It had been two days since the kiss between Brax and Charlie. Charlie had managed to avoid Brax throughout these days until now. Angelo was at work as usual and Ruby was in the bathroom getting ready to go out with friends tonight. Charlie went into the en-suite unknown to her that Brax was in there having a shower. As Charlie entered the bathroom, she heard the shower on and thought that Angelo was in there, as she had no clue that he was at work. She decided to sneak into the shower with him to surprise him. As she stripped down and went to open the shower curtain she screamed to find Brax in there. This was the second time she had seen him naked and now the first for him to see her naked. She quickly picked up a towel to cover herself and ran out the door. Brax couldn't help but smile and turn off the water. He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. Completing this, he followed out the door to find Charlie sitting on the bed with her face in her hands. Brax didn't know what to say to her so he decided to leave the room and go to his own. As he reached to open the door Charlie spoke.
"Why were you in my bathroom?" she angrily questioned.
"Ruby was in the other one and I needed to get ready for my date" He lied so that he hit a nerve with her.
"Next time tell me when you plan on using my bathroom, or at least lock the door" she replied frustrated.
"Yeah I will, but how was I meant to know you were going to join me" he replied with his cheeky smile.
"Just get out" Charlie spoke frustrated at him while getting up heading for the bathroom. Brax obeyed and left the room to find Ruby looking at him like 'why the hell are you in there with my mother'. He ignored her and continued to head for his bedroom. Ruby was shocked that she had just seen Brax come out of her mother's bedroom only wearing a towel. All these questions were running through her mind like 'is Charlie cheating on Angelo' or 'Charlie and Angelo have split up and Charlie was moving on with Brax,' it made sense as Angelo was never around and when he was most of the time he was sleeping on the couch. Ruby decided to ask her mother about it later as she would be late meeting up with April and Dex.
Later that night Heath, Casey, Brax and Angelo were outside starting the BBQ for dinner. Ruby joined them outside as soon as she got home and now they waited for Charlie. Charlie soon arrived with Salad and dessert from the diner. It was an awkward dinner as Charlie and Brax had seen each other naked this morning. Ruby had saw Brax come out of the bedroom and well Heath didn't get along with Angelo or Charlie. Ruby so badly wanted to know about this morning's incident and decided to bring up.
"So Brax I saw you come out of Charlie and Angelo's room s'morning" Ruby casually said out loud in front of everyone. Charlie's heart skipped a beat when she heard this come out of her daughter's mouth.
"What were you doing in there?" asked Angelo.
"Needed to have a shower for a lunch date and Ruby was hogging up the other bathroom, I asked Charlie if I could" Brax lied and Charlie knew it, but was relieved that he didn't say she caught him in there when she was going to join him.
"Oh ok then, so where were you then Charlie?" Ruby asked as she knew exactly where Charlie was and knew that Charlie had no idea Brax was in there or did she. Everyone looked at Charlie waiting for her reply.
"I was outside cleaning the BBQ for tonight" Charlie lied and Ruby knew it and gave a disappointed look. This little conversation made everyone tense up especially Angelo. Angelo hated the idea of Brax being in his room but it really got to him when Ruby finally blurted out.
"Oh I thought I heard you in the bedroom with Brax". Charlie couldn't believe it, was her daughter trying to break her and Angelo apart. Brax looked down to the ground while Heath cracked up in laughter. Casey looked at Brax disappointedly while Angelo was furious with this information.
"Charlie, were you or were you not in the bedroom with Brax?" Angelo furiously questioned.
"I went in there when he was leaving, that is what probably Ruby heard" Charlie tried to explain away what really happened. Angelo was disappointed in Charlie for lying to him but he decided to let it go. Ruby still didn't believe it but decided she would let it go and keep an eye on Charlie and Brax. Heath got up and said goodbye to everyone along with Casey. As soon as they left the tension between the housemates rose dramatically.
