Chapter 25

Charlie's Point of View

I was lying there with my head on Brax's bare tattooed chest, feeling his heart still pounded from what had just happened with us. I move my head so my chin was on his chest and I looked at him, staring at the ceiling. I traced my fingers over the words 'Blood and Sand' on his toned chest, watching his eyes move to mine. We looked at each other blankly, waiting for someone to break the silence. "I should go" I whispered, rolling off him.

"Oh ok" He replied quietly. I got up out of bed and got dressed. I could feel his eyes watching me. "When am I going to see you again?" He asked, still lying in bed.

"Soon" I smiled before grabbing my shoes and leaving. I walked into the house only to find Bianca still awake doing some school work at the dinning table.

"Where have you been?" Bianca looked up at me.

"Just went for a walk" I nodded.

"You were gone an hour and a half" Bianca chuckled.

"It was a long walk" I smiled before getting a glass of water.

"By the way your shirt is inside out" Bianca laughed. I looked down quickly, worried that she would know. I realised my shirt wasn't inside out before rolling my eyes at Bianca. "Ahh so you didn't just go for a walk did you" She smiled at me. I sat down at the table next to her and placed my head in my hands. "How was he?" She asked excitedly. All I could do was sigh.

"How am I meant to answer that?" I chuckled.

"Was he a dud, was he mind blowing, did he do anything kinky?" Bi asked in anticipation.

"Let's just say that bedroom was quite steamy after we'd finished" I chuckled back.

"Good sex must run in the Braxton family" Bianca winked. "So are you planning on seeing him again?"

"I think I might actually" I laughed before heading off to bed.

The next morning

I headed into work that morning only to find Watson rushing around. "Serge, have you forgotten. We have Heath Braxton's court case today!"

"Oh shit…how could I have forgotten about that?!" I quickly grabbed my cap, my files & my keys before we both headed to the car. We soon got to the court house only to find both Brax and Heath dressed in suits, along with the wicked Hayley O' Conner. "Why didn't you remind me of this last night?" I hissed at him.

"Last night had nothing to do with today" He replied before walking away from me. Watson and I both walked in and sat down just as court was starting. Both Watson and I got called up to the stand to testify and present our statements before getting asked questions off Miss O'Conner.

"Now, Sergeant Buckton is it true that you transferred from the city to Yabbie Creek Police Station due to the so called problem of the River Boys" The blonde haired bitch asked me with a smirk on her face.

"Yes that is correct" I nodded.

"And its correct that you have arrested both Heath Braxton and Darryl Braxton numerous times but have not been able to charge them?" She smiled back. I sighed before answering.

"Yes, that is correct" I nodded back again.

"So it can safely be assumed that there is a high possibility that Heath Braxton could have been set up, due to the frustration of Sergeant Buckton in trying to get rid of the Braxton's from Summer Bay and its surroundings" Hayley smirked.

"Objection, your honour" The prosecution officer stepped in before I could yell and scream at Hayley. After another hour of questions and statements the judge soon made his decision and gave Heath a $300 fine along with 3 month good behaviour bond. I walked out of the court room and noticed Heath, Hayley and Brax having a good old laugh before Watson and I headed back to the station. The rest of my shift was soon over and I headed back home to Bianca, April, Dex and Ruby sitting in the living room talking.

"I suppose you all heard then?" I sighed as I flopped on the sofa.

"Yeah Heath rang me…I'm still really annoyed at him" Bianca sulked.

"Bianca he's no good for you!" April scoffed as her and Dex left.

"Casey seems pleased…but he was saying that, it was very unlikely that something serious would happen" Ruby nodded towards me.

"Yeah well it doesn't matter now. I just lost my chance to be one step ahead of them" I continued sulking.

"Cheer up Charlie…at least they are having a party to celebrate if you want to come over with me" Ruby smiled.

"You really think I'd be welcome there, let alone want to go?!" I scoffed before storming into my room. What was Ruby thinking?! I got dressed into some casual clothes before checking my emails on my laptop and heading back out only to find Bianca on the lounge by herself.

"Ruby went over to help them set up" Bianca handed me a glass of wine before I sat down next to her.

"She better realise it's a school night and if she isn't home by 10.30 I will be bringing out the big guns!" I gulped down my wine.

"Woah, go easy there Charlie" Bianca chuckled before pouring me another glass. "Is this really about Heath's court case or is it about Brax?" Bianca asked knowingly.

"No, it's that stupid bitch of a lawyer! She's all over Brax, all the time!" I sighed in frustration. "She even showed me up in court today!"

"Ahh I see…so basically you're jealous…even though from what I understand you and Brax aren't exactly exclusive yet?" Bianca tried not to laugh.

"Oh shut up!" I chuckled.

"I'm sorry. Ok how about we walk down to the diner, pick up some take away and head on back here and watch corny romance films!" Bianca suggested as she hugged me. We headed out the front only for me to see Hayley flirting with Brax at his car. I rolled my eyes as Brax looked at me before watching her kiss his cheek, lingering as Bianca took my hand as we walked away faster.

"She makes me so angry!" I said as we got into the diner. Leah soon helped us out with some food and we headed back home only to find the music next door pumping and loads of people inside the house. Bianca and I sat down with our dinner, more wine and a heart breaking French movie before I headed into my room to get changed for bed. Taking off my jeans and shirt I sifted though my pyjama drawer before hearing a loud noise from my window. I screamed only for Brax to crush my lips with his and stop me. I pulled away quickly and slapped him on the face.

"What the fuck was that for?!" He held his cheek.

"You scared me!" I replied angrily.

"No need to slap me though" He sat on the bed. "Nice to see you were waiting for me" He smirked at my lack of clothes.

"Shut up" I stormed over and pushed him before feeling his arms wrap around my waist. "No, you don't get to act all cute and attractive right now. I'm really pissed off" I tried to squirm out of his arms. He let me go and stood up.

"What did I do?" He asked confused.

"Why aren't you with Hayley right now? Or did you already sleep with her and you were looking for more?" I asked angrily.

"Oh I see…you're jealous of Hayley. Well I can tell you now nothing is going to happen between her and me. I want you and I have since you arrived here, so why would I jeopardise losing you to that skank. We've only just started this Charlie…what ever this is, and I want to see where we can take this" Brax replied seriously. "You're the one who wants to keep this under wraps, but you also seem to be the one who's getting pissed off when I try to cover up what we're doing. I only played Hayley along so she wouldn't suspect me of sleeping with you or anyone else for that matter" He shook his head at me before heading towards the open window.

"Wait…I'm sorry" I stopped him. He looked at me seriously before sitting back on the end of my bed. "I just hate seeing girls all over you. I know this is new to both of us, but I would really like to see where we can take this. But right now I know where the rest of tonight will be taking us" I smirked at him before slipping off my panties, walking up to him and straddling his lap.

"This is why I don't want anyone else!" His arms wrapped around my waist as his lips pressed onto mine and pulled me back onto the bed with him.
