Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Three
Joey wolf whistled when she entered the bedroom and found Charlie wearing a figure hugging strapless pink dress that came down to the middle of her toned, tanned thighs. Her hair was piled on top of her head. She turned and smiled. Joey felt a little breathless.
"You look amazing," she said honestly.
"So do you," Charlie smirked.
Joey snorted. She had just got out of the shower and was only in a towel.
"Seriously," Charlie said. "I mean it. You look hot!"
Kicking the door shut, she attempted to help Joey out of the garment covering her modesty.
"Charlie, you're going to get all wet!" Joey protested, landing helplessly on the bed.
Charlie hitched her dress up to her hips and straddled her.
"I hope so," she said, burying her lips against her girlfriend's neck.
Joey giggled and closed her eyes, enjoying Charlie's touch as she fingers travelled gently down her body. She gasped as Charlie began to tease her breasts, shifting to kiss them, taking the peaks into her mouth.
"Charlie, we're never going to get to the restaurant at this rate," Joey pointed out without much conviction.
Charlie just moaned as she kissed her way down Joey's body, taking in her taste and scent. Settling between her legs, she trailed kisses along her thighs, smiling when she noticed the excitement building up inside both of them. She kissed her centre, flicking her tongue out and succeeding in making Joey moan loudly. Wasting no time, Charlie put all her efforts into pleasuring her, kissing, licking and teasing. Forgetting all about their dinner reservations, Joey lay back on the bed, giving herself over to Charlie's every whim. She came quickly and loudly, enjoying every single second. Satisfied, Charlie crept back up onto the bed, resting her body against Joey's and continuing to toy with her. Joey struggled to regain her composure and regulate her breathing. Charlie stroked her face and kissed her lips.
"Now that was a celebration," Joey managed.
Charlie grinned and kissed her again.
"Now, we really are going to be late for dinner," she commented, moving to get up.
Joey shook her head and quickly flipped her onto her back.
"I thought you were worried about spoiling my dress!" Charlie giggled.
"I am," Joey told her.
She pushed the dress up and over her hips, revealing Charlie's thong and part of her tummy. She kissed from her belly button to the top of her underwear. Grinning wickedly, she ran her fingertips over the thin material covering Charlie's modesty. Charlie squirmed a little under her touch, more than willing to give herself over to Joey completely. Continuing to tease with her fingers, Joey kissed her over the material before gently slipping it off completely. Charlie cried out as Joey set to work. She closed her eyes, allowing herself to fully indulge in the sensations coursing through her body. She too reached orgasm loudly. Little spots of colour danced under her eyelids as she felt her body go to heaven and back. She smiled in satisfaction when Joey moved to cuddle back up to her.
"Definitely a celebration," she said.
The girls did indeed arrive late to the restaurant and were most certainly frowned at for it, although fortunately not sent away. Seating themselves in a corner, candlelit table, Charlie and Joey smiled happily at each other.
"Can I get you something to drink?" the waiter asked politely.
"A bottle of your finest champagne, please," Charlie requested without hesitation.
He nodded and hurried away. Joey looked a little alarmed.
"Sweetie, I got a job in a bait shop," she worried. "We're not exactly disposing of hundred dollar bills as loose change."
Charlie just smiled and held her hand across the table.
"Tonight is a celebration," she said serenely. "I think we should enjoy every minute of it."
Joey held her hands up and shook her head in submission.
"Whatever you say," she said.
"I really am proud of you, Joey," Charlie said sincerely.
She found her girlfriend's blush adorable.
"When did you say you start?"
"Monday," Joey said.
Charlie looked concerned.
"But I've told Alf that I can't come in until ten thirty because I have a prior engagement," Joey added.
Charlie grew more concerned.
"And I didn't tell him what it was," Joey assured her.
Her partner smiled a little self consciously and thanked her.
"I promised I was going to be there for you," Joey said. "And I don't break my promises."
Charlie smiled and took the moment to steal a quick kiss.
"And while we're celebrating," Joey added when Charlie had settled herself back down. "Do you have any preferences as to what we do on your birthday?"
Charlie shook her head and fiddled with her butter knife.
"As long as I get to spend it with you, I'm happy," she said. "I don't care what we do. Although, some of what were did before we went out tonight wouldn't go amiss..."
Both women smirked at each other. It had definitely been an entertaining beginning to the night.
"Well, speaking of," Joey ventured. "I thought I would let you know early about a particular gift I've been thinking about."
The waiter returned to the table and poured out their champagne. He took their starter orders and went on his way.
"So, my sneak gift preview?" Charlie nudged.
"You get the same naughty token that you gave me," Joey told her. "So get your thinking cap on."
She grinned. Charlie grinned back.
"Oh, I will," she assured her.
Having had a wonderful evening out, complete with a romantic walk along the beach, having asked the taxi to drop them off on the seafront, Charlie and Joey arrived home. Without even bothering to flip the bedroom light on, the giggling and slightly merry couple tumbled back onto the bed, eagerly ripping each other's off, ready for a joyful night of passion.
Next time... Charlie returns to counselling, Joey starts college and Nicole gets her exam results...
