Chapter 41

Brax's Point of view

I walked Charlie into her room before watching her flop on her bed. "You right now?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. She sat up on her knees and looked at me, draping her hands around my neck.

"With you here I'll be fine" She giggled.

"Charlie stop!" I took her hands from around my neck and threw them off me. "You were the one who said we couldn't be together, so stick to your part of the deal" I told her seriously.

"I have no idea what deal you're talking about" She smirked, standing on the bed and taking off her shorts along with her top before falling back onto the bed giggling.

"I'm out Charlie. Hope you had a good night" I left, feeling pretty annoyed. I got that she was drunk, but didn't mean she had to play games with me.

"Wait Braxxy!" She called out, pulling my arm back towards her as I walked into the living room. "I'm sorry" She put on her best puppy dog eyes.

"Charlie I gotta go" I sighed.

"Just stay…please. I want you too" She smiled at me. That smile, those lips, the way her hair hung so flatteringly around her face and those eyes; each of these things were dragging me in, telling me to stay.

"Fine" I gave in before Charlie jumped up on me, wrapping her legs around my waist. I looked into her eyes as I placed my hands on her bare thighs. I took her into her bedroom and placed her gently on the bed before lying down next to her.

"You've seen me drunk way too many times!" She turned and looked at me, dancing her fingers across my clothed chest.

"That is true!" I couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'm sorry I kissed you." She mumbled. I just looked at her as she continued swirling her fingers, now over the tattooed words on my right arm. She suddenly sat up and grabbed the pizza box I had left on the end of her bed. "Man, I am so hungry!" She groaned, opening the box and tucking into the pizza. I couldn't help but laugh back as I looked at the ceiling "Not going to lie…I've missed this" She said with a mouthful off food.

"The pizza or me?" I asked confused.

"The pizza of course, dumby!" She continued eating. "But I've missed you too" She laughed, taking my hand and holding it. I looked down at our hands before looking at her staring at the ceiling.

"Yeah me too" I sighed.

"You've missed you too?" She chuckled.

"Oh aren't you just the comic genius!" I smirked. I liked how she got playful when she'd had a few to drink.

"You'd think this would be some sort of dream of yours. Girl with hardly any clothes on eating pizza in front of you" She joked around.

"This is what dreams are made off" I chuckled, wrapping an arm around her practically bare shoulders and pulling her close to me.

"You better believe it" She sighed, finishing off her pizza and snuggling up to me.

Charlie's Point of View

I could feel the heat of the sunshine on my bare back as I cuddled up closer to the warmth of the body next to me. "Charlie…Charlie" I could hear a whispered along with a hand, on my back, tracing circles. I opened my eyes slowly only to find Brax staring at me. "How you feeling?" He asked with a small smile.

"A lot better than last time and this time I remember most things!" I chuckled, stretching out to wake myself up.

"Well I should go…I have to open up the restaurant" He got off my bed awkwardly and looked down at me.

"Um yeah…thanks for last night and sorry for…everything" I got out of bed and nodded at him. He just nodded back before I followed him out of my bedroom only to be met with Heath and Bianca.

"Well, well well…what do we have here? Caught red handed" Heath chuckled, noticing me still in my underwear.

"Its not what it looks like" I justified myself, before looking at Brax, who was moving out the front door nearly as fast as I was closing my bedroom door.
