The Problem

CHAPTER 35

LAURA

This morning I've woken up without Charlie, I can hear her on the phone with someone. Seems like she is arguing with them about something. A head to the bathroom to take a shower after brushing my teeth and by the time I step into the warm water, Charlie joins me. I turn around and cup her cheeks, "You look stressed."

She pouts, "Yeah. I was talking to David. He has information regarding Dana. Which surprised me because I didn't think he spoke to her again after we broke up."

"Did he tell you what information he has?"

I start rubbing soap on her chest and breasts while she thinks, "Only that her husband has a massive plan to steal her company and children for ever. Apparently there is a hidden document which he signed, which says he gets to have the company if they ever separate or she passes away."

"That's not good. What have you got planned?"

She turns me around then starts to rub soap on my back, "Well all I can do is enjoy my time here then I'll figure the whole Dana stuff when we get back."

"Do you need any help? I mean my mum used me a lot when she was going to have a big trial. We would practise in the living room and go through her cases when my dad wasn't around."

"I'll let you know."

After getting scrubbed up and clean, we get changed then had breakfast. My grandparents have a pool so we decided to swim for a while then head out for dinner. My grandparents recommended a restaurant not too far from here and to take their car. 

"Charlie you're going to have to stop and fill the car up."

"Nah we have enough to take us there and back. I'll fill it up in the morning, I mean your pops said he has some tanks."

I frown, "Charlie I'm telling you that we will need to fill this up."

"Trust me Laura. I've had this car before. It will be fine."

"Okay but don't get angry when it stops."

———

"Did I not tell you?!"

"I get it! I fucked up. Just let me call for a tow truck."

She then calls up a place, speaking fluent Italian on the phone. Once she's done with the call, she looks at me with a settled smile. "He said he will be here in twenty minutes...Luckily we aren't far from the restaurant. And he knew exactly where we were, from the map co-ordinates alone."

"Oh that's good then."

"I know you want to say it. Just do it."

"I told you so," well that was refreshing.

She rolls her eyes, "Yes you did baby."

"So...what's the plan when we get back home? Like what will be our circumstances."

"How about we start off with a date...everyday that week. Whether that be at home or out. Then we establish what we want to be. Either completely together or exclusive. And we can go from there."

"Hmm, okay. But where will you be living?"

"Mainly at our place, but sometimes back at my house so we have our time alone. This allows us to refresh. I want this to go smoothly and for us to be happy." I lean in, kissing her and feeling myself grow warm around her. She places her hand on my thigh, creeping up my skirt then placing kisses down my neck.

"Charlie. Stop, he's coming soon."

"And you'll be coming even sooner. Don't worry."

"I can see headlights," I say through a muffled moan.

She looks up then groans with frustration causing me to laugh. Then she leaves the car to talk to the service man. They speak for a while then he fills the tank. She pays him once the car starts up. Luckily it didn't need to get towed because he had the right fuel on back up.

On the route back, we sit in silence while embracing the cool winds and dark night. My skin grows comfortable goosebumps as we get closer to the house. I feel a sense of need and security. As if I have to get there as soon as possible. When we walk in, the lights are off and my grandparents are not in sight indicating they have gone to their rooms. Charlie guides me back to the out house, where we get back to our room. Once we get in, Charlie starts to take off her clothes. She's only in her underwear then yawns while stretching. 

I then take my clothes off but feel eyes on me, "Shouldn't you be asleep by now? You look exhausted."

She looks me up and down, "Well after looking at you, I'm wide awake. Damn you are beautiful."

I can feel myself blushing, "Thank you." We lay in bed and cuddle but then she leans down and starts kissing me. It's slow and savouring...it's enough. I trace my hand down her chest, brushing her boxers and touching her leg. She moans as I graze her bulge, it seems to have grown or I may be imagining things. But that alone, has me growing wet. Taking her dick out of her boxers, I slowly stroke her shaft while her kisses leave my lips to my neck. Tingles run through me, feeling her soft lips glide against my skin.

Straddling Charlie, she smirks then sits up. She leans forward, unclipping my bra and sucking my nipple while pinching the other.

"Charlie. Fuck."

There's then a knock on the door, causing us to stop and separate from each other. Charlie grabs a pillow to hide her hard on while I put my bra back on, "Come in?"

Grandma walks in, smiling at us both. "Sorry for disturbing you both, I wanted to check that you guys were in. I'll let you sleep now, goodnight both!"

"Goodnight grandma."

"Goodnight Mrs Reed." She leaves us with Charlie immediately sighing with relief which makes me laugh. We both then yawn at the same time.

"I think it's time for us to sleep."

She lifts the blanket and smirks, "I'm still hard though..."

"Hmmm shame, go into the bathroom."

She frowns, "Fine."

Just as she gets up, I grab her arm and pull her back down.

"I change my mind."
