Chapter 17

Charlie's Point of view

It had been a week since Heath had been arrested and a court date had been set, along with a fancy lawyer arriving in town to represent him; Hayley O'Conner. I had met her in the city a while back when she was only an intern, but now she was a hotshot lawyer who had her eyes on only 2 things; getting Heath off charges and Brax. Bianca and I decided it would be nice to take April and Ruby out to dinner without their boyfriends as distractions. As soon as we walked in Brax and Heath were standing at the bar, along with Hayley, wearing a short blue dress. I rolled my eyes before sitting down at a table. A waiter soon brought us menus and soon enough Brax was taking over our table. "So can I get you ladies anything to drink?" He asked with a smirk, his eyes not leaving mine for a second.

"I'll get a glass of the Chardonnay" I broke away from his stare and looked down at my menu.

"Make that a bottle" Bianca continued as she stared at Heath who was having a laugh with Hayley.

"And we'll both get an orange juice" April smiled, ordering for both her and Ruby. Brax continued smirking at me before walking away.

"Gosh that man gets on my nerves!" I hissed as soon as he was out of ear reach.

"Well he hasn't taken his eyes off you, the entire time we've been here" Ruby commented, smiling.

"Shut up!" I laughed.

"Yeah and that Lawyer hasn't taken her eyes off the both of them!" Bianca scoffed, glaring at her.

"Someone seems jealous" April replied with a smirk.

"Am not! Heath's a good for nothing, drug…oh who am I kidding, he's gorgeous!" She gave in. We all laughed as Brax came back with the juices and the wine.

"Thanks" I continued looking at the menu.

"Are you all ready to order?" He asked. Ruby and April both nodded and told him their order before Bianca and I decided on ours. I watched as Brax walked back to the bar, my eyes set on his perfect backside. He got behind the bar and seen me staring before smirking. I quickly snapped my eyes away, feeling my cheeks blushing. Soon enough Bianca and I were onto our second bottle of wine and dinner had been served.

"So how's Casey doing?" I asked my younger sister as we ate.

"Alright I suppose. Him and Brax said that my surfing is improving" She laughed. After a lot of conversation between all of us Casey walked in noticing Ruby.

"Hey" She stood up and kissed him.

"I was just going home to watch some movies if you wanted to come?" He asked.

"Charlie, I'm going to head off with Casey…I'll see you later" Ruby kissed my cheek.

"So much for our girls night!" I scoffed as she left. I watched as April looked at her phone.

"Actually I was going to ask if I could take the car and go to Dex's place?" April looked at Bianca.

"Fine! Go ahead! Drive safe please!" Bianca took another gulp of wine before waving goodbye to April. "Opps…sign I've had a little too much to drink…I'm just going to duck to the loo then we can walk home yeah" Bianca got up and walked towards to toilets. I watched as Hayley eventually got up and left, kissing Brax on the cheek on her way out. I looked at Brax standing behind the bar before noticing his eyes on me. He walked over and sat across from me smiling.

"Girls night huh? Too bad you're all alone now ay" He chuckled.

"Bianca's just gone to the bathroom" I stated, running my finger along the edge of my wine glass.

"I wouldn't speak too soon" He nodded up at Bianca and Heath talking by the stairs. I looked at Bianca before she mouthed 'Sorry' to me before winking and taking Heath's hand, walking down the stairs together.

"Well I don't want to know what they're doing" I rolled my eyes and standing up myself. "Can I grab the bill please" I asked Brax, before looking around the empty restaurant. He walked around the bar before handing me the receipt. "And of course they leave me with an expensive bill" I shook my head, reaching into my handbag, pulling out the money to give Brax. His hand touched mine briefly before I pulled away. "Keep the change" I walked off.

"Wait Charlie…are you planning on walking home? Because I can give you a lift if you want" Brax stopped me.

"No, its fine" I headed down the stairs and out of the surf club. As soon as I got outside I noticed the full moon, highlighting the beach and the tide coming in beautifully. I smiled before taking my heels off and walking down to sit on the empty beach. Summer Bay was honestly such a beautiful town, too bad I was here to arrest some of the not so beautiful people. After a while I headed back up to the surf club, only to find Brax locking up and heading towards his car.

"What are you still doing here? Waiting for me ay?" He chuckled.

"Oh don't flatter yourself" I rolled my eyes. "No, I was just thinking how gorgeous the moon looked across the beach" I smiled, looking out towards it again.

"Yeah, its definitely something you don't see every day" He nodded. I watched his blue green eyes twinkle in the moonlight before shaking my head and walking off. "Hey wait…Charlie, just let me give you a lift home. A young girl like you shouldn't be walking home by herself at this time of night" Brax followed me.

"Brax I'll be fine" I rolled my eyes.

"Charlie its cold, now will you get in the god damn car!" He snapped, opening the passenger door of his black ute for me.

"Fine" I gave in. The drive home was silent and awkward seeing as the last time I was in this car Brax and I had started off making out then ended up snapping at each other and not talking since. He parked out the front of his house and we both got out.

"Do you want me to walk you to the door?" He asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'm sure I'll be fine" I chuckled.

"You never know…some criminal might be hiding in the bushes, ready to jump you" He laughed, following me to the front door.

"What like your brother? Somehow I think he's a little busy with Bianca at the moment" I shook my head as I got out my keys.

"That's a bit harsh Charlie" He started to walk back.

"Brax wait…I'm sorry" I stopped him. That was a bit harsh, but it was true. "Do you want to come in for…a coffee or tea or something?" I tried to act nice in front of the guy.

"You're inviting me in for tea or coffee?" He scoffed.

"First and last time!" I smirked, opening the door to my empty house and letting him in.

"That's what you said about the kiss and the boob fondle if I recall…but we both know that wasn't true" He smirked back. He knew he had hit a nerve.

"They meant nothing to me! What about you and that lawyer…you two seem a little too cosy" I stated.

"Why…are you jealous Charlie?" He asked, walking closer to me, backing me up towards the bench.

"No…No, why would I be?" I stuttered. He just smiled before closing in on me, placing a strand of my hair behind my ear. "Maybe you should go" I breathed out, getting that familiar pounding in my chest when ever he was this close to me.

"Maybe I should, but you don't want me to" He whispered, looking straight into my eyes, hypnotising me. And that's when I pounced. We were all over each other, his tongue halfway down my throat as my hands weaved through his hair, pulling me closer to him. He lifted me up onto the bench before I wrapped my legs around his waist. His lips moved towards my neck as I moaned. He picked me up off the bench and dropped me down on the sofa before leaning over me. Our lips found each other again before I palmed his clothed chest, desperately wanting his shirt off.

"I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" a familiar voice brought me back to reality as I heard my sister on the front porch.

"Quick…in my room, now!" I pushed Brax off me and watched as he ran into my bedroom.

"Oh hey Charlie...Bianca and April in bed?" Ruby asked as she walked in, just as Brax closed my bedroom door.

"Nah, Bianca left with Heath and April went to visit Dex" I nodded.

"You look flushed…whats up?" She asked, getting herself a glass of water from the kitchen.

"Oh, I decided to jog home…beautiful night for it" I smiled quickly.

"Yeah it is…well I'm off to bed. See you in the morning, love you" Ruby walked up the hallway and into her room.

"Yeah love you too!" I rushed into my own room as soon as I heard her bedroom door shut.

"Nearly busted" Brax chuckled as I found him sitting on my bed.

"You need to go before anyone else see's you!" I pointed to the door.

"Don't you want to finish what we started?" He smirked, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"No!" I pulled away from him. "Just go!" I sighed.

Brax's point of view

I watched as she paced the room. If she kept thinking we were a huge mistake, why did she keep practically making out with me every chance she could? "Fine!" I snapped before leaving her room and walking out the front door. She really gave me the shits sometimes!

"Bro…what were you doing in there?" a voice scared me as I closed the front door behind me.

"Shit!" I jumped noticing Casey standing there.

"I ah…I was just dropping Charlie home" I nodded as we walked back home together.

"Well her lip gloss on your face proves otherwise" He chuckled. I quickly wiped my face and looked at him.

"Its Hayley's" I tried to convince him.

"Oh I'm sure it is" He chuckled. I quickly pushed him up against my car and glared at him.

"Its Hayley's ok…now this conversation and what you seen tonight, never happened…got it?" I snapped.

"Ok man! Let me go!" he replied. I quickly let go of him and watched as he ran inside the house. Charlie was going to kill me!
