CHARLIE P.O.V

I hadn't spoken to Brax now for 4 days. He had left me so many texts and voice messages, he had only just got the message that I wasn't going to respond to him.

I couldn't help but tear up when I went through his voice messages. One struck a cord in particular. He sounded as though he was about to cry like me. "Charlie, it's me. Please, look I'm so sorry for what I've done. I'm not proud of it and I just want a chance to try and work things out with you. I love you. Just text me back at least" I wiped away my tear as I texted him quickly:

"Brax, please just leave me alone. You and I both have to accept that things are over."

I fixed myself up, trying to pull my head back together as finished up everything. I was sitting in my office, doing paper work now for almost two hours. I picked up my bag when it was finally time to go home.

I got into my car, at the same time as I got a text from Ruby: "Charlie, I'm not going to be home for dinner. Got a date with Casey! See you tomorrow probably- I'll be home late.. x" I sighed heavily. I was going to be home alone. Leah was staying with Miles and VJ was at a friends house for the night. I loved living with Leah because she alway made the best meals!"

"Pizza it is" I said to myself. Pizza was the best from Angelo's though. I prayed that Brax wasn't going to be there.

Walking into Angelo's and looked around... Of course Brax had to be there. I walked straight up to the bar. He was serving a customer, but some how noticed when I walked in.

"Charlie, how are you? I didn't expect to see you- I thought you were still ignoring me. Do you wanna talk?"

"No... I've got to get home. Ruby and I are having a girls night in."

"Alright, yeah.. That kind of funny, considering her and Casey were just in here. I watched her make the call to you, where she explained she wasn't going to be home and that she was spending the night with Case." He grinned.

"I'll just have one meat lovers pizza please." I replied, attempting to move on from my mistake I got caught out on, as quickly as possible.

"And I presume that will be without mushrooms and with added bacon and chicken? I remember you love them that way."

I could feel a smile forming on my face. He remembered little details about me, that any other guy would ever remember. "Yeah please"

"Thought so.. That won't be too long. While your here, I've got something of yours, if you follow me."

"I can't, I'm in a bit of a hurry Brax."

"Charlie, the pizza won't be ready for at least 10 minutes.. C'mon." He said walking towards his office. This was going to be awkward.

"There you go." He handed me my jumper. I had been looking for this everywhere.

"You left it here last time you and me.. You know"

"Right, gotcha.. Well thanks for returning it. l might go back and wait outside."

"Um Charlie one more thing." I noticed he was standing in the door way, I felt slightly trapped. Being in a room with my ex was not my idea at all of a good night.

"Charlie, I've said sorry a million times, I'm not sure what else to do. I'm more sorry then you can imagine that I hurt both emotionally and physically. I'd take it back in a second if I could, but I can't. Can we try and get past it please?"

"Brax, I" I began my sentence not even totally sure what I was going to say. I was cut off, by him. He had reached his finger out and put it gently on on my mouth. "shhh" He said.

"I'm sure we can work it out." He whispered. I didn't respond, I just stared down at the ground. He stepped forward, releasing his finger from my mouth, and instead bringing his hand forward to gently cup one side of my face. He leant in to kiss me, our lips colliding with each other hurriedly. Words couldn't describe how good it was, to be kissing Brax again. I got lost in the moment, until I came back to reality. I pulled away quickly. No matter how much I enjoyed it, it was wrong.

"Charlie..." Brax moaned, his face was still very, very close to mine. He had his eyes shut for a few seconds then slowly opened them.

"That was a mistake, it shouldn't of happened."

"But Charlie, it did and I don't regret it for even a tenth of a second. Your blushing Charlie, you can't tell me you didn't feel anything just then?"

"Even if I did, I don't think I can trust you. You can't just beat someone up because they say something you don't agree with. Heath is your brother for goodness sake. If your happy to punch him, then you'd hit anyone."

"Charlie, I'd never ever hurt you, you know that right?" I stared at his eyes for a moment. I sighed and nodded slowly."

"Good. Charlie I love you.."

"I know that. If we do try again, Brax you've got to keep your anger under control."

"I will." He replied grinning, before he leant straight back over and kissed me as if the world was going to end. I sat on his desk as I opened my legs for him to get closer. We stayed there kissing, for at least 5 minutes. It felt like heaven to have his warm wet lips on mine, the way he used too, I didn't realize just how much I missed it.

I was the one that had to eventually pull away. I knew there was no chance Brax would've first. "Your a really good kisser, I missed that."

"I've got to be up to scratch, when I get to kiss someone as beautiful as you." We both laughed together, quietly.

"I missed you." I said quietly

"Boy, I missed you too... So what happens now?"

"I don't know! I have just finished work and I'm home alone."

"Is that right? Are you inviting me over?"

"How about we go for a walk? If your working, you can meet me later though."

"Charlie, one of the best parts about being the boss, is that I can choose whenever I want to work. I'd much rather spend the night with you then have to serve drunks."

"Well, I have pizza! Let's share it on the beach?"

"Sure, I never say no to pizza and a date"

"Let's go then!" I smiled getting up and walking out of the office. We walked slowly down to the beach, hand in hand together. Neither of us, really said anything to each other. It was dark and quiet. We heard the waves crashing everywhere.

"This is nice..." I said while chewing a piece of pizza."

Brax laughed a little. I stared at him, wondering what was funny. He must have read my mind- "When you say, this is nice, do you mean the pizza, the company or something else?"

"Everything I guess. My life felt like a mess for a few days, I'm just so glad things are back to normal."

"Me too. I moped around like an idiot everyday. I'm serious, I'd get up, go to work, come home and drink then sleep. It was pretty sad!"

"Have you spoken to Heath?"

"I have, we have sorted stuff out and he's going to keep his distance from you."

"Good... You wouldn't happen to have my jumper would you? The one from the office, you gave me back?"

"No, I'm guessing you've left it in my office again! Are you cold?"

"A little bit."

"You've only got a thin cop shirt on.. I'm not surprised! Come here." I watched as Brax held his hands out widely. I smiled as I hopped into his lap. I sat horizonately on his lap. His big bear hands gripped me. One sat on my bottom and the other around my back and arm.
"How are you so warm- your like an oven Brax!"

"I don't know" We sat there together, still not saying much to each other.

"Shall we head home and have an early night?" I asked, whispering quietly.

"We?"

"Yeah we. You've got some making up to do to me."

"Is that so? You know, I reckon makeup sex is the best sex."

"Who said we were having sex? I'm not.."

"Charlie you said making up?" He asked confused. I bit my lips attempting not to smile or laugh, nor make eye contact.

"Don't jump to conclusions Brax!"

"I didn't I just thought that you were talk" He stopped talking when I started laughing.

"I'm joking. I want you in my bed now!"

"Charlie!" He moaned, grinning.. "Your place or mine?"

"You can come to mine, we've got the house to ourselves!"

"Is that so?" He asked kissing my lips lightly. "Uhuh." I managed to get out.

"Well I guess we better make the most of then, shouldn't we!" Brax whispered, getting up and helping me up too.
