CHAPTER 26
Previously...
- "Charlie, I want to be with you so much but pleased don't disappear like that again."
Charlie gently strokes her cheek and puts some hair behind her ear.
- "I promise I won't"
Now...
Joey kisses Charlie's lips not finding the strengh to stop. She knows she could do that forever without even stop. For the first time since a very long time, Joey lets herself be natural, and that's with Charlie. This woman can make her feel so many things she never imagined.
Charlie enjoys the feeling of being in Joey's arms. All the fears she had before had just go away when she saw Joey's eyes. When she is with her, all she can think about is to be closer and closer with her. But how all of this is going to be for the others ?
They still sit on the couch, not wanting to end this moment. Charlie puts her head on Joey's shoulder and lets her hand on her abs. Joey puts her arm around Charlie's waist and closes her eyes. She breathes Charlie's sent, wondering what she has done to have this chance.
- "Joey"
- "Yeah"
- "What are we doing ?"
- "What do you want to do ?"
- "I want to be with you but..."
- "You still afraid"
Charlie removes her head and looks on Joey's eyes.
- "I don't know, I guess it's just that I don't how they will react."
- "Because I'm not a guy"
- "yeah because of that but... also because a lot of people see you as a...bitch"
- "And you think I'm one too"
- "No ! No of course I don't ! it was what I first think when we met but now I know it's not who you really are"
- "Look Charlie, I want to be with you more than anything. And if you need time before everyone knows that maybe something is going on between us, then I will wait."
- "Thanks Jo."
- "So...are we together now or...do you want to wait a little more ?"
Charlie looks on Joey's eyes and smiles when she sees that she is a little anxious about the answer.
- "I think we are together"
Joey smiles and kisses Charlie's lips. She asks permission to enter her tongue and depends the kiss. Charlie is surprised when she hears herself moaning into Joey's mouth. She feels Joey's smile becoming bigger. Joey puts her hand on Charlie's tight and begins to slowly stroke it.
- "Wait Joey, please wait"
Both stop their kiss. Joey looks at Charlie.
- "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have."
- "It's just that I don't want to rush anything between us"
- "Yeah you're right"
- "Really ? I mean I know you have the reputation of...liking sex...so I..."
Joey anxiously smiles.
- "Charlie, yeah I like sex but I like you more than that so I can wait, okay ?"
- "Okay."
Joey strokes Charlie's cheek and gets up of the couch.
- "Well, I have to go at work"
- "Oh hu... yeah sure I will leave"
- "No that's not what I meant"
- "Yeah I know, but I have to go, Ruby should be waiting"
- "Okay"
Charlie gets up and takes her things. Joey watches her and can't help herself but smile.
- "When can I see you ?"
- "Hum... I don't know. I will give you a call."
- "I hope this time you will"
- "Yeah, I promise."
Charlie kisses Joey and walks to the door.
- "Charlie"
- "Yeah ?"
- "When I said that I like you it wasn't true."
Charlie turns with a questioning look.
- "The true is that I love you"
Charlie and Ruby are walking along the beach.
- "I'm glad you managed to sort things out with Joey."
- "Yeah, me too."
- "You are not the same since you know her. You seem to be more happy."
- "That's because I am. She is amazing."
- "I don't want to scare you Charlie, but honestly I don't know how Wats will react about this"
- "Yeah I know. I don't know either. That's why I asked Joey if maybe we could wait a little before to say it. I think I need time to be really okay with everything I feel."
- "So am I the one knowing ?"
- "Yeah. Of course I couldn't hide you it."
- "Especially when I knew before you what you were feeling !"
Charlie playfully snaps Ruby on her arm and both begin to laugh.
Aden climbs on the boat.
- "hey Jo"
- "Aden. What are you doing here ?"
- "Tell me about this morning"
- "Aden, please not now, I'm working okay ?"
- "oh c'mon Jo ! I can't wait !"
- "What do you want to know ?"
- "What did she tell you ?"
- "That she is sorry"
- "And...? I know she said something else or maybe did something else because you hadn't this smile this morning !"
- "Aden !"
- "What that's true ! C'mon, are you together ?"
- "Yeah but..."
- "I knew it !"
- "Aden ! Please stop ! For now she doesn't want to say it so shut up okay ?"
- "Okay okay ! But seriously Jo I'm really glad for you"
- "Thanks. Now get off of here before the boss sees you."
