Ok so this is the first chapter of this fic, have some rough plans of continuing it if anyone thinks its worthwhile. Please review and let me no if i should continue.
'What's put that smile on your face missy?' Ruby joked to her best friend April
'A certain someone.' April smirked, she love winding Ruby up. It had been five months since she had began her secret relationship. April knew for a fact that if people found about out about their relationship it would anger not only her sister and friends but his family to.
'April, it's been months.' Ruby moaned, she hated that her best friend was keeping such a big secret from her. 'When you going to tell me who it is?'
'When I'm ready, you will be the first to no.' April smiled hoping she had pleased her friend.
At the restaurant...
Heath was sitting with his older brother Brax having a coffee before the lunch time rush. Heath had recently got a job as a builder for a local company. He had to say even though it was much harder work than selling drugs, he really enjoyed it. Not just the job, but the peace of mind that he wasn't going to get arrested and have to leave his daughter or any other members of his family.
'What you smiling at?' Brax asked curiously as Heath's smile grew as he read a message on his phone.
'Just a mate, no one you know.' Heath replied keeping the huge smile on his face.
'Hmm, yer right. I know you've got a mystery woman, when you gonna come out and admit it?' Brax asked, now he knew how his brother had felt when he refused to reveal his girlfriend, Charlie's identity.
'I'm not talking to you about this, when everyone's ready it will come out.' Heath replied, he was fed up of people asking him and he was annoyed that he couldn't tell anyone the truth. Especially after Brax dated someone no one was happy with and two years later there engaged and happier than ever.
It was six in the evening and Brax, Charlie, Ruby and Casey were sat in the house watching some T.V. and chatting about their day.
'You know I'm sick of April not telling me who her secret man is.' Ruby suddenly announced out of nowhere.
'Ruby, how do you know she's got a man?' Charlie asked, fed up of her daughter complaining about not getting the gossip on her best friend.
'She told me.' Ruby continued to moan, getting more annoyed about everyone's lack of enthusiasm. 'She just won't tell me who it is.'
'Brax, you seen Heath today?' Casey asked hoping he had managed to change the subject subtly enough to not annoy his girlfriend but enough to stop the boring girl talk.
'Yer mate, he's been off. Grinning about some bimbo he's been getting lucky with recently.' Brax replied not paying much interest to the girls conversation. 'You wanna go meet him for a drink?'
'Yer, sounds good, let's go.' Casey replied jumping of the sofa and kissing Ruby goodbye.
Three days later...
'Hellooo.' Called April.
'Hi, April come in, Rubes has just got out the shower, she slept in. Shocking.' Charlie greeted the girl sarcastically. 'Sit down.'
'Thanks, am not surprised Rubes is always late when we meet at this time in the morning, don't know why I bother.' April laughed.
Just then April's phone went off, as she read the message a huge grin developed across her face. Charlie smiled at the girl, Ruby was right someone was making her a very happy girl. In that moment Charlie couldn't help herself, she decided to find out if her suspicions were correct or not.
'So... how long have you and Heath been together then?' Charlie blurted out. The look on April's face meant she needed no confirmation, she was indeed correct.
'How, how, did you know?' April stuttered, shocked she had been caught out by her best friends mum.
'Lucky guess.' Charlie smiled to try and reassure the girl. 'You seem to be making each other very happy.'
'I really like him, I'm just scared what people are going to say. I'm surprised you're being so calm about it.'
'Calm about what?' Ruby asked as she walked into the kitchen interrupting April and Charlie's conversation.
'Erm.' April began looking to Charlie for reassurance which she quickly received. 'The guy I've been seeing is, well it's Heath.' April blurted out closing her eyes waiting for Ruby's response.
'HEATH, AS IN HEATH BRAXTON!' Ruby shouted before running out the house.
'Why are you being so nice about it, that's the reaction I expected from everyone.' April cried.
'Hey hunny, Rubes will come round and me, I know what it's like to fall in love with someone you shouldn't. So does Brax and so does Bianca. Everyone will be fine, they just need some time.' Charlie replied comforting the young girl before calling Heath to come round.
'Buckton, what's up?' Heath asked as he entered the house before noticing his supposedly secret girlfriend crying. Unsure of what to do Heath stood there in the doorway wishing he could comfort April.
'I'm going to leave you two alone and go talk to Ruby.' Charlie got up before finishing. 'Think you should tell Brax, Bianca and Casey, that's if Ruby hasn't already.' With that Charlie left Heath and April alone to go find her daughter and persuade her not to tell everyone or to calm down the situation if she has.
