Chapter 25
When does it end?
Charlie's POV
Pulling up to James' house is a lot harder than I thought. It only reminds me of that kiss. That slow sensual kiss that got my skin burning with just the thought of it. The tight four corners that we were confined in, the way his large hands grabbed my hips leaving his fingerprints that stayed on me for days, reminding me of what happened that day. That kiss that changed my life, and got me wanting more and more.
What should I say to him besides sorry? What if he doesn't forgive me? I can't even say his name; Damien.
OK Charlie you can do this. you've done worse. Okay not really but you thought about it. he's just a guy; just a guy say sorry. its easy S-o-r-r-y.
Reaching for my phone I shot Damien a text. " I am outside" .
Shortly after, I received his reply. " Come in, the door is open. I'm in the basement."
Why is he in the basement? basements are so creepy.
Deciding to go inside before my resolve completely vanished I approached the front door and twisted the doorknob.
Ok that wasn't so bad now to the basement.
After just standing there looking around I felt like an idiot.
How am I suppose to find the basement? Looking around well wandering around I noticed several pictures of Damien and James.
I didn't know he James and Damien fished... Well then again what did I expect? They definitly seem like the outdoorsy type.
Hearing chiming brought me back from my distraction.
The text message was from Damien telling me that the basement door is open and that It shouldn't be too hard to find.
Looking around I noticed a wide open door just before the kitchen. Fighting my fear of seeing him again I slowly made my way down.
Surprisingly the stairs didn't creak like I expected it to. Once I got down the last step I was immediately confronted with Damien playing pool.
Why does he have to be so hot? To me it seemed like the most important thing in the world right now was for Damien to get the ball into the pocket.
"Did you get lost?" Damien asked while chuckling.
I didn't know if I should answer the question.
Instead nervous laughter came from me instead of a answer. Smooth Charlie real smooth.
I almost forgot how well Damien looks, even with his casual clothing on. He looks so relaxed, so poised... why couldn't I be like that? I am just a big ball of nerves.
"Are you o-"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was acting so immature. I had no right to be angry with you and ignore you like that. It's not like we are together." I said cutting Damien off.
"Just because we kissed doesn't mean anything. Right? I should have figured you would have sex; your a guy; a man. I am a virgin I can't offer you the same things a women does." Almost defeated I added "I'm just a girl."
Looking up from the floor after my rant. I didn't expect to see his shocked and hurt expression. He was being let off the hook. He should be happy... I don't understand.
"I should go Damien. We can be friends. I can see you around whenever I visit Andy or Tristen." I said while turning my back to him, I stopped dead in my tracks when I was stopped by his deep voice.
"Charlotte stop...look at me. Now"
Feeling compelled I looked in his eyes. He was so angry.
"Damien I-"
"Shut up Charlie I let you speak now its my turn. "
"Damien- "
I won't say again Charlotte Stop talking.
This was a different side to him that I rarely got to see, and is it weird that I find it oddly attractive?
Damien's POV
Is this really the kind of guy she thinks I am. That all I do is have sex.
How can she just say things like that and think I would Just let her walk away.
"Charlotte you aren't like anyone else. I like that innocence about you. You know what you want, you know what you want to be, Charlie there is no one else I want to be with. I care about you a lot. You are worth the effort and the headaches, your worth chasing. I don't know how else to tell you I want you.But don't ever tell me what I want for you. All I want is for you to be happy and I am apart of the reason your smiling, Charlie I truly hope this is the last time I make you cry. I kissed you, I held you when you cried. You saw me shirtless. We have been doing this little dance longer than any of my previous relationships. I wont beg you to trust me I'm asking for you to give me a chance, us a chance. No more games Charlie You want to be an adult then act like one. I will give you time to figure out what you want. Once or if were together I wont let you go."
Looking into her eyes I was so tempted to kiss her. To taste her again, remind my self what it felt like. But I can't I don't want to confuse her anymore than she already is.
Charlie's POV
I never had anyone want me before.
in order to keep me from throwing myself at him I decided to change the subject.
" So I should give Becca her clothes."
"Where are they? You didn't come down here with anything." Damien asked.
" No I didn't they are right....[looking around]
"not here."
I must have left them in the car. Well I am just going to go thanks Damien."
"For what?"
"For being a better person than I gave you credit for." I said.
"Do you need help finding your way back." He asked.
"HAHA very funny. No I don't. But don't you want to finish your game? Your two shots away from finishing.
"Oh no, I was practicing I have a bet to win later." Damien stated.
Heading up the stairs with him behind me I was tempted to stop short or fall back just to feel myself in his arms again even for a little while. I know i'm crazy.
Once I left the front door my phone rang.
"Hello"
"Charlotte"
"Dad you never call is something wrong?" I asked.
"No I just wanted to confirm that you will be attending the hospital's annual charity gala on Friday?"
"uh I didn't pl-"
"Great I expect you to buy your dress no later than tomorrow" My father said while cutting me off.
"I don't want-"
"You haven't been to the past galas Charlotte, your going. Now you can like it and pick out your dress yourself or I can have my assistant do it, but you will be there. There are people who are interested in meeting you.
"I'm surprised they don't think I'm dead.' I muttered under my breath.
"I didn't hear you Charlotte Rose, I don't have time for this. Today no later then tomorrow buy the dress."
And with that the phone call ended.
Love you too dad.
