Chapter 10: Dance with me

Back at the garage, Charley had just finished making lunch. Before that, she had had a long conversation with a local attorney friend of hers about her and Throttle having to go to court and whether this law was for real. Unfortunately for them it was a real law...in Florida. He informed Charley that whoever is doing this probably is trying to convince the judge to push this forward in order to receive more money. He also read the law off to her:

798.02 Lewd and lascivious behavior.—If any man and woman, not being married to each other, lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together, or if any man or woman, married or unmarried, engages in open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior, they shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

He also informed her that it was considered a second-degree misdemeanor in and is punishable by fines of $500 or up to 60 days in jail. That didn't make Charley's day at all but, he did tell her that he would represent the both of them in court because he owed her some money for fixing his car almost six months ago. Charley, of course, agreed and that she would get Throttle on board. The only thing he asked was to make sure that they were both dressed appropriately for the occasion.

Charley placed a large try of hot dogs and buns on the table. She then got out all the condiments, including onions. After that, she laid out a set of Styrofoam plates. She shook her in disbelief as she wondered how her life could become any more complicated.

"Shit! I forgot to cook the fries" Charley exclaimed as she reached into the freezer and pulled out a huge bag of frozen fries. Turning the still warm oven back on, she poured the fries into a deep pan and quickly got them into the oven.

Pushing her hair away from her face, Charley went to the bathroom and retrieved her radio. She was really in the mood to listen to some music. She heard her three furry heroes pulling up to the garage as she walked back into the kitchen. Cracking the oven door slightly, she checked to see how the fries were doing and then closed the door because they were not ready.

The garage door opened, three bikes drove in, and it closed. She heard the bikes turn off and the three of them grumbling about not being able to find anything that would help them out. The only one who seemed to be happy with the outcome was Vinnie. He was bragging about snapping a picture of the other bike and setting off the bombs.

Ugh! I'll never hear the end of this story. She thought as she plugged in the radio and finally found something worth listening to. Some Cassie "Me & U" would do the trick for Charley while she waited for the fries to finish cooking. The synthesized keyboard played a nice slow dance sound that Charley could get into singing to:

"You've been waiting so long
I'm here to answer your call
I know that I shouldn't have had you waiting at all
I've been so busy, but I've been thinking about what I wanna do with you

Charley stood in front of the sink and began to roll her shoulders to the beat. Rolling her head to one side and then the other as she thought about Throttle.

I know them other guys, they been talking bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true
They know you're the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
Now, it's me and you

Throttle walked into the kitchen when he heard the music playing. He saw that Charley was caught up in the music, judging by the way her denim clad hips swayed to the music, and figured he would take advantage of the moment.

It's me and you, now
I've been waiting (Waiting)
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It's me and you, now
I've been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me how you like it

He walked up behind her and grasped her hand. Twirling her around to face him caught her off guard and she blushed. He placed a hand at her waist and the other hand held hers.

I was waiting for you to tell me you were ready
I know what to do, if only you would let me
As long as you're cool with it, I'll treat you right
Here is where you wanna be

Charley caught on quickly to the fact that Throttle wanted to slow dance with her in the kitchen and agreed to. Smiling, they moved moved in tempo to the music and danced around the kitchen.

I know them other guys, they been talking bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true
They know you're the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
And now, it's me and you

It had been a long time since he had danced with anyone but he hadn't forgotten some of the moves. Just to be this close to Charley made him happy.

It's me and you now (Baby, it's me and you)
I've been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now (Thinking bout making that move)
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It's me and you, now (Uh-huh)
I've been waiting (Hey)
Think I wanna make that move, now (Wanna make a move)
Baby, tell me how you like it (Yea)

Charley hadn't lost her moves either as she danced with Throttle. Keeping just enough space between their bodies to allow mobility.

Baby, I'll love you all the way down
Get you right where you like it, I promise you'll like it (I swear)
Just relax and let me make that move (It's our secret thang)
Keep it between me and you

Throttle guided her body across the floor in unison with his own. Each of the could feel the heat vibrating from the other. It wasn't a normal body heat but one that came from passion. A passion that they were having a hard time avoiding because they never wanted to be apart.

It's me and you, now (Oh Yea-a)
I've been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now (Move now)
Baby, tell me if you like (Tell me if you like it)
It's me and you, now (Yea)
I've been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now (Gonna make a move now)
Baby, tell me how you like it
It's me and you

But, circumstances were preventing them from coming together as one and they both knew that. Vinnie was one problem and Charley's virginity was the other.

Baby ill love you all the way down
Get you right where you like it
I promise you'll like it(i swear)
Just relax and let me make a move(it's now secret)

Vinnie kept thinking there was a chance and Charley had squashed that little bug a few months ago. Her virginity scared Throttle because he knew that was something very special but, it didn't stop him from wanting her.

Charley felt like Belle, from Beauty and the Beast, dancing with her prince across the ballroom floor. Except she was dressed in a pair of light blue denim capris and a white tee shirt, with a pair of white canvas keds and matching ankle socks. But, at this moment, she could have cared less. All she wanted was to be in this moment with Throttle and no one else.

As the music ended, they painfully let each other go.

"Thanks. Its been a long time" Throttle said with a suave smile that could could make a woman swoon.

"I should be thanking you" Charley whispered as she smiled. She felt the blush creep up to her cheeks as she slowly lowered her thick lashes and then looked back up to Throttle's handsome face.

"I hope we're not interrupting" Vinnie said from the kitchen doorway.
