Chapter 4
Charlies POV
I smiled as I stepped off the plane and looked around at Seattle, "home sweet home" I said with a smile before walking down the street hailing a cab. I couldn't help but read over the test messages I and Spencer have sent back and forth of the two weeks I've been gone. Smiling to myself I slipped my phone back into my coat pocket.
I stopped at my apartment and dropped off my things before jumping in another cab and heading over to the Shays.
I couldn't help but feel all giddy inside, I told Spencer I wouldnt be back till tomorrow so I could surprise him Carly and her friends. They all had become like a second family to me in such a short amount of time it was almost unreal. Running a hand through my hair as I knocked on their apartment door I waited. I heard talking and then the door opened.
I waved seeing a camera in my face again,
"Charlie!" Carly yelled out before rushing over to hug me, I hugged her back and laughed. "I thought you weren't going to be back till tomorrow?",
"yeah I deiced to surprise you all" I said with a shrug.
"Awesome" said Sam, "got any meat?" She asks as we headed back upstairs, laughing I shake my head and sit to watch them do the rest of their show.
"So how about I make us all a snack and you guys can tell me what's been going on while I've been away?" I stated once we all headed back downstairs.
Sure said Carly as I walked into the kitchen, I decided to bake cookies and begin to take out the ingredients I would need.
Ok well who wants to start first I asked
Well said Sam while you were gone we….
I listened as they told me about school and the craziness they got into while I was gone, but this time it was good craziness that they all enjoyed. I laughed and smiled also throwing in some stories of my own and showing them pictures of my family who all said hi. About two hours later the door to the apartment opened and spencer came dancing inside.
"Hey Carls I'm back from my dateaaaaa, Charlie!" he said "I thought you weren't coming back till tomorrow?". I smiled lightly and stood up from the couch,
"I lied so I could surprise you and the kids" I told him before picking up the empty tray of cookies and going to place them in the living room.
"Oh" he said,
"Oh?" I repeated slowly with a raised eyebrow
"Ohhhh"
"Uh oh"
I heard the kids say before Sam stood up, Freddy and Carly following and they raced upstairs,
"Ok so obviously I wasn't missed" I said folding my arms over my chest standing in the door way of the kitchen.
"No, no that's not it! Of course I missed I mean the kids missed I mean"…
"Relax Spencer I'm only kidding".
I wasn't
He rubbed the back of his head and I looked at the time on my phone before I sighed not feeling up to staying any longer.
"I got to go I got work first thing in the morning".
Looking around I sighed,
"And the afternoon" I said noticing the mess. "Bye" I said opening the door and closing it before he could say anything.
No ones POV
Spencer stood there kind of shocked starring at the door Charlie just walked out of.
"What was that?' said Carly after a short moment of silence.
"Yeah" said Sam "and what date, I thought you were just meeting up with someone to talk about selling one of your sculptures".
Spencer looked at the kids before looking back at the door and knew he messed up big time,
"So a date huh" said Freddy…."how was it"
Spencer sighed and sat on the couch…
"Horrible"
Charlies POV
After I left the Shay's apartment I decided to go do something for myself and went to get my hair and nails done since I had some extra cash. After I went home took a shower ate and quickly went to bed.
The next day came quicker than I wanted and then work went by even faster. I sighed as I made my way up to the Shay's apartment. I was stupid to think someone as great as Spencer would even think about dating me. But I guess you can't get everything you want in life, I guess knowing were still friends will have to do. I knocked and waited for a few moments before I heard Spencer yell it's open. I twisted the door knob and opened the door only to get a surprise of my own.
"SURPRISE!"
I heard and looked seeing a cake food and Spencer and the I-Carly gang in the living room which was clean.
"Uhh what's going on?" I asked as I stepped inside. I took off my hat and gloves as I put down my shoulder bag and started to unbutton my jacket. My hair which was down to my shoulders was curled and highlighted so the brown in my hair was more obvious against the black.
The kids looked up at Spencer waiting for him to talk but he seemed stuck on pause…
I laughed and walked over to him, "hello anyone home?" I said waving my hand in front of his face.
He blinked once…then twice and then laughed lightly rubbing the back of his head
"Well this is what you would have originally came back to if you would have come home today instead of yesterday" said Carly still looking at her brother with a smirk on her face.
"But we still wanted to throw you a welcome back party", she finished.
"Awe that's so sweet" I said "and you guys cleaned" I laughed looking around,
"Yeah" said Sam "don't get used to it".
"Oh you didn't even help" said Freddy
Sam leaned over and Pushed Freddy into the couch making him flip over and fall onto the floor with a loud thud.
I rolled my eyes but laughed as I helped Freddy off of the ground.
"Samantha" said Carly, I shook my head before remembering the bags I had bought with me.
"Oh here I got you guys something while I was in New York" I said putting my now curled hair into a ponytail to keep it out of my face.
"Eek really?" asked Carly "what it is?" I laughed again at her excitement before handing each person a bag. For Freddy I got him a Hollister zip up sweater, for Sam I got a leather jacket from hot topic, for Carly I got her a cute dress from Mandees and for Spencer I got him a shirt and sweater from Hollister.
"Hey how come Spencer gets two things?" said Sam, I rolled my eyes and pulled out a bag of bacon tossing it to Sam.
"Never mind" she said happily walking into the kitchen,
"thanks you didn't have to do this" said Spencer.
"Ah he speaks" I said laughing lightly, "you guys didn't have to do this but you did" I said,
"Listen about yesterday I'm sorry I was just shocked you were here and I was upset because well this is what I wanted to you to come back to".
"It's cool" I said "life does go on it stops for no one" I said,
"Except the president" said Carly from the kitchen,
"Right except the president" I laughed,
"mmm cake" I added as an afterthought before cutting a small piece. To say the least, things got real awkward after that, Spencer stood watching me eat my cake which was weird and I could tell the kids were watching waiting for something to happen.
"This is boring" said Sam laying across the counter, "ask her out or something already". I chocked on a piece of cake and looked up at Sam who was watching me with a duh face on.
"What?!" I said before looking at Spencer who looked just as shocked as I felt.
"What Sam means"… said Carly coming into the living room, "ask her out or something!" she yelled throwing her hands up in the air. I stood up and looked at Carly who placed her hands on her hips.
"Come on big brother the whole time she was gone you were all worried and stuff and you guys were always talking on the phone".
I nodded seeing where they would get the idea that spencer liked me from.
"Doesn't he like have a girlfriend?" I said still lightly coughing,
"No" said Carly.
"But yesterday you said you were coming back from a date" I said looking at Spencer.
"Yeah" said spencer "but it didn't really work out besides it was more like two friends catching up and she was just telling me about a future deal on one of my sculptures". I nodded and placed the plate down before looking around,
"Maybe I should go" I said heading to the door. As my back was turned the kids motioned for Spencer to say something,
"wai" said spencer making me turn to him.
"Yeah" I asked with a passive look on my face,
"uhh… do you wanna uh… go out sometime maybe this weekend?" he asked. I opened the door and smirked,
"Sure if I'm not too busy I'll call you" I said before waving bye to the others and losing the door.
"Nice" said Carly as she looked at her brother shaking her head
"What?" said spencer looking at her with wide eyes… "What?"
"Smooth" added Freddy
"Yeah real smooth" said Sam before taking a bite out of her bacon
Spencer threw his hands up in air and they all laughed at him.
