Chapter 15

Charlie's Point of view

I had decided after Ruby got home I would let her sleep and talk to her in the morning, but by the time I had got up, she was gone. I decided seeing it was a Saturday morning to go down the beach to see if she was there. I noticed Ruby on the beach with Casey and Brax. Brax had her on a surfboard on the sand, teaching her how to surf. "It would have been nice if you told me where you were going this morning" I walked up to them, looking at Ruby. She shot me a filthy look before Brax intervened.

"You know what Casey, why don't you come and help me set up for the lunch rush at Angelo's." He patted Casey on the shoulder. Casey looked at me and nodded.

"I'll come" Ruby piped up.

"Ah nah Rubes…I think you and Charlie need to talk" Brax nodded at me.

"Thanks" I mouthed to him before watching Casey and him walk off. "Can we talk about last night Ruby?" I sat down on the sand next to her.

"Why? You going to tell me who I can and can't see?" Ruby snapped back.

"No…I want to apologise for yelling at you and Casey last night. I was just shocked that's all…I don't want you making the same mistakes I did and after talking to Brax last night, he convinced me that Casey is a good guy…and if you want to see him or date him then…go right ahead…what ever makes you happy. I know how hard its been for you to move here and I'm sorry for making it even harder" I nodded at her. She looked at me with her big blue eyes and smiled.

"I'm sorry too Charlie…I didn't mean to yell at you either" She hugged me tightly. I kissed her forehead and broke away. "So you mean to say that I can go out with Casey?" She smiled at me.

"Yeah…just as long as you don't hang around any of the other River Boys" I told her sternly.

"I promise…thank you Charlie!" She squealed before jumping up and running up towards Angelo's, passing Brax on his way back down.

"I assume that went well then?" He smiled before picking up the spare board Ruby had been using.

"Yeah it did…I took your advice…hopefully it works" I chuckled.

"Ruby's got some good technique when it comes to surfing…would it be alright if Case and I gave her a few lessons in the future…I think she'll be a natural in the water" Brax replied.

"Um…yeah, sure. Its fine with me, if its fine with her" I nodded. "Well I should go get ready for work" I nodded awkwardly before walking off.

"Charlie…wait!" He stopped me. I turned and looked at him. "The boys and I are having a bit of a house warming barbeque tonight if you were interested in coming" He had a smirk across his face.

"I'll think about it" I nodded before giving him a little smile. I got home and got ready for work before heading to the station. "Watson you're with me on patrol. I want to see if any of the river boys are causing any trouble at the beach" I walked out of my office.

"Sure thing" She smiled before grabbing the keys to the patrol car. As we were driving towards Summer Bay, Watson and I were talking casually. "So I seen you down the beach this morning talk to Darryl Braxton" She commented.

"Ah yes…he's my next door neighbour and my sister is now dating Casey Braxton" I rolled my eyes in her direction.

"Ah I see…well at least now you can now go and scope out their house with the excuse that you're borrowing a cup of sugar" She laughed before pulling into the car park of the surf club. We walked the top of the beach before seeing a suspicious Heath Braxton with a backpack, looking at us before power walking away.

"Mr Braxton…fine day for a walk" I smiled at him as we caught up to him heading towards his car.

"Its alright I suppose" He mumbled, trying to walk past us.

"Care to show us what's in the bag?" Watson and I followed.

"Actually Constable…and Sergeant I'm quite busy" He went to open the door before I pushing him gently into it and threw the bag to Watson.

"We asked nicely" I held his hands behind his back as Watson looked through the bag.

"Care to explain what this is?" Watson pulled out a few small bags of dried cannabis leaves.

"I've never seen that before in my life. You pigs set me up" He tried to play dumb.

"Mr Braxton, I'm arresting you under the charge of drug possession. You are not obliged to say or do anything unless you wish to do so, but whatever you say or do may be used in evidence. Do you understand Mr Braxton?" I cuffed him.

"This is fucking police brutality!" He snorted as we put him in the car and drove him to the station. After interviewing and charging him he was put into a see before bail was granted and he made a phone call first to a lawyer and then to…

"WHERE IS HE?" Brax stormed into the station glaring at me.

"He's in the cell. We've charged him with drug possession and we are now testing the cannabis found on him against the cannabis crop we found a few weeks earlier that your brothers car was suspiciously seen driving around at the time.

"Well I want to bail him out!" He continued glaring. I handed him over the paperwork before walking out to get Heath.

"Finally bro!" Heath looked relieved as he seen his brother. Brax was pissed, not only at me, but at Heath as well. Very interesting indeed.

Brax's Point of view

I signed all the forms and handed over the cash to bail Heath out before glaring at Charlie and leaving. How could something so beautiful be wrapped up in with the cops? She was making it so much harder for me to not find her attractive. "You fucking idiot!" I pushed Heath up to my car and sneered at him.

"I'm sorry bro…I was trying to get rid of it in case the cops came crawling through the national park again or even around the house" He tried to justify himself as he pushed me away.

"Use your fucking head next time! Because of you I might not have the money to bail you out next time! And you're probably going to be sent to gaol! Your record from juvi doesn't do you any good either!" I hopped in the car and drove him home. We got inside only to find Ruby and Casey on the sofa making out.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" Heath practically yelled at Casey.

"Ruby, I think you should go" I sighed before pointing towards the door.

"What the fuck are you doing with a pigs sister Case?" Heath continued to yell at Casey who just shook his head and followed Ruby out.

"Now I've got to go back to work…can you promise me that you won't get into any more trouble while I'm gone?" I asked.

"Yeah sure…just make sure you bring home some booze for the house warming tonight" He got himself a beer out of the fridge before flopping on the sofa.

"After today you really think that's on?" I shook my head before storming out.

Charlie's Point of View

After a successful shift I headed home only to find Bianca and Ruby both dollying themselves up. "What's going on here?" I chuckled at them both in the bathroom doing their make up.

"The Braxton's house warming…you going?" Bianca asked as she curled her eyelashes.

"Um after today I don't think its going to be on" I shook my head. The both looked at me confused. "I arrested Heath on a charge of drug possession" I shrugged my shoulders.

"That explains why he was in such a bad mood when I was over there this arvo" Ruby explained.

"You're joking!" Bianca stormed out. "He told me he had stopped all that!" Bianca yelled.

"Bi, you knew what you were getting into when you started sleeping with him" I sighed. She shook her head before looking at me.

"Stuff this, the music over there is pumping so I'm going and having a good time…maybe I can even punch Heath in the face while I'm there" Bianca stood up before heading back to the bathroom.

"Ruby are you really going to go?" I questioned my sisters plans.

"Yeah Casey and I are just going to hang out and if things get rowdy we'll probably come back here…don't worry about me" She kissed my cheek before leaving.

"Wait…I'll come too…just to make sure everything is legal" I groaned before quickly letting down my hair and getting changed into a pair of shorts and a singlet top. We headed over and through the back gate. I was hoping Brax and Heath wouldn't see me because I knew after today I wouldn't be welcome. There were too many people for Heath to even notice and Brax was nowhere to be seen. I got myself a drink and Bianca and I watched as Casey and Ruby sat down talking. Bianca soon spotted Heath before angrily walking over to him, pulling his arm and dragging him inside the house to obviously yell at him. I was now alone and had no reason to be here until…

"What the fuck is going on here?" Brax walked in through the back gate and looked at all the drunks in his backyard. I quickly headed inside the house so he didn't see me. Walking past Heath's room the familiar laugh of Bianca was heard along with a few moans and groans. I pulled a disgusted face as I continued walking past and into the kitchen.

"Fucking hell Heath! When you're done in there I'm going to kill you!" I heard Brax's voice yell as he banged on Heath's bedroom door before he walked into the kitchen and found me. "What are you doing here?" He asked, starting to get defensive.

"You invited me" I nodded, backing up against the counter.

"Well after today I am un-inviting you!" He pointed as he came closer.

"Hey its not my fault your brother had drugs on him" I replied back. He shook his head before leaning into me.

"Get out of my house now!" His gorgeous eyes were raging, making him look somewhat more attractive.

"What are you going to do if I don't?" I smirked. I wanted to have some fun with him, see how far this could go. He smirked back before shaking his head.

"You may be a cop, but under that tough exterior I know there is just a vulnerable little girl who is just looking at playing games with people. But guess what sweetheart…I'm not up for any of your games!" He hissed into my ear before placing a kiss on it.

"You have no idea what I'm capable of" I grabbed his jaw between one hand and smirked before he pulled away. I walked past him before feeling his large hand pull me back and push me up against the wall.

"I've got a pretty good idea actually" He smirked back. My heart was starting to pound and I could feel my breathing quickening as those eyes bore into me. "Can you feel this as much as I can?" He asked, trailing his finger along my collarbone. I shuddered at his touch before snapping back to reality.

"No…I can't" I pushed him away before going to leave out the front door.

"Oh come on Charlie" He shook his head following me. I shook my head before standing on my tippy toes and placing a slow, passionate kiss on his lips. Breaking away I gave him a small smiling before leaving. One kiss wouldn't hurt. He knew he wasn't getting anymore.
