Message Body

As Charlie walked inside, Ruby was at the table eating a sandwich and quickly noticed Charlie struggling with the crutches.

"Charlie what the hell have you done? Are you okay?"

"Rubes, I'm okay. I was out shopping and I slipped over." I've had Sid take a look at it, and I'm stuck with this stupid ugly boot for 2 weeks!"

"Why didn't you call me? I could have come and helped you." Ruby asked, concerned.

"Brax helped me. He drove me to the hospital and carried me through half the shopping centre and car park! He was very sweet, he's actually gone to get my car so he'll be back soon"

"Oh yeah, how is your boyfriend that you never told me about?"

"I'm sorry Ruby. The whole reason I went shopping was to find a new dress for tonight. Brax and I were going to invite you, Casey and Heath to dinner tonight and we were going to tell you there, I promise."

"I believe you. I'm glad you two are together. I think you make each other happy!"

"Aww, thankyou Ruby. That's such a lovely thing to say. If it's okay with you, I might go and lay on my bed and watch some TV. I'm feeling really tired and sore." Charlie replied politely.

"Okay, if Brax comes back, I'll send him through to you.."

"Yep, thanks!" Charlie whispered as she started to struggle through into her room, where she laid on her bed and found the remote to turn her TV on.

25 minutes later, Brax came in Charlie's room and gently laid down next to her. Although she wasn't asleep, Charlie had her eyes closed. She opened them and was glad to see Brax next to her trying to snuggle up.

"Hey.. Thankyou for bringing my car back I really appreciate it." Charlie said quickly before kissing Brax lightly on the lips.

"No problem, its in the driveway. I've let Heath know that I won't be at Angelo's tonight. I'm free to spend the night with you!" Brax kindly whispered.

"You didn't have to do that! I'm sorry I probably won't be up for dinner tonight. I was really looking forward to that!"

"I was looking forward to seeing you in your new dress!" Brax said cheekily, before adding: "Let's put a movie on and relax, yeah?"

"Sounds nice!" Charlie replied as Brax grabbed the first movie he saw and chucked it on. Charlie laughed when she noticed it was the The Notebook.

Charlie and Brax snuggled up and watched the movie. Charlie couldn't stop laughing every time Brax yawned, thinking he was bored of the movie. After the movie finished, Charlie turned to Brax enthusiastically before bursting out with "do you want to move in together?"

Brax sat up and looked at Charlie "Hell yes- but where did this come from?"

"I have no idea, but I've never been more sure of anything in my life!" Charlie enthused before adding: "I think it would be way to cramped if you moved in here, and I know your mum hates me, so moving to yours wouldn't work either."

"How about a place of our own? That way, we wouldn't have to check who was home before having sex!" Brax laughed, while seductively kissing Charlie's neck.

"You read my mind! Let's have a look at "

Brax smiled as he reached over to the side of the bed he was on, grabbing Charlie's laptop.

After viewing the houses on the local sales market and looking at pictures, Brax and Charlie had managed to narrow it down to 3 houses. After much discussion, they'd agreed that 4 bedrooms would be ideal. Both wanted Ruby and Casey to have their own bedroom for when they stayed over, plus one extra that could be used as a study.

The three houses they'd found all had 4 bedrooms plus other features, that were a bonus to the home.

Both Charlie and Brax were thrilled and had arranged with local real estate agents to go and view the properties the next day.

Thanks for all your reviews, please keep them coming! What would you guyss like to see happen next? I've got another couple of chapters that i'm in the middle of writing, but i'd love to here your thoughts! Lydia :)
