For Charlie the remainder of the week passed in a blur and to say Friday night was welcomed would be an understatement. The initial shock about finding out about her Dad was after wearing off, now Charlie looked at things in a different light; knowing that he needed to go into care to help him. Charlie silently thanked Ruby for inviting Joey over the evening Morag had broken the news to them. Despite her bodies desires they hadn't made love that night, they had drawn the line before things spiralled completely out of control. They had made out for the remainder of the evening; amongst cuddling and chatting, she loved being close to Joey on so many levels.
A day hadn't passed that week without Joey getting in touch to check up on how she was doing, her quirky sense of humour always made her laugh, not even mentioning her gorgeous looks.
Charlie swung the front door open and tossed her wallet and mobile onto the table and turned the kettle on as she did every evening. She let her hair down and ran her fingers through it; she also opened the top two buttons of her shirt and ran her fingers around the rim.
"Ruby, are you here?" Charlie called out, it was nine o' clock and although she guessed Ruby was at the Surf Club, it was worth a try. She waited a few moments and upon not getting a reply she made a large mug of coffee and plodded into the living room picking her mobile off the table on the way. She switched on the television, typical, nothing on.
Her mobile vibrated on the sofa beside her and flashed Joeys name. She smiled broadly as she read through the text
'Weekend woohoo! You know what that means….x'
deciding it would be easier to call her instead of texting back, Charlie hit the dial button.
Joey had just parked up outside the Diner to collect some pizza for dinner when she heard her phone shrieking from the passenger's seat
"Hey, Charlie. How are things?" she paused to get Charlie's response.
"Well I'm just getting some pizza in the Diner, want some?" she replied "Well tough you can't have any, I'll be right over. And I might decide to share my pizza with you, I'll see" Joey teased before ending the call and going inside to collect her order.
As Joey approached the front door to Charlie's house, she could see her silhouette through the kitchen window. Hearing Charlie's voice Joey presumed she was on the phone, she sneaked in through the kitchen and into the living room where Charlie had moved into. She smiled fondly to herself, absorbed in watching every little gracious move Charlie made.
Oblivious to Joey's presence Charlie conversed with her step mother arranging their visit; they were due to arrive later that night.
She tried unsuccessfully to remove her utility belt; wanting to get changed before Joey arrived, but having only one free hand made this extremely difficult. Momentarily forgetting she was on the phone with Morag, Charlie sighed in frustration as her fingers once again failed to undo the clasp.
Joey lifted the lid of the pizza box and moved closer to Charlie, letting the smell waft towards her. Holding it to one side she stood directly behind her.
Charlie cleared her throat "Morag if you give me a call when you're coming into town, I'll unlock the door ok, see you then" Charlie ended the call, flipping her mobile shut.
"Got your attention now?" Joey growled into Charlie's ear, her breasts pressed tightly against her back.
"Yes" Charlie stated confidently watching the pizza box.
"Good 'cause the pizza's getting cold" she smiled plonking herself down on the sofa.
Charlie sat down on the sofa, allowing Joey to open the large pizza box that was settled in between them. She glanced up hoping to meet Joey's eye.
"What?" Joey giggled noticing the bewildered expression on Charlie's face, her hands meanwhile scooping up a large slice of pizza. "It's the weekend, come on Charlie surely you've gathered what that means by now?"
She smiled at Charlie's innocence "Weekend? Sexy time?"
Charlie blushed unsure of how to respond, she still wasn't even sure if Ruby was in her bedroom or not, she usually had her head phones on.
"So are you sharing?" she nodded in the direction of the pizza slice Joey was holding out.
"Ok I'll give you some of my yummy pizza but you owe me, this is seriously good pizza." Joey added, becoming serious. "And I get to feed you, to control how much you get" she joked.
Charlie didn't reply, instead she opened her mouth wide and leaned towards a giggling Joey.
Joey teased Charlie; she held the pizza close to her mouth then pulled it away causing Charlie to sigh in frustration. Just when Charlie came up with the idea to lunge forward, Joey smiled cunningly and swiftly slapped Charlie across the face with it.
"Joey!" Charlie shrieked in disbelief, she quickly snatched up a slice from the box and stuffed it into her mouth with one hand, and with the other she caught up a slice and smudged it into Joeys face.
"Oh you have just declared war Charlotte Buckton!" Joey screeched, soaring forward grabbing too large slices and sticking them face down onto Charlie's shirt, over her breasts.
Through a full mouth Charlie muffled, "Joey Collins I will kill you" She leapt off the sofa and removed one of the pizza sliced from her shirt. Straddling Joey she rubbed the slice all over Joey's face, laughing hysterically as she did so. Joey struggled but Charlie really did have the upper hand "I surrender!" Joey stated, struggling against the slice of pizza that was being mashed into her face.
"Is that a gun officer or are you just pleased to see me?" Joey chuckled, feeling Charlie's gun from her belt dig into her groin. Charlie glanced down and sure enough her gun was pressed between Joey's legs. She tried to hold in her smile, but failed as usual where Joey was concerned.
Breathlessly they smiled at one another; smothered in cheese and pizza. Joey licked her lips tasting the tomato sauce across them; she didn't break eye contact with Charlie who had a large string of cheese dangling from her cheek. She reached up and lightly pulled it away, letting her fingers graze over the apple of Charlie's cheek. Charlie chewed her bottom lip, trying to suppress the flutters of her heart in her chest, and even more so the ones below her belt.
They both moved to meet the other, and their lips met softly somewhere in the middle. Both smiled tasting their meal on the others lips, Charlie pulled away before Joey got the chance to introduce her tongue; she was uneasy not knowing where Ruby was, as she was usually in her room at this time. Joey was bewildered as to why Charlie pulled away but then again they weren't a couple so they couldn't be getting intimate every time they met up. Charlie's curiosities were answered, as not too long after their lips parted Ruby arrived in the room, her school books in hand. She stopped walking when she seen Charlie sitting on Joey's lap, the pair destroyed in pizza.
"Hey Ruby" Joey greeted her chirpily; Charlie spun around and manoeuvred herself off of Joey's lap noticing Ruby's unusual expression in the process.
"Oh my god! Look at you!" Ruby half laughed, half cried; her eyes widened upon seeing the distinctive marks on Charlie's chest.
"Food fight, Charlie was trying to eat all my pizza; she started it so I had to fight her for my food." Joey nodded at Ruby, keeping her tone serious.
Ruby glanced between the pair "Riiiight, well you better get cleaned up and get changed before Dad and Morag arrive" Ruby smirked at the girls and went into the kitchen to get a drink.
Charlie stood up now quite panicked; Ruby was right her Dad and Morag could arrive any minute. She turned to face Joey who was still sitting "Woops, guess she's right I should get changed" she smirked shyly before looking down at her belt; trying to decided how she's undo it not wanting her gear to get covered with the mess that was on her hands.
As if reading her mind Joey shuffled forward on the sofa and reached her hands up to undo her belt. She quickly glanced up at Charlie's face to search for any reaction, but her expression seemed certain. Joey eased her fingers from one hand behind the tough leather belt and with the other she released the clasp, she raised her head slightly daring to meet Charlie's eye as the belt fell into her hands.
"Thanks" Charlie whispered.
She kept one hand on Charlie's waistband and with the other dropped the belt onto the sofa. Joey was struggling to decided what to do next, she knew Ruby was in the next room but she so badly wanted to slip her fingers beneath and feel Charlie against her skin, the fact Charlie hadn't moved away either made her think maybe she wanted it too.
The comfortable silence between them was broken when Ruby bellowed from the kitchen "Charlie have you spoken to Morag or Dad?"
Charlie lifted her head, and looked towards the door expecting Ruby to enter, when she didn't; she replied "Yeah Morag called about an hour ago, and they weren't too far away." Charlie returned her gaze to Joey, who still hadn't moved her hands; they were sitting lightly on her waistband, finger tips slightly curled beneath it.
"Well you should tidy up then Charlie, because I don't want to be here when Dad see's the mess you've made. You're the one who told me Morag says he can be strange with things like that now."
"I should go I guess…" Joey stated quietly; Charlie just nodded half heartedly.
"Hey Joey" Ruby hopped into the room, Joey dropped her hands and both girls watched Ruby "You left the lights in your car on."
"Shit… Well I was going anyway thanks Rubes." Joey stood up and smiled at Charlie, also trying to distinguish whether she looked sympathetic or disappointed.
They walked to the car together to say their good byes. Joey sat into the car and repeatedly tried to start the engine. Charlie watched her from the door; she couldn't help but think how adorable Joey looked when she was frustrated. Joey twisted the key one last time, and glanced helplessly over at Charlie.
Ruby joined Charlie at the door upon hearing the screeching from Joeys car "Gees Joey, kill the car much?" She snuggled in against Charlie
"I think the battery has gone dead from leaving the light on. Shit!" Joey got out of the car and rested herself against the bonnet "I'll call Aden, he'll walk me home." Joey pulled her mobile out of her pocket.
"No Joey, you can stay" Ruby interjected "Can't she Charlz? I mean you're in my room anyway tonight, what difference will a third person make?"
Charlie discretely turned to Joey; anxious to see what she thought.
"No way, you have your parents staying tonight, Aden will come over, it's no problem I mean it." Joey was adamant not to put them out, she knew how nervous Charlie was about her Dad visiting; which was the main reason for her making sure they had a fun evening.
Charlie felt this was her queue to speak "Joey, it's no problem" except the problem of Ruby being in the room.
Joey was unsure, it was a lot to expect "Are you sure?" she asked anxiously.
"Totally!" Ruby beamed "Just wait until you see my bunk beds!"
