"So where are you staying?" Charlie wondered.

"Oh I'm staying at The Sand's" JoJo replied as she sipped her tea. Leah had now joined them in the lounge.

"Are you staying long?" Leah asked.

"Well hopefully it will be permanent, I just need to find a job first" JoJo smiled.

Leah grinned widely "Well maybe I can help you with that, one of our waitresses has just gone to uni and we need someone to fill her position, if you're interested" Leah offered JoJo a job at the diner.

"Yeah ok thank you Leah" JoJo was glad of Leah's offer.

"Hey listen why don't we go out tonight and celebrate your homecoming properly" Charlie suggested excitedly. JoJo grinned widely.

Later that night Leah, Charlie and JoJo had all agreed to meet Bianca at Angelo's. Heath was working behind the bar "Who's the hottie?" JoJo grinned as the girls sat at a nearby table.

"That's Heath Braxton, he's a River Boy" Charlie frowned when she realised who had caught her sisters attention.

"He doesn't look like much of a boy to me, who wants a drink?" JoJo stood up from the table and made her way to the bar.

Heath looked up and saw this confident woman walking towards him "Hey" he grinned boyishly as she stopped directly in front of him.

"Hey can I get two bottles of white wine and four glasses please" JoJo smiled.

"You got company, that's a shame I was going to ask if I could join you" Heath flirted a little.

"Yeah well if you're still around later I might take you up on that" JoJo flirted back before picking up both bottles of wine and taking them across to the table. Leah went back to collect the glasses.

"Be careful Jo, I've seen that look before" Charlie warned as JoJo returned to the table.

JoJo had barely taken her eyes off Heath the whole evening she was out "So Jo in the last two hours we have learnt that your name is Jodie Anne Buckton and you have been in witness protection for the last 9 years" Bianca slurred.

"And she is the new waitress at the Diner" Leah giggled.

"Oh yes I forget that part and the fact you obviously have a thing for a bad boy" Bianca added.

"Don't we all" Charlie giggled "Bad boys are bad"

JoJo and Bianca burst out laughing at Charlie's drunken comment "Yes Charlie that's why they are called bad boys because they are bad" Bianca laughed.

"Maybe you should go home sweetie" JoJo suggested.

"Yeah but as long I can drop you off in the cab on the way" Charlie frowned she didn't want to leave JoJo on her own with the likes of Heath Braxton.

"Fine" JoJo replied before standing up "But I just need to do something first" she added as she walked towards Heath at the bar.

"Hey I'm gonna head off" she said to him.

"I thought you were hanging around for a drink" Heath replied, he seemed a little disappointed.

"Listen here's my number" JoJo smiled as she took a napkin and roughly jotted her mobile number on it "Call me"

Charlie frowned as she watched her sister hand heath the napkin, she decided not to comment though. The last thing Charlie wanted was an argument in the taxi on the way home.

"Bye sweetie" Charlie yelled out of the taxi window as the taxi drove away and JoJo made her way to her room. JoJo reached in her bag and took out her key card, she slotted it in and out of the door but it was no good it wasn't unlocking.

"Shit" she exclaimed as she started to lose her temper.

"Here let me" a voice said from behind her "There's a knack to it"

As JoJo turned she realised it was the man from Angelo's earlier. Not the guy she had given her number too though "Thank you" JoJo smiled as the man opened the door "I still don't know your name" she added.

"Brax" Brax replied "And you are?"

"Jodie" JoJo replied.

"Well Jodie, if there is anything else I can do for you just let me know I am right next door" Brax smiled before walking into his room.

Jodie grinned as she closed her door behind her.

Jodie was shocked to be woken up by the sound of fighting outside her door. She slipped on her white silk dressing gown and opened the door. As she walked outside she saw Brax in a fight with some guy "What the hell are you doing?" Jodie yelled. As she shouted the other guy ran off leaving Brax leant up against the wall.

"What was that about?" she asked Brax curiously.

"Just someone who fancied their chances that's all" Brax said, as he turned to Jodie she saw his cut eye and lip.

"Come inside and I can fix that for you" she said softly. Brax hesitated at first but eventually decided to follow the brunette inside her room.

"So Jodie, you never did get round to telling me who you were meeting" Brax said as he sat on the chair in front of her and she wiped the blood from his face.

"My sister" Jodie replied "Her names Charlie Buckton" Jodie noticed the look on Brax's face "You know her?"

"I know of her, she arrested my brother not long back" Brax explained "So how come you haven't seen her for a while, did you guys fall out?"

"Not exactly. I was in witness protection" Jodie replied as she put her cloth on the table "Right all done" she sighed.

"Thanks" Brax grinned as he stood up and watched Jodie take the cloth and water away "Tell me do you make a habit of patching men up in your room"

"Just the hot ones" Jodie teased.

"Is that right" Brax said as he took a step closer to Jodie, she just nodded "Your not so bad yourself"

Brax put his hand on Jodie's waist and pulled her towards him he kissed her lips gently. Jodie stepped away quickly, before pausing for a few moments. She suddenly moved forwards and grabbed Brax again, but this time kissing him more passionately.
