Maybe we hadn’t changed that much after all.
After we had made quite a spectacle of ourselves in front of our parents’ guests… as they had all just witnessed the newly-made brother and sister pair making out… Charlie set me back on my feet, and focused solely on me, even though there were now hundreds of eyes on us.
“Your side of the closet...” He stumbled through his words. “You drawers… they’re still all empty. I can come help you grab your stuff tonight. Or now!” He squeezed my hands. “Screw the rest of this party.”
“Charlie.” I stopped him, trying to calm him down. “I’m not…” I lowered my voice so only he could hear me. “I’m not going to move back in. I said we’d try. So maybe… we should try dating like normal people.”
My reasoning made sense. Everything else about our relationship was so fast that when things got difficult, we both gave up. Maybe if we put in the extra effort this time, we’d be strong enough to get through anything that came our way... together.
And he understood that. At least, I know deep down he understood that.
“But we’re still going to spend every night together.” He pushed.
“Probably.” I agreed, not expecting anything different.
“So… you see this doesn’t really make sense, right?” He took a step closer to me, laying his hand on my hip.
“It does… we’ll each still have our own space.” I reasoned.
His eyes brightened. “I have a second bedroom!”
“Charlie!” I laughed, realizing he was going to make me work for this.
His other hand landed on my other hip and he smiled down at me. “Okay. We’ll try it your way.”
“Thank you.” I smiled back.
“There’s only one problem.” He looked around, almost frantically.
“What?” I followed his eyes.
He stopped searching and lowered his lips to my ear. “Where am I going to fuck you right now?”
My stomach did loops and my insides yearned at his suggestion. Without missing a beat, I bit my bottom lip and flirtingly blinked my eyes up at him.
“Come with me.”
I squeezed his hand tightly, and pulled him through the crowd of people. My eyes caught Amanda, who had already found her own prize for the evening. She returned my stare and gave me a wink and a thumbs up before turning back to her conversation.
“The bathrooms, huh?” Charlie pointed out as we crossed the foyer of the country club. “I see what you’re doing here, Sis.”
“If you want me to keep doing it, you better stop calling me ‘Sis’.” I warned.
Then, with a quick glance to each side, and with the replay of our first night together flashing through my mind, I shoved him into the bathroom, followed close on his tail, and locked the door behind me.
“Take off your pants.”
He didn’t say anything. He just smiled.
“Take. Off. Your. Pants.” I repeated.
And he listened.
So maybe it wasn’t the brightest idea to start this relationship the same way we did the last one, but damn…
It was fucking sexy.
