She pulled up to the party in Callie's Black SUV. Ever since she told Callie she has her permit, Callie has allowed her to drive her car. Even though she's not supposed to without an adult but Charlie knows how to drive so Callie doesn't care.
"is this secret service," Jose teased as she got out of the car.
"I think bad bunny's in there," Jose said to no one in particular.
"shut up," Charlie joked as she got out of the car. "So where's the birthday girl," Charlie looked around.
"she's inside my moms changing her diaper she should be out in a minute," Jose explained.
"I can't wait for Yasalani to meet her aunt Charlie she's gonna love my gift," Charlie said rubbing her hand together.
"what gift," Jose asked?
she went and opened the trunk showing one of those red little tike cars.
"you got her, her own car. I don't even have a car yet," Jose fake whine.
"I know at first I was going to get the battery operated car but then Callie was like she just turned one you should wait," Charlie did her best impression of Callie.
"she right," Jose laughed.
"I know," Charlie stared at the toy in the trunk.
"so how are we going to get this out," Jose asked turning his head to the side as if it changed something.
she felt hand wrap around her waist and she recognized the scent.
"why are you staring at that box ," Miguel asked resting his chin on Charlie's shoulder?
"tryna figure out how to get this out of the trunk. The men at the store wheeled it out on a dolly," Charlie leaned back into his body.
"how about me and Jose pick up we're strong enough," Miguel suggested.
"sure," Charlie shrugged.
"hi guy," Daisy half yelled.
Charlie jumped startled by the sudden sound. "You scared the shit out of me."
"kinda the point," Daisy laughed.
"get over here and help us pick this up," Miguel waved over.
"I think he's talking to you, my arms are noodle," Charlie whispered.
"he's talking to Cortez," Jose told them.
"hey Charlie," Cortez greeted as he made his way over to the two boys.
"hey cous," Charlie waved.
"okay, one three we lift," Miguel instructed. "One, two, three," all three men groaned as they struggled to pick up the box.
"She's so precious," Charlie loooked down at the day in her arms.
"pretty soon you'll have one of your own," Jose teased.
"okay chill, we've only been together a week and I'm not getting pregnant for anybody," Charlie said.
"I know," Jose put his hands up in defense.
"I missed him, I mean I missed all, but I really missed him," Charlie confessed as she rocked the sleeping baby.
"I know youd get that sad look in your eyes every time you saw someone that looked like him entered the store before you got back together," Jose said.
"it wasn't every time," Charlie chuckled.
"it definitely was, you where a sad kitten, helpless you would've been lost without me," Jose was always one for dramatics.
"yea you pushing it," Charlie laughed.
"okay but you where sad," Jose said, as if it was a good thing. "And now you're happy and I don't want you to be sad again."
"what's that supposed to me," Charlie questioned his choice of words.
"don't tie your happiness to a guy is all I'm saying because one day he could either marry you or leave and even if he does marry you, you don't tie your happiness to one man," Jose repeated.
"I'd hit you if right now if I could," Charlie mean mugged him.
"I know, but it's true," Jose shrugged.
"How was the party," Callie asked?
"it was good," Charlie threw the keys on the bookshelf. "she liked her present," Charlie sighed as she slipped off her shoes.
"well that's good, you seem tired," Callie commented.
"I am she wore me out, I don't think I could ever have kids," Charlie laughed.
"Well that's a long ways away in the future somewhere," Callie chuckled.
"I know but they are so cute, that's why I need reminding, every know and again I watch an at home birthing video," Charlie joked, well half joked.
"oh yeah, does it work," Callie questioned her methods?
"yep," Charlie laughed making her way to her room.
"I let you sleep till 11 it's time for you too wake up," Callie knocked on Charlie's door.
"please, stop," Charlie whined.
"you have an appointment with Bailey at 12 so no I can't stop," Callie started to knock again once she finished.
"fine, come in," Charlie muffled into her pillow.
"okay so you need to get I can't carry you, well I can but I'm not you gotta get up," Callie stood over the bed.
"just give me five more minutes," Charlie asked?
"no," Callie chuckled.
"please," Charloe begged.
"no."
"pleaseeee."
"no."
pleaseeeeee."
"okay fine but I'm staying," Callie sat down in the chair in front of her vanity.
But Charlie didn't go back to sleep she stare at the ceiling fan in her room
"Why did you ask for five more minutes if you're not going to sleep," Callie asked, now looking at the ceiling too?
"I normal use it as my I hate getting I need five minutes to not feel crazy and to think about the deep meaning of life time but you're ruining it," Charlie said as she threw her cover off making her way out of her bed room.
"hey it got you up," Callie shrugged celebrating the small victories.
"Julio," Charlie yelled.
They didn't have a punch in machine at the Alvarez liquor store, so this is how she clocked in.
"Honey don't you think, he gets tired of you yelling," Callie asked?
"Never," Charlie smiled making her way behind the counter.
"bye Charlie," Callie turned to leave.
"bye Mrs Torres," Julio yelled
"bye Julio," she yelled before the door closed.
"Lani hasn't stop playing with her car since we open it, she even fell asleep in it, your definitely moving up the ranks to godmom," Jose joked.
"what," Charlie said, confusion on her face.
"you wouldn't be the main godmom just the one that takes the kids one weekend out of the month just to make sure they stay sane and my auntie Linda is the godmom she would go live with if I die," Jose explained.
"of course," Charlie nodded.
"so how was the rest of your night, I saw you and Miguel go the same way," Jose teased.
"nothing happened his ride left earlier during the party so I gave him one, then I went home," Charlie explained as she went to go grab inventory from the back.
"oh really," Jose questioned if she was telling the whole truth.
Jose and Charlie turned as they heard the bell ring.
"it's like karmic coincidence, we where just talking about you," Jose pointed out.
"huh?" Miguel turned to look at charlie as he got pulled away.
"oh we where just talking about you," Jose pulled him to the back storage room.
"about," Miguel asked?
"what hummmmp," was all that came out.
"did you just lick my hand?" Charlie pulled her hand away.
"yes I did," Jose said like it was nothing. "Okay so back to my question, did y'all get down and dirty after my baby's birthday," Jose cut to the chase.
"no," They answered in unison.
"you to are no fun," Jose declared as he stomp out the storage room.
"so what brings you by Alvarez liquor on this lovely Sunday even," Charlie snaked her hands around his neck.
"oh I was hungry," Miguel teased earning a swat to the arm. "And I wanted to see the most beautiful girl in the world," Miguel smiled.
"stop tryna cake me up."
"why is it working," Charlie smiled pulling him in for a kiss.
"let's leave before Jose come back here," Charlie suggested.
"you're right but one more kiss," Miguel leaned in giving her a quick peck before walking out.
"you only it's unsanitary to fuck where we store the inventory, you could've at least did it in the bathroom," Jose told them.
"nope to many junkie needle they make me up horny ," Charlie joked, walking back around the counter.
"alright see you tomorrow," Miguel made him way the door.
"imma start charging you for coming in here," Jose quipped.
"why," Miguel asked?
"you always come in her but never to buy anything, and I'm sick of it," Jose grunted.
"you just need to find love," Charlie exclaimed blowing Miguel a kiss before they all broke out laughing.
"but seriously get out," Jose chuckled.
"okay okay," Miguel said before walking out the door.
"did you have to run him off," Charlie look over to Jose who gave her a smile.
