Hello guys, another new story coming your way ahah! This one will probably be more fun-based and imaginative, I hope you enjoy it, and please review to let me know what you think and if I should continue!
Charlie's POV:
I exited my room wearing a short black dress, fitted tightly around my bust but flowed loosely from my waist onwards, it cut off just above my knee, I matched it with a pair of navy blue boot-style heels, I had my hair tied up into a tight bun, I slung my clutch bag over my shoulder and met Ruby in the lounge,
"My my, don't you scrub up well." She said.
"Thanks sweetie, you're looking pretty fine yourself." I glanced down at her peach dress that complimented her skin beautifully. She was wearing my black heels for the night and her hair fell in loose waves just passed her shoulders,
"Gee thanks." She said,
"Obviously trying to impress a certain Braxton hey?" She blushed slightly.
Casey and Ruby had been seeing each other for about a month now, he started going to Summer Bay high recently, Ruby had met his brothers on numerous occasions and persuaded me that they were generally good guys, despite the whole rough, bad-ass facade they put up. Unfortunately for me, I had to take her word for it, as I had never met them and held a decent conversation with either brother; they still lived in Mangrove River, and barely came down to Summer Bay, except for when they wanted to cause trouble. When she first started dating Casey, I was completely against the idea, however, his genuine personality soon gained me on side, and I thought, if his brothers are half as lovely as he was, I wouldn't mind a bit of Braxton myself, providing they were attractive of course.
"Bianca rang and said she's already there so should we get going?" Ruby snapped me out of my thoughts, I smiled at her and nodded,
"Yup, let's go." I grabbed my car keys and headed towards the door, we were going to the fundraiser party on the beach to raise awareness to breast cancer, it was mainly being done for Irene, Ruby asked if she should call a cab but I assured her I had no intentions of drinking and that it'd be fine.
-Beach party, 8:15pm.-
Bianca, Ruby, Leah and I were standing around the bar, getting in the drinks, Casey had abandoned Ruby for a few minutes to talk to some of the younger riverboys, the ones who didn't tend to get in as much trouble with the law,
"Oh look, it's Casey's brothers." I looked up to see a few riverboys heading over to Casey and co, Casey turned and walked towards us, two attractive men walking behind him, one being much more attractive than the other,
"Those are Casey's brothers?" I asked in disbelief, I glanced at Ruby and she nodded,
"Chill Charlie, they're nice, well, Heath's a bit of an idiot, but hey."
"The bad ones really are so so hot." Bianca whispered as the boys approached, Leah excused herself,
"Ooh, Miles is here." I watched her as she headed in his direction before I returned my attention back to the three boys standing before us,
"Hey Rubes." The most attractive of the two said.
"Hey kid." The other one said.
"Hey guys." Ruby replied enthusiastically,
She pointed to the most attractive, than the other one, "This is Brax, and Heath." She then pointed to me and Bianca, "This is my mom, Charlie, and Bianca."
Brax stuck out his hand in my direction, I shook it lightly before letting go and placing my hand back to my side,
"Oh, there's April, let's go Case." Ruby said.
I watched as Ruby made a swift exit with Casey, I glanced up at Brax again, he smiled at me warmly, Heath and Bianca seemed to have engaged in their own private conversation and so, Brax and I were left alone to talk, not that I was complaining.
"So Charlie, what do you do for a living?" Brax asked, I picked my drink up and took a sip of it,
"That's a secret." I replied seductively,
"Oooh, I love a woman with a bit of mystery."
"Maybe you could take a guess?" He stepped closer towards me, I bit my lip as he looked me up and down, he grinned at me before settling his gaze on mine again,
"Well, attractive lady like yourself, I'm guessing, you could be, one of those really hot nurses."
I laughed at his suggestion, "Naw."
"Lawyer?" He questioned again.
"Naw."
"Waitress?"
"No!" I yelled slightly this time,
"Chef?"
I laughed again, "You're terrible at this."
I took another sip of my wine before looking into his eyes again, "No, no, hang on, I've got it." I looked at him questioningly, "You're a nun."
I laughed before asking himself about his career, "So what do you do?"
He took a step closer to me, I looked up at him and smiled at the sexy grin he wore, "I thought you wanted me to guess what you did?"
"That's before I realised how bad you were at guessing." I gently placed my hand on his chest, the effects of my third glass of wine evidently taking their toll on me. I felt his heart beating incredibly fast, probably matching the speed of my own, "So c'mon, spill."
I dropped my hand back down to my side again,
"Well, I'm not as much of a tease as you are so I'll just tell ya, I own the restaurant above the surf club, Angelo's."
I frowned, he noticed this, "What?" He asked.
"Nothing, I just didn't realise Angelo was selling, that's all."
"Yeah, apparently he's leaving the bay too."
"WHAT?" I asked, shocked that Angelo was leaving and failed to mention it to me.
"I'm guessing you know each other and he hasn't told you?"
"You guess correctly, this time." I laughed,
"Well, maybe I could take you out sometime and you could give me a number of things to guess about to your heart's content?"
I looked up at him and smiled, "Maybe." I said softly before heading over to where Leah was.
Brax's POV:
Charlie looked up at me and grinned as I walked over to her, carrying a beer for me in one hand and another glass of wine for her in the other,
"Here, I got you this." I said as I handed her the wine.
I sat down beside her on the sand, watching the few remaining partygoers,
"Mr. Braxton, you're not trying to get me drunk are you?" She asked seductively.
"Never in my wildest dreams, Miss. Buckton." I flashed her a smiled before noticing her shivering slightly,
"You cold?" I asked, she nodded, "D'ya want a jacket?"
She raised her eyebrows at me, "You're not wearing one."
"Well, I could literally give you the shirt off my back." She laughed at me, "I'm sure you wouldn't mind, you'd get to see me half naked, don't worry, I'll pretend I didn't see you checking me out."
She grinned at me, "Really, I'm not that cold." She said smugly.
"So, what's the plan for the rest of your night?" I asked.
"I've got a date with my bed."
"Well, you know if you play your cards right, you could have me in your bed."
She laughed at my comment before closing the tiny gap between us, I felt her warm breath on my face and shivered, "And you'd like that would you?" She asked, her voice low and even sexier than before, my mouth dried up and I soon found I couldn't speak, instead I just nodded my head, she grinned before brushing her lips past my cheek as she made her way to my ear,
"I don't think so." She whispered before hopping up and heading off, swinging her shoes in her hand as she did so.
"Night Charlie!" I called after her, she turned around and winked at me before walking up the beach.
Charlie's POV:
I reached the pathway to the surf club, I slipped my shoes on before heading back to my car, assuming Ruby would be waiting there for me, I didn't get very far before a large hand covered my mouth, a strong arm was placed around my waist and I was dragged into the alley-way behind the surf club, I tried to scream, I kicked and flailed my arms and legs about but it was useless. The mystery attacker pushed me against the wall and faced me, his piercing blue eyes glaring deep into mine, his hood up tightly so I couldn't see much of his face or anything else, he placed his hand on my knee and began to slide his hand up my leg, I tried to fight using every instinct in my body but I found myself paralyzed, just how I felt when in the same situation, 19 years ago, and I knew, I just knew, that I'd be powerless to stop it.
Review and let me know your thoughts are on this please guys! (:
