Anyhoo...lol here are chapters 3 & 4 for you all. Thanks for reading! and sorry for the long note lol

Bass sat down in front of his computer and combed his fingers through his hair. Then he rolled his eyes at himself. This is Charlie, there's no reason to be nervous.

But, it has been three weeks since she's been gone and this will be the first time they will actually get to see each other instead of a quick email here and there.

And besides, he reminded himself, she doesn't need to know that he trimmed his beard up and is wearing a new shirt.

His computer chimed letting him know he had a call on Skype. He hit the answer button and the next thing he saw was Charlie's smiling face.

In that moment it didn't matter that he hadn't seen her in almost a month, and it didn't matter how he looked, and he really didn't care what she thought about the big stupid grin he felt stretching across his face.

All that mattered was seeing the smile on her face and knowing that it was for him.

"Charlotte." He said

"Hey." She said, her smile, if it were possible, growing even wider. "It is so good to see your face." She said.

He just looked at her for a moment and sighed. "You have no idea how much I miss you." He said.

Charlie opened her mouth to respond but was cut off by another voice. "And who do we have here?" said the voice of another woman in the room as she came over and pushed into the picture with Charlie.

Charlie laughed. "This is Monica." She said to Bass. "And this is," but she was cut off once again.

"You must be the famous Sebastian Monroe." Monica said waggling her brows at Charlie.

Charlie rolled her eyes and Bass chuckled. "Well I don't know about famous, but yeah, that would be me. You can call me Bass." He said.

Monica shook her head and nudged Charlie's shoulder. "Oh no, she makes sure that your fame is real. You preface almost everything out of this girls mouth." She cleared her throat. "Sebastian says this and Sebastian says that…Bass did this, Bass went there." She laughed. "I feel like I know you already."

Charlie rolled her eyes again and shook her head and Monica glared at her playfully. "Excuse me, but after this trip is over I'm going to know more about your boyfriend than I do my own." She said with a laugh.

Charlie gave her a playful push on the shoulder. "Alright well go away now so I can learn more things to tell you about later." She said with a laugh in her voice.

That's when Bass's doorbell rang.

He thought about pretending he wasn't home, or asleep maybe, but decided it was best to answer it. Which was good when he found Miles on the other side. Better to answer the door than to have Miles walk in while Monica called Bass Charlie's boyfriend.

The computer screen was aimed towards the front door and Charlie's eyes widened when she saw her uncle walk in.

"Miles, hey what's up? Did we have plans?" Bass asked.

Miles shook his head as he walked farther into the house. "No I just thought I would drop by, see what you're up to today." He walked into the living room and Bass glanced around him and saw, to his relief, that Charlie was no longer on the screen.

Miles looked at the computer. "Were you talking to somebody?"

Bass opened his mouth, not really sure what he was going to say, when he heard Monica's voice over the speakers. "Hey I'm back now." She held up a bottle of water. "I was so thirsty." She said. "I had to go over there and grab some water." She said, pointing to somewhere off screen.

Bass got the message, Charlie was hiding.

Miles looked a little surprised. "Oh, sorry, am I interrupting something?" he asked, looking between Bass and he computer.

Bass nodded. "Yeah, uh, you remember you asked me last week if I were seeing anybody lately?"

Miles nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Yeah, and you said no."

Bass shrugged. "It's complicated, she's out of town, we were uh…video..chatting." he said, trailing off slightly at the end.

Miles continued to look at him with narrowed eyes, but nodded. "Alright, sorry to interrupt." He said. "Nice meeting you, sort of." He said to the computer screen where Monica was smiling like it was an everyday thing to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Miles looked at Bass as he headed for the front door. "Call me later when you have time, Rachel's car has a shimmy around the back tire, I could use some help with that."

Bass nodded. "Yeah sounds good, I'll come by later." He said as he closed the door in Miles face.

Leaning with one hand on the door, he dropped his head and sighed before heading back to the computer where Charlie was now on screen, laughing.

Bass flopped down on the couch and glared at her. "Oh yeah this is hilarious." He said. "Now when he finally finds out about us, he's going to think I was cheating on you." He nodded his head. "Yeah, double the reason to kill me."

But this only succeeded in making Charlie laugh harder. "I'm sorry." She said. "But that was, that was just too funny." She finally managed to get out.

Bass only raised a brow at her.

Monica chose that moment to make herself known once again. "I for one, think I did a fantastic job, very convincing."

Bass nodded. "Yeah, very convincing, and need I remind you both again, that because of that convincing job I'm going to die?" he said, pointing to himself.

Monica looked at Charlie. "Sorry I got your fella killed." She said. "But I'm going to go now, before I cause any more casualties." She said with a smile.

Bass stopped her first. "Hey seriously though, thank you. That was," he said. "not the right time for him to find out about this."

Monica smiled. "No problem, consider it a thank you for getting our girl here to come on this trip with us."

Bass nodded his head once in acknowledgement and Monica left, leaving the two alone. Or as alone as you can get over a computer.

Bass sighed and shook his head. "You're going to be the death of me Matheson."

Charlie smiled. "But you love me any way Monroe."

He nodded and smiled. "God help me, but I do."
