"Here you are" Dean smiled as he opened the door to Charlie's room and found Julie sitting on Charlie's bed.
"And here you are" Julie laughed back at him.
"So do you think it worked?" Dean eyed her cheekily.
"Maybe, I can't help but feel a little guilty though" Julie confessed.
"Do you think they're feeling guilty about making us walk in the rain for no reason other than to satisfy their own curiosity?" Dean pointed out moving towards her.
"Good point" Julie smiled.
She tried not to squeal when Dean grinned cockily at her and lunged at her, knocking her backwards to lie on Charlie's bed.
"Now this is more like it" Dean grinned running a hand up Julie's side to rest just beneath her armpit, the other hand still by her waist.
"Not now" Julie told him remembering that they were in Charlie's old bedroom and that they were in the middle of convincing people that they were into Charlie and Connie respectively.
"Just a little kiss?" Dean pouted. Now that he had the girl of his dreams beneath him he wasn't about to let her go again.
"I think we can manage that" Julie gave in unable to resist him.
What started out as a 'little kiss' soon became a full-blown make out session.
Dean was the one who eventually broke free.
"Babe I think we need to stop" he said breathlessly.
"You're right" Julie sat up and adjusted her jacket.
They froze when they heard footsteps heading up the stairs.
"Hide!" Julie hissed getting on the floor and pulling Portman down with her. The pair then rolled under the bed.
They were surprised to hear giggling and the voices sounded familiar, it was Fulton and Tammy.
"Did I see Tammy coming in?" Charlie asked Guy.
"Yeah just a minute ago, her and Fulton have since disappeared though" Guy informed Charlie suggestively.
"I wish they'd realise they're not on their honeymoon yet" Charlie replied. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Fulton now had Tammy, the girl he had a crush on since they were 10 years old and where was he? Still pining away for Connie who sat a mere five feet away from him.
"Guys it seems our other bash brother had disappeared" Averman spoke up.
"Yeah and the catlady too" Goldberg announced.
Connie and Charlie looked up.
I thought Jules was now into Charlie she thought.
I thought Fulton said nothing happened between Julie andFultonCharlie thought.
Connie and Charlie's eyes met briefly before Connie quickly looked away again.
Damn Charlie thought.
I need to make my move soon.
"They better not be doing what I think they're doing" Julie whispered.
"Shit I think they are" Portman grimaced.
Soft groans from both Tammy and Fulton could be heard from the bed above.
"Ew!" Julie whispered moving her hands to cover her ears.
Portman shifted discreetly to allow Julie to rest her head against his chest.

FLASHBACK
Julie arrived at Deans' door with her hockey gear. She had decided to surprise him by walking him to practice. She felt like they needed to have a chat to get back to the way things were before their feelings got all confusing.
Taking a deep breath she adjusted her hockey bag on her shoulder and knocked on the door.
She could hear fumbling which indicated that someone was in the room.
Her breath caught in her throat as Dean answered the door in just a pair of boxers.
"Hey" he said breathlessly.
"Hi, aren't you coming to practice?" Julie asked.
"Shit I totally forgot, can I meet you there?" Dean asked trying to use himself to block Julie's view into the dorm.
"Baby aren't you coming back to bed?" she heard a female voice call out.
Julie's heart was ripped apart again.
"I'll see you later, sorry to have bothered you" she said coldly before walking calmly down the hallway.
She wasn't going to lose her composure whilst he was watching.
Dean sighed and banged his head against his hand on the doorframe.
If they weren't meant to be together then why did he feel so bad?
END FLASHBACK
"So where do you think everyone is?" Charlie sidled up to Connie trying to be as casual as possible.
"Not sure, I don't even want to think about what Tammy and Fulton are up to" Connie replied with a shudder.
"Gross Moreau please don't go there" Charlie scrunched his face up.
"Oh come on Charlie don't tell me you haven't been with many of your groupies" Connie teased.
"I don't have groupies!" Charlie protested.
"Sure you don't Conway" Connie poked him. She was feeling much better now that she had Charlie's attention to herself.
"And what about your groupies Miss Moreau, I remember Eden Hall when the guys used to line up outside our locker room hoping you'd emerge naked" Charlie teased.
"They did not!" Connie slapped Charlie who burst out laughing.
"Did too, I must admit though, I always hoped you'd forget your towel or something" Charlie could have died on the spot the second that sentence left his lips.
Connie stared at him in shock.
Do it now Moreau or else you'll regret it.
So she took the plunge.
"If you're lucky maybe I'll forget it in the morning" she leant across and whispered in his ear.
Every muscle in Charlie's body froze.
Was that a joke? He wondered if fate could be that cruel.
"I wish" Charlie blurted out without thinking.
"Meet me on the balcony in five minutes and it might be your wish" Connie told him before getting up from the couch and heading outside.
……………………………………………………….
"Thank god that's over" Julie whispered when Fulton and Tammy had finally finished their 'quickie' and left the room.
"I'll say" Portman looked slightly horrified.
"I don't think I can look at them the same ever again" Julie confessed rolling out from under the bed with Portman in tow.
"I know" Portman agreed.
"Do you want to go back to my hotel?" Julie asked suddenly feeling very anti-social.
"For sure" Portman agreed.
"Cons?" Charlie opened the sliding door and stepped out onto the dark balcony.
"Over here" Connie whispered reaching out and grabbing Charlie's hand.
Charlie brought his other hand up to caress Connie's cheek.
"Charlie if you don't kiss me in the next three seconds I swear to god I'm going to scream" Connie told him.
That was all the encouragement Charlie needed as the pair lunged at each other hungrily kissing as if they'd never see each other again.
Connie pushed all thoughts of Julie to the back of her mind as she allowed Charlie to kiss her in places she'd forgotten existed.
She'd deal with the consequences later, for now she had the man she wanted and nothing was going to get in her way.
A/N - thanks for the reviews, I've replied to them all. Sorry for the lack of updates. My computer has been in pieces for the past two days and I now have a nice new one to play with!
