Click here** Go, Go, Go, Go Shawty, it's your birthday
We gonna party like it's your birthday
We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday
And you know we don't give a fuck, it's not your birthday! **
I yell over the noise.
"Oh, my god! You're going to blow my fucking speakers you fucking bastard!"
The music is instantly silenced.
"No, I'm not."
He slowly turns the volume back up to a normal level and I realize the stereo is new and the sound is beyond amazing. I run my fingers over the stereo, then look at the dash, and find my stock speakers have been replaced. I look at Charlie with wide eyes.
"What the fuck?! What did you do?"
"Forgive me, but I couldn't stand it any longer. One of my good friends owns a small shop, so I had him replace your speakers and upgrade your stereo. It's still basically a stock stereo, but now you have Bluetooth and an Aux plug so you can car Karaoke like a real person."
He's wearing a hesitant smile, worried I might reject his gift.
"Charlie, this is awesome!"
I'm listening to 50 Cent and my speakers are not being ruined, nor are they ruining the quality of the song.
"I have to reimburse you. I can't let you do this, it's way too mu-"
21 Questions comes on and Charlie cuts me off by turning up the volume, then he looks at me and starts singing.
** You drive me crazy, shorty, I
Need to see you and feel you next to me
I'll provide everything you need
And I like your smile, I don't wanna see you cry. **
He turns the volume back down.
"Just accept my gift, you know you want to. Plus, it's as much for me as it is for you."
His eyes are sparkling and his dimple peeks through as he smiles.
My best friend is hotter than yours.
"I also had your car doors and floor sound proofed. Nothing crazy, but the road noise in here was terrible, so it should help."
He shrugs innocently, as if this isn't a big deal. As if he didn't go above and beyond. The thoughtfulness of this gift is overwhelming. I'm glad I'm not driving because I'm starting to feel light headed. I've never had anyone do something like this for me, but this is Charlie, he's always doing things like this. Well, not like this, but things that let me know he values our friendship. I'm reminded of my comparisons the other night and realize, that maybe, I didn't give Charlie enough credit, he's awful sweet sometimes.
How is he still single?
"Charlie, this is too much. I can't possibly return this favor."
I feel terrible. He's being so genuinely generous and acts of service are not my specialty.
"Sucks to be you then. Friendship is a real bitch sometimes."
He continues driving the narrow streets until he finds a parking spot. I look out of the window and realize where we are.
"Fuck, yeah! Mother's! Happy fucking birthday to me!"
I do a little dance on the front seat. Mother's is my favorite breakfast place ever. I lean over, grab his head with my hands and plant a giant kiss on his cheek.
"Seriously, Charlie, you're the fucking best!"

Anonymousover 1 year agoAlso, Anon 1 year ago,
Your "attention plan" sure is missing immensely. The first page of this chapter literally says that Jesse is gone throughout this week off. No, Charlie did not ASSUME Colin is going to be alone Saturday morning. If you bothered to read the texts, it sounds more that they had talked about meeting up that early beforehand, hence the "where should I wait for you" at the start. Look at you embarassing yourself like this, shameful.
Anonymousover 1 year agoAnon 1 year ago,
You must be lacking some common sense yourself. Notice how there are some brief time skips here and there? Even if those time skips are not a thing, try your best to remember what happened in the dance club.
Put yourself in Colin's shoes. If you got humiliated with your virgin status publicized, what would you do to deal with the shame? Yes, research. With the amount of time before that blowjob happened, it's enough for him to do some research.
Have you studied at school? Learning the theories and actually performing them is different. Since it's his first time and he got Charles AKA the one that has a lot of sex as his best friend at this point, it's not unrealistic to ask Charles for tips. Really awkward no matter what, but it's not an alien thing to do.
Anon 4 years ago,
That "begging" thing is not only on Charles' side, so that immedately eradicates your "intelligent" argument. You literally missed everything about Colin begging Charles to hang out in a cabin too. Also, that's just a bit crazy to correlate begging with "no self-respect." Tips - don't go on a tangent when you clearly don't read the material. It's not making you look intelligent, but more of a ridiculous mess.
Anonymousabout 3 years agonot making a lot of sense. one minute Col's a vestal virgin, next he's an expert in anal stimulation, then he needs tips on topping? Charlie just assumes Col's gonna be alone Saturday morning on his birthday?
Anonymousalmost 6 years agoMy heart broke for Charlie in this chapter . Bless him. The fact that dude is comparing Charlie and Jesse means he is starting to like Charlie more than a friend
Anonymousalmost 6 years agoCharlie still begging, bruh like really why do people make their characters weak with no self-respect? Charlie sees Colin with dude, WHY IS HE BEGGING??????
Anonymousabout 6 years agoI have been refreshing my browser a few times a day, waiting for Ch6 to be posted. I now see it's 'awaiting moderator approval' - hopefully not long to go now!
mfa607about 6 years agoI agree with many other comments here! Loving this story! Go Charlie and Colin!
Anonymousabout 6 years agoAnd I'm so glad that this story is being updated with such regularity! I'm hoping for a HEA between Colin & Charles, but there are still 5 chapters to go and no doubt a rollercoaster ride and a few bust ups in between... like every great drama!
Starrynight22about 6 years agoI am legitimately stalking this site. Lol
I absolutely adore your characters.
Kittie72about 6 years agoI really like this story. It shows a natural progression in a relationship. Just can't wait to read more. Thank you for being a talented writer.
Mrsgnomieabout 6 years agoAuthorI submitted it today but we still have to wait for the site editor to approve the story!! 3-5 days (although two of my stories took longer!! ))
Soon though!
Anonymousabout 6 years agoI guess those of us here in the UK will have to wait until tomorrow then for the next chapter :( it's truly beautiful! I agree, you should probably post the original :)
Mrsgnomieabout 6 years agoAuthorI cannot express how much I love reading the comments! I want to post everything so you can read it through (but it’s not polished!)
I haven’t submitted the next chapter yet. It’s finished but I have two versions (they’re the same with a few minor-ish differences) and I don’t don’t which one I should post! I should probably go with the original. I’ll submit one today! Promise!
Anonymousabout 6 years agoI have checked the site about twelve times since yesterday to see if the next chapter is up - I am so on edge that I am going to take a break from studying and reread the latest chapter 😍
Anonymousabout 6 years agoI love this story. Its got me so invested in all the characters. Especially precious baby Charles is a cinnamon roll and must be protected at all costs. I have an alternate universe fan fiction in my head about how Charles is so devastated by Colin's deception that he finds love with a single dad called Tobias. LOL
judojonabout 6 years agoDam with every chapter i hope to find Jesse has been holding something back from Collin.What Charlie did for his bday was so far past friends. So hope that when the shit hits with Jesse Charlie will still be there when he find out about his family.Please get the next chapter out cant wait. Thanks John
Anonymousabout 6 years agoExcellent story telling. Can't wait for the next one. My mind keeps changing who to like more, Charles, Jesse or Colin. That's what gets me, that I do not know what will happen. Normally you can see things happen very early in the story.
And...I think it takes too long to wait another week. Although the last chapter was posted a bit sooner, thank you Mrsgnomie.
Starrynight22about 6 years agoWell damn i,forgot all about colin's deception. That's gonna be hard. He needs to come clean with Charlie. Oh hey.
Maybe. That's what breaks up colin and jesse? Jesse,finds out Charles doesn't know about Colin and his family and tells him out of spiteful jealousy?
I don't like jesse. He just strikes me as someone who let's things build (his jealousy over charlie) until it bursts out destructively.
This is also my 3rd read through TODAY
Mrsgnomie you are a magical writer.
Anonymousabout 6 years agoI have to laugh at the comments, I feel like I’m sitting at a book club where everyone’s reading the same book but every perspective is unique and different. I kinda love it too! Anyways, I don’t know how I feel. I think both Charles and Jesse are great and amazing yet I don’t love Colin.
He makes all these assumptions about Charles and that irritates me. But at he same time, he wasn’t wrong at first, I’m just frustrated he’s unable to see that he was wrong.
I kind of think that maybe Colin is naive? It sounds like it was such a dorky loser, maybe he will see’s himself like that, he can’t fathom that Charles might be interested? I don’t know! I’m trying to give him the shadow of the doubt.
I don’t know how things are going to go down. Unless Mrsgnomie throws us for a loop (which would be infuriating) Colin and Charles will end up together. But Jesse doesn’t deserve to be hurt! Likewise, if Jesse turns out to be a jerk, I’ll be shocked! That will ruin Colin! Ugh! Post the next chapter!
FYI: just took the 2 seconds to vote! 5 stinking stars.
Anonymousabout 6 years agoI really love this series but honestly find some people in the comments are way too harsh on Charles. We cannot expect him to change so much that he is no longer himself. What he did for Colin's birthday was so extremely thoughtful, it wasn't about the money but making Colin happy which made the gesture so beautiful. Yes Charlie uses his money but Christ that's probably what he's come to expect of people. He can't just change that.
Also are we forgetting just how utterly devastated he's going to be when he finds out about Colin's deception. Imagine falling in love with someone you thought you knew, being their best friend, supporter and confidant just to realise they've lied to you. My heart breaks for Charlie already. I like Jesse's character but he's just too easy to like for me. I love the relationship between Colin and Charlie, there's so much substance there. I just hope there will be some way for Colin to realise it's Charlie who he needs to be with!
I cannot wait for the next instalment! Thank you for this wonderful story X
