Darlie - Charlie + Dorothy // College au

Chp. 3 - A Date?

A few weeks had passed since the two first met. They gradually got closer. The secrets between them began to lessen, the space between them getting smaller. 

One night, while having a Harry Potter movie marathon, Charlie decided to take a risk. Pausing the movie, she sat up, facing her gorgeous roommate.

"Dorothy could I ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it?"

"Well, it's just..." Charlie trailed off, pursing her lips together as if to stop from talking.

"Charlie, we've grown pretty close, you know. Spit it out." Dorothy raised a perfectly shaped brow at her roommate. 

"I was curious..." Charlie bit her lip and furrowed her brow, rethinking it all.

"Oh my god, Charlie! Say it." 

And in one big breath, Charlie blurted out. "Doyoupossiblymaybelikeme?"

All Dorothy could do was paint a sweet smile on her face. "Duh, hun." Is all she said. 

"Duh?" Charlie scrunched her nose in wonder. 

"Yes. You're actually kidding, right?" Dorothy joked, wetting her lips. 

"Well I dunno." Charlie looked down at her crossed feet. "I wasn't sure, I guess."

"Hun, you're awesome. So full of life and a super happy girl. Of course I like you." Bringing up Charlie's glazed eyes, Dorothy finishes her thought. "You like me, yeah?"

A smirk washed over Charlie's appearance. "Absolutely."

After the movies, they went about their separate beds, each settling down into their downy sheets. 

"Charlie?" Dorothy spoke in the silence. "You tired?"

"Not much. That Snape guy really gives me the creeps." She admitted.

In the dark Dorothy could make out Charlie's shiny, short cut hair as well as her basically bare shoulders. Dorothy whispered for Charlie to come over, lifting her covers to show a tight tee and boy shorts. Heat began to radiate off the red head as she climbed out of bed, scooting in next to her crush. Charlie was beyond glad it was dark in the room. If not, Dorothy would see Charlie's cheeks matching her hair. 

"I'm glad you told me." Dorothy breathed, speaking of their previous conversation.

"How long did you have a crush on me?" Charlie thought aloud.

"The moment I met you." She replied with a kiss on Charlie's smooth-skinned forehead. "You?"

Charlie, too, replied with a kiss on Dorothy's temple. "The moment I met you."

Engulfing Charlie in a hug, Dorothy kissed her ear. Shivers could not help but run down Charlie's spine, the thought of 'more' on her mind. 

"You're too cute, Charlie Bradbury." Dorothy smirked, pulling Charlie even closer. Now their chests were pressed against each other. Both girls held their breath, worried the other would pull away.

"You're too beautiful, Dorothy Baum." Charlie returned the compliment, along with a peck on the nose.

"My lips are a little lower." Dorothy giggled.

"Hm..." Charlie played along. "I didn't realize."

The two fell asleep quickly, their lips still pressed together.
