One Last Chance

Nights Of Fright

Charlotte softly opened the door with tired feet. Today she worked overtime again so she could take a leave the next day. Engfa has the day off tomorrow and Char had long wanted to spend a day together.

She had a terrible day at work today. One she didn't want to deal with at the moment, nor does she want to think about it tomorrow. She passed the job to her assistant manager and told her not to call her unless it was an absolute emergency.

It was already midnight when she came home, the entire house was dark and asleep. Locking the door, she headed to shower before entering the bed where her girlfriend was already sleeping.

Lifting the blanket, she smiled when she saw Engfa hugging her rabbits again. Her beautiful, pouty lips were slightly parted as she slept peacefully.

She caressed Engfa's face tenderly, trailing her finger from her cheeks to her nose, then down to those pouty lips. Her heart thumped steadily as it felt the love surrounding their bubble.

Gently, she took the plushies from Engfa's arms resulting in a slight frown on the older woman's face. She placed the plushies on the nightstand before replacing them with herself in Engfa's arms.

In her sleep, Engfa instinctively hugged her close and pressed her head on the top of Charlotte's head. Finally at peace, Charlotte fell asleep while listening to the steady heartbeat from her girlfriend's chest.

When morning came, Engfa blinked her eyes open in a weird panic before she realized she had the day off. She relaxed into the warmth beneath her before she realized her girlfriend's presence.

Engfa opened her eyes in slight confusion, usually Charlotte would be at work already. Softly, she called out.

“Char, wake up teerak.”

“Nnghn…go back to sleep P’Fa…” Charlotte's sulky, sleepy voice mumbled out while her hands blindly hugged Engfa's head back to her chest.

Engfa smiled at the way Charlotte called her, she actually loved it still when her girlfriend called her P’Fa once in a while.

“Char, don't you have work?” Engfa tilted her head up again to ask in a soft voice.

Charlotte's eyes finally opened with a childish frown, her lips pouted out as she mumbled, “I took the day off too, bee. Go back to sleep.”

Engfa's eyes widened in surprise and happiness, “Jin lor?”

A smile finally appeared on Charlotte's face upon seeing her girlfriend's happiness. “Have I lied to you?”

“Why didn't you tell me yesterday?” Engfa laid on her side and talked to her girlfriend. Their voices were still soft, so were their eyes as they gazed at each other in the early morning.

“I wanted to surprise and wake up with you for once na.” Charlotte had a matching smile. “Do you have any plans?”

“I have lunch with Patcha and P’Daad. Please join us, baby.” Enga asked sweetly, her hand tugged some stray hair behind Charlotte's ears, then it lingered on her pale cheeks.

“Mm.” Char replied before turning her head to kiss Engfa's palm. The atmosphere was soft and slow, tender and sweet as Charlotte held her hand to her lips and kissed each of her fingers. “I have plans for us tonight. It's the month of October, I thought we could go to the night theme park?”

“Night theme park? There's one here?”

Charlotte nodded eagerly and a large, excited smile split her lips. “Yes! It's a Halloween event for the whole month. The theme park opens at night and they have a haunted house!”
