Chapter 4
As Charlotte left on of the bunk rooms after saying to Ace that she was going to have one last look around Red Dwarf by herself, Rimmer rushed past her nearly knocking her over
"Rimmer, what's up? Hey Rimmer wait up" Come on slow down!" called Charlotte trying to keep up "Hey, stop. What's up? What happened? Have you been crying? Rimmer, look at me. What's wrong?"
"I'm fine," Rimmer replied trying to get passed Charlotte "Charlotte, please I don't want to talk about it ok"
"I'm not moving until you tell me the truth. Rimmer I've known you to long, so come on what's up?" Charlotte asked putting a hand on Rimmer's cheek
"Charlotte, please"
"If your worried about him coming to find me don't. I've told him I was going for a walk and I didn't want him to come"
"Its not that, its just..." Rimmer said trailing of at the end
"`Its just...' what?" asked Charlotte. No replie. "Rimmer, please answer me `its juts...' what? What we're you going to say?"
"Rimmer, I won't ask again, what were you going to say? Please tell me? Sweetheart, please tell me?"
Instead of answering her, Rimmer kissed her, slowly and softly at first then it became more deeper, more longing and more passionate and instead of trying to pull away to ask her question again, Charlotte sliped one arm around Rimmer's neck, knotting her fingers in his hair whilst she wrapped her other arm around his waist holding him in place and not wanting the kiss to end.
2 hours later in another one of the bunk rooms, Charlotte yawned, turned over and found what she thought was a dream, actually happened, because there was Rimmer lying next to her, with his arms wrapped around her, smilling at her
"Hey" said Charlotte propping herself up
"Hey," Rimmer said also proppong himself up "So...um...not to ruin anything but...don't you think someone will be wondering where you are"
"Oh I think I can make up an excusse for why things took so lokng" giggled Charlotte as she and Rimmer shared another long and passsionate kiss(s).
