“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! I’m Ed Hawkins here with Charlie Puth today on 100.9 Top Bops! How are you doing today Charlie?”

“Hey, thanks for having me, I’m doing well. Thank you for asking.”

“So your most recent album Voicenotes has been a complete hit, congratulations. I’ve even spoken to some who have never listened to you before, and they said they really enjoyed the sound and style of your music. How does that make you feel?”

“You know, Ed, I feel really blessed to have had a great reaction to the album. I put a lot of time and work into making it as perfect as I could get it to be. A couple of songs even got added that weren’t written to go with the rest of the songs, so I’m very impressed myself that it turned out well.”

“I didn’t know that, awesome stuff man! How is the tour going?”

“It’s going great. I’ve had amazing crowds every show, and every night they seem to take it up a notch. They’re just so loud.” The interviewer, Ed, nods with a smile.

“What’s been the highlight of the tour so far for you?”

“Um, definitely the energy I’m able to use that the fans send to me. Like singing the lyrics when I’m out of breath or just encouraging me to keep going when completely exhausted after hopping around for a few minuets.” Charlie chuckles and raises his eyebrows.

“That’s insane, your fans just love you Charlie, and I honestly don’t blame them. Will you ever stop or take a break from touring?”

“Maybe a short break, like a year or so. I wouldn’t want to go any longer than that because I feel like in order to help keep my music alive for my fans would be to take it to them and play it in person so that I can share those moments with them and not just myself. For me, it’s not as fun being by yourself singing new songs just in the studio with your producers and bandmates. I want my fans to be inspired by my music, even in person. Plus I would miss my family or loved ones, and being around those people is very, very important to me.”

“Charlie, you always impress me! You’re speak from your heart and you absolutely love your fans like no one else could. You’re an amazing guy! I’m sure Y/n thinks so too.” Ed smirks and Charlie blushes. His elbow rested on the seat of the chair while his fingers supported underneath his chin.

“How are you and Y/n doing?” Ed asked, pressing the topic of you more into the interview. “I’ve heard some rumors that you recently got settled into a new house?”

“We’re great, she’s amazing and yes the new house is fantastic. It’s just nice to have our own privacy even with out having to drive somewhere. It’s got a basement with no windows so it’s easy hide in places like that we enjoy.”

“That’s great, I’m definitely happy for you two! Also, I saw some photos just last night of you and Y/n coming out of Trader Joe’s with a couple cart fulls of food, Do you both eat that much?” Ed laughed and so did Charlie.

He raised both his eyebrows and shook his head lightly.

“I mean we probably could put away all that food in just a couple of weeks, but no, we actually have been cooking since we moved in and it’s nice that I’m not eating take out for once.”

“What’re some of the meals you like to cook?” Ed asked.

“I’m a really bad cook. I could literally burn something or ruin it completely and not even notice I’m doing just that. So, Y/n does all of the cooking.”

“Do you ever help her at all? Like maybe just something as simple as turning on the oven?”

“I can’t ruin anything by turning on the oven.” Charlie laughed but shook his head once he remembered something. “But, there was one time, Y/n asked me to finish mixing in the ingredients for a chocolate cake then bake it for her. Which by the way is an amazing cake but only when she makes it..” He laughed and continued.

“I was mixing up the ingredients then once I was done I poured it into the pan it goes in, I placed it in the oven and you know, set the timer, cleaned up the mess and Y/n came back after showering. So about an hour after I put it in, Y/n came in and asked me if I had set the timer, I told her yes, I set it for an hour and ten minuets, but she gave me a weird look and I wondered why..”

Charlie’s cheeks started to turn a light shade of pink, putting his embarrassment fully on display.

“So she drags me into the kitchen...and I see it, the dark brown, crusty looking cake thing, in the pan! I covered my face and started to apologize. I thought she was going to be so mad at me for ruining her cake, but out of nowhere she started busting out laughing!? I jumped because it scared me and I honest to God was not expecting her to react this way!”

“Oh my god, so you ruined the cake?!” Ed laughed, creating tiny wrinkles by his eyes. “It was then in that moment Y/n realized you’re not the cooking type.” He laughed harder as Charlie sat there completely reliving the moment.

“I didn’t know it was only suppose to go in for 30 minuets? That’s way less than I thought it would take, but I’m glad you got a laugh out of that.” He shook his head and bit the end of his thumb. “No more embarrassing stories today!”

“Aww man! We we’re just getting started.” Ed smiled waving his hands around and rearranging himself in the chair.

“Maybe I’ll let you and Y/n just have a day together so she can tell you all about me and my idiotic self.”

“Are you guys pretty serious, do you say ‘i love you’ and all that romanctic stuff?”

“We do say I love you, and I have a few nicknames for her so it’s more like ‘I love you princess’ or ‘I love you baby’. You know, the simple couple things.”

“Aw.” He cooed. “That’s cute that you’ve got nicknames for her, does she have any for you?”

“Uh, yeah,” Charlie blushed and rubbed his neck. “We don’t speak of those though.”

“Ohh come on Charles, we’re all pals here.”

“It’s special, she only calls me it during sex.” Charlie threw his head back in a chuckle earning another coo and smirk from Ed. Charlie shook his head and ran fingers on the nape of his neck.

“I mean, making love.. or whatever the hell everyone likes to call it now to sugar coat it.” He laughs as the interview came to an end and he apologized to all the young ears who just heard more than they should’ve.

Rainy Days

-

Raindrops slowly fell from the sky as clouds hovered over the apartment building, thunder rumbled after a dim flash of lightning stretched across the LA sky. Your head was nuzzled in the crook of Charlie’s neck as Frank Sinatra played softly in the background through surround sound speakers that had been installed just a couple of days ago.

Charlie’s curls tickled your forehead when he leaned down to kiss your cheek, you giggled and shifted to look up at him. He smiled down at you and his white socks were warm against your bare feet.

“I love these kind of days.” Charlie whispered against your hair. You tangled your fingers in his messy curls then cupped his cheeks gently, bringing his lips down to yours. You pecked kisses his soft skin every few seconds, you could feel his cheeks tighten beneath your palms and his lips stretch into a smile after you stopped. “Me too.” You said, replying to his last comment.

The curtain was pulled to the side of the large window in your apartment, giving you a view of raindrops hitting the window pane. How you and Charlie had set up the bedroom the window was at the foot of your bed just a couple yards in front of it. The view you had of LA was breathtaking and extremely rare for ones who lived in the city. Both of you had saved every last dime to get this place: the apartment room with the good view, the furniture to be comfortable on, and the surround sound to enjoy some classics whenever you would use it. The morning was drifting away slowly, but you two hadn’t made any plans for the day, it seemed like you were going to stay home and relax on Charlie’s day off.

A loud crash of thunder rumbled and shook the building, the window pane shook. You reacted with a flinch, Charlie chuckled and wrapped his arms around you.

“It’s okay, it was just thunder, Y/n.”

“I wasn’t expecting it.” You said snuggling closer to him.

“I’m sorry, babe.” Charlie apologized and kept you in his arms. After a few minuets had passed you sat up on the bed to stretch, Charlie groaned in annoyance as you left his warm chest. He complained then you laughed as he snaked his arms around your waist after sitting up himself. He rested his head on your back, and you felt his soft eyelashes flutter against your bare shoulder. You smiled and placed your hands over his forearms that were resting on your lower stomach.

“Do you wanna go out for breakfast?” Charlie asked his words being mumbled when he spoke against the skin of your neck. The vibrations made you feel weak, especially with Charlie’s deep, groggy morning voice. “Yes.” You smiled. “Then I don’t have to cook.” Charlie laughed gently and kissed your cheek. “Should we get dressed or go in our pajamas?” He asked. “Pajamas.” You replied with pure amusement in your voice, “It’s more of an adventure that way.”

Moments after enjoying the positions you sat in, you both got up and went into the bathroom to brush your teeth. You decided to change the music from Frank Sinatra to up-beat 60’s hits.

You laughed as Charlie began to dance while keeping up with his hygiene, he took your hand and tried spinning you around, but you’ve never been the one to multitask so you had to stop moving your toothbrush in order to twirl under his finger. You both rinsed and used the same routine: brush teeth, swish mouthwash, wash face, and comb your hair.

Charlie watched you lovingly with his soft hazel eyes as you finished brushing the ends of your hair. He stepped forward and was now up against your back, hands rested lightly on your hips and his head dipped down into the crook of your neck. Charlie moved your hair to the left side then kissed your right shoulder and up your neck softly, he never broke the eye contact you two were sharing in the mirror.

“Now I don’t want to leave..” Charlie confessed, a smirk was plastered right across his lips. You turned around, your back was up against the bathroom counter as Charlie pushed himself closer to you. He brushed his nose against your nose as his lips were just centimeters away, giving you an axiousness for the feeling of his touch. “Let’s go before you get anymore bad ideas..” You winked and stood on your tip toes to kiss his cheek.

Charlie loved your height next to his taller figure. He grabbed the keys and slid on his gucci slides, you put on your black pair of berkinstocks and pulled a sweatshirt over your head. The drive there took awhile with the rain and morning traffic, but you made it safely and managed to stay dry.

“Hi, welcome to iHop! Just two this morning?” A host with beaming blue eyes asked with way too much enthusiasm. “Yes.” Charlie answered, gently lacing his fingers with yours. She lead you to a small booth in a corner with a window. You smiled at Charlie when he scooted in next to you on the same side, you loved when he didn’t sit across the table but instead, that he wanted to sit next to you. It made you feel happy that he always wanted to be so close.

An older man came over with a smile and a notepad, a black pen was tucked behind his ear and he brought it down once you began to tell him what you wanted to drink. You both ordered black coffee and waffles with bacon and sausage, if you hadn’t asked for cream on the side for your coffee, your meals would be almost identical. After the waiter had taken your menus and walked away, Charlie laid his head on your shoulder and began to make loud snoring noises. “Shh!” You scolded him, Charlie laughed as tried to hold back your own to keep people from staring.

“I like embarrassing you,” Charlie confessed. “Your reaction is my favorite part.” He chuckled and you diverted your attention to your phone, before it could even read your thumbprint, Charlie snatched it away from your hands and shoved it under his left thigh.

“Please give it back.” You begged him. “No, pay attention to me.” Charlie said dragging out the ē. He laid his head on your shoulder again, the scent of his cologne made its way to your nose and you inhaled taking it in. He held your hand under the table and rubbed small circles on your thumb as the small chatter of strangers filled the restaurant.

“Two black coffee’s, cream on the side for the lady,” The waiter smiled kindly and rested the two mugs on the table. “Waffles with bacon and sausage, and another waffle with bacon and sausage!” He said happily. “Does everything look right?”

Charlie dug his fork and knife out the napkin before even answering him, so you chimed in with a slight giggle. “Yes, thank you.”

You both ate and were satisfied with the taste and texture of the waffles, Charlie stuck his card in the little folder and left an $10 tip on the table. Once the waiter came back, you two scooted out of the booth and headed for the door.

Charlie began to run as it started to sprinkle, you screamed as he swiftly picked you off of your feet and carried you the rest of the way to car. By the time you made it, it was pouring down rain, your hair was soaked and the top of your sweatshirt was uncomfortably sticking to your shoulders. You laughed as Charlie got in and started swearing because he was soaking wet also, he looked at you while he started the car and saw that you were smiling, he chuckled and rested his head on the steering wheel.

“I love you.” Charlie said lifting his head and a smile formed on his lips.
