Between two fires

Sophie Fisher

Charles got me out of trouble again and his mere presence drove me crazy. When we entered the elevator together and he came with me, my breathing started to speed up. I felt it was unfair at the time that I was doing this to Arthur. Charles leaned against the wall and looked at me. And I him. My wet clothes were see-through, so I quickly realized what Charles was looking at. I pulled my mouth away angrily and turned to avoid facing the boy.
Let's just get out of here, I said to myself, or rather I chanted...
Charles breathed slowly while I breathed very quickly. I felt that the boy's presence was driving me crazy. Then the elevator stopped and I got out of it. I started walking down the hall in the direction of the room...Charles was walking closely behind me. My wet shoes made strange noises... Then I opened the door of the room and entered through it. Charles quickly closed it and pinned me against the wall..

- Charles, leave me alone - I told him quietly as I looked into his eyes.

- I can not do. You are the desire of all my dreams...I want you - the boy began to list

- I don't want to make a mistake again and I don't want to commit the act that I did on the ship that night again

- Sophie... - Charles said and kissed me. I gasped for air, but the boy kissed me sensually. My tongue danced in his mouth...

- Charles, Charles - I gasped for air...
- I have to take a shower - I said suddenly. Charles stood in front of me and let go. I knew what he was going to do

- Arthur won't be back for at least another hour - I told him and looked at him with a sheepish smile. Truth be told, I wanted him too. Every time Arthur kissed me, I thought of the boy. I stepped next to him and took off his shirt.

So I took off his shirt and caressed his muscular chest. Then I took off my t-shirt and the rest of my clothes. I could see the fire in Charles's turquoise eyes and how desirable he found me.

- You get 15 minutes to sign me off. Then you can make me yours...

- How about we do it while bathing? - he asked and took my chin with his right hand. He started caressing my breasts with his left hand.
- You are so perfect Sophie!

- I'm not! - I said firmly and walked away from the boy. Charles ran after me and closed the bathroom door. I let the warm water run and stood under it. Charles joined. First he pushed me against the wall, then he carefully lifted my legs and we did it...

I could barely breathe, but Charles's every sigh made me burn more and more. I burned and burned because of Charles...
...when I finally lay in bed next to Charles, everything seemed so perfect. As Charles caressed my face, I trusted that everything would be fine. After all, I really loved the boy, the only question was, does Charles only see a woman's body in me or something else?

- Charles...How do I tell Arthur this? - I asked uncertainly after a while

- You are his best friend, you should know - he said, adding another weight to my soul.

- But I can't destroy everything I've built between the two of us. Arthur really is my best friend

- Then don't tell him yet - Charles said, then pressed a kiss on my cheek.

...

Charles left and I packed everything in the room with lightning speed. I also quickly removed Charles' scent and tried to be ready for Arthur to enter the room at any moment.
After an hour the door opened and Arthur entered. I was just reading in a chair. I looked up at the boy who had a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

- Arthur - I whispered softly

- Sophie, I...I'm really sorry...I should have paid more attention to you - Arthur said and hugged me.

- Arthur...thank you - I said and my eyes got a little teary
- You know, no one has ever given me flowers before - I said sensitively

- What? If I had known that, I would have bought you a whole flower shop - said Arthur and I kissed him.

It started raining again in the evening. Arthur was already sleeping the sleep of the righteous, but I was unable to fall asleep. I put on my robe and went to another room. Charles' room was one floor above us. I slowly and silently walked out the door and went straight to the boy's room..I knocked. I found myself facing Charles' sleepy look. The boy was wearing a white T-shirt with plaid pajama pants.

- Sophie, what are you doing here at 11pm? - asked

- can i come in?

- Of course

- But now I just want to talk - I said and sat down in the chair opposite the bed while Charles sat back on the bed

- So, what's the big deal?

- He bought me a flowers....Arthur bought me a flowers . - I looked straight ahead. I repeated the words softly and did not look at the boy. But Charles looked at me confused

- And? What's so impressive about that? - said the boy in a condescending tone

- Charles Leclerc! No one has ever bought me flowers. You know, I feel that Arthur loves me. Indeed. He doesn't need my body - I said in a slightly higher voice
- How do I know you don't just want my body?

- Sophie... - began the boy Leclerc

- I knew it...I made a mistake again. It was also a mistake that I came here, it was also a mistake that I let you in the afternoon. Charles, tell me honestly why are you doing this to me?

- You know it's because I don't want you to be Arthur's. I want you to be mine. Dance for me while you bathe. I want you to be by my side always. I want to be a part of your life, Sophie...You have to let me

- No, I don't have to...
