I know I've been taking forever to update this story but of late I've been concentrating on my other story that seems to be well liked. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I know it's a lot shorter then my previous updates but I'll work on making the next one longer. Please review =) Makes it worth while to write these stories when I get reviews or PM's.
Chapter 21: Expensive
Brax P.O.V
I lay there in bed, staring at the ceiling, although I couldn't see anything but darkness because the room was pitch black, I looked over to my bed side table and saw that the clock read 7am, it was winter so the sun hadn't come up yet. I had been awake since 4:30, unable to sleep, I was cold and lonely, may sound soppy for a grown man to be saying this but I just don't think I'd be able to spend too many nights separated from Charlie, things just weren't the same. It took me long enough to fall asleep, trying to get comfortable and wondering if Charlie was okay, I knew she was seeing she was in the safest place to be in a life and death situation, a hospital but I just couldn't stop worrying.
I literally watched the numbers on the clock go by waiting for half past eight to arrive, it took forever but in reality it was only an hour and a half. By the time it was 8:15 I was sitting down on the couch dressed in my cargo pants and black and white hoody, staring at the black TV screen watching and waiting... Suddenly it all got the better of me and I found myself locking the door and walking towards my Ute.
I tried to drive as slowly as I could but I just couldn't help it and by 8:25 I was parked in the hospital car lot. I walked through the hospital doors not paying attention to anything but focusing my full attention on looking for Charlie is some bizarre situation where she was standing their waiting for me. But I knew once I got into her room, the doctor would only talk to us for 48 hours.
"Hey, I'm Darryl Braxton I'm here to pick up my girlfriend Charlie Buckton." I said to the female receptionist, she quickly typed away on her computer before printing a double sided form and handing it to me.
"Down the hall and to the left, room number 9. Make sure Miss Buckton fills these out and hands them back in before she leaves." Said the friendly lady whose name tag read 'Sue'. I smiled at her before following her directions to Charlie's room.
I opened the door without knocking and saw a naked Charlie standing there with her hospital robe around her feet, she looked up shocked probably thinking it was a nurse or something but then saw it was me.
Charlie P.O.V
My heart was racing as I looked up, thinking it was a nurse or my male doctor but much to my appreciation I found that it was none other than my boyfriend, his eyes wide with excitement. He began to walk towards me, before turning back and closing the door and turning the lock. He walked up to with the biggest smile on his face, I couldn't help but laugh at him, one night away from me and he acting like it was the first time he had seen me naked, I remember the first time.
I was nervous as hell, guiding a sexy River Boy from the kitchen, where I had slammed him against the fridge before letting him suck my face, to my bedroom. As we burst through my door, not even bothering to shut it I already had my hands at his waist ripping his belt off and I could feel his bludge already. He literally ripped my shirt and sports bra off before disposing of my shorts and undies. Wasn't exactly the ideal first time dream a girl thinks about when they are with a new guy, I mean I was all hot and sweaty seeing I had just gotten back from my run but Brax didn't seem to care, he just ripped my clothing off as if I was a Victoria Secret Model. When I was finally naked, he just stopped on top of me all of a sudden looking down at my body; I was getting self conscious thinking that I was fat or something the way he was looking at me. But then he looked up at me with that sexy, cheeky half smile before kissing me again and finally getting naked himself. The rest is history but my god it was amazing.
His hands were at my bare hips, pulling me into his body and almost instantly I felt his lips on mine and his tongue enter my mouth. He then grabbed my arse lifting me up so my legs were wrapped around his waist before walking me to the hospital bed and laying me down. I broke away gasping for air.
"No Brax, I know where this is heading. We are not having sex on a hospital bed." I laughed, he just groaned before getting off me and helping me to my feet, I walked over to my bag and began getting dressed. I could feel his gaze on me, burning into my back, the sexual tension was crazy.
There was a knock on the door followed by "Charlie, it's Dr Stinson; I'm here to get you your final check up." I stared at Brax with a worried expression on my face; I ran and grabbed my robe and bag before running into the bathroom and closing the door.
Dr Stinson P.O.V:
The door opened after a couple of seconds to find a tall, muscular, well built man standing before me, I was kind of worried but then I remembered it was her boyfriend Darryl. Unluckily for me she had a boyfriend, she was very attractive and had such a nice personality that if she was single I definitely would have asked her out on a date, but sadly I couldn't.
"Hey doc, come in. Charlie's just getting changed in the bathroom." He said politely.
Eventually she came out and greeted me; she then walked over and sat on Darryl's lap. These two were so in love, and Darryl was extremely smitten with her, watching her every move constantly kissing her forehead, shoulder or hair. But now I think about it, I'm glad she wasn't single. I'm glad she found Darryl because they are both very much in love.
I told them both that Charlie is now fine and everything is back to normal, she still might feel a little under the weather for a couple day which is normal but other than that she should be back to work soon and living her normal life. I walked with them to the front door and watched them walk away hand in hand and Darryl being a true gentleman in carrying her bag, you don't really see guys doing that these days, but when you do you know that they are definitely in love.
Charlie P.O.V
I was in the car with Brax, still hand in hand he hadn't let it go since I sat down on his lap, I could tell he missed me, but that was okay because I had the worst sleep last night, people would say it was because I was in a different environment, not used to my surroundings, but truth be told I can usually sleep anywhere without a problem, but last night that wasn't the case and I knew why. It was because Brax wasn't there, and I wasn't half naked and wrapped in his arms and pushed close up to his warm, big body I was lonely and missing his presence.
I rubbed the top of my left arm still sore, I hadn't told Brax yet but I had gotten the bar taken out, our only use of contraception and I knew Brax didn't like wearing condoms and neither did I, because I couldn't feel or get the full effect, but Dr Stinson did tell me that the bar would remain effective for a couple of weeks until it was out of my system but I bought the pill anyway, so when it was time it would be easier and less stressful to stop.
When we got home I went upstairs for a shower while Brax stayed down stairs and cooked us some breakfast. I turned the shower off after spending 20 minutes in there scrubbing my body trying to get rid of the hospital smell of strong disinfectants and antibacterial materials. I stepped out and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Brax standing there with my towel and a smile on his face; he walked up to me and wrapped it around my body as he hugged me. I dried myself off, Brax sitting on the side of the bath tub watching me and looking at me very closely; if it was anyone else but Brax I'd be extremely embarrassed. With Angelo I nearly always made him leave the room when I was naked but with Brax it was easy going and I didn't care if he saw me naked.
Brax P.O.V
Once Charlie ate her breakfast and once I cleaned up the mess I made I left Charlie to rest, telling her I had to go to Angelo's for some 'business'. Truth be told I wasn't going to Angelo's I was going to meet up with Bianca.
I was taking Bianca to the city for a few hours so she could help me decide on what ring I was going to buy my beautiful girlfriend, who would hopefully be my future wife.
Bianca P.O.V
Brax drove me to the city pretty quickly, we talked most of the way and I found Brax to be one of the nicest guys I've met, different to his brother. I can see why Charlie fell for him, I always knew Brax was nice but now he really showed the decent, sweet, respecting guy that Charlie told me he was.
We drove to the main shopping centre and parked the car, we were walking around the shopping centre when we came across Tiffany and Co's jewellery shop, and he began to walk in.
"Wow, wow Brax that shop is way too expensive especially for an engagement ring." He scoffed and continued walking in. I was looking around at the cheaper rings, they were beautiful but not as beautiful as the ones Brax was looking at.
"Bianca what about this one?" He asked, I walked over and looked through the glass security case to where he was pointing. The ring was absolutely gorgeous, I don't even know why he brought be along because he knew what he was doing. The Tiffany & Co engagement ring was 6-prong solitaire solid platinum diamond ring, which cost a whopping $6,000.
"Brax, that costs 6 grand!" I squealed.
"So? Bianca seriously the money doesn't matter, I don't care about how much it costs if I can afford it I'll buy it, and I can afford it so I'm buying it." He said simply.
We drove back to Summer Bay, Brax $6,000 poorer but I really don't think he minded, I sat there staring at the open ring box in my hand, looking at the diamond and smiling.
"You really are the sweetest guy I've met." I breathed as I looked at the ring, knowing Charlie would love it. He smiled as he turned onto my street, I closed the black case and carefully placed it inside its blue box and then tied up the white ribbon before placing it back in the cup holder.
I watched Brax drive away, knowing that my best friend would soon be getting the biggest surprise of her life and parading around no longer a single woman and with a gigantic ring on her finger.
