Charlotte slowly came round his breath, fanning on her neck his arm cradling her into him. Shit.

'Gabes.'

'Mmh.'

'Gabes.'

'I'm sleeping.'

She giggled. 'Wake up.'

He slowly came round. 'Char.'

She smiled.

'Shit, I must've fallen asleep. I'm sorry.'

'It's okay can you lose me please, I really need to go.'

'Oh erm sorry.'

She giggled and he took his arm from around her. She slid off the bed and went to the bathroom to refresh. She came out, opening her laptop. 'What are you doing?'

'You stuck to your end of the deal now I'm sticking to mine.'

'There's no rush,'

'Yes there is I promised I'd help you to find your dad and I am. It may take a while but all I can do is try.'

He nodded going to sit by her whilst the laptop booted up. She typed ehr password in. And went onto the internet. What's your father's name?'

'Michele Russo.'

'So you have your father's name?'

'They agreed on it apparently.'

She nodded typing so fast he couldn't keep up. 'I must say I'm impressed.'

She smiled. Hitting the button.

'Now all we have to do is wait.

He smiled looking at her. She was sexy and she had brains. What more could a guy want?'

'You're staring Russo.'

'Is it nerving you Campbell?'

'A little.'

He smiled. 'Good.'

He leaned forward.

'What are you doing gabe?'

'Kissing you, any objections?'

'I..'

He smiled, smashing his lips on hers kissing her passionately slipping his tongue in kissing her harder and harder leaving her breathless. He moved away. 'I best be going, I need to change before breakfast. I'll see you down there okay.'

'Okay.'

He pulled himself up. Opening the door turning back. 'Thanks for all of this Char.'

'What are friends for.'

He smiled nodding, turning back leaving the dorm, closing the door. We're they still friends ? He'd never kissed her before.

Gabrielle walked into the dinner hall after showering and changing. He spotted his friends he nodded and made his way to the breakfast counter acquiring his breakfast consisting of croissants, jam and a glass of juice. He strolled over to his friends sitting down. 'Where were you man? We knocked on your door?'

'I was with Char.'

'Mm kinky.' Marcel said wiggling his eyebrows.

'It wasn't like that.'

'So how was it's?'

'She was upset.'

'Why was she upset bro? she was in a flood of tears when we left you.'

'Plastic bitches cornered her in the bogs.'

'Why?'

'They wanted her to stop hanging round with us.'

'Fucking bitches.'

'They're going to be taught a lesson.'

They nodded in agreement.

Charlotte walked in and Marcel nudged him as she picked her breakfast.

He looked up smiling, calling her over. She smiled and made her way over to them sitting down. 'Are you sure you want to be seen with me after...?'

'We're your friends Char, those whores can't dictate to you who you hang with.'

'He's right babe you stick with us.'

She smiled, finally feeling like she actually belonged.

'How are you sweet cheeks. Gabe told us about Amanda and her minions.'

'Fine.'

'Good. If she threatens you again, come to us and we'll sort it.'

She smiled.

Amanda glared with devil looks as she walked passed her, Gabriel and their friends.

'Someone's pissed.'

They all nodded.

Amanda looked at Charlotte. 'I thought I warned you to stay the hell away from them.'

'I guess I didn't listen.'

'Listen here freak girl. You're nothing but a geek in sheep's clothing you stay the fuck away or else.'

'Or else what?'

'You'll regret it.'

'Oh no she won't you will.'

She locked up. 'Gabrielle babe.'

'Don't babe me Amanda. Stay the fuck away from Charlotte or you won't know what hit you.'

'Why are you defending her?'

'She's my friend unlike you. Come on Charlotte.'

She nodded and walked over to them. He placed his arm over her shoulder, looking at Amanda. 'If I hear you've gone anywhere near her or got your army of plastics to do your dirty work you'll regret it. Understand?'

She nodded.

'Come on babe you can hang with us.'

She smiled and they walked away.

'I'm going to teach you how to stick up for yourself.'

She nodded.
