Chapter 2
Charlie was woken up by the blinding light streaming through the window. She rolled over and discovered that Brax was still here. She gently nudged him.
Brax rolled, over and was squinting at Charlie. "Yes?"
"Look as much fun as last night was, it can't happen again and you can't tell people." Charlie said.
"What I thought last night was amazing. " Brax smirked. "We work so well together."
"As I said, it was just for fun" Charlie reminded him. "Now you need to get out of here without being seen and forget this ever happen,"
Brax got up and pulled his famous black tee-shirt of his head. "Alright, Whatever you say Sarge. Brax winked and left.
Charlie now laid in bed, thinking about last night; she couldn't believe she had slept with a river boy let along the gang leader. Not only was she a hypocrite but she had also put her career in jeopardy. Although she did have to admit it was fun. She could feel her tummy rumbling, knowing it was breakfast time. Charlie got up out of bed and chucked on denim shorts and a blue singlet top.
When she arrived in the kitchen, she saw Ruby cooking something.
"Hey Rubes" Charlie leant on the kitchen counter.
"Oh Hey, how was your night?" Ruby smirked at her mother.
Charlie swallowed. "Um I left early, it was boring"
Ruby let out a little giggle. "Okay, so you decided to bring somebody home"
"What no!" Charlie was astonished; she thought Ruby was out with Casey.
"Charlie, I heard you" Ruby pointed out. Charlie's faced dropped, she didn't know what to say. "So who was it?"
"It-it was nobody" Charlie stammered.
"Fine then, don't tell me"
"I'm going to the diner for breakfast, bye" Charlie left.
Charlie arrived at the diner, just in time to run into Brax.
"Hi Sarge," Brax winked. Her face went from happy to serious.
"Last night, was a once off" Charlie reminded him.
"Trust me, not for long" Brax said.
With that Brax walked out of the diner, leaving Charlie. She could feel the blood rushing through her body. She hated the effect he had on her. All she had to do was remind her he was bad for her.
"Colleen, Could I please have a flat white and a muffin" Charlie asked politely.
"Sure thing," Charlie noticed Bianca sitting at one of the tables trying to stack mandarin's on one another.
"You look like you could use a friend?" Charlie said interrupting Bianca's thoughts.
"What am I going to do Charlie?" Bianca pleaded.
"If you tell me what you're on about, I may have some advice." Charlie smiled.
"It's Heath, I got a bit tipsy last night and we kind of slept together again"
"Oh" Charlie couldn't dish out advice about this. "They are too hard to resist"
"I know right! I mean I have done it twice so far and no matter how much I tell myself- wait what?" Bianca asked, just realising what Charlie said.
"I kind of slept with Brax last night" Bianca's face dropped. Never in a million years did she think her best friend who was a cop would hook up with a river boy. "It was a once off"
"Charlie Buckton! I can't believe you" Bianca giggled.
"I know, it is so bad; you can't tell anyone also"
"I wouldn't dare!" Bianca said. "So how was it?"
"It was amazing! The best fun I've had for a while and now I can't stop thinking about him! But I have to! I could never be seen with a river boy"
"Maybe, take things slow, and if you really feel a connection, explore the options"
"That's good advice, for someone facing the same crisis" Charlie pointed out.
"Good point, maybe I'll take that as well. Look listen I have to go now, I have to mark some homework, but meet me at Angelo's for a drink tonight and we will continue our conversation"
Charlie smiled and said her goodbye. Her coffee and muffin was ready so she decided to have breakfast on the beach. She found a nice spot and sat down, thinking deeply what Bianca had said. Bianca was right all she needed to do was take things slow and she would really know if the attraction to Brax was just a passing phase or not.
A little while after Charlie decided she would go to Angelo's to make a reservation.
"I knew you couldn't resist me" Brax said, as he saw Charlie walk in.
Charlie smiled at him. "Don't get a big head, you're not that great. I'm actually here to make a reservation."
"Oh, so why did you come in when you could've called" Brax paused. "Wait, I know because you couldn't resist"
Charlie laughed, "Whatever you say, just makes a reservation for 7pm for 2"
"Have a hot date do we?" Brax said walking to the bar.
"No, I am catching up with Bianca"
"I bet you're just coming here to spy on me and heath" Brax smirked.
"Whatever you say" Charlie said strutting out of the restaurant.
