Chapter 20
Charlie took hold of Joey's hands and looked down at them. Her mouth opened as if to utter words, but no sound issued. She looked into her girlfriend's eyes almost imploringly as her need to be touched became overwhelming. Joey, reading the plea Charlie's eyes slowly stepped forward.
Their lips met in a soft embrace. Charlie's hands crept slowly up Joey's back sending tingles down her spine. Their lips moved gently together.
Joey broke away from Charlie's lips but keeping her hands upon her waist, slowly moved around behind her; her hands following gently. The hands moved from her waist up to the row of pretty buttons on the back of Charlie's dress. She started to undo them, one by one; very slowly. After the last button was unfastened, Joey's fingers tips caressed Charlie's arms, making Charlie shiver with pleasure.
She unpinned Charlie's hair allowing the long tresses to cascade about her shoulders, like a dark waterfall. She separated the shining hair at the nape of her neck and nuzzled her lips into Charlie's soft, ivory skin. She heard Charlie's shaky sigh as she enjoyed Joey's touch. Charlie's eyes closed; allowing her senses to overflow with relief and joy.
Joey slipped her hands inside the back of Charlie's dress and let her fingers slowly move over her hips and further around, allowing them to come to rest and play gently on Charlie's tummy. She heard Charlie breathing a little heavier and smiled to herself.
Her fingers slipped further down, tracing along the edge of her panty line. Then she slid them slowly back over Charlie's tummy again and up and over her breasts; her finger tips playing with the laced edge of Charlie's bra.
Charlie threw her head back onto Joey's shoulder enjoying the wonderful sensations which her lover was arousing within her; her breathing becoming a little irregular.
Joey moved her fingers to the front-fastening bra which Charlie was wearing and undid it, dextrously. Her breath touched Charlie's shoulder as she leaned against her body and a rush of emotion flooded through Charlie.
Charlie's shoulders drooped, allowing her dress to slip down casually. Joey could feel the warmth which she had ignited in Charlie's body; her bare skin beginning to glow. Joey slowly pulled the straps of Charlie's bra and it slid innocently down her slender arms.
Joey tongue caressed Charlie's shoulder; enjoying the salty sweetness of her glowing skin, and with her soft hands, gently caressed Charlie's breasts.
Charlie groaned as every pulse in her body throbbed unmercifully. After a few moments, Joey's fingers wandered back down over Charlie's tummy and along her hips.
Charlie moved her arms behind her and captured Joey's waist with her hands, pulling her as close to her body as possible and sighing; all her senses heightened and full of desire.
Joey kissed Charlie's neck and her fingers caressed Charlie's breasts; gently toying with her hardened nipples.
Charlie moaned and whispered.
"Joey..."
Leaving her breasts, Joey's hands moved slowly down over Charlie's stomach; one hand remaining and the other moving between the top of her thighs; feeling the warmth and clamminess of Charlie's furnace through her thin cotton underwear.
Charlie suddenly groaned very loudly and impatiently; her body shaking as Joey teased her skin. Unable to ignore the fluttering pulse between her legs any longer, Charlie swung around and captured Joey's lips in her own and pushed Joey down onto her bed, falling on top of her, their lips hardly losing contact.
Joey was surprised and delighted by Charlie's counter attack. She'd almost ripped open Joey's uniform blouse in her haste to undress her. Joey smiled and helped Charlie on her mission.
Charlie unhooked Joey's bra and pulled it away; throwing it to the floor. Her mouth greedily kissed Joey's neck and chest, working her way down to her breasts. Joey moaned softly as Charlie's mouth captured a nipple and teased it with her tongue. Joey ran her hands through Charlie's hair as it hung over her arms, adhering to her glowing skin.
Charlie reluctantly left Joey's breasts and straddled her thighs instead; undoing the buttons on Joey's uniform skirt. She wriggled it down over Joey's hips, frustrated as its neat, pencil-line style hugged her bones refusing to budge. Charlie's frustration turned into smiles of satisfaction as the garment surrendered and ended up on the clothes heap, piling nicely on the floor.
Both girls were now only dressed in panties and stockings.
Charlie unhooked Joey's suspenders and gently removed her stockings, slowly; one leg at a time.
Joey watched Charlie's progress delighted that Charlie was now comfortable enough to be taking charge in their love making.
Not having the patience to wait, Charlie removed her own stockings and swung them around and around in the air, dispatching them over to the other side of the room, with a cheeky grin. Joey giggled at her performance.
Charlie resumed her place with Joey on the bed but before Charlie had a chance to continue, Joey flipped her on her back and removed her panties throwing them somewhere in the room and then slipped her own off, too.
She knelt over Charlie looking down at her lover breathing heavily and out-stretched her hands to her. Charlie took them and Joey pulled her up so they were kneeling together, facing each other; their fingers interwoven. They lovingly looked into each other's eyes. Joey leaned in towards Charlie and gently kissed her lips.
"I love you, my darling. I love you so much."
"Joey, I love you too. I need you; I want you, please." Charlie replied urgently.
And with that, Joey guided Charlie back down onto the bed; starting their journey into another world; their bodies melting into one. Their hearts never to be divided.
***
Charlie groaned and gasped as Joey brought her to fever pitch. The bewitching spasm jolted through her body like delicious electric shocks; never before had she experienced such a powerful feeling in their love making. As her body calmed, she relaxed into Joey's waiting arms.
"Oh, Joey!" Charlie breathed. "Oh, Joey!"
Joey gently covered Charlie's lips with her own.
"Joey, I love you so much." Charlie said, wrapping her arms around Joey so tightly that Joey could hardly breathe.
They lay silently together for several minutes enjoying the afterglow of their love making. Holding each other tightly; rejoicing in the peace which they had found.
***
"You know what we should do now?" Joey said, smiling wickedly.
"What?" Charlie said, slightly relaxing her grip on her girlfriend.
"Eat. I'm starving!"
"JOEY!" Charlie yelled. "You've got no soul!"
"I know, but I have got a stomach and it's telling me to feed it. Wait there!" Joey said as she bounced out of bed heading for the sandwiches she'd left on the table, earlier.
Charlie giggled, watching her naked soul mate tripping over the abandoned clothing to locate their sustenance.
"Do you want a cold cup of tea?" Joey asked.
"Oh thanks a bunch!" Charlie said, with little enthusiasm.
Joey laughed and brought over their snack.
"Here." She said, feeding Charlie with sandwich. "Oops! Sorry about the crumbs!" She said smirking, as a piece of cheese and a slice of tomato fell from its bread and landed on Charlie's chest.
"You little rotter!" Charlie squeaked, "You did that on purpose!"
Joey laughed.
"I'll make it all better for you, shall I?" She said, leaning over and removing the stray sandwich contents with her mouth.
"Joey Collins!" Charlie cried, with a huge grin on her face. "I don't believe you just did that!"
"You wait 'til I dish up the tinned pears and custard!"
***
The next morning, Joey was up early and quietly got herself washed and dressed ready for work. Charlie slept through the whole thing. It wasn't until Joey placed her lips on hers, twice, that she awoke.
"Hey! Wake up sleepy." Joey said in Charlie's ear.
"No. Don't want to!" Charlie moaned in response.
"Look, breakfast!" Joey said, waving a slice of toast under Charlie's nose.
"Has it got butter on?" Charlie asked, not even opening her eyes.
"No sorry, only marg'. Come on Charlie, get those eyes open. I've got to go to work soon, and I want to see you awake properly before I disappear off."
Charlie opened her eyes as best she could.
"If you hadn't kept me awake half the night, I'd have been up hours ago." Charlie said, raising an eyebrow.
Joey placed the plate of toast and cup of coffee on the bedside cabinet and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Good morning." She said grinning at Charlie as she lay stretched out on the bed.
"Good morning." Charlie replied with a little shy smile.
"Why are you blushing?" Joey asked in amusement and brushed away a few stray hairs from Charlie's eyes.
"You know why."
Joey leaned over and kissed Charlie lightly on the lips.
"You needn't be shy, Charlie." Joey said sincerely.
Charlie entrapped her by wrapping her arms around her.
"Joey. Thank you for last night. Thank you for bringing me alive again."
Joey wrapped her arms around Charlie too, but didn't answer; a little choked by Charlie's words. She kissed the top of her head and made a hasty exit.
***
An hour later, Charlie had finished her breakfast, was washed and dressed and started to plan her day. It would be a long day without Joey. She considered walking into town and then perhaps strolling along the front to get some sea air. She picked up some stray items of clothing from the night before and folded them up. Grinning at the memories they evoked.
On impulse, she hand-washed a couple of Joey's uniform blouses , some panties and stockings and hung them to drip dry in the bathroom along the corridor, which was for the exclusive use of women only. By the time she had finished this and made the bed, it was nearly ten o'clock. She put on her jacket and hat, picked up her bag and headed for the door.

"Helen! How are you feeling today, sweetheart?" Joey asked during a visit to her friend in the sick bay.
"Josie, love. I'm middling', ta. What ya doing 'ere at this tarm of day?" Helen asked, glancing at the clock on the wall.
"I'm on a break, so thought I'd pop along to see if you wanted anything."
"I thought ya were gonna bring uz in Clarke Gable! I see he's not wi' ya!"
"He said he was too busy, but I managed to get you George Formby and his ukulele. He's waiting outside, d'ya want me to give him a call?" Joey grinned.
"Ee, Josie, you're a card!"
***
Charlie wandered around the town. She bought two post cards; one to send to Ruby and one to send to Tom and Edna and decided to write them when she had some lunch. She purchased a magazine and managed to buy a few apples. One she would eat for her lunch and take the other's back to the hotel. She was just leaving the shop when she heard her name being called.
"Charlie!" It was a male voice with an accent.
Charlie looked in its direction and was shocked to see the American GI, Brad.
"Charlie!" He said as she ran to join her. "What a coincidence!"
"Brad! What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was trying to find your friends, Joey and Helen, to find how I could get in contact with you, Ma'm."
"Why?" Charlie asked, already having a good idea of what it was.
"Charlie, is there somewhere we can talk? Maybe get a cup of coffee or something?" He said, imploringly.
Charlie felt awkward. This wasn't a good idea. She didn't want to hurt the poor guy, but there was too much at stake with Joey for anymore misunderstandings.
"I'm sorry, Brad. I don't think it's a good idea."
"Well, maybe we could just sit on that bench down by the sea and I can explain myself." He said, pointing out a bench.
"Well, I don't have a lot of time."
"This won't take long, believe me!" Said the American, sincerely.
Charlie nodded her assent and they walked towards the sea front.
"Charlie, you may think me impulsive and maybe that's what I am, but I fell head over heels for you the moment I laid on you. When you disappeared that night, I wanted to follow, but Helen said you were feeling unwell. Then I hoped that you might ring me, but you never did. So, when Chuck mentioned that Helen had given him her address, I thought it would be a way to get hold of you. But to actually run into you here in Great Yarmouth – it's like it was meant to be!"
"Brad, I'm sorry, I don't want to..."
"Hello there!" A young woman in uniform said cheerfully to Charlie as she passed by.
Charlie looked up and smiled. Although she vaguely recognised the girl's face, she couldn't place her.
"Charlie, please? Give me a chance! Let me show you that I love you and care for you. I'll give you everything!"
"Brad, I don't want everything!"
"Charlie, we'll be shipping out soon, and I want to know you'll be waiting when I get back. Please, Ma'm! I want to marry you!"
Charlie was so shaken by his words that she was speechless.
"Ma'm, marry me and let me take you back home – or if you prefer, we'll stay here. I just love you and need you so!"
"Brad! Stop, please! I'm flattered that you feel this way, but my heart belongs to another!"
Brad's face dropped.
"Another?" He asked quietly.
"Yes, another. Someone who I'll love 'til I die. We have no future together, Brad. Please don't do this to yourself."
Brad swallowed.
"Is he away at war?" He asked.
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, I had no idea. If you'll excuse me." He said, rising and began to walk away.
"Brad! I'm sorry..."
Charlie closed her eyes and felt guilt creep over here. But why guilt?
***
Joey was walking up the stairs of her billet after her day at work. She met Chrissie, the ATS girl, who was just on her way out.
"Hi, Jo. Did you catch up with Helen?"
"Yeah, she's in the sick bay; a bit under the weather. Should be out by Sunday, so they tell her."
"Sorry to hear, that. Give her my love when you see her next. By the way, when you see your other friend, tell her she's got great taste in GI's, won't you?" Chrissie said, winking at Joey and continued on her way.
Joey stood and watched Chrissie exit the building. Who was she talking about?
O-oh!
