Thank you so much to everyone who has being reading and reviewing this story. I've decided that this will be the last chapter as I feel like this story isn't really going anywhere and it keeps dragging. Also, I'm so busy with school and everything. I hope you've liked this story and all your reviews have been much appreciated. xx
Chapter Thirty Four
Brax's P.O.V.
Immediately after getting off the phone with Brodie, I made my way down to the police station as quickly as I could. It was fortunate for us that Charlie was the only copper down at the station as it would be easier for both her and me to get Brodie off his charges. I'll definitely have it in for him afterwards though, as he was an idiot for not listening to us and getting caught with the drugs.
Pulling up to the police station felt a little strange nowadays as I hadn't been there for awhile as us boys have reduced our chances of getting caught by the coppers. Luckily it was still only Charlie who was in the station as it was just her car which was parked in sight.
I entered the station and there sat Brodie waiting for me. Charlie was working at the front desk, who slid a smile at me when she saw me walk in. It felt a little awkward knowing that Brodie was the only other person in the room, especially seeing as he knew we were together. To avoid any awkwardness, and in case any other officer came in anytime soon, Charlie quickly gave me the papers to sign so that Brodie and I could leave soon after.
Charlie's P.O.V.
As soon as Brax and Brodie left the station, I texted him, asking if we could have some private time together later tonight. Leah had taken VJ to the city, and I figured that it would be pretty easy to convince Ruby to stay out of the house for the night. The shift at work was getting awfully boring, and I really needed something to look forward to once I got myself out of the station.
Brax's P.O.V.
As I was waiting at the lights, I heard my phone beep. "My place tonight? Does 7pm sound good to you? Love, Charlie xx" I couldn't help myself but smile.
"Why the cheesy grin?" Brodie asked.
"You, keep your mouth shut. I still haven't dealt with you yet," I said to him. I pulled up at his driveway. He took his seat belt off, but couldn't get out as I immediately locked the doors.
"Whaaaat..?" Brodie said, looking at me puzzled.
"Mate, do you know how much trouble you caused today? Charlie and I told you to leave everything alone, yet you took some and got caught by the police," I said angrily.
"I know, I'm sorry Brax," he replied.
"Sorry isn't good enough mate. I only tell you boys to stop doing these things to keep you all safe."
"I know, I'm sorry," Brodie repeated. "Is that it?"
"Is that what?" I asked.
"Well I don't want to give you ideas, but usually you use actions rather than words..."
I got where he was coming from. "Nah mate, I've come to my senses that violence isn't the answer."
I unlocked the door to let him get out. "Buckton's really gotten into you Brax..." I heard him say under his breath.
"Yeah, yeah she has, but for the right reasons," I thought to myself. Before heading off back home, I quickly flicked a reply to Charlie. "Yeah, sure. Looking forward to it xx."
Charlie's P.O,V.
Every time my phone went, I would always check to see if it was Brax. An hour had passed and I had given up hope. "Charlie, your phone," Watson called over to me as I was speaking to one of the other constables. Before I knew it, she had already picked it up and looked to see who it was from. A raced towards her and tried to snatch my phone from her, but it was too late.
"Who's DB?" she asked.
My heart was pounding, and it was obvious that my face was blushing extremely hard. "Give me that," I said to her.
She handed it over, but unfortunately she didn't drop the conversation. "So, who's DB?" she repeated.
"Nobody," I said quickly.
"Ah huh," she replied, obviously not believing me.
"Just drop it okay?" I asked.
She ignored me. "So, are you going out tonight?"
"That's none of your business," I snapped.
Luckily, my shift was over so I ran out of the door to avoid any more questions.
Once I reached home, it was already 6pm. That spared me an hour before Brax would come over.
"Ruby!" I called out.
Within seconds, she was standing right next to me. "Oh, you're home," I said.
"Oh wow, obviously trying to not sound so disappointed..." she said.
"Baby girl, I'm sorry!" I said quickly. "Haven't you got plans tonight?" I asked.
"Uh... No?" she said.
"Oh..."
Ruby, being the queen of jumping to conclusions, quickly spoke up. "Having some mysterious guy over are we?"
I said nothing, but felt my cheeks blush.
"Have you already moved on from Brax!" she yelled.
"Shush! Ruby, lower your voice down!" Luckily, her phone rang before I had to answer her. She dived off into her room to answer it.
"Well that was weird," Ruby said, as she returned to the living room after speaking on the phone.
"What is weird?" I asked her.
"Well... Casey just asked if I wanted to spend the night with him..."
"Phew," I thought in my head. "What's so weird about that?" I asked Ruby. "Did something go on between you two?"
"No, no, of course not! It's not that. It's just that you asked if I had plans tonight, and now all of a sudden, I do. Are you sure that you and Case aren't planning something?" she asked me jokingly.
"No, nothing that I know of," I answered.
Ruby's P.O.V.
A knock was heard from the door. It must have been Charlie's mystery guy as Casey obviously wouldn't be picking me up seeing as our house isn't that far away. I went to open the door. There stood Brax in the doorway. "Err... Hi?" I said.
"Aren't you pleased to see me?" he joked.
"No, I am, but what are you doing here?" At the same time, I heard Charlie dashing to the door.
"Brax, it's not even 7pm yet!" she said.
"I thought I'd surprise you!" Brax replied.
"Am I the only one who has no idea about what's going on?" I asked.
Neither of the two needed to answer me. I realised what was going on when Brax walked in and kissed Charlie. "Oh ew, I'm going now. Here's the house, all for yourselves." I said, and quickly ran out the door.
