She's the one

FaceTime Call

The weeks had gone past and Mia and Charlotte were messaging each other non stop.

Charlotte had her girls this week and Mia also hadn't been at the nursery. Roger had Mia going to meetings and doing some admin work. As he couldn't get rid of her, he made her do the tasks he hated. Mia didn't mind this because she knew it was getting under Roger's skin that she was still there. Some of the meetings meant Mia left the country and went to some exotic places which she loved. She would get all the work done within the first few days, then spend the rest of the week relaxing or exploring.

Although they were far apart, it didn't stop Charlotte and Mia getting to know one another more and enjoy each other's company even if it was through FaceTime. They made sure that once Charlotte had got the girls to bed. They would have their FaceTime call.

It was getting to the time for their call. It was 10pm for Charlotte, while for Mia, it was 2am in Dubai. Mia had already fallen asleep. It had been a long day for her. The meetings had been very long, and the heat was getting a bit unbearable. She didn't notice her phone ring the first time but woke up to the ringing. Mia yawned and answered the phone.

"Hi Sweetheart, you alright?". "I'm so sorry love. Did I wake you up?" Charlotte said looking at a sleepy Mia. "No sweetheart. I may have just dozed off just for a few mins". Mia didn't want Charlotte to feel bad. "How's your day been sweetheart". "Ugh, it's been alright" Charlotte replied, looking like she's holding something in. Mia could see this "Darling. What's wrong". Charlottes eyes widened as she didn't think her face gave anything away. She adored that Mia could tell something was bothering her without even having to say it.

"Dylan's dad came to the nursery today". Mia's face went sour, and her eyes turned to anger. "Dylan's dad? He didn't do anything to you did he? I swear if he's upset you. I'll be getting the next flight back and tear him a new one" "No Amelia, he didn't do anything to me" Charlotte replied. Mia's anger calmed down slightly "What happened then?"

Charlotte's eyes filled with guilt "He came in drunk, and Dylan didn't want to go with him, but he grabbed him and dragged him out. Fortunately, Autumn saw and is dealing with it, but I just feel so bad. Something should have been done when he hurt you. I feel bad it got to this point... I'm sorry. I'm rambling. I just feel really bad for Dylan and you.".

"Sweetheart. You weren't to know what he was like and what was happening. At least Autumn saw and is dealing with it. I'd love to see what Autumn did to him when she saw him" Mia smiled, imagining Autumn going blitz on Dylan's dad. "Dylan will be safe now. It's best it was caught now and not any later" Mia gave Char a reassuring smile.

Charlotte gave a small smile back "Thank you Mia". They stared into each other's eyes. "I did hear a black eye was involved when Autumn saw him".

Mia giggled "Classic Autumn. She hasn't changed and I love her for that".

"I don't want to imagine the three of you got up to when you were teenagers" Charlotte laughed. "How was your day?".

"It's been alright. Board money's great, but I don't like these boring meetings". Mia responded.

Charlotte looked at Mia "Mia, you are literally in Dubai. How can you hate that?"

Mis gave a cheeky grin "I hate that you're not here sweetheart". Charlotte's cheeks went pink, and Mia could tell. "I'm back in England on Friday... Fancy coming over"

"That'd be nice" Charlotte gave Mia a loving smile. "We can sit all night a talk if you like" Mia said. It was silent for a few seconds before Charlotte responded "I think we've done enough talking recently". Mia raised her eyebrows "Okay. Just a couple more days sweetheart". "Can't wait" Charlotte responded.

"Well, I'll let you get to sleep now sweetheart" Mia said to Charlotte. "Alright, my lovely. You sleep well and enjoy you last couple days" Charlotte said. They smiled at each other and hung up the phone.

Charlotte was trying to keep her excitement in that she was going to see Mia in a few days. I had been weeks, and she just wanted to hold Mia. Feel her hair, her soft skin, smell her perfume. To be held by Mia was something she couldn't wait for. She was picturing her and Mia lying in bed cuddling, cherishing one another. Charlotte was starting to feel she was ready to take the next step with Mia. She knew that Mia wasn't impatient at all and was willing to wait until Char was ready. She was wondering what the moment could be like. In Charlottes head, she wasn't sure if she was ready. She had never had a romantic connection with a woman before. This was a new world and territory to her. But in her heart, she wanted to give everything to Mia. Charlotte had these thoughts then drifted off to sleep.

Mia on the other hand was stressing at what she should do for Charlotte when she came to hers. She wanted to make sure it was perfect. She was googling cleaners to make sure her house was spotless as she wouldn't have much time once she got back home. She needed that time to make the perfect set up. Does she make a candle lit dinner. Does she do a cosy movie night. The options were endless, and she wanted everything to be smooth. Mia would go to sleep and when she wakes up, begin to plan the most special time with Charlotte.
