A/N : Right this is just a short fic about Charlie ands Julie. The other ducks do get a slight mention but as I said it's a Charlie/Julie.
Chapter 1
JULIE'S P.O.V
I have been living with my boyfriend Charlie Conway for a few months now. To be honest it was a bit of a shock to Charlie and myself never mind the rest of our team when we finally decided that we had feelings for each other. I mean how long it had taken us. We had been on the same team since we were about 12 and finally a year ago when we were 18 we both left the security of our families behind and realized the sparks which had been flying between us for some time, or so Connie told me.
After leaving Eden Hall behind, the ducks and I all got scholarships to the University of Minnesota. It had been a bit of an uphill struggle to get all of us on the same team been as we were co-ed and a full team but Coach Orion had been fabulous throughout doing all of our negotiating for us. He was amazing, not only had he gotten us all into the same college he'd managed to get himself a job there coaching us as well. To say the least how we all almost despised the man when we first came under his tutelage he had been nothing but fantastic to us each in many different ways.
I was just arriving home after an evening out with the girls - that was Connie, myself and some of the guy's girlfriends. I had left Charlie earlier that evening doing the vast amount of work he'd had for a few weeks that probably was due in the next day. I remember as I had walked out the door he'd winked at me then told me the same words he said every time we parted, 'love you'. You could say that we were old romantics but in fact it wasn't the big gestures that kept us going, it was the little things like his caring way towards me, always telling me he loved me, his protectiveness and the way he always managed to be the first to apologize after an argument even though he had probably been right.
As I entered the one bedroom apartment I noticed a small heart shaped note stuck to the refrigerator. For some reason I had a habit of reading things out aloud especially when I was on my own. 'Hey baby, hope you had an awesome time with the girls, I'm with the guy's, we decided that while you were out we'd have a guy's night in. We'll probably be at Connie and Guy's. I should be back just after you. Love you. Charlie.'
I shook my head and hoped for his sake that he'd got all his work done, if not he'd probably be trying to achieve an all nighter again. Something he tried often but never really succeeded at.
By the time he walked in, I was just walking out of the bathroom with my big toweling robe and fluffy slippers. He looked up at me and smiled, his smile was always so perfect, if I was meeting him for the first time he could have probably swept me off my feet just by smiling.
"Hey baby". He spoke softly as he walked closer and pulled me into his chest as he sat on the back of the sofa. "You have a good time"? He pecked me on the cheek. His lips felt like silk gliding over my skin.
"Yeah, though I really think Luis needs to choose his girlfriends wisely in the future. Gemma never shut up about how good Luis was at hockey and she was coming out with all this crap about hockey and she didn't even know what half of it meant". I giggled softly.
"Enough about them, how's about an early night"? He raised his eyebrows wickedly.
"Oh, you tired". I tormented.
"No, but my shoulders are killing, you think you could massage them for me"? He whimpered adding puppy eyes to the mixture of looks he gave when he was trying to win me around.
"We'll have to see won't we. It all depends on whether you've got all your work done". I smiled slyly at him.
"Already done, ma'am". He replied like a soldier, then chased me into the bedroom.
After he finished torturing me with tickling, I finally agreed to massage his shoulders for him. He laid in the middle of our double bed, arms stretched out and hanging idly over the sides, while I straddled the bottom of his back rubbing his shoulders gently and every so often leaning forward to kiss his cheek.
I couldn't remember a time when I had been more happy than I was now. I was doing great in school, still managing to get A's, not all the time but at least 8/10, I had a great boyfriend, Hockey was going great for me. I had even heard a rumor that this guy wanted to take me and the rest of the ducks and turn us into a pro hockey team.
"Hello Jules". Charlie twisted his body so he could look up at me slightly.
"Huh, what I'm sorry". I snapped out of my thoughts and paying full attention to him.
"So what we going to do for spring break"? He asked as he rolled over keeping me in the same position.
"Oh, I think we'll manage to think of something". I kissed him gently, knowing full well that he wanted to know if I had anything planned for our 1 year anniversary that was only a few weeks away, during our spring break holiday.
"Well, I was thinking about going water rafting with the guy's". He tried and failed at tormenting.
"That's good because I was thinking about asking the girls if they wanted to come spend the week at my Uncles ranch". I teased him.
"Nuh, uh. Your spending spring break with me, it's our 1 year anniversary". He said without thinking.
"Yeah but if your going water rafting how can we spend the time together". I continued tormenting.
"I was messing with you". He spoke quickly, panic drifting slowly into his voice.
"I know you were, I was just getting my own back on you". I laughed at him as he tried to pretend to feel hurt.
After talking a little more about what we'd each like to do to commemorate spending a year together, we fell asleep in each others arms. The next morning I awoke to an empty bed. I couldn't hear the slight whir of the TV or smell anything foul, which was what it would smell like if Charlie was cooking or hear the tap, tap, tapping of his fingers hitting the keyboard of his lap top computer. After about 5 minutes of listening out for any tell tale noises, I decided to get up and investigate. I found him sat reading one of his papers that he had finished last night.
"Thought you'd done all your work"? I jumped up behind him making him jump a mile high.
"Jesus Jules, you scared the crap out of me". He laughed gently.
"Ar, you need me to change your pants"? I laughed at his choice of words.
"Wish I had time hun but I'm gonna have to go with dirty pants". He began to pack his bag full of the papers. Then kissed me goodbye not forgetting his 'love you' speech, then bolted out the door.
My first class wasn't till 10 so I had made plans to go to breakfast with Connie. It was 8 now and I was meeting her at about 8.30. Before I knew it my bag was packed full of the things I'd need that day, I was dressed and ready to go.
I suppose that was a major difference between myself and Charlie, I was always ready on time and he was never ready. He'd probably be late for his own funeral. Sometimes I had to bless his mom, how she'd put up with him all these years I'd never know. God she must be an angel or something. Funnily enough though he was never late for hockey, probably because everything else came after hockey, except me and his mom, I had to give him that. He always managed to put me and his mom first even though sometimes we disagreed with him about it. But what can you do. He loves us.
This is just something I was writing in-between my other projects when I got bored. There will be at least another chapter to this but I don't know after that. PLEASE R&R!!!!!
