Chapter 16:
Hey guys,
Firstly, I'd just like to say, I'm a bit disappointed from the lack of reviews. There important for a writer, to maintain momentam and continue.. They don't have to be long at all, just a sentence even, makes me happy. Thanks to those, that always do, I appreciate it very much! :)
Here's the next chapter for you! It's a bit of a filler chapter, not really that great in my opinion. It involves two new characters, which I've made up. They will be in the next few chapters, as part of a new plot I've thought of… Hope you enjoy it! (Sorry I haven't had time to proof-read)
One last thing... I have a new story! I'm really excited to post it up here for you guys! It's going to be called Moving Forward. Check it out and let me know what you think.. I'm posting it after this one is up :)
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
I woke up, on Saturday morning, unable to sleep. It was 9:00 and all I could hear was the constant sounds of a truck reversing with that annoying safety beep. I got up and secretly looked out the blinds, making sure not to be seen I realised, the new neighbours would be moving into the small little house next door. I smiled as I looked back at the bed to see Brax staring at me with a smile. It'd been a week since he'd gotten out of hospital. Last night, Leah and VJ were at Miles and Ruby was staying with Casey. I had finally given Brax what he had been dying and begging me for, all week.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked, while laughing embarrassed.
"I'm just taking in your beauty. You're the most beautiful sight to wake up too... Have you got new neighbours next door?" He smiled back. "Why are you blushing Charlie" He added, shuffling and sitting up slightly.
"I don't know. You make me nervous or something. And also embarrassed when you say nice things to me like that. There's a removalist out there that is taking out boxes, so there must be. What do you reckon they'll be like?"
"Well, we could spend all day talking about them, or you could come back and lay in bed with me, until well 4 more hours, snuggling amongst other things that we need to continue catching up on."
"And what are these other things you speak of?" I asked in an attempted French / posh accent"
"Well, ma 'lady, come over here and I'll show you." He lifted his arms out wide, wanting me in his arms. I smiled, as I went a jumped onto the bed, and onto him, maybe a tad too enthusiastic.
BRAX'S P.O.V
Charlie and I decided to get out of bed properly, at about 11:00AM. I needed to head home and hopefully get a shower, before I started at Angelo's for the lunch time shift. While Charlie went to the toilet and found some clothes to put on, I headed into her kitchen, to make a quick coffee. It may have been almost midday, but it felt so early still.
As I waited for the kettle to boil, I felt Charlie's arms snake around my waist, from behind, while her head rested on my back. I smiled, pulling her in from of me so I could see her. "What are you doing missy?" I asked her, swinging from side to side with her, hugging her tightly.
"I missed you already. I got cold, and wanted my heater back."
"Oh right, is that all I am to you, a heater?" I asked, grinning.
"Yeah, you keep me warm, in your big strong bear arms. It's rather prefect actually." I tightened my arms around her, keeping her warm.
"Glad I could be of service to you gorgeous. What about when you don't need heating up though?"
"Ahh well you see, there's this guy, he looks fairly similar to you actually. He's very hot and charming, sweet and pretty funny. I love spending time with him, whenever I can. I just so happen to be in love with him…..Jokes aside, can you stay Brax"
"Charlieeeeeeee. I moaned. "I've gotta get to work, it Sunday, all the families will be coming in for lunch." I looked at her, as she brought her eyes to mine. She moved her lips to my neck, seductively, before leant in and kissed me slowly, I didn't pull away, as her tongue entered my mouth persuasively. "Please Brax?" She giggled pulling away breathlessly, with puppy dog eyes.
"God woman." I laughed, as I gipped her bottom, pulling her so she was hanging off my waist. "yay!" She squealed, clapping her hands like a little kid, as I felt her body press against my groin. I could tell what she was trying to do. Her hands wrapped around my neck, as I carried her to the couch and dropped her on it gently, before resting on top of her, kissing her passionately. Our tongues collided into each others mouths, hurriedly. I spent the next 10 minutes in the same position, before things got too heated, I pulled away, breathlessly from Charlie. "I really have to go now, baby." I told her as she followed me to the door. "I might see you later yeah?" I asked, hopeful, of spending the night with her again.
"Of course. I'll call you." She smiled, bringing her lips to mine one last time, before I left.
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
Brax leaving, sort of had me at a loose end. I went and had a shower, before going outside to check the mail and check out the new neighbours next door. That same guy was still there, with his mate. I assumed he was moving in too, as flatmates. He raised his hand and waved slowly at me with a smile on his face.
I smiled and walked over to the one I saw this morning, with my mail in hand. "Hi there, you moving in here?" I asked dumbly. He had no shirt on, and had dark brown hair, about as tall as Brax.
"Yeah, me and my mate Josh are going to turn this place into a bachelor pad. I'm Mitch by the way."
"Charlie, nice to meet you" I smiled, taking it and shaking it gently.
"So you live next door, just there?"
"Yep, with my daughter, one my friends and her son."
"Cool!"
"Yeah.. I better let you get back to moving and unpacking; otherwise you'll be here until midnight! It was nice to meet you Mitch!" He nodded, as I smiled and walked back to go inside.
They seemed nice enough. The last neighbours we had, were very annoying and noisy.
11PM:
I laid on the lounge, aimlessly waiting for Brax to come over after finishing his shift. I flicked over, and over all the channels trying to found something even remotely worth watching. Zero, absolutely nothing. I smiled as I felt my phone vibrate, beside me.
"Hey babe. I'm probably not going to be done here, for another hour or so. Do you just wanna get some sleep, and I'll come round tomorrow?"
I sighed before chucking the phone next to me. It was a cold night and out of all nights, I wanted my heater with me. I got my keys and discretely and quietly exited the house, trying not to wake the others that were asleep.
I walked up the stairs, and smiled as I saw Brax at the table counting money from the tills.
"Sorry were closed" He said, not looking up, from what he was doing, to see who I was.
"What, even for me?" I replied. He immediately looked up and smiled before, getting off the chair and walking towards me. "What are you doing here? It's late Charlie, you should be trying to get some sleep." He whispered kissing me quickly.
"I couldn't sleep without you. It's cold tonight and I wanted my heater.
Plus… I wanted to show you my new underwear I brought the other day."
I watched as Brax laughed a little, before turning around and addressing his staff that remained also. "Ey boys, you guys head home yeah? I'll finish here. Thanks heaps for all the work you's have done today." They all nodded, as Brax and I waited patiently for them to grab their things and exit.
"So where were we?" Brax asked turning his attention back to me, and kissing me forcefully.
"Office" He asked, against my lips. I nodded as he starting walking backwards towards it without looking where he was going, refusing to break the kiss, or let go of me.
He let go of me, and quickly moved everything off his desk. All his pens, bits of paper and folders were in a huge confusing mess all over the office, scattered everything.
He turned around and gently lifted me onto the desk before climbing on top of me and kissing me ardently...
I shall leave it there, I'm sure you guys can use your imagination to figure out what happens next…. lol! Sorry it wasn't overly long again, I try to update more often when there smaller... Like I said before, this one was kind of a filler chapter, I literally started writing an hour ago.
