London Calling | Charlie + Grace

Every word he said to her calmed her down, they always did but with such a  big step coming up, it meant that much more to her. She was trying to take it all in knowing full well it might be her only chance to visit London and she was already falling in love with the sights. “So I’m dating an Oxford man, I think that might outweigh the whole bad taste in sports thing.” Her body quickly conformed against his almost as if she was tucking herself into his arms. “You have nothing to be intimidated about, babe, it will go great and I’ll be there for you, I can be a good buffer if it gets too awkward.” The pads of her thumb ran over his knuckles giving him a warm smile.

She pulled off her jacket as soon as the hotel door closed and her body was already feeling achy from the long flight. “Yes please.” She groaned out crawling underneath the sheets taking her usual position next to him and intertwined her legs with his. “It was worth it.” She mumbled in a very sleepy voice. “Hey, darling?” Her eyes were already closing as she nestled into the crook of his neck and his shoulder. 

He laughed softly as she spoke. “A sort of Oxford man, I wouldn’t go telling people that,” he teased before kissing her forehead. “I know, god, I’m so happy you’re going to be there. Sometimes he just looks at me and I feel so small and it’s just...I dont’ know, I was intimidated by him even when Cam and I were married. He just has that aura about him. Really pompous and shit.” He shrugged it off and just leaned into her, wrapping his arms around her tightly. It was true, Freddie was intimidating as all hell to him. The guy was a writer too, just as creative and Charlie had spent the past few years comparing himself to him. Wondering where he had gone wrong, what he could have done better, what the guy had that he didn’t. But Grace was right, she was there and he had no reason to worry. He had his girl and he couldn’t think of anything better. 

He smiled and let his eyes close as she buried her face in his neck. “Yeah? What’s up, babe?” He smiled as he heard her sleepy voice, his lips moving to hers for a moment before settling back on the pillows. “I don’t know if it’s just that I’m tired but this bed has to be one of the most comfortable things I have ever been in. Like hands down. These pillows are so fluffy. Shit, let me set an alarm before we miss dinner.”

I thought she was sleeping until I heard her call out from across the room, “Will you bring me a glass of water?” I did. Then in her always-sleepy tone and drawl she said, “Do you remember when you were a little boy and you would ask your mama to bring you a glass of water?” Yeah. “You know how half the time you weren’t even thirsty. You just wanted that hand that was attached to that glass that was attached to that person you just wanted to stay there until you fell asleep.” She took the glass of water that I brought her and just sat it down full on the table next to her. Wow, I thought. What am I gonna do with love like this.

“ My editor has been on my ass about this deadline —- but it’s still weeks away! Doesn’t he know it’s flu season? Can’t write brilliance on the landmarking of some dilapidated building if I’m dying, am I right?”

“I feel like the exact words came out of my mouth like five minutes ago.” Charlie laughed as he sat up a bit and adjusted his glasses. “I mean you could but I don’t imagine it would be very good. You gotta hit that Dayquil or some Mucinex, it’ll change your life.”

Mich: Wanna come of for karaoke and wine night?

Mich: Just say yes. You know you want to.

Charlie: Pretty sure you texted me by mistake but I wish I was home for karaoke and wine!!!

Charlie: I'm stuck at the airport on the way back from London. My flight yesterday got cancelled cause of the storm and it's super delayed today.

“Oh yeah. I was scheming plans as to how I was going to get my hands on you. Of course they were all half-assed, because when Gracie asks me no to do something most of the time I listen.” Jordan replied with a shrug. “Plus, I kinda didn’t want to go to jail, because the only one who would’ve bailed me out is Grace…and if….well you see how that gets complicated.”  She grinned at his response to her answer of the new meds and laughed. “Hey as long as I’m coherent enough to wash dishes I’m okay” She gave him a nod. “I’ve been considering going back to therapy. Like I do a support group sort of thing every couple weeks but I stopped that one-on-one stuff.”

He laughed at her explanation, the visual of her attempting to beat him up was definitely and interesting one. But he was glad they could avoid all of that. He wanted Grace to get along with his sisters so he was glad he could get along with hers. “Well washing dishes is extremely productive so I applaud you.” He smiled and shrugged. “I’ve always done well with one on one, probably because I love to talk about myself,” he joked. “But really it takes the right person. Like my therapist back in New York. I saw her from my first year of college when I was 18 until I left. Like she literally watched me grow up,” he replied with a laugh, “Now she’s more like my grandma than anything else,” he joked and ran his fingers through his hair. “So I think it can be valuable in a lot of ways.”

“How about I grab the bottle and we drink it? This is a one time offer but I’m willing to stay sober and let you get drunk in your misery.”

“Why stay sober when we can both drink in our misery?” Charlie laughed as he got up from the couch to grab them some glasses. “I mean we’re in my house, it’s not like you need to babysit me.”

“Well I think it’s always easier to work with people that have the same ideas as you do. But life isn’t always that easy, though I’m sure it will work out with a little positivity. And you actually don’t seem that nerdy.”

“I like your optimism, it’s really refreshing,” he replied with a genuine smile. “No? Well then I have you fooled because I am king of the nerds,” he joked before holding out his hand for her. “I’m Charlie by the way, don’t believe we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.”

“I think it’s more of a nightmare for you than me,” Savannah giggled. “You rarely hear that? That’s upsetting. People should compliment you more.” She smoothed out the bottom of her dress as if it would make her seem more put together. She was sure that her hair was a mess and her makeup was smudged, but there was no going back now. Her arms went on her hips as he lit the cigarette for her. “Thanks,” she said as she exhaled smoke. “I’m good right here for now. If I only smoke when I’m drunk then I think that’s not too bad.” It was a weak excuse but eased her guilt the slightest bit.

“Oh it’s definitely a nightmare. I have great hair and I love it but my Dad’s hair is definitely thinning so I’m highly concerned. I do rarely hear that. I’ll make sure to tell my sisters and my girlfriend to call me a god send more often.” He nodded and smiled as he took another long drag. “Hey, that works. I mean a cigarette when you’re fucked up is always a big help.” He smiled and shrugged off his jacket to put it on the sidewalk for the both of them to sit. He took a seat and helped her down with him, stretching out his legs a bit as he blew out some smoke. “I just gotta make sure I always have a pack on me in case you and I make a habit of these drunken late night smokes,” he teased and smiled overt at her.

“I feel like that’s a perfectly fine way to spend your week, though. I mean, telling off the man is always kind of fun, but you definitely get stuck laying low for a bit.”

“Thank you for validating me. It’s much appreciated,” Charlie replied with a laugh and ran his fingers through his hair. “Yeah, i don’t know if I exactly told off the man but I did tell off a few people so I’m mildly satisfied.”

“Your daughter and you have great taste in your Sunday viewings” He added with a small laugh. “The lowered my crazy level on any girl I was seeing, like there's only so much you can handle before you’re framed for murder. You have to admit she’s crazy as fuck but also really smart.”

“We try, we try. I mean you have to spend your Sundays the right way, you know?” He laughed and nodded. “Exactly, I feel you there. Oh I mean definitely. It’s like crazy but genius. Like the way she pulled that off was amazing. You have to admire that kind of dedication in a twisted way.”

Ginny: Oh gosh, that's a big step. Is she nervous at all? Have you told both women about each other?

Ginny: Goodness, that is a big change. Your baby's going to grow up with the accent though, that's neat. The weather's been a little unpredictable, but nice enough. You have to send some too!

Charlie: She's super nervous but it's gonna be great. Yeah, of course. She knows about Cam and Cam knows about her, so does Daisy.

Charlie: Yeah, I'm trying no to be too bummed about it. I definitely will! Half my camera roll is Daisy.
