Chapter Thirty-Nine ‘Charlene’s Back’
Charlene walked out of the arrival gate scanning the crowd for Edison. Shawn walked alongside her tiredly. She was wearing a denim skirt with a red halter top. They had been talking all through the flight about their past, hobbies and favorite things. They were really content that they had finally got a brother/sister.
‘Charlene!’ a voice called her name. She looked all direction till she glimpsed a tall man waving at her. He was wearing a black shirt that wasn’t tucked in and black combat trousers. Her heart flipped just looking at him. She ran to him and jumped on him. He had to step back before he fell back with her. ‘Whoa there girl!’
‘I missed you so much!’ she shrieked. Passer-bys glanced at them, some stopped. Their expression was either admiration or envy.
‘Not as much as me!’ Edison whispered near her ear. He inhaled her perfume. He didn’t want to let her go now that he has her in his arms.
‘I missed you more than you missed me!’ Charlene childishly said stared straight into his eyes.
‘Oh yeah? I missed you more than you missed me and more!’ Edison replied. He planted a kiss on her lips just to emphasize it.
‘No you didn’t miss me more than me,’ she pouted. Then, ‘If you did, you would have kissed me like this!’ she grabbed his collar and tugged at it till his head came forward, taking the opportunity she kissed him hungrily.
They pulled apart to grasp some air. Edison smiled showing that he got what he wanted. ‘Come on, you can do better than that!’ he challenged her.
‘Ah hem,’ they both looked back at Shawn who was standing there, with her and his bags beside his feet, all red with embarrassment. Both Edison and Charlene then realized that they had just caused a scene, a romantic scene by the way. They blushed and gave a we-are-really-sorry wave to the small crowd. ‘I wish I wanted to stay here but I’d like to go home and go straight to sleep.’
They gave him an uncomfortable laugh and followed him out of the airport and into the parking lot. It was ten pm, so it was dark outside. Edison carried Charlene’s bag. She explained that it was heavy because she did some shopping for everyone. On their way to drop off Shawn Charlene got the chance to explain why Shawn with her. He was relieved inside that Shawn wasn’t a threat to him.
‘So, admit it,’ Charlene said out loud when they left Shawn’s driveway.
‘Admit what?’ he said baffled at what she was going on about.
‘That you were jealous of Shawn,’ she laughed at his outrage face.
‘I was not!’ he shrieked in disbelief. ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about!’
‘If you say so,’ she folded her arms on her chest, unconvinced.
He shifted on his seat uncomfortable. Even though his eyes were on the road he could just see her face in his mind. He exhaled deeply. ‘Okay, okay. You win.’ She waited for him to carry on, he could just imagine. ‘Yes I was jealous of Shawn,’ he admitted. ‘Happy now?’ he added.
She nodded her head and hugged his arm that lay on his knee, the other one on the steering wheel. He took the risk to look down on her. He smiled at her happy face. He shook his head and moved his attention back to the road. He then halted the car to his destination. Charlene looked up from her position and stared at it in confusion.
‘We’re at my place,’ he explained. ‘I want to show you something.’
He climbed out of his car then quickly rushed to the passengers’ door and yanked it open. He offered his hand to her. She took it and climbed out. He guided her inside his mansion.
‘So what is it then?’ she asked cheekily after five minutes. They were seated at his library drinking apple juice.
‘Huh?’ he stared at her confused.
‘You said you got something to show me,’ she reminded him. ‘If you think you got me here for another reason – the one you guys think of you know what – then I’m here to warn you, touch me and you won’t have hands no longer,’ she threatened him, eyeing him suspiciously. He spat his drink out. Coughing viciously he tried to say something but he couldn’t. ‘I’m telling just coz we’re going out don’t mean anything like the other bit – you know what I mean, right?’ she rolled her eyes emphasizing the other bit.
‘Char!’ he shrieked in disbelief. ‘I can not believe you think I’ll do that!’ He stood up towering over her, his cough in control now. ‘How can you think so low of me?’ he was offended she realized.
‘I – I’m sorry,’ she looked away from him in guilt.
He chuckled. She looked so cute. He motioned her to come with him. She followed behind quietly and red faced. ‘This!’ he said when they were standing in the hallway. He opened a door and she walked in. He trailed behind. Her face expression turned from curiosity to surprised.
‘Omg! How? How did you do this?’ she was still awe struck looking at the wall. There hanging was the pictures of her. They were blown up and put in frames. It was the pictured that Vic took the day he started.
‘Vic gave them to me yesterday and I loved it so I thought I wanted to keep it here,’ he explained proudly. ‘It took Vic and me all morning to get this done.’
‘What is this place?’ breathlessly she said.
‘It’s my now exhibition room,’ he grinned. She made an o with her mouth. She was pleased with his room. ‘You don’t mind, do you?’ he didn’t know if he done something wrong until now.
‘No!’ she quickly said. ‘I love it.’ She rushed to him and hugged him tightly. ‘Thank you,’ she whispered.
She pulled back enough to kiss him fully on the lips. This time, unlike before, she was hungrier for him, too much. She was out of control. She wanted to taste him all over. She wanted to touch him and be touched. To her this had never happened before. She ripped open his shirt. The buttons fell on the floor but none of them noticed. She trailed her kiss to his chin.
‘I don’t think this is a good idea,’ he said trying to catch his breath. He too felt something hungry. He couldn’t deny that he didn’t want this. His body was too hot with her touches.
‘Ssshhh,’ she trailed her lips back to his.
She raked her hands on his hair and tugged it. She then dropped her hands to his – now bare chest – and explored. At the same time she lowered her lips down to his neck and nuzzled on it. He felt really hot now. Too hot like a volcano about to erupt.
‘Wait!’ he said trying to pull her off. But she wouldn’t budge as if like glued to him. ‘Char, listen to me,’ he tried to reason with her.
But she wasn’t listening to him. She was lost in her own mind. It was like someone else was controlling her body. She lowered her lips a little more. She was kissing his chest.
He was sure she would regret this later on. He didn’t want that. Charlene wasn’t the type to do this that he knew. He didn’t know what happened, if she had been drinking or not. Charlene wasn’t a drinker. So that got this whole thing confusing. He was getting out of control with her kisses and touches; he might not be able to control himself any longer. He had to stop this now.
‘Char,’ this time when she didn’t budge he pushed her off him not too roughly but enough for her to be off him. Her mouth was swollen red, her breathing was heavy and she still looked hungry for more.
‘Edison,’ she whispered.
‘No,’ he stopped her. ‘I don’t know what happened but I know one thing, you will regret this later.’ He thought he got through to her when he saw that she looked embarrassed.
‘You don’t want me,’ she cried out.
‘My God, Char!’ he was baffled. ‘What has gotten into you?’ he knew he wouldn’t get any answers from her so he carried on. ‘Listen to me,’ he grabbed hold of her, ‘yes I want you really bad but I can wait as well. I know you’re not ready and that is why it is wrong right now!’ He wished to God that it got through to her because he didn’t know if he could stand there and not hold her.
As if his prayers have been answered she whimpered. ‘I am so sorry. I don’t know what gotten into me.’ Then she added, ‘can you take me home now.’ All the while she wouldn’t make any eye contact with him. He knew she realized what she had done and now was embarrassed. He nodded, understanding. Quietly they made their way out of the mansion and into his car not before changing his shirt.
Ten minutes later he parked his car in front of her apartment. They were silent on their journey. Edison wanted to see her to her door so he followed her inside carrying her bag.
‘What do you have in here?’ he exclaimed when they got outside her apartment door.
‘Souvenirs,’ She declared plainly.
Taking in her tone he knew that she was still irritated by him. He sighed. ‘Are you still angry with me?’
‘Can we talk about this tomorrow when I had my sleep and get over the jet lag,’ she then frustrated opened the door and entered only to scream.
