Chapter 2 - Morgan (Part 2)

last update Last Updated: 2023-02-18 02:20:06

"That was close, wasn't it, little friend?" Morgan murmured softly, gazing tenderly into the kitten's wide gray eyes. "You gave me quite a scare, you know that?" with all calm and kindness, he extended his hand towards the cat, who flinched even more and hissed loudly, showing the teeth, although it was visibly trembling "No need to be afraid, I don't want to warn you. I just want to make sure you're not hurt."

Patient, he waited the time necessary for the kitten to calm down and feel safe enough to, step by step, even still very cornered, get out from under the car and approach him. Moving slowly to disturb the animal further, as Charlie had taught him, he gently stroked the back of the cat's ears until it relaxed enough to allow itself to be picked up and examined.

"You look fine..." Morgan muttered to himself, as he ran his fingers and eyes over the little guy's legs and belly. "But I'm not an expert, so I think it would be best to see a vet to be sure..." he couldn't help a chuckle escaping him when, suddenly, the most obvious solution of all came to mind "You know what? I know the perfect place. I'll take you there and then I can decide what would be the perfect gift for a perfect girl."

Since there was nothing inside the car that could provide shelter for the kitten, Morgan took his suit jacket, which had been lying in the backseat since he had left his late-afternoon meeting, and rolled it into a ball. And he was ready to place the kitten snuggled in the middle of it when the little animal, who had taken advantage of his moment of inattention to climb his shoulder, tried to jump back to the ground, but Morgan was faster, managing to hold it before the paws reached the floor.

"You're quite the rebel, huh?" Morgan laughed breathlessly as he lifted the cat to eye level and watched it give a sullen meow. "You know, I know someone who also loves to take chances without a second thought. I bet you two would get along great. Well, actually, you're going to get along just fine once we get to your new temporary home."

Now with more attention and dexterity, he placed the cat on top of his jacket and closed the door quickly, entering through the driver's door before his new friend tried to escape again.

"Be patient." he laughed, when the two returned to the road and the cat began to walk suspiciously around the car, as if looking for an exit "We're almost there. Why don't you take a nap in the meantime?"

After another minute of wandering around the car, the cat seemed to accept his suggestion and jumped into the passenger seat, crumpling the fabric of his jacket until it finally lay down on it and fell asleep. Which was no doubt providential as, as soon as he stopped once more in front of Vivian's institution, it was much easier to pick up the now sleeping kitten in his lap and carry him inside.

"Why, two visits in one day?" Vivian raised her eyebrows as soon as she saw him come in "If you lost sight of Charlie, I'm sorry to say, but she hasn't come back here. Not even that girl likes to work that much."

“You'd be surprised how untrue that is." he laughed; in fact, there was nothing Charlie loved more than animals and, most of all, being able to help them "But I came back for another reason..." pulling down the fabric of his jacket a little, he revealed the scruffy furball he wore, "Bring you another mouth to feed."

"Oh..." instead of being amused by his joke, as she usually did, Vivian's face, on the contrary, became worried "One more..."

"Are you all right, Vivian? It was just a joke, don't worry." he soothed her "I can find another place..."

“No, it's okay, it's just that…” she bit her lip, before sighing in defeat. “Maybe it really would be better to look for another NGO. We already have almost twice the capacity and I don't want to take the risk of taking in the animals knowing that we run the risk of leaving them without adequate food."

“You know I can help, Vivian. You are building something amazing in this place and a lot of people would be heartbroken if something bad happened."

“With 'a lot of people'…” Vivian smirked, making air quotes. “You mean Charlie?"

"Do not change the subject." He cleared his throat awkwardly. "Just accept my donation and pay your debts."

"I'll think about it. But no matter what, this place is my responsibility and I'll take it. " Smiling sadly, Vivian took the cat from his arms "Now let's go this little guy. What happened?"

“He crossed the street suddenly and I nearly hit him with my car. Fortunately, I didn't find any injuries, but I thought I'd better check."

"You did well." Vivian praised "I'm going inside for a quick checkup. You can wait here if you like…” It was only when Vivian's eyes strayed to the door behind him that Morgan realized a young man in uniform had arrived. “Oh, the shipment of rations I ordered has finally arrived. Jack!" she called over her shoulder. "Come here! We have a delivery and I'm busy!"

"You know that my shift is theoretically over, don't you...?" The boy appeared in the hallway leading inside, taking off his lab coat and looking displeased, until the sight of Morgan standing there seemed to take him by surprise.

Trying to be friendly, Morgan nodded and even tried to smile a little when the young man hesitantly returned the greeting. It wasn't like he hated the kid or anything. He just couldn't relax around him since he found out that Jack had already hit on Charlie. Several times. And knowing that left a sour taste in her mouth and made her hands want to curl into fists. Which was a ridiculous reaction, of course. Charlie was a 20-year-old who had every right to flirt freely with guys her age and go on as many dates as she wanted. In fact, it was good that she did this: dating someone her age, who could give her the experiences and future that an old man like him never could.

However, not even knowing that it was best for Charlie could make him enjoy the possibility of seeing her find a boyfriend.

With a silent sigh, as Vivian went in to examine the kitten and Jack went out to meet the delivery man, Morgan sat down in the small set of worn chairs near the front door, trying to find some distraction from her plans for what might happen. as a birthday present for Charlie. Fate, however, did not seem to be willing to allow him to relax, as soon the sound of the conversation of the two boys outside reached his ears, clearer than he would have liked.

"So she rejected you again?" a voice he didn't recognize but thought was the delivery guy, he asked.

“You don't have to pretend you're surprised. I already knew this would happen." Jack disdained, looking very calm, almost good-humored "I just asked her out again so I wouldn't miss the opportunity."

“You know that means it's my turn, right? I've already given you too many chances. Oh, and don't be too disappointed after you catch us making out in your pantry one of these days". the other boy commented smugly.

“Oh, of course, Don Juan." Jack laughed cynically "Just promise me you'll repeat that in front of Charlie when you ask her out. I'm looking forward to seeing her neuter you."

Gritting his teeth so hard his jaw ached, Morgan had to dig his fingers into the flesh of his knees to keep himself in place and not rush through that door to land a few punches in that stupid kid's face. How dare he talk like that about Charlie? One more word and he'd have him swallow his own tongue...

"Anyway, Paul, I've told you time and time again that neither of us, nor any other guy, has a chance with her." Jack commented, clearly trying to dissuade the delivery man "We're not her type."

“Well, I'm very versatile." replied the boy, without seeming to give up "Sometimes you're just not her type."

"Believe me ..." this time Jack laughed heartily "She knows very well what she's looking for. So if I were you, I would give up."

"Do you know something you don't want to tell me, by any chance?"

More attentive than ever, feeling her stomach clench at the possibility that Charlie was in love, Morgan waited for Jack's response, her breath catching in her throat, but nothing happened. Jack's suggestive silence began to suffocate him with an almost unbearable wave of anxiety, until Vivian suddenly reappeared in the room, with the cat in her arms, taking away from him any possibility of finding out what Jack apparently knew about Charlie's heart.

"He is fine. Just a little scared, of course, but perfectly healthy." As Vivian approached him, the cat began to swing its paws in the air, trying to escape from her hands, while meowing desperately in Morgan's direction "Look at this. Sounds like you really managed to make him feel safe. Congratulations, you just made a new friend.

"It seems so." He forced himself to laugh, despite the tension that refused to leave his body after the conversation he had overheard, as the cat jumped into his arms, starting to purr softly as soon as Morgan hugged it to his chest "And don't worry, I will take responsibility for him. I know things are not easy around here."

" Are you sure?" Vivian questioned him, in a mixture of relief and concern.

“Absolute. In fact…” Tilting his head to look into the kitten's wide, curious eyes, Morgan was finally able to manage a genuine smile, “It's my duty. I had a big problem and he just fixed it."

“Well, it's up to you." Vivian laughed, even without understanding "Just take good care of him. And, whatever happens, we're here, okay?"

After saying good-bye to her, Morgan left towards his car, suppressing the urge he had to approach Jack and the other boy when he realized that the two were now talking across the street, near where a truck was parked, too far for Morgan's hearing to reach. With an irritated sigh, he just tucked the kitten back into his makeshift bed inside the car and got out of there as quickly as possible.

It was none of his business if Charlie had an ideal type of man or even if she was already in love with someone. They were friends, and if she ever wanted to open up to him about that part of her life, that was her decision. And, as a friend, it was her responsibility to welcome and congratulate her when the time came for her to fall in love...

When the time came for him to see her in the arms of another man.

When the time came for him to have his heart broken.

    Charlie wasn't good at being sexy. It was a sad reality, but if the first step to solving a problem was realizing it existed, then she had to admit it: she looked ridiculous in that outfit. With a sigh, Charlie flopped onto the bed, her breasts nearly bouncing out of the neckline of the shirt she was wearing when her back landed on the bed. The fabric was stretched to the limit across her chest and belly, almost to the point of being see-through, drawing attention to all the places she didn't want highlighted. Growing up with her grandfather, she learned to be confident and love every one of her curves and marks, no matter how many people might judge her because of them. But after three years of watching Samantha throw herself at Morgan and seeing the dozens of high-society fake friends she had doing their best to keep their bodies thinner than a sheet of paper, she could no longer look at herself without thinking. whether it was true that Morgan would never be attracted to a woman li

    "He's really good at sneaking…" Morgan grumbled "But at least I'm glad you guys are getting along so well already. Not that he had any other option but to fall in love when it comes to you." he teased, looking at her tenderly. "Oh, Morgan... It's so beautiful... What's the name? It is yours?" Charlie asked, stroking the kitten, euphoric "And why did you bring him here?" “Well, I'm terrible with names, so I thought I'd best leave that part to you." Morgan came to sit beside her again, with a smile that couldn't disguise her anticipation "And well, it would be the most logical thing to bring it here, since, from today, you own it." "What?!" she gasped, torn between feelings of shock and excitement. "Me?! Like this? You know I can't bring any pets here..." Contentment gradually gave way to bad memories, making her sigh sadly "It'll be like last time, with Waffles." “Don't worry, I've thought about it." His hand rose to the top of her head, stroking her "I will not allow Samantha to mi

    There were many things Morgan expected of Anthony Manson, from misdemeanor to trying to get around their contract and getting money in illicit ways. Which, to be honest, he even knew that Anthony was trying to find ways to do it, but couldn't because of his vigilance. However, he would never have expected his partner to die so suddenly. Sitting in the hospital waiting room, with a dejected Charlie snuggled in his lap, Morgan stared at the door where the emergency room doctor had just exited, after breaking the news that Anthony had died after a massive heart attack. In fact, he was already dead before they even got an ambulance out of the mansion. With his head aching from the whole situation, Morgan searched his memory for any indication that Anthony could be sick or feeling the least bit bad in the last few days, but he didn't find it. He looked the same as he always had: obsessed with his work and ready to squeeze every penny out of anyone who careless around him. Of course, hear

    “You could take forever if you wanted to." he soothed her, kissing her temple "Don't worry about it. I understand perfectly." All the way to the Manson mansion, and even when they quickly packed the few belongings Charlie wanted to take from there, the two remained silent. And Morgan only broke it when they finally parked at his condo and he was forced to caress Charlie's cheek, to wake her from the sleep she had sunk into, holding Sawyer, after they had left the mansion. "Darling..." he whispered against her ear, making her shudder, waking up "It's okay, we're here." Gently, he lifted her again in his arms, making her gasp. “I can walk, you know?" She blinked heavily, looking torn between drowsiness and stubbornness, as well as embarrassment. “I know, but you don't have to. You've worn yourself out enough for one day. Besides, it costs me nothing." aside from the fact that he was getting to enjoy the addictive sensation of having her warm body pressed against his, but of course he

    For a moment, when he woke up, Charlie thought he was still dreaming. It was the only possible explanation for why Morgan's arms were around her waist, pressing every inch of her body against his, including the exposed part of her chest that the parted shirt revealed. For as long as possible, which she would have stretched out into centuries, Charlie was frozen in place, afraid that any movement would wake Morgan and end that perfect moment. So she just remained relaxed, her cheek resting against his chest, and breathed in deeply of his scent, wanting to memorize how it felt to feel him so close. The only part of her that couldn't settle, of course, was her mind, and before long she found herself lost in a myriad of fantasies and scenarios where she could feel even more of his heat, run over every inch of his skin with fingertips and finally find out what his kiss tasted like. Of course, sleeping with him for real would be fantastic, but it just wasn't what she wanted anymore. To be

    "Of course not." he interrupted her, taking her face between his hands, visibly anxious to calm her down "I know you didn't do that on purpose, so there's no point in getting angry, especially when it's very clear that you're feeling worse than you are. that I for all of this. So trust me, Charlie, it's okay. It was nothing." He leaned down to kiss her on the forehead, as he had done many times the day before, and Charlie thought that it wasn't so bad to be upset sometimes, as long as he continued to comfort her in that way "And thank you so much for having tried to do this for me." “I wish I had." she huffed, still furious with herself. “Well, remind me to teach you some cooking basics later." He chuckled. "Now, will helping me clean all this make that pout go away?" He glared at her mouth, but quickly looked away. “We'll see…” she sighed regretfully. “Anyway, it's the least I can do. Tell me what I have to do." So for the next half hour, the two of them busied themselves cleaning

    Contrary to what one would expect from a funeral, Anthony's funeral took place on a sunny afternoon in pleasant weather that soon gave way to a night of clear skies. The garden had proved too large for the tiny number of people who had attended the wake, especially since most of them were representatives or secretaries of Anthony's "friends", who had attended on behalf of their employers and departed before the coffin was even reached. could be taken to the cemetery. If it weren't for a few occasional tears from Charlie, Anthony would have been buried in complete coldness, surrounded only by the whispers between Samantha and her lawyers, who weren't even bothering to hide how much they wanted this to be over as soon as possible. The entire time, Morgan stayed with Charlie in her arms, shielding her from the empty condolences of the callous guests and Samantha's venomous expression, which seemed more willing to glare at her stepdaughter than say her final goodbyes to her husband.

    "The only reason I haven't gone to college until now is that my father refused to pay, even though he knew I wouldn't be able to pay for it myself without having received my grandfather's inheritance!" she roared, her face starting to turn red with rage. "Just like he refused to let me get a job while I lived here!" "Well, Charlotte..." Samantha got up, approaching her stepdaughter with a sparkling expression "You don't have to act like that. You have me after all…” Reaching out, she placed her hand on Charlie's shoulder, digging her nails into it like claws. “It actually breaks my heart to know that you want to leave me. But do not worry. I promise we'll have a wonderful year together before you leave." Samantha opened a smile wide and sharp, like a razor. "No, Samantha…" Morgan, whose restless mind had been buzzing with possibilities since the moment this mess had begun, cut Samantha off, finally rising to stand beside Charlie, pulling her out of her stepmother's reach.

So I think it would take more than just a dress... " Undoing the ties at the back of her back, she let the fabric slide to the floor, leaving her in just a pair of tiny panties before his smoldering gaze " I think I would need to be naked in front of you…” Closing the small distance between the two of them, she caressed his bare chest “I would need to touch you…” Charlie moved her lips over his teasingly “I would need to kiss you. ..But her words were interrupted when he pulled her into one more eager kiss, digging his fingers into the flesh of her ass without any qualms, making her gasp.“You're wrong, Charlie…” he growled against her lips, his green eyes almost completely black with desire “You just need to exist.

Your wish is an order. “He grunted, moving to the area of the worktop where the ingredients were and motioning for her to stand beside it. “First, we have to mix the cocoa powder with the oil, eggs and sugar. “ he explained, picking up a new bowl to put everything in it.“Can I move? “ she offered, sticking her side to his, when she saw him reach a nearby fuê."

    Morgan didn't know why he was there. Or rather, the truth was, he shouldn't be there. And that in every sense.There was a lot of work to be done and a lot of paperwork to be signed in his office, like every other day of the year... But still, perhaps for the first time in his life, he had found it difficult to concentrate. That's because the image of Charlotte Manson jumping into a fountain across from him the day before wouldn't leave his mind. The more rational side of him tried to argue that it was just because she was a poor young girl with clearly terrible parents that she couldn't stand up for herself and needed help. Therefore, as soon as he finished work, he could visit her in the most proper way possible, like any normal person would. But not.Instead, he had left the office early for the first time in years "maybe, again, for the first time in his life", just so he could see Charlie again and get rid of that nagging feeling that had been plaguing his chest all morning.

    All the books and scientific articles Morgan had read about babies during Charlie's pregnancy said that in order for her son to sleep well, it was important to create a calm and quiet environment at nap time. However, his wife wasn't very good at it.“You spend the whole day soiling your diaper and throwing up…” he heard her play inside the suite's bathroom, with the sounds of wet kisses filling the room “How can you smell so good?Hearing her daughter's contented cackle, Morgan couldn't help but smile, even though she knew all that fussing would make it take Poppy much longer to fall asleep. But, well, she was Charlie's daughter, so obviously she wasn't a simple bottle, a dark room and a little white noise that would magically dampen the infinite energy she had inside her.Hearing his son give a long yawn, Morgan turned his attention to Patrick who, after a relaxing bath and having changed into his pajamas, was clearly ready for bed, very different from his twin sister.

    "Well...that depends..." he commented, shrugging." Like this? She raised an eyebrow, confused.“ It depends on whether you like it or not. “Morgan smiled, stroking her cheek." What? “ Charlie gasped, shocked “You mean...?“ Over the past few months, I've thought a lot about what you've told me about your dream of raising your own pets, beyond the shelter animals. But it would be a bit difficult to do that in an apartment. “ he said, making her eyes widen even more “ So I decided it would be a good idea to look for a new home for us: a spacious house where you can welcome as many animals as you want and make our family even bigger. “ Morgan approached her, biting her cheek to stop herself from laughing at her stunned expression. “And this was the house that I thought most fit what you had described to me.
