Chapter 20: Until I am Satisfied 2
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
A quick note please,
In this chapter, previous chapters, and the ones to come, wherever Lucy is used, it also stands for Luciana and Becky for Rebecca, the same way Jessie is for Jessica. It will remain this way throughout the rest of the book, except there's another note disputing it, which may not happen. Thank you as you read and please enjoy.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with the time", Charles affirmed.
"What will I be doing there?", Jessie questioned.
"I don't know, I'm quite bored. Maybe we could watch the skies, counting the stars and making wishes, sipping on smoothies", he said sarcastically through the phone, yawning.
"Then how about Lucy? Who will stay with her?", Jessie inquired in deep confusion, furrows formed on her forehead.
"You're tiring me out with the questions already. I asked a simple thing, can you please come over because I am bored?", Charles stressed out, "I don't know why you chose to ask me these questions like I am in a science quiz", and he rolled his eyes.
"I, I...., I don't know, I can't leave Lucy alone", Jessie babbled.
"So are you coming or are you not coming?", he questioned, paying no attention to what she said.
"I'm sorry I can't", she declared.
Charles who sat on a couch, with his laptop just opposite him while he made the call, his fingers pressing on random buttons and his feets making taps, forming a random beat, paused in his motion at her refusal. His fingers curled up and formed a semi-sphere as it relaxed on the Keypad.
"Who the hell was she to tell him a no", he gritted his teeth, with clenched jaws, furrows forming on his forehead and his eyes darkened, "I am not asking that you choose, or are you forgetting the dare already?", he asked sounding so at ease, trying to cajole her.
"The dare, I really can't do it", Jessie tried convincing Charles.
"Then it's fine", Jessie exhaled a sigh of relief hearing Charles's speech till she heard him add, "well, see who wants to make the next headlines in the school gist"
"But....", She fretted, inhaling deeply while getting back flashes of the look people gave to Alyssa, "really, being on the school headlines, took a whole lot of courage", she said internally, wondering what kind of news Charles will have about her, there.
"Okay, I'm coming", Jessie finally replied, "and you are dropping me back at my place. I don't know when you turned to this though", Jessie murmured, "I will be there", she said before she hung up.
Charles sat where he was, waiting for his arrival, and his mind wandered to what happened minutes ago. Becky was gradually getting to the peak of the excitement that he was arousing, when he just paused midway, his fingers that were pumping inside of her suddenly came to a halt and he stepped back from her as if the power source was instantly disconnected. He made up flimsy excuses, so Rebecca could leave and his plans fell through.
Not finding the peace he wanted, he decided to call Jessica, "maybe he could find peace by tormenting her", he thought.
Jessie stood in front of her mirror, trying to gather the courage to leave for Charles's house. "Finally, her dare day was here", She muttered, trying to control her anxious breaths.
Since she dropped Charles's call, she became conflicted, thinking of what to do. She decided to search the net for some ideas of how to act in a first-time experience, which returned a lot of absurd results. Jessie decided to stick to the result that showed she should bathe and freshen up first which she did and now, she was looking straight into the mirror, staring at herself.
She walked to her closets and picked up nude-colored condom pants with half cuts, that complimented her skin. The red color will have been just perfect, but Jessie did not want to be attractive enough. She took a brush placed on the table and arranged her hair, with her mind wandering around the various things Charles may want to do to her. Moving to her closet, she picked up a baby pink sweatpants with a grey colored oversized t-shirt and wore it. She took out a multi-colored flip-flop, picked up her phone, and made her way out of the room.
Jessie walked to Luciana's room to check on her and met her sleeping, wrapped up in a duvet. Not wanting to disturb her, she picked up a pen and wrote a note, which read,
"Sweet rose, I will be stepping out to Charles's place and I will be back in a jiffy. Don't miss me so much if you wake up before I am back"
Tearing out the paper and pinning it on the closet door, Jessie made her way outside the house, shutting the door behind her.
Luciana who only did a pretend-to-sleep action stood up and walked to where the paper was. Reading the contents, she gave a genuine smile. She was thrilled about the fact that Jessie was finally living a happy life, unlike hers. Luciana had come to the resolution that happiness wasn't her luck, and she was already accepting it. Thinking about what happened earlier, she let herself down to the floor, wearing a sad grimace.
"I'm coming ", Charles yelled out, as he walked over to the door. Opening the door, he met Jessie standing there, forcing a smile.
"Hey", he heard her say.
"You came quite late", Charles said in response, not even pausing to take in her greeting. Jessie decided to ignore his statement, "so can I come in?", she asked, her head moving in question, indicating her speech.
Charles stepped out of the door, paving way for her entrance, and she walked straight to the sitting room.
"I'm here like you asked", Jessie started, "is there any reason?"
"I just wanted to see you", he smirked.
The embarrassment that filled Jessie's face was so much that her cheeks colored red. It was cute hearing him call because he wanted to see her, but the fact that he brought her out late at night was annoying. Jessie was lost in between releasing a smile and spanking his face, but she resolved in doing none.
