Lara simply had to determine the way it may occur once more. As a result of she may inform how a lot Charlotte wished this. And whereas Charlotte actually had her reservations, Lara couldn’t miss the uncooked want in her eyes.

The query Lara was going to must wrestle with was what would she be snug with? If Charlotte didn’t desire a public relationship together with her, didn’t need something to do together with her so far as the media was involved, would she settle for a secret affair?

Lara received dressed for mattress, turning that thought over in her thoughts. Proper now? With the sensation of Charlotte’s lips on hers so recent in her thoughts? Sure, undoubtedly.

However when she went again to her earlier ideas of what it might really feel like if she’d slept with Charlotte tonight and within the morning, she’d informed her that this wasn’t occurring once more? Lara felt the hypothetical rejection on the pit of her abdomen proper now.

Lara received into mattress, hoping exhaustion would take over, as a result of her head was a large number proper now.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow would inform her rather a lot about what her possibilities with Charlotte actually have been, and the truth that she was even occupied with that was nonetheless unbelievable.

She’d like to name Hayden proper now. Although she was her consumer, she was nonetheless one in every of her closest mates. Sydney too. However Lara didn’t really feel like she may speak to both of them about this.

Charlotte was out, however Lara didn’t really feel proper about speaking to both of them about Charlotte. Not proper now anyway.

And that meant that Lara needed to make it to tomorrow night on her personal. And work out what she was going to cook dinner. And what she would put on.

Lara closed her eyes, curling up underneath the sheets, her thoughts a jumbled mess, however she ignored all of her worries, focusing as a substitute on the sensation of Charlotte’s lips towards hers, of how mushy they have been, of how a lot ardour had been in these kisses, of the way in which that Charlotte had been the one to provoke it.

As a result of that was the craziest half.

Charlotte shifted the bottle of wine into her different hand, uncharacteristically nervous as she waited for Lara to reply the door, and when she did, Charlotte needed to take a steadying breath.

Lara stood within the doorway wearing whitewash denims, a black prime hanging off one shoulder, her shiny hair falling throughout her shoulders. It was a stark distinction to the white backless costume that she’d worn to Jessica’s occasion, however Charlotte actually couldn’t say which look she most well-liked, and perhaps that shouldn’t have shocked her. Lara had that effortlessly attractive factor going for her.

Charlotte was dressed casually as effectively, going together with her favourite pair of black denims and an olive-colored shirt.

“Hey,” Lara mentioned, her smile heat as she held the door open for her. “Are available.”

“Hello.” Charlotte lifted her arm to hug her identical to she would hug Ada or Sydney or Jerry if she’d been invited to their home, however it wasn’t till she had Lara’s physique pressed towards her personal that she realized this wasn’t the identical, a shiver chasing up her backbone as she tried to not let that feeling of want overwhelm her.

As a lot as she’d informed herself that this was simply dinner, repeating it time and again all through the day, each time she’d been tempted to textual content Lara and cancel, that hug and her physique’s response to it made it clear that this wasn’t merely dinner with a pal, irrespective of how a lot Charlotte wished to be.

If Lara was as affected by it as she was, she didn’t let it on, pulling away with a smile nonetheless on her lips, main her in the direction of the kitchen, the scrumptious scent of Italian meals wafting by the home.

“Thanks,” Lara mentioned as Charlotte handed her the bottle. “This may go excellent with dinner. Seafood linguine okay?”

“Sure. I can’t bear in mind the final time I had it. It smells superb. I didn’t know you might cook dinner.”

“And you continue to got here once I provided to make dinner?” Lara requested as she slid the bottle of wine into the fridge, her lips curving right into a smile.

“Nicely, individuals have totally different definitions of cooking. I’ve seen individuals serve up dinners the place their chef had ninety % of it finished, they usually simply stood on the range stirring a sauce and plating it up, like they’d been within the kitchen for hours.” Charlotte slid onto a bar stool on the breakfast bar. “So, I don’t assume anymore.”

Lara lifted the lid on the pot on the range, giving it a stir earlier than turning down the warmth. “Actually? Who?”

“Oh, I can’t reveal names.”

Lara smiled as she came to visit in the direction of Charlotte, her arms resting on the countertop throughout from the place she was sitting. “I shouldn’t be shocked. I’ve already seen sufficient issues within the final three years that I by no means may have imagined occurring.”

“Like what?”

Lara took a second to consider it. “Physique doubles. I knew about stunt doubles. I feel everybody does. However I used to be on set with Kerri greater than as soon as once I was shocked to see the lead actor stride off set and somebody with a strikingly comparable determine and physique sort are available. Eerily comparable. I do know that’s the purpose, however as a fan, it simply made me surprise what number of scenes I’ve watched the place I feel I’m taking a look at my favourite actor or actress, and it’s not truly them.”

Charlotte nodded. “I’ve used a physique double earlier than. It’s not all the time the scenes with nudity both. I used to be so sick as soon as, I knew I wasn’t going to be again on set for 4 or 5 days, and moderately than watch for me, they shot it from behind, with my again all the time within the shot. Just a little voice-over work and a few gifted enhancing and nobody’s the wiser.”
