Disclaimer: I solemnly swear I'm up to no good. Ha, kidding! I don't own Grimm; I simply own Charlotte and any other character not mentioned in the series.

Chapter 14

There were books surrounding a small table near a window. The jars were filled up with things that no one could possibly name. There was a bed nearby and a closet which remained closed. A few artifacts were hanging here and there but it was something Charlotte has never seen.

"This is where she lived?" Charlotte asked.

"Yeah," Nick said.

"I've never seen anything like this. Are you sure she wasn't a hoarder or anything? No offense," she asked.

"No she wasn't" he said.

She sat down on the bed and continued to look around. "What was something that you had to show me?" she asked.

"You know the fairytales you've read when you were a kid?" Nick asked.

"Yeah it's been what since I was little," she replied.

"Remember how it would always have a happy ending?"

"Yeah pretty much," she said. "But I don't see how this is related to everything here."

Nick stared at her as he grabbed a book from the table and walked towards her. He sat down next to her, never taking his eyes off of her.

"Charlotte, there are things that are just not what they seem," he said.

"Go on," she said.

"There are some fairytales that don't have that happy ending. Have you ever thought that there are some people are different from others?"

"Yeah I guess, but Nick what's going on?" she asked.

"What I'm about to tell you is something that I've kept almost a long time from everyone," he said.

She let him continue but she can tell that there was more to this story. Nick took a deep breath before he began his story.

"This book has different Wesen creatures known to date. It probably dated back to centuries. I know this is sudden but this is what I needed to know while I was doing the murder investigation. I didn't want to believe it myself but I knew how bad this would be if I didn't do anything to stop it," he said.

He got up quickly and opened up a large cabinet and it held different types of weapons inside Charlotte never knew existed. She sat there in shock and confusion as he was explaining everything to her. She sat the book aside and walked up towards him but remained a few feet away from him.

"Are you a slayer?" she asked.

"Excuse me?"

"Are you like a vampire slayer or something because this looks something that came out of Buffy," she replied.

"No, but Charlotte what I'm trying to say is that I'm a Grimm," he said.

"Oh crap," she said.

Charlotte didn't know how to react. She looked around before her eyes met with Nick's. She somehow wished that this was an entire joke but his face remained as serious as it can be. She looked down before facing him again.

"Who else knows?" she asked.

"No one but Monroe and Juliette," he replied.

"You told your ex girlfriend?"

"Yeah, I had to tell and when I did, she thought I went crazy but when I showed her this…"

"That's when she broke up with you?" Charlotte asked.

"Kind of. She only broke up with me because of the sneaking around and hiding thins from her. I told her it was for her safety but she hated the fact that I lied," he replied sadly.

"How does Monroe fit into all of this?"

"He knows because he's a Blutbad," he said.

"A what?"

"It's a half human half wolf," he said. "He knows because Blutbads and Grimms don't get along with each other."

"And surprisingly, you do?" she said, skeptically.

"Yeah, but Charlotte, are you okay with everything I just told you?" Nick asked.

"Honestly," she said, sitting back on the bed. "This is a lot to take in. just before I thought I was going to die by some psychopathic bitch. Now you're telling me you're killing creatures that don't exist?"

"They do it just I can only see them and they can see me," he said.

She only could nod as she looked around the room.

"So you don't think I'm crazy?" Nick asked, worriedly.

"What's there to be crazy about? If you're thinking that I'm going to run as a story you're wrong," she said.

"Charlotte, that's the least of my worries. It hasn't happened luckily and I know it'll take time but as long as you don't think I'm crazy, we're fine," he said.

She looked at him and gave him a half smile. "You know you have pretty eyes right?" she asked.

Charlotte's eyes went wide as he stared at her in shock. I can't believe I said that to him! She thought to herself.

"I-I'm sorry," she said.

She got up from her spot and ran out of the trailer. She ran towards her truck in embarrassment. Why she had to say that? She and Alex have talked about him prior to the whole incident and now there goes any chance of talking to him ever again.

"Charlotte, wait!" She heard Nick's voice called out.

The next thing she knew was that she looked up to see him running towards her. He cupped her face and looked into her eyes before he pressed his lips on hers.

She stood there in shock, not knowing what to do until her eyes closed and returned the kiss. They pulled away and their foreheads touched one another.

"Holy crap," she breathed out.

"Yeah," he said.

"Wait a second," she said. "Are you really over your ex? Because if you're not, I understand and I don't want to be the rebound girl or anything like that because I'm not one just so you…"

Her rant was interrupted as Nick kissed her once again.

"You're not a rebound I can promise you that," he said.

"But now we kissed, what does this mean? I'm new to this whole relationship," Charlotte said.

"I want to take this slow as much as you do. I know we barely know each other but maybe if we take this slow, who knows what might happen," Nick replied.

"We could do that," Charlotte said.

"Or do you want to skip that and just do this?" he suggested by kissing her once again.

"As much as I want to, we could date and do the kissing. We could sleep together but not sleep sleep if you get my drift," she said.

Nick agreed before he wrapped his one arm around her and headed for her truck. She decided to drive and the ride was half silent and half with conversation. The only difference now is Nick holding on to Charlotte's hand as they drove.

They got home awhile later. Charlotte immediately headed upstairs and changed into her pajamas. She sat on the middle of her bed and stared at herself in the mirror that was across the room. She looked exhausted and needed some sleep. Her hair was in a heap on the top of her head in a bun.

She looked out of the corner of her eye that Nick entered the room and sat next to her, just leaning against the headboard. He only wrapped his arms around her body as she leaned against his. They only sat in comfortable silence before they fell asleep, thinking about the events that happened today.

A/n: Bet you didn't see the kiss coming. You probably did but you didn't know when it was going to happen so well, that's how I roll.

There's only going to be two more chapters before this story ends. I feel that sixteen chapters would be enough. If I go longer, I would be dragging it for no reason and I guess author's instincts kicks in when you know when your story feels like it should end.

Just leave a review on the way out! I thank you guys for sticking with me throughout this journey.

Until next time,
Spike
