Christmas Party

Bart and Charity

("We're very different ... I guess that's
obvious huh?" Charity asked)

"Well every ones different Charity. But I
seem to like the shy and quiet type myself,
I guess thats because im that way myself.'

I looked into her doe like eyes as she sipped
her wine with refinement and grace. She was
truely beautiful, I thought as I drank my drink.

I got bold enough to put my arm around her
and sit a little closer as I looked around the
room for her friend Nikki. Not seeing her I felt
as though I should make Charity at ease
since her escorts were'nt around.

"Want another wine sweet Charity?' I asked
grinning at her pet name I had for her. But she
was truely sweet so it was easy to say.
With my arm around her and on the back of
her seat, I leaned in close to her ear.

"You really are a sweetheart." I said as I kissed
her cheek and backed up just a bit to see her
reaction. Looking into her eyes somberly.

"Well every ones different Charity. But I
seem to like the shy and quiet type myself,
I guess thats because im that way myself.'

Charity looked over at Bart and gave a warm smile.
Nikki had used those words often ... but encouraging her to be LESS shy ... LESS quiet.

The arm that was eased around her felt good.
She moved into him as they sat and toyed with their drinks.

"Want another wine sweet Charity?'

Again that "name" making Charity's eyes dance, even as her cheeks pinked. She nodded accepting the offer of a second drink.

"You really are a sweetheart."

A gentle kiss was pressed to her pink cheek, making it deepen in hue.
Charity dropped her eyes shyly then raised them again, meeting his eyes.

"And you're ... charming Bart ... "

She confessed breathlessly with a disarming smile.

"It's ... getting hot in here ... "

She chuckled, laughing at herself.
Even though she knew her cheeks were flaming, she still felt at ease with him.
She knew he understood her confusion and was amused by his answering grin.
He was definitely someone she would like .... to get to know more ...

"Perhaps we could take our drinks some place ... cooler ... "

She suggested hestiantly and nodded beyond the hot noisy dance floor.

"... just to get some air ..."

She explained hoping she wasn't giving the wrong impression.
Surely he wouldn't think that she wanted him to ...
Placing the empty glass to the side she tipped her head up to his aware of the comforting sensation of his arm wrapped around her ... and of his body which seemed very close.

"I'm glad we met tonight, Bart"

She told him simply, speaking without thinking, but not caring.
She smiled thinking of the scolding Nikki would give her later when she knew that Charity had not "played the game", but Charity was too straightforward for that ... besides ... she really liked Bart ...
 
Bart and Charity

Her sweet and gentle way was overwhelming,
her light blushes and giggles assured him
that he was with a sweet lady and was proud
to have met her this night, at the christmas
party.

("Perhaps we could take our drinks some
place ... cooler ... "She suggested hestiantly
and nodded beyond the hot noisy dance floor.
"... just to get some air ...")

She must have been reading my mind, cause
I was going to suggest the very same..

"Why yes Charity, I would love to get some air."
Bart replied.

He got up and pulled her seat out for her as he
put his hand at her back and let her lead the
way. Where ever she wanted to go was fine
with him. His arm half around her as they walked.

("I'm glad we met tonight, Bart" she said)

"So am I, very glad." He replied to her.

As they walked from the table, he followed close
behind her. Allowing her to lead the way. Her aroma
filled his senses as he was intrigued with her softness.
