"Yeah, well, we spoil you because we love you," he admitted in a softer tone. Charlie couldn't see how anyone wouldn't love Cassie. She was awesome. He'd never really wanted a sister growing up, but if he had one, he'd want one like Cassie. Well, maybe not so hot. That might be weird. "Lewis would love a hug. My dad too. He helped as well." The Burghards had totally adopted Cassie into their family.
It was cute to see Cassie momentarily confused, but seconds later she fell into step with him. The dress was definitely appropriate now. "Just so you know... I'm not big on dancing. I only do this on very special occasions... and only for the coolest people in the world." Not entirely true. Charlie was actually pretty damn graceful, but he wouldn't go out of his way for many people like this. He wanted to make sure Cassie had the best birthday ever.
He resumed singing along with Otis. "I need your loving arms to hold me tight. And I... I... I need... I need your... I need your tender lips." Charlie leaned down to whisper in Cassie's ear. "Nearly forgot your other present. This one's just from me. And, uh... Ava said it was okay," he added with a breathy chuckle. A second later, Charlie put his palm to Cassie's cheek and moved in to kiss her on the lips. It wasn't just a peck either. Charlie had his way with her mouth!
