Hi... Big apologies as for being such a slacker, so sorry but guess what... this is a chapter! Whoop whoop...

Please bare with me lovely readers as I have not written anything for a while and I am just trying to get back into the mojo of writing. Oh and if something doesn't flow sorry, like I said it's been a while... also I know there was all that Grant business and all the case stuff that was happening but to be quite honest writing about that doesn't appeal to me no more so what I am going to do is put all that to rest and concentrate on Chax and their relationship. How does that sound?

Anyhooos I should stop rambling and get on with the chapter, I do hope I have some readers left, Enjoy!

Brax's P.O.V

I walked inside to my house and plonked myself next to Heath who was already slumped on the couch drinking beer and watching the game. I grabbed the beer out of his hands and took a long swig of the cold liquid; it stung the back of my throat.

''Oi, that's mine''

''well it's mine now, get another and get me one too'' ''now'' I snapped

''Alright keep your hair on'' Heath snapped right back at me.

I was seriously not in the mood for this, I just wanted to sit back, relax, get drunk and not have to worry about anything. I took my phone out, 17 messages and a countless number of missed calls. I went in to the call log and as expected they were from Casey and a few from Charlie. I scrolled through a few, nothing important apart from Casey asking about Alexa and Charlie asking if I was okay.

Alexa was gone and I had crossed a line that should never be crossed. Everything else was okay I think.

''so what's got you in a nark'' Heath asked as he passed me the bottle, the coldness caught me a little off guard.

I just shrugged my shoulders at him before throwing my head back.

''Right okay, if you wanna talk I'm here, but now I'm off to see Bianca''

''what's going on between the two of you, Heath don't be stupid, just for a bit of fun don't mess her around, she is getting married soon''

''I know bro, this is different''

And with that he left the house.

Different, yeah it always is I thought to myself.

Charlie's P.O.V

I walked into work, eager to see Brax, because I had some news for him, Angelo was back, I was greeted with a text from him this morning saying he was heading home today, I know it would be hard and cruel to break up with him after his mum just died but it was something I had to do.

I signed myself in and saw that Brax was already here, I walked into the office and he stood facing out the window, it was surprising but he was wearing uniform today, the shirt was tight and snug and made him look very appealing. I was surprised when he didn't turn around when I walked in and shut the door, it wasn't like Brax so I walked up to him and snaked my arms around his waist, he tensed up a little so I kissed his shoulder, he didn't reciprocate instead he removed my arms from his waist and went and sat down on his chair,

''Erm that's not very nice''

'Please Charlie I am not in the mood so let's leave it'' he told me with a bit of an angry undertone.

''fine, do you not want to know what I have to tell you either''

''No'' his reply was short but blunt and put me in my place.

Work was a drag, we got called out a few times, kids messing, a domestic and a car break in, the drive was awkward and no conversation took place, I didn't even try talking to him, if he was in a nark. I don't see why he needs to take it out on me. Our last call out was to the car break in and luckily for us the perpetrator was still attacking the side mirrors, we arrested him and I went to open the back door same time as Brax, our hands touched and there was that jolt of electricity that went through me, he laughed slightly and went and sat in. I hoped to God he felt what I did and would speak to me. Unfortunately not, he didn't say a word, so all day we had not spoke. Suited me fine.

Five o clock came, I picked up my jacket and headed out of the station at the end of my shift, I seen Brax come out of the males but I didn't wait around to speak to him.

I first went to Leah's, got out of my work clothes and then back to my residence where me and Angelo lived. Even though me and Brax were at a glitch for whatever reason, I still sent him a text.

Hey if you want to talk, I will be at my house, the one I share with Angelo, when you are ready to listen I have something to tell you...

I parked next to Angelo's car, I got out of the car and sucked my breath in, letting out a big sigh, this was it.

I walked in, the house was quiet, not a sound, I then walked upstairs and I saw him in the bathroom.

I let out a little laugh, Angelo was covered in water, the shower was spitting water everywhere,

''Need some help'' I startled him, he jumped and looked around,

''Please, dint think having a shower would prove this difficult''

I got some towels and started mopping the floor whilst Angelo tackled the shower.

''okay I think I got it, better call of that plumber'' I got up and before I could comprehend what was happening, he leant into me and gave me a kiss on my lips, I was a little taken a back and broke away without trying to alarm him. I felt bad as he smiled at me,

''It's good to be home''

The shower then sprayed a little water again and this time both of us were wet but thankfully it stopped.

''we better get changed'' Angelo said as he grabbed me from the back, tickling me, this was weird, awkward to say the least, after having Brax touch me and now Angelo, it was surreal how much I missed Brax, Angelo lifted me off the ground and I went rigid, he was oblivious to this and started going towards our bedroom, damn that sounded stupid too, our bedroom, he put me down on the bed and he tugged at the bottom of my top, it was like I was in a trance and not one of them good trances where you want to be there. I couldn't even get the words out of my mouth to tell him to stop, I lay there now with just my jeans and bra on, I was screaming inside my head to stop, I just needed to find a way to vocalise it now. I looked to the side, knowing Angelo was about to lower his lips onto mine, instead he met with my cheek and he then got up and took of his top and was about to lower himself back down on me. I could feel his breath on my skin, it was repulsive and then the door bell rang. It couldn't have come at a better time, I pushed Angelo of me,

''You better get that'' I told him matter of factly,

He sighed and went down topless, I grabbed my top quickly, it was soaked so I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me, I took my jeans off too and went down to see who it was.

I couldn't see who it was walking down the steps, Angelo must have heard my footsteps, he turned around and the person stood in the doorway came into view.

Brax!

He looked at me from top to bottom and then at Angelo and then back at me, then it clicked, he must have thought we had done it already hence why I had a towel around me. I literally saw his face and it made my heart break. He didn't say anything, nor acknowledged what he had seen, he just turned around and away from the house. I heard him slam the car door and sped off with ridiculous speed...

What have I done, I thought to myself. With Brax I had this confidence, I felt strong around him but as soon as I am with Angelo I'm that weak unconfident women who can't even say stop. Have I just lost the one man I truly love?

-x-

Ooh Angelo's back (boohoos) so sorry, should I just go back into hiding again?

I'm not going be to cheeky and say please review coz of my lack of updates. so yeah just enjoy and stick with it..

Thanks
