Charlie was doing his very best trying to stay the perfect gentleman. She was so intoxicating and her planting kisses in his neck didn't exactly contribute to his efforts to not losing complete control over himself.
As she slowly moved the kisses from his neck upwards towards his lips again he engaged in a passionate kiss pulling her closer. He lost himself completely this time at the touch of her soft lips and her hands playing with the curls in the back of his neck.
She must have felt it as she gently broke off the kiss and pushed herself away from him a little while teasingly smile biting her lower lip.
"I think it's time we head back to the others" She said with a grated voice giving away she felt the same way Charlie did.
"Yeah I think that would be a good idea." He said running one hand through his hair as he directed Amita towards the way back to the campsite
"Charlie?" Amita had something important to ask.
"Hm? He replied
"Are we going to get back at your brother, Larry and Megan at all?"
Charlie stood still. He had completely forgotten all about the plot the three had concocted. Amita had consumed his brain completely…
"Get back at them? How do you mean?" Charlie replied after his brain started functioning properly.
"Well… I was thinking we could turn the tables on them. I have an idea…."
And Amita reached for his hand and started to explain as they walked back towards the campsite Charlie letting out a loud snort every once in a while …..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, Megan and Larry had decided to pretend being asleep when Charlie and Amita would return to the campsite. They were ready and installed themselves in the sleeping bags anxiously listening if they could hear them return talking in whispers.
When they heard some noise coming their way they knew without a doubt that had to be Charlie and Amita and quickly closed their eyes pretending being asleep, hearts beating quickly in their throats. They had no idea what had been going on and all three agreed that if indeed something had happened they did not want the love birds to feel scrutinized.
Don heard one pair of feet walk towards the big sleeping bag and was waiting for the second pair. Which he didn't hear….. He heard some messing about and he knew whoever had returned to the campsite had nestled inside the sleeping bag. He opened his eyes, confused and frowned. He waited a while. Perhaps the second pair would still come…. And he was right, quickly closing his eyes again.
The second pair didn't seem to walk towards the big sleeping bag though… Instead they seemed to walk over towards the other side of the camp. He heard someone sit down. What was going on? He couldn't move as he should be pretending to sleep. If anything he didn't want to mess up in case either of them wanted to see if everyone really was asleep before crawling in next to whoever already was in the sleeping bag. But curiosity was building up inside him. Who was in the sleeping bag? Why did the second person not join the first yet? Had it all gone wrong? He decided it was best to stay still and just wait.
As minutes passed by Don almost died of curiosity. Every time he was ready to open his eyes, he heard the person sitting down move a little making him scared to really look. From the sleeping bag he could now hear steady breathing…. Heavy breathing! It was Charlie in the sleeping bag! What on earth happened that Amita was sitting on the other side still not sleeping! Nothing made any sense to Don at this point.
Just when he wanted to open his eyes and sit up to ask Amita what was the matter he heard her get up. He heard her walk towards Charlie and heard her remove her shoes. He then expected her to crawl in with Charlie Only she didn't. SHE WAS CRAWLING IN HIS! OH MY GOD!
Don' heart was racing and he was squeezing his eyes shut. What the hell was going on? She wasn't supposed to crawl in to his! What would Charlie think! He was going to lose it completely! Don was losing it completely!
Amita crawled in the sleeping bag and wrapped her arms around Don. Don lay still as best he could trying his best not to freak out, but cracked when Amita's hands tried to get under his shirt.
"WOAHAA" Don yelped.
The others all jerked up at Don's exclamation.
Charlie, Megan and Larry looked at Don and Amita in the same sleeping bag.
Charlie burst out in fury.
"WHAT THE HELL DON?"
Don's confused and shocked made it very heard for Charlie to look and sound as angry as he did. This was hilarious!
"What the hell Don? Charlie, Amita crawled into MY sleeping bag! I didn't do anything!" Don quickly defended himself as he got up and away from Amita
Amita quickly took up her part of innocent girl as she added a little more to Don's already spiked panic.
"Don? You asked me to crawl in with you remember? You said it would be best not to wake Charlie…" Amita pouted at Don.
I was Charlie's turn again to turn up the heat.
"You ASKED her? I leave her alone for two minutes, fall asleep and you go ahead and ask the girl of my dreams that it's best not to wake me and ASKED her to join YOU!
Don now completely confused and really upset over the fact that Amita had mad Charlie so incredibly angry at him didn't know what to say or think anymore. He just stumbled away from Amita almost tripping over Megan whose face had turned completely white.
Larry whose face also displayed a great deal of shock at was now walking up to Charlie with calming gestures.
"Charles, try to calm down a bit. This must be a misunderstanding"
"Misunderstanding huh? How am I misunderstanding my brother in the same sleeping bag as Amita Larry?" Charlie replied, feeling a little guilty inside for yelling at his friend.
"Charlie… I-I…. I swear…. I-I… I didn't…. She… She… I" Don stuttered.
Charlie walked up to what seemed to be Don ready to hit him, but stopped right in front of Amita who now had a big smile on her face.
He looked at her, put one arm around her and kissed her passionately, Amita gratefully returning his kiss, wrapping her arms around him.
Don, Larry and Megan looked at the two in complete disbelief. Whatever all three had expected to happen, what they were looking at was definitely NOT one of them. That's when it finally hit Don…. This was their payback for their initial interference.
He burst out in laughter as he looked as his young brother kiss Amita. When they broke of the kiss they started to laugh too as they walked up to Don Larry and Megan
Only Larry and Megan were still in complete shock, with their mouths wide open and eyes almost popping out of their sculls.
Charlie and Amita burst out in laughter at the sight of the two, and Larry and Megan finally snapped out of it and joined the chorus of laughter.
When they all got themselves reasonably together again Don took apart Charlie.
"So we're even now I guess" Don said squeezing his brothers shoulder.
"Not by a long shot big brother…. But this was a good start" Charlie grinned.
"Ok… ok… What do you say we head back home? I've had enough of you screaming at me to last me a lifetime. And besides… I think you and A-M-I-T-A could do with some time alone too." Don said.
"That my brother, I do agree would indeed be a great plan. And Poor Larry and Megan probably have had enough of us as well." Charlie replied.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Don let himself fall onto the couch and rubbed his eyes.
"So, how'd the hike go?"
"Dad, hey, I didn't think you'd be home"
"You look like hell, and Charlie's not home. So I take it the hike didn't go well?
Alan placed himself next to Don and passed him a beer.
"Actually Dad, Why don't you ask Charlie yourself?" Don said in the most monotonous way he could without giving anything away.
"What… you mean? They finally…..? Alan asked curiously while getting up again.
"Just go and ask Charlie dad" Don sighed.
Alan walked up to the garage when he read the sign and started laughing.
The sign said:
TO ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE LOVE LIFE OF DR. CHARLES EPPES BEWARE;
MATHEMATICIAN WORKING HIS GIRL.
ENTER AT OWN RISK.
Alan shook his head as he walked back to Don. He was sure of it now. Both his sons were positively, certifiably insane.
