Fate: The Next Life
Reunion
The House:
"Charlie? Were home!" Claire called as her and Kate slipped into the door, both giggling and laughing as quietly as possible so as not to wake up the kids. The living room was empty. "He might be asleep...I'm gonna get a drink. You want anything?" Claire questioned, glancing back at Kate as she headed into the kitchen.
"How about some asprine? My head is killing me" Kate explained, plopping down on the couch. "Asprine, check" Claire assured with a laugh as she wondered into the kitchen, stopping dead in her tracks when she saw Jack standing across from her.
She may have screamed if she could get herself to speak, but instead she just stood there in shock. "What's wrong?" Kate questioned from the living room. "Claire?" She appeared in the door way seconds later, a look of surprise on her face.
"Jack..." She said softly, holding onto the door frame. For a moment she looked as if she were about to faint. "Um...I'll leave you two alone..." Claire suggested awkwardly, and headed back out again. "Kate, I made a huge mistake-" Jack began, as soon as Claire had disappeared.
"No, I did" Kate interrupted, looking down at the floor. "What? Kate, I don't understand-" Jack began, stareing at her in confusion. "I cheated on you. I'm the one who made the mistake, not you" Kate explained softly.
"That doesn't give me the right to leave you on our wedding night" Jack defended. "Well...I guess we both ow each other an apology" Kate suggested with a shrug. Jack couldn't help but smile a little as he walked over to her.
"I'm sorry" he sighed after a moment, standing less than a foot away. "I'm sorry too" Kate replied, pulling her arms around his neck. A grin swept across his face before he bent his head to kiss her.
upstairs:
"Ahem" Claire appeared in the door way, raising an eye brow at Charlie, who layied across the bed. "Its about time you got home" He noted, lifting his head to look at her. "Yeah, you could have warned me about the Jack lurking in our kitchen...scared the hell out of me" She explained, makeing her way in and plopping down on the bed beside her.
"Well I tried to call you but you didn't answer your cell phone" Charlie explained accusingly. "Oh...I probably couldn't hear it over the music" Claire shrugged simply. Charlie rolled onto his side, raising an eye brow at her. "Music?" he questioned skeptically.
"Uh,oh ...busted" Claire sighed, looking down at the blankets before her. "Busted is right. Leaving me here alone you can go party with your friends" Charlie scolded teasingly. "You know how hard it is to rock two kids to sleep at the same time?"
"Sorry..." Claire shrugged innocently, flashing that sweet little smile. "don't give me that look. Its not gonna work this time, missy" Charlie went on, playfully, hoping off the bed. "Well...I could make it up to you" Claire suggested, swinging her feet back and forth over the edge bed.
"Oh! and then I had to give Jack a freaking pep talk, because now apparently he's taking advice from me, witch makes no since-" Charlie had begun to ramble, but was cut off as Claire's lips meet his. She pulled back after a moment and smiled, hands cupped around his neck.
"All's forgiven" he assured, taking in a deep breath. "Great. Now I can sleep" Claire exclaimed, hoping back onto the bed. Charlie stared at her in bewilderment, then shook his head as if offended. Claire hand already burrowed under the blankets, witch she held to her chin.
"What?" She questioned playfully, as if she didn't know. "Cheater" He muttered accusing. "Charlie, I have no idea what your talking about" She assured sacracsticly, trying hard not to smile. "Fine...you don't want me any more, I understand" he sniffed sacracsticly.
"Aw, Charlie. Come here" Claire sighed sympathetically, patting the empty space beside her. A grin crossed his face as he crawled into the bed beside her.
Next morning:
"Well, your up early" Claire noted as she slid into a chair at the kitchen table. "I never went to sleep" Charlie explained, simply. "What? Your crazy" Claire shook her head in wonder. "I couldn't..." he shrugged, leaning his elbows on the table.
"So what did you do?" Claire questioned curiously. 'Um...laid there for a while, walked around, tried to take a shower, but lights in the bath room wouldn't work, again" he explained, slightly aggravated. "Yeah...we really need to get that fixed" she nodded simply.
"No kidding" he agreed, brushing a hand back through his hair. Claire looked around for a moment, realizing something was missing. "Where's Kate?" She questioned curiously. "They're upstairs still" he replied casually. "Man, what kind of make up sex keeps you in bed past afternoon?" Claire questioned sarcastically.
"You just woke up" he reminded, flashing her a suggestive grin. "Shut up" She gave him a playful nudge, blushing slightly. "Oh, guess who called?" Charlie remembered all of a sudden.
"Who?" Claire questioned curiously, unable to think of any one who would call them this early in the morning. "Hurly" Charlie answered with a grin. "Hurly! Oh my god, I haven't heard from him in so long! What did he say?" Claire questioned excitedly. "He's here, in Australia. Taking up on a little vacation time. Said he wants to stop by" Charlie replied, leaning back in his chair, hands behind his head.
"Wow, that's great" Claire grinned as she wondered over to the fridge. "Yeah, I was thinking we'd invite the whole group over. Just like old times...except less disaster and more alcohol" Charlie suggested casually. "Sounds like fun" Claire nodded, taking a seat after getting herself a drink.
"You know its weird, I don't know what I'd do without having the gang around" He mused, stareing up at the ceiling. "I think its because they're so crazy it makes us look normal" Claire noted, with a laugh. "Ahem. Who are you calling crazy?" Kate's voice questioned sarcastically from the door way.
"Obviously someone doesn't remember much of last night" Claire replied conspicuously, playing with the straw in her chocolate milk. "Oh, I remember. After all, I didn't have anything to drink" Kate noted, accusingly as she opened up the fridge.
"Neither did I!" Claire exclaimed defensively. "You weren't acting like it" Kate giggled teasingly. Claire shook her head in disbelief, noticering the questioning look Charlie was giving her. "I wasn't drunk" She insisted once again.
"I didn't say anything" Charlie defended, holding his hands up as if surrendering. "Yeah... well...you were thinking it" She replied accusingly, taking a sip from the straw. "How do you know what I was thinking?" He questioned, raising an eye brow.
"You had that look" Claire answered, playfully. "What look?" Charlie questioned, curiously. "That little look you get when ever a dirty thought pops into your head" Claire explained teasingly. "Wow. He must look like that a lot" Kate muttered, from the counter.
A little smirk crossed Charlie's face. "Oh, look. There it is!" Kate pointed out, laughing along with Claire. "What!" Charlie demanded, still not getting it. "Aw, with the little smirk and twinkling eyes, its quite adorable" Claire teased, trying not to laugh.
"Shut up" Charlie mumbled playfully, berrying his face into his arms, witch were crossed over the table. "Aw, I think were embarrassing him" Kate noted sacracsticly, resting a hand on the back of Claire's chair.
"Ok, ok. We'll stop" Claire assured, sympathetically, grabbing his hand across the table. "Charlie, come on" she instead, pulling at his arm in attempt to get him to look up. "Your mean. Leave me alone" he pouted childishly.
"Fine...you can sit here and sulk. I'm going upstairs to take a shower" Claire explained, in a motherly tone as she slid out of her seat. Charlie's head went up. "Can I come with?" he questioned hopefully, hair still messy from being pressed agenst his arms. "Nope" Claire replied sweetly, before disappearing up the stairs. "Damn" he muttered, disappointedly, resting his chin on his knuckles. "Aw, poor boy" Kate pretended to sympathize, patting him on the head like a dog. Charlie made a mimicking face as she sat down.
He was to busy stareing at the table to notice that Dina had hopped up onto the surface and was now stareing right at him. A little meow caught his attention, and also caused him to jump in surprise, nearly falling out of his chair.
Kate began cracking up histaricly across the table. "Bloody hell" Charlie grumbled in aggravation as the little kitten began to rub agenst his hand.
Upstairs:
Claire could hear laughter breaking out from downstairs as she wondered up the steps. Though curious of what was going on, she decided it would be best to just keep going. After all, she was still tired and the shower was calling.
She rolled her eyes as the lights began to flicker as soon as she reached the top of the steps. Before fading out into darkness. Note to Claire, call an electrician today...
The bath room door was cracked less than an inch, the light from inside shining out along the floor in gold. She became aware of the sound of water running inside. The shower was on. Slowly, she made her way over to the door, the beam of light falling across her hand as she reached for the knob.
She'd gotten too used to the flickering lights to be scared, but she still got a strange feeling about it, especially now. The water went off at the second her hand touched the knob, witch made her jump back momentarily. She sighed, in relief, and rolled her eyes once again.
This is silly, there's nothing to be afraid off. The pluming is just as screwy as the lights. Open the door...
Her hand gripped the knob once again, and she pulled open the door, to see Jack inside before her. "Claire!" he exclaimed, jumping in surprise and quickly covering himself with a towel.
Claire stood in the door way, eyes wide in surprise, a hand holding her chest as if her heat was about to jump out. "My god, don't you knock?" He questioned, breathlessly, tieing a knot at the ends of the towel.
"It was open..." She explained in her defense, still a little in shock. "Oh..." he nodded, the shrugged casually as if it were no big deal. "Alright, well. All yours" he flashed her a smile before nudging past her, and makeing his way into his room. Claire stood there for a moment, a confused look across her face.
Woo...what just happened here? I just saw Jack...naked...I can't believe this...well, he didn't seem to care...god, I can't belie that just happened...ok, Claire...calm down...
"Claire?"
Claire jumped at the sound of her name, and turned quickly, nearly falling into the door. "Are you ok...?" Kate questioned, eyeing her strangely. "I just saw Jack naked" Claire blurted out, before Kate could even finish her sentence. "What?"
"I Just saw Jack, naked" Claire repeated, still in aw of the situation. "Oh..." Kate nodded, looking a little confused at first, then a smile grew across her face. "Well...what did you think?"
"What?" Claire questioned in astonishment. "What did you think?" Kate repeated conspicuously, grinning like a school girl. "I...I didn't think anything!" Claire insisted, still a little bewildered.
"Oh come on! You have to have thought something" Kate insisted, giving her a playful nudge. "Why are you asking me this?" Claire questioned in confusion. "I dunno. I'm just curious" Kate shrugged, casually. "Come on, just tell me what happened"
Claire shook her head in wonder. "I just opened the door, and there he was!" Claire explained, giving a little gesture towards the shower. "You didn't knock?" Kate questioned, raising an eye brow. "The door was open..." Claire explained, brushing her hair back behind her ear.
"Ok...so was he just naked, or naked naked?" Kate questioned, showing complete interest. "What? What's the difference?" Claire questioned, eying her strangely. "I mean, did you see every thing, or could you just tell he was naked?" Kate clarified.
"I...I don't wanna talk about this" Claire explained, and began heading down the hall. "I knew it! He was naked, naked!" Kate exclaimed, fallowing close behind her. "What did he do when he saw you?" she continued, ignoring Claire's remark.
"He...he covered up" Claire explained, getting a little agrivateed. "With his hands?" Kate stopped, raising an eye brow. "No, with a towel... can we please stop talking about this?" Claire begged, turning to face her.
"Fine..." Kate sighed, leaning a hand agenst the wall. For a moment the stood in the hall uncomfortably. The lights had returned some time during their conversation. "So...dose this mean I get to see Charlie naked?"
"What!" Claire exclaimed, stareing at Kate in confusion. "Well, you got to see my boyfriend naked. Its only fair" Kate shrugged. "I didn't want to see him naked!" Claire defended, gesturing wildly.
"Oh, so you think theres something wrong with my boyfriend? Like he's not good enough for you?" Kate questioned accusingly, placing a hand on her hip. "Kate!" Claire exclaimed, still in astonishment. "Calm down, I'm just kidding..." Kate assured, playfully. "Well, its not funny" Claire pouted, crossing her arms. "What's not funny?" Charlie questioned, appearing at the top of the steps. "Claire saw Jack naked" Kate explained, before Claire could speak.
"What?" Charlie questioned, rasing an eye brow. "It was an accident" Claire assured, rolling her eyes slightly. "Yeah,...right" Kate scoffed sacracsticly. "Kate!" Claire shoot her a protesting look. "I'm just kidding Claire. Charlie, you know I'm kidding, right?"
"Claire, its ok. People walk in on people all the time" Charlie assured, laying a hand on her shoulder. "Are you sure?" Claire questioned, softly. "Positive" he confirmed with a smile. Claire sighed, in relief, arms still crossed.
"So...what did you think?" he questioned curiously, after a moment of silence. "God dammit" Claire shook her head, and headed off down the hall way, leaving the two giggling behind her.
Later that day:
"So, did you guys here from Hurly?" Shannon questioned from the couch. "Yeah, he called this morning. Say's he's gonna stop tomorrow" Charlie explained from the chair across from her. "You didn't tell me this" Kate noted, as if offended.
" Well, I kind of forgot about it...what with the incident, and all" Charlie explained simply. A smile crossed both their faces. Claire, who stood in the corner near the kitchen placed a hand to her forehead. Oh god, not this again...
"What incident?" Shannon questioned curiously. "Claire walked in on Jack while he was in the shower" Kate explained, glaceing back at Claire, who rolled her eyes in annoyance, crossing her arms once again.
"Really?...was he naked?" Shannon asked, conspicuously. "Yep" Kate confirmed with a nod. "Oh wow... your lucky" She explained, turning to Claire. "Lucky?" Claire questioned in confusion.
"Yeah, I know I wouldn't mind seeing Jack in the shower" Shannon explained shamelessly. "Hey..." Kate turned, shooting her a warning look. "What? I'm just saying...he's an attractive guy" Shannon shrugged innocently.
"That is true" Kate agreed with a nod. "So, wait...was he actually in the shower...or just getting out?" Shannon questioned, turning to Claire. "Oh my god...I am not talking about this" Claire confirmed, pacing back and forth.
"Why not? Its not every day you see a super hot guy naked" Shannon huffed persistently. "Hey!" Charlie gasped, as if offended. "Oh, you don't count" Shannon explained, with a roll of her eyes.
"What do you mean 'I don't count'?" Charlie questioned defensively. "Because, you two are married. She sees you naked all the time" Shannon certified, as if reading from a rule book. "Oh...fair enough" Charlie shrugged, and leaned back into his chair.
"Alright, so Claire...you were saying?" Shannon questioned, turning her attention back to her. "I wasn't saying anything!" Claire insisted, growing more and more annoyed with there questions. "Oh come on! What's the big deal?" Shannon questioned persistently.
"I...I just don't want to talk about it" Claire explained with a shrug. "Why not?" Kate chimed in. "Because-"
"Because why?" the two asked in unison. "Because it's weird!" Claire confirmed in aggravation. "No its not..." Kate insisted. "Guys, come on. Leave her alone" Charlie suggested, pulling his arm around Claire's waist.
"Ok, fine" Kate sighed, in agreement. "Hey, guys. What's going on?" Jack questioned as he walked into the room. The whole group was awkwardly quiet. "What...this isn't about this morning, is it?" He questioned, looking back and forth.
"Well...yes, but...Claire doesn't want us to talk about it" Kate explained calmly, hands folded on her lap. "Oh...why not?" Jack questioned curiously, turning to Kate. Claire pouted, and layied her head on Charlie's shoulder.
"Lets just...change the subject" Charlie suggested, patting Claire's arm symthaeticly. "Good idea" Kate agreed. "So...where's my buddy? I haven't seen him in a while" Shannon spoke up, taking it on her own to change the subject.
"He's with Liam and Michelle. They're trying to get him and Megan to be friends" Claire explained, lifting her head once again. "Aw...that's cute" Shannon beamed. "Yeah...he'll be playing with dolls in no time" Charlie muttered sarcastically.
Claire rolled her eyes and gave him a playfully smack on the chest. "Are the girls upstairs?" Shannon questioned curiously. "yep...should be wake up soon, too" Charlie answered, glancing up at Claire. "Yeah, I better get up there" She noted, pulling herself up. "Oh! Can I help?" Shannon questioned hopefully.
"Of course, I could use an extra hand" Claire explained, shooting an accusing look at Charlie. "Excuse me...I dealt with them last night at three o'clock in the morning when you were sleeping" Charlie explained defensively.
"Alright, come on Shan, lets go" Claire suggested, and headed up the stairs. "Ungrateful wife" Charlie grumbled to himself. "Annoying husband" Claire called back down from the steps. Charlie's eyes trailed across the room for a moment before they caught the glances that Jack and Kate were giving each other.
"Charlie, would you excuse us for a moment?" Jack questioned, without taking his eyes off Kate. 'Uh...no" Charlie scoffed, makeing no attempt to move. "Charlie?" Kate pleaded, shooting him a look.
"Bitch, this is my house. Your room's upstairs" Charlie explained playfully, still refusing to move. "Fine...come on, Jack...lets go upstairs" Kate suggested, taking his hand as she headed towards the staircase.
"Have fun" Charlie flashed them both a grin as the disappeared upstairs.
Later that day:
"Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow" Shannon sighed, pulling on her coat. "Bye sweeties" She gave each of the girls a kiss on the forehead. "Bye Shannon" Charlie teased, holding the door open. "Aw, Bye Charlie" Shannon grinned, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Ew, Codies!" Charlie exclaimed childishly. "Bye Shannon" Claire added, trying not to laugh. Shannon gave her a quick hug, careful of the Baby in Claire's arms before heading towards the door. Charlie pushed it shut behind her, then whipped his cheek with the palm of his hand as if he would get a desase.
"So, where did Jack and Kate run off to?" Claire questioned, lowering herself to the floor. "To the bed room, of course" Charlie explained, taking a seat beside her. "I should have know" Claire shook her head, laying Gabby on the baby blanket that was spread out on the floor infront of her.
"Yes, well...lets just be glad they're not makeing to much noise" Charlie noted, Sitting Geni in his lap. "I swear, she gets bigger every time a look at her" He noted, looking down at the wide eyed blond who sat in his lap.
"Well, it seems like every time I look at this little one she's sleeping" Claire explained, indicating to Gabby, who's eyes had already slid shut as she sprawled out on the blanket. "Hmm...wonder who she got that from" Charlie mused sarcastically.
"Shut up" Claire gave him a playful nudge. Geni saw this, and repeated the gesture, grinning as she gave Charlie a tiny smack on the chest. "Oh no, they're ganging up on me" Charlie noted playfully, watching Geni giggle as she repeated the gesture. "Parent abuse! Woo, watch it, luv. That's where I keep my nipple" Charlie explained, taking her hand away from the particular spot on his chest.
Claire couldn't help but laugh as she watched Geni make an attempt at biting his hand, though it didn't do much good without having teeth. "Man, she's really kicking your ass" Claire noted, playfully.
"Yeah she is. Here, beat up mummy" Charlie suggested, lifting her into Claire's lap. But Geni just giggle loudly and stared up at him. "Oh I see. You two are a team" Charlie confirmed, teasingly. "Yep. We should fight crime" Claire noted, tilting her head to look down at the little girl in her lap.
"Hmm, might want to wait until she grows some teeth" Charlie suggested, looking down at the little slobber mark she'd left on his hand. "Well, I have teeth" Claire reminded, laying Geni down next to Gabby, who was fast asleep.
"Oh yeah? Bite me" Charlie grinned, daringly. Claire gave a little smile before she slowly leaned in and began to nibble on his neck. "Ahhh, that's cheating!" Charlie exclaimed, makeing no attempt to move away. Claire rested her forehead agenst his shoulder, trying not to laugh.
"Well, I didn't say stop" Charlie continued, looking down at her. 'Hmm...maybe later" Claire assured, sitting back up. "Alright...I'll be sure to remind you" Charlie agreed with a sigh. "I'm sure you will" Claire flashed him a smile as she shifted into a laying position, resting her chin on her knuckles.
"I don't believe this! Its eight o'clock and they're both asleep...our kids our perfect" Claire mused, looking down at the two girls who had drifted off to sleep on they're little blanket. "Well, what did you expect? After all, we made them" Charlie noted, laying a hand on her back.
"I remember" Claire replied playfully, flashing him a suggestive smile. "Ok, first you make a move for my neck, and obvious week spot, and now your makeing sexual comments...are you trying to tell me something, miss Claire?" Charlie questioned playfully, tilting his head to the side.
"...Maybe" Claire shrugged, biting her lip. "I knew it! Your trying to get into my pants, again! It's the same thing night after night! I'm not a machine, you know!" Charlie ranted Sacracsticly.
"Aw, I'm sorry" Claire apologized sympathetically. "Oh, don't be! I was kidding. I really am a machine as a matter of fact" he explained, laying down beside her. Claire shook her head, laughing freely.
"Go on, ave your way with me. I don't mind" Charlie persisted, playfully. "Don't you think it would be a good idea to put the girls to bed before we start having our way with each other?" Claire questioned, sitting up once again.
"If you insist" Charlie sighed, and pushed himself off his back. He lifted Geni off the blanket, letting her rest her head on his shoulder before slowly raising to his feet. Claire picked up Gabby, and the two head upstairs.
"So, you think Kate and Jack are still going at it?" Charlie questioned softly, as the two made their way down the hall. "Well...I don't hear anything" Claire noted, taking a glance at their bed room door as they passed by.
"Probably just taking a break" Charlie suggested, with a grin. "Either that or they're just getting old" Claire shrugged, glancing back at him as they wondered into the girl's room. "Also a possibility" Charlie nodded, flashing her a smile as he came up beside her.
They each lowered the girls into the crib, then smiled at each other once again. "Well...now that the girls are asleep..." Charlie began, taking her hands in his. "Hmm...what ever shall we do?" Claire mused sarcastically.
A grin crossed Charlie's face as he squeezed her hand. "Uh, oh...there's that look again" Claire noted, teasingly. "Good thing you don't know what I'm thinking" he replied suggestibly, closing the space between them.
"Oh? And what might that be?" Claire questioned, tilting her head to the side. "Well...I could tell you...or, I could show you..." his grin widened as he pressed his forehead agenst hers. Claire smiled back before leaning up to kiss him.
Next Morning:
"Morning Claire" Kate greeted, coming up beside her at the counter. "Good morning" Claire replied, brightly. "Well...some one's in a good mood" Kate noted, suggestively. "Yep" Claire confirmed simply before shutting the fridge.
"Hmm...I wonder why" Kate teased, tapping her fingers on the counter top. Claire made no reply, but blushed a little as she took a seat at the table. "Looks like I'm not the only one who got lucky last night" Kate noted sarcastically, makeing her way over to the table.
Claire rolled her eyes innocently before taking a sip of her coffee. "Well? What happened?" Kate questioned curiously, taking a seat across from her. "That, is none of your business" Claire answered, as if the response should be obvious.
"Fine...do you wanna know what happened with me and Jack?" Kate questioned sarcastically. "No, I don't" Claire confirmed, trying not to laugh. "Oh...well...I'm gonna tell you anyways" Kate exclaimed, playfully. At that moment the door bell rang, and Claire quickly hoped out of her seat.
"I'll get that" She explained, and hurried to the door. "fine...I'll tell you later!" Kate called after her, teasingly. Claire shook her head as she reached the front door. "Hey" She beamed as she opened the door to Liam and Ben. "Come on in"
the two fallowed her inside, Ben heading straight for the couch. "Did you have fun?" She questioned curiously. "Yeah..." Ben replied simply. "He's a man of few words" Liam noted, with a grin. "Yes he is, although I have no idea where he got it from" Claire noted, in a motherly fashion.
"Not his father, that's for sure" Kate noted, taking a seat on the couch next to Ben. "Speaking of his father, where is that brother of mine?" Liam questioned curiously. "He's upstairs" Claire explained.
"Sleeping?" Liam questioned as if he already knew the answer. "No...I think he's taking a shower" Claire replied, after thinking for a moment. She didn't cath the devious smile that crossed Kate's face. "I see. Well, tell him I said hi" Liam shrugged. "I will. Are you guy's coming over later?" Claire questioned curiously.
"Yep. Just gotta run a couple errands, then we'll be back" He assured. "Alright, then. I'll see you then" Claire replied, giving him a quick hug before he headed out. Kate hopped out of her seat as the as he made his way out, and slowly headed towards the steps.
"And where are you going?" Claire questioned curiously, turning to face Kate as she crossed her arms. "Uh...I was going to-" Kate began, trying hard to think of an excuse. "nice try" Claire grinned, triumphantly. "Dammit" Kate muttered, and headed back down the steps.
"Yeah, you stay down here with Ben. I'm gonna go get dressed before the girls wake up" Claire explained, and headed up the stairs. "Yes, mother" Kate grumbled sarcastically, rolling her eyes as she made her way back to the couch.
Claire reached the hall just as Charlie was leaving the bath room, towel wrapped around his waist. "Hey" Claire grinned, makeing her way over to him. "Morning luv" He replied, sliding his arm around her waist and giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"You just missed your brother" She explained, as headed to the bed room side by side. "Did I?" He questioned, as if interested. "Yeah, I told him you were in the shower...Kate nearly bolted up here" Claire explained, with a roll of her eyes.
"And why would Kate care if I was in the shower?" He questioned, raising an eye brow. "Because I saw Jack In the shower, so she thinks its some sort of payback" Claire explained, taking a seat on the bed. "Oh...well, that seems fair" He shrugged, casually.
"What?" Claire questioned, turning to him in confusion. "Well, I mean you saw Jack naked, its only fair" He replied, pulling his cloths out of the draw. "It was an accident!" Claire insisted. "So? besides, I'm your husband, you should show me off" He continued playfully as he began to get dressed.
"You people are crazy" Claire sighed, shaking her head. "Well...if you really want to keep me to yourself, I understand" he complied, makeing his way over to the bed. "Thank you" Claire replied, sarcastically. "Any time" Charlie grinned, running he hand over her long blond hair.
"Although, I must say...if there was a shower contest between you and Jack, you'd defiantly win" Claire noted suggestively, sliding her arms around his waist. "Why, thank you" He grinned, pridefully before leaning down to kiss her.
"Your quite welcome" she replied, before leaning up to kiss him again, though this time it lasted a little longer. Ok, much longer...
"Claire!"
Claire jumped at the sound of her name being called. "What?" She called back, sighing disappointedly. Charlie continued to press his forehead agenst hers, trying not to laugh. "We have company! Get your asses down here!" Kate called back in reply.
"Sorry, My ass if kind of bushy at the moment" Charlie called back, jokenly. Claire shook her head, giggling to herself. "Dude!" Hurly's voice rung out in disgust. The two both look up, surprised to here the familiar voice once again.
"Claire hopped up and head for the door. "Wait for me!" Charlie called after her, desperately looking for his shirt. But Claire was already out the door.
