The More I See You – Chapter 6
Rebekah went straight to the front desk. "Right, Gina's orders - I'm all yours." She beamed at Charlie. "To do anything with... though, I draw the line at a grope." She winked.
Charlie raised an eyebrow. "You know, that stopped being funny a month ago..."
"Nooooo I didn't mean it like that! I was just having a laugh." Rebekah frowned. "Summit up Chaz?"
"No." Charlie sighed before shrugging slightly. "Just wouldn't be so bad if the jokes the others came up with were actually original and hadn't been told 50 times before."
"Oh." Rebekah paused. "I'll umm - keep my gob shut then." She picked up some files and quietly started placing them in the cabinet behind Charlie.
"I didn't mean it to come out like that..." Charlie sighed and scratched her head. "Next cabinet along." She smiled.
Rebekah nodded and put them in the right one. "S'ok..."
"How're you and Mickey?" Charlie glanced over her shoulder.
"We're good." Rebekah nodded, squeezing a tight smile.
"Could sound a little more sure..." Charlie smiled slightly.
"Very good." Rebekah said pointedly, getting another pile of files. "You and Jo?"
"Brilliant." Charlie's smile broadened and she practically beamed, sitting at her desk.
Rebekah smirked and closed the drawer. "Glad to hear it."
"She's..." Charlie trailed off with a slight blush. "...Amazing."
Rebekah raised her eyebrows. "Amazing?" She smiled.
Charlie giggled softly and nodded. "She is..." she smiled.
Rebekah watched her. "You've really fallen for her haven't you?"
Charlie nodded and blushed, looking at the floor. "She's just...lovely." She turned and looked at Rebekah. "Ever felt so cared for, so loved...so protected even?" She smiled.
Rebekah nodded. "Mickey makes me feel like that."
"Jo makes me feel like that." Charlie smiled slightly, the only chink in her armour being that she hadn't admitted Smithy did too...
"Jo does seem very...protective." Rebekah nodded.
"She is." Charlie nodded, rubbing a brush through her bunches. "I kinda like it." She chuckled.
"My ears are burning." Jo entered the front station with Mickey, back after their meeting with the informant.
"So they should be." Charlie smiled and stood up, leaning forward on the desk. "It go alright?"
Jo nodded. "As expected." One thing she did manage to do - keep her work separate from her private life. And so she wouldn't go any further into it with Charlie than that.
"Good." Charlie smiled, "You still on for finishing at 6?"
"Far as I know, yup!" Jo smiled a little.
"Good." Charlie grinned. "We can make a night of it...dinner, wine...soppy old film...ice cream."
Jo grinned. "Sounds good. Who's 'we?'" She asked, just testing the waters.
"Just you..." Charlie grinned and rested her head on one hand. "And me."
Jo smiled. "Great, I'll get another bottle on the way home."
"Meet you at yours then." Charlie grinned to herself, watching Jo walk away.
"Cosy." Rebekah smirked from behind Charlie.
Charlie grinned and looked back, "Shurrup you." She chuckled.
"Mick's taking me the cinema tonight." She shut another drawer. "We're off to an 8.30 showing. That new film, Mr and Mrs Smith." She made a bit of a face, knowing full well he only suggested it because it's Angelina!
Charlie snorted back a laugh, covering her mouth with one hand. "Best get a seat at the back then, so no-one can see him with his hand down his trousers."
"Errrr - he won't be doing any of that. He does and I'll let the whole cinema know - and he knows I would!" Rebekah told her.
"S'Angelina." Charlie chuckled. "He'll be doing something along to it." She grinned.
"No, he definitely won't." She scoffed. "I'll keep him under control."
"Good luck." Charlie grinned, looking back at the desk as a member of the public walked through.
------------------------------------------
A few hours later, Charlie had changed and redone her hair and was waiting at the bottom of the stairs in the front entrance, looking away as Smithy passed on his way out. Sam came down the stairs on her way out.
"Charlie, Jo said to tell you she's gonna be late - but shouldn't be too long." Sam paused. "Night." She left the office.
Charlie frowned and nodded, "Thanks." She smiled at Sam, sitting on the chairs over from the stairs.
------------------------------------------
Rebekah finished her report and went to leave it on Gina's desk. "Night Ma'am."
"Night." Gina pulled the paper to her, looking over the form.
Rebekah whirled past Charlie. "Night Chaz." She caught up with Sam in the yard and gave her a hug as they said their goodnights before getting into her car and driving to Mickey's.
"Night..." Charlie curled up on one of the chairs, pushing her hair behind her ears.
------------------------------------------
It was 40 minutes later before Jo came casually down the stairs. "Sorry I'm so late Charlie." She flicked her hair out the back of her coat.
Charlie looked up from where she'd been laid out on the visitor's seats, one arm swinging against the floor. "You done for good now yeah?"
She nodded down at her. "Come on then!"
Charlie picked herself up, dusting herself down, following after Jo who opened the car for her and got into the drivers seat, pulling on her seatbelt as Charlie got in.
"So, the movie and the wine..." Charlie pulled her seatbelt on. "Any preferences?"
"Something dramatic and something sweet." Jo smiled.
"Like you?" Charlie grinned, nodding. "To the store!" She smirked, sitting back in the chair.
"Dramatic?" Jo questioned with a smile.
"I heard about the rescue whilst you were on holiday with the others." Charlie grinned, nodding.
"What holiday?" She frowned.
"With the rest of CID, the Outward Bound one...in the Supermarket..." Charlie started.
"Ah. That wasn't a holiday!" Jo chuckled. "That was an organised cock-up!"
"You were still dramatic though." She grinned, getting out as the car stopped.
Jo got out and locked the car. "So, dramatic eh?" She smirked, grabbing Charlie's arm as she aimed for the shop, whisking her round the wall down the side alley and round the back of the shop - proceeding to push her up against the wall and pull Charlie's leg up from under her knee to the side of her waist as she kissed Charlie deeply, pinning her.
"Mmffph!" Charlie replied, returning the kiss just as deeply, as she wrapped her arms tightly around Jo.
Jo hungrily kissed her, her hand hurriedly finding it's way into Charlie's underwear...and here it was, another moment when she would completely take control, and cause Charlie to become a whimpering wreck. She was infrequently rough, but not horribly. She took hold of Charlie's hip with her free hand, still pinning her. "Shhhhh!" She told Charlie when the girl began to make noise.
Charlie whimpered as softly as she could, gripping Jo's shoulders tightly. "...here..." She murmured, finding Jo's mouth with her own.
"S'okay..." Jo whispered, intent on Charlie getting the benefit of this - aroused by Charlie's squirming. "Good girl..." She breathed.
Charlie gasped and pressed against Jo's hand, trying to stay as quite as she could, one hand reaching out behind her, grasping only brick as she moaned. Jo worked to arouse Charlie deeply, whispering things into her lover's ear to completely cause her to ache with shivers and mind-blowing sensations, telling her things she wanted her to hear, completely caught up in the moment now. And then Charlie's head tilted back against the wall and she leant completely and totally against Jo - giving herself, whimpering the older woman's name.
"Shhhhhhhh..." Jo told her again, pulling her head gently forward and to her shoulder to hide her whimpers, holding her so close that they became more or less one body. One body but two souls entwined.
Charlie shivered, her grip on Jo tightening as she tensed.
"That's it baby..." Jo encouraged, her hold firm but sure, dropping kisses along Charlie's jawline, her breath brushing against her ear.
Charlie leant forward and kissed Jo heatedly to muffle her moan and climaxed, her mind clouding over. Jo smiled, still encouraging her to keep quiet, gradually slowing, nuzzling Charlie softly and eventually pulling back, simply pressing Charlie against the wall she kissed her passionately. Charlie shivered and gasped hard, attempting to catch her breath as she returned the kiss. There was silence for a few minutes, then Jo broke it with a tilt of her head.
"That dramatic enough for ya?" Jo grinned, her voice soft and a little raspy.
Charlie simply grinned and nodded, still breathless.
"Come on." She chuckled, dragging Charlie; flustered and a little disheveled; off to the shop.
Charlie attempted to control her grin, following behind Jo.
-------------------------
They soon chose a movie then moved to the off-licence for some wine before heading home. Charlie opened the door, letting them both inside, slipping her shoes and jacket off, turning to look up at Jo with a grin. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Jo's waist, resting her head just above her cleavage, sighing happily. The two content in this moment, just holding each other.
Holding. Happy. Heaven.
