And the Indecent Proposal
A/N: This is way off from my Harmony stories and may throw some of my followers for the loop. Thought I might try something different. If you don't like femslash don't read it.
"Well I apologized about it twice. I don't know how much more can I do." Caroline whined and pouted at me.
I stared at her appalled and irritated by my reaction to the look she was giving me. The puppy dog look that she gave me was one of my favorite looks she had. I could literally feel my walls crumble and cave in by just that look.
"Yeah, I could have died. But you apologized twice so I guess were good." I said bitterly leaning back in my chair and staring up at the screen. I pushed away the instinctive feeling to forgive her and tried to remind myself of who I was. Maxine Black, hard ass, stubborn, and would never let some Blondie sway me into someone who I wasn't. No matter how cute she was. Cute, and my friend. Best friend in fact. Not that she would openly admit to it to Caroline. I guess there have been a lot of secrets that I've been keeping from her lately.
I sighed and resorted to what I knew best. Criticize the movie. Loudly. I was just about to criticize how stupid it was that the guy who has superpowers couldn't get out of handcuffs until I felt her lean closer and whisper in my ear.
"You're right I'm sorry. I don't like the way I acted. I'm a spoiled rich girl and I always put myself first. And I know that's something you would never do. What could I do to make it up to you?"
I glanced over. She was giving me that puppy dog look again. The walls I built crumbled even more as she batted her eyelashes to top it off. Damn her. And damn my heart for skipping a beat.
I took a deep breath and tried to play it cool. "Kiss me." I said jokingly. Well half jokingly. Okay who are we kidding? I was dead serious.
The look she gave me was another one of my favorites. Shock.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked loud enough for the guy behind her to tell her to shut up so he could watch the movie.
I felt my heart hammer in panic and my mouth move to play it off like I was indeed (even if I wasn't) joking.
Caroline beat me to the gun. "Is that all it takes for you to forgive me? Okay." She shrugged and moved closer.
It was my turn to be shocked. I felt like a deer caught in the headlights. In my peripheral vision I saw the geeks lean in watching our every move.
She kissed me. And not just a peck either. She grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me like I had all of her daddy's fortune hidden in my mouth. Tongue and all. When she pulled away my head was spinning. Through the fog of my brain I barely registered the collective groan of all three geeks like they just came in their pants. I turned and gave them a nasty look.
Caroline was giggling. She turned and winked at them before smiling at me. "That was fun. It's been so long since I've gotten any that it sorta turned me on," she said and wiggled her eyebrows at me.
I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I tried not to seem to tense as she leaned her head on my shoulder nonchalantly. My mind was screaming for answers. What the hell just happened?
I could barely concentrate on the movie anymore. It was basically over in my confused and overwhelmed mind. She finally pulled away from me and watched the movie. When I took a glance over at her she had a look that I knew too well.
I could see the wheels turning in her head. She was formulating a plan. I didn't know if I should feel dread or excitement.
When Caroline Channing was thinking of a plan we were all in for a wild ride. This should be interesting.
