Charlie took her in a place that she knew so well. Her eyes lit up as Charlie smiled.
"How long have we not been here?"
"Sometimes I still go there when I want to be alone and write songs"

It was a hidden place among the plants, a garden that hadn't been used for some years not far from their homes. Now it was much more beautiful with so many flowers.

Y/n was playing hide and seek with his brother and Charlie. She was running to find the perfect place to hide herself when she fell and stood up in a big garden. She was amazed and giggled. She thought that it was a special place, so she wanted to share it with someone special. She come back and searched for Charlie, when she found him, took his wrist and took him in the place.
"Look what I've found"
His eyes lit up.
"Wow, it's amazing. We don't have to tell Owen, ok?"
She nodded.
"Yup, can this be our secret place?"
Charlie smiled.
"Of course, only ours"

Y/n bit her lip.
"It was our secret special place"
"Yup"
"It's magical like our first time here"
Charlie smiled and took her hand as she blushed.

"I'm hungry"
Charlie laughed.
"Fine m'lady, what about Starbucks?"
She smiled.
"I think it's perfect"

When they arrived, she sat on the table.
"What do you want?"
She thought a bit.
"Surprise me"
Charlie smiled and went to the cash desk to order when a girl went next to him.
"Hi Charlie"
He looked at her.
"Sarah"
"Are you here alone?"
"No, I'm with my girlfriend"
She laughed.
"Please Charlie. You are not able to lie, I know she is not your real girlfriend, you are doing all this for me. If you want me back, just ask" She went closer to him.
He bit his lip.
"I don't think so, now sorry but she is waiting for me"

Charlie came back with her favorite drink.
"Hey, how you knew it is my favorite?"
"I just know your tastes"
She smiled.
"I think our plan is working. I can feel the jealousy in Sarah"
Y/n become sad.
"I'm happy for you"
"We need to put some rules"
"Rules?"
"Yes, people think that we are not dating for real but I'm doing this only for Sarah"
"Well, it's true"
"But they have to think that we are dating for real, so, we should hang out every afternoon"
"No way man, I have my friends"
"Okay, what about five times a week?"
"Three"
"Three plus every sunday together"
She smiled.
"Okay"
"And also we should go to parties together"
"Parties?"
"Yeah, to show to my friends that we are together for real, and we should post picture together"
"I'm not photogenic"
"You are the most beautiful girl in the world ok?"
She blushed.

"How long will we have to pretend to be together?"
"I don't know. Ah, and also you should come with me to the winter school trip and winter formal"
Y/n giggled.
"But it's in three months"
"Yeah but maybe we will stay together until Christmas"
"Charlie, if I should go with you to the school trip, you should do something for me too"
"Like what?"
She smiled.
"Cooking school. It's every friday evening"
He giggled.
"Seriously?"
"Yup"
Charlie smiled and took his phone to take a photo.
"You know? I like your smile"
She smiled.
"I love your smile too"

When they finished their drink, Charlie took her home.
"Thank you for the day, I missed spend time with you"
Charlie smiled.
"I enjoyed spend time with you too, it's been a lot you know... Y/n"
"Yes?"
"I know I've been a moron over the years, ignoring you wasn't nice. But I want you to know that I've never stopped thinking about you, I've always worried about you"
She smiled.
"I know Charlie- bunny"
He blushed.
"See you tomorrow"
She nodded and winked.

She entered the house and her brother looked at her with his arms crossed.
"Oh hey Owen..."
"We need to talk, but I need to talk to Charlie first"
He went out and followed Charlie.
Y/n sighed and went in her room.

Owen took his friend's shoulder.
"Charlie"
"Hey Owen"
"Listen to me, if you hurt my sister, I will kill you"
"What do you mean?"
"You broke up with Sarah yesterday and now you are dating my sister. Why? She is not a doll, you know?"
"I know ok... It just..."
"Charlie, I'm serious. We both know how she is kind and I don't want her to be hurt"
Charlie patted him.
"I will take care of her, I always did, I won't hurt her, you know. I love her"
Owen sighed.

Y/n was in her bed when received a notification.
She opened her instagram and saw a post.

Her brother entered in the room.
"Hey"
"Hey... Owen listen, I know that-"
"Wait"
He sat next to her.
"I know you love him, and I trust you, so, if you two are in love with each other, I can't do anything about it"
She smiled.
"Thank you, you are the best brother ever"
He hugged her.
"Pizza tonight?"
"Of course!"
When Owen went downstairs, she sighed. She really wanted to stay with Charlie for real. She wanted his feelings for her real, not fake. Also she felt bad because was lying to her brother.

After dinner, she took her phone and saw a message from Marisa and smiled seeing the picture that she took that day.
