This is my first H&A oneshot, I hope you enjoy.
For a disclaimer, see my profile.
This time, Brax wasn't going to let Charlie slip through his fingers.
This time, Brax was going to show Charlie how much he cared about her.
This time, he was going to show her how much he loved her.
"Brax, what are you doing here?" An irritated Charlie Buckton asked, standing at the door, her arms folded. "I think I made it pretty clear that I don't want to see you."
"I'm so sorry Charlie."
"Yeah? How many times have you told me that?" Charlie asked bitterly, looking Brax straight in the eye. "Goodbye Brax."
"Before I do, I want to show you something."
"And then you'll leave me alone?" Charlie asked hopefully.
Brax nodded.
"Fine then, if it will get you off my back." Charlie finally answered, letting Brax lead her to his car.
The drive was a silent if not awkward one.
After what seemed like forever, Brax pulled up at Angelo's.
"Angelo's?" Charlie asked skeptically.
Brax jumped out of the car and went around to Charlie's side of the car to open her door for her. She shot him a look before getting out of the car.
"Follow me." Brax said softly.
Charlie nodded and followed him into the restaurant. She gasped, looking around.
The restaurant was completely empty of people. The lights were dimmed, candles were everywhere. Her eyes fell on a table in the middle of the room. Unlike the other tables, the tablecloth was red, a single rose in a vase in the middle of the table.
"What is this?" She finally managed to get out.
"My attempt to make things up to you." He gestured to a chair. "Sit."
Charlie obeyed, her eyes on Brax. "Your going to have to do a lot more for me to forgive you."
"I know what I did is unforgiveable." Brax agreed.
"You lied to me Brax." Charlie said, her voice breaking.
Brax sat down opposite her, and took one of her hands. She didn't resist, and took a sip of the wine that Brax had poured for her.
Brax looked her straight in the eye. "I love you Charlie Buckton."
"Excuse me?" Charlie asked in disbelief.
"You heard me." Brax said. "I love you. I love your personality, your smile and your quirks. I love how you gave me a chance even with my reputation."
Charlie was lost for words. "Brax..."
"It's okay if you don't want me back," Brax continued. "But you should know that I'm going to fight for you. I'm not going to let you go without a fight."
"Maybe," Charlie finally said, after a couple of minutes of silence. "Just maybe, I love you too."
"Really?" Brax asked.
"Yeah," Charlie said, getting up off her seat. "Otherwise I wouldn't be doing this." She leant down, wrapped her arms around him, and let all her emotions out, in one intense, passionate kiss.
Wow, I hope you guys liked it :)
