Ellie winks at me and I blush. She leans over and whispers. “Nicely done, I have never seen Charlie act the way she does around you, it’s lovely to see.”
“Thank you but she is always like this.”
Ellie laughs and shakes her head. “No, she wasn’t. I remember when Stacey got her heart broke the first time, sure Charlie was there for her, but she would say things and never realise that they hurt Stacey’s feelings. You just had to nudge her, and she realised that she was insensitive. She would never bother hugging Stacey like this and from what Stacey told me, she has grown since she has been with you.”
“I really haven’t done anything Ellie.”
“Yes, you have, you just haven’t realised it. You are a great couple and no matter what comes up, stay strong, keep the hope and keep talking.”
“I will Ellie…I’m nervous about Charlie going on tour but I support her, and this is her dream. I’m going to miss her so much, but I want her focused on what she has to do and not worry about me while she is out there.”
“I understand your worries and your fears. No matter where Charlie goes, you are going to be with her in her heart. She will be focused on what she is doing but in the downtime, she will be thinking of you. When Anthony was on tour, I felt the exact same way as you, but we were connected and always would be. He called when he could, and he wrote to me all the time. They were the most romantic letters I ever received from him and I still have them to this day. You have Stacey and your friends, and you have me too anytime you need to talk.”
She wipes the tears that I didn’t realise I was shedding from my eyes. “Thanks, Ellie that means a lot to me.”
“Hey, sweetheart, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Why the tears? Mom, did you upset Em?”
I am quick to defend Ellie. “No, nothing like that, these are happy tears and your mother is so very sweet to me, she couldn’t upset me.”
Charlie pulls me into her arms and kisses the top of my head. “Okay that’s good, I don’t like to see you crying sweetheart. I’m sorry mom, I didn’t mean to assume.”
Ellie smiles and looks at me. I grin and shrug. “It’s okay Charlie, I understand but let’s order I’m starving.”
We have our lunch and the conversation is light. Stacey has come back again to her smiling self and starts to tease Charlie. We continue around the mall and even Charlie sticks it out until the end of the day, even though she is weighed down with bags. Ellie drives us home and we settle in for an evening of movies including a bottle of wine or two.
I enjoy hearing stories of Charlie’s childhood and about her dad. It is sad that I can’t meet him, but I see a lot of his qualities in Charlie with the way Ellie talks about him. Charlie looks so relaxed and at ease. I don’t think I have seen her like this before. She has her head on my shoulder and her hand resting on my stomach as Stacey loads up the DVD player with the movie. Ellie comes in with bowls of popcorn and crisps for us to munch on while we watch the movie. She smiles down at Charlie curled up against me and goes to sit beside Stacey who makes herself comfortable by laying her head on Ellie’s lap.
“Stace, that’s my mom you are lying on top of.”
“I know, you don’t mind Ellie, do you?”
Ellie grins and runs her fingers through Stacey’s hair. “Don’t mind Charlie, Stace, you are fine just where you are.”
Charlie tuts as Stacey sticks out her tongue making Ellie and I laugh at the two grown adults acting like children, trading looks between each other. The movie starts and we all settle in to watch it. Charlie puts her hand under my t-shirt and starts to stroke my stomach making me gasp. I try my best to cover it up with a cough. Charlie starts to snicker, so I rest my hand on top of hers and whisper. “Behave, Charlie, you know what that does to me.”
She leans up and kisses me. “I know, I’ll be good.”
I smile and nod. “Okay baby, make sure you do because that is your mother sitting over there.”
She laughs again and settles into me once more, every so often her fingers start to stroke but when she realises, she stops again. It’s such a natural thing for her to do when we are alone. My fingers stroke her arm as I pull her closer to me. Her head is in the crook of my neck and this is what I love. Normally Charlie is the one to hold me, but when she needs a cuddle, she just curls into me and lets herself be held. Every so often, Ellie catches my eye and she smiles at me. It is so easy to see how much she misses Charlie and the love she has for her daughter. They are so close and in my mind, I really want the two of us to come and live closer to Ellie. It would be nice for the three of us.
The credits roll up and Ellie switches off the movie. She notices that both Stacey and Charlie have fallen asleep. “You know Em, this happens every time they watched a movie growing up. I would be left watching it by myself. I’m just glad I have you here with me this time.”
Ellie gently nudges Stacey awake while I do the same with Charlie. “That wasn’t a great movie at all was it?”
I look at Charlie and laugh. “How would you know? You fell asleep.”
“Exactly, it was so boring that I fell asleep.”
Ellie laughs when Stacey agrees with Charlie. “Sounds about right, you would agree. I thought it was very funny. Sandra Bullock was great in it.”
“Sandra Bullock... was she in it? I don’t remember seeing her.”
I laugh incredulous. “Seriously Stace, when did you fall asleep?”
She blushes and shrugs. “We will have to watch it again.”
“I’m going to clean up, you all get off to bed and I will see you in the morning.”
Stacey is the first that goes to her room and Charlie leads me to her room. “Baby I’m going to help my mom, I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
I pull her into me and kiss her. “Okay sweetheart, I am really enjoying myself here. Your mom is awesome.”
Even in the minimal light, I can see Charlie blush and she goes downstairs.
****
“Mom, what can I do to help?”
Mom turns around and smiles at me. “Why are you not in bed? I can handle this, there’s not much to do.”
“I want to help.”
She stops what she is doing and looks at me. “What’s in your head, honey?”
“Nothing really.”
She pulls out two chairs and points to the one next to her. “Sit and spill.”
I laugh. “How do you always know when I have something on my mind?”
“I’m your mother Charlie, it comes with the territory. Now, what’s on your mind?”
“I want to take Em to dad’s grave, would that be okay with you?”
She smiles softly and takes my hand. “Why did you feel you had to ask honey?”
“It’s only ever been us that have been, and I didn’t want to upset you by taking Em without you knowing.”
“Charlie, honey, has Stacey never been to the grave?”
I shake my head. “She wasn’t here when dad was brought home and I never brought her after that. It’s a special place and I want to respect you and make sure it’s okay. Do you think dad would mind me taking Em?”
“Charlie, I can be sure he would love Em, I am not upset that you want to take her there, it’s a part of you and it’s nice to share that side with her. I think you should take Stacey too, your dad adored that crazy girl. He was so proud of the way she always stood up for you when you had your troubles in school.”
“I miss him mom and I wish he could meet Em and know how happy I am now with her.”
She pulls me into her arms as the tears fall. “Oh baby, I know you miss him, I do too every day. You are a wonderful daughter and we are so proud of who you are. You were daddy’s girl and he always loved that fact and would tease me about it.”
I laugh through my tears. “You know I love you, mom.”
“I do, and you show that every day. We are close too sweetheart and it’s what I love. How about we all go tomorrow, we can get some flowers to take to your
dad and then we will do something nice for the afternoon.”
“That sounds nice mom. How about I take you to the beach, I know it’s a bit of a drive, but it was your favourite spot with dad.”
“That sounds wonderful honey, I look forward to it. I can make us a picnic and you can show Em where you broke your arm that time and tell her how you did it.”
I lift my head back and laugh. “No, I don’t think I will tell her that.”
“It’s okay, I will save you from telling her and tell her myself.”
I start to laugh. “You are taking embarrassing your daughter in front of her girlfriend a bit too far. Do you not think the photos were bad enough?”
“Oh no, I have a few more stories to reveal to my future daughter-in-law.”
I smile at that. “Okay mom, I will allow it because I agree with you, you have the best daughter-in-law in Em.”
I see my mom grin. “So, you are going to ask her to marry you?”
“One day I will yes, I want to spend my life with her.”
She pulls me into her. “I am delighted for you Charlie and you have my blessing even though you don’t need it.”
“I always like to have your backing mom and having your ring just makes it even more special.”
“It’s special to me Charlie, to see you have your dreams come true and that girl will make them come true.”
“Thanks mom for always being here and for being so supportive of me.”
“Always honey, now go to bed and I will see you in the morning.”
“I want to help you clear up first.”
“Go to bed honey, I will just be locking up the doors and will be gone myself.”
“Okay mom, I love you, goodnight.”
“Love you too Charlie, sweet dreams.”
Chapter 17
I wake up just as I am about to cum, and I bite down on my bottom lip to stop the scream from escaping. I pull back the duvet to see Charlie licking up the treasure I have given her. She looks up into my eyes and I see her smirk as she kisses my clit making my hips buck again. I am so aroused and seeing her blue eyes look so dark with her excitement, makes me want to fuck her so bad. She moves up my body, kissing every inch until she gets to my lips. She smiles at me. “Good morning darling.”
“It really is but I’m hungry baby.”
“Is that so and what would you like to eat?”
She is moving her hips in against me and I can feel how wet she is. “I want you. I want to eat you.”
She grins at me and moves further up my body, painting my stomach with her arousal. “Charlie, hurry up, I need you.”
She positions herself above my mouth. I can smell her arousal and it’s intoxicating. I reach for her hips to pull her down onto my mouth and eat her like I haven’t eaten in a week. She rides my face as I move my hands to her breasts to massage and play with her nipples. I watch her reach back and feel her fingers start to dance on my clit. I moan, and she smiles at me. “You like that baby?”
I moan again as she speeds up her fingers on my clit and I almost lose focus on what I am doing. I add my fingers to her as my tongue draws out her juice and her clit stands to attention for me. Her breathing starts to change, and she is moaning my name. I know she is about to cum. I increase my tempo and she spills into my mouth. I take all of what she has given me. My hips buck and I feel the orgasm building and it flows out of me as I cum so hard I am seeing stars.
Charlie moves beside me, takes me in her arms and kisses me. “I love you Em, it really is a truly beautiful morning spending it with you.”
“I love you too baby and I love getting that type of wake-up call.”
“Mmm I woke, and you looked so sexy, I had to have a taste.”
“I’m not complaining, I just hope your mom didn’t hear us.”
Charlie chuckles. “She won’t, her bedroom is downstairs at the back of the house.”
“Oh really, that’s good to know.”
Charlie looks up at me with a hint of curiosity. “What are you thinking?”
I grin and shrug. “I was just thinking that if she is that far away from us that maybe you would like to try out what we got yesterday.”
She grins at me, gets up and I watch as she already has it ready waiting on the locker. I laugh. “You were already thinking about it.”
“Guilty as charged, sweetheart.”
I watch as she puts on the strap and comes on top of me. She kisses me with every ounce of passion she has. With the sensation of her tongue dancing erotically with my own, I can feel myself getting wet again.
“I’m going to go down and taste you to make sure you are wet enough before I can thrust inside of you. Tell me if it hurts too much or if you want me to stop.”
“Stop talking Charlie and eat me, then fuck me.”
I surprise myself with how I speak to her, but she doesn't mind, and she does exactly that. She eats me until she is satisfied that she can slide her fake cock inside of me. She goes in inch by inch and I gasp as she does. “More baby, I need you deeper.” She moves until the cock is fully inside me and starts to thrust. I have never been filled like this before. “Oh, baby fuck me harder.”
Charlie thrusts harder and faster and it isn’t long before the cum starts to pour out of me as my orgasm rips through my body like an avalanche. Charlie slows down her movements and then slides out of me. She takes off the strap and licks the cum off the fake cock as I watch her.
“You taste so sweet, baby.”
“Come here honey, I want to kiss you and I can’t move yet, my limbs won’t obey me.”
She grins triumphantly at this, comes on top of me and kisses me. We kiss slower this time, just enjoying the simple sensation of our kiss. As she breaks the kiss, she looks into my eyes. “I love our new purchase, next time you can see what you think of it and fuck me.”
The fist of arousal hits my stomach and I groan with the thought of doing that to Charlie. “I think I would like to do that very much.”
She leans down and kisses me before she moves so that I am lying on top of her. She loves holding me like this and stroking my back. I must admit that I love it too. I feel so safe and secure in her arms. I love the feel of her hands on me. I relax straight away, and I can feel sleep coming again and drift off in the comfort of Charlie’s arms.
We are awoken a short time later with what can only be described as an elephant banging on the door.
“You two lovebirds need to get up now, I’ve been nice letting you sleep in this long.”
Charlie groans. “I love her, but I swear I want to hurt her sometimes.”
I chuckle and kiss her chest. “Stace, we will be down in just a few minutes.”
“You better be, my sleep was interrupted and I am not happy.”
I blush and Charlie laughs. “Stace, go away.”
We hear her laughing as her footsteps are heard going downstairs. “Do you fancy coming into the shower with me?”
I look at Charlie and can see the mischief in her eyes. I grin and quickly nod. We go for a shower that takes longer than normal, with two orgasms thoroughly enjoyed, before making our way to the kitchen. Stacey is sitting with Ellie drinking her coffee and eating pancakes. When we walk in she gives us a look. “Did you two sleep well?”
Charlie grins at her. “Always do when I have this beautiful woman beside me.”
“Hmmm, yeah, I know, but you woke me up, just so you know and that is something I don’t need to hear.”
I blush, so does Charlie and we stay quiet, but it is what Ellie says next that floors us. “I’m glad they are enjoying each other’s bodies so much, it’s important in a relationship and you would be just the same if you had a boyfriend here with you and you know it.”
All three of us are blushing scarlet now and Ellie laughs. “I’m not a prude nor am I a virgin and I am glad that part of your relationship is healthy.”
“Oh my god mom, please stop talking.”
Ellie laughs, gets up
and brings Charlie and me coffee. She kisses the top of Charlie’s head making her smile. “Love you too mom.”
“What are we going to do today babe?”
Charlie looks at her mom making Ellie nod her head and I wonder what that is about. I didn’t have to wait long because Charlie turns in her seat and takes my hand. I look into her eyes and see a hint of sadness which takes me by surprise. I rub my thumb over the back of her hand in comfort. She looks down and smiles softly at me.
“I want to take you to my dad’s grave and then after that, we will go to my mom’s favourite beach for the day.”
I understand the hint of sadness and I see Stacey’s mouth hang open. “I would really like that baby. It would be nice to go there and to pay my respect to the man who in part produced a beautiful and intelligent woman.”
I look at Ellie and smile softly. “Thank you for allowing me to do this.”
“You don’t have to thank me, it’s what Charlie wants and needs to do.”
I moved my chair closer to Charlie and she moves her head onto my shoulder so I can hold her close.
“Am I going too?”
Ellie laughs looking at Stacey. “No, we are leaving you behind… of course, you are coming too, you are a part of this family too.”
Stacey looks at Charlie who nods and she smiles. “I’ve never been to Anthony’s grave before, I miss him too, he was a great dad and he always gave me so much time, he was nicer to me than my own dad.”
Ellie gives her a hug. “He loved you too even though the two of you drove us mad.”
Charlie and Stacey laugh, and I am sure they were a handful growing up. We have our breakfast and we go to a florist to pick up some flowers. We go into the graveyard and Charlie takes my hand as we go to her dad’s grave. We place the flowers and we stand for a few minutes. Ellie tidies up a few of the old flowers and then comes beside Charlie. Charlie looks at her mom and they share a sad smile. Ellie leans her head on Charlie’s shoulder. “He would be very proud of you Charlie. He loved you very much and the fact you brought Em here, he would have loved that.”
There are silent tears falling from Charlie’s eyes and I squeeze her hand. My heart aches to see how sad she is, but I still manage a smile.
