Part 14/ Daddy issues.

Charlie

I have absolutely no idea what time it is.This stupid room they put me in is cold,I'm thirsty and bored since I have been waiting here forever.

Why am I here again? I think I would know If I had committed a crime. I still haven't murdered anyone.

Is having a shitty personality and a lot of issues a crime now?

The door opened and the two detectives who arrested me in the first place walk in, both of them taking a seat across the table.

"Miss Reynolds,I'm detective Wenn. This is detective Ramirez. We were hoping we could chat with you."

"We could have chatted at the club. You didn't have to put me in handcuffs. I serve an amazing cocktail."

"I would suggest you get an attorney because the charges you are facing are quite serious." "I don't even know what I'm being charged with.It's my right to know."

He looks at me for a few seconds before he takes out some files.

"You're being charged with prostitution. We have reason to believe that the club that you work at is actually an underground prostitution ring. That's why we are questioning all the female employees."

"Wait,wait. You think I'm a hooker?!" I scoff in disbelief.

"And Bill? Bill would never do this."

"Do you have any evidence that would tell us otherwise. We're not judging Miss Reynolds. You're a collage student who needed some money and did something wrong..."

"No,no,no! That is not what happened!"

"Really? We asked around,and we were told that you would usually sit down and drink with customers. Maybe one drink after another led to something else? Maybe your boss wanted you for more than just serving drinks. After all,you are a young beautiful woman,why would you-..."

"Detectives..." I interrupt him "I am flattered. But I didn't do anything illegal. I'm just a collage student who needed money,and had a part time job. And yeah,maybe I would drink and flirt with some men,but I got bigger tips. I didn't do anything wrong."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Check the cameras. I started working there since August. Every night I was there you can see me on the dance floor,serving drinks." I cross my arms over my chest more so to warm myself up than anything else.

"Okay. We will. But even if you have nothing to do with this,what's to say that your boss doesn't?"

I shrug "I don't know."

"Oh come on. You honestly want me to believe that you worked there for seven months,and didn't know anything."

"Believe what you want detective. I'm done talking. I know my rights."

"Fine. We can keep you here for another 48 hours. You'll talk eventually." He says with a smirk.

"We'll see about that." I say with a smirk of my own,causing them to frown.

As If on cue,I hear a tap,and I assume It's coming from the two way glass that's in the interrogation room.

One of them goes out,leaving detective Wenn to have a stare off with me.

The door opens,and his partner has a grim look on his face.

"You're free to go Miss Reynolds." He says as I smile.

"What the fuck do you mean?" He walks towards his partner as he says something in his ear,causing him to get the same grim look.

"I guess you're free." He says.

I smile as I get up and walk towards the door "Thank you gentlemen. Now,can I have my things back?" I ask.

Ramirez opens a drawer and gives me a plastic bag that contains my phone and keys before I walk away.

I bite my lip at all the missed calls and texts on my phone,before I see Stefan who is sitting on a chair in the lobby.

"Hey." I say,causing him to jump up and have wrap his arms around me so quickly,it makes me dizzy.

"Oh thank God." He breathes out.

"Are you okay? What happened? What the fuck Charlie? Is there something you wanna tell me?" He asks as I smile.

"They said they were gonna keep you for a while." He looks at me up and down.

"I'm fine.Just cold. They just questioned me."

"Here." He takes off his jacket and gives it to me,I'm about to decline but my freezing body says otherwise.

"What happened?" He asks again,while a figure by the coffee machine catches my attention.

"Could you wait just a second?" I ask,pulling away and walk towards him.

In a few steps I'm standing In front of him as he look down at me.

Not in disappointment. His face is actually emotionless before I hug him.

"Hi dad." I say closing my eyes as my arms wrap around his back.

"Hi Charlotte." He says hugging me back and kissing me on my forehead.

"Thank you for getting me out of that mess." I say slowly.

"You're welcome. You were lucky I was in Rhode Island,I don't think a phone call could have done much.I would have preferred you never worked there,like I begged you not to."

"I didn't do what they think I did."

"I know.But you can't work there anymore." I nod.

"You're friend was concerned. He has been here for hours." I look back and smile at Stefan's confused look before I wave him over.

"Are you really dating him,like Megan said?" He asks,knowing me way to well.

"No,he's just a friend." I say as he walk here.

"This is Stefan." I point to him as he stretches out his hand "Stefan,this is my dad."

" Arthur Reynolds." Stefan's eyes widen a bit before his fave goes back to normal.

"Nice to meet you...sir." He adds on.

"You too. Thank you for worrying about my daughter." He says as Stefan nods.

"Well,thank you for everything. But we should go,I'm tired." I say as he nods.

"You sure? You don't wanna eat something? I would love to hear about what's going on in your life. Since you're not even answering my voicemails."

"Yeah. I have work in the morning,and so does Stefan."

"Okay. Will I see you on spring break?"

"Maybe. I don't know." I sigh as he nods,before hugging me and kissing my cheek.

"Goodbye Charlotte." He says before putting on his coat and walking out.

I sigh deeply before turning to Stefan,who looks like he wants to ask a million questions at once.

"We have to walk to Phoenix where my car is,so you'll have plenty of time to ask my anything you want." I say walking out before him.

"I was gonna ask If you were cold in your skirt. I think I have the pants I wear at work in my backpack. I didn't really check. I just grabbed it and took a cab to here." He says opening the zipper of the bag.

"Oh. Okay." He smiles a she hands me the large sweatpants.

"And you are gonna tell me about your dad."

We walk over to a bench and I wear them over my skirt,and pull Stefan's jacket over them.

"Thank you. I thought I was gonna get frost bite." I chuckle.

"And thank you Stefan. You didn't have to come all the way down here. Lilly must have probably drove you insane."

"It's the least I could do,really. And yeah,you should call Lilly and Uri." He shrugs.

"So,you met my dad?" I ask,because It looks like curiosity is literally going to kill him.

"Arthur Reynolds? He is your dad? The judge who was on the

"The people vs.Conrad" case?"

"The very same." I shrug.

"How come you never mentioned him?" He asks.

"We don't have the best relationship,if you didn't notice. Besides,he's a democrat. And with your dad being...who he is. I thought you would hate him."

He chuckles "Are you kidding? I made a website that had embarrassing photos of my dad when i was fourteen. I don't really have the best relationship with my father either."

We walk for a few minutes in silence until he clears his throat.

"So,I know why I hate my dad. Why wouldn't I. But,why do you?" He asks.

"I don't. That's the problem. I don't hate him." He looks at me in confusion.

"I love him so much. That's why I can't be around him. Because I allow the love to blind me and make me forget and forgive all the things he's done."

"Like what?"

"After my mom died,we were both really sad. But you know,I moved on. Shit happens. A lot of people have it worse. And It hit my dad pretty hard."

I turn and see that I have his full attention.

"That's why I was...happy,when he told me he had started dating someone two years later. That's when I met Loraine."

"Meg's mom,right?" He asks as I nod.

"I saw her on many occasions,her and her daughter.And I had this feeling...that something wasn't right. And I told him that. But he ignored me,and married her."

"She wasn't a good stepmother?" He asks.

I chuckle "Not Cinderella bad,but she wasn't exactly Marry Poppins." He smiles a little.

"I needed a mom,ya know? And I would have loved her so much. If she had just tried to love me and except me as her daughter,like my father did with Meg. We could have been so happy.

"It was bad in the beginning when she would ignore me. Forget to buy me things. Accidentally loose my stuff. Not give a damn about anything. And I didn't care about that,I was over it by that point. I had Lilly's mom for almost everything." I chuckle.

"You know she gave both of us

"the talk". And she told me about periods. Bought me tampons and stuff. She even bought me my first bra." I shake my head.

"Things at home weren't perfect. But I had my dad. But then things got worse."

"Did...did she hurt you?" He asks as I chuckle.

"I could have beaten her ass at twelve.But no,she was never physical. Her words were enough."

"Physiological abuse?"

"Racial slurs.Once or twice." I answer as he narrows his eyes as his jaw clenches.

"It's really fucked up to tell a twelve year old that she's worth less,or will never succeed in life because of the color of her skin."

"I'm so sorry Charlie." He stops but I continue walking.

"And your dad didn't believe you?" He asks.

"He did. Yelled at her. And she stopped saying those stuff. But she just kept calling me other names.And my dad was in love.He picked himself over his daughter. He was selfish." I shrug.

"I watched him fall more and more in love,as he forgot my mother more and more everyday. And that's why I can't forgive him. Because he was selfish,but also because we forgot my mom. And wanted me to forget her too."

"I'm really sorry Charlie."

"It's fine. None of this is your fault." I smile at him.

"Besides,you don't think I spent the next ten years being a good little angel did you? I made both of them regret everything little by little. Still am." I chuckle.

"Like what?" He asks.

"Well,let's just say the thousands of dollars Loraine spent on her bedroom and all her clothes,went to waste when they caught on fire. Accidentally..."

***

"Yes Uri,I'm fine." I roll my eyes while he closes the front door. "No,you don't have to come over. You both are probably exhausted. We'll se you tomorrow. We'll come over." I laugh when I hear Lilly shouting in the background,and then end the call.

"They say hi." I walk to the kitchen,where Stefan is making a sandwich.

"Can you make me one?" I ask grabbing a water bottle.

"This is yours. No mustard,right?" He asks as I nod,a little surprised.

"Hey you!" I crouch down and pick up Frank,petting him as he starts purring.

"You're gonna go to Uriah's place tomorrow night?" He asks placing the plate in front of me.

"Yeah. We both are?" I half ask.

"I can't...I have a thing."

"What thing?"

"With a girl. A study date. Or a date. I don't really know. We're meeting up tomorrow night."

"Oh." I breathe out,the food in my mouth going sour.

"Good to know you're going back to your old habits." I say under my breath.

"The hell is that supposed to mean?" He asks as I shake my head.

"Charlie. Speak." He walks behind me and grabs my arm.

"Let go of me."

"Talk." He says stubbornly.

What are you doing?

This is not you Charlie.

We do not get jealous,especially over Stefan.

"I just wanted to know when you got a date,before or after you groped and violated me?" Obviously I'm gonna exaggerate.

"Violate? What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Nothing. Go to hell for all I care."

"Fuck you Charlie."

I look up at him,feeling like smoke is coming is coming out of my ears.

And what do I do?

Confront him some more?

Slap him?

Anything else?

No.

I kiss him.

His hands ball into fists for a few seconds,while his face is in my hands,but then,he relaxes.

Actually,more than relaxes. Next thing I know,I'm pinned against he wall with him holding me up,while he kisses me furiously.

"Jesus Christ,you're infuriating." He breathes out,taking off his shirt.

I let out a small laugh,looking down at his torso,before he kisses me again,and starts walking to my room.

He puts me down on the bed,as I look up at him breathless for a few seconds.

"You sure about this?" He asks.

"Are you?" His lip twitches for a second before he crawls on the bed.

He grabs the hem of my shirt,and I raise my arms,understanding what he's getting at.

He then slowly takes off the large sweatpants and my skirt from my body,leaving in only my bra and underwear.

They weren't anything special or sexy. Just usual pink cotton bra and panties.

But the way Stefan was looking at me,you'd think I was wearing Victoria's Secret.

He licks his lips as his eyes look me up and down,and his hand traces my hip.

"Stefan..." I breathe out as he smirks and moves his face inches from mine.

"Hmm?" He asks before I get inpatient and pull his mouth down on mine.

His tongue skims past my lips,making me clutch his arm tighter and tighter.

He nibbles on my bottom lip before he starts kissing down my neck.

He stays there for a few minutes,kissing my chest after removing my bra carefully.

At this point,my breathing had hitched,causing me to let out whimpers now and then.

His lips kisses down my stomach,reaching the hem of my underwear.

This is about to get interesting.

I hold myself up on my elbows as I look down at him,his green eyed gleaming in mischief.

"What's wrong? Is the Charlie Reynolds nervous?" He asks with a deep voice.

He smirks at my silence,and starts dragging my underwear down my legs.

"Fucking beautiful..."

He kisses up my legs,until he reaches my inner thighs,where I lay down again. I feel his lips...there.

At this point,my breathing is so quick,it's as if I ran a marathon.

Why am I so nervous again?

Oh right,because little green eyed innocent Stefan Finn is doing unholy things to me with his tongue.

"Oh my God. Don't..."

I grip the sheets for life,not being able to contain my moans anymore.

I feel him smiling,and his hands gripping and pushing my thighs farther apart.

My orgasm waves through my body quickly,making me see black dots for a few seconds,as my legs wrap around his head tighter.

"Oh God..." I breathe out when It's finally over.

"Looks like i finally found a way to shut you up for a few minutes." He says, smiling.

"Fuck you."

"You're about to." He gets off the bed and walks to his drawer ,taking out something.

I see that it's a foil packet,and mentally kick myself for forgetting to get one.

He kisses me again,more roughly than before,his hand holding my face in place.

"I know now that sweetness was the perfect nickname for you." He whispers in my ear.

My eyes catch his for a few seconds before he rips the foil packet with his teeth.

He removes his belt and his pants,leaving him in only his boxers.

I sit up a little,my hands moving to the waistband,but he grabs them quickly and pushes me down on the bed.

"I want to..." He shuts me up by kissing me and his lips move to my ear again.

"Be.Good."

"Please..." I pant against his lips.

"What's wrong sweetheart? You getting a little frustrated?" He bites his lip as his hands trace my skin.

He moves back,and after a few seconds,he takes off his boxers.

And the only thing that comes to mind is one sentence.

Lilly was right.

Jesus Christ,that bitch was right.

"Are you sure?" He asks again and I nod,before he lies on top of me.

He holds himself up on his elbows as I feel him against me.

He looks at me one more time before he starts pushing in,slowly.

Why is he going so slowly...oh.

"Fuck." I hiss out as my nails dig into his back "Stefan..." I groan "Slowly..."

"I'm sorry." He says through clenched teeth "Fuck." He hisses out again.

He wraps my leg around his waist as he starts moving again.

"Jesus,I feel like I'm seventeen again." I breathe out.

He chuckles slightly,half in almost...pain? Is this painful for him?

You're not the one getting split in half you fucker!

"Oh God. Stefan,this hurts." I grunt out.

"Do you want me to stop?" He asks immediately as I shake my head.

After a few minutes,the pain becomes dull,and then there's the pleasure.

"Faster." I wrap both my legs around his waist as my hands grip his shoulders for life.

He obliges,and I see him restraining himself,holding back almost.

"Stefan..." I half call half moan out.

"Hmm?" He says moaning himself.

"Let go."

God,that's all it took for him to lose all self control,and really give in.

"Fuck. Too.fucking.long." He says between thrust.

"Please..." I beg,and I don't even know why.

I raise off the bed a little,but he holds me down roughly,as his other hand wraps around my throat.

"Stef-..." I scream out when he thrusts into me so roughly.

"Shhh. We don't wanna wake the neighbors now,do we?" He says,nibbling on my earlobe.

In all the times I have ever had sex with guys,it had never been this...rough.

I had never screamed.

I think I'm liking it way more than i should,to be honest.

He causes me to scream again,twice,three time,to a point where I bite into his shoulder to stop myself.

"Charlie..." He moans out,when I look at him,he kisses me again.

But this time,the kiss is more passionate,i guess.

I close my eyes as I throw my head back and his lips move against my neck.

Soon,we both fall apart,with one of his hands on my hip,while my nails are buried in his back.

He lays down beside me,breathing heavily,just like me,as we both stare at the ceiling.

"What did we just do?"
