Arrange Marriage

Part 3

(Charlie's POV)

What the fuck? Is Lauren Cimorelli really kissing me right now? Why aren't I kissing back? I think I am now. Charlie shut up just kiss her. I listen to my head and kiss her back. Someone knocks on the door. I pull away even though I really don't want to. "Laur.......I......think........someone's.......at........the.......door" I say breathless. 

(Lauren's POV)

OMG I'm kissing Charlie. God her lips feel so soft. I could kiss them anytime. She pulls away after there was a knock on the door. "Laur.......I.......think...........someone's........at........the..........door" She said breathless. Oh god I think that just made me wet. Lauren knock it off. Get it out of your head. She's just a girl. And very hot girl. Uh oh she's looking at me. I go and open the door. I see Dani. "Yes Dani?" I said annoyed. I really wish that I was still kissing Charlie. I want her lips on mine again. Is that so wrong? "Yes dinner is ready" Dani said. "Alright we will be right down" I said. I closed the door again and just sit next to Charlie. I grab her hand. She smiles. I go for a kiss again but this time I get her hand. "We just had a kiss don't you think we need a little break?" Charlie said while smiling. "Honestly? I think we should make out" I said while smiling. "Maybe later" She gets up and goes to door. "Where are you going?" I asked. "Your sister said dinner is ready. So I'm going down. Are you coming?" She asked me. I get up and we go downstairs. When we go down John is looking at us weirdly. "Hey Char? When did you start wearing lip gloss?" He said while laughing.  

(Charlie's POV)

Lauren and I go downstairs and I see my dad looking at me weirdly. "Hey Char when did you start wearing lip gloss?" He said while laughing. I run to a mirror and see I do have lip gloss on my lips. Damnit Lauren. She comes over to me. "Are you ok?" She asked me. "Yeah why?" I asked. "While you ran out so...." She said. "I'm fine. This isn't the first time my dad embarrass me. I remember the first time I ever had a girlfriend. He was so awkward. Probably because it was my first girlfriend" I see Lauren fidgeting with her fingers, so I shut up. "Always have you ever had a girlfriend?" I asked. "No. Literally told my parents that I was not into guys like last year. I haven't found the one yet" She said while looking at me. "Well you will find her or him" I said while smiling. "What if I found her already" She whispers but I hear her. "Who is it?" I asked. "You heard me?" She asked. "Yes I did. Now who is it?" I asked. "Well she's really hot. We just had our first kiss in my bedroom. Her dad embarrassed her by saying she has lip gloss on her lips. Need I say more?" She asked. I go over to her and kiss her. "No you don't. I think I got it" I said. She kisses me again. We get really into it. 

(Lauren's POV)

I kiss Charlie again and this time we make out hardcore. God I love her so much. Love? Love? I don't love anyone but my family. This girl is driving me insane. Someone coughs and we break apart. We see John and my dad smiling? Why are they smiling? "Hi dad" Charlie said to John. "Hello girls" My dad said. "Charlie what did we say about kissing people" John said. I got intrigued so I listen to what she has to say. "Hey in my defense, she kissed me first" Charlie puts her hands up. God, why is she so perfect? I love her. Why do I keep saying love? God Lauren get in the game. 

(John's POV)

"So girls we have something we need to tell you" I said nervously. Mike looks at me. "What's up dad?" Charlie said. "You girls might want to sit down" Mike said. "Why?" Lauren asked. "Just take a seat" I said. They both sit down. "Ok.........so Mike and I have decided that both of you are too invested into your work. So we have agreed to have you guys get married" I said. 

(Charlie's POV)

My dad just dropped a bomb on me. I am suppose to marry Lauren?! I mean she's smoking hot but I don't know about being married. I thought it was just going to be fun. I mean maybe we are going to be a cute couple but....."Charlie" My dad said. I snap out of my thoughts. "Yeah?" I asked. "What do you think?" My dad said. "Um......." I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to hurt Lauren's feelings but I also didn't want to get married right away. "If I say yes when will be getting married?" I asked. "What do you mean if you say yes? You don't want to marry me?" Lauren asked. Shit I'm screwed. "You know what, whatever. Don't say yes" Lauren said angry and goes up to her room. I follow her. I knocked on her door. "Laur...." I say softly. "Go away Charlie" She said in her room. "Can we just talk?" I asked. "Go talk to someone else" She said. "There isn't anyone else I want to talk to. Just you" Lauren comes and opens the door. "What do you want Charlotte?" Lauren asked kind of demand. Got to say that was hot. Ok Charlie not the time. "Look Lauren, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It's just every time I get close to a girl they break my heart. I don't have good relationships. I don't want to hurt you" I said to Lauren. I hold her by the cheeks. "I totally love you and I know it's really early and we aren't dating. I have never had this feeling with any girl before. So Lauren would you go on a date with me?" I asked. 

(Lauren's POV) 

Ahhhh Charlie just asked me out on a date! And I'm not saying anything. "Yes" I said and smile at her. "Yes what?" she said smiling. "Yes I will go on a date with you" I said. "Great. Tomorrow. At 12:00 p.m. I will pick you up" Charlie said. I really just want to kiss her again. I lean up to reach for her lips. "No.....no. No kisses until after the date. That's if it goes well" Charlie said. "You don't think it will go well?" I asked. "No.....I'm hoping it goes great" Charlie said. I really want her kisses. How do I get her to kiss me? "Ow" I said while holding my lips. "What's wrong?" She asked me. "I think I hurt my lip. Can you check?" I ask her. "Sure" She leans closer trying to look but I take her by surprise and kiss her. We kiss for awhile. Then another knock on the door. Omg again? This better not be Dani. If it is I'm going to hit her. I go and open the door and guess who I saw. If you guess Dani you are right again. God I hate her at times. "What Danielle?" I asked. "You're hogging Charlie. I want to talk to her" Dani said. "Ugh fine, come on Charlie" I bring her downstairs. "Why are you guys so close?" Dani asked. What do I say to my 19 year old sister? I mean I know everyone accepts me but it's still hard to say that I love a girl. I mean I know I only meet her last night but I can't get her out of my head. I love Charlotte Green. I really want this date to go well. Then maybe we might end up dating. And I wouldn't mind dating her. I wouldn't mind marrying her. I just don't know why Charlie doesn't. I mean I know she told me but I don't think it's the whole truth. 

"So Charlie how old are you?" Christina asked. I was like how do I not know her age? Ok I'm going to listen to this. "I am 21. I just turned it this past March. How about you guys?" Then we all say our ages when it comes to me. She looks at me with love? If she is feeling the same way about me that I am her then why did she reject the marrying? "I'm 20 almost 21 years old" I said. Then I think back to other things not listen to the conversations that is happening. "Lauren!" Dani said. "What?" I asked. "Pay attention" Dani said. The rest of the time we just talked and stuff. 

(At 9:30 p.m.)

(Charlie's POV) 

Ok so I am back at my apartment with my dad. We talked about the arranged marriage and all I could do was think about Lauren. I mean why was she so cool with this and I was having trouble? I mean I really.......really like her. Maybe even love if you want to get that deep. I don't know why I can't just say I love you to her. I mean we aren't dating but I can't help the feeling. I love Lauren Cimorelli. I lay in bed and just think to myself and fall asleep dreaming about Lauren.
