Taking Chances

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter Fourteen

Elise's POV

Charlie was taking a bath so I took the time to make sandwiches and hot cocoa. I put the sandwiches and mugs hot cocoa on the table and turned on the TV, just to get my mind off of those things

Anyway, a few minutes later, I heard Charlie walked in

“Hey, you made hot cocoa” Charlie said as she stood by the sofa bed

“Yes, I did” I replied, still looking at the TV “You should try it, it’s delicious!”

I then took a mug and carefully handed it to her and this is the moment where I should have prepared myself because when I saw Charlie in her sleeveless shirt and her short shorts, the way her shirt covers her body, her perfectly muscled arms and her toned legs, I felt aroused and the desire to touch her grew stronger

Charlie then took the mug, and as she did, the tip of her finger touch my hand and it sent shivers all throughout my body

“Hey, you okay Elise?” Charlie asked with a worried expression

“Yeah” I answered and shook my head a bit, “just sleepy…”

“You should go to sleep then”

“No, I’ll stay maybe an hour or so and besides the big bang theory is on”

 Charlie smiled and sat next to me and we watched the show, all the while I kept glancing at her. I couldn’t help it, it’s like there’s a magnet that pulling my eyes to Charlie

Then Charlie saw me and smiled, “want some marshmallows? It would make the cocoa taste yummier”

“Um..yeah, that’d be great..” I stuttered and looked at the TV

Charlie then stood and went to the kitchen to get marshmallows. And I finally had time to breathe. I don’t know how long I can restrain myself. I really need to find a way to tire myself out so I could fall asleep sooner

Charlie’s POV

I quickly went and sat on the chair. Finally I can breathe. Just being in Elise’s presence makes me want her even more, and I’m slowly losing the ability to restrain myself. I need to find a distraction of some sort, maybe I could bring down my Nintendo wii and we could play tennis, yeah, that’ll work

I quickly stood and took out the pack of marshmallow on the fridge. I was heading back to the living room when I heard soft music. I then saw Elise prancing and dancing elegantly around the room.

I smiled and placed the pack of my marshmallow on the table, “What are you doing?” I asked with a small smile

“Ballet!” Elise answered as she continued to dance around the room “I suddenlyy felt like I want to dance!”

“Yeah, I can see that” I replied with a smirk “I’ll just be sitting here then”

I was about to sit down when Elise held my wrist, “oh no you’re not, you said you wanted to learn right? So you’re going to dance with me”

“Do you want your toes to be bruised or what? ‘cause I have the capacity to do that whilst dancing

Elise giggled “I wouldn’t worry about my toes, I can handle a little pain” and she pulled me to the center of the room

“Ok, don’t say I didn’t warn yah and no, it’s not a little pain, trust me, my dance partner shrieked in pain when we first started to dance”
