#46 Charles - "I'd treat you like a princess..."

BRYNN POV.: Over the past few weeks, since I had broken up with my boyfriend, the guy who I used to think was the love of my life, I had spent huge amout of time with my best friend from childhood, Charles Leclerc. During that time, we're together constantly, Charles not being able to go anywhere and be away from me for more than an hour without texting me, to check if I'm ok. I thought that it's really sweet and loving of him, and I of course assured him that I'm fine and he don't need to constantly worry about me.
However, yesterday evening, I lost it, and called him, crying heavyly over the phone, as I couldn't keep it together any longer. I really loved David and that love was eating me out...
As Charles was in Monaco too, he rushed to my house immidately, because he wanted to cheer me up, as he always does.

We barerly slept last night, because we talked for long hours. I explained to him whole sittuation, that David cheated on me and all that crap, and how heartbroken I felt, even tough I knew deep down in my heart very well that this relationship won't last...
But only the next morning I realised that Charles was indeed sleeping beside me, as he refused to get back to his place, after I cried on his shoulder for most of the night.
I woke up slowly, feeling warmth not only from the blanket, which was drapped over my body, but also from Charles's body, as we slept tightly embraced togehter.
-How are you so beautiful first thing in the morning?- he asked me sweetly, his voice still horse and low from deep slumber. Little did I know, that he wasn't long awake himself, and he was looking down at me with warm smile on his lips, as he held me close to himself. His words awoken me up perfectly, and made me shot blot upright, from being snuggled warmly to his chest, and rub my still a little tired and reddish eyes.
-You're always so sweet, but we know each other long enough for you to stop lying to make me feel better- I replied softly, as I looked at him. But before Charles replied, he sat up himself, and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, to pull me in side-hug.
-Why do you think I'm lying?- he disagreed with me, as his features harden a little, making stern expresion on his handsome face -For me, you're always stunning and the most beautifull woman on earth, and I really don't have a single clue how anyone could ever cheat on you! To say more, if we were together, I'd treat you like a princess, because you and your happines would be my top priority!
His words made my heart melt in place, but mind knew better... 'What he wanted to say by that?! Is he confesing his feelings to me that way, or just using this as an example how he would treat any woman..?!' I couldn't figure out which option was true, and it made my stomach knot. Especially because I have feelings for him since junior high school, but I never hoped that this feelings would be returned, mostly after he started to be away most of the year, because of his racing career.
-What you want to say by that...?- I asked him slowly, as my head started to spin and my pulse quickened.
-For a very long time now, I love you B, and hate to see you unhappy like that with other man, while I can only wish to be able to make you happy again.. With me...- he said with deep sigh, and turned his head in other direction, not to look at me, probably afraid that I'll hate him right now, and refuse to talk to him ever again.
-Charles...- I sighed and moved my position, so I was sitting in front of him -Look at me Charlie...- I pleaded him, taking his hands in mine. Something in my voice made him do just that, and when it happened, I leaned closer, and slowly kissed him, as I whispered -Je t'aime auss...
Charles was suprised at first, but then kissed me back, as he pulled me onto his lap, to have me closer. His actions made me smile, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. We kissed for some long minutes, and then pulled away, as we needed to breath. Then, Charlie pressed his forehead to mine with gentle smile, as he craddled my face in his hands and swiped his thumbs over my cheeks.
-You sure it isn't too soon? I don't want to take advantage of you when...
-No Charlie, it's not!- I interupted him, again using his nickname I always call him in private -It's not too soon, because I'm hella sure about my feelings for you, and that with you I'll be the happiest I've ever been!- I told him affectionately, and Charles instead of replying, pulled me in, for another, way more intimate and passionate kiss.
-Be mine?
-I already am- my reply made us both giggle like teenagers, as we flunged our arms around one another, which resulted in us falling down onto the mattres.
-My Brynn...- Charles whispered lovingly when we composed ourselves finaly, looking deeply into my eyes -Je t'aime tellement Cherie...- his loving words made my heart melt, as I snuggled closer to him and kissed his cheek -You have no idea how long I waited to call you that...
-I'm happy you finally did...- I remarked and kissed him softly, but lovingly.
After that we spent really long morning in bed, just lying in, tangled in each other's warm embrace and talking about regular things. The way it felt so normal with him made me realise that Charles is indeed the only important one for me. And I knew that we'll be only happy from now on. Because we have each other...
