backdated to June 16 (2044) Chuck Standard Time.
MontanaBoyLWM (1:31:30 AM): *taps on the door, chocolate cake in hand* Chuck?
Charlene Worth (1:32:29 AM): No. *is still trying to type at Val while crying*
MontanaBoyLWM (1:35:49 AM): *slight sigh* Chuck, I know I screwed up majorly, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry I did a stupid thing without thinking first, and I'm sorry as I can possibly be that I hurt your feelings. But I can't just leave you crying by yourself. I can't. *tries door to see if it's locked*
Charlene Worth (1:37:59 AM): *it's not locked, she hadn't been angry when she went into the room to check her email and things in the first place* If you think I'm going to hit you or something you can go fuck yourself. *which really doesn't sound so threatening when coming from a tearful little girl pounding on her keyboard*
MontanaBoyLWM (1:40:08 AM): *opens the door* No, I don't. That was another stupid thing for which I apologize. *sets the cake down on the nightstand* I'm sorry.
Charlene Worth (1:40:43 AM): *sets her laptop aside and looks up at him, her small jaw set*
MontanaBoyLWM (1:42:21 AM): *all he can do is keep trying* It was a dumb, thoughtless thing to do, and it will never happen again.
Charlene Worth (1:45:24 AM): You made me feel like I wasn't good enough for you. And then you wanted me to hit you? Liam, you don't hit people when you're mad at them. Do you even know what that feels like? I do. I do. *more tears that she doesn't bother to wipe away* I don't want you to be hurt like that. Don't you dare try to make me do the things they do to me. *'they' being her stepbrothers* Do you want to hit me?
MontanaBoyLWM (1:45:47 AM): *quietly* Never.
Charlene Worth (1:47:01 AM): I'm not done being mad at you. *now she does wipe at her face with her hands*
MontanaBoyLWM (1:50:16 AM): Liam: *nods his understanding of that, hesitates before continuing* But Pixie? Don't ever think you're not good enough for me. You're one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and that's the truth. *There's a tell-tale shimmer in his eyes*
Charlene Worth (1:53:16 AM): Chuck: *doesn't want to think about what she sees in his eyes, it just makes her recall the icon he used to post that meme in the first place. The one with his eyes looking so blue.* Why do you have cake? *so very clearly confused by this considering the upset between them*
MontanaBoyLWM (1:56:35 AM): A peace offering? *he's looking at the floor now* Val suggested I bring food, and at this point I'm willing to try anything if it'll help you feel better.
Charlene Worth (1:58:10 AM): *Val...who has blinking messages on her laptop right now.* I don't eat when I'm upset. I'm not Marcus.
MontanaBoyLWM (2:00:55 AM): *great, screwed up again* Yeah, well ... I didn't know what else to do. I'm sorry.
Charlene Worth (2:01:49 AM): More for you. *he's starting to make her feel like an ungrateful brat and she doesn't like it*
MontanaBoyLWM (2:04:46 AM): I'm not exactly hungry either right now. *goes to get cake* I'll take it back downstairs.
Charlene Worth (2:05:21 AM): *bites her lip* Liam?
MontanaBoyLWM (2:05:52 AM): *finally meets her eyes again* Yeah?
Charlene Worth (2:07:10 AM): Can I come with you?
MontanaBoyLWM (2:08:08 AM): *blinks rapidly a few times and swallows* Sure. Of course you can.
Charlene Worth (2:09:34 AM): *scoots off the edge of the bed and stands*
MontanaBoyLWM (2:10:02 AM): *hesitates, then offers his hand*
Charlene Worth (2:12:00 AM): *has half a mind to not take it but does, lacing her fingers with his*
MontanaBoyLWM (2:16:27 AM): *walks to the door and rolls his wrist across the knob to open it, not sure what else to say*
Charlene Worth (2:18:36 AM): *waits until they are on the stairs to lean in close and press a kiss to his arm* After you put the cake back, can we go for a walk? *doesn't much care that she's in her night clothes and that her feet are bare, the weather's not bad and she knows no one is outside to see them*
MontanaBoyLWM (2:21:52 AM): *nods* That sounds like a good idea.
Charlene Worth (2:29:10 AM): Okay. *her turn to be momentarily at a loss*
MontanaBoyLWM (2:38:20 AM): *in the kitchen he releases her hand to put the cake away, then looks outside* It's on the cool side, Pixie. Want me to grab your hoodie or a jacket for you?
Charlene Worth (2:39:38 AM): *shrugs, about to tell him no, but thinks better of it* Yes. *after all, his football jersey and a pair of boy shorts really aren't going to keep her warm*
MontanaBoyLWM (2:50:21 AM): *runs upstairs and grabs both their hoodies before coming back down* Here you go.
Charlene Worth (2:52:12 AM): Thank you. *walks toward the door as she pulls the hoodie over her head and then fusses with the hood until it lays the right way.* I look stupid, don't I? *what with the jersey sticking out from under the sweatshirt*
MontanaBoyLWM (2:57:36 AM): *softly* Not to me. *pulls his own hoodie on*
Charlene Worth (2:58:55 AM): *actually manages to smile at him* Come on, pokey...
MontanaBoyLWM (3:00:46 AM): *smiles a little himself and opens the door for her*
Charlene Worth (3:02:56 AM): *steps out and realizes that it won't take long for her bare feet to really get cold, she smiles a little more at this. Thoughts of putting icy toes on Liam's warm body actually shift her mood to something a bit happier* It's so dark and quiet out here...it's never like this at home. Never.
MontanaBoyLWM (3:06:17 AM): No, I guess not. *looks up at the night sky* You don't see stars like that in the city either.
Charlene Worth (3:08:38 AM): *tilts her head back and looks up at the field of constellations* Nope. Too much light in the city to see anything but the moon most the time. Not that I can see that from my room anyway. I have the crappy view of the next building over.
MontanaBoyLWM (3:25:01 AM): Liam: I ... didn't notice. *small smile at his memories of being in Chuck's room*
Charlene Worth (3:25:47 AM): Chuck: *elbows him playfully* Shut up.
MontanaBoyLWM (3:31:55 AM): *that draws out a little chuckle* Well, I had something prettier to look at. *offers his hand again* And something ... someone ... more important to focus on.
Charlene Worth (3:34:07 AM): *takes his hand as she walks down the porch steps and onto the grassy lawn* You just wanted to get me naked. *she was going to make him work for this, not ready to let him off the hook yet*
MontanaBoyLWM (3:37:36 AM): *shakes his head* I wanted a lot more than that, Tiny. *scuffs one foot* Still do.
Charlene Worth (3:40:47 AM): *stops, turns so that she's facing him* You did? *surprise is a mild way to describe the look on her face* I thought you just wanted--then I mean, you just wanted to have sex. Well, after I asked you to...
MontanaBoyLWM (3:46:03 AM): *takes her other hand and looks into her eyes* I wanted to make you smile and laugh and feel good, sugar. I wanted to share something special with you, and I did. *gently squeezes her fingers* I love you.
Charlene Worth (3:47:24 AM): *okay, so she isn't much of a New York hardass after all because that just makes her melt* I love you too. *a pause* Even if you do dumb things. Really dumb things.
MontanaBoyLWM (3:53:58 AM): Yeah ... *voice goes a little rougher* I am sorry. Makes me feel sick to think I made you cry. *scuffs his other foot*
Charlene Worth (4:01:00 AM): *looks down at what he's doing with his feet and frowns* I worry about not being a good girlfriend, Liam. I know you're sorry but it really hurt my feelings. I thought you maybe didn't want me any more or something.
MontanaBoyLWM (4:04:13 AM): Looks like I have more to worry about with being a good boyfriend. *looks down at their hands* You're a wonderful girlfriend.
Charlene Worth (4:08:08 AM): *shakes her head* You always fix everything. Every time something's wrong, you make it better. *pulls her hands free so she can hug him* I have all the problems and you just...why'd you have to be so dumb? *she's mostly talking into his chest now*
MontanaBoyLWM (4:21:51 AM): Not all of them. And I want to make it better. *wraps his arms around her and rests his cheek against her hair* I just thought I'd give Marcus a free shot at trolling me. Hell, even if we weren't a couple, I'd still never hook up with someone I met through some Internet meme, so I wasn't even thinking in those terms. Wasn't thinking much at all, and I apologize for that.
Charlene Worth (4:25:09 AM): I'm sorry too. *steps a little closer, standing with her feet on his* Marcus is a troll. A great big, redheaded troll.
MontanaBoyLWM (4:28:46 AM): *dryly* It's one of his talents. *leans back just far enough to lift the hem of his hoodie up a little and looks at her hopefully*
Charlene Worth (4:32:44 AM): *arches an eyebrow at the offer but accepts and tugs it up far enough that she can slip the hem over her head and share the sweatshirt with him*
MontanaBoyLWM (4:34:16 AM): *snuggles her* I'll try my best to be less dumb. I sure won't be that kind of dumb again, I swear.
Charlene Worth (4:36:28 AM): Don't ever tell me you deserve to be hit again, okay?
MontanaBoyLWM (4:37:30 AM): *softly* I won't.
Charlene Worth (4:38:57 AM): Country Boy *stands on tip toe to kiss his neck*
MontanaBoyLWM (4:41:38 AM): Pixie Girl *slides an arm down to lift her up far enough for a kiss on the lips*
Charlene Worth (4:42:36 AM): *nips his bottom lip and smiles* I'm not so mad any more.
MontanaBoyLWM (4:44:42 AM): I'm glad. *cuddles more* If there's anything else I can do, you just say the word, sugar.
Charlene Worth (4:48:11 AM): Do you think we can maybe...*whispers in his ear even though there's really no need for that* Can we get naked and make each other feel good?
MontanaBoyLWM (4:53:25 AM): *grins and kisses her again* If I can make you feel good first.
Charlene Worth (4:54:23 AM): I'm better than chocolate cake. *and even more kisses*
MontanaBoyLWM (4:57:14 AM): Mmmmmhmmm. *purred against her lips as he starts to wander back to the house*
Charlene Worth (4:59:44 AM): *wraps her legs quite securely around his waist* How *kiss* quiet *kiss* do you *kiss kiss* think *kiss* we have to *kiss* be? *and one more kiss*
MontanaBoyLWM (5:08:16 AM): *holds her snugly* That *kiss* depends *kiss* on whether *kiss* the Spaz *smooooch* is asleep. *nibbles lips*
Charlene Worth (5:09:15 AM): *makes a soft whimpering noise* I hope he's sleeping.
MontanaBoyLWM (5:46:18 AM): *nuzzles her neck and whispers in her ear* I'll be very, very careful if you'll open the doors for me.
Charlene Worth (5:47:44 AM): I will do this thing for you. *turns her head to catch another kiss*
