And the torture is over. This chapter is going to be one of the longest. NOW READ TY'S POV!

Chapter 10

My life was changed. I couldn't believe this was happening. I didn't think that I wanted this but I loved it. I didn't want it to stop. I think my wish might have come true (A/N refer to chapter 3 where they make wishes at the fountain in Angeles. Sorry to interrupt.)

Charlie had started to pull back in the kiss, but I wrapped my arms around Charlie's waist. I urged her to keep going, I didn't even think about it, I just did. She seemed to be surprised that I was responding this way. I didn't want to stop, I couldn't let it stop. Why was I kissing my best friend? I was pretty sure I liked her.

She wrapped her legs around my waist. I moved my hands to her thighs. I kept her to me. I started to walk out of the water and onto the beach. I pulled away and put her down. I looked into her ocean eyes.

'What was that?' I love her voice. She didn't get her mother's musical ability, but her voice was like a song.

'I don't know.' Neither of us looked away from each other's eyes.

'Do you like me?' All I wanted to do was scream yes in her face. But my voice was no longer in me. I lowered my lips to hers to answer her. She seemed to get my message. She pulled away again against my will. She smiled into my lips, which made me smile.

'I like you too.' Her face went grim.'Ty what if this doesn't work out. Our friendship would be rui-' I silenced her with another kiss. She started this and I couldn't stop myself. I wouldn't let this be ruined

'Should we do this?' She seemed very skeptical, but hopeful.

'Yeah, I felt weird around you the other day and now that you have kissed me, I know I like you. I don't want to stop kissing you now,' I flashed her a smile. She smiled back.'I think we should keep this on the down low. Test it out. No displays in public. We don't want to build up hope of people.'

'Yeah I get it. So slow?' I nodded. I smiled at her.

'Do you want to kiss me again?' I nodded and leaned into her. My lips met hers, I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. I pulled her towards the water, not bothering to break the kiss.

I picked her up and brought her farther into the water. She giggled.

'You are so beautiful.' I pulled back to look at her. She blushed and look down.

'Says the one with perfect hair.' She put her hand through my hair. I pulled her into a hug. She whispered into my neck,'I love your strong arms. They make me feel so safe, savior' That made me smile, she felt safe in my arms. I had a crazy idea.

'Hey, follow me,' I grabbed my gir- Charlie's hand. I brought her up to the top of the falls. It was only about a 10 foot jump, but it was a jump. Because we came here so often, the safety was tested.

'What are you doing?' She caught on.'Oh, nononononononono.'

'Come on, you said you felt safe in my arms.' She blushed. She was so cute when she blushed. 'Fine but you owe me.' I was fine with that. I turned to face Charlie,

'Three?' I wondered if she was ready. She smiled wickedly.

'Two…' This was it.

'One!' We flew threw the air. We let go about halfway down. The water surrounded us. I saw Charlie reach the surface. I gave her a second before I came up right under her. She screamed, that got the guard's attention. We both froze.

'It's okay Officer, we're fine.' The officer turned around again. We both had forgotten that he was there.

'I forgot he was here. We will have to tell him to ignore what he saw. We don't want this out just yet.' Charlie nodded in agreement. I just looked into her eyes. We were both panting from treading water do much. I just smiled. I was so happy from this day. I had a girl that I really like and she likes me. And the best part is that we are best friends. If this works out, then I will get to marry my best friend.

'Let's go eat some more food.' She just nodded. I held her hand once we could stand. We both dryed off and sat down on the blanket. I sat up with my legs out. Charlie snuggled into me. We both just ate and watched the world around us.

We stayed all day. Once the evening came, we were both a little cold and decided to go in. As we walked back, we stopped by the officer.

'Excuse me officer-' The officer responded immediately. 'Axton'

'Officer Axton, but it would be appreciated if you ignore everything you saw here. We would like to keep this quiet. I hope that there isn't anything going around tomorrow.' He nodded towards Charlie after she said that.

'Of course your highness.' With that we made our way back to the palace.

'So do you want to watch a movie?' Charlie asked me hopefully. Again we had watched all of them.

'Sure what movie do you want to watch?'

'I don't care do you want to just watch the first one that comes up?' I nodded that was a good idea. Once we got into her room, Charlie went to her closet and changed into some pajamas. She came out with a pair of cotton pajama pants. I kept some clothes in here because when I was in Illea, I spent most of my time with Charlie. We settled onto the couch and Charlie snuggled into me. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead. She sat up. I looked at her confused,

'We were just getting comfortable.' I whined and pouted out my bottom lip. Charlie leaned forward and kissed it.

'I just want to say goodnight to my parents so we are free and we don't get interrupted.' She smiled wickedly. I knew we would never get far, because of the law and she is the law. Charlie grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her parents room. Once we got there, she knocked on the door. We tried to position ourselves as normally as we could.

'Hey Mom, hey Dad, we got back awhile ago. Also goodnight.' Her parents looked up from what they were doing.

'Goodnight Bean,' Uncle Maxon went back to his documents.

'Goodnight sweetie,' Aunt America went back to her book. We walked out of the room. And ran back to Charlie's room.

'All set.' She flashed me a simple smile, but her eyes said otherwise.

'What about the movie?'

'It's fine we have already seen it. That can be in the background.' She lead me over to the couch. She leaned forward and softly placed her lips on mine. I leaned more into it. Charlie put her hands around my neck and dug her hands into my hair. This caused me to moan, and her to smile. I pulled her closer to me by putting my arms around her waist. She leaned so far into the kiss, that she fell into my lap. Her legs were straddling me. When I started to suck on her bottom lip, she pulled back.

'We are going slow.' she reminded me.

'I know,' I sighed. I was tired and there was nothing else to do, 'Want to go to bed now?' She looked at me and nodded. I turned to TV off. I laid back down onto the couch. Charlie snuggled in between the couch and me. I put my arm around her to keep her close. Charlie had grabbed a blanket and put it on top of us.

'Do you think my maids will be suspicious if they find us like this in the morning?'

I kissed her forehead, 'We will be okay, it wouldn't be the first time.' she nodded into my chest.

'Hey do I still owe you from earlier?'

'No, that kiss covered it.' I kissed her head and fell asleep with a smile on my face.

I woke up at 7 a.m. I saw the bathroom door open slightly. I got up and opened it quietly. Charlie was standing at the mirror, so I walked over and put my arms around her.

'Goodmorning Charlie' I kissed her neck, just as I started to kiss more intensely, Charlie moaned out,

'Goodmorning Ty' She sounded so sexy when she said it.

'Jeez, I wish we started this earlier. I wished I realized I liked you earlier, so I could realize how sexy you are.' I practically growled it out. She turned around in my arms, she looked side to side then her glance landed back on me. Her lips met mine in a soft kiss. I went back to where we were last night, I started to suck on her bottom lip. It was her turn to moan. I pulled back and saw her frown.

'I know that we are trying to go slow, but we are going fast. It HAS been only a day.' She nodded and pecked my lips.

'I know Ty, but we are making up for lost time.' Charlie returned to kissing me. We stopped when we heard her door open. Quicky, we separated and I went to her second sink. I started to wash my face and act like I would if I had slept over like normal. Her maids popped their heads in. Sophia said,

'Your high-'

'It's Charlie, how many times have I told you guys this.' Charlie looked a little pissed, I'm not sure if it was about the name or the fact that they interrupted our kiss.

'Charlie, it's time to get you ready, your brother would like to meet with you before breakfast.' She looked towards me,' You need to go too, he wants to meet with you also.'

'Thank you,' I looked towards Charlie,' See you later.' She tried to hide her smirk. She was failing, I knew that us trying to hide our relationship wouldn't last long.

I walked towards my room. I put on a simple suit. When I was finished I waited a little bit. Charlie would be ready in about a half hour. I read one of the books in my room. I looked up from my book and saw that it had almost been a half hour. I put the book away and made my way down the hall. Charlie came out of her room as I approached.

'Ready on time?' She just shrugged. We made our way to Matt's room. We walked inside and saw that Matt was upset.

How do you guys feel about Ty and Charlie? Why do you think Matt is upset?
