I'm glad to see that so many people enjoy reading my story. It makes me glad to write it. I'm starting to think that I'll probably end up writing quite a few Chuckie/Angelica stories, much to the joy of all you Chuckie/Angelica fans out there!

Chapter 7: An evening with the one I love. Part 1.

For the rest of the previous day and today, Chuckie and Angelica were happier than anyone had seen them in what could well have been years. Angelica was brushing her hair (yet again) when Tommy came in. There were a few hours to go before Chuckie and Angelica would go on their date and Angelica had decided to make a start at getting ready.

"Hey Tommy." She said cheerfully and smiling at him via the reflection on the mirror.

"Hey Angie. Are you looking forward to your date tonight?" Tommy asked. His question was as rhetorical as you could get.

"Of course. Wouldn't you?"

"Well...no. I don't think I'd like the idea of going on a date with Chuck...I'd prefer to go with a girl." He replied jokingly.

Angelica smirked.

"Still have that sense of humour I see. It's gonna be a great night...I'm so happy."

"Yeah, we all kind of noticed when you two said that you were going out on a date with each other tonight and then spent the next hour or so in each others arms kissing." Tommy stated.

Angelica thought about that heavenly hour. "Are you alright with this?" She eventually asked. Angelica wasn't sure if Tommy was fine with the idea that she and Chuckie had officially become an item.

"Of course I am. Chuckie is my best friend, I know him inside out. He wouldn't want to hurt you and besides, you two are made for each other so why should I interfere?" Tommy said.

Angelica was relieved that he was so adamant with his view on the two of them. Nice to know that he would not stop them from being happy together.

"Thanks Tom. You can really be a girl's best friend sometimes." She said smiling at him sweetly.

"I'd rather be some girl's boyfriend but hey, there's plenty of fish in the sea for me to cast my rod at." Tommy replied.

"I doubt that you will have to look very hard to find your perfect partner." She said encouragingly.

"Thanks cuz." Tommy said as he left the room.

Angelica started to hum a tune as she started to put some make-up on. By nature, Angelica was a fairly vain person but she felt there was nothing wrong in making yourself more beautiful with a little lipstick and such. Hopefully Chuckie wouldn't mind, but then again, he didn't really have a reason to mind and even if he did, he would eventually get used to it.

In the other room, Chuckie had decided on what to wear and had asked Kimi and Lil for their opinion on his outfit. He also wanted their advice on impressing Angelica but they had already told him that all he had to do was look good and be polite...something Chuckie had done a lot over the past years (the politeness at any rate).

"So, how do I look?" He asked the two girls.

"You look great Chuckie." Kimi said giving him a thumbs-up.

"Yeah, you look very nice. I'm sure Angelica will be impressed." Lil agreed.

"Thanks. It's gonna be strange going out in casual clothes...but at least they are smart casual clothes. Still wish I had a suit to wear." Chuckie told them. He had a suit back home, but he didn't know that he would end up going on a date with his former nemesis.

"Don't worry about a thing tonight bro. You will do fine and by the end of our holiday here, the two of you will not be able to leave each other alone." Kimi said, sniggering.

Chuckie wanted to deny that statement, yet it sounded alright to him.

"Yeah, I hope so sis."

This statement took Kimi by surprise and she looked shocked at her brother.

"Mm, sounds like you want a piece of Angelica tonight." Lil teased.

"Well...kind of. I mean that it will be nice to spend a number of hours alone with her..." He trailed off as he started to daydream. A big grin grew on his face.

"We better leave him to finish his little fantasy. No doubt he would like it to come true." Lil said to Kimi as they left.

They headed downstairs where they joined the others.

"So? Is he nervous?" Dil asked.

"He doesn't look or seem to be nervous; in fact he looks excited about going out with her." Lil said.

"Hey great! Angelica is looking forward to it as well." Tommy told them.

"I tell you guys, this is the happiest I have seen Angelica in years, and I expect that it is the same for Chuckie as well." Susie told them.

"Yeah, Chuckie was content with life for the past number of years, but now he seems over the moon." Kimi said.

****

A few hours later Chuckie came down.

"Hey, it's the man of the hour." Phil said as Chuckie came into the lounge.

"Hey guys." Chuckie said.

"Raring to go Chuck?" Susie asked.

"You bet your horses I am. I'm really looking forward to this." He replied confidently.

"You sure look it. Have a nice time Chuck." Dil said as he went passed him and upstairs.

The others then heard Dil give a wolf whistle.

"Stop it Dil! Your gonna embarrass me." They heard Angelica say.

Chuckie turned and froze. His gaze was transfixed on his date as she came down.

'Wow, she's gorgeous!' He thought.

"Hey everyone." Angelica greeted all of them cheerfully.

"You look great Angelica." Kimi said.

"Yeah, wouldn't mind a piece of you myself!" Phil added.

They all looked at Phil except for Chuckie whose gaze was still fixed on Angelica.

"What? Can't I compliment her?"

"Saying that you want her isn't complimenting her you jerk! You're not the ultimate guy who has girls swooning over his every step!" Lil scolded him. "Besides, she belongs to Chuckie."

"Oh...sorry everyone. You look very nice Angelica." Phil said, looking at the floor.

Angelica looked at Chuckie and smiled at him.

"Ready to go?" She asked.

There was no response.

"Uh...Chuckie?" She asked, tapping his shoulder.

"Hmm? Sorry, I thought that I had been transported to Heaven when I saw you." He replied, smiling proudly at his compliment to her.

Angelica blushed.

"Chuckie, I'll give you ten minutes to cut that out. Now let's go as I'm eager to get this date started."

"Okay, later guys!" Chuckie said as he opened the door. He held his left arm out and Angelica looped her arm through his as they went to the car.

"Have a great time you two!"

"Try not to make too much noise in the back seat!" Phil shouted.

Chuckie and Angelica both blushed.

"Fuck off you retard!" The both shouted.

PHIL! IN! NOW!" Lil shouted, dragging Phil in by his ear.

"Ow! Not the ear!" He protested as Chuckie started the car up.

****

Later, they arrived at the restaurant that Chuckie had booked them in at. It was not completely posh (so they were fine with casual wear) but it was good enough.

"Good evening sir. How may I help you?" The head waiter asked Chuckie as he came in.

"Hi, I've reserved a table for 8.30 under the name of Mr. Finster." Chuckie told him.

The waiter looked down his list.

"Ah yes. Follow me sir."

Chuckie and Angelica were shown to their seats.

"Do you like?" Chuckie asked his date.

"Yeah, I'm impressed Chuck." Angelica replied, smiling sweetly.

"Did I ever tell you that you look so cute when you make that face?" He asked.

"Not until now, you handsome flirt." She responded starting to blush.

Chuckie grinned. He felt that they were going to have a wonderful night.

"What would you like to drink?" Chuckie asked. He had noticed a bar within the restaurant. It was to one side so no-one who was eating would be right next to it.

"Erm...Get me a Carlsberg Export." Angelica said.

"Carlsberg Export? Where did you drink one of those?" Chuckie asked.

"When Tommy, Dil and I were out we stopped at a bar and I decided to try one. It was nice." She explained.

Chuckie got up and went to the bar to get their drinks. Angelica watched him walk off and sighed.

'He is some man. I'm glad I picked on him when we were younger otherwise I might not be here with him now. I wonder what he has planned for the rest of the evening.' Angelica thought to herself. She knew they were going to eat out, but nothing else. She suspected that he had talked about it with Tommy as he knew her best so he knows what she likes and dislikes.

He came back carrying two drinks.

"One Carlsberg Export for you and one Coke with ice and a lemon slice for me."

"No alcohol?"

"As the driver, I cannot drink." Chuckie wanted to drink but he had a responsibility.

"Fair enough. So, what to eat?" She asked herself as she looked at the menu.

Both of them found it hard to decide on what to eat as virtually everything sounded so good.

"A nice bit of Spicy Cajun Chicken will do me nicely." Angelica said.

"You like hot food?" Chuck asked her.

"Yeah. Nothing better than something hot to eat. Anyway, what are you going to have?"

"I was thinking about the Mixed Grill." Chuckie replied.

One of the waiters came to their table.

"Are you ready to order sir?" He asked Chuckie.

"Yes. I would like the Mixed Grill please."

"Excellent choice sir, and you madam?"

"I would like the Spicy Cajun Chicken."

"Excellent." The waiter said as he left.

"Have you ever been to Mexico, Chuckie?" Angelica asked him.

Chuckie was curious.

"No. Why?"

"Just wondered as I have. I was on vacation with my parents and wow! The food there is the hottest thing I have ever tasted. I downed about thirty gallons of water after every meal just to cool myself off. So one bit of advice, don't go there. Apart from the burning-of-the-mouth routine every day, it was alright. Don't get me wrong, the food did taste nice but it was far too hot for my liking. I expect Indian food in India is exactly the same." Angelica told him. She wasn't too sure why she had told him this. Maybe she just wanted to make conversation.

"I haven't had anything like that. But there was one vacation when I spent some time being treated for poison from a snake." Chuckie said. That vacation was a waste to him and very much life threatening.

"Oh my God! What happened?" Angelica was concerned.

"Well, we were on vacation and I decided to explore the surrounding area of where we were staying. Tropical climate, you know, sun shining brightly, incredibly hot and so on. Anyway, I went into the nearby forest and started to look around. Unknowingly, I trod on a snake, couldn't remember what type of snake, but it was not too happy and attacked me. I tried to run away from it, but it was able to bit the back of my right leg and inject a small amount of poison before the motion of my leg running kicked it off. I yelled and fell over...the next thing I remember was waking up in hospital surrounded my mom, dad, Kimi and doctors and nurses." Chuckie explained.

"Oh Chuckie!"

"From what I was told, Kimi was out exploring and she heard me scream and she found me. I can only presume that she dragged me home and shouted to mom and dad to get an ambulance out to me. Really, I owe her my life." Chuckie finished.

Tears had formed in Angelica's eyes. She couldn't believe it.

"How long ago was this?"

"Three years ago."

Angelica looked shocked. All these years she has been a real bitch to him...and now she knows that he was nearly taken from her...

"Are you alright?" Chuckie asked, reaching across the table to lay a hand on her shoulder.

She looked at him. She could not think of anything to say to him.

"Look, it's in the past and I'd rather live in the present...with you at my side." He said, smiling at his date.

Angelica smiled and looked deep into his eyes.

"You're right."

****

"You know guys, it's boring here. Why don't we go out tonight?" Dil suggested to the others as they watched TV.

"Guess so. It's not as fun without Chuckie and Angelica to amuse us with their antics of sex, love and hate." Phil said.

"PHIL! Stop thinking that they are gonna be making out all night long!" Lil shouted at her twin.

"Come on guys! They are all over each other! I bet you that if we all go out and they get back before us, they'll sleep together. I bet you that will happen!" Phil said, encouraging them to take him up on his bet.

"How much?" Tommy asked.

"Twenty pounds!"

"Make it ten and you got a deal." Kimi told Phil.

"Alright, ten pounds. If they are in bed together, you pay me, if they ain't, I pay you."

"You're on." Kimi said.

"I'll bet." Tommy said.

"Count me in." Susie told them.

"I'm gonna make me some money." Dil said.

"Count me out. It's wrong to bet on other people. If they wanna sleep together, then let them. If they don't then they don't. It's sick that you all don't respect their privacy." Lil angrily said to them.

"You gonna come out with us then?" Tommy asked.

"Of course. I wanna drink." Lil replied.

"I'll leave them a note saying that we've gone out." Tommy told them as he picked up a piece of paper and a pen.

****

"Are you enjoying your meal?" Chuck asked Angelica.

"Yeah, it tastes great." She said in-between mouthfuls.

"I hoped you would. You look so lovely when you are happy." Chuckie couldn't help letting a small laugh come out when he said that.

'She is so gorgeous. Why didn't I notice her like this before? Am I oblivious to the opposite sex or something?' He thought.

Angelica smiled at him, chewing on her food.

He really is a real gentleman. God how I love him. I wonder if he's gonna make a move on me tonight...I certainly wouldn't mind.' She thought.

They ended up concentrating on looking at each other than eating. Their chewing became slow and it seemed to take a lot of effort to actually eat.

"Wanna piece of beef?" Chuckie asked.

"Yeah."

Chuckie stabbed a piece with his fork and held it in front of Angelica.

She went to grab it with her teeth when he jerked his hand back causing her to bite down on air.

"Hey!" She said.

Some people started to look at the pair as Chuckie kept pulling his fork away at the last second to stop Angelica from eating the piece of meat.

"C'mon Chuckie! Give me my meat!"

"You want it? Come and get it, beautiful!"

Angelica blushed.

"Aww, come on. I'll give you a...kiss." She said in a seductive voice.

'God she makes it sound so sexy! She really knows how to turn me on.' Chuckie thought.

Angelica saw her chance, Chuckie was distracted for a few moments and she was able to grab his arm to stop him from pulling away. Then she was able to chomp down on the meat and yank it off his fork. She thrust a fist into the air triumphantly as she chewed on the meat.

"Bloody Yanks." They heard someone say.

****

I just went on a writing spree and wrote most of this chapter today. I can't be bothered to write the rest of it in this chapter, so I'll make it into a 2 part.

Anyway, things seem to be going well between Chuckie and Angelica. Phil and his bet, I mean, that is just plain wrong. Is he on drugs? Lil seems to be the only one who respects their privacy (and she probably doesn't want to lose any of her cash either). Please R&R as always. Chuckie and Angelica forever!
