My L490 - Part 1

Chapter 21 - The Date (Part 2)

I figured I should go back to the pier and try find a cab, as I got closer to the parking lot I saw his bike was still there, I wasn't sure where he was and I hoped I didn't have to see him. I walked into a tiny store and asked the manager about getting a cab. He smiled "Yes sure hunni, you just call this number and tell them you're at my store and where you want to go. Say, your name wouldn't be Charley would it?" I looked at him stunned "Uh, yea why?", "There was a fellow in here earlier asking if I had seen you, he had a photo on his mobile phone, I think he was here about 30 mins ago". I nodded "Thanks" and I walked out, I felt my heart ache for him, to hear his voice, as angry as I was. I looked at my phone and realised I had 15 missed calls, all from the same number, I had 3 voice messages as well. I dialled my voice message service and pressed 1 for the messages to play "Charley, look please just talk to me where are you? We need to talk please, just call me back", I pressed 4 to delete, the next one played "Charley where the hell are you I can't find you, just please call me back", once again I hit 4 to delete it, the last one played "Charley I am not leaving here until I find you, call me back!" I hit delete again.

I walked over to the pier, it was empty and the sun was slowly setting, I breathed in deeply, and I made my decision, I dialled the number and waited.

Liv's point of view

He stood up once he had finished the song and I was literally in heaven "That was amazing!" he smiled and switched on a music player and a song started I didn't recognise, it was a beautiful melody, he held his hand out and pulled me to my feet, he wrapped an arm around me and his phone started ringing, he groaned, "Sorry" pulling his phone out I glanced at the screen, it was his brother, "Hello?" he listened for a bit and replied "Well if you messed up then how am I supposed to fix it?" he was quiet for a little while longer and replied "Bro, you need to fix this, I told you not to mess with fire" and he hung up. He turned back to me "Sorry about that" I frowned at him "What happened?" he shook his head "My brother being a douche, he never listens to me", I turned and walked to my bag taking out my phone, I checked it and no calls or messages from Charley, something was wrong, she wouldn't not message me all day, I felt Jason behind me, his body was so close, I could feel every inch of his body mould to mine, he leaned his head next to mine and his mouth was on my ear, "Don't worry about it, my brother will sort it out" his words sent shivers down my spine and I trembled, he slowly brushed his fingers from my neck down to my shoulder and slowly lightly down my arm, all the way to my wrist, he grabbed hold of my wrist, rough and strong and turned me around, by this stage I was putty in his hands, I stood in front of him completely at his mercy, I looked into those ice blue eyes and I saw a fire burn, I saw a need, he loved being in control, I could see it was his control over me that made him love this, he ran both his hands down my arms and up again, all the way to my neck, he brushed my hair out of my face and he slowly lowered his lips towards mine, but he didn't kiss me, he just lingered there, I could feel his breath, I waited, ached and needed to feel him, I closed my eyes, because I couldn't look into those ice blue eyes anymore, I felt a slight touch on my lower lip and realised he was tracing my lips with the tip of his tongue and my body exploded.

Charley's point of view

I waited as the phone rang, and I heard the deep voice on the other end "OMG Charley, where are you I have been looking everywhere for you!", "I took a walk, what do you want? To embarrass me some more? Or to introduce me to your trash?". I heard him sigh, "Look we need to talk I want to explain, she and I are no longer anything, please I am begging you", "I am at the pier" I said and hung up. About 5 minutes later he came running down the pier, "God, you really know how to give a man a heart attack!" He grabbed me and he held me tight, as he let me go he looked into my eyes, "I told her that I have met someone, and I told her to leave me alone, please I want us to work. I really don't want to lose you! Let me take you... I want to take you home". I searched his eyes, and I could see he was being honest, I could see the broken soul again, and I stood by my decision, the way he looked at me at that moment, I just wanted to let go, I nodded. 

We got on the bike and he sped off back towards the city, I held on tight, and I felt his body move against mine, I closed my eyes and forced myself not to cry, or laugh, or feel, just for little while. 

Liv's point of view

He moved away and said "We better get back, I want to be home when my brother gets there" he turned to put the music off and I felt like screaming, my body was on fire, my lips tingled and I licked them, I could taste him on me. My body was mush, I melted, I picked up my bag and my phone, I couldn't believe the feel of his tongue on my lips, it replayed in my head as we walked back to the car. As we drove off into the evening, he didn't mention the kiss, or non-kiss, he acted so calmly, so normal for someone who had just made my whole body explode, I didn't want to mention it either, I wanted him to be the one to bring it up, even though I knew he wouldn't, I could see beneath this calm sweet exterior there was something more, he loved control, he loved knowing he was the one holding all the cards, and deep down I wanted that, I wanted that dark side to come out. 

We pulled into the driveway an hour later and as we made our way into the house there was no sign of Charley or Shayne. I wondered where they were?
