Chapter Four
Charlie returned later that evening after his secret meeting with Kate and Sawyer. They had needed to see Charlie so they could persuade him into helping them build Claire's baby's crib.
When he got to Claire's tent, she was writing in her journal. Charlie noticed the "imaginary" peanut butter behind her. Yes, Charlie thought. I have an excuse to read Claire's journal. Yeah, I know I'm bloody scum, but… He walked behind her and looked down at the journal. He read the first half of the page….
Today Charlie and I woke up and we ate some peanut butter. Charlie "accidentally" slipped and put some "imaginary" peanut butter on my cheek. He said he'd get it so he leaned in and licked it off. As he licked it off my cheek, he started sliding down towards my mouth. This is where it gets interesting and where I realized that I really like Charlie. As he got dangerously close to my lips, I turned my face to his and we started to make out. In my mind I was thinking oh God, don't ever leave my side Charlie. I don't want him to end up like Thomas. But then of course, Kate has to interrupt us and take Charlie away for the whole day. The thing I remember most is that Charlie got that hilarious smile on his face when he told Kate one minute, and she came back a minute later and Charlie said do you have to be so precise.
Charlie looked up from the journal and started walking towards the peanut butter jar when he tripped over a pile of Claire's clothes. "Charlie…were you reading my journal?" Claire asked, smiling.
Charlie thought, Darn. Busted. But then he said, "Um…No. Why would I do that?"
"Sure Charlie," Claire said, trying not to laugh. "Hey, I was thinking, how about we stay here instead of moving to the caves?"
"That's fi--."
Claire interrupted him abruptly by jumping out of her chair and smacked him with a kiss.
Charlie got out of the kiss and walked over to the tent door flaps and said, "Let's finish what we started." And then he winked at her.
After maybe an hour of kisses they went to bed.
So many thoughts were going through Claire's head that she was awake for three hours after Charlie went to bed. But when her thoughts cleared, she fell fast asleep.
(Claire's Dream)
Claire awoke and noticed she was in a bed. A king sized bed.
"Good morning Claire," said a person who she recognized almost immediately, and remembered him as Ethan. Ethan Rom.
"Where's Charlie, Ethan?" Claire asked.
"He's hanging around in the jungle. From a vine," Ethan retorted.
"You're the most sick psychopath I've ever seen." When she said the word seen, she punched Ethan with the hardest punch she could handle. She punched him right in the temple. She had no clue what happened besides that she just killed Ethan.
(Back to the Island)
Claire woke up and noticed that Charlie was still sleeping peacefully.
She leaned over to kiss him when he woke up and embraced her in a hug she'd never forget, his warm skin on hers. She leaned down and kissed him softly. When she let go, Charlie left a trail of kisses from her chest up to her lips. She laughed.
This would be a day she'd never forget.
