curveballs

chapter 14

Friday came like a flash between thinking about my SAT scores and Alex more than subtle advances. I could say my head was more occupied than ever. I craved the distraction Charlie gave me but I had to put a pole in-between us. I really wanted to make that pole shorter but I cant do that, I had to be loyal to the guy I picked. I can't leave a guy for a guy that's stupid. A hand touched my hand, I knew that hand, it was Charlie's, I guess I was so absorbed in my thoughts I didn't notice him walking in.

"hey" I gave a small sad smile

"you been avoiding you, "he said his tone final

"no, I haven't "I denied it

"come on, Im not stupid Elle, I know this because of Ethan. I have told I won't do anything to you without your approval. As far as that guy is in your life, I cant touch you "he said running his hand through his hair obviously in frustration.

"Im sorry, I guess I let myself get into my head too much "I said reaching out to hug him which he returned making it tighter

"its okay love, speaking of heads tell me whats going on in that pretty head "he said easing up the hug to kiss my forehead

I looked up to meet his brown eyes, they are so compelling. when did Charlie become a vampire? I couldnt even stop myself, I started talking about everything that was bothering me. I told him every detail of how it happened.

After I was done, I was surprised to see Charlie's blank face. its like he holds back all the emotions, reasons everything over before speaking. he was truly unique or maybe he was just British. who knew lord knows I havent had much contact with them except the originals and the Kingsmen.

"whatever happens Im here for you love "he said giving me a peck

The noise downstairs announced the rests arrival. I knew me and Charlie had to separate from each other. 'so I told him in the gentlest way I could think of but Charlie refused to act like "criminals". As he had air quoted saying that he wasnt kissing touching or even bloody shagging me. so, he doesnt see the need to start rearranging ourselves even if we were that door wont even be open if he can help it. which caused me to blush but I had to focus on getting him to let me go. so, after some persuasion, he agreed to let go rather to his own discomfort. I sat on the chair by my desk while he stayed on the bed glaring at me.

I couldnt even make my words out before the rest came barging in. Taylor and patty arguing on the theme of the party and Ethan saying all he wants there is a lot and lots of drinks. I couldnt help but laugh. heck I wished I was hosting it, I even wished I had the money to dress as I would have. In a sexy dress to make everyones head spin but that didnt mean I wasnt going to enjoy it. I was feeling kind of out of place and I cant lie if I didnt feel a little jealous of it all but that whats makes me human I guess.

Party planning has always been my thing. now all the things I thought were important are losing importance. With Alex and my scholarship on my mind picking what type of linen best describes the mood was on the least on my list.

"ELLE" patty screamed

"YES"I screamed back breaking my thoughts

"earth to, you havent brought up any ideas, where is your head at? "Taylor asked

"dont mind me, Im thinking of a dress term that will kill it "I said lying hoping they buy it

Damn, now I had to come up with an idea before they asked me what my big idea was. I mentally slapped myself for my lie

"why not make it something everyone relates to an early Halloween. everyone wants an excuse to dress up and become someone else "Charlie said. helping me out thankfully

"excuse me "I said,

feeling the need to leave the room so I could catch my breath and get my act up. when I got to the kitchen, I got out a mug and reached up to get the chocolate mix. I need to relax and how else to do that than a mug of hot chocolate. before I could get it, a hand stopped me. I looked around to see Charlie, he had a smile on his face. I wanted to say something when he interrupted

"sit down let me do it "he said

"no "I said with a little laugh reaching up again to get the mix

I didnt even notice when he lifted me up and set me down on the counter. after i told him repeatedly to let me down giggling with every word. He brought his face so close to mine. Which caused me to start blushing so hard. Was he going to kiss me or do something else to me?

"would you be a good girl or you want me to punish you "he said with a smirk

his breathe fanning my face. i could feel my desires about to take over. curiosity about the punish part raising so I decided to push on it

"maybe what do you mean by punish "I asked smiling

A devilish glint appeared in his eyes in a flash it was gone

"love your as innocent as a kid starting puberty "he laughed

I hanged my head low in embarrassment that I wasnt at all experienced in those ways

"hey now I never said I dont like it "he said using caressing my cheek with a smile

"ok but Im still curious though about it "I said with a pout

"baby girl I cant punish you. when youre not mine so be a good girl for me and stay, let me get us some nice hot Choco "he said pecking my check

I watched him make it after I calm down both my body and head. he did it a whole different way, its like he had some rhythm to his movement. by the time he was done the rest came down. Apparently, we took too much time down here. Charlie made everyone hot cocoa and I got to say it tasted like heaven .it was a nice release; he was a nice release.
