Chapter 4: Beach Walk
Charlies P.O.V
I woke up to the sun streaming through my window and hitting my back, I was hot and sweaty and uncomfortable and not to mention I had a massive hang over that was making my head pound. I rolled over and looked at the clock. "3 o'clock, shit" I dragged myself out of bed and into the living room.
"Good morning, or should I say good afternoon?" Ruby called loudly from the couch.
"Nothing good about it, urgh my head!" I replied groggily.
"You're just lucky Brax brought you home last night, or you'd be waking up in a gutter somewhere"
"What he bought me home? I can't remember anything about last night" I said worriedly.
"I opened the door to find you passed out in his arms basically snoring" She said with a bit of a giggle.
I didn't answer back; I just continued to walk into the kitchen grab some aspirin and water for the hang over and walked into the bathroom to have a shower.
After my shower I went back to bed trying to get rid of this hangover that I had brought on myself. I feel asleep only to awake at 6pm and to find the house empty. The headache was still very evident so I decided to go for a walk on the beach to lift my spirits. There was something about the sand, surf and the sea breeze that could drag me out of the bottomless pit I was stuck in today.
Brax P.O.V
I was out on the ocean just wading there on my board thinking. The ocean was always a great place to think, rarely ever interrupted by anyone and there was something about the gentle rocking of the waves and the purity of the breeze that made me calm and made me relax. I was thinking of her, I don't think I had stopped since last night. Thinking back to when she was wrapped in my arms and how beautiful and peaceful she was. It was getting rather dark and the waves were completely gone now, the water was basically still. I had been out here for hours just thinking about her. I started to paddle into shore and as soon as my feet hit the sand I looked up and saw her walking down the bench towards me.
"Hey, how's the hangover?" I asked cheekily. I obviously startled her; she must not have seen me.
"Horrible, I've had a headache ever since I woke up" She sounded exhausted.
"Thought so, I knew you would nursing your wounds today" I said with a grin.
"Oh yeah um... Ruby told me you took me home last night. Thanks I appreciate it. It was hard enough waking up in my own bed I could only imagine what it would have been like waking up in a gutter."
"Nah don't even mention it. So have you seen Roman today?" I asked casually as we walked up the beach together.
"No. Why do you ask?"
"You don't remember?" I laughed. "I was walking you home and he got a little too fired up and one thing led to another and we fought" I tried to act cavalier.
"You fought! Oh my gosh. Is he okay?"
"I don't know Charlie and I honestly don't care."After I said that Charlie snickered. "I take it you two are together?" I asked.
"The other night we were, it was a mistake of many." She sighed.
"How so?" I continued to dig for the answers that I wanted.
"Old flames shouldn't reignite" She said while looking me in the eye, she was probably hoping I wouldn't ask any more questions.
"Oh" was all I could manage. She must have slept with him. Roman 1 Brax 0 I thought. But at least she regretted it that was a start. I didn't know Roman very well but I knew he wasn't going to be the type to just back off and why would he? Charlie is 1 in a million. Smart, Sexy and Fun a rare combination to find in any one girl. We continued to walk down the beach together our hands slightly bumping up against each other, I just wanted to grab hers and hold it but I knew she wouldn't accept it. "Do you want a lift home?" I asked looking up to where my Ute was parked.
She looked back the way she came and was considering her options before she looked up at me and smiled. "Sure". I lead the way, putting my surf board on the rack attached to the top of the Ute and pulling on the shirt I was wearing before I went for a surf and slipped into the driving seat. As I was reversing out of my car park I looked up and saw Hayley standing about 4 metres away staring at me and Charlie. Acting as if I didn't see her I put the car in gear and cruised off towards Charlie's place.
"Hayley won't mind will she? About you giving me a lift?" She said breaking the silence.
"It doesn't matter if it does" I said coldly, looking at Charlie with a smirk on my face. Her facial expression said it all she was confused. "I broke it off with her last night" I knew she was going to ask why so I continued before she could "Finally realised she wasn't my type" I said looking back at the road.
"Oh ah I'm sorry" she said awkwardly not knowing what else to say.
"No you're not" I said looking back at her and smiling. "I'm not" I added. Winking at her causing her to laugh slightly and raise her eye brow. I missed making her laugh. I missed waking up and having her l in my arms asleep, I missed waking her up and I missed the little giggle she'd make every time I kissed her in the morning. I also missed the sex; it was how our relationship started off. It was simply just sex, sex and more sex and I enjoyed it. But then somewhere along the way my feelings got caught up in the gist of it I fell for her, fell for her hard. Soon enough I found myself thinking about her constantly and watching the clock, counting down the hours until I got to see her again. I have never been in love before not with any girl, I've had numerous amounts of flings and one night stands but never anything as stable as what I had with Charlie. Although I didn't know if what I had with Charlie could be called stable, we were always sneaking around, trying to find the time so we could be with each other again, it was a dirty little secret but I enjoyed it. I turned onto her street and stopped in front of her house.
"Thanks" was all she said.
"Don't mention it" I replied leaning in towards her. I obviously caught her off guard and I didn't realise I leaned in so close to her. I could feel her breathe on my face I looked her in the eyes wondering if she wanted this as bad as I did. She was looking at the floor, I moved even further into her as my nose grazed the side of her face, I put my face next to hers and nuzzled my nose into her hair as I breathed on her neck. She shifted her weight so she was leaning further into me as she mimicked my movements, she crept her nose towards my ear. I could feel her hot breath on my neck; it was too much for me I couldn't play games any longer. I moved my face back so it was directly in front of hers except this time she was looking at me, she looked so beautiful I used my thumb and fore finger to gently grasp her jaw the way I always used to when I needed her to look at me. She smiled and I leant in and brushed my lips with hers, she didn't pull back so I kissed her and much to my delight she kissed me back with force. I raised my left hand and held onto the side of her face as I continued to kiss her, our kisses getting more and more passionate. I edged my tongue into her mouth, she tasted so good, better than I could remember, or maybe it seemed that way seeing it had been so long since I last kissed her. Minutes passed and she had her hands on either side of my face tangled in my hair and I still had one hand on her face and one around her tiny waist trying to pull her in closer to me. She crept her tongue inside my mouth and gently touched hers with mine sending me crazy as I responded by breaking our kiss and moving down to her neck. She loved it when I kissed her neck, she was so sensitive there it usually makes her moan and make cute noises. I was kissing her neck crazily when she moaned.
"Brax" she leant her head further back allowing me to kiss her more and making her moan "Brax, I have to go." She said with regret in her voice. I continued to kiss her neck and then started to slowly make my way up her neck, along her jaw line and back to her lips. She feverishly kissed me back before she kissed me once more and pulled away. "I have to go" she added once more before releasing her seat belt and opening the door. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back for one last kiss before she smiled climbed out of the car and closed the door. I watched her as walked up the drive way and disappeared into her house. I sighed; I didn't know where this left us. Are we back together or are was that just a hook up? At this point I didn't really care, I was on a high. Her kiss was electric way better than Hayley's. Her's had no passion, had no pop, had no fireworks. But Charlie's on the other hand were amazing. I smiled to myself as I started the Ute and headed home.
