Ch. 23: Huggy Meets Charlene

Huggy makes it to the address that Catnap gave him. It's at Charlene's place. He doesn't know of Charlene, but he does know you and Catnap are currently residing there until you get your own place. Before Huggy left to L.A. where you guys are, Catnap called him and told him where you guys are.

He looks up and says, "Wow. Some place. Boy, wouldn't I have been lucky to live this luxurious life. I mean, I know this isn't their place and they're staying with someone... But I really need to see (Y/N) and Catnap. (Y/N) especially has always been so nice. Heh. Too bad queen bitch Mommy was jealous of her. I still laugh about that." 

He gets out of his car and he walks towards the condo. He gets to the door that Catnap mentioned was the address. He knocks and he waits. He says, "Hey. It's cool they're in L.A. I wonder what they're up to right now after running like me. I did do worse than Catnap did."

He hears the click of the door and the door opens. He sees a young woman in a purple shirt, blue jeans, etc. He blushes and he smiles. He says, "Uh.... H-hey there." She sees him and looks down at his gut. She sighs and smiles. She looks at him and she says, "Hi. Are you looking for someone, sweetie?" He blushes.

He says, "Um. Y-yeah, actually. Do you currently have two people living here with you by the names of (Y/N) (L/N) and Catnap?" She says, "Yeah. I do. Do you know them?" He says, "Y-yeah. I went to school with them a decade back." She says, "What's your name?" He says, "I'm Huggy Wuggy." He holds his hand out to her. 

She smiles and takes his saying, "I'm Charlene Valentino." They shake hands. He grins and says, "A pleasure, Miss. Valentino." She says, "Please. Call me Charlene. Come in. (Y/N) and Catnap aren't home right now, but you can stick around." He says, "It would be an honor... Charlene." She smiles and says, "Huggy." She lets him in and shuts the door.

He looks around and he says, "Wow. Amazing place. I bet you even have a pool outside." She says, "I do. It's not MY pool, perse. It's shared with neighbors." He looks around and he says, "Wow. So, (Y/N) and Catnap are currently living here with you right now?" She says, "Yeah. I thought I'd put them up. My parents are pushy about things, but I didn't mind this. I'll do anything to help those in need until they're back on their feet." 

He sighs and says, "I myself had to get away. My ex-girlfriend... did me wrong. Cheated on me with my sister. I... I told her I was done and left. I got as far away as possible. Not wanting to deal with it." She looks at him with sympathy and she says, "Oh, you poor baby. Why don't I give you something to snack on, Huggy?" 

He looks at her and says, "You would do that?" She says, "Of course. Come into the kitchen with me. In fact, I'll heat something up for you. A chimichanga or something." He smiles and says, "I appreciate this, Charlene. Thank you." She blushes and smiles saying, "A-anytime, Huggy." It already seems like Charlene and Huggy are taking a liking to each other.

Meanwhile, you're at the mall at the same store where you're doing the commercial. You've got it down pretty well. The director says, "Aaaand, action!" The voice on the background says, "Feeling dehydrated? Feeling thirsty? Get your hands on our nice, purfied bottle of Evian. Take it from our Australian beauty here." 

You do your act and you open the water bottle. You take a drink out of it and you do the ahh sound. You do your line with this, "Now THAT is refreshing.~" The director says, "Aaand, cut. Great job, Miss. (L/N)." 

Anita smiles and nods with approval saying, "This will be the best water bottle commercial in L.A. in 1995 for sure... Kitty." Kitty looks at her and says, "Yes, miss?" Anita says, "This is why you keep your job. You can tell who's fit for this and Miss. (Y/N) (L/N) here is most definitely fit for it." Kitty says, "Thanks, miss." Anita says, "You should get back to modeling yourself, dear. You still have the looks and body, yourself." 

Kitty looks over at you and says, "Yeah, but... compared to (Y/N) there?" Anita says, "I will admit. Nothing personal dear, but (Y/N) is a bit more attractive. But you yourself could at least do a cotton candy ad without eating too much of the cotton candy." 

They're unaware that you hear this and you look over at Kitty with a sympathetic look. Then again, you are in Los Angeles. Standards are higher there than they are back in Baltimore. Or even Australia where you're originally from. California is the American celebrity capital of the states. You had the fortune of having the looks and body and so did Catnap.

Catnap was in there watching your act and he approaches you. He grins and says, "Hey, Kitten. You did great." You smile and you say, "Thanks, lovey. We should get back to Charlene's soon. We have to work at Valentino's tomorrow afternoon. They want me back here in two days." He says, "Alright. Let's go." 

You look at the others and you say goodbye. You head out of the store. You head out of the mall and you get to Catnap's car. He gets on the driver's side and he starts the car. You both take off with the radio playing Orange Crush by R.E.M. 

*********************************************************

A moment later, you get back to Charlene's place where you're both residing and Catnap parks. You get out of the car and you head inside. You get up to Charlene's place and you get inside. You yell, "Charlene! We're back, lovey!" You hear her saying this, "Hey, guys. We've got a guest. He says he knows you." 

Catnap says, "Knows us?... Wait." You and Catnap hear a familiar voice saying, "Hey, guys." You gasp and you look over at the couch nearby. You see Huggy Wuggy. He smiles and waves. You grin and you say, "Huggy Wuggy! Hey there, mate. How are you?" Catnap grins and says, "Glad you could make it, pal." 

Huggy says, "Glad to be here. Charlene here is really nice to put you two up. I'm surprised she let ME in." Charlene says, "Huggy. You're fine. Trust me, I'm fine with you in my place. It's my parents who disapprove. Not me." He sighs with relief and smiles saying, "That's nice. At least YOU stand out. Even though I've never met your parents." 

Catnap says, "Those two hired us on the spot." Huggy looks at Catnap and says, "You mean you didn't have to fill out an application or anything? Just like that, you two got the job?" You nod and you say, "Yeah." Charlene sighs and says, "It's because my mom and dad noticed their looks and bodies." 

Huggy says, "Boy. They'd throw me out right away. I... I've got a fat stomach." Charlene says, "Well, I think the belly is cute." Huggy blushes. You and Catnap smirk. Catnap says, "Hey, buddy. You have a shot." Huggy says, "I... M-me? No way. I... I'm not the well-built so-called 'stud' I was in high school, anymore. I'm a..." 

Charlene interrupts and says, "Huggy. Shh. No more negativity towards yourself. I told you when you came in... guts on guys are cute." Huggy blushes and smiles. You whisper, "He definitely has a shot with Charlene."
