          Richard helped Charlie dress in something rather dashing, fixing his messy hair and wiping the drool from around his lips. Not that Charlie could help that, the lad paid no mind as when to swallow his spit, or let it trickle down his chin.

          They then snuck through the front door and down the sidewalk, Richards arm around Charlie’s waist instead of his hand. It would be the second time they snuck out tonight, not that Charlie minded that. Being with Richard was like a drug. The boy couldn’t get enough of it.

          "Hop in." Richard told him, opening the door to his Camaro parked a block away and strapping the fourteen year old in.

          He then raced to his own side and got in the car, starting it quietly and pulling away from the curb and away from the Tomlinsons house before he really put the pedal to the mettle, holding onto Charlie’s hand and rubbing soothing circles, comforting the nervous young lad.

          Charlie had never disobeyed his dadda so much and it made him feel almost giddy, like he was suddenly cool. Although, he always would be in Richard eyes.

          Richard drove for some time, going down surprisingly crowded streets till they stopped on a busy strip, a small cafe looking place before them. Charlie had never been there before and it was pretty and colorful, filled with shiny things the caught his eyes, yet, he still held onto Richards hand as they walked in, not straying from him, only hiding behind his shoulder, much like his daddy would do around new people.

          "Charlie, what kind of ice cream do you want?" Richard asked, brushing the hair out of the blondes face. "Stawbewey please." He giggled, glancing around at all the different ice creams behind the glass. There where many colors and flavors and Charlie wasn’t sure if he wanted just strawberry anymore because boy, did these look delicious.

          There was a green on and a orange on, even a blue! And Charlie sure did love blue. But then again, Strawberry had always been his favorite. He like the little fruits in it and the sweet flavor.

          Richard ordered there ice creams, Charlie’s with sprinkles and a cherry while Richards was a good old soft turned Chocolate, which he just so happened to love.

          They sat down at one of the small tables, being some of the only people in that and started eating there ice cream.

          Charlie had a dribble of strawberry leaking down his face and Richard wiped it away with a napkin, still smiling lovingly at the boy who only giggled, sucking the ice cream out of his cone before biting into the waffle cone.

           “Charlie hun, slow down. Your don’t have to eat so fast.” Richard laughed, licking his ice cream once more, wiping the corner of his mouth and licking his finger. Charlie only smiled at him, continuing to eat his cone.

          Richard himself didn’t feel like finishing his ice cream, so he handed it to the young lad who devoured it. It reminded Richard of the time at the Family reunion, which he still remembered clearly.
