Chapter 19

Chuck smiled at Sarah knowingly, he felt good inside that she was impressed by the way he had opened the box.

"Let's see what we got." He grinned.

He opened it and revealed something strange, Chuck looked at Sarah again and Casey stood by the door, wondering what on earth was in there. Shocking them all, it suddenly sprayed out a mass of pink gas and getting it all over the them both.

"Casey, gas!" Sarah shouted.

"Get it off, get it off of me!" Chuck shouted as Casey slammed the door. Suddenly Sarah started to pull at his T-shirt, he looked at her with a bewildered expression amongst all the drama.

"Take your clothes off and get in the shower now, quick!" She screamed as they both pulled their clothes off. In any other circumstances Chuck might have felt excited but he was scared that he was going to die, yet he didn't feel any different. Yet.

Suddenly they were both in their underwear and sprinted towards the shower. Chuck didn't even have time to capture the sweet essence of his surroundings before being pushed into the shower, it was almost like a blur to him. Until now.

"Cold!" Chuck whimpered. "Cold, cold, cold, cold!"

"Use the soap!" Sarah instructed. She handed him the soap, but it slipped in his hand as her tried to get a firm grasp on it. He accidentally touched back and flat, concave stomach and she shuddered amongst all the haste, she felt goose bumps pricking on her wet skin, but she pushed all those feelings away.

"Sorry!" He stuttered. "I'm not trying to.."

She spoke over him and started to wash his face. "Wash your face properly." For the first time in a long while Sarah was actually scared, scared for them both, she didn't know if the water would even wash away the poison, what if he died without him knowing she loved him? What if they both died in pain, she thought of all the things she hadn't done, all the things she hadn't said.

Maybe she'd built up an immune system to it and maybe she would survive, but Chuck wouldn't. What if he died, what if she lost him? Even though he liked that bitch Jill, she still couldn't find it in her heart to hate him.

"And your hair!" She rubbed her hands through his hair, so that his face shook into her breasts, it was unintentional though, of course. He told himself not to look and that he had a girlfriend now but he couldn't stop the feeling arising in him, but he was scared to die. He didn't care what happened to himself, he just wanted Sarah to live. He felt so fiercely scared of her dying that he didn't even consider his own fate.

He ran his hands through his hair as the cold shower flattened his hair with water and he looked at Sarah, as if seeing her for the first time. Her body, just like her face, was gorgeous, her legs were long, thin and glistening with the wetness of the water, her stomach was flat and toned and the rest of her made him shudder in delight. He forgot about Jill, Jill who?

Still though, with the air of doomsday around him, he offered to wash her back and she hurriedly turned around and his hand lingered over her bra strap for a moment. He was overwhelmed with love and arousal, he stroked the area of skin around her bra and he couldn't breathe, all he could do was stare as the oxygen pumped out of him, he felt dizzy.

Sarah felt his hands on her, she knew he wasn't washing her. She felt the tenderness of his touch and suddenly her whole body went weak with want, she couldn't control it, it completely spasmed out of her reach. She wanted him so much it was unreal, she loved him so much that moment even though he was behind her, she could still feel her heart pumping quickly and the whirl in her stomach told her all she needed to know.

She couldn't control what happened next, she felt a magnetic force spinning her around and suddenly she was looking into his eyes just like it was the first time - it was new and scary and a wave of arousal washed over both of them. His eyes looked into hers and ran down her body just like the water was, hot and lingering. He felt a jolt convulse him and then he wasn't himself anymore, it sounded weird to him but he felt that their thoughts were in complete sync . Like they were merging into one.

Their connection was vastly intense, Sarah copied Chuck's motions and she looked him up and down, and to her he was perfect. Maybe he was to everyone, she didn't think that she could use the word beautiful to describe a man, but it was just the world she could think of for his self image. Or a word she had used before, amazing.

Their eyes met again and electricity zinged through the little room. He felt himself drawing closer to her as she did the same, the heat was building as was the want. He needed to stop himself before he got to far, but he found himself lacking self control. His lips came closer to hers as she gazed into his eyes, her pupils dilated with want.

Just as they were about to do something they may or may not have regretted, the door went. Chuck wasn't sure whether to be relieved or disappointed. His heart rate didn't slow though and neither did hers. She couldn't raise her eyes from the floor and looked away from him, she stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel without looking up.

Suddenly the thought that he may die hit him again and he had missed another opportunity, he sighed to himself as he saw Sarah retreat into her shell again and almost physically saw her assume the role of his handler again at the risk of Casey walking in on them, already she was standing taller and stronger, her amour was up again, but not as padded as before.

"That's Casey, we have no time to loose!" She shouted like an army cadet.

Chuck raced to the door with dripping wet hair as Sarah walked out of the bathroom in her underwear, she was shocked to see Jill, standing there looking confused and then - wrongly putting two and two together and getting three. Chuck meekly tried to explain but got nowhere. She said that she knew it and walked away as he shouted after her.

Chuck closed the door behind him sadly and Sarah guiltily felt glad that the evil brunette was gone. She wanted Jill to think they had been doing something they shouldn't. She sighed inwardly and began to get dressed, she caught his eye as she was pulling her jeans on and felt a familiar pang. She forced it away and then the door flung open to reveal it was Casey - who would really decide their fate.

Review please! All the ones I've had so far have been awesome, I never expected something like that! Keep them coming! It's amazing how I was only just fourteen this year when I started doing this and now because I've written I feel older somehow - I can't believe I'm going to be fifteen in less than four months. Time goes so fast!
