I swear I can’t keep up. Every time I think I’m getting a grasp on what is going on around me something changes. Now it’s Charlie being pissed off and I have no idea why. I’m sitting on a bench, clasped hands between my knees, looking at the ground. I have no clue what to expect and I realize I’m in a very bad place if something were to go wrong. I have no idea how to get out of Diagon Alley if I need to.
                Charlie is chewing on his bottom lip. It’s incredibly sexy and I wish he would stop. I wonder what it would be like for him to chew on my bottom lip. Ugh, not the time for these thoughts! He finally turns to face me.
                “I’m confused.” he says.
                I let out a wry laugh. “You aren’t the only one.”
                “I want to ask a question, is that ok?” I nod yes and he continues. “Have I done something that would make you afraid to touch me? I know that sounds petty and stupid, but you were touching Draco and you seemed so comfortable with him and it made me wonder what I’ve done that you don’t act that way with me.”
                How do you not answer when a guy opens up like this? I take a deep breath and hold it in for about five seconds and slowly release it.
                “Please Gina. Tell me what I’ve done.”
                “Charlie, you haven’t done anything.” I close my eyes and try to figure out how to explain myself.
                “I leave in three days. I came here to do something for myself. I wanted to see the tourist attractions, get a stamp in my passport and be able to say that I’ve been to England. I had no intention of making friends while I was here. You could have just given me directions when I was lost. That would have been the easiest thing. I would have thought about you anyway. You are the stuff fantasies are made of.” Charlie made a questioning noise in his throat. “I could have created the perfect guy in my mind and given him your body, but no, you have to be chivalrous and offer to walk me back. And you were funny. You had to be incredible on top of it.” I’m rambling now and it’s not stopping. “I offer to buy you a drink. Who does that? I just met you, but I didn’t think I’d ever see you again and honestly I didn’t think you’d accept. Why would you? Now it was a story to tell my friends. Hot guy helps me when I’m lost and walks me back. But you accepted and then you asked me out. I had such a wonderful time and then I was invested. I wanted to get to know you better, I wanted to keep in touch, I didn’t want to get hurt. I leave in three days.” I look at him when I say this. I need him to understand. “I’m going to miss you when I leave. I’m going to miss hearing your laugh, your accent, the way you hold doors open and are old fashioned with your manners, I’m going to miss looking at you. That is going to be painful enough. If I touch you then I will miss the way your arm feels under my hand. Or the way your hand feels in my hand. It’s another memory that will make it harder for me when I leave. I’m being completely selfish and working on self preservation. It has nothing to do with you Charlie, or Draco. Draco’s safe. I could be more me when I was talking to him. I’m naturally a touchy person, I wasn’t trying to protect myself from my feelings when it came to him.” I take a deep breath and look at him again. “Besides, you never tried to touch me either. I don’t understand what the problem is.” I mumble this last part, like a child.
                He sat there for a minute without talking. I’m pretty sure that I’ve scared him off, but he asked. If he didn’t want the truth he shouldn’t have asked. Life’s too short to play games. It will be better in the long run if I did scare him off.
                He turned his whole body so that he was facing me and opened his mouth to speak and then closed it without saying anything. Suddenly his hands are on my cheeks, holding my face so that I couldn’t turn away from him. A little thrill went down my spine as I held eye contact with him. He leans in and kisses me. Soft, gentle, sweet. Nothing sexual, but it was certainly sensual. My stomach flip flops and just his lips on mine caused my body to tingle, everywhere. He pulled back but kept his hands on my face. I was breathing hard as we looked into each other’s eyes.
                “I’ve wanted to do that since we went out to dinner.” he whispered. “I didn’t want to be forward, I was waiting for a sign from you that it would have been ok.” He takes his hands from my face and reaches down to take both of my hands in his. “I understand what you are saying and I am going to miss you too, but I want to miss the feel of your hand in mine and the feel of your lips on mine. I want to miss it, because it will be something for me to look forward to for when I see you again. I have ways that we can see each other without it costing money. That’s the main reason I told you about magic. I wanted to be honest with you but I also wanted you to know, that if you wanted to, we could see each other.”
                We sat like that for about a minute, facing each other and holding hands. I was trying to memorize the feel of his calloused hands in mine, the way he ran his thumb in circles over the back of my hand, the shiver that ran through my body. The whole time wondering if I’m making a mistake.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                We walked back to the store , hand in hand, and happened to notice three faces watching from the front window. I grinned at the guys and waved. They all waved, in an overly enthusiastic way. I glanced at Charlie and he was looking down in what appeared to be an attempt to hide a smile.
                We walked in and wove our way through the crowd of people toward the boys. Draco gave me a wink as we got nearer and I tried to keep from grinning like an idiot.
                “So,” said George clapping his hands together once, “it’s about time for my lunch break. I was just talking with Harry and Draco and we decided to nip over to the Leaky Cauldron for a bite to eat. Care to join us?”
                I looked at my watch and was surprised to see it was almost noon. I looked at Charlie, “I didn’t eat much this morning, I am getting a little hungry.”
                “Sure, we can go.”
                Fifteen minutes later the five of us were walking back through Diagon Alley, to the brick wall that magically rearranged itself to create and arch and back into the courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron. I was still amazed at everything I passed.
                I sat between Draco and Charlie with George across from me and Harry across from Draco. Tom the bartender was still working and came over to take our order. The guys were very animated in a discussion of Quidditch, which I learned was a wizard sport on brooms. I’m not much of a sports person but even I would like to see that. I was sitting back, just listening with my hands resting on my lap. Charlie gently took my hand and held it under the table. There is that stupid grin again. I bit my bottom lip to keep it under control. I enjoyed listening to them talk. They were so comfortable with each other and were willing to explain anything I didn’t understand. It was nice but depressing at the same time. As I kept pointing out to Charlie, I was leaving in three days.
                “Hey.” I said suddenly. Everyone stopped and looked at me. “Would it be ok if I took your picture? I’d like to have it to remember you all but I can also brag to my friends that I had lunch with 4 of the hottest guys I’ve ever met.” Harry’s and Draco’s eyes met and they grinned at each other. George slapped his hand on the table and said, “I KNEW you fancied me!”
                “Just get together.” I said with a laugh. Draco and Charlie stood behind Harry and George. They really are very beautiful people I thought. I took a couple of pictures when George said I needed to be in on so that my friends knew I really had lunch with them.
                “Who is going to take the picture? Anyone in here know anything about muggle cameras?” George looked around and spotted another store owner a few tables away. He agreed and after I explained how to use the camera he took multiple pictures for me. I couldn’t wait to get my film developed!
                After everyone was seated again, Tom brought out our food. While we ate the conversation turned to me. They asked questions about my job, the United States, how I was liking my visit, Charlie even brought up fuzzy hats again. I slapped him in the arm and he grinned at me. At one time Charlie put his arm around me, as he did his fingers brushed the back of my neck and my breath caught in my throat and it felt like fire spread through me. His arm was draped across my shoulders and he leaned in toward me a little to bring us closer. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat due to the sudden arousal I felt. At this rate I was going to have to develop a very intimate relationship with the detachable, choose your own water pressure shower head at my hotel.
                As George, Harry, and Draco were talking about something, I had lost track as my own mind was wandering to highly inappropriate things, Charlie leaned close.
                “Do you still want to have tea today? We’ve spent the entire day together and I was thinking that you may want out of it.” He whispered this in my ear and I had a hard time paying attention due to the feel of his breath on my ear and neck. Another shiver of arousal ran through my body, I was going to have to go back to the hotel and change at this rate!
                “If you aren’t sick of me yet, then yes. I’d like to.” I noticed I was a bit breathy and hoped he didn’t notice.
                He smiled the sweetest smile at me. Without looking away he said “George, I need you to tell mum I’m not coming to dinner tonight.”
                “Not bloody likely! She’ll have my head!”
                Charlie looked at George, “Fine I’ll send her a note. You can deliver it.”
                “Send it by owl. I don’t think she’ll kill one of them.”
                “I’ll take it. Draco and I will be there.” Harry said.
                “Thank you, Harry.”
                “Uh, I won’t keep you from family Charlie. I think you should go.” I told him.
                “Three days Gina. I’m here for another week before I go to back to Romania, I can see them all during that time.”
                Charlie got up to ask Tom for some paper, or parchment as he called it. He wrote a note to his mom and rolled it up as he walked back to our table. He pulled out his wand, lord that sounds dirty in my mind, and tapped the paper. He handed it to Harry and thanked him again.
                “Well I need to get back to work.” George said has he stood. “Harry, Draco, I’ll see you tonight. Charlie, mate, I hope I see you again. Mum is going to have a fit. Gina, it was very nice to meet you. Good luck and enjoy that photo of me.” he winked as turned to leave through the back.
                “We hadn’t planned on staying this long, so we need to get going too.” Harry said. “It really was nice to meet you Gina. Take care and be careful.”
                “Thanks, you too.” I said as we shook hands. He turned to Charlie. “See you soon mate, good luck.”
                Charlie smiled, “Thanks.”
                I was saying good bye to Draco and thanking him for talking with me today. “Ah, Draco?” Charlie addresses him but is clearly uncomfortable. “I wanted to apologize for being an arse earlier. I shouldn’t have said what I said.” He held his hand out to Draco who looked down his nose at the proffered hand. Harry elbows him and Draco finally shakes. “Just don’t screw it up Weasley.”
                “I’m really hoping I don’t.”
Draco nods. They say bye one more time and head out the back of the building.
                I turned back to Charlie, “So? Now what?”
                “Well, I was wondering if you would let me teach you a little more about magic and what I do.”
                “What would that entail? I think the idea of dragons is really cool, but I really don’t want to meet one.”
                He laughed, “No, I wouldn’t do that, but I was going to bring some books to you. Would that be ok?”
                “Books seem harmless.”
                “Well, the books I’d bring are harmless. There are some books out there that can hurt you.” I laugh and he shakes his head. “I’m serious, there are some dangerous books. Ron and Harry had to get a book one year that would bite you, but I promise that these won’t hurt.”
                “If you promise.”
                “I promise.” He puts his hand out and I take it. We walk out the front of the Leaky Cauldron and head back to my hotel. “I was thinking, if you are ok with it, that we could talk in your room. That way we’d be away from others and we could talk freely.”
                “Ah, yeah. That would be fine.” Dear god, Charlie in my room. I only have a bed to sit on. I’ve got to keep it together.
                “I was hoping to apparate out of your room to collect what I want to bring back. I’d be gone for about 15 minutes and then I’d apparate back in. Would that be ok?”
                “That’s fine.” I say as we get to my hotel and go through the front doors.
                He follows me upstairs and into the room. He seems slightly more comfortable than he did the last time he was in here.
                “Right then, I’ll be right back.” He takes a hesitant step towards me and then gently kisses me on the lips again. He pulls back, smiles, turns and disappears.
                “OH SHIT!” I throw myself on my bed and lay there for a moment staring at the ceiling. What in the hell am I doing? I should put an end to this, but I really don’t want to. I touch my lips and smile. Then I jump up, I need to freshen up before he gets here. He has literally turned me into a puddle of goo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie’s POV
                I smile as I turn to apparate, I saw that Gina still had the daisy on her night stand. How has this even turned out so well? I was a complete wanker for a while there. I had no control over myself. Actually, the longer I’m around her the less control I seem to have. I say stupid things and have to fight myself not to touch her more. I’m in Fred and George’s old room at mum and dad’s. I have to be quiet since I’m not coming to dinner. I grab a couple of books that may help ease her into thinking about magic. I also grab a couple of wizarding magazines and a few family photos. I sit for about five minutes to collect myself before I go back, but I can’t keep from grinning as I think about kissing her.
