smiling at her warmly "And whatever happens, I'll be here for you."
"Thank you." she stated, reciprocating my smile
CHARLIE'S POV:
Jack had just left after picking Amy up and as I shut the door after seeing them off, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Pulling it out, I smiled as I saw I had a text from Ronnie…
"I take it you had something to do with Roxy coming after me? Thank you, and as a thank you, lunch is on me at The Vic? I'll see you there? X"
"No idea what you're talking about, but lunch is a yes. I'll see you there at lunchtime. X"
