LaylaK Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Chapter 4 As she lay there in her bed she finally felt like she could relax, like she could breathe again. The hospital had only reignited bad memories from the past, ones she thought were finally gone. Everytime she closed her eyes the nightmares began, forcing her to keep her eyes wide awake. However these nightmares were different there was someone else in them now someone coming to stop it from happening. It was him. He'd rescued her the other night and now in her head he was saving her. For the first time since the accident she smiled to herself drifting of to sleep, using the memory of the warmth and the secureness of his embrace that night to protect her from her own mind. She was woken by the smell of Leahs cooking, as she got up she looked at her leg deciding to remove the bandaging. It scared her at the thought of what may be underneath. As she took the first, she agreed with Sid it wasn't as bad as she first thought and it seemed to be healing well. She put on a red singlet top and a pair of black trackies to hide her legs. As she walked into the kitchen she found Leah, Ruby and young male about Ruby's age. "How are you feeling?" Leah asked "Im alright still a bit sore, but better" She put on a reassuring smile. "This is Casey, Casey Charlie" Ruby said as she placed her arm around Casey. "Nice to meet you, Im Casey Braxton" He studied Braxs new obsession "You too, Braxs brother?" She studied him noticing a small resemblence "Thats the one" He smiled, he seemed genuine enough she thought to herself " Are you staying for dinner?" she asked, trying to hide the curiousity in her voice. "If thats okay with you?" He replied, trying to sound like Ruby had given him a choice "Your welcome to and please thank your brother once again" "His heads already big enough and if i thank him anymore it'll explode" He joke, Charlie deciphered the look on his face as if he were actually picturing his brothers head exploding. She laughed to herself. "Im going home and ill be back for dinner. Nice to meet you Charlie." He kissed Ruby goodbye and left. Charlie went and sat on the lounge, Ruby eagerly followed. " Soo what do you think?" She wanted Charlies approval. "He seems really nice Rubes, im happy for you" Knowing thats exactly what ruby wanted to hear. Ruby hugged her mum, things were finally going right for her. They sat there watching t.v as Ruby explained how she met Casey. She chose to not be completely honest with her mum, if Charlie found out what Caseys family were really about there would be complications so she thought best not to go into detail. She really didn't want Charlie to return to work she knew then everything would change. As Leah was setting the table, Charlie and Ruby heard a knock at the door. "Is there room for one more?" They heard Casey asking Leah. Ruby stood up excited to see who their extra guest was. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As he got out of the shower relaxed after a long surf, he heard Casey walk through door. "Hey Brax" "Whats up Case? Where you been?" His little brother always seemed to be in a good mood lately, Brax always checking he hadn't been up to no good. "Nothing. Just been at Rubys, i met Charlie she seems to be doing well. Im going there for dinner tonight you know you wanna come?" He smiled cheekily "Err i dont know eh bit last minute" He tried to play it cool, it normally worked. "We re leaving in 20, make sure your ready" Casey laughed as he walked into his room. "****" As he realised what he was about to do, the nerves started to set in. They arrived at the Buckton household at around 6.30, Brax was annoyed at how calm Casey was. "You look like you need a bucket" Casey teased "eh just feeling a little sick" Brax tried to cover his nerves up " Yeh im sure thats it" Casey laughed before receiving a punch in the arm from Brax. As Brax hid behind Casey, he listened to him knock at the door and ask Leah if it was okay for one more. "Ofcourse come in boys" Ruby welcomed them in giving Casey a kiss "Good to see you again Brax, Charlies in the lounge room" She hugged him smiling, clearly Casey had informed her of his odd behaviour whenever Charlie was mentioned. "Er thanks" he hesitated before leaving the room. As he walked into the louge room he took a deep breathe and forced out a "Hey Charlie" Her head immediately turned "B Brax" she went red as she spoke his name. He smiled and sat down next to her. " How are you feeling?" He studied her, even in trackies and hair all over the place she was still beautiful. " Im better, over being house bound though. Thank you for everything, i could never repay you enough" She stared back at him. All he could do was smile, how could she not know that being in her prescence was enough for him, even just having the time of day to talk to him, it was enough; more than enough. "Its okay im just glad your safe, I came to visit you in the hospital but you were still out " he admitted worried about what she say. It had taken him all day to convince himself to go and check on her. She smiled " The doctor told me, it was nice of you to visit" She said easing his uncertainty. She laughed. His nerves left him and he had never been more at ease. The things she did to him. As they continued to chat waiting for dinner he finally found the right time to get the question that had been bugging him ever since he had met her, "So is there um a Mr Charlie Buckton around" He tried making it out like it was a joke, he could see her cheeks go red " Ah no there isnt at the moment" He smiled, he couldnt help himself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charlie was woken that morning by the noise of her phone, she checked her alarm clock to see it was already 11.00am suprised at how long she had slept she grabbed her phone and opened the message. Hope i didnt keep you up to late last night. Would be nice to see you again soon if your keen? B x She let out a schoolgirl laugh, hoping no one had heard her she calmed herself down and wrote back Not at all. That would be nice, i don't go back to work until Friday so whenever you free. X Hopefully i dont sound too keen she thought to herself putting her phone down. She laid back in her bed and smiled as she thought back to last night. After Dinner they had sat there and spoke for hours. It had started with all five of them until slowly Casey and Ruby had left to see some friends then Leah noticing the chemistry and that she had become the third wheel made her excuses and went to bed. They sat there and spoke about life, her, Braxtons, her work, Ruby and Casey and Heath. He never really spoke about himself which almost annoyed Charlie, she wanted to know more. By midnight she was struggling to stay awake, he had asked for her number just incase they needed to talk about Ruby and Casey, they'd convinced themselves. Her thoughts were interrupted by the noise of her phone again. Tonight? My Work? x She smiled Sounds perfect X Almost instantly her phone went of again Can't wait She laughed and left it at that. She got out of bed and looked in the mirror at her leg it wasalmost healed now. It was time to get her life on track and Brax seemed like a good place to start. [Later that afternoon] She stood in the middle of her room, surrounded by her wardrobe that had some how in the process of deciding what to wear made its way from the cupboard onto her floor. She had finally settled on a blue strapless dress and black heels. She had spent all afternoon deciding, she did not want to look to over dressed or to underdressed or to sexy or not sexy enough it drove her mad as to how much effort she was going to just to impress this guy. She had never been like this with anyone else. Normally with Charlie what you see is what you get. As she walked up to the restaurant she noticed the sign saying that they were closed for the night she thought that was odd however she continued on up the stairs. Charlie entered the restaurant and came to a complete stop, she gasped as she took in what she was seeing. He had cleared all table and chairs bar one in the middle of the room. There 2 candles and a rose sitting in the middle of the table. The room had scattered candles everywhere, "Wow" She whispered to herself. "I hope its not to much" She heard as he walked behind her, she could feel his warmth even though he wasnt touching her, it made her spine tingle. " I just figured your last visit here wasnt the best so i thought we could start fresh" He cheekily smiled grabbing her hand and leading her to the table. He looked as handsome as always, she was so attracted to him she couldnt help but be so vulnerable around him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He walked into the room and stared at her in disbelief as she stood there taking in his masterwork. He thought she couldnt get more beautiful but once again she had proven him wrong. She had not noticed his presence yet as he walked up behind her "I hope its not to much" he spoke softly noticing the hairs on her spine go up as he spoke, he smiled to himself as he took her hand and led her to the table After dinner she sat there stairing at him "What?" he asked laughing. "Nothing, your just so um mysterious" She smiled trying to her embaressment. "And your not?" he laughed again hoping the conversation would end there. She was to smart not to notice the absence of conversation about himself. He wanted to tell her, he wanted her to know who he really was but he just hadnt found the courage to do it. Not yet anyway. He knew that when she would return to work the day after the next she would find out the truth for herself. He did not want to ruin this perfect evening by revealing his true identity he had changed for the better since he met her but would it really be enough? He shook the feeling from his mind, tonight it was just him and her, he'd been waiting for her to show up in his life for so many years. As the two of them were leaving Brax couldnt help but stare at this beauty infront of him walking down the stairs, she was so intruiging, so perfect he thought to himself. Without thinking he grabbed her arm and spun her around, staring deep into her blue eyes he hesistated then thought to himself you cant turn back now. He placed his hand on her face, her skin, soft, as he slowly moved a strand of hair from her face. Leaning slowly in his lips brushing hers, it made his stomach go crazy. He brushed them again waiting for her reaction. To his relief she place her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Emotion raced through him, his body, it was not used to this. Losing control of any common sense that remained in him, he lifted her up against the wall and wrapped her legs around his waist kissing her more passionately. He wanted her, he'd never wanted anything else more in his life. As she pulled back reality switched in and his heart sank realising what he had just done, had he scared her of? As if she noticed the look on his face she smiled reasuringly then whispered in his ear "Where to next?" Relieved he placed her back down on the ground where she would be safe from the instability of his shaking legs he grabbed her hand and led her to his car trying to calm his racing heart along the way. When they entered his apartment the nerves kicked in, the wine they drank at dinner had eased them for a while but had now warn off. He watched her as she walked in and studied the room, wishing she would say something he wanted to know everything that she was thinking however as he was now starting to learn she did not give anything away. This left him undecided as to which move to make next however luckily for him she made it for him. Charlie grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her she began to kiss him then teasingly pulled away and lead him over to the side of the room where the bed lay. He sat as she stood over him passionately kissing him, embraced in each other arms he began to fumble around with her zipper, finally succeeding he then pulled it down her back as he did so she stood up allowing her dress to fall to the ground, he gasped at the sight of her body once again she had proved him wrong she was more then beautiful. She was perfect in every single way. It was with this sight of her that he then allowed every single male hormone to take over as her pulled on top of him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She sat there at dinner feeling like it was a dream, everything is perfect she thought to herself. She smiled at the man that sat across from her he was gorgeous in every way. Had she really found the one person she wanted be with forever, it was to good to be true, she laughed at herself. How silly of her hes probably just like this with everyone she thought. As they chatted away he finally asked the question she'd been dreading. " So does Ruby still see her dad?" Her stomach dropped at the thought. Quickly she thought of a believeable excuse. " Um we both choose not to have contact" she replied hoping he would buy it,luckily he noticed the tone in her voice and left it at that. She wanted to tell him, she didnt like keeping secrets however it was not the time and Charlie was not ready to risk scaring him away yet. Relieved that he had dropped the subject she looked at this man infront of her, he was caring, goodlooking, loved his family, treated her like a princess and did she mention goodlooking. Although he was so mysterious, he very rarely talked about himself or his past. Charlie was unsure whether to be alarmed or see it as him just being polite. She decided to push the thought to back of her mind, besides it was only there first date. A little tipsy from the amount of wine they drank the both of them got up to leave, she watched him he was so sexy, teasingly she strutted out the room. She felt him grab her from behind on the stairs it made her think of last time she was there however this time this grasp was warm and welcoming she turned to find him staring into her eyes as he grabbed her face again his touch making the hairs on her spine go up she could tell he was nervous. He leaned in and brushed her lips as if waiting for her approval she had to remind herself to breath as he did it again she leaned in and kissed him, then pulling away, she had to think. Charlie knew what this was leading to, she barely even knew him then she looked at him once more. All well stuff it she thought. She woke in his arms, having to think and remind herself of what had happened last night. It was her last day of before work and she couldnt think of anything better to do than spend it with him. She rolled over and placed her head on his chest listening to his heart beat. "Goodmorning princess" He smiled at her. She kissed him, again her heartrate increasing. It was then she decided that this was the man for her. "Hungry?" She nodded looking at the time 11.00am. He got up and went to the kitchen as she put on his shirt and entered the bathroom. She saw the state of herself and laughed, well obviously he doesn't scare easily she thought. She turned on the shower then heard a knock at the door. "Where was my invite?" She couldnt help but laugh as he opened the door and invited himself in. By the time Charlie made it home it was 8.00 p.m. She knew she had work the next day but she just couldnt drag herself away from Darryl Braxton it made her giddy at the thought of his name. But he had to go to work and help Heath which he didnt seem so happy about, he reluctanctly dropped her home and let her know that she would be hearing from him soon. They had spent all day night in and out of bed, talking, laughing and making love. She rushed to get her uniform ironed and ready before finally retiring to bed. She thought about this man that made her so vulnerable he seemed to good to be true as she drifted of to sleep. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brax finally made it into bed at about 2.30 am he was exhausted. Heath had stuffed up as usual and Brax had to go pick up the pieces, it was the last crop they had growing and it was now gone. Heath had questioned where he'd been for the last two nights, 'just working out money issues' he had lied. Then he thought about Charlie and what he had said to her. It was the first lie he had told her but he knew it wouldnt be the last.
