Intertwined

First Kiss

Author Intro:
I'm a huge fan of The Nursery Nurse. The Mialotte story line has given me hope and as I was processing big changes and discoveries in my own life I started writing little scenes and situations for Char and Mia. I've started to connect a few of them and this is the first. Mia and Char have some big adventures and challenges coming. Hope you enjoy the romantic and spicy first part of my take on the Mialotte story. Also, look out for phrases and lines from TNN episodes.
Enjoy ***

The after effects of kissing Mia had been like drinking a bit too much. Half of the time I could function like a perfectly normal person but then I thought of Mia and her lips on mine and I found it difficult to concentrate on anything. My head went fuzzy and the usual daily sounds and conversations seemed far away.
Sorscha and Carly had spent the day teasing my absent mindedness and singing  'Charli and Mia sitting in a tree' anytime they could get away with it. I had to laugh when Autumn caught them and gave them a murderous stare. That only kept them quiet for an hour or so.
Really though, they were both supportive, sweet about it and it was nice to have them by my side at work, helping me focus and keeping me laughing all day.

Seeing Mia again had been wonderful, but it had been difficult to stop kissing once we started. Once Mia knew I was ready, it was like everything she had been holding back came through her kiss. Like waves were crashing on me, caressing my body and setting off swirling currents.
Mia had one hand on my face and one low on my back. My hands were around her waist and she pushed herself into me. When we stopped to catch our breath I smiled and could have melted into her. Mia held my hand, interlocking our fingers. With her free hand Mia stroked my face and then pulled me back to her lips. I could feel everything else becoming further away. I wanted to be with her in every way right then but I heard a car start and it brought me back. I wasn't sure how many, if any, parents had gone past while we were embraced next to the entrance.
'Mia,' I breathed heavily.
'Hmmm?' She said leaning into me.
'Mia, I have to start my shift'
'Do you?' She was still holding my face and looking into my eyes. 'You're incredible sweetheart. Beautiful inside and out'.

When we left each other I'm not quite sure how I got from the front door to the staff room and then the pre-school room for my shift.
'Charli? You alright' Sorscha asked as I floated into the preschool room.
'Yeah' not even really hearing her and wondering what to do first.
'Char is too busy thinking about kissing Mia,' Carly teased with a giggle.
'Carly,' I snapped back with my best stern voice, but felt my face heat up.
At five o'clock there were four kids still in the room and while I was helping a child change out of their paint splattered clothes, I saw Sorscha and Carly smiling and talking to each other. The little boy went off to play in the home corner and the girls came up to me. I was anticipating another round of sing song teasing.
'Charli, we've decided you should go home early today' Sorscha told me, a cheeky grin on her face.
'But', I started to give reasons I could not leave early, but Carly interrupted.
'I already told Marjorie that I was going to stay at work later to make up hours for my assessments and she said you could go' Carly looked very insistent and smiled.
'But you didn't mention...'
'I didn't mention you were going to see Mia. I want to live Char,' Carly was only half joking.
'Thank you.' I took a deep breath and Mia was on my mind. I tried to remember what I was doing.
Sorscha saw my Mia brain fog and and put her hands on my shoulders to snap me back, 'Charli, go up to the staff room, grab your bag and go... and have a...' Sorscha's gentle reminder was interrupted.
'Have a fuuuun night', Carly said cheekily.
'Carly!' I pretended to be mad at her, but how could I? She really was a wonderful best friend.
'Thank you both. I best get my Mia. I mean get my bag and go see Mia' as I walked out of the room, I heard them both erupting into giggles.

An hour and a half later, after showering and taking too long to decide what to wear, I was standing outside Mia's terrace. When she opened the door my heart leapt.
