This chapter has some Chax in it as well as some Tegan.
The next morning Heath woke up to Watson walking back into her room wearing just a towel. "Sorry did I wake you?"
"Yea but it's ok I would be happy if I could wake up to you every morning." She felt herself blush as she got her underwear out of her draw. "Am I going to get a morning kiss at least?" he asked with a cheeky grin on his face.
She walked over to the bed sitting on the edge. Heath sat up in the bed placing his hand high on her leg. "How much time do you have before work?"
"Not enough time for that" she answered kissing his lips. Getting up she dropped her towel before putting her underwear on.
"Then that is just teasing Georgie" he groaned. He watched as she started to put on her uniform. "You know before we got together I hated that uniform now I think it's kind of sexy..."
Watson laughed as she did up her buttons. "Doesn't matter what you say I don't have time." She sat back down on the bed kissing him. "Are you working tonight?"
He shook his head "I don't think so but Brax seems to be changing his mind all the time. He seems to be sneaking round a lot and now that Tegan has shown up he is all over the place."
"Who is Tegan?" asked Watson sure she hadn't heard her name before.
"His old girlfriend. Not sure why but she is in town with her daughter Darcy. She has been trying it on with Brax but he isn't interested. Think he is too hung up on Buckton."
Watson chose to ignore his comment about Charlie instead asking "is it Brax's kid?"
"Na I don't know who the dad is. Brax has always been there for her though."
Watson looked down at her watch. "Shit! What did I say about not being late. You can stay as long as you want just make sure you lock the door on your way out" she kissed him on the lips before rushing out of the house.
"Afternoon officers" said a blond girl who was only wearing a bikini top and a very short pair of denim shorts.
"Hello Tegan" said Charlie clearly annoyed. "What can we do for you?"
"Can't I just say hello to the local police officers?" asked Tegan knowing that she was already under Charlie's skin. "I thought this was meant to be a friendly little town."
"It is but some people are harder to warm up to" answered Charlie.
Tegan looked over to where Brax was playing with Darcy on the beach. "He is so good with her. Darcy is so happy to be back and be with him."
Before Charlie could open her mouth to say anything Heath walked over to them wearing only a pair of board shorts and holding his surf board. Watson had to do her best not to look at him.
"Heath where were you last night? Brax was worried when you didn't come home!" stated Tegan. She didn't really care where he was but just wanted to make it clear to everyone that she was with Brax the night before. Watson couldn't help but think that she was missing something here. Charlie seemed annoyed at Tegan before she had even opened her mouth and now Tegan seemed to be doing everything she could to rub her relationship, or whatever it was, with Brax in her face. She knew that Brax had a thing for Charlie a while ago but she was starting to think that Charlie may have acted on it.
"I didn't know you spent the night but I was working then I spent the night at my girlfriend's place" answered Heath wondering what he had walked in on. He could sense the tension between her and Charlie. Knowing the Tegan the way he did he wondered what she had done to annoyed Charlie so fast when she had only been in town a couple of days.
"Oh Heathie I didn't know you had a girlfriend!" said Tegan stepping forward and touching his bare chest. Watson hadn't said a word the whole conversation with Tegan and right now she had to hold her tongue. It wasn't what Tegan said or the fact that was touching him that annoyed her, it was a combination of both. She watched as Tegan ran her hand down his side before finally taking a step back.
"I'm going to get the coffee's, don't worry Watson I will get yours as well" said Charlie making it clear that she didn't want Watson to come with her.
Watson watched as she left the 3 of them wondering what was going to come out of Tegan's mouth next. She didn't have to wait very long. "So your Charlie's partner, you should really keep an eye on her. Oh I think my daughter wants me" with that she left making her way over to Darcy and Brax.
Watson turned to Heath "what the hell was that all about?"
"Don't worry about Tegan, she just likes to causing trouble" Heath had known her a very long time and she had always been the same.
"You didn't see how Charlie reacted to her. She was really pushing her buttons."
Heath nodded "that's Tegan all right. She knows how to push everyone's buttons just so she can get what she wants."
She looked over to where Tegan was now playing with Brax and Darcy. "Looks like she has already got what she wants."
"Na as much as Tegan wants us to think that is all about her it isn't. Brax would do anything for Darcy and that includes putting up with Tegan but they will never be a happy little family. He knows what she is like and he doesn't want to be in a relationship like that again."
Watson nodded not really sure what to think about it. "I better go help Charlie with the coffee's. I finish at 4 today so you can come over anytime after that" she smiled at Heath desperately wanting to kiss him but knowing that she couldn't.
"Sounds good and don't worry about what Tegan said ok? She makes you think something is going on when really it isn't." He turned to see if anyone was watching before giving her hand a quick squeeze and walking down to the beach.
