Hey Guys!
Here's my next chapter.. I've just finished writing it. I'm in a bit of a hurry, so i have not had time to proof read it for spelling mistakes etc. Hope it okay!
Enjoy and please review! Lydia Xxx :)
Charlie was at Angelo's one day for lunch. Brax was working but Charlie sat at the bar so he could multi task and talk to Brax. A girl comes up to the bar and sits beside Charlie. She orders a drink as she watches Brax make it closely with interest.
"So Mr barmen.. My name is Claudia, what's yours?" She asks smiling seductively.
"Ahh, Brax. Nice to meet you Claudia."
"So your the manager of this place?"
"Yeah, I'm actually the owner! We have just gone under new management."
"Impressive! What's it like working in a small community- you must know everyone!"
"Yeah it can be like that sometimes! It's nice knowing people."
"You work the bar really well. Maybe we could have a drink together.."
Brax looked surprised as he glanced at Charlie- not wanting to reveal anything.
"Um that's the thing. I'm not single. I've got a girlfriend... Sorry."
"Oh okay.. Guy like you- that is totally obvious actually. Sorry about this- I might go and have this out on the deck..." She replied walking away embarrassed.
"So you have a girlfriend do you?" Charlie asked looking at Brax laughing.
"I sure do! I hope you didn't mind me saying that." Brax asked smiling but anxious of the outcome.
"Of course not.. Is that what we are?"
"I'd love to be able to think of you as my girlfriend."
"I guess it's official then!"
"It sure is! Hey, I'm technically on a break now- would you like to go for a walk along the beach or something?"
"Sure! Sounds good to me- I think Ruby said she was going to be there. You'll get to meet her maybe! She's seen you the first time we met..."
"Sounds good!" Brax replied grabbing his phone and chucking it in his pocket as they walked out of Angelo's hand in hand.
Hand in hand they strolled down along the beach together. "Rubes!" Charlie screamed out after she spotted her in the water. She heard someone screaming her name so she turned around and ran out of the water.
"Charlie- hey!" Ruby said in shock as Casey came out of the water next to her.
"Mate what are you doing here?" Brax asked Casey in confusion.
"Ahh, me and Ruby were just hanging out." Casey replied awkwardly.
"Right well that's nice... I just wanted to officially introduce Brax to you."
"Nice to meet you Brax- I'm Ruby.."
"Yeah- your mums told me a lot about ya."
"Has she just? All good things I hope!" Ruby asked looking at her mum.
"Of course Rubes- your my baby girl!" Charlie smiled
"Well Case has told me about you too Brax! You own Angelo's that must be pretty cool!"
"Yeah it is... I love it! Come and see me anytime- you can have whatever you want."
"Charlie, I like this guy a lot. He's definitely a keeper!"
"Rubes! You can't tell me to keep seeing Brax just because you get free meals!" Charlie said laughing.
"I know- but Angelo's do make the best pizza's! Charlie admit it. And I've noticed you have been there a lot more lately"
"Yeah because I go there to see Brax."
"Charlie, you do eat too though!" Brax butted in grinning at Charlie.
"You guys are all ganging up on me! If you must know though- your right Angelo's pizza's are amazing."
"And so are the juices, garlic breads, pasta's, wines..." Brax laughed looking at Charlie, who started blushing. "Haha, Charlie relax. You can have whatever you want- I don't care."
"We might keep going.. We'll see you guys later." Charlie announced suddenly, grabbing Brax's hand and pulling him with her.
"Ruby's pretty cool- she seems like tones of fun!"
"She is indeed. I should have known she was going to embarrass me.."
"I was only joking before. You can seriously have whatever you want. All my family does too. All you have to do is ask and it's being made..."
"That's sweet... In that case- I know your working tonight. Can we have dinner?"
Brax stopped walking then turned to face Charlie so they were standing face to face in front of each other. Brax wrapped his arms around Charlie's lower back as he felt her arms reach around his neck. "Of course you can. Come anytime you want and I'm yours" He whispered as he leant in and gently and slowly kissed Charlie.
"Guys seriously?" Ruby and Casey asked walking past them. "This is a public place, we don't need to see your PDA's."
"ay, it's a free country. I can kiss my beautiful girlfriend wherever I want!" Brax replied cheekily pecking her lips once more.
"Girlfriend, huh? Things must be getting pretty serious Charlie!" Ruby smirked.
"Rubes, haven't you embarrassed me enough today?"
"Love you Charlie!" Ruby laughed as she continued walking past them so they were ahead.
"I'm going to kill her when I get home! What do you reckon is going on there with Casey?"
"Go easy on her! Who knows- but if they get together that will be Casey's first girlfriend."
"Cute, well he is as sweet as you- i have no doubt they will be together very, very soon!" Charlie laughed looking at the water. "I better get home and start getting ready for dinner.."
"Would you like me to drop you off?"
"No it's okay, I'll walk.. Would you like to stay over tonight at my place?"
"Like a sleepover?" Brax asked giggling.
"Well yes... But just quietly it may not be so G rated.." Charlie laughed whispering into Brax's ear.
"Sounds like lots of fun! Isn't Ruby or anyone else going to be there?"
"As far as I know, she will be home. But she's going to have to get used to it though."
"What if she hears us though? That would be so awkward- I barely know her!"
"Brax, if I tell you something do you promise not to laugh?" Brax nodded slowly.. "When I gave you my number that time, once you left, Ruby sat down and told me, we'd have really cute babies, she will get just have to get used to it."
Brax couldn't help but burst out laughing. Charlie laughed slightly too- but hesitantly. "She's one funny girl... I don't doubt they would be though- if you get your genes!"
"I told you not to laugh didn't I? I better go anyway home and get ready..."
"I'll see you Angelo's yeah?"
"You will indeed!" Charlie replied leaning in and kissing Brax passionately, never wanting to pull away.
