Christabel walks into the Cafe, she smiles as she watches Charlie the Cook hold a plate of blueberry pancakes and bacon infront of him, like everyday since the day she started to work, everytime she gets off work, he would always ask her what she wants for breakfast for when she comes in for work, the next day.

Charlie Ross was like an uncle to her, well a gay uncle he always told her if she looked good or not. He fed her, listened to her problems, he even gave her confidence or advice when she needed it. He also helped payed her rent. And he was the boss of the Cafe. He earned the title Charlie the Cook, because he was one hell of a cook.

His husband, Jack Ross, would come to the Cafe around one in the afternoon to bring Charlie lunch. She loved them both to death.

"Goodmorning Christabel!" Charlie said happily as he sat the plate down on the bar. He wore his usual chef uniform.

"Goodmorning Charlie! How are you? Thank you for the pancakes!" She says as she sits down.

He hands her the syrup, and shrugs, "Im good, Ruby wont be here until twelve, so I hope you don't mind doing a little bit more waitressing today?"

"No not at all and since when is she ever on time?"

They both luagh and she digs into her pancakes.

Christabel watches as Charlie starts preparing for the day. She smiles as he hums. She thinks to herself, "Charlie is so sweet to me, he has the biggest heart out of everyone I know! I mean he cooks me breakfast, makes sure I'm ok."

After she finishes her food, she walks into the kitchen. "Hey when are you going to the change the restraunt up a little?"

"Actually I was just about to ask you something," he smiles as he helps her wash the dishes.

"Yes?"

"Look I want to tear the restaurant down, and I want you to personally help me redesign the place!" He puts his hands together, "And I want to rename the place! Think of all the possibilities!"

"Are you sure you want me? I have only been working here for four years"

"Yes, I'm sure, I trust you more then everyone else that works here. If you don't want to its ok."

Her eyes widen she hugs Charlie and nods. "Of course I will, why wouldn't I?!"

She watches him smile, "Thank you so much, you won't be sorry! Oh and you will be paid for all the work you do. And maybe one day when I retire you could take my place and own the restraunt!"

"You're welcome Charlie also I made plans tonight, so when I get off I'm going to head out ok?"

She watches as he nods quickly, "Now why wouldn't I let you? You always help me out. You're young! You need to go out and have fun! So yes go!" He wiggles his eyebrows, "You want me to make you and your boyfriend James his usual food? Because I know your going to be doing something together tonight"

Christabel blushes deeply and puts her face into her hands embarrassingly, "Charlie! He's my bestfriend! We don't like eachother like that!"

But Charlie new the truth, Christabel had always wanted to be more then friends with James, but never had the nerve to ask him out. She always got to nervous.

"Well at least try to losen up tonight ok? Wear something sexy!"

"Charlie!"

"Im serious! You need to lose that V card of yours, and James likes you, give him a shot!"

"Charlie! Im not having sex with him!" She felt herself blushing deeply.

He shrugs, "Well when your in a relationship, making out won't work as much because it gets old, you have to mix up a little," he looks at her seriously, "Listen I'm just being honest with you. You need to go ahead and settle down. Get ready to have kids. Your twenty years old."

"But what if he dosn't like me? And things get wierd," she looks down, "Charlie he's an amazing person, and I-I can't lose him"

Charlie smiles and pats her back softly, "It's a chance you have to take, listen if he kisses you, take it. He likes you!"

Taking a deep breath, "Ok, but only if he tries something first then I will"

"What are you guys doing anyways?"

"Going to the club and then back to his apartment. Maybe watch a movie?"

"I tell you what you get off at nine thirty, I'll have his food ready ok? Then you head home and get all cute and sexy for him!"

She smiles and feels her blush deepen. She nods at Charlie, "Ok fine, but if you still need me when I get off, just tell me."

Charlie waves her off and smirks, "I will not need you, Ruby, and everyone else will be here so its ok, please don't worry, just go have fun!" passing her,  a black apron. Which she slips on.

Christabels shift began at eight am and worked, taking order after order, until nine thirty comes along. She grabs the food Charlie made for her and James along with thier milkshakes.

"Tell James its on the house. Now have fun Christabel! Also we will start redesigning next week" Charlie says as he hugs her, and takes the apron back.

She nods and smiles, "ok I can't wait, thank you Charlie, I'll see you Sunday." She walks out the building.

When she arives at her apartment, she sets thier food in the microwave to keep thier food warm and put thier milkshakes in the fridge to keep them cold. Pulling her phone out of her pocket she text James.

Hey I have our food I got off early, im at my apartment getting ready

Walking into her room she grabs, a black lacy thong with a matching black lacy bra, and a black sleveless dress that was knee high. Laying all the items she grabbed on the bed she walks to her bathroom and runs warm bath water, she sets her phone on the cabinet in her bathroom, she grabs a razor, gets into the bath after she turns the water off, and starts to shave her legs and vigina. She dose it carefully so she wouldn't cut her self by accident. Sighing lightly when she finishes. She drains the water and then makes new bath water.

Sitting in the water after the tub gets full, she shuts the water off again, and sits in the water for a while, she says to herself, "He dosn't like me. What if I really screw up?" Taking a deep breath and putting a hand to her mouth, she sinks into the water slightly and breath out softly. "I have to try, whats the harm in that?"

Nodding to herself she cleans her hair and body, gets out and begins to dry herself off. As she reaches for her red robe, that she always leaves hanging by her mirror, her phone rings, making her almost jump. Grabbing her phone quickly. She sees it's James and smiles. Pressing answer she puts her phone to her ear nervously, "What if he is going to cancel on me?!" Christabel thought nervously.

"Hello?" James ask interupting her thoughts. "Hey is everything ok?"

"Oh y-yea sorry I just got caught up in my thougts. Sorry!"

"Its ok, I just got off."

Christabel looks at the time, it was ten, "Wait don't you get off at ten thirty?"

"Yes, but I got off early to. Im in the elevator right now"

Her eyes widen she looks in her mirror as her eyes widen. "Oh ok, ill warm up the food!"

They say bye to eachother, she sets her phone back down, she slips a towel around herself, quickly runing to the microwave, she sets thier food on a plate and warms it up for a minute each. She basically got the same food as him. Which she didn't mind. It made it easier for Charlie to remember. When the microwave gose off. She sets the food on the table and runs to go put her robe on with a towel around her head to dry her har.

As she walks into the kitchen she heard a knock. She smiles and walks to the door, "Im on my way," she opens the door and blushes slightly as she sees James. He was wearing a black shirt that showed his tonned muscles, blue jean, and black shoes.

"Im staying the night is that ok?" James ask as he shows her his back duffle bag.

"Oh yea thats fine," she takes a step back. "Im not even ready yet. So I may be a while?"

"Im not in a rush," he walks in and sets his bag on the floor.

"Well how did things go today" Christabel ask as she sits at the table and begins to eat. James sits infront of her.

"Good, but Im getting a promotion," he starts to eat, "Ill tell you later tonight ok?"

She nods and they eat in silence. When she finishes she stands up.   "I'm going to go get ready ok?"

"Alright, don't rush"

Walking to her room,  she shuts the door and apies her make up,  when she finishes she straightenes her hair. Satisified with her look she slips the dress on, she grabs her black wedges and puts them on quickly. She grabs her phone, charger, wallet and keys. This time she brings her purse and jacket.

Taking a deep breath she smiles as she walks out of her room and into the kitchen. "Hey are you ready?"
