BRAX'S POV:
"What the hell was all that in aid of, Heath?" I questioned as the bag was removed from my head
"Element of surprise" he informed me "ready for your bucks night, bro?"
"Yeah, but if you try any more stunts like that, I'll punch you, got it?" I asked
He nodded his head, signalling yes and held his hands up in defence…
RICKY'S POV:
"More champagne, Mrs-Soon-To-Be-Braxton?" Bianca questioned as I had a manicure
"I think we should take it away from you" I admitted
"No, I'm fine" she proclaimed as she topped my glass up "you having fun?"
I nodded my head, signalling yes... "Missing Brax and Jake though"
"Awe" came a chorus from the other girls
I smiled at them warmly and turned back to Bianca…. "Thank you for this"
"You're really enjoying it?" she questioned
"Yeah, you're the best friend a girl could ask for" I informed her "come here"
Moving towards me, she bent down to my chair and hugged me tightly, me doing the same as best I could with one hand…
BRAX'S POV:
"I've got to say, this, isn't half as bad as I thought it'd be" I admitted as Heath handed me another beer
"I can do tame when I want to, and when I need to risk being punched" he informed me
"We can still have fun though" I replied "just not wild fun"
"Got it" he assured me, holding up his beer bottle. Clinking it against mine, we went back to fishing
RICKY'S POV:
"What're you doing, Erica Sharpe?" Bianca asked as I walked out into the hotel room from the en-suite
"Trying to ring Brax" I informed her "but he's not answering his phone"
"That's because they're in the middle of nowhere" she replied
"What?" I questioned
"Heath, Casey, Kyle, Brax and Jake have gone fishing and camping for his bucks night" she explained
"That's a bit too tame for Heath" I chuckled
"Well I don't think he wants to risk being throttled, by you, by me or by Brax" she admitted
"So they're okay?" I asked
"Yeah, they're okay" she assured me "now stop worrying and let's get you sorted for our night on the tiles"
BRAX'S POV:
"What's with you, you goose?" Heath questioned as I checked my phone
"Trying to get in touch with Ricky so Jake can say night to her before I put him to bed" I informed him
"They're in the city, we're in the middle of nowhere. You really think you're gonna get a signal?" he asked
I sighed heavily… "If Ricky's away, I always make sure Jake rings to say goodnight"
"Sorry, mate, but not tonight" he informed me, patting my shoulder before walking away
I sighed and ran my hands over my face, shoving my phone into my pocket… "Jake, time for bed"
"But I've not spoken to Mummy yet" he proclaimed
"My phone doesn't have a signal, so you're not going to be able to" I admitted
"Will I see her tomorrow?" he questioned
"Yeah, we're heading home early morning" I informed him "and she'll be there before us so she'll meet us when we pull up the drive"
He smiled at me warmly as we made our way to the tent and he climbed into his sleeping bag…
"Do you want your nightlight?" I asked
"Please" he replied "night, Daddy Brax"
"Night, bud" I mirrored, kissing his forehead before zipping up the tent again
RICKY'S POV:
"Well I never thought tonight would end up like this" I admitted
"The guy was getting too hands on" Bianca proclaimed
"You didn't have to punch him" I sighed
"What can I say? Heath rubs off on me…" she admitted
I sighed heavily and ran my hands through my hair, walking to the front of the cell… "Excuse me, can I get a phone call please?"
"What? Who to?" she inquired
"Home" I informed her "leave a message on the answering machine to tell Brax where we are. I doubt we'll be out by the time the boys arrive home tomorrow"
"I'm sorry, Ricky" she sighed
I smiled at her warmly as the cell door was unlocked…
So, turns out the girls had a bit of a wild night…
