Chasing Charlie

Chapter 16

I shook my head and smiled.

"I'll see you tomorrow Trav."

I waved at him and went upstairs.

-------

"Charlie.." a voice called out.

"Charlie.."

I groaned and rolled in my bed.

*poke*

"Charlieeeee...."

*poke*

*poke*

*poke*

"Charlie!!!!!!" the voice yelled and started jumping on the bed.

"Gah!" I yelled and cracked an eye open.

"What do you want Ry?" I said with my face on the pillow.

"I made breakfast." He said lying down facing me.

"That's great. Now let me sleep." I replied sarcastically.

"Come on Char please!" Ryan begged.

"Nagaflagdsg!" I said my face on the pillow.

Ryan sighed.

"Okay you asked for it."

Then he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

"Ah!!! Ryan! Put me down!" I yelled pounding on his back.

He just whistled and continued to ignore me and walked down the stairs.

"Ryyyy! Ugh!"

He finally set me down on the bar stool and patted my head.

I had a frown on my face while he just laughed and got me breakfast.

"Wow. I can't believe you got her to wake up."

My head whipped to the side so fast I thought I broke my neck.

"Good morning Charlie." Travis smiled.

"Morning?" I said unsure.

'What is he doing here?' I said in sign language to Ryan.

Ryan and I learned how to sign just in case we needed it and also because we both volunteered in a deaf-mute care center last summer.

'Mom invited him to come over remember?' Ryan signed back.

'I knew that but a warning would've been nice.'

Ryan just shrugged.

I groaned and glanced at Travis who was looking at us weirdly.

I bet we looked like crazy people waving our hands around.

"Where's mom and dad?" I asked Ryan.

"They're at the hospital, by the way they're gonna work double shifts today so that means I'm watching over you." Ryan said bringing a plate of food over to me.

"Fine with me." I said as I started eating.

"Well I'm going to go on my run now, I'll see you later Char." Ryan kissed my forehead and ran out the door.

"Bye! Don't trip!" I yelled out at him.

I faced Travis.

"So what are we gonna do today?" I smiled.

"Oh right! I was thinking maybe we could hang out and then go to the carnival?" Travis suggested.

"Sure! But won't your agent have something planned?"
