OTP: A Chenry FanFic

Chapter 8

Henry's POV

I walked back into the man cave and wondered why that guy was looking at me for so long.

Do I know him?

I took off my costume and put back on jeans and a Tee, when Charlotte came bursting through.

"The Sweeties Shoppe has been completely destroyed!" She sat down, exasperated on the couch.

"Yeah, I was on the job. I tackled that dude, you're welcome" I told her proudly.

"Tackled!" She started to crack up.

Oh come on.

"What! You don't think I could handle a big guy??"

"I just can't imagine it is all." She said still laughing.

Ray came in the room, walking slowly with Shwaz.

"Come on, come on, come on! This should work!" Ray exclaimed.

They were both walking through very slowly with Shwaz holding a laptop.

"What's going on?" I asked

"He's got the files open, we're looking at what she's recently put in the bank, and took out." Ray said.

"3...2....1!" Ray screamed.

A screen popped up with a list of withdrawals and inputs that have gone on for the last month.

"We're gonna be looking at this for awhile...Henry, Charlotte you guys can go. We'll look through and find some more info. If we need you, we'll call."

Ray looked pretty serious as Shwaz was scrolling through the list.

Charlotte and I started on our way up the tube to Junk N Stuff.

The sun was going to set for a few hours and I had some time to kill before I got home.

We walked down the sidewalk hand in hand.

"You know, I told Julie about us."

That kind of caught me off guard. I mean, I knew she was eventually going to tell her, that's her best friend. I haven't even got a chance to tell Jasper yet.

"How'd she react? She's cool with it?" I asked kind of abruptly.

"She was absolutely appalled. She just couldn't take it."  She said it dead serious and looked into my eyes.

My stomach did a hard flop. Oh no. Oh no. Oh-

Charlotte started busting out laughing.

"I was Just kidding! Just kidding!" She told me, now in front of me, laughing laying her hands on my chest.

I scratched the back of my head and rested my hand on her cheek.

Quietly, I whispered.

"Yeah, you better be."

It was quiet for sometime and my eyes locked on her lips. I quickly looked at her eyes after I realized I was staring at her lips and she kissed me right away. My eyes closed and I let her sweetness wash over me.

When we pulled apart, she played with the hem of my shirt saying,

"I think this is the first time I pursued the kiss first, and not you." She smiled.

"Well, there IS a first time for everything now isn't there."

She was back by my side holding my hand and I let out a deep breath. There was no way I was going to get used to this. I really like her.
