Finding Her Joy

See You Soon

*A/N- Char saw my insta-story, and I thought I was gonna pass out. I was noticed by her, and now my life is complete. BUT THIS STORY ISN'T SO BUCKLE UP AND HOLD ON! I've got some messed up stuff coming your way. Say please, and I'll release the chapters faster. Happy reading! Enjoy!

*TW for those of you who don't like violence. It's not too bad, but I still thought you deserved a heads up.

(MIA POV)
"Do you really have to leave? I'm not ready for you to go." Char said, pouting on the edge of the bed while watching me pack.

"Yes, I really have to. It's very important that I handed these things now." I was digging through trying to figure out a few more outfit options. As I turned around, I could see Char throw something in my bag. Raising an eyebrow, I asked, "What was that?"

She was trying to be nonchalant. "Nothing." She said quickly, getting up to go finish getting ready for work.

I went over to my bag to see what she dropped in there. I laughed when I realized what it was. "Charlotte," I called, walking into the bathroom after her, "did you drop this in my bag?" Dangling from my hand was my black bikini. I hadn't planned on packing anything like that since I figured I wouldn't have the time to do anything but stalk my father. Does that make me sound like a psychopath?

She turned around, scratched the back of her head, and said, "Whaaat? How did that get in there?"

"Swimming isn't on my agenda this time, so I know I didn't do it. Since you're the only other person here, that means..." I said, signaling to her that she must've done it.

She out her nose in the air, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm offended that you would say such a thing." I couldn't take her seriously because her face was bright red, letting me know that I was right.

"Hmm. Okay then." I said, narrowing my eyes at her. "Guess I could've left it in there from my last trip. I'll just put it away then."

"Wait!" She yelled while I was walking out of the room.

I laughed and turned back around. "Yes, Sweetheart?"

"I put it in your bag." She looked down at her feet embarrassed and started messing with her hands.

"What? It was you? I'm so shocked." I said sarcastically.

She glared at me. She shifted like I was going to be mad at her for putting it in there. "I just thought... maybe if you took it, then you would... we might..." She couldn't quite get the words out, but I knew what she was hinting at.

"Charlotte?" She looked at me with her big doe eyes. "I don't need this to be reminded to call you." I went over and placed my hands on her hips. "I'll remember even if I get busy. You're very hard to forget." She put her arms around my neck, and I kissed her forehead.

"It's upsetting that we've spent the whole weekend together because I've had all of your attention for days, and now you'll be off focused on something else." She shook her head and laughed. "I sound like a child competing for attention. I shouldn't have gotten so comfortable with having you here when I knew you were leaving."

"I never expected you to be the needy type, but I love it." She hit my arm. "If anything, everything this else is competing with you, not the other way around. You're always the first thing on my mind." I said, smiling at her.

"Am I not also the last?" She laughed and hugged me. "You better come home quick. I'm not sure I could last too long without you."

"Wow. Not even official yet, and you want me around all the time. I should fix myself quicker before you get tired of waiting and find someone new to focus your attention on." I laughed, but I was only half joking. My biggest fear when it came to Charlotte was that she would leave before I had the chance to really be with her.
