Charlie's POV:

It was Saturday, I wasn't working and was determined to have a relaxing day. I thought about last night with Brax, it was absolutely amazing, I picked up my phone to text him:

'Hey sexy, thanks again for last night, I was thinking you could maybe drop by after your shift finishes tonight and I could show my appreciation?'

I got a reply almost instantly:

'Charlie, I think that message was meant for Brax, please don't EVER make a mistake like that again.'

I could feel my cheeks grow extremely red indeed, both Brax and Ruby were under my most recent contacts and I'd accidentally sent the message to Ruby:

'Sorry Rubes.'

I then proceeded to texting Brax, he replied to me ASAP,

'You're very welcome Miss. Buckton, I thought that was what last night was for though, anyway, I'll be over as soon as I'm done.'

I smiled then went into my bedroom, collecting my beach bag; I figured I'd go for a swim, after all, it is supposed to be a relaxing day.

-8pm, Charlie's house.-

I was in the kitchen checking on the food when I heard a knock on the door, I quickly paced over and opened it,

"Hey gorgeous." Brax said, he wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed me deeply, I pulled away,

"Hello. Dinner's almost ready." I took his hands, closing the door behind him and led him into the living room, I stopped in front of one of the chairs and pushed him down onto it, he attempted to pull me down with him but I pushed him away, "You sit here, and I'll bring it in shortly."

I strutted out of the living room and back into the kitchen.

Brax's POV:

I patiently sat waiting for Charlie to come back in, she entered carrying two plates, she put mine down in front of me, and hers on the other side of the table,

"Dinner is served." She said seductively, I placed my hands on her waist and pulled her onto my lap, succeeding this time, I flashed her a cheeky smile before bringing my lips to hers and kissing her passionately, she pulled away, "Eat!" She ordered,

"Alright!" I kissed her cheek before she got up and went on her side of the table.

We had finished eating when she said,

"I'll be back in a sec." I watched her slide out of her seat and walk off to her bedroom, she came out a few minutes later wearing a berry red corset and black suspenders, 'Wow' I muttered under my breath, I couldn't help but stare at her,

"Oh gosh, it's too much, I look like a whore don't I?"

I laughed before hopping up and walking over to her, I placed my hands on her waist, she looked up at me and smiled before I whispered in her ear,

"But you look so god-damn hot."She reached up to my height and kissed me passionately, wrapping one arm around my neck and the other rested on my shoulder, so her hand could glide through my hair, I placed my hands underneath her backside and lifted her up, she linked her arms around my waist as I walked in the direction of her bed.

Charlie's POV:

I woke up to see the sun streaming through the curtains and Brax attempting to get dressed very quickly, he didn't notice I had woken up,

"Where do you think you're going in such a hurry?" He looked over at me and grinned,

"Major mess-up at work, I've got to be the one to go in and fix it."

"Oh okay." He slipped his t-shirt over his head, then came over to me and sat on the bed beside me, "Thought you were in a hurry." I said.

"I am." He brought his face closer to mine, "But this can't wait." He kissed me passionately before pulling away, "Okay, now I really have to go!" He motioned towards the door.

I laughed at him, "How about you meet me later at the diner, we could grab lunch?"

"Sounds good."

"Well, I'll meet you there at 1pm?"

"Perfect." He briskly walked back to me and kissed me again before running out of the house, I laughed as I watched him go.

-1 hour later-

After Brax left I got up and went for a shower, I was now just lounging around on the couch, watching TV when my phone beeped, it was from Georgina,

'Hey Charlie. You free to come in? Joyce wants to see you ASAP.'

I thought about what he might want before replying,

'Yup I'm free, I'll come in as soon as.'

I headed to the station, in my uniform, and walked into my office to see Joyce and Georgina waiting for me,

"Ah, Sergeant."

"Inspector." I said politely.

"I wanted you to come in so I could tell you face-to-face that you're no longer on this case."

My face dropped, "I'm sorry?" I asked, as if I couldn't understand what he had just said.

"You're compromised and we both know it."

"Sir I'm not! I'm no longer in a relationship with Darryl Braxton." I lied,

"Charlie, one of the officers saw you and him at the beach the other day, kissing." Georgina interrupted.

I blushed, not only did I lie, but I was found out in the same heartbeat,

"Sir, I've never let it affect my work so far, I don't intend to start now."

"I've made up my mind, Sergeant, why don't you just take the rest of the day off?"

I was upset, I just nodded softly before walking out of the office and heading home, as soon as I got home, I took off my boots, laid down on the sofa, and fell asleep.

Brax's POV:

I had been waiting at the diner for a while, I had rang and text Charlie but she didn't reply, I gave up and decided to go to Charlie's place to see what had happened. I got to the house to see the front door open, I entered and walked through to the living room to see Charlie asleep on the sofa, I smiled to myself before going over to her and kneeling down in front of her, I stroked her face gently, her eyes fluttered open,

"Oh, hey." She said, surprised to see me.

"Hey stranger." I replied.

"What are you doing here Brax?" She held out her hand and I held onto it,

"Well, I was supposed to meet my girlfriend at the diner for lunch, but, she never showed." I watched as Charlie blushed slightly, "So, after waiting for twenty-five minutes, I decided she wasn't coming and thought I'd come looking."

"Brax, I'm so sorry, I got home and just fell asleep."

"I can see that." I flashed her a cheeky grin, "Are you alright? You look very tired."

"I am extremely tired, I haven't been, er, sleeping much." She blushed slightly, evidently making a reference to our sex life.

"Well what can I say? It's because I'm so damn irresistible!"

"And so damn cocky." She shot back.

I leaned in and kissed her, I pulled back,

"Budge up." She got up and shuffled across the sofa for me, I sat down beside her, put one arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me, she wrapped her arms around me, "Now sleep." I commanded.

"What?" She looked up at me with confused eyes.

"You're tired, it's my fault you're that tired, so now I'm going to make sure you sleep!"

She laughed softly, "Alright!" She nuzzled her head into my chest until she got comfortable and soon enough, she fell asleep, and not long later, so did I.
