Hey guys!
It's been a LONG time! I'm so sorry! Work got in the way, then a new job! Im settling in now... dealing with a break up... *sigh* I've had it all hey!
Let me tell you, break ups suck! And they aren't the best especially when you are made out to be the bad person as if its ALL your fault!
Aaaannnyways! here is the next piece! Not overly long, but I will try to make more of an effort to update more regularly, if you like the story! :)
"I know I ran, and I hate that I ran" Joey came back into the lounge with two cups of coffee, Ruby having left the moment Joey came home.
"I don't know why I did it! I panicked? I told you this already Charlie. I'm crazy about you, more than crazy! I just…I never imagined anyone like you wanting me. I'm just… I'm no where near as gorgeous as you and I –"
"Jo, stop! I hate that you always have to put yourself down like that. It really upsets me. Who wouldn't like you? Who wouldn't fall for you! You are gorgeous, caring, funny, sensitive, and beautiful. The list goes on!" Charlie moved awkwardly, to sit up a little better. "From the moment I set eyes on you, I have been infatuated with you. Thinking about you every second of the day. And even when I am busy, you are still somewhere in there in my thoughts. I have never, never thought about anyone this much. God, you are the first thing I think about when I wake, and the last thing I think about before I sleep. I find it hard to sleep knowing you are in the next room".
Joey blushed a little, sipping her far too hot coffee. This is exactly what she wanted to hear from Charlie. "If anything were to happen, Charlie, would Ruby be ok with it?"
"Rubz loves you. She would be fine about it. I promise she will be ok with it. Because if she wasn't ok with everything, you would definitely know about it". Charlie smiled softly, taking Joey's hand in her own. "The question is, are you ok with it if anything were to happen?"
A smile slowly crept on Joeys face, and she couldn't stop it from growing wider. "I … I'd be more than ok about it. If it's what you want…" Charlie leant forward, softly rubbing her nose against Joeys, and softly kissed her lips as if to test the waters.
Butterflies filled Joey's stomach. She leant back in and kissed Charlie, a little harder, but slow. They kissed like this for what felt like forever, gently caressing each other. Once they pulled apart, they rested their foreheads together. Joey was grinning like a little kid and Charlie couldn't help herself but lean into one more kiss.
"So, I take that as a yes you want to?" Joey grinned, holding Charlies hand. Charlie giggled like a little kid and nodded.
"Yes. I definitely want to".
Both women had been quiet about everything that evening, still getting used to the idea themselves, so they didn't want to rush into it and say anything to Ruby.
"Well, I'm off to bed" Ruby stood up from the couch, yawning. She moved around Charlie, so not to knock her ankle and bent down to kiss her goodnight and then did the same with Joey. "Night mum, night Jo".
"Night Rubz" They both said in unison, looking at each other with a smirk. No sooner had Ruby left the lounge and could hear her door close, Joey was on top of Charlie kissing her passionately, causing Charlie to moan slightly.
"I thought… mm.. we were going to take it slow…" Charlie only managed to get out when Joey slipped her leg between Charlies.
Ruby, having quietly come out of her room, smirked to herself as she caught a glimpse of what was happening in the lounge. "Ohh are you going to regret having me in the house tonight". She giggled to herself and crept back to her room.
