A/N: This is a shorter chapter, but I had to end it otherwise it would have been way too long. Chapter four should be up soon as well! As always enjoy and many thanks to my beta awkward-like-grace from the Tumblr realm. If you are a Trinity fan and are on Tumblr, check her out. She's a cool person.
Chapter 3
A swirl of images crowded Charlie's sleep-muddled mind as she tossed on the bed. Jade eyes, olive skin, and long brown curls of hair that tickled her face as the other woman lowered her lips to Charlie's.
Then everything stopped to show a gold ring with diamonds encompassing it. A silvery voice that had a shade of honeyed tone asked from nowhere, "So, what's your answer?"
Charlie woke up with a gasp as the trumpet called out right by her bedside. Maxine stopped the recording on her phone and set her hands on her hips.
"Max, how are you able to function this early?" Charlie yawned out as she saw the clock read 7 a.m.
"Who were you dreaming about?" Maxine's tone was stern.
"What? Why?" Charlie's eyes widened.
"I heard you say her name in your sleep, Charles," Maxine sighed and sat down on the edge of Charlie's bed, "Did she show up in your dream?"
Charlie scratched her head and ran her fingers through her hair to get the tangles out. She succeeded, but ended up making her hair stand on end due to her serious bedhead.
"Kinda. It was more flickers than fully-formed details."
Maxine nodded and had a frown on her face.
"Max, I'm over her, I promise," Charlie brought her knees up to set her chin on them, "Besides, Allison is pretty nice on the eyes."
Maxine arched an eyebrow up, "I highly doubt you only noticed her eyes. At least I would hope so," she looked both confused and concerned, "What does it say about me if I noticed more than her eyes?"
Charlie chuckled into her knees, "That you have eyes yourself."
Max smiled and patted Charlie's arm, "You best be getting used to the 7 a.m. call, I'm not letting you sleep in."
Charlie groaned, but pulled the blankets back and swung her legs out from the bed. Maxine stood up and went to leave, but stopped at the door and gestured at Charlie's hair.
"Also, do something with the nest on your head. We don't want to scare off Chet when he gets here now, do we?"
"Ha ha, you're hilarious, Max," Charlie threw a pillow at Max, who was already out of her room and she laughed when the pillow plopped in the doorway.
Allison's head poked into Charlie's room as the pillow landed in front of her, "Hey! That almost hit me!"
Charlie's head snapped up to Allison and she grimaced, "Sorry that was meant for Max."
"I just wanted to let you know that I was headed down to the mess," Allison's eyes strayed to the wild flames of hair on Charlie's head, "You trying out for a part in an anime?"
Charlie clamped her hands over her head, "Okay! I get it! My hair is a mess, I'm working on it!"
Elise suddenly sat up straight on the couch, "Oh no."
She pulled the blanket away from her person to see a dark spot in the crotch of her pants, "Goddammit!"
"Elise, did you piss yourself in your sleep…again?" Charlie called out from her room.
Elise sighed and stood up gingerly from the couch, "Yeah. Looks like Maxine prepared for it though. I guess she got tired of having to clean out pee from her couch."
"I'm not picking up that trash bag though," Maxine called out from the front door.
Elise groaned and carefully picked up the bag to take it to the trashcan.
"Bad luck, dude," Allison remarked as she walked out of the cabin, "Although, I can't say I miss being the bottom bunk."
Charlie stretched her back and called out to Elise, "Glad to know there's someone else having a bad morning."
When her back popped, Charlie let herself fall back on the bed and closed her eyes. When the jade eyes sparkled under her eyelids, Charlie growled, forced her eyes open, and hopped out of bed.
