Charlie was in her office at the station when her phone rang.
'Hey.' she said.
'What time do you finish tonight?' Asked the voice, it was Brax.
'In half an hour, at 5.30.' Charlie replied. 'Why?'
'It's a surprise, I will come by your house and get you at 7.' Brax replied cheerfully.
'Ooh, can you give me a clue?' Charlie pleaded.
'Do I have to define the meaning of surprise to you?' Brax laughed.
'Can I have an idea of what to wear?'
'What you usually wear on a date!' Brax teased.
'No more clues then?' Charlie asked.
'None at all!' Brax replied.
'Well then I have got to get back to work, I will see you at 7.' Charlie told him.
'Okay 7 o'clock sharp!' said Brax.
'Bye.' said Charlie.
'Love you.' Brax told Charlie.
'Love you too.' Charlie said back.
'See ya.' Said Brax as he hung up.
'Bye.' Charlie said again.
Charlie heard a knock at the door and looked up to see Watson standing there.
'Who was that, if you don't mind me asking?' She questioned.
'Brax.' Charlie said.
'You know I am actually glad that you two are together.' Watson replied.
'Yeah,' Charlie said. 'What made you change your mind?'
'I think that you have really changed him. All of the river boys seem to have quietened down.' Watson said.
'Yeah I have noticed that too.' Charlie agreed.
'Anyway, I might take an early one since nothing seems to be happening.' Charlie said picking up her jacket.
'Any particular reason for that?' Watson teased her.
'No.' Charlie said, hiding her smile.
'Not getting ready for a date?' Watson said sarcastically.
'Maybe!' Charlie exclaimed, walking out. 'See you tomorrow.'
'Yeah, yeah. Bye.' Watson said.
On the way home from work Charlie decided to call in and see Brax at Angelos
'Hey!' Brax said as he saw Charlie enter through the door. 'I thought you said you don't finish until 5.30?'
'Well nothing was really happening so I knocked off early.' Charlie said smiling walking over to give Brax a kiss.
'Well if this is your idea of trying to get me to tell you what we are doing tonight it's not going to work!' Brax told her.
'Oh, please just a little hint!' Charlie pleaded.
'Get on your knees then.' Brax said sarcastically.
'I don't think so.' Charlie said kissing Brax again. 'What about now?'
'Still no.' Brax said.
'Well then, I guess I will see you later.' Charlie said walking out, still looking back at Brax.
'Bye.' Said Brax.
Charlie heard a knock at the door and heard VJ answer it.
'Hey VJ' Said Brax
'Are you here to pick up Charlie. She's been in the bathroom for ages!' VJ told Brax.
'Really?' Brax asked.
'Ah that's enough now.' Charlie said stopping VJ from saying anything more. 'You can get back to your video game now.'
'Okay, see ya Brax.' VJ said walking out.
'Bye mate' Brax shouted after him.
'You look beautiful.' Brax told Charlie smiling.
'Thanks and I um didn't spend that much time getting ready.' Charlie said looking at Brax innocently.
'I'm sure you didn't.' Brax said leaning in to kiss her.
'I'll just grab my purse and tell Ruby we are leaving.' Said Charlie walking into the living room, Brax in tail.
'Hey Brax!' Ruby said happily.
'Hey Rubes' Brax replied.
'Ruby we are going now I will see you later okay. Don't forget to watch VJ until Leah gets home.' Charlie told her.
'Yeah okay I will, see you later.' Ruby assured her.
'Bye.' Charlie said walking out.
'See ya.' Brax told them.
'Okay so can you tell me now?' Charlie asked closing the door on her way out.
'Nope you will just have to wait and see!' Brax told her, opening the car door for her.
'Okay then. Lets go!' Charlie said enthusiastically.
Brax got in the drivers seat and drove off.
