Maggie was ringing her hands hoping for some kind of good news with how Charlie was. It was hard to believe there was potentially some kind of good news with how Charlie looked and it kept just replaying in her mind. She was stolen from her thoughts by the doctor and tried her best to smile through it all but she was pretty sure the worry on her face was evident. She nodded gently and followed the doctor into her office, taking a seat and feeling as though this could not be good in any way.

As she started explaining it all Mags face fell and she stared at her laps, her fingers worrying themselves and picking at dead cuticle till it almost bled. None of that sound good or like an easy fix in anyway. She hid her face in her hand at the news and all but broke at the thought, before she pulled herself together. “Yeah… I… I just. I don’t want him to be upset by it. I wanna find who did this to him.” She bit her lip and shook her head, “I hope he would understand that.”

-

The doctor nodded her head and looked at Maggie. “I think that it’s the right decision.” She said and stood. “Someone will come out to give you updates during the surgery.” She said as she led Maggie back to the waiting room after having her sign the papers and she went back to the OR to get ready. Charlie was wheeled back to get ready for surgery. Hours passed and the surgeons were able to control the internal bleedings and they worked on his arm. One of the nurses went out to update Maggie and then went back to the surgery. They did what they could for his throat and then got the rape kit done. 

Once the surgery was complete, they wheeled him to recovery and then to an ICU bed. A nurse finally came back out to Maggie with one of the surgeons to update her. “Family of Charlie Jones?” She called out and went over to Maggie. “He made it through surgery. We lost him twice but we were able to get him back and finished the surgery successfully. We repaired the internal bleeding and the shattered arm. We did what we could with his throat injuries but that is mostly just going to need to be left to heal on it’s own. We’ve done what we could for the other thing we’ve done…” She said, trying to keep a sense of privacy for her patient. “The rest is just going to be talking to him and getting his statement but he won’t have to be conscious for the physical stuff. We are expecting a full recovery pending him waking up to see if there will be any lingering effects of the lack of oxygen to his brain and his throat. Nancy here will take you back to see him.” She said before turning to walk away.

Nancy offered Maggie a smile before leading her to the ICU. “Normally we don’t allow overnight visitors but given the situation, we think it would be best if someone he knows was here whenever he decides to come back to the world of the awake. Someone will be by with a cot in case you don’t want to sleep in the chair.” She said as she let her into the room. Charlie was in the bed, tubes and wires coming from all through his body leading to the outside of the bed, the heart monitor beeped in the background and there was a tube down his throat, allowing oxygen to be pushed into his lungs and help him breath.

Maggie sat there impatiently waiting her leg bouncing as she a way to keep her from counting the seconds. Shew jumped when they called for Charlie's family. He didn't really have any but she stood up. Hearing he would make a full recovery had her releasing the breath she didn't realize she had been holding the whole time. She followed Nancy and listened to her not really wanting to answer just wanting to see Charlie and once she did her eyes widened. She turned to the nurse and smiled, "Thank you."

She carefully made her way over to Charlie's bed, her hand gently running over his forehead so she hopefully didn't disturb him as her eyes filled with tears. She pressed a small peck to his cheek, thankful he was still there. "I'm so sorry... I'm not going anywhere, Charlie. I promise. I'm going to be right here whenever you wake up." She said blinking back the tears and wiping her hand over his head again before making herself comfortable on the cot next to him. She couldn't bring herself to lay down, she just stared at him. Watching him, a part of her wondering how the hell this could be real.

The paramedics took Charlie to the ambulance and waited for Maggie to get in. One of them hopped into the drivers seat after closing the back doors while the other was in the back with Charlie and Maggie, getting an IV going and running saline, opening up a line for any approved meds before calling in through the radio, relaying information to the hospital. They gave him some morphine and took off towards the hospital. Once they got there, they unloaded Charlie and brought him inside where they took him towards the back, a nurse pointing Maggie to a waiting room with a promise someone would be back to update her when they knew more. 

An hour passed and a doctor finally came towards the waiting room, calling out Charlie’s name to see who peeked their head up. She walked over and greeted Maggie. “We have looked Charlie over and done several tests and xrays. I won’t lie to you, he’s in pretty rough shape. Why don’t we go talk in my office.” She said so they would have more privacy. Once they got to the office, she closed the door. “Mr. Jones is going to have surgery to repair some internal bleeding and fix his arm, which was completely shattered. He has some pretty severe bruising all over his body and his throat was damaged due to what seems like attempted strangulation. We won’t know about any affects of lack of oxygen till he wakes up as we don’t know if or how long he was deprived of oxygen.” She looked over her notes once more and then back to Maggie. “The last thing is that there did appear to be…” She paused for a moment to try and think of how to word her next sentence but went with just saying it. “There seems to be signs of rape which we will address while he is in surgery as well as run a rape kit as long as you give us consent to do so. We’ve tried to reach out to a Clarissa but we haven’t been able to reach her and we need the consent papers for the kit and surgery now and since he called you and you came in with him, we are trusting that he would be okay with you doing that.” She said as she held out the papers.

Owen offered the other a smile and nodded. “Yup, that’s me. I don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re a great neighbor.” He said and nodded again, figuring just saying he had a baby was easier then explaining their whole situation.” He said and smiled. “Nope, she sleeps through pretty much everything which is a miracle in itself.”

~

Maggie smiled and gave a coy nod, “that’s nice to know. I’m happy I don’t disturb you guys.” Mags smiled, “that’s great it must make it really easy on you guys. So what are you up to?”

The police activity in the house was sudden and loud, the officers coming into the home after announcing their presence, searching the house to make sure that the person who had done this wasn’t still in the house and the paramedics rushed in as soon as the officers declared it safe. One of the officers approached Maggie. “Ma’am, do you know what happened here?” She asked the other, looking towards Charlie who was now being attended to by the paramedics who were assessing him and trying to decided how they should transport. Charlie for his part was till unconscious, body motionless besides the slight rise and fall of his chest to prove that he was in fact breathing and alive. 

The list of possible injuries being rattled off by the paramedics was long and seemed like it could go on forever. Brusies, throat injuries, a broken if not shattered arm, possible internal bleeding, and most notably they noted that there could be signs of sexual assault, but they would need to wait until the hospital could looked at him to have any solid ideas since he was still out cold. They placed an oxygen mask carefully around his face to try and get more oxygen to his brain since his throat injuries were constricting how much he was getting to begin with. 

They got him on a backboard and then the gurney. The police officer finished up her questions and looked to Maggie. “If you wanted to go with him to the hospital you are free to go, we will contact you with further questions and someone will want to talk with Mr. Jones as soon as he is capable of answering questions but one last one, is there anyone that you think he knows that is capable of something like this or why?”

~

Maggie sat up quickly and moved herself away from Charlie so the others could do their work. Once she finally made it to her feet again she shook her head at the question. “No, I... he called me and there was no answer.. so I was worried.” She listened to everything but it was so much and so confusing she couldn’t keep up between that and the questions but she tried. 

She nodded once she was dismissed, “thank you, and I’m sure he won’t mind answering anything.” Her brows pulled together and she shook her head, “no.. I..” her thoughts wandered to Charlie and everything they had talked about in their past, “his dad, maybe... but I don’t really know.” Before she left to go with Charlie and nervously waited for any word on him to be okay.

[maqqicthckat]

charliexjones​:

Charlie had finally sent in the draft of the book to his editor and was relieved that the hard part was finished, at least all the words were on paper and he didn’t have to think about writing them down any longer, just making whatever edits were suggested. He pulled himself out of bed, moving to the kitchen after his nap, his house quiet as he moved through the hallway, almost too quiet as he thought he remembered leaving the tv on. He frowned as he slowed his walk, a radio turned on, music blasting through the house, causing him to jump slightly in surprise. The song registered in his head, sending him back to the times with his father. 

Oh, can’t you see you belong to me? How my poor heart aches With every step you take?

Charlie’s eyes widened as he took another shaky step foreword towards the sound, phone heavy in his pocket as he walked, trying to convince himself that it was just someone accidentally connecting to his speakers via Bluetooth. He heard a noise that was definitely a person in the house which made him freeze in place, the music continued to play in the background.

Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace. I dream at night, I can only see your face. I look around but it’s you I can’t replace. I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace. I keep crying baby, baby, please…

Before he could react, he felt something heavy hit his back between his shoulder blades and he felt his body falling forwards, hitting the floor hard, arm underneath him snapping in two. He groaned as he turned to face whoever it was that had broken into his house, the place that was supposed to be his safe zone. “Please..take whate…” He got out before his sentence stopped in it’s tracks and the familiar face of his father stood before him. He could feel the other’s eyes locked onto his body before he felt the kick to his chest. 

“YOU WILL NOT RELEASE THIS BOOK!!” His father boomed out, the kick landing square on Charlie’s chest, leaving him gasping for air. “Please….leave me alone…” Charlie said before he felt another kick to his abdomen. He had no clue how his father had even heard about the book but that didn’t matter now. What mattered was that he needed to get away from the man. He started to crawl away, slowly. The older man laughed as he pulled Charlie back by his ankles, pulling him back to a room. His father continued to hit and kick Charlie all over, leaving bruises already starting to show. Hands were suddenly around his throat and he couldn’t breath, choking on the lack of oxygen. Barely conscious, his ability to fight back was gone. 

~Time and things done later~

After some time, Charlie could feel his father’s body pulling away from his before one last kick to the head forced his eye to close. “If that book comes out, I’ll be back and I won’t leave you alive.” His father said and walked out of the house. 

Charlie laid there for a moment, body splayed out on the floor of his bedroom. He slowly pulled his pants up and tried to sit up, but he couldn’t hold himself up. He let his hand touch his neck which was covered in dark, deep purple and black hand shaped bruises. He felt bruises everywhere he could possibly get bruises. He reached to his phone which was in his pocket and when he got it, he hand the phone call his last call made back, which happened to be Maggie. He coughed, blood coming out with the cough and his eyes slipped closed, the phone ringing on the floor next to his body.

Maggie hadn’t expected the phone call from Charlie that morning as she reached to answer it. Her brows raising gently as she answered still horse from sleep, “hello?” No, answer, “Charlie?” She could hear him breathing and coughing and she caused her sit up, “Charlie?” A slight worry in her voice as she got up and threw on something quick, something was wrong. “I’m coming okay? Just stay on the phone for me?” 

She headed over finding his door wide open, which was unlike him. His place was a wreck, again unlike him. So now the worry rose even more. What had happened? “Charlie?” Her voice was soft as she called out for him in case whatever had happened had involved someone else. She carefully stepped further inside, her eyes dropping tot he floor when she finally found him on the floor in his room. She practically fell beside him, her hands hover over him scared to touch him, “Charlie?! What... What happened?” She bit her lip shaking her head, “we gotta call somebody.. the cops.. something, get you to a hospital.” Her hand gently wiped at his lips and cheek, “Charlie? Please say something?” the tears in her eyes daring to break free, and she shook her head calling the cops first, her thumb hovered over Clarissa’s name after she got off the phone with them, she was unsure of what to do, so she sent her a quick text. It was filled with so much nonsense and fear she may not even understand it, before she laid down in the floor next to Charlie and gently placed her hand over his. “I’m right here, okay? I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” Her fingers gently rubbed at his hand even though her motions were frantic she was scared to death for him.

[maqqicthckat]

“You and probably everyone in our childhood.” It was no secret and it was something most people had thought about her and Charlie when they were young. That’s what happens when you’re that close. “It’s a good life - better than the one back in McLean.” While McLean was comfortable for most, it had always been a trap for her. There was a small grin that creeped on her face as the blush colored Maggie’s cheeks. “I won’t push,” Clarissa stated slyly, knowing that it was really her place to know. It’s not like her and Maggie were super close or close at all, really. 

~

“It had been that way since we were kids.” She smiled knowing their childhoods in McLean had definitely intertwined. She blushed a little more and nodded knowing Clarissa wouldn’t push but it was probably more obvious than the other realized, “so how did you meet him? How long have you been here as well? It feels like we all just kind of met up once again.” 

[maqqicthckat]

rissa-evans​:

Clarissa shrugged at the apology, momentarily forgetting her dislike for the other woman. “Eh, it’s fine. I still have it better than most so I can only be grateful. Besides all of that mess just brought to where I’m supposed to be. I can’t be mad about that.”  A small smile covered Clarissa’s face at the compliment; it meant more than Maggie realized. Clarissa had always doubted her care-taker responsibilities and to hear that she might be decent at it, was nice to hear. Granted, Maggie didn’t see the whole cheerios in the hair fiasco, but Clarissa would take what she could get. “They’re pretty great right now, actually, we’ve worked it out. Taking things at his pace, whatever he’s okay with and of course, his daughter. It’s different dating someone with a kid. I love Jilly with my whole heart; she’s a ray of sunshine, but we are both very acutely aware that she comes first so we go slow. What about you? Got your eye on anyone?”

~

Maggie still felt bad that she had gotten things so mixed up. “I still feel bad that I just... assumed but I guess I always assumed it would be you two.” She shrugged, a bit of her insecurities and self worth peeking through before she smiled, “it does seem like you have a really awesome life.” She smiled at Clarissa moving forward in her love with this man that seemed to care greatly for her. “That sounds amazing Clarissa, she seemed like she really loved you too when I saw you with them.” Her brows rose and her cheeks blushed a bit, “Not really, no.”

Charlie nodded as he went to the couch, sitting down on it and leaning against the back cushions. He pulled his legs up under himself as he curled up. He found the position comforting to himself and he grabbed the remote, turning the tv on and flipping through to netflix, trying to find the perfect movie. He smiled as he saw Hook pop up and he clicked it, waiting for Maggie to come to the couch and looked up when the pizza was brought in. “I chose Hook because you can’t go wrong with Peter Pan and Robin Williams.”

~

Maggie smiled at the movie he chose and nodded around her pizza. “Perfect for sure. You really can’t go wrong with Robin Williams.” She settled onto one side of the couch her eyes on the screen as she pulled her legs into her chest. “I always loved Rufio.” She smiled, “I wanted hair like his but mine is way too curly and thick for that look.” She chuckled before grabbing a blanket and wrapping it around herself.

Owen had been trying to get through his thoughts lately, trying to make some decisions on where he wanted his life to go. He had heard about a music festival not far from the town and he found himself sitting out on a patch of grass as the band who was on stage played away. He was moving his head back and forth to the beat when he saw someone’s wallet slip from their bag and he pushed himself up off the ground carefully. He walked over to the wallet and picked it up before catching up to the other. “Hey, I think you dropped this!” He said as he held the wallet out for her. “Oh…hey Maggie, right? I think we’re neighbors.” He said as she took the wallet and he shoved his hands into his pockets.

@maqqicthckat​

~

Maggie’s brows furrowed as she heard someone before she started digging through her bag to make sure she hadn’t drop something, but when she heard her name she knew it had to be her and she smiled at the blonde in front of her. “Oh.. yeah, I think so. Owen right? I ugh... I’m sorry I’m not the best neighbor.” She said gently taking her wallet back and smiling at him. “You got a baby, right? Or the woman that’s been staying with you does? Hopefully I don’t keep her up. I know she doesn’t bother me.” She chuckled and tucked her curls behind her ear.

[maqqicthckat]

rissa-evans​:

“I talked about him like…” Clarissa trailed off, completely thrown and confused but the more she thought about their last conversation, the more she realized how things could have been taken completely different. The brunette waved off Maggie’s apology. She wasn’t the first one to assume it and probably wouldn’t be the last. 

“I think a lot of people always thought it would happen.” She chuckled, shrugging because she got it. Childhood best friends, super close, both bookworms and now one of them an author? It made sense but Charlie and Clarissa were far too close for that to be a reality. “Oh sure, uh…” She squinted, adjusting Jilly on her hip. “When we went to college, I met someone. Got engaged to him, Christian. My parents died, caught my fiancé cheating on me. Left McLean and moved here a few years ago.” She scratched her head, trying to give her the general overview. “Bought the bookstore, fell in love, got heartbroken, made some really good friends and met my current boyfriend. Charlie moved down here. My friends’ lives went to crap, I was the town babysitter. My ex-fiancé came into town, caused a rift with my boyfriend but we’ve made up and now we’re here.” She shrugged, thinking she got most of the major events at least. “I think that covers it. 

~

Maggie listened fully to Clarissa’s story once it had been completed she raked her hand through her curls and expelled air from her inflated cheeks. “Wow, that’s a lot. I’m sorry you had to go through all that. You seem happy now though, for sure. I don’t think I could see anyone being a town babysitter but you.” She smiled, “you were always really good with kids.” She raised her brows and shrugged, “so are things okay with your boyfriend now? Is your ex still messing things up there?”

[maqqicthckat]

charliexjones​:

Charlie nodded his head. “Pizza and a movie sounds nice.” He said as he offered her a smile, trying to reassure her that he was in fact, okay. “As long as you are here, then I’m comfortable.” He said and he sighed, running a hand through his hair. It was easy to tell him he shouldn’t be embarrassed however he couldn’t help but feel like it. He hated feeling like that but he knew some of it came from his past. He shook his head, trying to forget about those thoughts. “We gotta watch a comedy or something to change this mood.”

~ 

Maggie smiled and nodded, “I’ll order the pizza you pick the movie.” She nodded and smiled, as long as he was okay that was what mattered. “Pick us something good though. Nothing too sappy.” She teased knowing that romantic comedies tended to be her favorite. “I think we’ve had enough sap to last us a lifetime.” She ordered the pizza and once it came plopped down on the couch next to him with a smile already grabbing her a slice. “What did you pick?” 

[maqqicthckat]

charliexjones​:

Charlie looked down at her and offered a smile, trying to reassure her that he was okay, that she wasn’t to blame for his reaction, that he only blamed his father, not anybody else. He nodded as she asked if she could give him a hug and he opened his arms, pulling her in close to him in a hug. He let himself relax while they were hugging and he pulled away a short while after. “You have nothing to apologize about. Now if we want to get dressed, maybe we can go out and grab a bite to eat or something?” He asked curiously, head tilted to the side at his question. “Cause I know I’m starving and really want to just forget my little freak out even happened.”

~

She hugged him close and smiled at the feeling of him relaxing, “I... I was thinking we could maybe order some pizza and just watch a movie or something.” She bit her lip and shrugged, “but I understand if you’re not comfortable here anymore. I don’t mind looking like a slob though and just going for something easy.” She shrugged and smiled, leaning in to brush the hair away from his forehead, “Please don’t do that. Don’t beat yourself up about it. I understand being embarassed but you don’t have to be with me. I get it, Charlie.” 

[maqqicthckat]

rissa-evans​:

Clarissa’s eyebrows furrowed, not understanding why Maggie was so surprised that Charlie would know. He was her best friend. “Of course he knows.” She chuckled, tilting her head in confusion. Her dark eyes bugged out when she mentioned having kids with him, a shocked laugh being forced from her. “W-What?!” Her mind tried to work overtime, trying to piece together Maggie’s words and trying to figure out how in the heck she thought she was married and had kids with Charlie. Of course at some point in her life, she had considered it. Charlie was her best friend and during a small spell in high school she had breifly considered it but it had gone as quick as it came. Charlie was too much like family for it to ever be anything more. “We’re not married or have kids together.” Clarissa chuckled uneasily. “This is my boyfriend’s daughter and my friends kids; I’m just looking after them. Charlie…. Charlie is family, always has been.” Her eyebrow raised in question, shifting her weight nervously. “Where…why did you think we were married?”

~

Maggie’s eyes landed on Clarissa and she froze. “I... I thought.” She gulped down the anger in her throat and started laughing, her hand resting on her forehead and then moving through her hair as she listened to Clarissa’s explanation. “I... I thought when I saw you with those kids... I thought you and Charlie. You talked about him like.” She shook her head again and sighed, “I’m sorry. I just assumed.” 

She shrugged and sat down, “I assumed it because I thought it would always happen, ya know? Especially after I left. I thought I was out of the way and you were able to...” She shook her head ashamed of the fact she had just assumed that. “Can... can we start over and you tell me everything from the start? Like, explain it all.”

[maqqicthckat]

rissa-evans​:

“Mmhm.” Clarissa hummed, turning to look down at Jilly as she tugged on her shirt, no doubt probably wanting to leave. “My boyfriend – if he can even be called that, I don’t know what we are – and I had a bit of a falling out. My fault really. I probably shouldn’t have let Christian even come into the house or let him close enough to let him kiss me but I don’t know; it’s a complicated situation. Ex-fiancé and all” Once again, everything Clarissa was saying was probably way too much information but she just felt the words coming out before she could do much better. “If it wasn’t for Charlie talking sense into me, I don’t know what I’d do." 

~

Maggie’s brows rose, “boyfriend? I... I ... I thought.” She closed her mouth then at the words ex-fiancé, and then she said she had talked to Charlie about it and that sent Maggie for a loop. “You mean... you mean Charlie know?” She stood up then and shook her head, “he knows and he’s okay with all this? With... with you having a boyfriend? Clarissa! You... you have kids with him.” She nervously laughed and was pacing then. “I mean, I’m not one to judge but is... is Charlie really happy that his wife has a boyfriend?” 

[maqqicthckat]

charliexjones​:

Charlie could feel his chest constricting and it was becoming harder and harder to breath. He let his hands run through his hair as he tried his best to calm himself down. The words repeating over and over in his head but instead of Maggie’s voice, it’s his father’s. He closed his eyes as tight as he could, tears falling from his eyes as he silently sobbed, making it even harder to breath. He could feel himself going over the edge and he leaned back against the door, feeling Maggie sitting against the door on the other side. He felt bad that he was doing this all in front of her. He wanted everything to go right and now he had ruined everything. 

Listening to Maggie, Charlie started to calm himself down more. It took twenty minutes for him to calm down more, enough to come out. He stood from the floor as he stood by her mirror, running some water over his face as he tried to wipe the tears away. With his face now dry and his breathing under control, he carefully opened the bathroom door and looked out towards her. “I’m..sorry…” He said and frowned softly. “But I’ll always take care of you…no matter what.”

~

She scooted over when she felt his weight lift from the door. Tears still in her eyes as she looked up at him. Her gaze never leaving him as she stood up. “You have nothing to be sorry for.” She was itching to reach out and give him a hug or comfort him somehow but she was scared to send him back in the bathroom. “You don’t have to take care of me, Charlie. You never had too, but it meant so much when you did.”

Her brows pulled together and she steadied herself, “can... can I give you a hug. I think you need it more than I do.” She needed it to though, but it was to make sure he was okay and she hadn’t ruined everything completely. “I’m sorry I pushed for it, Charlie. I never should have.” She shook her head, “I knew better than to push for it.”

[maqqicthckat]

charliexjones​:

Charlie honestly had no clue how they had gotten to this point but there they were. He would be lying if he said he hadn’t thought of this very moment for years, ever since they were younger but it just never happened. He had always wondered what would have happened if he had made a move back then, but he wasn’t really the type to make the first move, perhaps because of what he had gone through with his father. He had gone to therapy since then and had mostly moved past those feelings and memories with tools to deal with it when they snuck back in.

Once she had swung herself over his lap, Charlie could help but stare at her for a moment, almost as if doubting it was happening. As their hands moved down, he could feel his heartbeat speed up and his blood started to pump as he let her guide their hands until they suddenly had their hands intertwined. Then the words she spoke made him freeze, body stiffening slightly as it brought him right back to his childhood. He could tell his eyes were glazing over slightly as he struggled to go through the tools he had always used, not seeming to be able to stop the memories the flooded in. He carefully moved her next to him and stood up quickly from the bed. “I’m so s-sorry…” He said as he found himself running from the room, desperate to find somewhere he could hide both from the memories and from his embarrassment. He finally found the bathroom and he closed the door behind him, leaning up against it, pulling his legs up against his chest, tears already falling down his cheeks as his breathing constricted, making him gasp for much needed air, feeling the panic starting.

~~

Maggie was frozen when he left the room, she pulled her robe back around her tight and thought about what she had potentially done wrong. She was unsure what to do. After everything Charlie had been through she was clearly not helping. Maybe she should leave? But considering what Charlie had told her early and how he had expressed that he didn’t want her to leave. She couldn’t do it, not to him.

She was still lost though unsure of what to do, so she gave him a moment to himself, getting dressed so he wouldn’t have to think about what had happened when he came out of her bathroom. A thick sweater and some leggings seemed the best route in her head, but she was still unsure. She paced for a minute, still unsure if she should bother him. But she went and sat against the bathroom door. Her voice gentle and worried about him, “I’m here, Charlie. You’re okay and you’re safe. You come out when you’re ready, but I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. If you wanna talk like this we can.” She offered but she shrugged, “or we can just sit here. No one’s going to hurt you though. I promise.” 

Her eyes dropped and she felt tears in her eyes as she pulled at loose threads on her sweater, her voice a little broken, “I’m sorry. I should have stopped us. I... It was a lot for the both of us to go for in that moment. It’s not your fault. You just take whatever time you need in there okay. I’m not going anywhere.” 

She smiled though, “you remember that time we were out,” she chuckled, “I was pretty wasted and broke my heel.” She leaned back against the door trying to get him in a different head space. “Snapped in it too thanks to some guy that was trying to grind on me at that party.” Her head rested back against the door. “I had started walking home and you followed me out. That damn sidewalk was rough as hell. I was walking on my tip toes. It was easy for you to catch up to me.” She smirked, “you offered me a piggy back ride to take me back to my dorm. You literally refused to let me keep walking and I wound up passing out on your back.” She smiled, “You took care of me though. You always did.”

“It is just a job though and you really don’t need to explain yourself Maggie.” Charlie said softly as he looked towards her. “As long as you are consenting then it shouldn’t matter to anybody what you are doing for your job.” He added before frowning. The thought of losing Maggie once she had come back into his life. She was the only one that he had told when he was younger about what he had been going through and he thought maybe back then they could have been something but then they lost contact and that was that. “What? No you don’t have to go anywhere. Please..I just got you back. I don’t want to lose you again. Not over this.” He said as he looked towards her.

Charlie tilted his head to the side slightly, looking towards Maggie. “Maybe it is but what’s going to stop us? I mean there is nothing to stop us besides ourselves.” He said softly before kissing her back when she had pressed a kiss to his lips once more. He moved a hand to rest gently on her shoulder and the other resting behind her head, staring at her as if trying to pass the message on that whatever was about to happen was okay with him, that he was giving her permission, grateful that she had even hesitated a bit. It wasn’t that he knew she hesitated for that reason but somewhere deep down, he knew. He let his breath even out a bit before drawing her in for another kiss, hands moving to the sides of her face.

She loved that he saw it that way, she had at first until she got noticed and thought about how he would react and how Clarissa would react. She couldn’t stand the thought of them thinking less of her, especially Charlie. She just didn’t want to struggle. She saw a way to make money and took it and she had done good with a solid fandom, that may have been out the window though with Charlie busting in like he did, but she didn’t care. Not with him look at her like this, kissing her like he had, and holding her. She had thought about these kinds of moments with him so many times that it being real was almost unbearable to believe and she shivered in his touch. 

Her robe slipping down her shoulders and hanging loosely on her arms, the tops of her breast just barely visible, she searched Charlie’s eyes for a minute before her blues landed on his lips causing her to lick hers to taste him still there. “Touch me, Charlie.” Her brows relaxing before she carefully swung herself into his lap. Her hands at the back of his neck nails gently scratching at his scalp. “I’ve thought about this so many times... I just never wanted to act on it before... Please,” She said gently grabbing one of his hands and pulling it from her face, slowly moving it down the space that had opened up in the front of her robe. Barely trailing his fingers between her breast, shivering at the lightning the simple touch sent through her skin to her aching cunt. Their hands stopping just before she got there, linking their fingers as she looked in his eyes, “I wanna know if you’re better than what I imagined all those times I thought about you being with me.” She said leaning into the hand still on her face and pressing a kiss to the heel of his palm. She wanted this to be slow and passionate but a part of her wanted Charlie to do whatever the hell he wanted to her and make it where she couldn’t leave the bed.

Maybe he would stay with her after that? Maybe this was the start of something she had wanted for so long with him but never thought she deserved.
