Chapter 16

Charlie's P.O.V

''So where were we' Angelo said as he came and grabbed my hand walking around me and up the staircase.

I walked up with him and into the room; he was still holding my hand and was walking towards the bed. I don't know where it came from but for some reason I snapped,

''NO! This is wrong, I shouldn't be here'' I went to the wardrobe and pulled out the first thing there, I slipped on the dress down my body and ran out of the house, I could hear Angelo saying something but it was all muffled, I couldn't make out anything, it was like I was in auto pilot mode. I was driving towards his house, he had to be home, he had to know nothing happened and most of all he needed to know that I loved him. I love him. Simple.

Brax's P.O.V

''It happens tonight''

''It's too risky Brax, why are you being careless'' Heath was pleading with me but right now I couldn't care less. All the boys had been bugging me about this crop my arch enemy Jake Pirovic had. It had been a plan that I had been thinking about for a while, I just needed a few minor details that needed looking over but honestly I couldn't be bothered. I needed something to take my mind of what I had seen earlier, something that would consume my mind other than the fact that man, that dog had his hands all over my girl and she let him. Why, that was the only question, she said, no she promised as soon as he was back she would break up with him, obviously her idea of breaking up with someone is jumping in their bed.

''Brax are you listening, we are not doing this, you are not thinking straight, this is Jake, if he gets the slightest waft that it was us who stole his crop then you know he will want revenge''

''Heath there is a reason why I am the leader of the River Boys and not you, so what I say goes.'' He was going to respond but I just gave him the eyes, he shrugged his shoulders and started to ring the boys.

After about ten minutes, I sat on the couch with a gun in my hand, not my work one but a personal one, in front of me a map of the national park and I had marked out exactly where the crop was and where we was going to be. The only thing I didn't know was where Jakes gang were and whether they were there at all keeping guard. There were a lot of things that could go wrong, but yeah I had to divert my mind away from her so this was how it was going to be.

'' right so simple, as always me and you will keep the general look out, around this area here'' I circled an area on the map where Heath and I would be, I then pointed and explained the where the rest were going to be.

''what if this goes wrong''

''it won't''

''Brax if..''

''God dammitt Heath, this will run as smoothly as I want it to, were stealing a crop not going to bloody war''

''we might as well be'' he retorted trying to act smart.

''yeah well we are not, so let's just relax until the boys get here, go grab us a drink, might as well start this night off on a high''

He came back with two drinks and clinked his bottle with mine,

''Cheers'' we said in unison.

We both took a swig before I heard Heath chuckle,

''What you laughing at doofus''

''you''

I slapped him around the head, ''why''

''you fight crime during the day and then at night you are the criminal''

''pretty decent disguise I reckon'' I laughed at how long I had gotten away with it too and no one had ever suspected anything.

''weird how you're a policeman and the leader of a gang who sell, grow and steal drugs''

''yeah well sometimes life's hard, and Heath, I might do all them things but before being the copper, the gang leader before all that I'm your brother and don't you ever forget that''

''Blood and Sand'' he told me as we shook our hands, we then heard a clattering come from outside the door, like something fell over, I got up as quick as possible from my seat and went to open the door, on the other side I saw Charlie stood there trying to make the surf boards lean against the wall without clambering over again. I moved them back and she stood there staring at me, burning a hole in to my back.

The intensity I could feel from her staring told me she had heard more than she bargained for, without turning to look at her I spoke,

''I am not going to apologize for what you just heard''

And with that I walked back inside, leaving the door opened, she could do what she wished, walk in or go away. She chose to walk in because I heard the door close and then I had been spun around, I felt something sting my face. She slapped me and then started to punch at my chest,

''You...are ...unbelievable... fucking... unbelievable Darryl Braxton'' she spaced each word with a punch, ''you liar'' I grabbed her hands and pushed her against the door, the force used was a little bit more than what I intended, nothing that would harm her, I pinned her arms above her head,

''you shouldn't have heard all that so now if you can't deal with it, it's not my fault'' I let go of her hands and she let them slide to her side before she picked her left hand and was about to slap me again, I grabbed it before she could,

''No, no, you listen to me now, you have two options, go home or arrest me''

''are you stupid'' Heath shouted from the back, I actually had forgotten he was around.

''she knows too much''

''So what do you want me to do then'' I barked at him,

''I don't know but something''

''if you don't know then keep your gob shut'' I turned to look at Charlie,

''and just for the record I'm not the liar here'' I hissed at her, I let go of her and retreated to my room, I grabbed my jacket and walked back out, Charlie was still stood in the same spot as I had left her in earlier and Heath was staring at her.

''Let's go''

''what about her? ''

''well she has her options, she can do as she bloody well pleases''

Charlie moved away from the door as Heath opened it and made his way to the cars.

I grabbed the map from earlier, then I grabbed her hand and put it in her palm, she clasped at it,

''this will tell you exactly where I am, the balls in your court, let's see how much I meant to you'' I moved forward and pecked her cheek slightly, I let it linger slightly, for the last time taken in her fragrance, she moved her face not away but she turned it towards me and caught my lips, she bit my bottom lip, temptation taking over, she let go, my hand cascaded to the back of her head I pulled her closer to me, this time I latched my lips to hers, we both fell into this oblivion,

''Braa...'' she moaned a mixture of pleasure and an urge to speak,

''Brax'' she managed to get the whole word out this time and I broke away, her face merely centimetres away from mine,

''We need to talk'' she said, barely inaudible, her breath hot and sweet on my skin, I watched as she took these breathless breaths that were making me lust for her. Her hand resting on my waist, I lifted it off me and moved a step back,

''nah Charlie there is no we'' and with that I walked away.

Whatever we had, whatever feelings we shared, them moments of lust were there but it was different. I walked out of the house knowing that I had just left a part of me in there but as they say good things never last.
