Chapter 13- Moving closer on my own

"Aw do you have to go?" Adrianna wondered, slightly tispy, when Heath, Bianca, Casey and Ruby started getting ready to leave. It was only one o'clock and still somewhat warm outside. So what if they had been there since six o'clock, they were having a lot of fun.

Heath smiled cheekily. "It's not that we don't love you, Ade, but myself and Bianca have something that needs doing at home." he said suggestively and Bianca slapped his muscular arm.

"Heath!" she chastened him, though it was clear that she wasn't too put out about his forwardness.

Casey chuckled. "Well we have to be up early tomorrow morning so, even though we'd love to stay, we can't." Ruby nodded in agreeance.

"Yeah thank you so much for inviting us though. It was a really great night." she smiled. All four of them were acting slightly strange.

Adrianna got up of her garden chair and hugged Ruby and Bianca. "It's no problem at all. You guys are welcome any time. Tonight was the most fun I've had in years!"

Heath looked at Brax. "You staying here for a while bro?" It didn't sound like asking as much as telling.

Adrianna turned around to look at him. "Yeah, I'll stay for a while." he nodded and smiled.

She clapped her hands excitedly. "Thank you Brax! I'm so not done yet." Not by a long shot.

Heath, Bianca, Casey and Ruby all exchanged glances. "Take your time." Heath said coyly. "We won't be waiting up. See you two in the morning."

They all waved goodbye before leaving. Then there were two. Adrianna sat down on the two-seater next to Brax. "Thanks for staying with me." she smiled and took another sip of beer, which she didn't usually drink.

Brax smiled. "It's no problem. Besides, I'd rather be here than in the house trying to get some sleep with those two in the room next to me. I feel sorry for Case."

Adrianna chuckled and nodded. "Yeah I don't envy you. It must be annoying having them going at it every two hours." she assumed. The amount of stories Bianca had told her about her escapades with Heath was unbelieveable. Sometimes Adrianna had to politely remind her best friend that there are somethings she didn't have to know and that she didn't need a play-by-play of everything that happened.

He shrugged. "Yeah, well they're all loved up so I suppose I should give them a break. Personally I'd rather put up with them doing it all the time than have Heath moaning about them not being together."

Adrianna smiled. "Heath doesn't seem like a moper to me."

Brax chuckled. "Well you didn't seem like an alchoholic to me." he joked. "We never really know everything about people."

She play punched his arm. "Haha very funny. I bet you think I'm a good girl." Adrianna assumed.

"I know you're a good girl." he corrected her. "Ms lawyer."

Adrianna was offended. "It's easily known you weren't around Summer Bay when I was growing up. Just ask my mother or granfather... or anyone who was there at the time."

Brax looked at his friend disbelievingly. "Is that so?"

She nodded. "Yep, I was a rebel. The town hussy of my time if you will."

"Wow. Guess I underestimated you. Or overestimated in this case. Now I'm curious. How about we play a bit of "have you ever"? he suggested.

Adrianna smiled. "Okay. Nothing's off limits. You go first." she told him.

Brax thought of a question to ask for a minute. "Have you ever been arrested?" he wondered curiously.

She shook her head. "I've never been officially arrested, no. My turn. Have you ever..." Adrianna thought of a good one. "Have you ever had a threesome?"

He looked shocked. "No. One of the things I haven't done. Why, have you?"

Adrianna bit her lip for a moment. "Yeah. I was the town hussy remember?" she smiled.

"Wow. I would never have expected that. Maybe you are a bad girl." he chuckled. "Have you ever been caught having sex?"

She cringed. "Yes! Oh my god, Morag walked in on me and some guy. I don't think I'll ever forget it. My turn again. Have you ever... kissed a boy?"

Brax raised an eyebrow. "I can safely say that I have never kissed a boy. My question, have you ever kissed a girl?" he wondered very curiously.

Adrianna nodded. "Yeah I have. Em, when I was about sixteen I was in a relationship with a girl for about a month. I suppose you could call it experimenting." that made her feel a lot more vulnerable. "I've never really told anyone that. Not even Angelo."

He frowned. "Why not? It's not like that's something to be ashamed of." That wasn't at all the reaction she'd been expecting from Brax.

Adrianna shrugged. "I don't know, it was a long time ago. I guess I don't see it as important information. It's not that I'm embarrassed by it or whatever, there's just some things I prefer to keep to myself."

Brax smiled. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." His smile was one of the nicest things she'd ever seen.

Somehow, despite his bad boy exterior and reputation, Adrianna felt closer to him than anyone else, besides Bianca. Much more so than Angelo. She had a feeling that not many people saw the sweet, kind side of Darryl Braxton and she was one of the lucky few. Adrianna remembered when she first arrived and the questions she had about whether or not the Braxtons were as bad as people said. She knew now that they weren't.

Adrianna and Brax just looked at eachother silently for a moment before they both slowly started leaning in towards eachother until their lips met.
