Two Lovers – For Charlie

Chapter 1: I saw her face and I knew she was the one

My Name is Dib. Dib membrane, but surnames don’t matter much. My life sucks. Well, I think it does anyway, worse than some peoples. I’m involved in the paranormal. I like it, it’s my hobby. Maybe I like it too much. Everyone calls me a freak and a weirdo. I don’t really have any friends. I hang out with my sister Gaz, who doesn’t have any friends and a Goth.
Anyway, I was in skool on a Monday morning. It was just any ordinary Monday morning. I hadn’t got much sleep so I was pretty tired, and I hadn’t done much concentrating. Ms. Bitters was lecturing us about something I wasn’t listening to. Suddenly I heard the door open. I looked up at a girl standing in the hallway. I’d never seen her before, but I couldn’t help but stare. She had long blonde hair that ran straight over her shoulders. She had beautiful blue eyes that dazzled like sapphires.
“Class, this is our newest addition to our skool. Her name is Charlie. Charlie, you can sit there.” Ms. Bitters growled, pointing at a free table behind me. Charlie strolled over to me. Well, not to me, But she was walking towards me. She passed by my desk, and I felt a queasiness in my stomach. She dropped a pen as she passed. I picked it up. It was black with the words ‘Iron Maiden’ in metallic silver. I looked at how shiny and nice it was. I turned around just as she was sitting down.
“Y-you dropped this” I said holding out the pen. I realized I was blushing.
“Oh, thanks” She said sweetly, taking the pen from my trembling hands. “I love this pen. I would be devastated if I lost it” I tried to think of something to say.
“I love Iron Maiden too” wait. No I don’t. I’ve never heard any of their songs. Man I do stupid things when I’m blinded by love. What an Idiot you are, Dib.
“I love the song ‘Bring your daughter to the slaughter’. It kicks ass” She said. Whoa. She’s not exactly goody-goody all sweet ‘n’ no sour is she? I suddenly realized I’d ended myself in hot water.
“I’ve never heard that one before” I said foolishly. She looked at me wide eyed.
“Dib, you don’t have to lie to impress me” She said. She leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I nearly had a heart attack. There wasn’t any point in arguing.
“Do you have a crush on me?” She asked. I opened my mouth to speak. “Cause if you do we can go to the movies later and see something. Mission impossible III? That looks good.”
“Uhh, yeah sure.” I said
“It’s a date” She said, and looked down taking notes on what Ms Bitters was saying. I turned back around and smiled lovingly. Wow. I had butterflies. Love is so wonderful!

Chapter 2: The Movies

I was waiting nervously outside the movie theatre. I was hoping I wasn’t too dressed up, or not dressed up enough. I hadn’t changed form the clothes I usually wore. A car pulled up by the side of the road and Charlie jumped out. I waved at her, trying to hide a bunch of poppies behind my back. She walked over to me and smiled.
“Hey” She said. She was wearing a black tracksuit and a black and white striped top. Her hair was brushed very neatly so it was much smoother and shinier.
“Hi” I said. I held out the flowers. “These are for you” She smiled and took the poppies from my hand. She brushed them and smelled them.
“Mmm, they’re gorgeous. And they smell divine” She said sweetly.
“Shall we go inside?” I asked. She nodded and we walked up to the ticket booth. There was a short line in front of us.
“Hey, Erica!” Charlie shouted. A girl further up the line turned around. She had short chestnut hair that was quite frizzy. She wore glasses over top of her brown eyes.
“Charlie!” She cried and ran up to us. She eyed me up and down.
“Oh, Erica, this is Dib. We’re here on our first date.” Charlie said. I waved at Erica. She smiled back.
“Nice to meet you Dib. I’m here on a date too. But not a first. We’re seeing Mission Impossible III.” She said. She seemed like a nice girl.
“Who’re you here with?” Charlie asked. Erica pointed up the crowd and called to someone. He walked up to us. He was wearing an orange jacket and smart green trousers. His hair was hidden by his green Ushanka, a winter hat with flaps on the side.
“This is my boyfriend, Kyle” She said. Charlie recognized him too.
“Hi. I am here with Erica on a date, because I love her more than anything.” Erica cringed slightly. Then blushed. Kyle noticed and hugged her. They kissed. On the lips. It was amazing, watching them make out like that. Charliee seemed shocked too. They stopped kissing and walked up to the booth, as they were next in line.
“Two tickets for Mission Impossible II” Erica said.
“That’ll be £3.00 please” Erica fumbled in her pocket and pulled out some money. She handed it to the ticket-guy and he passed her some tickets. The two of them walked off.
“See you inside. Don’t worry, we’ll sit far away so that we don’t get in the way of you’re ‘moment’.” Kyle said. Erica giggled slightly, and the two of them hand in hand walked off to get snacks. I walked up to the booth and got two tickets too. We went up to the snack bar and bought some pop-corn. We went inside and sat at the back. Mainly so that if we started kissing, no one else would have to suffer. Kyle and Erica were visible in the back row too, but on the other side of the theatre. Erica was feeding Kyle pop-corn and he was feeding her marshmallows and jelly-babies. They giggled and started smooching. I felt sick and looked away. The film started. Me and Charlie watched it admiration, eating pop-corn from the box on my lap. Occasionally, Charlie glanced over to Kyle and Erica. I tried not to look, but one time I heard Charlotte gasp. I looked over. Eww. That was gross. Zim and Erica weren’t just kissing, or hugging. Oh no. they were - I’ll stop there, it’s too disgusting.
Approximately 10 minutes later, Charlie leaned her head on my shoulder. I felt my pulse rush. I put my arm around her, and she didn’t seem to mind.
Eventually about 2 hours later the film finished. We stayed till everyone had left. Then we walked out hand-in-hand. I knew instantly this was gonna be a firm relationship. Like Erica’s and Kyle’s. Or Beth and Keef’s. Even Tak and Cameron. All were very strong. We walked outside. Charlie hugged me. I hugged her back.
“Dib, I had a wonderful time. Maybe we can meet up again sometime?” She asked
“I’d love to, Charlie. We’ll arrange it later” I said stupidly. She waved as her car pulled up. I thought for a second. I wasn’t much of a romantic. And I wasn’t a genius at impressing girls. There was really only one option: Talk to a girl who knew her stuff. I watched as Kyle and Erica walked down the road giggling. Of course!

Chapter 3: Dating Advice

I’d spent all day tracking Erica down. It was Saturday, and I didn’t have anything planned. I’d seen Cameron and Tak down the high street shopping. Cameron told me where to find her. I’d gone to a nice apartment 10 minutes away. Tash, Ella, and Beth were home. They told me she’d left to go see Kyle. I sighed and walked off. I plucked up the courage, and went to Kyle’s house. That’s where I was now. I knocked on the door, and a woman, assumingly Kyle’s mom answered the door.
“Hello young man, what can I help you with?” She asked politely
“Uh, I was looking for Erica. Is she in here with Kyle?” I asked sheepishly
“You mean Kyle’s girlfriend? Sorry, they just left”
“Do you know where I could find them?”
“Uh-huh, here’s the address” She said, handing me a piece of paper with an address scribbled down.
“Thanks” I said, and waved her off. I trekked another 10 minutes, and reached a large house. I heard loud music blasting, laughing and bright, colourful lights flashing through the window. I walked up to the door and knocked. There was a few seconds before someone answered. A girl opened the door. She had long black hair that ran down to her elbows. She was wearing a short denim-skirt and a white top. She looked at me quizzically.
“Hey, do you have an invitation?” She asked me. I racked my brain for an excuse, but I heard a loud smash. She gasped and ran back inside. I slipped in the door and looked inside. There was a huge stereo and a group of kids dancing. Among them were Danni, Jamie, Gaz, Tak, Cameron, Cartman, Stan, Kenny, Erica and Kyle. I ran over to Erica. She looked at me.
“Hey, Dib right?” She said. I nodded. She was wearing a long pink gypsy skirt and a white top with a horse on it. Her hair was very scruffy, probably from dancing so much. She had no shoes on, just bare feet. She looked kinda out of it and dazed. Kyle waltzed up to us with a bottle of beer in his hand. His hat was skew-wiff of his head, and red curls were hanging out. He waved at me. I guess he was drunk.
“Dib!” He slurred. Erica blushed slightly.
“Sorry, Kyle’s had one beer too many. I’m ok though.” She giggled. I laughed too.
“So, Erica. I was wondering, you and Kyle, are you…” I ended it off for her to finish.
“Hell yeah!” Kyle said and pulled Erica close, and kissed her hardly on the lips. She closed her eyes in delight. Kyle broke off and ran back into a huge crowd of people. Erica laughed awkwardly.
“Yes, we have a proper relationship” she said, smiling. “Why do you ask?” I gulped.
“Well, see, I love Charlie, and I’m pretty sure she loves me back. But I don’t know how to impress a girl. I was wondering if you could help me” She just stared at me.
“Sure Dib” I was shocked she replied without hesitation.
“Wow, really? Thanks” I said. “But how will you do it?” Big mistake. She grinned.
“SPIN THE BOTTLE IN THE LIVING ROOM!!!” she yelled. My jaw dropped. Oh no. Please no. Immediately everyone screamed and ran into a different room, I assumed was the living room. She grabbed my arm and pulled me after her as she followed the roaring crowd. Everyone sat around the table. Some people sat on couches and chairs. Only a few chose to play. She pulled me over to the table and sat down. I sat next to her. She grabbed a bottle and placed it in the centre. Among the crowd of people playing were Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Mole, Gregory, Tweek, Butters, Bebe, Wendy, Craig, Kim, Ron, Cameron, Tak, Danni, and Jamie. Gaz hesitantly sat down too. Erica span the bottle and it landed on Tweek. She smiled awkwardly and I gulped.
“Oh my God, I should’ve never agreed to this! Argh! I can’t take the pressure!” He shrieked
“This is how it’s done” She said before leaning in and kissing Ron on the lips. A few seconds later they broke contact. Erica wiped her mouth and looked at me.
“Whoa” I commented, amazed at her passion. She ginned.
“Thanks” She said.
“My turn” Tak said, grabbing the bottle. She crossed her fingers in hope and span the bottle. It landed on Spud.
“Ah right!” Spud said and leaned in. Tak pulled a face but quickly pecked his lips. Cameron looked horrified, but knew it was only chance so he let it go. Wendy span the bottle, and it landed on Bebe.
“Oh, no, no way!” Wendy protested
“Yeah, I’m not kissing my best friend!” Bebe cried
“C’mon you fags, we all agreed to kiss whoever the bottle told us to. You made the oath too!” Cartman said
“Yeah, just kiss!” Kenny said, his voice muffled by his hood
Both girls blushed like hell, but quickly kissed. Jamie span it too, and ended up kissing Cameron. They leaned in and kissed, which only lasted a few seconds, but it was longer than the previous lesbian kiss. That said something about Jamie and Cameron. Kim kissed Stan, Jamie kissed Kenny, making him take off his hood, Danni kissed Butters, and Gaz hesitantly kissed Craig. Many other people smooched, except me. Erica (out of luck) kissed Kyle. They weren’t kissing, it was snogging. I gasped in horror. Eventually they broke contact. Erica blushed and smiled at me. A girl reached forward and span the bottle. I couldn’t see who she was. It passed Gaz, Danni, Jamie, Zim, Erica and me. It stopped on me. She leaned forward and I saw her and who she was.
“Charlie?” I gasped. She gasped
“Dib?” She exclaimed. I felt my heart beating.
“This is your test” Erica whispered in my ear. I gulped
“Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss!” Craig chanted, and soon everyone was demanding we kissed.
We locked lips. Erica smiled, and signaled for more passion. I closed my eyes in delight. Oh, what a kiss. We broke contact and some people hooted. Charlie grinned, and Erica nudged me.
“You don’t need any romance help Dib, that kiss was on fire” She said. I smiled, and she winked back at me.

Chapter 4: Intermediate Romance

I decided to stay for the party, even though I had planned to stay up stargazing. There were many other millenniums that also had comet Halo fly close to Earth. After a while of spin the bottle, and kissing many girls (and Mole) I got bored and hung round the buffet table with Charlie. She was eating piece after piece of candy. I couldn’t blame her, the candy was delicious! Suddenly, I heard gasps and cries of amazement from the living room, followed by a pissed-off Erica stalking out and coming towards us. Charlie swallowed a marshmallow and looked quizzically at her.
“You ok?” She asked her.
“Not really” She replied. That second Kyle ran out the room.
“ERICA! WAIT! I SAID I WAS SORRY!” He yelled after her
“Pff, get lost!” Erica shouted angrily back “You kissed her with passion, and wanted to kiss her! You couldn’t wait to kiss her, and when you did you loved it! Don’t lie to me Kyle, you enjoyed it!” She had tears in her eyes now. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept quiet.
“Erica, I’m sorry, I love you!” He said back, walking over and grabbing Erica’s arms. He pulled her close and kissed her on her lips.
“How could I betray the perfect girl?” He said. Erica smiled. And they kissed again. Suddenly, the music theme changed. It became soft and smooth, and the ‘Kiss Me’ song began to play. After about a minute, many pairs had formed in the center of the room. Among these pairs were Stan and Wendy, Erica and Kyle, Tak and Cameron, Keef and Beth, Kim and Ron, and many other young couples. I felt a hand take mine. Charlie smiled at me and led me into the dance floor. We put our arms round each others waists and danced to the soft song. Charlie looked at me with those dazzling blue eyes. They shimmered like stars.

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me

“So kiss me” Charlie whispered
We leaned forwards and kissed, just like the song had said. It was such an amazing kiss. Her lips pressed against mine, and I knew more than before that this was gonna be very, very, VERY firm and successful.
I love her!!! Streamed across my mind, and I couldn’t help but to gaze into her blue eyes.

Chapter 5: The Final Countdown

I looked down the aisle, and saw her walking gracefully along the red carpet. She was wearing a beautiful white dress with her veil pulled in front of her face and flowed over her hair and shoulders. She carried a bunch of red roses and was wearing dainty white stilettos. I was wearing a neat black tuxedo with a red bow tie. She stood next to me. Behind me stood my Best Man, Clyde. Recently, he’s been very nice to me, ever since we were paired up for our Biology project, and he stayed loyal for all the years that followed. Behind Charlie stood her Bride’s Maid, Erica, who was wearing a beautiful pink satin dress with white roses embroidered up it. Me and Charlie turned and the vicar stood in front of us. He began to read:
“Do you, Dib, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, through illness and hardship, through bad times and good, and through life and death?” He said. I smiled.
“I do” I said.
“And do you, Charlie, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, illness and hardship, through bad times and good, and through life and death?”
“I do” She said.
“By the power invested in me, I pronounce this couple husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.” She leapt into my arms and we kissed. Clyde and Erica bother cheered and clapped. I heard whistles from the audience. Among the guests were some of my old school friends and Charlie’s old school friends. Tash was there, and Keef and Beth. Tak and Cameron were there too and Jamie, Danni and Gaz. There were also relatives and family members. It was the perfect day. Me and Charlie, together forever. We all posed and someone took a snapshot. Me and Charlotte were at the front kissing, next to Charlotte was Erica and Kyle. Erica was posing a peace sign. Jamie was laughing and Beth and Keef were smiling. Tash was standing next to Dib and was waving. Cameron was waving both arms in the air, while Tak held up a ‘thumbs up’ gesture. Danni was beaming and trying to suppress laughter. Gaz was next to Jamie and looking totally not interested, having her arms folded. It was a happy memory I’d remember my whole life, until I died with Charlie by my side.

“Pff, get lost!” Erica shouted angrily back “You kissed her with passion, and wanted to kiss her! You couldn’t wait to kiss her, and when you did you loved it! Don’t lie to me Kyle, you enjoyed it!” She had tears in her eyes now. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept quiet.
“Erica, I’m sorry, I love you!” He said back, walking over and grabbing Erica’s arms. He pulled her close and kissed her on her lips.
“How could I betray the perfect girl?” He said. Erica smiled. And they kissed again. Suddenly, the music theme changed. It became soft and smooth, and the ‘Kiss Me’ song began to play. After about a minute, many pairs had formed in the center of the room. Among these pairs were Stan and Wendy, Erica and Kyle, Tak and Cameron, Keef and Beth, Kim and Ron, and many other young couples. I felt a hand take mine. Charlie smiled at me and led me into the dance floor. We put our arms round each others waists and danced to the soft song. Charlie looked at me with those dazzling blue eyes. They shimmered like stars.

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me

“So kiss me” Charlie whispered
We leaned forwards and kissed, just like the song had said. It was such an amazing kiss. Her lips pressed against mine, and I knew more than before that this was gonna be very, very, VERY firm and successful.
I love her!!! Streamed across my mind, and I couldn’t help but to gaze into her blue eyes.

Chapter 5: The Final Countdown

I looked down the aisle, and saw her walking gracefully along the red carpet. She was wearing a beautiful white dress with her veil pulled in front of her face and flowed over her hair and shoulders. She carried a bunch of red roses and was wearing dainty white stilettos. I was wearing a neat black tuxedo with a red bow tie. She stood next to me. Behind me stood my Best Man, Clyde. Recently, he’s been very nice to me, ever since we were paired up for our Biology project, and he stayed loyal for all the years that followed. Behind Charlie stood her Bride’s Maid, Erica, who was wearing a beautiful pink satin dress with white roses embroidered up it. Me and Charlie turned and the vicar stood in front of us. He began to read:
“Do you, Dib, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, through illness and hardship, through bad times and good, and through life and death?” He said. I smiled.
“I do” I said.
“And do you, Charlie, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, illness and hardship, through bad times and good, and through life and death?”
“I do” She said.
“By the power invested in me, I pronounce this couple husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.” She leapt into my arms and we kissed. Clyde and Erica bother cheered and clapped. I heard whistles from the audience. Among the guests were some of my old school friends and Charlie’s old school friends. Tash was there, and Keef and Beth. Tak and Cameron were there too and Jamie, Danni and Gaz. There were also relatives and family members. It was the perfect day. Me and Charlie, together forever. We all posed and someone took a snapshot. Me and Charlotte were at the front kissing, next to Charlotte was Erica and Kyle. Erica was posing a peace sign. Jamie was laughing and Beth and Keef were smiling. Tash was standing next to Dib and was waving. Cameron was waving both arms in the air, while Tak held up a ‘thumbs up’ gesture. Danni was beaming and trying to suppress laughter. Gaz was next to Jamie and looking totally not interested, having her arms folded. It was a happy memory I’d remember my whole life, until I died with Charlie by my side.
