A Chance Encounter

by Charlie Conwell

  Finally, I hear the call for me to board. I can’t help but smile as I think about Emily and how shocked she will be to see me. I’m in uniform and as I’m making my way to the plane, I pass a family with a little girl. She makes eye contact with me, smiles and salutes me. I stop to salute her, she smiles and then hides into her mom. Her mom looks up to see what has caused the shyness and sees me. She smiles at me and the little girl salutes me again before hiding. I salute her once more before continuing onto the plane.

  I take my seat and buckle in. The flight is going to be eight hours, so I get as comfortable as I can. Within a few minutes, everyone is aboard and the plane is taxing on the runway. I close my eyes and try to sleep. Every so often, we hit turbulence and I awake wincing from sleeping awkward in the cramped seat. I take a walk up and down the aisle just to stop myself from cramping. I see the little girl from before and she is laughing at the movie she is watching. She looks up at me and grins. “Hello.”

  I smile at her. “Hello, you salute very well.”

  “My grandpa taught me how to do it. He was in the army.”

  “That’s very cool, I bet he is very proud of you, being able to do it so well.”

  Her mom leans over. “I’m sorry, is she bothering you?”

  I shake my head. “Not at all, she is a very special little girl, she could show some of my unit how to salute properly.”

  I see the little girl puff up with the praise and her mom grins at her.

  “I’m Tori and when I’m bigger I’m going to be in the army just like you.”

  Her mom’s eyes widen and I grin. “That’s great to hear, you will be a fine soldier one day. My name is Charlie.”

  “I’m watching Beauty and the beast, it’s my favourite. Do you like it?”

  “I do but my favourite is Wreck-it Ralph.”

  Her eyes light up and she bounces on her seat. “I like that one too, don’t I mom?”

  “Yes, you do honey. Let Charlie go back to her seat now, she is probably tired.”

  I see her pout so I kneel in front of her. “How about I go back to my seat now and in a little bit, I will come back and see you, if it’s okay with your mom, for us to talk some more?”

  She looks at her mom expectantly. “Can she mom? I promise I’ll be good. She is nice and she saluted me like grandpa used to.”

  Her mom looks into her eyes and can’t help but smile softly at her. “If you be good and take a nap when your movie is finished.”

  “I will mom. Charlie, you come back after my nap. You should nap too and behave.”

  I start to laugh at how cute and bossy she is at the same time. I stand up at attention and salute. “I promise I will Tori.”

  She giggles salutes back and I move back to my seat. I fall asleep within minutes and the flight is much smoother. I wake up a little while later and keep my promise to Tori by talking to her until we are almost ready to land.

  It has been a pleasant flight for the most part and Tori kept me entertained. I learned all about her grandpa and how much she misses him since he died. She is a sweet kid and she makes me think about my future with Emily. The possibility of having kids and what they would be like. It brings a smile to my face.

  I disembark from the plane and go to the baggage claim to retrieve my bag. I make my way outside and I am hit with a blast of cold air. I shiver but smile and take a deep breath. I’m home baby, I’m coming to see you.

  I hail a taxi and head home. The taxi driver makes small talk but I am so busy looking out the window, that I am not paying full attention to the conversation. He pulls up outside the house and the smile that erupts on my face makes him laugh at me. “I can see that you are happy to be home. This one's on me, thank you for your service.”

  I try to protest but he is having none of it and pushes my money away. “Please allow me this honour, you came home safe and served us proudly.”

  I smile at him and thank him. I get out and go to the front door. The butterflies are taking flight in my stomach as I put the key in the door. I open it and I immediately feel home. I go inside in search of my heart but every room is empty. I feel deflated as I set my bags in our room. I smile as I see Emily’s troll pillow and pick it up cuddling it to me instantly getting her scent. I breathe deeply, close my eyes and a thought comes to my mind. I smile, get up and make my way out of the house.

  I make my way to the park and in the distance, I can see someone sitting under our tree. I have to stop myself from taking off in a sprint because I recognise Emily instantly. My smile is so big, my cheeks are aching. As I get closer, I see that her books are on the ground around her, but her eyes are closed leaning back against the tree.

  I come before and softly call her name. “Emily.”

  She keeps her eyes closed and sighs. “I think about you so much Charlie, I miss you so much and when I think about you, it’s so strong it’s almost like I can hear you. I wish you were here for your birthday, I love you so much baby, please be safe and I can’t wait to see you in a few weeks.”

  I frown but then smile as I realise she is in a daydream talking to herself and thought my voice was a part of her daydream.

  I kneel in front of her. “Emily, baby.”

  I see her frown and realisation flashes across her face, but she still doesn’t open her eyes.

  “Emily, sweetheart, open your eyes.”

  She shakes her head. “I’m afraid if I do, you will disappear and not really be here.”

  I chuckle, lean in and brush my lips against hers. She gasps and then moves away from me, opening her eyes with a smile so big and tears begin to flow down her cheeks.

  “You’re really here, but how? Oh my God baby, you’re here.”

  She leaps into me and crashes her lips against mine. She kisses s me so hard and passionate, pouring every ounce of love including how much she missed me. I wince a little unprepared for the leap, but I keep her in my arms and let her feast on my mouth until she is satisfied. She breaks the kiss breathless but stays in my arms and smiles at me. “You’re home, really here back to me, I’ve missed you so much.”

  “I’ve missed you too every day, I missed you and I thought about you all the time. I’m so glad to be back home and have you in my arms. This is the best birthday present I could ever ask for.”

  Her eyes widen and she smiles so big. “Happy birthday baby, I love you. God, it’s so good to see you.”

  “You are the best thing I have seen in a long time. You are so beautiful baby, I love our tree and our spot here, but do you think we could go home so I can show you how much I missed you?”

  She bites her bottom lip but I see the glint in her eye and I grin. I kiss her hard, push my tongue into her mouth and she moans into the kiss. Her hands in my hair matching my passion, igniting the flames of desire. I can feel my need rise and as Emily starts rocking her hips into me, I break the kiss.

  “We need to go home… please… home now.”

  She stares into my eyes and grins. She bites my lower lip, making me moan to the feel of her tongue swiping over my lips soothingly. She has a devilish grin on her face and moves so she is straddling my hips.

  “I hope you have rested enough because you won’t be sleeping anytime soon.”

  I laugh. “I hope you can keep up my love.”

  She laughs and that sound just makes me smile so much. I have missed it. She stands up, holds out her hand and I take it instantly. We gather up her belongings and make our way back to the house. Every so often, Emily will stop walking and lay her head against my shoulder.

  I smile softly as I look at her. “I’m home baby, I’m really here.”

  She holds my hand tighter and shrugs. “I’ve missed you, Charlie.”

  We get back to the house and Emily tries to unlock the door, but I’m standing behind her nuzzling her neck, my hands running up and down her body.

  “Charlie…damn, you need to stop that, I can’t get the door open.”

  I smirk against her neck an
d nibble on her skin. She moans and I hear her breathing change. She sounds so sexy and with the thoughts of what we are going to do, I am already wet. I take the key from her and unlock the door. As soon as it is open, we start kissing again. She drops her books while continuing to kiss me as we go towards our bedroom.

  She talks against my lips. “Stacey is away with Niall for a couple days; the house is ours.”

  I smile and pull away. “I don’t care if the pope was here, I am going to make you scream so much that the neighbours will hear.”

  I hear her hiss and she kisses me again as we go through the bedroom door. I push her gently onto the bed, straddle her hips and begin to kiss her again. My hands gently stroke her neck before moving into her hair. She pulls my tee out of my pants and we break the kiss enough for it to go over my head. She drops it to the floor, her eyes moving down to my breasts. She kisses the exposed parts and my bra is the next to fall to the floor.

  I see her eyes widen as she sees where I was shot and she gasps. “Charlie…”

  I lift her chin up gently with my fingers and stop the tears from falling. “I’m okay, I’m right here sweetheart. I’m home. I am well and I am here…baby, I’m here with you…home.”

  She smiles sadly at me and glances down at the scarred tissue. “You are okay to…you know?”

  I chuckle. “Am I okay to have sex with you?”

  She bites her lip and nods at me. Instead of answering, I rip her tank top open and expose her naked breasts.

  I take a nipple into my mouth and suck hard making her throw her head back moaning out my name. I undo her jeans and smile against her nipple as I feel she isn’t wearing any panties. I move off her, pulling her jeans off her before getting on my knees and attacking her beautiful pink pussy with my mouth. Long licks of my tongue making her gasp with each one. I avoid her clit enjoying my first taste of her in two years. She is so wet for me, but I need her to not be afraid to touch me or to take what she wants and needs.

  I push my tongue through her folds, gathering all the sweetest honey I can. She tastes so good that it makes me moan and the hunger rises inside of me. I suck her clit into my mouth flicking my tongue back and forth. Her hips buck and a low moan escapes her. Her hands move into my hair, tightly keeping me in place, afraid I would start to tease her. I smile as I continue to pleasure her, letting her ride my tongue. I slide three fingers inside without warning and start up a hard and fast pace making her scream my name. I look up at Emily and she is beauty personified as she is giving herself to me. She wants me and needs me more. I thrust in deep and keep up the pace as her hips move in time with mine.

  “Make me cum…I’m so close…Charlie please…”

  I can feel her walls start to tighten around my fingers, begging for the release to come and I dutifully oblige. She cums so hard that she screams so loud and her body arches forward. I keep going, letting her ride out the orgasm. She is breathing hard but the love I see in her eyes melts me.

  I continue to lick and nibble her clit. I slow my pace with my fingers but I need more from her. I need her to cum again, to feel her body tremble and my name being called out. I have missed her and need to fulfil my hunger. My own arousal is at fever pitch, my clit pulsing so hard but I focus on Emily and bring her to another orgasm, which is quickly followed by another. She flops back on the bed, her chest heaving up and down, trying to catch her breath.

  I slide up her body, my wetness coating her stomach and she moans in pleasure. She can feel my clit hard. She grabs my ass and pushes me up her body. I look into her eyes and smile. “Is there something you want?”

  She growls at me and I know I have gotten her to forget about the wound and be with me in the moment. She flips me over so I am on my back, her eyes are fierce with possessiveness and desire.

  She takes a nipple into her mouth and sucks hard before biting down, making me hiss. She soothes it with the flat of her tongue before showering the other one with the same attention. She kisses down my body and comes to my scarred tissue. I move my hand to her cheek “I’m okay sweetheart, I’m here.”

  She nods her head and kisses the scar softly before moving lower. She opens my legs wider and takes a second to see how wet I am for her. She looks up at me and grins. “Someone has really missed me.”

  I laugh. “You better believe it, babe.”

  She kisses all along my thigh before pushing three fingers inside, moving them so slow in and out.

  “Em…god, please.”

  She looks up at me with a look I can’t distinguish but is as sexy as hell, before her teeth plunge into my skin, between my pussy and thigh. It makes me moan as she sucks hard and picks up the pace with her fingers. She pushes in deep and hard bringing her thumb crashing over my hardened clit. I am writhing in pure ecstasy but she refuses to let go of the skin between her teeth. Sucking harder until I scream out her name and the eruption of my orgasm rips through my body. She releases my skin and soothes the area with slow licks. She proudly looks at her mark. She is about to take her fingers out but I stop her.

  “Leave them inside…I need to feel you inside for a little longer.”

  She smiles at me and lays against my body kissing my lips. “I will leave them in for as long as you need.”

  I smile and run my fingers through her hair and breathe out slowly. “It’s so good to be back and have you in my arms. I really am truly home again.”

  We spend all day in bed sharing everything we have together. We order take away and stop long enough to have food before we go straight back to bed and continue making love. Satisfying the need of reconnection with each other. For me, it was the best birthday I have ever had and to have Emily back in my arms is the best gift I could ever ask for.

  Emily falls asleep on top of me. I continue to stroke her back just needing the touch. As I drift off, I know the next couple of days will be busy with going to see my mom, the whirlwind that is Stacey and catching up with all her news. It makes me smile as sleep takes over and it is the best night sleep I have had in such a long time.

  Chapter 33

  I awake refreshed, laying upon something soft and so warm. I snuggle in closer and my pillow starts to shake. I frown until realisation strikes and I lift my head to see the smiling face of Charlie looking at me. I smile so big, lean in and kiss her lips.

  “You are here, it wasn’t a dream.”

  She smiles at me and guides my head down onto her chest again. “Yes sweetheart, I am really here and no it wasn’t a dream. Last night we made love and it was amazing and I am hoping we might do a little more of that very soon.”

  I smile against her breast and flick out my tongue against her nipple, which hardens at the swipe of my tongue. I hear Charlie gasp and I feel her fingers press a little harder on my back. I kiss down her body, watching her muscles quiver. My eyes never leave Charlie’s and I see how much she is enjoying me kissing her.

  I am still wary of the scar tissue and the thought of how close I was to losing her, but I squash that. I focus on the sound of her breathing and her moans of pleasure. I move my head until it is between her legs. I see my mark there, I smirk and kiss it. She moves her hips begging me to have my mouth on her. My tongue starts to lick her length. I hear Charlie moan and her hands move into my hair.

  My tongue works her over inside and out. Then I move to concentrate on her clit. I stretch Charlie wide as I thrust four fingers inside, she gasps with the intrusion but soon moans in bliss at the sensation of being so filled. As she adjusts to my fingers being so deep inside her, her hips start to answer my call by rolling in unison to my fingers, pumping in and out of her. The rhythm is set and I hear my name escaping her beautiful lips.

  “Babe you are so tight, you are milking my fingers.”

  “Feels so good Em…I’m so close…fuck baby.”

  My tongue flicks faster on her clit and my fingers pound her pussy. I feel the quiver and tremor start as her walls tighten around me. I need her to cum for me.

  �
�Cum Charlie, cum now for me.”

  She screams out her release as her orgasm hurtles through her body. She cums hard and I love that I make her feel so good as I lap it up.

  I kiss her clit and her hips buck making me grin. I come slowly out of her and she groans instantly at the loss. I move up her body and position myself above her head.

  “Eat me, Charlie, I need you to make me cum.”

  She looks up at my glistening, wet pussy that is ready for her. She licks her lips, pulls me down into her mouth and eats me like she is starving. Her tongue plunders my pussy, making me ride her mouth. She opens my ass cheeks and I feel her playing with my star before she gently pushes a finger inside. I throw my head back exulting in the new feeling.

  “Oh god…yes Charlie…feels so good.”

  She doesn’t let up her attack on me. My hands are on the wall and my head bowed. Before long, I am filling her mouth with my sweet honey. She takes all of what I have to offer before I move beside her and she holds me close to her. We are both grinning and enjoying the afterglow. I run my hand over her stomach while her fingers stroke through my hair and down my arm.

  “I love you so much, Emily.”

  I raise my head up and kiss her lips. “I love you too baby.”

  She smiles that enigmatic smile that makes me go weak. I can’t help but kiss her again.

  “What do you think we should do today?”

  I kiss her chest as I think about what we should do and I smile. “We should go to your mom’s house, she will be expecting me. I normally go to her and if I don’t, she will worry. I think it will be awesome to surprise her with you coming with me. It will make her day.”

  Charlie moves me so she can look into my eyes. She smiles at me and leans to kiss my lips. “That sounds like a wonderful idea, how about I cook us up some breakfast and then we can get ready to leave.”
