Dirty Strumming Chapter Three More Then What You Paid For Charlie and Danny continued to meet up everyday to practise and they finally got along so well that they both were starting to really enjoy the lessons. Towards the end of 2 weeks, the sessions started to grow from 1 hour stretching to at least 3 hours but neither noticed. In the main building Danny was sat on the stage with Charlie sat in between his legs and his hands around her waist as she played the guitar. By now she could play �Crazy Little Thing Called Love� so well Danny thought she outdid him. Danny rested his head on her shoulder and slowly closed his eyes as she played. �There goes my baby, she knows how to rock and roll, she drives me crazy, she gives me hot and cold fever, then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat.� Charlie really thought she had turned pro. Then she noticed Danny�s eyes were closed. �I can�t be that bad?� she thought. Danny then realised how appropriate these words were to him. He could feel emotion in these lyrics and started to feel all tingly inside. Just then a huge smile had appeared which dominated Danny�s face as he opened one of his eyes. Charlie started to giggle. �I�m glad your not napping, I thought my playing had sent you to sleep!� she said still giggling. �No, I would never fall asleep as you played. I love the way you play.� he said nearing her face. Then Charlie remembered the first lesson that she had with him, how he closed his eyes to take in the words of the lyrics. Charlie also began to feel tingly. Charlie hopped off the stage towards the big double doors closely followed by Danny. Reaching the door Charlie gradually turned to face Danny. �You played amazingly well today� he whispered as a smile crept upon his face. He then leaned in very carefully as his lips brushed slightly against Charlie�s which sent shivers down both of their spines. As they pulled away Danny gazed into Charlie�s hazel eyes. She felt so nervous that she hurried out of the door down to the bridge. She sat there for a while thinking about what had just happened felling so lucky but at the same time thinking about what her father might say. The following day Charlie couldn�t wait for her guitar lesson and swiftly made her way over to the studio where she would meet Danny everyday. As she opened the door she expected to find Danny waiting for her to arrive sitting on the same chair playing his guitar so delicately. Instead, to her surprise, she found 3 unusual faces all look up at her from the centre of the room and Danny was no-where in sight. They were the other 3 members of Danny�s band. She recognised one of them as Tom. �Hi Tom. Do you know where Danny is, he was supposed to meet me for my guitar lesson.� she said worryingly. �Yes sorry, we had to use the studio today to record some of our new songs. Danny told me to tell you that he is waiting in his room for you� he explained slightly winking in her direction. Charlie then ran to the staff area eventually finding Danny�s room. She knocked on the door as Danny promptly rushed to open it. He found a slightly watchful looking Charlie standing on the other side. Danny directed his hand inside the room gesturing her to come in. He then sat on the bed and Charlie sat in between his legs with a guitar on her lap in a similar method which was done the previous day. Without Danny saying a word Charlie took a deep breath and started to play. ��.it shakes all over like a jellyfish, I kinda like it, crazy little thing called love�. She was almost whispering by the end of the verse feeling soft tingles race down her spine as she felt Danny�s lips gently touch her soft neck. He looked deep into her eyes as she stroked the back of his neck. He then placed his lips sensitively on hers as they began to kiss. Charlie dropped the guitar onto the cold floor and allowed Danny to take her in his arms. The lay in bed for hours just holding each other until one of them spoke up. �Have you had many women?� Charlie asked cheekily. �What do you mean?� replied Danny. �Have you HAD many women?� she asked again, this time she emphasised the word had. �No, no�� he answered acting slightly angry as he got out of the bed grabbing his jeans and zipping them up. �You don�t understand what it�s like Charlie. I mean I used to be a nobody until I worked at this place, now women are stuffing diamonds in my pockets and I sometimes think that they might actually love me. But then I think I must be using them, but I�m not. It�s them who are using me. I like you a lot Charlie, I think you are so much better then all the other women in the world put together� he slowly walked back to the bed and sat down facing Charlie. �What�s your real name Charlie?� he asked. �Charlotte� she grinned. �I like you a lot Charlotte� �I like you a lot too� she said as she sat up kissing him one last time.
