CHARLES'S CHRISTMAS CAROL-27
Hello my dear friends. It's been quite a while, since I updated the story, but I haven't forgotten about it. It was a difficult week and I really need my escape from reality, so this chapter will be all about positive things-friendship, love and family happiness. Also, I making quite a huge skip in time. Hope you will like it.
July 1905
Elsie and Beryl were having a picnic with children, near the Carson's cottage. It was a really wonderful summer this year and they were enjoying the weather and spending time together. Now, when the family was away for the season, they both had much more free time and they could spend it on the open air. Beryl was feeling quite relaxed, having her another sip of the apple cyder and Elsie was nibbling some cherries.
The children were running around, making much noise and having a marvelous fun.
Charlie was almost nine now and he was a splendid pupil in the local school. He was extremely bright and he had absolutely no problems with learning. Both Charles and Elsie were very proud of him. He was such a sweet boy, not only a good pupil, but also a very helpful son. Whenever he had time, after school, he willingly went to the Abbey, to spent time with his father, helping him and his footmen in various, house tasks. He was so eager and he constantly amazed Charles with his knowledge about the function of the household. Everyone at the Abbey got used to little Charlie hanging around with the footmen or his father, helping him the best way he could. Lord Grantham-Robert, was often joking that he already has a job for him at the Abbey secured, as soon as little Charlie will finish his education.
There was also another reason why Charlie was so eager to spent time at the Abbey-that was Lady Sybil. Ever since they were brought up together, in the nursery, as babies, they were practically inseparable. They spent time together, running around the gardens, sneaking to Mrs Patmore's kitchen, just so they could have some of her delicious cookies, which she always secretly hid for them.
They loved to play hide and seek in the house and the Abbey was a perfect place to do that.
Charles felt very uncomfortable because of this friendship between Charlie and Lady Sybil. He thought that while it was understandable when they were little, it wasn't propriate now, but as soon as he noticed that nobody from that family had anything against that, he approved that, thinking that one way or antother, their paths will diverge one day..
The Carson twins-Victoria and Charlotte were so different, that people often didn't think that they were actually twins.
Victoria was Charles's favorite-as she was identical as her father. She was calm, full of dignity, extremely dutiful and sometimes even too serious for her age. Both girls were to celebrate their seventh birthday in few days. Victoria adored her father and she even willingly listened to his tales about ettiquete and rules, than fairytales. Elsie was sometimes joking, that the Abbey should create a job for a woman counterpart of the butler and Victoria would do perfect in that job. Elsie loved Victoria tremendously, as all her other children, but still there were many times, when she had difficulities to understand her.
Charlotte was a spitting image of Elsie. She looked exactly the way Elsie looked as a little girl and her character was like she was a mini copy of her. She had a strong will, a fierce temperament and she liked when all the things went exactly the way she wanted them to go. So whenever something was a little different than she planned, she was trying to reverse the situation, to adjust it to her needs. It was the easiest when her father was involved. Whenever Charlotte wanted something from daddy, it was enough that she sat on his laps, bit her lower lip and looked at him, with her pretty blue eyes and Charles was ready to turn the whole world upside down, just so his little Elsie copy got whatever she wanted.
The Carson children were joyful, full of life, but they also knew what discipline meant. They were all already in school, so Elsie was able to go back to work, but part time only, as before, because the Abbey was so used to having Mrs Brown around and Elsie was contended about it also, because it gave her real chance to spent more time with her family.
Beryl was helping her a lot, especially during last, few months, when Charles was away with the family in London. That was always the most difficult part of the year for them. They missed each other tremendously. Fortunately, Beryl was around, always eager to help Elsie with children.
They were both sitting at the blanket now, watching as the kids were playing with ball.
"Are you happy that Mr Carson is coming back home tomorrow?"
"More than happy. I missed him so much, not to mention the children. They all constantly asked when daddy will finally get home. Especially Victoria."
"Daddy's favorite...No wonder. It must be really difficult for you all to be separated that long."
"It it...Sometimes I just wish to tell Charles to quit this job and go to work to the factory, just so he could spent his afternoons and evenings with us, not to mention those few months, when he is away for the season."
"I doubt he would be willing to do that...Even for you...The Abbey is his life...Or was...Before you started a family.."
"He once told me that now Abbey is just his job and we are his world, but still, I would never ask him that..."
"I know you wouldn't...You have a perfect job situation here...They are letting you work half time and Charlie couldn't live without Abbey and Lady Sybil. They are such a good friends."
"They are...While all the children ask me when Charles will get home, Charlie can't stop talking about Sybil coming home too...They haven't seen each other for few months.."
"One day, when they will grow up, who knows? Maybe your families will unite, when Charlie will propose to Lady Sybil?"
"Mrs Patmore, please...If my husband heard you know, we would have to save him from heart attack.."
They both laughed, imagining Charles's reaction..
"He is an old grump, isn't he? I bet he misses you and can't wait for tomorrow..."
"Of course...He probably misses the children tremendously..."
"Well, I bet he misses other things as well.."
"Mrs Patmore, I ask you!"
"What? I was only refering to his wife's company and what were you reffering to?"
"Don't you play innocent with me Beryl Patmore. I know you too well!"
"I was only teasing you...Everyone knows that he is madly in love with you...Even though you are already almost ten years after the wedding.."
"Indeed we are...We will celebrate our tenth anniversary next year..."
"Amazing, how time flies..."
They both reached to their glasses with apple cider and raised a toast for love, friendship and all the good feelings in life...
The next day...
It was late, sunny afternoon and Elsie was hanging around in the kitchen, preparing lovely dinner for the family. She wanted it to be special, because Charles was coming home today and Elsie made all his favorite dishes. The children were playing outside and Elsie could finish preparing dinner in peace. Suddenly, she heard such a cacophony of different sounds from outside, screams, laughs and unbridle joy, that she knew it can only mean one thing..Charles was home...If she had any doubts about that, it would soon be erased, when girls were shouting that daddy came home. Elsie hurried outside the cottage, just to see a touching scene of Charles lifting both girls in his arms and kissing them in turns.
"My little, sweet princesses. I missed you both so much...How are you?"
"Daddy, daddy...I've grown about one inch since you were away. Mummy was measuring me..."-Charlotte was impatient to update daddy about her situation...
"And I have lost one tooth..Mummy said that a tooth fairy took it away from me.."-Victoria wasn't going to let her sister steal the thunder..."
"You have Charlotte? An inch? Now that's something...And don't worry about the tooth Victoria. I'm sure that the tooth fairy will give you another one in return..My sweethearts...I have to let you down now. You are getting quite heavy.."
The girls reluctantly left their father's arms and watched as daddy was saying hello to Charlie...
"And how is my brave son? Have you been taking care of the girls and mummy?"
"Yes daddy. Just like I promised..I was also watching your pantry at the Abbey, so everything would be in order there."
"That's my boy! Come to daddy.."-He lifted Charlie and gave him kiss in the cheek.
Elsie was still standing in the doorway, watching this scene with emotions in her heart...When Charles finished saying hello to his son, he finally noticed Elsie and his face has lighten up with a smile...
"Well hello Mrs Carson...The most beautiful woman in this village.."-he paced quickly and took Elsie in his arms, giving her the sweetest kiss on her lips...It was meant to be a short kiss, but neither of them were eager to stop it...
"Mummy and daddy are kissing! Mummy and daddy are kissing"-the girls were running around their parents, singing and this made them finally parted...
"Charles...I'm so glad you are home...We all missed you so much...The children were asking me like a thousand times each day when daddy will come home..."
"And that wonderful moment has finally arrived..."
"Couldn't wait for that...Come on home honey...Take your bags...I'm finishing preparing dinner..."
"Do you need any help love?"
"No sweetie...Just stay with the kids..They are craving your presence.."
"And you are not?"-Charles whispered into Elsie's ear..."
"Will talk about that later Charles..When kids will go to sleep.."
Charles smiled widely and took his bags from outside. Within the nearest hour, Elsie was finishing dinner and Charles was still outside with the children, playing ball and listening to all the things that they wanted to tell him and that was a lot...
When Elsie called them for dinner, they ate it, talking and talking about the season, the family, the Abbey, the school and all the othet things, that they didn't have time to write about in the letters that they were exchanging...
After the dinner the whole family helped Elsie to wash up and then it was time to prepare children to sleep. They were all reluctant to do that, but Elsie was adamant, when it came to homework, meals and sleep hour for the children...
Even though they were protesting, Elsie sent all of them to bath, one by one and then she came to the nursery, to read them a story, while Charles was having his bath...The children were so excited, that it was a difficult task to get them to sleep. When Charles finished his bath, he stepped into the nursery and took over the job of reading a story from Elsie. She went to the bathroom and Charles was reading to Charlie, Victoria and Charlotte.
Elsie finished her bath and went to their bedroom, she sat at her dressing table and she released her hair, brushing them..When she was looking at the mirror, she saw Charles entering the room and closing the door behind him...
"So did they fall asleep finally?"
"They did..All of them..Although at one point, I was sure that I will have to read them stories till the morning..."
"They've missed you very much..."
"As I missed them...And you know who I also missed very much?"
Charles crept behind Elsie's back and hugged her waist, planting sweet, sensual kisses on the side of her neck..She instinctavely tilted her head, enjoying the touch that she was longing to feel...
"Mmmm...Am I the lucky woman? Was it me that you were missing?"
Elsie closed her eyes and touched his forearms, while he was holding her so closely...She felt chills down her spine, when she touched a strong muscles of her husband...Years of being married to him, still didn't weak the passion, that was burning inside her or inside him...
"Most definitely it was you..Elsie Carson...You are the most beautiful and the most alluring woman in the world..I could barely handle those few months away from you...It's been too long..."
"I agree...Come on, my dear, sweet husband...Come to bed..."
"You don't have to say that twice..."
Charles kissed her with such fervor, that made her weak in the knees and he reached to the door, closing them with key. They installed this from the moment when the children started to walk, just to avoid awkward situations. When they were safe, they tore their clothes off, not giving and damn about where they threw them...They were lying all over the floor...But it didn't matter...They only wanted to be naked and feel each other's bodies so close..As close as it was possible...They've kissed hungrily, over and over again...Like they wanted to devour each other...
The touches, the caresses, the increasing desire, to feel, cherish and love one another...They had to stay quiet, not to wake the children, but little sighs, moans and groans, were escapaing their mouths, intertwining with whispers of love and their names, falling from their lips...When they reached a key moment of their intercourse, Charles was kissing Elsie tenderly, he stroked her body gently, while moving inside her and he watched with satisfaction, as she closed her eyes and how she kept on whispering his name, over and over again, as he slowly, but effectively was conducting her towards her release...
He, himself, was totally lost to the world at that moment...Finally, after moths of waiting and dreaming at night time, about the gorgeous body of his wife, he could remind himself how wonderfully it is to be with her, making love to her, in the pale light of the moon...He was close to his release and as he was about to withdraw from her, as they tend to do it over the last few years, to avoid another pregnancy, Elsie opened her eyes suddenly and asked him:
"Stay Charles...Don't go...Stay till the end...I want you to.."
"But Elsie..If you..If we..."
"It won't happen...Not after one time...I'm too old to get pregnant now...Please...Stay..."-she cupped his face in her hands and looked him in the eyes, with that meaningful expression...
It was enough for him...She didn't have to ask any more...Besides..There wasn't anything that he would want more at this moment, than to stay in her...
When they both reached their release, it was one of the strongest one that they've had...Charles never spoke about that with Elsie, but having sex in the "secure way", was not as satisfaying to him, as the full intercourse... Now, when he could finally reach the peak of his pleasure inside her, he felt like his life was complete again and Elsie felt the same...She missed having a full sexual intercourse with him..
When she opened her eyes and saw the blissful expression on his face, she couldn't help, but to kiss him again and again...She loved him tremendously and felt so loved and desired by him...
After they finished, they were both lying calmly in their arms, listening to the evening of their breaths, still caressing the different part of their bodies...
"I love you my sweet, little flower...I never knew that you could love someone that much..."
"I love you too my treasure...Welcome home..."
That's all for today...Writing can really be therapeutic...I feel so much better now..This is exactly like I imagine the Carson family...Full of love, laughter, good emotions..Charles and Elsie as parents would be perfect and I would so wish to see that in the series :-( Hope you liked this little portion of friendship, love and some sexy moments with Chelsie. My favorite mix. If you did, please let me know. Please stay safe and see you soon!
