Carina chapter 2

After leaving the party Carina and Fred walked on the beach, talking laughing then she asked him about his deceased wife. Fred at first grew sullen but then told her what had happened and how she had been killed by a drunk driver killing her and their unborn child. He answered her questions one by one. Feeling for the first time, able to release all that he had been carrying inside of him. He felt odd that he found Carina so easy to talk to unburden himself. He also found it interesting that she appeared so genuine interested in what he had to say.

"Carina I am amazed how easy it is to talk to you, please forgive me if I bored you."

"No Fred please don't think that I just wanted to know what you were feeling, I find you very amazing!"

"Who me? I am by far the most unamazing man around." Fred responded.

Carina looking right into his eyes smiled at him warmly. "Fred I have led a very wild and reckless life I could have any man I chose but in truth I was just whoring myself."

Fred was going to say something, but Carina cut him off. "Fred I led a very screwed up life, you can ask Sarah how I was. I never would take anything seriously and looked for trouble where ever I could find it. But I changed when I saw my dearest friend Sarah find the love of her life. Saving her soul and heart in the process, in a lot of ways I an so envious of her and Chuck. "

Carina then explained to Fred the change that occurred in her when she was Sarah's bridesmaid how happy Sarah was and how deeply in love Sarah and Chuck were.

"Fred I let myself be used by men who only saw me as their sexual toy, not as a woman who needed love and affection. I was fooling myself that being the party girl was enough, it's not.

As she spoke for the first time in her life, tears fell from her eyes. Shye was scared openly displaying a side of herself to anyone that she had always kept hidden. Fred was moved by her openness and candor toward him and took her in his arms hugging her and slowly stroked her hair from her tear stained face.

For a brief moment too quick for either one to understand they pulled each other closer as their lips met and a tender moment occurred between them.

Fred pulled himself away startled , "I'm sorry Carina I did not mean to…."

But before he could finish his sentence she interrupted him, "I'm not. " she replied pulling him again for a second kiss but this time more passionately.

It is not always stated that for the first time in this DEA agents long career that she kissed a man who made her feel like the earth had moved and fireworks and jolts of electricity passed inside her. But then again Fred was left speechless because these same feelings were being felt by him.

Next morning Sarah had been calling Carina's hotel room with no answer. She was becoming more than a little worried about her friend . But a knock came to her door and there stood Carina with the most intense smile in her life.

"Carina are you ok?" Sarah asked.

After asking her repeatedly she finally grabbed Carina by her shoulders, "Earth calling Carina! Do you copy, Carina! Carina!"

Sarah almost felt like slapping her friend out of her daze. When Carina finally came out of her stupor, "Yes, Sarah." She replied in a soft sweet voice.

"What happened after you guys left last night?"

"Something wonderful Sarah, he kissed me!"

"Yes he kissed me and it was wonderful, never been kissed like that before. WOW! The man can kiss girlfriend."

"So what happened?" Sarah questioned.

As if in a daze Carina smiled, and her eyes lit up and just moaned sweetly, "I fell in love, I fell in love.!"
