Found each other

Do not own Home & Away or its characters, I just own Nicole.

Hey sorry iv been busy lately. Also in this story the braxtons live in the house they are renting from Roo and tegan has died so Darcy will be making a apperance in this story, so here is a new chapter enjoy :)

I could finally see summer bay and it looked beautiful and the rain had finally stop falling and the sun was out, i couldn't wait to be able to have a look around and go for a surf. I was still looking out the window when Casey spoke for the first time in ages.

"So where are you staying Nicole?"
"Um, Im not sure actually I didn't realy think of it, this trip was kind of spontaneous" I then gave him an embarassed smile.
"you could stay at the caravan park, im sure they have plenty...But it is holidays so" I pated casey's arm and said a thanks.

"Hey, you could always stay at are place, its not like brax will mind any way?" this was Heath that said this and i was shocked so i turned and looked at him and of course he had that smirk on his face.
"ya becasue you would be so fun to live with and i would just LOVE to live with 3 guys, wait 2 guys and 1 kid actually."
"HEY!" casey had this sad look on his face and Heath was just laughing.
"Not you Casey i was talking about your brother over here, he acts like a kid but the stuff he says are very kid like though." when i said that Heath just did a little chukle like he knew i was talking about him in the first place.

"Here we are, you can get out now." Hetah said this of coarse, just trying to annoy me.
"well can one of you get out so i can too?" obviously they would get that one of them had to get out first, idiots.

Heath just shook his head and got out, mostly because he was the one that had to get my board off his ute. while he was doing that i grabed my bags and went to say goodbye to casey.

"hey Cas i'll see ya around ok?"
" Ya, you seem cool i suppose we can hang" he said smiling
"oh your such a funny man Cas, ok see ya" and i waved at him and he did the same. I then walked to the back of the ute where Heath was.
"Here's ya board"
"Thanks i really appreciate you giving me a ride or i would of tried to get icked up by another creepy guy"
"you mean that guy before me and Cas came along?" heath said raising his eyebrow like he already knew the answer.
"Actually i was talking about you but whateva"

"Really funny, next time ill leave you on the side of the road"
" i doubt it, um know i shall leave cause these bags are getting heavy, but i'll see ya round heath" after that i smiled and then started to walk towards the front of the caravan park and of coarse all heath did was laugh and got back in to hi ute and drove away. thats all that heath seemed to do was laugh at things that weren't even funny, but hey i could live with that.

As i walked up to the door I looked around to see what was happening, I saw kids running around after eachother and having fun, I smiled at that just remembering when i used to play with my 6 year old sister ellie, but every thing has changed so quickly and now i started to think and i didn't realise i finally made it to the door, until it opened.

"Hello?" a lady with blond hair and some intersing clothes,
" um hi, i was wonder if i could get a caravan to stay in for awhile?" the lady then smiled at me and i felt relly welcomed and i frogot all about the things i was thinking about.
"Sure we do, come in" she steped aside so i could come in, then stuck out her hand for me to shake.
"welcome to summer bay im Marilyn and you are?" "im Nicole" i gave her a nice smile.
"We used to have another girl live here named Nicole. but seh moved away to the city with her boyfriend angalo and baby george, sorry im rambling"
"Na its fine, its good to know"

Marilyn then walked over to a desk and checked some stuff out in a book and then turned back to me. " how long will you be staying?"

"im not really sure, just until i get a job maybe and find some where more suitable to stay" i looked at her nervously, while playing with the strings on my bag.
"That's fine, just pay $55 at the end of a fortnight, okay?" she then handed me a key "okay will do" as i was abut to walk back out the door she stopped me.
"excuse me but i forgot i need your whole name" she smiled really sweetly at me,
"it's Nicole Kroemer" then i walked out the door and grabed my board.

I finally found my caravan and i unpacked everything...well nearly everything and now i was walking around the small town, that's when i saw the beach. it looked beautiful so i walked down the slop, while taking off my shoes and sunk my feet into the sand as soon as i got to it. I always loved the beach, the water it was just peaceful adn i loved to surf so that was a bonus about loving the beach.

As i stared to walk futher down the beach you could see more and more people, mostly familys with their kids having fun, there are some surfers and sunbathers here and there. I started making my way up a little path, where i saw people come and go from a place that looked like a diner most likely.

It was busy when i first got inside the diner, there was only about two tables left, so i just decide i would find some where else to have lunch. as i turned around to walk out the door i ran right into someone.

"Uhh im so sorry" the person said i realised when they spoke it was a girl, she had blond hair and she looked close to my age and was really pretty,
"no it's fine i wasn't watching where i was going", thats when i decided to introduce myself, "hi im Nicole"
"Indi, are you just vistiting?" she smiled at me, thats when i realised even though iv only met a few locals they are all really nice and they are nearly always smiling and it felt like along time since iv seen people smile this much and me smiling to i was officaly happy here.
"im not sure right now im staying at the caravan park and i only just got here about...35 minutes ago"
"thats cool, um do you want to have lunch with me get to know some locals or have you already eaten?"
"ya that would be awsome and it would be good to make some friends" indi then began walking to what looked like the last table and sat down. we sat there just looking at what we might want to eat. "what do you want to eat, i'll get it so we don't lose are table, you okay with that?"
"totally."

After lunch with indi we both went down the beach, thats where i met april and ruby, they were just sunbathing. i liked them they were a little younge for me but they were alot of fun we just sat on the beach just talking about random things. we just all sat in silence for about 5 minutes untill we heard really loud laughter, just a little way down the beach. i was the only one out of us 4 looked over at the noise and saw that it was a bunch of guys and some of them were pretty hot and that started me think as to why the girls weren't looking at them.

then these girls walked past that group of guys and they all whistled and said some inappropriate stuff and then from beside me i heard someone scoff and i turned to look at them it was indi.

"why did you just scoff?" indi looked at me for a second and then april spoke next,
" their the riverboys, the're bad boy surfer dudes"
"and their bad news" indi cut in.
"so what your saying is their pigs and i should stay away from them?" i looked at them like they were crazy cause like i thought most of those guys were pretty hot and they surfed so ca-ching.
"not all of them are bad or pigs the'res one or two people that are good" ruby said this and i thought ruby would of been against them like her friends but she kind of wasn't.
"your just saying that cause your dating one of them" april lokked smug when she said that and i could't help but laugh and i think indi thought the same too.

"what ever" ruby just brushed it off like shes been told the same thing tones of times and considering the way the other 2 girls talked about the riverboys she problely did. after a minute of silence ruby spoke up again,
"Hey theres Casey" my head snaped up when she said that name, "oh and Heath" she sounded upset when she saw those two together and when she said those names together my head snapped around to see them walk towards the 'riverboys' and they got greeted with claps on the back and punches in the arm.
"so..." i began turning now towards ruby, "are you going out with Casey?"
"ya we've been going out for about 4 months" ruby smiled really big and i couldn't help but smile at her happiness. ruby then looked at me cause as soon as she stoped talking i started looking back at the riverboys and i couldn't help but look at Heath and his muscles cause right now he wasn't wearing a shirt and i could see all the tatoos he had, right now i thought i was dreaming and i never wanted to wake up.

All of a sudden a hand came out of no were and right in front of my face as soon as i saw it i hit it away and continued staring at heath, just when i thought they would also lave me alone april spoke,

"what are you looking at Nicole?" i just didn't answer cause i was still staring, then i felt 3 girls gather around me and look over my shoulders at the boys too, i knew what they were trying to do, they were trying to see what i was staring at.
"your staring at heath really?" and that was the sweet voice of indi destracting me from my task.
"uh ya i am...so?" thats when i gave her a sweet smile casue i knew what they were all thinking.
"he's bad trouble Nicole" ruby and april said that together and that really creeped me out,
"well he seemed like a nice guy" shrugging my shoulders as i said this,

"WAIT! you've talked to him?" april said with confusion written on her face.
"ya i almost had to walk all the way to summer bay, but um lucky heathand casey came past, they were really nice i was walking in the rain"
"wow, that does NOT sound like heath at all, i understand casey but heath ehh" ruby shrugged her soulders after saying all that.

all i did was laugh and stand up getting ready to leave,
"hey im going to get going back to the caravan park and unpack the rest of my stuff, but ill see ya around?"
all three of them looked up at me and said ok, just as i was about to walk away indi spoke up again,
"hey Nicole why don't we have dinner tonight?" i smiled at indi and said the first thing that popped into my head
"well indi i don't really swing that way but we could try one date"

the look on indi's face was priceless, all that ruby and april were doing was laughing " indi i was joking, remember you told me you had a boyfriend? and dinner sounds great, you guys want to come the more the merrier" i said that all while trying to keep from laughing at the look indi was giving me.

"Ya sounds cool ill be there" ruby being the first one to stop laughing,
"Ya great we'll see you later nicole" april said while waving goodbye. Indi just waved and i walked away laughing at the expression on indi's still.

it was around 6 when i went to meet the girls at the diner. when i got there i saw their table it just had april, indi, some scrawny looking guy with dark hair, and two blonde hair guys, one of the guys was taller and sitting really close to indi so i guessed he was indi's boyfriend Romeo and the other guy was shorter then that Romeo guy and i had no idea who he was.

as soon as i got to the table i sat down, april and indi were the first ones to say a hello the guys just kind of stared and i didn't know why exactly, the staring stopped when indi introduced the 3 guys.

" Nicole this is my boyfriend Romeo and this is my geeky brother Dex and he's with april and this is Xavier and Guys this is are new friend Nicole"
"Hey" and "Hi" were said to me from the guys right after the introductions. all i did was say a quiet hi, i used to be good at saying hi to so many new people but now days depending on how many im practicly shy and i hate that.
"where's Ruby?" i said looking at the two girls,
"she's coming soon she just had to do some stuff first apparently" indi said finally looking away from Romeo, i thought it was cute how they were towards eachother and hopefully one day i'll have somthing like that, hopefully.

all of a sudden a pile of people come into the diner and it was the riverboys and it looked like they were having a great time, from beside me i heard a really deep sigh and then someone whispering,

"great night is totally ruined by these idiots" you could tell by Xavier did not like the riverboys at all with the way he was staring at them, well glaring is more like it.

Then ruby finally walked in with casey and heath who was talking to another guy and he must of been brax cause as the guy walked away from heath to sit at the table heath yelled his name. heath then turned to casey and wrapped his arm around his shoulder and whispered somthing in his ear and casey just pulled a face and pushed heath away with ruby towards are table.

i was just watching heath as he walked over to the gang, when his head turned towards are table probley wondering who casey was hanging with and thats when he saw me and gave me a wink and one of his smirks and i just did the same thing back, which made him smile more.

"did he just wink at you?" that was Xaviers voice that ringed in my ear, people at the table turned their heads to look at me even casey but when i looked at him he had this knowing smile on his face which i did not like at all and the girls already knew the answer too it,

" actually i think he winked at you xavier" his answer to that was a scoff and the people at are table just laughed
"hey again Nicole" casey sat down right next to ruby and across from me,
"Hey its been too long, i missed you...not" i said that with a smirk on my face the whole time.
"that hurt" casey just laughed, the other guys at the table didn't question how i knew casey they just started a new convosation.

the dinner was great i started to get more confident as the night went on. An hour into the dinner the riverboys got kicked out so they had to leavemto that ment that couldn't smirk in heaths direction or just look at him, through out the whole night i had no idea what was going on with me, i don't even know if you can fall for a guy in just one day.

but after the whole riverboy thing we all satyed for another hour and a half and i did have so much fun and all of them are really nice it was great.

"well i'll see you guys around okay?" i said while walking out of the diner,
"defantley seeya" ruby said and the others had similar comebacks too and we all started heading in different directions cause we all were doing different stuff, i think indi and romeo were going for a walk on the beach, dex was walking april home and xavier, casey and ruby were going just going home.

it was dark but i could handle it, summer bay looked like a nice town anyway. as i was going around a corner someone jumped out and scared, thats when i whiped my arm out and punched them right in the gut, them i reconised thier voice,

"Heath? what the hell dude" i said as i pulled him towards light so i could see it was him, for a second a thought he was coughing but he was just laughing, at me idiot.
"your an idiot you know that?...dick"
"oh don't get so angry there, it was a little fun but you should have seen your face, funny as hell" he smiled down at me and i just punched his arm which once again made him laugh.
"hey come for a walk with me" heath wasn't asking he was telling me that i should walk with him,
"your not going to scare me again are you?" and gave him my most scariest look i could,

"i promise you i won't" saying that he put his arm around my shoulder and lead us to the beach, with his arm around me i couldn't help but but my arm around his waist and grab on to some of his singlet and move closer to his body, i then realised he was looking down at me with that stupid smirk and a raised eyebrow,
"what im cold, it's not like we have jackets on us" what a stupid excuse for myself, stupid. heath just chuckled and pulled me closer to his self.
"do ya want to sit or are you scared you might freeze to death?"
"your so funny" i repeted what he said earlier today, we then took a seat on the sand and heath pulled me close again, it was weird casue it just felt natural and that i belonged in his arms, wait what nicole, you felt like you 'belonged in his arms' what has gotten into you.

the next time you look at the time on your phone its 9 so heath and i have been talking for about an hour,

"what you looking at?" heaths voice cut through my consentration on the phone
"uh, just the time"
"well do you need help reading the time on your phone or have you got it under control"
"hahaha, iv got it" heath then spoke up again before my mind started to wonder off,
"so why did you come to summer bay?" i just looked at him debating in my head whether i shold tell him or not,
" it was just ruff in the city not much surf and i had to get away so i got on the bus"
"without a ticket" heath said laughing i started laughing too,
"ya i didn't really think just acted"
"so what happened to make you leave so fast?" he asked the question i was hoping he wasn't going to ask,
"can we please not talk about this anymore please" i looked up at him and pleaded with him through my eyes and he just nodded, which i was so happy for.

"so you surf righ?" nodding a 'yes' he continued "we should surf together soon?" he looked so hopeful when he wa asking me, there was no way i was turning him down why would i want to anyway.
"maybe, i might be busy...but ya we should"
"awsome, ok lets get ya back to your place" he stood
"ya mean my caravan?'' i said laughing asi stood up, i was about to start walking when heath grabbed my arm and turned me around, it didn't help that i wasn't very tall so i only stood about his chest.
"hey weres my kiss for being a great guy?" i finally looked up at heath and he had this hugh smile on his face,
"you want me to kiss you, i was cold and you didn't even give me your jacket?" heath stood there confused for a minute and them he spoke

" i didn't have a jacket Nicole" he was staring at me like i lost my mind, thats when i coludn't help but burst out laughing
"you should of seen your face it was funny as, thats mild payback for scaring me before you actaully thought i lost my mind did't you?"
"you are so weird" he pulled a face
"if i weird then ill just go" i pulled a sad face and started to turn around and once again he pulled me back to face him

"i was joking" he started to smile again and i smiled back and he then pulled me really close so are bodys were touching and he bent his head down so are lips where almost touching, after what felt like a life time heath pulled my face right infront of his so are lips touched, it felt great i couldn't get anough of him, so my hand went from his shoulder to his hair were i threaded my fingers through it. his hands stayed on my waist loosening and tightening once in awhile.

When i couldn't breath anymore i pulled away and let my hands fall from his hair too his shoulders and sliding down to his chest were i left them.

"i should get back to my caravan" i said in a whisper, looking in to heaths eyes,
"Ya you probley should" but instead of stepping away like i thought he would he grabbed my face and kissed me again, when we finally stopped again he grabbed my hand and started to pull me with him,
"let's get you back then" when i looked at his face he had a smile and then i realised so did i.

Hey guys i hope you liked this chapter and yes i know it's long but i really hope it was good. so if you can reveiw and send me ideas if you want and i'll try to put them in the story.
