Hey guys...I wanted to thank the two of you who have reviewed. This is my 1st fanfic so I'm trying. Okay, so the last two chapters were kindof just going back over what actually happened, but also having their thoughts thrown in there. It should be new material from here on out.
Disclaimers: I don't own anything, but one day I swear I will get Dom drunk in a Vegas casino and we shall get hitched by some guy pretending to be Elvis. JK.
"I Want You To Be Serious"
Charlie sat staring at Claire in THEIR tent. After several minutes of this Claire was beginning to feel uneasy.
"What are you so distracted by tonight, Charlie?"
Charlie stared at her a moment more before replying. "Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful you are?"
Claire's cheeks became bright red at his comment. "Thanks" She said rolling her eyes so she was looking at Aaron in his cradle, instead if Charlie.
"I'm serious." Claire looked back at him as he went on. "I would rather live on this island for an eternity with you…than be back in the real world without you."
"That's sweet…but you can't mean that." She said shaking her head while turning back to the sleeping infant.
Charlie reached his hand out and lightly touched her cheek, turning her head to look him in the eyes. "You still don't get it do you?"
"Get what?" She asked looking in his eyes for any sign of what he meant.
"I…I love you, Claire"
She gave him a curious look as she searched his eyes and into his soul, and what she saw was sincerity.
Claire slowly placed her hand on top of his which was still lightly brushing her cheek. All the while never taking her eyes off his. "I think…I might love you too"
She then kissed him for the 2nd time that night. This time it was different though. It was deep, full of passion…and love. Claire felt herself furthering the kiss as she moved closer to him. She wanted him. She wished that their was some way to guarantee he'd be there forever, to look out for her and keep her safe. Charlie, sensing where this was going, lightly touched her arm as he pulled out of the kiss.
"What's wrong?" She asked quickly, worried she had done something.
Charlie looked down at his hand resting on her arm. "Let's not"
"Did I…" Charlie took note that she thought she had done something wrong and quickly cut her off.
"I want this night to be special, Claire. I just want to lie under the stars together, talking all night. I want to learn everything about you. Things that you've never trusted with anyone before. I want us to reassure each other that everything is going to be okay."
Claire had had almost every emotion imaginable that night. From fear, relief, love, and now confusion. She thought that this had been what Charlie had wanted.
"Charlie, I…"
"Your always saying when I don't want to answer a question I make a joke. So let's be serious…I want to be serious. I want to tell you things that I'm ashamed of, things that I've hidden from myself for far to long." Claire's confused expression suddenly changed into a small smile. "Charlie Pace…you are the strangest…and at the same time, the most beautiful person I've ever met."
Okay...so there it is Chapter 3. I hope you enjoy and reviews are always welcomed.
