There's a new Australian web series called Newtown Girls about the queer scene in Newtown and it has openly out actress, Kylie Watson (Shauna Bradley from HAA) in it. She's not in the first episode much but she certainly looks different to her time in the Bay.

Charlie spoons Joey when she climbs back into bed. "I was just about to come and check on you, are you ok?"

"Just a bit of an upset stomach." She rolls over to face Charlie, trying not to react when their breasts brush against each other. "Rachel warned me I might experience some nausea from the head injury for the next day or two but I'm ok now."

"She warned me too when I was hurt but I guess I was lucky enough to miss out on the nausea."

"Hopefully this will be a one off and at least I avoided getting stitches to my head; now that would have been uncomfortable."

Charlie gently caresses her face, being careful to avoid the bruise to her jaw. "How about this, it looks pretty bad this morning?"

"It's a little sore."

"I never even gave it a second thought when I was kissing you last night."

"Did you hear me complaining?" Joey answers with a smirk. Her breath catches when Charlie starts to rub her belly. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to make you feel better."

"That's not the only thing it's doing."

Charlie grins, loving the feel of Joey's belly tensing and fluttering beneath her hand. "I can make you feel even better," she whispers in her ear, her hand sliding temptingly lower.

"You're cruel," Joey says a little breathlessly as Charlie teases her. She wanted nothing more than to make love to Charlie, but she felt like she had to keep her vows so she'd have a clear conscious when she told Angelo it was over. Kissing was bad enough, but if she let Charlie have her way with her, she doubted she'd be able to face Angelo without being wracked by guilt and she felt bad enough about having to break his heart. Her hips had other ideas though, moving against her wishes and pressing her hard against Charlie's hand.

Smiling, Charlie runs her fingers over the thin material of Joey's panties. "Shit." Charlie pauses when she hears footsteps just outside the bedroom door.

Martha knocks gently. "Joey, are you ok, I heard you throwing up."

"I'm fine Martha."

"What about Charlie?"

Charlie winces. "Damn woman has ears like a bat," she mutters.

"She's fine too, just cursing your bat like ears."

"Cover up if you're not decent," Martha warns, opening the door and peering in, "I just noticed that your purse is on the coffee table, Charlie, that's how I knew you were here."

"Oh." Charlie glances at Joey, then the bed and back at Martha. "This isn't what it looks like."

"Two women in bed together, one of them married?"

"Ok, yeah, it does look like that but nothing happened, I was just comforting her."

"You don't have to explain Charlie but if you're here, then I'm guessing Joey's made a decision."

Joey nods. "I'm ending my marriage."

"I can't say that comes as a surprise and I'm happy you've reached a decision but there is a kid and a very tired girlfriend still tucked up in bed asleep and I'd like to keep them that way for the moment."

"We'll keep it quiet," Charlie promises, averting her eyes from Joey who was giving her a funny look after Martha had closed the door.

"Going by Martha's smirk, I'm guessing there was a reason why she said that to you?" Joey grins when Charlie blushes bright red. "Care to elaborate?"

"This isn't the first time I've spent the night here," she says after deciding it was better that Joey heard this from her and not from her cousin or Martha who would only be too happy to tell Joey and put their own embellishments on it. "And there was one particular night I wasn't alone and let's just say that loud isn't always a good thing."

"Oh?" Joey says, pretending to be clueless.

Charlie narrows her eyes at her. "I think you know exactly what I mean."

"You or your date screamed the house down in a moment of passion," she says with a completely straight face.

"It was my date and if I hadn't had a little too much to drink, I'd have realised just how loud she was." She shudders. "Do you know how embarrassing it was to walk into the kitchen the next morning to the looks Georgie and Martha were giving me and if that wasn't bad enough, Jay asked me if I was ok because he thought I had been in pain."

The laugh escapes from Joey before she could stop it. "I wish I had been there to see that," she says when she could talk again.

"Any time I stay overnight, there's always a reminder." She glares at Joey who was still laughing at her. "I see your jaw must be better with all that noise coming out." It was the wrong thing to say, setting off renewed laughter in Joey. Charlie rolls her eyes. "I'm really never going to live this down."

"Was she worth it?"

"I don't remember."

Joey snorts with laughter again. "I'm sorry baby," Joey finally says, snuggling up to Charlie. "And I promise to keep any screech of passion down to the bare minimum."

"If it was just the two of us in the house, I think I'd like to hear you screaming for me."

"Be careful what you wish for."

"I wished for you and it came true."

Joey stares into Charlie's eyes, seeing the love she had for her there. "I wish I hadn't waited so long to grant you your wish."

"We're together now, that's all that matters."

"I love you."

"I love you too but I think it's time for me to go home before I show you just how much I do."

"I so want to make love to you Charlie, I really do, it's just that."

"It's not the right time, I know, nor is this the right place." She cups Joey's cheek. "Now that we're together, I can wait." She smirks. "Not forever, mind you."

"I plan on telling Angelo as soon as possible and then," she kisses Charlie in a way that leaves them both a little breathless. "Then we can be together properly."

"Now I really need a cold shower," Charlie murmurs. "But I should be heading home," she adds with a sigh of resignation. "I need to shower and get a new uniform before work."

"Shower here and borrow one of Georgie's shirts."

Charlie smiles at Joey. "I can stay for another hour, then I do need to get up and get ready for work."

"An hour is fine, plenty of snuggle time," Joey murmurs, resting her head on Charlie's shoulder. "This feels so right."

"It feels the best," Charlie concurs, the happiest she had felt in a long time. She hardly expected it to be smooth sailing once word got out about her and Joey, but for the moment, she was content to revel in the feelings and knowledge she finally had the woman of her dreams in her arms.
