The taxi pulled up outside the house as we arrived back in the Bay and Brax and I stepped out, Brax settling the fare with the driver after he'd removed our suitcases from the back. Grabbing the majority as I grabbed the rest, we made our way into the house, Ruby ambushing us as we stepped in the front door…
"You're back" she proclaimed "how was your flight? How was your hotel? How was it all? Tell me everything"
"You probably don't wanna know everything, Rubes" I admitted, chuckling lightly
"No, you're probably right" she replied "tell me everything, but leave the goriness out"
"It was amazing" I sighed, grabbing Brax and I a water from the fridge, handing him his
"That's it?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow
"We relaxed. We snorkelled. We swam. We ate. We slept. That's about it" I informed her
"That sounds boring" she admitted "apart from the snorkelling bit, that sounds cool"
"It was" I replied "where's everyone else?"
"Casey's surfing and Bianca and Heath are at the restaurant" she informed us
"Which reminds me, I better be getting there to see how my brother's done" Brax admitted
"Can you pick us up some takeaway?" I inquired as he grabbed his keys "I don't wanna cook"
He nodded and smiled, kissing my cheek and Ruby's cheek simultaneously before heading out of the door, both of us hearing his car engine start a few seconds later…
"You look so happy and relaxed" Ruby admitted as we sat down on the sofa
"I am. It was amazing, Rubes" I sighed "I wish we could've stayed there longer"
"Why didn't you? Everything's been fine here" she assured me
"You know Brax, business comes a very close second. He wouldn't have been able to stay there too much longer, no matter how much we enjoyed ourselves" I explained, chuckling
"At least you had a good time" she replied "that's the main thing. Shall I start on your washing?"
"Okay, who are you in and what have you done with my daughter?" I inquired
"Gee, thanks" she chuckled "I just wanna help"
"You never help with the washing unless you're forced" I proclaimed
"Maybe I've changed. So, do you want help or not?" she asked
"No, you're fine. Don't you have some studying to be doing?" I questioned
"Yes, actually" she replied "I've got a Business exam tomorrow"
"Then go and study. I can do this" I assured her
"I'll be in my room" she informed me, kissing my cheek "welcome home, Mum"
"Thanks, baby" I replied
BRAX'S POV:
"As much as I loved our honeymoon, there's nothing like your own bed" Charlie sighed
"Tell me about it" I mirrored, sighing as I climbed into bed, Charlie doing the same
"Thank you for the perfect honeymoon, Mr. Braxton" she replied
"You're welcome, Mrs. Braxton" I stated, leaning down to kiss her gently
I'm sorry for the short chapter but I'm running out of ideas. Don't want this story to be like every other. Marriage and then a child, what do you wanna see instead? Helpppppp!
