All Chapters of You Taste Like Trouble To Me... : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Charlotte’s eyes couldn’t have gone any wider as she stared at the lean woman across from her. “Lupman?”“Why yes, darling,” Teresa confirmed. “That disrespected woman resting in our chapel is the very late wife of darling Henry…” Barbara’s smile grew, “Isn’t that just the way of the world? Henry has been kind to Lotte, and then the universe gave her a chance to share that kindness back. I don’t think Henry would have wanted anyone else to find Anast…” “This place is all wrong,” Denise interrupted. She clung to her furs as if they were some kind of life vest. “It is god-awful. Like something out of a sick and twisted fantasy. ” “Watch it,” Judy warned, her glasses slightly fogged from the damp air outside. “Yes,” Sara agreed, her voice dripping with venom. “Watch it…” Her hollow gaze drilled into Denise until the other woman took several steps back. Reaching out an arm, she linked with Victoria, and the two of them turned on their heels in the direction of the Chapel. Teresa att

An overwhelming wave of embarrassment fell over Lotte as she feebly shuffled her way over to the Doctor. She didn’t know what her face looked like, but the way David was watching her made the girl think it was pretty bad. Reaching the lock, she slowly turned it, then waited as he threw the door open and rushed in. In two heartbeats, she was in the man’s arms and burying her face into his credibly warm shoulder. He smelled amazing, and Lotte had to show great restraint in order to stop herself from taking a huge whiff of his scent. With one arm around Charlotte’s middle and his other hand woven through the girl’s hair, the Doctor took a deep breath. “Where have you been?” He whispered soothingly. “I woke up this morning, and Levi said that you had been out all night.” Lotte wanted to answer; however, her mind was fogged by how warm the man was. Luckily, Barbara had come up behind her and heard David’s question. In as equally soft a voice, the woman answered, “She was at the church al

The drive back to the house was quiet. Somehow, Charlotte had managed to get crammed into Henry’s car with Levi, Matty, and Brandon. The boys had opted to take up the back bench and give Lotte the front seat. The girl cringed over this and prayed that they didn’t have plans to keep spoiling her into staying. After a bit of silence, Brandon grumbled, “And she still keeps stealing Lotte’s boots. I bought those with my own money too…” Henry sighed, “And they are lovely, dear. We will simply have to remind Romy that they belong to Lotte and that she needs to return them.” As he spoke, the elder Lupman’s eyes shifted to Charlotte’s feet. “And we really must do that soon. Those sneakers look like they are ready to be buried.”At the thought of burials, Lotte’s mind went back to Anastasia. “We should give your wife another burial. She deserves it…” The older man nodded sadly. “I am afraid that will have to wait. The police want to keep her in the Chapel a bit longer while they look into w

After parting ways with Levi in the hall, Lotte did find a way to catch up on some sleep. Once she got over the shock of being back in that bed again - after swearing she had slept in it for the last time - the girl curled up against her pillow and almost immediately fell into a deep slumber. Lost in a dream of trees, bonfires, and howling at a full moon, Charlotte felt her very spirit lifting with energy… And then a firm hand began to shake her from those Autumn woods and drag her right back into her bedroom at David’s house. … It was David doing it. The Doctor’s sympathetic eyes peered into Lotte’s as he placed a finger to his lips. Next to him, several obvious feet taller, was James. Both men looked incredibly uncomfortable; however, they also had determination on their lips as they waited for Lotte to sit up and stretch.“What’s going on?” The girl whispered, attempting to locate a clock in the room. The light outside her window hadn’t appeared to shift very much from when she h

Lotte couldn’t get out of the truck fast enough. She waited as David slid off the bench and onto the ground, and was about to mimic him, when the Doctor turned around to face her. With tantalizingly firm hands, David grabbed Charlotte’s middle and helped to lift her out of the vehicle. Once again, she was reminded of the hooded figure, and (once again) she had to question her original guess that it was Mateo. That grip was too familiar. Quickly ducking her head, Lotte faced ‘The Market’ and saw that a small crowd had gathered inside. “Oh shit,” the girl muttered, “I hope they aren’t in there for bakery items. I am pretty sure the only things we had left were a few day-old danishes and muffins. Poor Barbara…” David’s hands released Lotte’s hips, but then his arms reached up around her, and he pulled her into a hug. “You know it makes me very happy when you talk like that. Look at you worrying about the town. You are such a good girl.” “Varglow will be just fine without its sweets t
