I've decided to write this instead of completing my already late work.

Love Like Fools

Chapter 5

*Charlotte POV*

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" Amy asks me as we make our way to the kitchen.

I can't help but smile at the offer. I've had friends with benefits relationships before but Amy's different.

I try not to think too much about it.

"I'll just take a water please."

After nodding, Amy walks over to the fridge as I sit atop the kitchen counter.

Admiring her loose sweatpants and bra clad chest, the words are out of my mouth before I think about the effect they could have. "You know you still haven't taken me out on a date."

The back of Amy's head hits the top of the fridge and she releases a hiss of pain.

Standing up, Amy rubs the back of her head, "I didn't think you would want to do that."

My face contorts in a mixture of confusion and a bit of disappointment. "It's stupid. Forgot I said it."

"Hey." A warm palm lifts my chin and green eyes meet my own.

"It's not stupid. If that's what you would like, we could do it some time." Her voice is calm and tender.

Something warm blossoms inside of me and I don't know what to do except wrap my arms around her shoulders.

Instantly, her arms hold my waist and lips brush against my neck.

Hugging her hips with my legs, I have no control over the smile that takes over my face.

Resting my forehead against Amy's, I sigh before pressing my lips to hers.

"I'd like that."

*Amy POV*

Just do it you wuss.

My thumb hovers over Charlotte's contact.

"Oh fuck it." With a rush of braveness, I press the call button.

Ring. Maybe this isn't such a good idea.

Ring. What if she says no?

Ring. She probably already has plans.

"Amy?" Charlotte's voice comes through the phone.

"Hi." That's all you can say Amy? Real cool of you.

Her giggle causes my cheeks to heat up in embarrassment. You've slept with the girl countless times and this makes you nervous?

"Amy? Are you okay?"

"Ya. Yes. I'm fine." My answer makes me face palm.

Charlotte laughs again, "If you say so."

It's now or never.

"Would you like to see a movie with me Saturday night?"

The slight pause and sound of clearing her throat makes me panic. "If you're busy it's fine. I was just asking. Sorry I-"

"Yes."

Wait what? Did she? "Did you-"

"Yes Amy." The calmness of her voice makes me feel stupid about being so nervous over this.

Ring. Ring.

I lift my head from the pillow, groggy with sleep. What the..?

Ring. I search for the phone, running my hands through the sheets.

Ring.

Why did I leave it on loud? Where is that little bast-. Ah ha.

I frown when I read…Karma? The screen says it's 2:14am.

Sliding my thumb across the phone I answer the call. "Hey are you-?"

"Can you come over?" I frown at Karma's broken words, mixed with her crying.

I sit up in bed, picking up a sweater from the floor of room. "Ya I'll be right over."

Jogging up the Ashcroft porch, I open the front door with the spare key Karma gave me in our middle school days.

Quietly closing the door behind me, I let the muffled sounds of crying lead me to Karma's room.

Taking a deep breath, I open the door to see her curled up on her bed, clutching a pillow to her chest.

I lift the covers to lay next to her shaking form.

I sigh, wiping some of the tears on her cheek with the pad of my thumb. "Who am I burying?"

Her sobs get louder and all I can do is wrap her in my arms.

Karma's head lifts from my chest, "L-Liam. He said. He said I can't-"

She stops mid-sentence, clinging to my shirt. I'm going to strangle this guy.

I rub circles on her back, holding her tighter to me.

"Karma, you don't need Liam Booker. You deserve the best damn thing in this world."

The shaking lessens and her body shifts against mine.

I'm frozen in place when her hand curls around my neck and her lips are suddenly on mine.

What is she doing?

It's been months since those lips have been on my own but they're exactly like I remember.

But memories of her singing, asking me to have a threesome with Liam, breaking my heart cloud my mind and I pull away. Sounds of our deep breathing fill the silence.

"Karma..." I want to tell her no. That this is not fair. But her hands around my neck readjusts, pulling me back towards her and I'm weak.

So I let her kiss me again and again.

Her tongue works its way into my mouth and my grip tightens before I roll on top of her, Karma's back to the mattress.

But flashes of blonde hair and different moans flash behind my eyes and it takes all my strength to stand up from the bed.

I distance myself, rubbing my face with the heels of my palms as I walk to the other side of the room.

"Amy I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

Tears spring to my eyes and I flee the room, ignoring Karma's pleas to come back.

Because I'm a moron, it took me 7 times to successfully upload this chapter.

And I'm sorry if this chapter is a little short!
