Giving a Second Chance (Reader/Ghost X Adult Female Chara)

Chapter 6: A Tricky Morning

Chara's POV:

I was all sorts of freaking out when I found out we made out like that last night. I thought I had done something wrong, getting so drunk like that. But apparently I hadn't. That thought alone scared me. I wanted to run, or at least hide under my bed sheets, but I knew that would make me look like a coward, which I wasn't. I was so worried about what I had done that I was trembling.

"Chara, are you alright?"

"Hmm... what? Oh yes! I-I'm fine!"

"Are you sure? You're clearly upset about something."

"No I'm fine! Why would you ask such a stupid thing?"

Ghost Just looked at me with a smile, "You still worried about last night?"

"Yeah..."

"Hey, look, there's nothing to worry about! I had fun, and you had fun, ok? There's nothing to worry about."

"Hahaha... yeah, you're right. I guess we should just forget it ever happened."

"Sure, we'll just forget all about it! Let's eat breakfast. I'm hungry!"

I started eating my eggs and bacon, and soon, the awkwardness returned again.

As we sat across each other, I noticed he was staring at me intently, and I just couldn't shake the feeling that he was looking straight into my soul. When I saw him staring, I felt uncomfortable, I wanted to turn around and avoid his gaze, but I also felt an urge to face him and continue our conversation.

We talked about the monsters and Asriel, and about my life in Snowdin, and everything else that came up. Eventually, our plates were empty, and we decided to leave the kitchen and go into the living room.

"So, you going to tell me what's bothering you now?" he asked.

"Well... maybe I will, but not this instant. Right now, I'd prefer if we just stay here a little longer, I'll tell you everything later."

Ghost gave a knowing smile.

"Alright then. If you change your mind, I'll be happy to listen."

"Thanks..."

I smiled at him warmly. I loved that he was so nice, so patient, and always listened to me. I knew he was keeping his eye out for me, but I felt conflicted after getting so sexual with him last night. I looked over to my right, and he was just picking up all the stuff in the living room. So, while he did that, I went into the guest bedroom, mostly to gather all of my thoughts.

What was I thinking, sleeping with Ghost so recklessly like that? I'd only known him for several weeks, yet he seemed to know me so well. He had a calming aura around him, and the sight of his face made me feel safe and cared for. He didn't seem like the type of guy who would hurt me.

It was hard for me to accept that, because I hated myself for thinking those words about him. He was kind, smart, cute, and beautiful, and I couldn't deny anything to myself. I felt something growing inside of me, a deep sense of desire, a need to touch him, and be touched by him. It was almost like a chemical reaction, and I knew I needed to stop letting those feelings consume me and keep my distance. I was afraid, but I had to fight through it.

The truth was that I wasn't really ready for this relationship, yet it was too late to back out.

So, I felt confident enough to go out and maybe even confess to Ghost. Maybe this was my shot. I left the guest room, and saw Ghost just calmly reading his phone. He looked up, and smiled at me.

"Ready to talk about it?" he asked gently.

"Well... yeah... I think I might have to start talking sometime, or I'll explode."

"Okay... how about we sit down, and you tell me about it? I promise I won't judge you or anything, and I'll listen."

I sighed softly. How could I say no to someone that genuinely cares about me like he does?

"Okay."

I took a seat next to Ghost, and looked down.

"I... I really enjoyed last night. I just... I don't know, I got lost in the moment. I feel like I was in a trance... It feels really good, Ghost."

Ghost looked at me with a smile, and nodded.

"Me too. I was really enjoying myself too. You're very attractive, and you smell great. I couldn't help myself... I don't want you to ever stop being beautiful."

I blushed, and looked away shyly.

"Waaaah, stop it!"

Ghost laughed softly,

"I'm sorry. I just... I think you're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen."

My blush deepened, I didn't expect him to say that. He giggled a little, and looked at me seriously. I turned to face him more.

"Chara, you're gorgeous. And you've got a wonderful personality, as well. You're a really caring person, and you have a heart of gold. You're amazing. I mean it."

"Thank you. I-I didn't know you seriously felt that way towards me..."

"Of course I do! You're an incredible girl!"

I smiled, and looked down again. My cheeks were heating up, and I wasn't able to control my body, I was blushing a lot.

"Do you really mean that?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then... thank you."

I leaned forward and hugged him tightly. I missed hugs; I didn't get many anymore, and I felt so grateful to have someone I trusted to hug me and tell me they loved me. He wrapped his arms around me, and caressed my hair gently, holding me close. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, and then eventually he let me go, and we both smiled.

After breakfast, we cleaned up, and spent some time watching TV together. I liked watching movies with him, especially ones that I liked. After some time, he decided to take a shower, and then join me for a while. He put on some music, and we snuggled on the couch. He laid down behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist while he kissed my neck. I turned around to look at him, and we kissed.

"Can I stay with you tonight?"

"Yeah, of course. I'm guessing your heading back tomorrow?"

"Yeah. But, I'll always be in contact, okay?"

Ghost nodded, and we continued to snuggled for a while.
