AN: Hey everyone sorry it's been a while that I've uploaded anything for this story, been busy with my final year of University. Should be able to now upload more for this story and others.

Hope you like this new chapter, there is going to be maybe one or two more chapters on this I never planned for it to be a long story. So hope you like it.

It's going to be based a few weeks after the chapter.

Let's see what is happening!

Chapter 5

How long will it take for Sophie to Charlie her plans? How about Charlie when will he do his plans? Will they get married?

Sophie's POV

I was currently sitting next a fountain and taking a break from doing my follow up story. I had an offer from three different newspapers. I hadn't yet told Charlie he has been busy with work and something else that he hadn't told me about.

He was busy nearly all the time, and he was trying to plan something…for what I have no idea.

Over the past couple of weeks we had been busy, I was talking to Claire and Lorenzo and spending time with them. Learning their story about what they have been through for their first year together.

When I wasn't spending time with them I was spending time with Lorenzo's family, Charlie and then some of my other friends that I had made here on the last trip that I was out.

Suddenly there was a pair of hands over my eyes ''Hello, why you by yourself?''

I giggled hearing Charlie's voice ''waiting for someone why kind sir why are you here?''

He chuckled then sat next to me ''really soph, that's your response how did you know it was me?''

I smiled and leaned against him and said ''I knew it was your hands plus its around the time you said that you would meet me anyway''

I couldn't help but giggle a little, he was off now for two weeks and we were taking a break and going on a road trip with Claire and Lorenzo.

We were going on the same road trip that we took to find Lorenzo and end up back at his vineyard, where they were reunited.

Charile squeezed my hand and said ''you ready to go then?''

''Yea let's go''

Charlie's POV

I took her to the car where Gran and Lorenzo was waiting for us and then we were off, back to the first city that we went but that started it all off.

We walked around and went back to the wall of Juliet, I could see that Sophie was more interested in the woman that was walking around.

There was some crying, some silent sobs, some happy and joyful, others with small families.

''this is where I put my letter to for her to answer me about my problems with you'' I heard Gran tell Lorenzo

He just nodded his head and said ''at least you finally got a reply''

I felt Sophie touch my hand and said ''I'm glad that I found that letter of hers other wise this wouldn't have happened''

I sigh and smile at her and say ''I know, let's go and see the secretary's''

She nods and we go off to see them.

We end up spending the rest of the night talking to the woman and hearing some of the letters that they are replying to, they ask Sophie to come back tomorrow before we leave and help with some of them.

''Really?''

''of course you helped so much with Claire and it will be lovely to have you in the office again''

''okay then'' she turns to me and says ''can you find something to do while I'm doing this then babe?''

''Of course, I'll go shopping or just take a walk around and meet up with you after wards''

She gives me a peck on the lips and then turns back to the others while having my arms wrapped around her.

The next morning we said goodbye to her and then I went for a walk with Lorenzo and Gran and I could see, Grans face and it had a smirk on it.

''What's with the smirk Gran?''

''oh nothing just wondering about something''

''What would that be?''

I was curious now and we sat down at an ice cream parlour.

''Just when are you going to make your move and ask Sophie to marry you''

I choke a little on my ice cream and say ''Gran how did…what….what makes you think I'm thinking about doing that?''

She smiles more at me and just says ''I can tell hunny and besides I can tell how much you want her to stay here with us and everything, so….''I knew I couldn't hide anything from her

I chuckle and get out the ring that I'm hoping to put on her finger by the end of this road trip and show her it.

She gasps and smiles at me and says ''that is going to look fantastic on her and she is going to love it''

I take back of her and look at it myself and say ''I hope that she does and that she says yes as well''

I hear Lorenzo chuckle and say ''she will say don't worry about that one son''

I smile at them both and put the ring away and just in time for Sophie to come back to us.

''Hey hunny''

''Hey''

We give each other a peck on the lips and then she sits next to me and talks to Gran about what she bought, then the letters she got to read today.

''they were all so heart wrenching there was one about a young woman that, has so many past relationships fall. She is worried about her current relationship. In the past she went out with people that ended up betraying her and I don't like seeing people like that''

''how bad was she betrayed?'' Gran asked

Sophie sighed and said ''the girlfriend she was with cheated on her with another woman that doesn't like her and ended up seeing behind her back for most of their relationship. Then ended up cheating on that woman and trying to get back with her, while she was trying to get with someone else''

''that is a lot of drama and horrible at the same time, what kind of advice did you give her?'' Lorenzo asked.

''I said to her that even though you have been hurt in the past and you are now friends with this woman be careful about fully telling her about her current relationship. This would be so that she wouldn't feel hurt about anything that might happen, then as well her old flame couldn't try and break them up.''

She sighed again and said ''Over all I wanted her to understand that all of the bad relationships are meant to happen so that, they could help her with the one relationship that will be true to her. If this relationship is that then it will be really good and be full of challenges but will be worth it in the end''

I could just imagine all of that advice helping some woman out with a relationship and how it could also help other woman out.

''any others that was interesting?'' Gran asked

She took a moment to answer and said ''yes there was a slightly older woman that needed help with deciding if it would be easier for her to turn lesbian''

''can someone turn lesbian?'' I asked

''while they normally can tell if they like women more than men, for others they have had experiences with both sexes and they prefer the experiences that they have had with women. For others is that they have had the experiences with men but haven't enjoyed then see what it is like with woman and have enjoyed it more''

''so it just matters on what your feelings are?'' I ask trying to understand

''Yes something like that but I just said to her that if she wants to do that then do it but don't think that it is going to be an easy change for her, and suddenly she is going to find a lot of women that are interested in her.

It's not that easy and she needs to be ready for that but I wished her luck and to write to us again with hopefully good news, or more advice.'' She finishes explaining

I nodded at her and said ''right that makes sense, huh it's a good thing you know about this to help her out then hun''

''Yea I suppose so but I just know a lot of people that have went through this, so I know what to say''

I kiss her head and say ''that's cool, using experience to help someone out I'm glad that you are you and helping people out''

She chuckles and says ''Glad to know you think that''

We got up then went back to the hotel, packed and then went back to the car and continued the road trip.

This is the end of this chapter I hoped that you enjoyed, the topic about the lesbians and stuff came up last week with a friend of mine and this is sort of the advice that I gave her. I wanted to give any of you that was going through any of this type of situation similar advice, there isn't many people who others can turn to and I'm hoping that this will help any of you in this situation.

You can message me any time you want if you any of you want advice or read other fanfictions that have similar topics and find the answers that you are searching for, I know I have found answers to questions through fanfiction and other writers.

I hope that this helps any of you.

QUESTIONS FOR NEXT CHAPTER…When is Charlie going to propose? Will Sophie say yes? Will Sophie tell Charlie that she is might be staying forever and about the job offers?

I hope to see you all in the next one and that you review and let me know what you think.

See everyone in the next one!
