Chapter 15

Dan's Pov

This day is probably the most toughest day of my life. First Chloe was kidnapped, and now she is in the hospital again, along with Lucifer, both thought to be dying from serious injuries. When Chloe was sleeping unconsciously for three mouths, my head was spinning around in torture visualising if Chloe died, thinking that I thought I was losing her forever. What made these months worse was that Trixie kept calling on my phone asking, "How's mummy? When is mummy coming home?" All of my answers were just "I don't know" and "Mummy needs time to heal" and "Soon, very soon." Everytime I answer her questions with those answers I could Trixie huffing in grief and sadness, and it broke my heart deeply. Hearing my own daughter suffer not knowing whether she will see her mum again.

Fortunately, Chloe woke up like in that film Sleepy Beauty, for the first time in those sufferable three months I could finally calmingly exhale and my heart can beat slowly. Chloe continued to rest in her hospital bed, we ate some lunch then dinner, we talk as it was great to hear her friendly voice again. When the evening finally arrived, I left Chloe alone to sleep more peaceful in her room. The night was quite light, so I walked outside to get myself some fresh air. I sat on a wooden chair and drunk a cup of coffee.

"Hey" Charlotte walked unexpectedly over towards me. I knew she was visiting Chloe with Linda and Maze, but I thought she left right after to go home.

"Hi" my voice sounded breathless when I saw Charlotte.

Closely, she sat down next to me on the chair, and ask, "How's Chloe?"

"She's getting better, thank God" I answered.

"Yeah, thank God" Charlotte repeated, her eyes stare up at the darkish-orange night sky.

I gazed at Charlottes' beauty face and I thought back to when Lucifer and I were investigating Chloe's kidnapping, we had a long chat in the car. The talk about how I kept myself quiet from Charlotte, how I repeated my excuses about giving Charlotte space, and thinking that we were just friends and nothing else. I huffed to myself in annoyance because secretly Lucifer was actually right in our chat. I looked at Charlotte and taking in long, deep breathes preparing for what I am going to say, but I think it could probably kill me.

"Charlotte" I breathed her name just to get her attention, when her eyes desirable eyes met mine the words got stuck in my throat and my head was starting to get sweaty, "I know that, um… We've been keeping things kind of loose, and I said that you could use your space. And if that's what you want if that's what you truly want, then I respect that."

I breathed in a deep amount of air into my lungs to suck up enough courage for me to say the next few words, "But I never told you what I want."

Charlotte's eyes widen slightly in suspicion from my words, then I continued to move my mouth so that the words would come out from me, "I want you. All in. The whole deal. So, um, so there."

I could finally breathe calmly now that I have pour parts of my true emotions out. I watched Charlotte's face react; she was silent at first until Charlotte grew a small smile on her face. Her answer hits my ears, "Okay."

My face froze in confusion, "Really? Ah…"

Suddenly, Charlotte came forward and her lips were on mine. Her hands softly hold my head in place to kiss me passionately. When I kissed her back it felt time around froze and somehow we were the only ones in the world, alone but in bliss. Charlotte pulled away too soon and breathed, "Hey you wonna… give it go"

Charlotte nodded her head towards the hospital and I quickly caught her message, I asked, "In the hospital?"

She nodded with a wide grin, I widen my eyes in shock, but I quickly replied, "Okay."

I allowed Charlotte to pull my hand and lead me into the hospital. We rushed through the door entrance before I pulled Charlotte to me as I whispered, "Okay question, where exactly are we going?"

"To a spare room" Charlotte answered.

"Are you sure?" I wondered.

"Yeah, all hospitals have at least one spare room, and I know where" Charlotte continued leading me through the hospital.

We reached to the first floor, and surprisingly there was a spare one by the middle of the hallway. I didn't understood how Charlotte would know that there would be a spare room, but truthfully I was so glad there was one. After checking the room was empty, we rushed in and Charlotte unexpectedly turn off the lights.

"What's with the lights?" I turned around to face Charlotte, but her lips were back on my lips again making me forget about my question.

Slowly pushing me backwards till the back of my knees hit the edge of a bed. Carefully I fall back on the bed and Charlotte leaned over me. Our kiss was hot and passionate as I breathed in her air that heat my body. My hands slide over from the top of her back to the bottom, gripping on the side of her thighs. Charlotte's gentle fingers waved around over my chest until they were rolling down untill they reached my belt. Our eyes shut close, but our mouths still attach like glue. We didn't want this to stop, how could we want it to stop. Until a sound of crunches echoed in the room.

The loud, crunchy music froze Charlotte and I like statues, we stopped our heartfelt kiss as I whispered in puzzlement, "Do you hear that?"

"Yeah" Charlotte answered, her eyes and mine were narrow in confusion.

Charlotte leaned forward to turn on the bedside light. Once the light bright the room, we finally meet the one who causing the crunching. We yelled in shock, "Maze!"

"Hey lovers…" a cheeky grin was settled on Maze's face while she sat down on the other side of the room with a bag of popcorn on her crossed legs for her to snack on.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I question in annoyance, especially since Charlotte and I were going somewhere with the kissing and possibly more.

"Well, Linda said I need to practise a 'proper' apology to Trixie" Maze did the air quote with her fingers when she mentioned the word 'proper' then she continued, "So, I thought practising my apology to a dead dude on the 6th floor. Then I meet some sexy doctors."

"I figure if I stayed in one of these spare rooms, more of doctors might come in. Then you guys came, so I stayed to watch the show" Her grin widen as Maze crunched a handful of popcorn in her mouth, then Maze annoyingly added in playful tone, "But I should have bought some chilly milkshake or something, since your sex will definitely heat up the room."

"Okay, let's get out of here" I suggested.

"Agreed" Charlotte flip back for me to be lifted off the bed.

Maze had a puzzled look on her and swing her shoulders around in confusion, "What? What did I do?"

We didn't answer Maze back, only walked out of the room. I exited out first, but I accidently bumped into a young doctor in the hallway. I quickly apoligise to the doctor then Charlotte and I strolled off through the hallway. I looked back and saw Maze was out of the room until she caught the nice-looking doctor in her sight. Maze grew a childish smile, grab the doctor's top and forcefully pulled him into the spare room. I guess she and the doctor will be heating up that room tonight.

"So, um, I'll see you tomorrow?" Charlotte wondered.

"Oh, yeah definitely. I need to stay, for Chloe" I answered.

"Of course, yeah" Charlotte replied.

We stood in silence for a short moment, before Charlotte made the first move and walked through the hallway behind me. I stood where I was, thinking where did this go wrong and what should I do next. We had a special moment for only one minute, then it was ruin. I felt anxious about Charlotte who might have seconds about this.

A hand reached over to turn my head around, it was Charlotte bring my lips to hers. It was short but it felt brilliant as the others. Slowly parting our lips, Charlotte revealed gentle smile as she whispered in a graceful tone, "Goodnight Dan."

At the moment, I was completely speechless. My answer to her were soft hums, but that only widen Charlotte's gentle smile. Then she walked off through the hallway back to her home. When I was alone in the hallway I walk back to Chloe's room, with a joyful smile grew on my face from ear to ear.

Hey guys. This is just a short chapter I have just thought of. Wasn't an ideal plan to write, but I decided just to write it down because it sounded good and funny. (Spoilers) Since Charlotte is alive in this story, I thought she and Dan deserve a short happy ending, and of course Maze has to be in!

The next chapter will come very soon...
