"Charlie how long more until Joey comes back? It's just not the same around here without her. I really miss her you know" I don't think she realises just how Joey not being here affects her mood…
"Rubes, she said two months she didn't give an exact date yet I guess it depends on the weather really" Charlie raised her head to look across at her girl not so little now thou… "I miss her so much" she sighed "I can't wait to have her back in my arms" her last sentence was barely audible, but Ruby caught every word and the emotion that came with it.
"Yeah I'm sure that's not all your waiting for, sexathon here we go" she smirked at her own thoughts.
"Ruby" Charlie began sternly "What was that?"
Oh shit. That wasn't my thoughts was it "Eh Charlie I didn't mean to say it out loud, I'm sorry" how embarrassing, we all know it's the truth but voicing it Ruby, geez what is up with you!
Charlie stood up and placed her coffee mug in the sink, she slowly walked towards the door into the sitting room, half turning on her heels her gaze met Ruby's "But you know what Rube's, your dead right" she winked at her and continued into the room. Sexathon definitely doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Now isn't the time for raunchy thoughts Charlie, get ready for work…
Charlie sat at her desk strumming her fingers on the desk. Joey may be safe out at see, but there's no denying the fact Robbo's on the prowl. We have to catch him and get him put away before Joey gets back. It's too much of a coincidence him being here in Summer Bay. He must have motives, and I hope Joey isn't one of them… Drawn away from her thoughts by the knock at her door Charlie looked up "Come in"
"Hey Angelo, what's the matter?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing Senior, you haven't gotten out of that sordid mood since Joey left. Come out with us tonight, just for a couple at the Surf Club, Me, you, Watson and Fitzy and whoever else wants to come?"
"Thanks for the offer Angelo but I'd rather not, I'm going to stay here late and catch up"
"Charlie, come on, one drink won't do you any harm, we're all going to be there, let your hair down for the night, it'll do you good, we just want to help"
"Thanks Angelo, and I really appreciate it. Look I'll think about it ok?" She smiled up at him; he really was trying his best.
"Great, about 8:30, see you then"
"Hey Angelo can you send Watson on in please, thanks" Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea after all, getting wasted sounds like a pretty good idea. Charlie picked up her mobile; Shit she still hasn't gotten any of my messages since she left, I knew reception would be bead, but not this bad.
"Senior, Rosetta said you were looking for me?" Watson was at the door leaning against the frame.
"Yeah I was just wondering if there are any leads on the Robbo case?"
"Actually I went down to the bay again this morning with Rosetta and interviewed Gibsy for a change, seeing as he is the last known person Robbo was see with. Gibsy said Robbo asked came looking for a job, they were over staffed at the time but he knew him form working in New Zealand, so of course he obliged. He was meant to leave a few weeks ago but he never turned up. Gibsy wasn't there himself the morning that trawler was meant to set sail, but Robbo never turned up apparently, his insurance forms were still there later that day unsigned. Gibsy said no one gets aboard with out signing them, so I don't know why he never turned up. That's the last he heard of him. Maybe he's moved on again?"
"I don't know Watson, it doesn't make much sense for him to look for a job, go to so much effort to get but, and then move away" Things really don't add up. There's something missing here but what is it…
"Yeah I know that's what I thought too, Gibsy seemed pretty annoyed with him over the whole thing, said he'd be in touch if he heard anymore from him. Where do you think we should go from here Senior?" Charlie looks so uneasy, this really isn't her. She never get's involved in a case. Granted yesterday she thought Joey was on boars but all that was cleared up. I don't know why she's still looking worried.
"Senior… if there's something going on here we need to know as much as you do. This is a serious case and there's no need to tell you more people could be in danger if we don't have all the relevant information."
"No Watson, you know all you need to know, keep a look out for him and keep a car on patrol down by the docks. That's all" He's definitely not out on a boat, and he doesn't seem to be around here, he must be gone, that's the only explanation.
*******
"Wow Charlie you look great, are you going somewhere tonight?"
"Yeah actually Leah I'm going up to the Surf Club for a while with a few guys from work, might make the night go a bit faster" I still don't think this is a good idea… A drink does sound good though.
"Yeah girl, you need to get yourself out of the house, it's less than a month until Joey's back now right? At least you're on this side of it. It'll go much faster now" Leah had been great to her since Joey left, never putting in or out with her or complaining over her lack of contribution to the house.
"Yeah about three weeks now so, I'm really starting to look forward to it" a smile crept across her face, it always did whenever she though of Joey.
"I better head Leah, it's ten o'clock already I was meant to go down hours ago, I'll see you in the morning, can you tell Ruby there's no point in waiting up for me I'll catch up with her tomorrow" she leant over and kissed Leah's cheek before leaving the house and starting on her walk towards the Surf Club. She really is a gem; she outs up with so much from us.
***********
"Angelo, enough with the shot's! My heads going all fuzzy" I should have eaten before we came out
She bent down towards her bag under the table it was beeping frantically. Reports; Joeys got my texts! Finally! Haven't heard anything since she's left. Whoa, ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty texts from her! They all say pretty much the same thing "Charlie, I love you so much, you are my baby, when I get home……;)" Oh Joey don't tease me I need you so bad. "I'm lying here in bed all alone, so lonely without you, wouldn't be bored if you were here…xxx J" Joey… Oh I want you… now… My want for you is so bad, I really don't think the alcohol helps babe, if you were here… What I wouldn't do to you…
"Earth to Charlie" Angelo was tickling her.
"Angelo stop it" she giggled. Guys I'm going to head, I'm WAY over the limit I need a bit of fresh air to sober me up" she stumbled in her heels why did I wear these shoes, going to be an interesting walk home… Oh Joey I can almost feel your skin on mine.
"Ok snap out of it Charlie, right your way too drunk to walk home alone, I'll walk with you, it'll do us both good to get the fresh air" Calm down Angelo she has a girlfriends… Yeah a girlfriend how HOT is that!
"Mmm my legs aren't working why not Watson?" Am I really this drunk, oh god.
"Get out of here Charlie, go get some sleep" Watson was in hysterics watching Charlie stumble out the door.
**************
"Charlie you've got a very funny expression on your face, and if I didn't know better…" I'd say you were…
"Joey text me, god I want her so bad right now Angelo" she said her voice heavy with desire for Joey.
"Ha, so I was right!" he laughed unable to believe his guess was so accurate.
"See that spot over there" she pointed and giggled to a spot by the pier. "That my good friend is where Joey made love to me for the very first time" she knew she was drunk, and knew she'd really regret it in the morning but she was so full of love for Joey right now, nothing could stop her.
That's so hot. She's so gorgeous, how can she tell me these things and not expect me to get heated up.
"Angelo, you've been so great to me, to Joey, you accepted us for what we are and didn't get all homophobic and embarrassed to be seen with us" she was now lying beneath the moonlight on the patch she had shown Angelo, and he was sitting beside her. She closed her eyes going with her body to relive that beautiful night, forgetting Angelo was beside her. She could feel Joey run her hand up her thigh and she smiled followed swiftly by a gasp, her fingers were toying wit the edge of her thong. Swiftly Brought back to reality by the probing behind her underwear; it felt too real to be a memory. What the hell is going on she opened her eyes.
"Angelo what the fuck are you doing?!" She sat up quickly suddenly sober.
"I thought you wanted it Charlie, you were just lying there I-"
"You're a creep Angelo, I just told you that you've been a brilliant friend to us, I'm not into guys Angelo how DARE you take advantage of me like that" She was fuming, raging at his latest advancements.
"Charlie listen I'm so sorry I thought you wanted it too"
"No Angelo, you didn't, you're a selfish bastard just like the rest of them, I shouldn't have EVER trusted you, I never thought you were one of them Angelo I thought you really cared! We're done Angelo, and this" she paused for a deep breath "Will never be repeated to anyone, or I'll have you done for assault, you hear me?"
"Charlie please, this is my entire fault" he knew he was wrong there was no point trying to convince her otherwise. "I fully take the blame"
"Shut up Angelo, I brought you here tonight to share my special memories with you because you were such a good friend to me, get lost"
How could he, he disgusts me… Joey, babe, I love you… I wish you were here, to hold me…
Oh Charlie what'll I do, I'll never be able to tell you… Will we ever be the same again…? Let me go home… Joey stared up at the sky, and after sometime seen their star, she hoped wherever this star shone upon Charlie, that she was having a far different time to her…
