The day after Charlie and Brax's first date, Charlie woke up happy. She was cheerful and felt on top of the world for the first time in ages.

"Hey it's Charlie. Thankyou for last night, I enjoyed it so much. Hopefully we can meet up again soon? :)" She texted through at 8:00 on Saturday morning.

10 minutes later, he texted her back... "Thank god, I was hoping you would like my charm! I can definitely see us meeting up again very soon! Brax x"

As Charlie sat on her bed, admiring the text message and reading it over and over, Ruby knocked and walked in.

"Hello- har! How was last night? Please tell me everything!"

"Rubes it was amazing. Change that- he is amazing. Turns out he is the one buying Angelo's. That was the best first date by far that I have ever been on. He knew how to make me smile and he's just such a sweet person. He dropped me home last night and walked me to the door. Then he kissed me goodnight- but it was a hesitant kiss incase I thought it wasn't appropriate or something. Then I kissed him back. I just want to see him again right now!" Charlie said to Ruby talking very fast and spitting out all her sentences in excitement.

"Gosh Charlie! You have known him one day! You sound excited!

"I know I do... But it felt so right. After that, I really believe that it could be something amazing. I wish I could talk to him now!"

"Well why don't you text him and ask to meet up? I'm sure after asking for your number when you'd spoken for 2 minutes and kissing you first- I'm sure he's a keen as you are."

"Your right. I'm going to text him.."

"Hey it's me (Charlie) again! Do you wanna catch up today? Maybe at the beach again like yesterday? X"

"I knew it was you- I've already saved your name to my phone book... I'll meet you at the beach in 30 mins yeah? Looking forward to it! xx"

Charlie put her white bikini on with a see through beach dress over the top. She farewelled Ruby then started walking down to the surf club, where she picked up 2 juices for them both. She walked down to the beach and sat where she was lucky enough to meet Brax the other day.

"Hi there Miss Buckton!" Brax said coming down the beach with nothing but a pair of boardies. Charlie smiled as she studied his amazing body until he sat down beside her.

"Like what you see?" He asked smiling.

"What do you mean?"

"I saw you, checking my body out as I came over here. Charlie I've even made you blush- you must like what you see!" He replied smiling as he bumped her shoulder in a playful way.

"Okay fine. I have to admit you are really hot. I didn't think I'd ever see a body like that in Summer Bay. I got you a juice. Here you go.."

"Thank you for this! Do I sense your trying to change the subject though."

"Did you want me to brag about your perfect body to you a little more?"

"No, it's okay! I really enjoyed last night! Your one amazing lady! I kinda wanna keep hanging out."

"Do you wanna go for a swim?" Charlie asked smiling at Brax.

"I thought you didn't like going swimming! I thought you preferred to just chill and tan in the sand!"

"Well if I have good company I like to go swimming"

"Have you ever being surfing before Charlie?"

"No, but it's looks really scary. It's not something I'd ever master. I'd look quite the fool actually on a surf board. I'd be up for trying though!" She laughed.

"I'm going to teach you a little bit."

"Does this mean it's kind of a second date?"

"Call it whatever you want Charlie! As long as I get to kiss you again afterwards."

"I'm pretty sure that can be arranged!" Charlie said pecking his lips.

"Hey Charlie, back it up a second! That's not a proper kiss!" We both laughed at each other..

"Well, take me surfing then you can show me how to do it properlly!"

"Done deal! I'll get the board, be back in a sec!" Brax said running up the exit of the beach.

Charlie sat there, finishing her juice sucking the rest up loudly. She looked at Brax's and noticed he still had some left.. "Hey, isn't that mine cheeky?" Brax asked returning jokingly.

"We'll share the rest!"

"Wow, Miss Charlie. You really live life on the edge don't you? Your a cop, you share drinks and you want me to teach you to surf!"

"Let's go!" She said as she stood up taking the see through dress off and chucking it on the sand. "What are you waiting for Brax?" Charlie noticed staring at her.

"Just admiring your gorgeous body! Are you a model or something? You look like you could win Miss World or whatever it is called?"

"Your a dag! Come on!" Charlie taking me hand and pulling me into the water behind her.

Once knee deep in water, Brax wrapped his arms around Charlie and turned to face him. "I really like you Charlie. I know that may sound stupid because I've only spent time with you today and last night."

"I pretty much feel the same. I woke up wanting you to be with me. And you make me blush which is really embarrassing." Charlie replied looking away from Brax purposely as she felt her face getting hotter and hotter.

Both lent in so their lips and eyes were only centimeters away from each other. Brax started the kiss off slowly. His gentle lips soft on Charlie's mouth. As the kiss intensified, he lifted Charlie up in the water. She wrapped her legs around his waist clinging to him. Brax's hand rubbed circle in her back. A wave came and knocked their concentration off pulling them apart.

"Owww. Brax I think the surf board has hit me on the hip."

Brax looking at her quickly then realised she was probably bleeding from the bottom prongs smashing into her. He put one arm around her back and the other around her back legs scooping her up. Brax carried her from the water and laid her down gently on her towel. He grabbed his towel and wrapped it around the messy wound tightly.

"How are you feeling Charlie? He asked packing everything around them up quickly. "Sore but okay I guess."

"I'm going to take you to the hospital okay? You need that wound checked out and cleaned up properlly.

"I'd love to argue with you but it's probably the best idea."

Brax carried Charlie again and helped her into the car while dumping everything in the back part of the ute.

"Hi there. What have you done to yourself?" a nurse asked as Brax again carried Charlie, this time to the Emergency Department Ward.

"A surf board hit my hip in the water. I realized it was bleeding and it probably needed to be looked at."

"Okay, right this way. I'll get a doctor to fix it up for you now." She replied. Brax laid her onto the bed as the nurse unwrapped the towel from around her waist and inspected the wound. "It looks very sore! You should be fine though."

"Hey Charlie, how are you?" Sid asked looking at her hip.

"I'm okay, it hurts quite a bit though!"

"I bet it does!" Sid said as he put a pair of gloves on and starting fixing it up.

"There you go Charlie, it should be fine now. I'd like you to stay for another hour or so if thats okay." She nodded as Sid farewelled and walked out of the room.

"Do you want me to call anyone for you Charlie?" Brax asked, who was sitting next to her.

"Um no it's okay. There is something I have to tell you though." Charlie replied her palms starting to become sweaty.

"You look so nervous! Please don't tell me you have another boyfriend or something like that."

"No I'm single, don't worry. I have a daughter though."

"A daughter- seriously? How old is she- 2 or 3 or something?"

"No, she's in 16 and in year 12." She replied studying his reaction.

"OMG, I would have never picked that one Charlie."

"Yeah... Her name is Ruby. I had her when I was young. She lives with me and my 2 other flat mates"

"You really are full of surprises!" He laughed. "I'd live to meet her one day. I'm sure she's beautiful if she anything like you."

"She is... I don't think I ever said thankyou for bringing me here. I really appreciate it. It's a shame we got interrupted though, I was really really enjoying myself out there."

"No problem. I was too. Maybe next time, we'll forget about the surfing and just have a swim."

"We in the water for less then 5 minutes! I didn't even get round to starting on the surf board!"

"It's a shame. I don't think you'll be back in the water for at least a week too!"

"Come here." Charlie said quietly as she shuffled over to make room for Brax to sit down. He sat laid down next to her, putting her arm around her as she snuggled into his chest.

"I glad that you were my knight and shining armor."

"Anytime Miss Charlie for you. I must say it was fun carrying you every where. It's a dream come true actually!"

"Your making me blush- stop it!" Charlie replied slapping his arm playfully.

"Ow, there's no need for violence in this hospital. Thought been a cop you'd know better Miss Charlie."

"Being a police officer is my day job. I'm not always a goodie-goodie outside of work."

"That's a good thing to know. I like a lady that's afraid to part-ay!"

"Oh I definitely like to let my hair down!"

Charlie got realised a short time later. "I'm going to drop you home... You shouldn't be driving"

"I didn't bring my car anyway. So I was kind of waiting for you to offer! Actually just quietly.."

"That's one of the things I really like about you- your really cheeky... And you blush a lot!" He later added when he noticed her face go red.

"I go red, because you always have nice things to say about me. It's kind of makes ne embarrassed!" Charlie answered honestly.

"No need to be embarrassed! It's not like I'm lying or anything miss Charlie."

They arrived shortly at Charlie place. Brax turned the engine off and faced Charlie. She leant in and gave Brax another passionate kiss. "I'd better get inside. Thankyou for today."

"Please don't thank me when you ending up in a hospital bed! That is a bit depressing.."

"Well yeah, but I got to hang with you so it was worth it..."

"I'll call you soon- yeah?" Brax asked.

"I'll be waiting. Don't leave me hanging to long Brax!"

"I wouldn't do that to you. Your far to pretty."

"Alright, I'm gunna start blushing in a minute time to go!" She said smiling as she got out of the car and wave him away.
