Authors Note:The morning after.....


Adams POV.


"Would you do it again?"

Charlie was lay face to face with me, only inches away.

I'd woken to the sensation of being in Charlie's arms. We'd pretty much stayed in the same position the whole night, with Charlie lay up close behind me, his arm around my middle. It was fairly early still, I'd glanced at my watch lying next to me and relaxed when I'd realised it was over an hour before we had to get up.

I'd felt Charlie shift, his hold around me tightening before he relaxed with a sigh. "Morning," he'd said softly. 

"Morning," I'd replied. I'd twisted round to face him and that's when he'd asked me.

"What?"

"Kiss me."

"Charlie...."

"Please."

I stare at him, not quite believing what he's asking me. "Charlie, I don't know....."

He leans over towards me and presses his mouth against mine. It's awkward and fumbling and innocent but at the same time it is the most wonderful thing I have ever felt. His nose is pressed up against mine until he twists round so that we're at an angle. I can't explain how fantastic it feels to have those soft warm lips pressed against mine. I move mine slowly against his and feel his hand come up to rest on my arm, fingers gently clutching at me. As we pull back he stares at me with wide eyes. 

"Wow," he breathes.

"Yeah," I choke out.

"Is this what you couldn't tell me?" he asks softly as we both lay back down. 

I nod, still unsure of what is happening here. I gaze at him, trying to read what he is thinking and feeling and find myself lost. "Are you....?"

"I don't know." He bites his lip. "Are you?"

"I don't know."

There's silence as we both look at each other.

"We don't have to know now, do we?" Charlie reaches for my hand between us and takes it in a gentle grasp. "We can figure it out....together."

"Yeah." I smile. I falter. "But I don't think we should say anything to anybody else."

He bites his lip again. "No. I don't.....I don't think they'd understand."

We both nod slowly together in agreement.

I think I'm still in shock. I still can't believe I'm lay here with Charlie. He kissed me. Kissed me back. He feels the same as I do. I think my brain is about to explode.

I don't think either of us is very sure what is happening here, but it turns out I'm not the only one who is questioning myself. That the other person is Charlie though, is what is blowing my mind. There *is* something there between us and we're *both* feeling it. How incredible is that? 

I don't think this means that we're 'going out' or anything, but there's a connection between us that we're both aware of now. 

And its okay, because we both accept that its there and that its real. 

I don't know where this will take us.

But I have a feeling we'll be in it together.


The End.
