Morning my lovelies! It's currently 11:11 in MEXICO! yes that's right I'm in Mexico! that's totally on the sidebar though, I Pm'd a few of you a few days ago to let you know what's up but i managed to get some interwebs and update. But go ahead and enjoy this chapter and I will see you beautiful people at the bottom

Arriving back at the house they piled out of the car and onto the front lawn. "So I'll see you guys at dinner?" Charlie asked leaning against her car door.

"Yah, you sure you can't hang out until then?" Miles asked also leaning against her car.

"Unfortunately I'm getting some furniture delivered and today was the only day they could do it, They're showing up in a couple hours and I have to move stuff around to make room." She explained sighing.

"That sucks, wish I could help but I promised your dad that I would help him out with something after our games day." Miles said apologetically.

"That's ok, I'm not going in but tell the fam I say hi and I'll be back around 5:30ish for dinner." Charlie hugged her uncle before turning and grabbing the door handle.

"Hey Bass." Miles said suddenly making Charlie stop. "Why don't you go with Charlie? help her out, you'll be bored here I can promise that." Miles said obviously.

"Uh... Sure, you ok with that Charlie?" Bass asked shifting from one foot to the other.

"Yah, I could use the help." She flashed him a wicked grin before getting in her car.

Bass shifted uneasily again before stepping around Miles towards the passenger door. "I'll call when we're on our way back." Bass said before ducking into the car.

Charlie backed out the drive and smiled at Bass. "Sorry Miles volunteered you, guess your stuck with me."

Bass shrugged. "Worse people I could be stuck with." He winked at her and looked back at the road.

half an hour later they were pulling up to her apartment building. "Hope you don't have a thing with heights." Charlie said walking up to the front door.

"Not really why?" Bass asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well when I applied here the only apartment available was the one on the top floor..." Charlie clicked the lock and swung the door open as Bass stepped back and looked up.

"Wow..." He said staring at the twenty story building.

"Yah, now come on." Charlie held the door smiling at Bass who hurried through the door. "Thankfully we have an elevator so no stairs for us." Charlie pushed the button hoping the doors would open right away.

"Aw, to bad." Bass crossed his arms.

"What?" Charlie looked up at him. "Whats to bad?"

Bass grinned down at her. "Was hoping to race you up."

It was Charlie's turn to raise her eyebrows. "We could but it's still twenty flights of stairs." She said skeptically.

"That's-" He never got to finish his sentence because Charlie had already bolted down the hall towards the fire door to the stairs. "You sneaky little twit." Bass said laughing as he ran after her. By the time Bass caught sight of her again she was already up a floor and a half, his longer legs allowed him to eat up the distance between them by three stairs at a time. Catching her on a landing he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close as he backed into the wall, Charlie squealed unable to hide her surprise. Charlie's back was flush against his chest, something she was made very aware of when he started nuzzling her neck.

"Bass..." Her face held it's smile but her breath was short.

He hummed into her neck in response, not stopping his nuzzling. Charlie turned in his arms so she was facing him, Bass lifted his head and looked into Charlie's big blue eyes.

"Bass." Her voice was quiet, she didn't know what to say or do.

"Charlie I-I'm sorry..." Bass made to move away but was stopped by Charlie's hands gripping the collar of his shirt.

"Don't be." She whispered the words as she leaned in, tilting her head ever so slightly as a signal for him to make what ever move he felt.

Bass tightened his grip on her waist, his hands spreading across the small of her back as he pulled her closer again. He lowered his head, his heart racing as it jumped into his throat. He didn't know why he was so nervous this time, he'd already kissed her once but being alone, really being alone changed everything.

He closed his eyes and kissed her, softly and carefully he kissed her. The moment he had, every nerve ending in his body exploded and that's when he realized what was happening to him.

Charlie reveled in his kiss and his touch, she couldn't help the noises that escaped her has he deepened the kiss, it wasn't needy and rushed but it was sweet and amazing. It was a kiss she wished would never end, she wanted to stay in his arms, warm comfortable and safe feeling.

Her hands released their death grip on his shirt and smoothed out over his shoulders, one hand creeping its way up to rest on the back of his neck. Pulling back slightly Charlie broke the kiss to Look at him. "Bass, what are we doing?"

"That is a very good question." He replied quietly. "I suppose that depends on what we want?"

"Heavy question..." Charlie looked down at his chest as she smoothed her hands over his shirt. "I know what I want, but I don't really want to dive in nose first only to find out you want something completely different." She finished still not looking up at him.

Bass pulled her into a tight hug as he rested his chin on the top of her head. He held her for what felt like forever before he pushed her back slightly and tilted her chin up with his finger. "Charlie, there is no pressure here, none at all. We can figure this out right now or we could go up to your appartement and do what we came to do or keep kissing I'm cool with any decision." He said a cheeky grin spreading across his face at the last part.

Charlie scoffed at him in mock hurt. "We'll we could do two of those things..." she said backing up out of his arms toward the staircase. "But you're going to have to catch me first." She stuck her tongue out at him and sprinted up the stairs.

"You're going to get it now." He growled after her chasing her up the stairs.

"Bring it old man." she shouted from two flights up, her laughter echoed in the halls.

Bass couldn't help but smile, he loved her laugh and he loved that he was the one causing it. "Ah, Charlotte you wound me." He stopped when he heard her footsteps stop, then slow start again but coming down the stairs.

He stood stupidly waiting on the stairs when she reappeared at the top of the landing. "What did you call me?" she asked eyeing him.

"Oh... Uh, I'm really sorry it just popped out." He threw his hands in the air as he backed himself down the stairs again.

Charlie made her way down the stairs and right up to Bass before she grabbed his face and kissed him again. He was surprised by the force but was pleasantly surprised by it. Before he could touch her to respond properly she was gone again. He looked at her as she wore her wicked grin. "Maybe we should take the elevator?" he suggested slyly.

Charlie smiled innocently at him before disappearing through the door, that's when he knew he was screwed.

Hola! so the deal-o is that I'm currently in the middle of a huge move, I'm moving houses but it worked out a little weird that i ended up homeless for 15 days, we had to be out by the 1st but don't get our new apartment until the 15th... what a bummer, so instead of spending a whole 15 days with my boyfriends parents (who are very nice btw) we decided to go to mexico in the in between time. worked out nicely i think. So because of this weird move I won't have interwebs again until the 15th at the earliest, i shot out this chapter on the flight here and got some interwebs time so I decided to post and let everyone know whats what. I didn't forget about you or these stories. I'm working on the next chapter for Holding on, so when I'm back expect a chapter or two for each story to come out.

Love you all and see you in a week or so so much hearts and love! leave me a lovely comment I will see them and love them all :)
