"This shouldn't have happened." Joey moved away from the wall and started to adjust her jeans. She pulled up the zip and closed the button.
"Way to let a girl down Joey," Toni said, her voice laden with annoyance "So who was that?"
Charlie had completely caught her off guard. Why wasn't she with her boyfriend, why had she come looking for her?
Joey didn't know what to do; she looked around the office, unsure of what she was looking for.
"Joey?" Toni called again trying to get her attention. With one hand on her hip she stared at Joey.
"What?" Joey looked up. "Toni I've got to go."
"But Joey…" Toni tried again as Joey moved towards the door.
"Toni there's nothing to talk about, this was a huge mistake."
She didn't get a chance to respond, Joey had already left the office.
It was nearing three a.m. and Luke was cleaning up the club with two of the part timers. Joey rushed out of the office and without much explaining she had told them she needed to go and left the keys for them to lock up. He had seen the tall brunette flee from the office a short while ago, clearly there was something going on.
Joey clung to the steering wheel as if her life depended on it. In truth it did. She tried to ring Charlie but to no avail. She needed to see her and explain things; although it seemed hopeless right now Joey didn't know what else to do. Eyes focused on the road ahead, she nervously bit on her bottom lip. Then suddenly a thought struck Joey; what if she had brought her boyfriend home? Joey was nearing Charlie's house and she hadn't thought logically about what would happen if he was there, there was no doubt Charlie wouldn't want to see her. But had she come looking for Joey in the first place? There were so many questions, and so little answers.
Joey pulled the handbrake and released her seat belt as her car came to a halt outside Charlie's house. It was now the nerves started to set in. What was she doing here? Joey didn't know, but one thing she was certain of was she needed to get her girl back. Her hands were shaking gently as she walked up to the back door. The house was in darkness. Joey pulled her mobile from her pocket and tried one last time to call Charlie.
"Fuck." Joey cursed herself for seeking comfort with Toni, and fooling herself into believing Toni could provide the love she felt around Charlie. She cursed herself for letting Charlie get away from her in the first place, and finally, she cursed herself for falling so deeply for Charlie Buckton.
Joey crept over to the kitchen window and peeked inside, but there was no light. Moving back over to the door, Joey knocked softly on the wood and called Charlie's name. Ruby was probably at home and sleeping, and waking her would only arise more questions.
She rested her forehead against the door and closed her eyes. What have I done?
Emotion tried to find its way into her mind, but she stood up refusing to get upset, now wasn't the time for tears.
She turned slightly, looking into the darkness of the lonely night and noticed Charlie's car parked around the side. She's definitely here.
Charlie sat in her dark room on the edge of her bed semi undressed. Where did it all go wrong? She rested her head in her hands and massaged her temples, and her hair cascaded down over her bare shoulders as she forced her eye lids shut. Things had gone beyond repair and she was well and truly alone and out of the race. Charlie exhaled heavily, her breath quivering as tears threatened.
At that exact moment Joey lurked outside Charlie's bedroom, the curtains were pulled so she couldn't make out if there was any light coming from there. From the corner of her eyes, Joey noticed the window was open ever so slightly. Taking her phone she dialled Charlie's number once again. As the number dialled, Joey could hear the shrieking of Charlie's mobile coming from her bedroom.
"Just leave me alone." Charlie spat down the line.
"Charlie just hear me out ok?" Joey didn't expect her to answer, but at least now she knew she was inside.
"Go fuck yourself Joey, or actually maybe now you have Toni I'm sure she'd only be too obliging." Charlie replied with contempt, and hung up.
Joey was unable to respond, she had never heard Charlie speak with such hatred. Without a second thought Joey stepped over the flowers and pushed Charlie's window up. Using her arms as a lever, Joey pushed them firmly against the window ledge. Laying flat she swung one leg inside quickly followed by the second. Joey pushed the curtain aside. Charlie was facing away and spun around upon hearing the loud thud on the floor.
"Joey!" She shrieked, and made an attempt to cover her bare chest. "Get out." Charlie growled in a low voice after steadying her heart rate.
"Charlie… please." Joey begged as she stood still.
"I have nothing to say to you Joey, leave." Charlie grabbed a large t-shirt from her bed and pulled it over her head.
"No." Joey said confidently, she was adamant Charlie would listen to what she had to say. She kept her eyes fixed on Charlie's, now wasn't the time for enjoying her flawless physique.
Charlie stepped forward, anger coursing through her veins "Get. Out." She took hold of Joey's arm. But Joey was quick to shrug it off.
"I saw you kissing your ex." It slipped out of her mouth before she had a chance to stop it.
Charlie let her hand drop to her side, completely taken aback by Joey's revelation.
"It was nothing." Charlie tried to justify herself, thinking maybe things weren't what they had seemed.
"Yeah well, it was kinda hard to tell what it was when your tongue was half way down his throat."
Hearing Joey's bitter words, she turned around and walked over to her bed; but remained standing. "It didn't mean anything." She finally said.
"Like us?" Joey couldn't hold back, hurt rushing to the surface.
Charlie didn't reply, instead she carefully looked up. She shrugged.
"I think I get what you mean." Joey nodded slowly, and turned to face the window, prepared to leave. "I don't need to be told twice."
She stopped briefly and turned around when she heard the smallest of sobs escape Charlie's lips, but Charlie turned away.
Her mind battled furiously with her heart, she knew she should leave but she had never felt like this before. She inhaled deeply. "When I saw you kissing him, I… I can't explain how I felt... What I feel for you I've never felt that way about anyone before."
Charlie's eyes met Joey's.
"Did you decide that before or after you let her fuck you?"
Joey flinched at Charlie's harsh words, and chose to ignore the stab.
"You kissed your ex Charlie!" Joey cried.
"It was only a kiss Joey, a kiss! You had sex with that girl, so don't try to act the innocent victim here."
"Charlie I'm not trying to play innocent I'm trying to tell you how I feel."
They stood metres apart.
"I don't want to hear it. Its too late Joey, just leave."
Joey shuffled from foot to foot, her frustration building up.
"I'm not leaving until you listen, Charlie." Joey retorted.
"I don't want you here Joey! I don't want this."
"Just listen Charlie… What I feel-"
Charlie cut across her "Actions speak louder than words Joey…" Charlie shouted, taking a step forward.
"I'm sorry Charlie I'm so so sorry. It broke my heart seeing you with him," Joey noticed Charlie was about to speak "And before you say it, I know it doesn't excuse what I did."
"It doesn't come near to excusing it! God Joey you had sex with her right there in your office!" Charlie roughly ran her fingers through her hair.
Joey was on the verge of tears, she was so frustrated and her heart was aching.
"Charlie you ignored me when we went out for dinner, and you still haven't told me what that was about."
"It doesn't matter now." Said accusingly; yet again having another dig at Joey.
"Charlie it does to me!" Joey stepped forward.
"Joey you had sex with her!" Charlie shouted angrily, the reality of it all hitting her. "I want you to leave now."
Joey lunged forward and shouted into Charlie's face. "I KNOW! I know Charlie and I made a mistake ok, one that I'll never forgive myself for."
"I don't want to hear this not now get out." Charlie moved forward and grabbed Joeys arm "GET OUT!"
Charlie pulled Joey towards the door. Joey struggled against Charlie's strong grip on her arm.
Just as Charlie slightly loosened her grasp and reached out to open the door with her free hand, Joey turned and pressed her lips against Charlie's.
"Joey stop it!" Out of all things, she had not expected this.
"Charlie…" Joey whimpered as her cheeks became wet.
Joey was crying freely now, and reached up to seek Charlie's lips again.
"Joey please stop!" Charlie said shakily.
Joey took hold of Charlie's arms and pushed her against the door. She attempted to kiss her.
Charlie turned her head to the side, avoiding Joey's lips. "Joey you need to go home." Charlie managed through her tears.
"Charlie, please..." Joey fell forward onto Charlie's chest and buried her face in her neck, inhaling her scent.
Charlie strained her neck away from Joey's touch, but it wasn't enough. Joey kissed her neck softly.
"I said no Joey." Charlie caught her, and shoved her away.
"You can't hop from her bed to mine!" Charlie roared, her anger returning but the tears stayed.
Joey closed her eyes for a few moments and pulled Charlie forward, she kissed her with full force.
Charlie pressed her lips firmly against Joey's and caressed them with her own. She moaned softly into Joey's mouth before pulling away ever so slightly.
"No…" she said half-heartedly, her mouth millimetres away from Joey's.
Charlie moved her head slightly, and let her eyes meet Joeys. The feeling of Joey's warm breath on her swollen lips was proving to be too much of a temptation. With tears flowing down her cheeks she reached forward and locked their lips.
It didn't take long for the rawness of the emotions the evening had brought to take over. Their tongues fought angrily, beating against one another for dominance over the others mouth. Moans flowed freely between the two busy mouths, as their bodies pushed forcefully together. Joey pushed hardest, and succeeded in trapping Charlie between the door and her body.
Charlie ran her hands the length of Joey's body before pushing them in between their bodies and locating the buttons on Joey's shirt. She pulled hard on either side of the material bringing the buttons to spring from the fabric and land scattered on the wooden floor.
Joey shoved Charlie's loose t-shirt up over her free breasts and with anything but a gentle touch, caressed them both with the palms of her hands. Lips stayed locked the entire time, with only their body's noises filling the darkness of the room.
Charlie gasped loudly as Joey caressed her roughly, Joey had always been a tender lover but now with only sheer lust and heartache driving her, she was quite the opposite.
Their breathing rates continued to escalate as did their assault on each others body. Joey removed her hands from Charlie's now pink breasts and went in search of the button and zip of Charlie's jeans. Using both hands she battled with the button before pulling the zipper down.
She didn't hesitate in delving her hand behind the silken fabric of Charlie's thong. Her hand travelled over Charlie's pubic bone.
Charlie spread her legs purposefully and gave her hips one thrust forward. Joey ran her middle finger the length of her slit.
Joey shuddered against Charlie's body as her finger tips felt the wetness trickle from Charlie's womanhood.
Joey's mouth left Charlie's as she buried her face in Charlie's neck. She opened her mouth wide wanting to taste as much of her as possible. She sank her teeth into Charlie's neck, bringing Charlie to shout out with pleasure.
Charlie held firmly onto Joey's hair, running her fingers through it.
Joey sucked and bit Charlie's neck, with her free hand she let it roam behind Charlie and down beneath the denim of her jeans. She clasped her hand tightly onto Charlie's buttocks as her fingers slid into Charlie's sweltering haven.
Joey moaned as she felt Charlie's body welcome her so willingly. With one hand on her buttock, she held Charlie firmly against her as she continued to delve her fingers in and out of Charlie's most intimate place.
Charlie cried aloud as Joey bit her neck and penetrated her.
"Uh, uh uhh" She moaned with each thrust. Her eyes were screwed shut; she could see only darkness as her orgasm approached. Charlie wanted to hold it off for as long as possible, not wanting to have to separate from Joey. But her body had other plans.
"Oh god!" Joey moaned huskily into Charlie's neck. "I love you…"
Charlie's climax came moments later; she pushed her hips forward one last time, she arched her back, flung back her head and let her body take over.
One high pitched moan later and Charlie shuddered limply against Joey. After a minute or so Charlie prised Joey's body away from her.
Removing her hands from inside Charlie's underwear Joey obeyed her wishes and took a small step back.
Charlie wiped the sweat from her brow and avoided Joey. She quietly pulled her top back down to cover her breasts, and did up the zipper on her jeans.
"Charlie…" Joey began her voice still hoarse.
"I am… I think you should go." Charlie said quietly, her eyes fixed on the floor.
