Chapter 13

Charlie felt her back collide with the wall, the feeling of Brax's body pressed up against her own removing any hint of pain. His hand ran up the length of her body, ending up tangled in her hair as he pulled her even closer to him. She couldn't help the moan which escaped her as his tongue traced her bottom lip before he deepened the kiss. He moved his left hand to hold her waist, his fingers lightly grazing the skin underneath her vest top. If it hadn't had been for his body holding her up against the wall, Charlie was certain that the weakness in her knees would have taken over.

Hungry. Passionate. Needed. Weeks of flirting, undiscovered feelings, innocent touches had led to this moment. As their mouths explored each other, Charlie's hands settled on his chest, feeling his heart pounding underneath his shirt. Realising the effect that she was having on him, she couldn't help but smile into the kiss.

Breathless, Brax eventually pulled back, his forehead resting against hers. "I have been waiting to do that since I first met you." He whispered as he leant in again and kissed the tip of her nose.

Charlie smiled as she moved towards him, closing the gap with another kiss. Delicate, yet able to say more than any of her words could.

As they broke away again, Brax's hands fell to her waist holding her loosely. Charlie's hands were looped around his neck, her fingers gently playing with the hairs on the back of his neck.

"I'm so sorry for how I've been reacting. If I hadn't had been so stubborn, we wouldn't have missed the last three weeks." The sincerity in his voice was matched by the look in his eyes.

Charlie sighed. She knew that the past three weeks had been an absolute nightmare for her, a feeling which was so different to how she felt now standing in his arms.

"It's ok. None of that matters now. Not anymore."

His lips slowly curled into a smile as he pulled her into his chest, hugging her tightly. Her head rested on his chest as she breathed in the smell of his aftershave. The fragrance forever embedding itself in her memory. This was definitely one of the memories that she never wanted to forget.

Kissing the top of her head, Brax smiled. "I meant what I said to you that night on the beach..." He whispered. He didn't want to freak her out by admitting too much too soon, but technically he had already professed his feelings for her. He needed to make sure that she knew the truth.

Charlie smiled into his chest before moving back to meet his gaze. "I know you do." Despite feeling it, she wasn't quite ready to come out and say it. Her relationship with Angelo had been rushed; she wasn't ready to make the same mistake again.

"I just want you to know that whatever this is, or whatever this becomes...I'm in."

Charlie brought their lips together, this kiss filled with more passion and thirst than the last.

"I'm in. But I want us to do this right. You're it for me. I don't want to mess this up."

"We won't."

They stood in silence for a moment, grinning stupidly at each other. Neither had imagined their evenings turning out this way. Charlie had gone from heartbroken to ecstatic in the space of ten minutes. Despite pushing any negative thoughts that she may have had that day out of her mind, a face soon came back to her. Tegan.

Brax noticed the change on her face and frowned sllightly. "Are you ok?"

Stepping out of his embrace for the first time since he had arrived, Charlie moved towards the table in the kitchen, leaning back against it with her arms folded across her chest.

"I think we're both forgetting someone here..." She started, hating that she was even having to say these words. In an ideal world, Tegan would never had been anywhere near Brax. Her Brax. The latter thought brought a momentarily smile to her face, but she knew that this was something they unfortunately had to discuss.

Brax's face fell as he realised what she was talking about. It was his own fault for not knowing that Charlie was single sooner. He also knew that in not knowing, he shouldn't be feeling guilty for being with someone else. That, however, didn't stop the gut wrenching feeling that had now settled in his stomach. What he wouldn't give to turn back the time.

"She'll leave."

A flash of jealousy appeared on Charlie's face as he spoke about the blonde. Knowing that he was responsible for her feeling this way upset him.

"Is it just that simple?" Please say yes...

Brax stepped towards her, unfolding her arms so that he could take her hands in his own. He knew he had to be honest with her, if this was going to work honesty would have to become their new best friend.

He gave her hand a small squeeze before continuing. "You have to understand this thing with Tegan. We go way back. We've always been there for each other...you know when..." He trailed off watching as Charlie glanced away as she understood what he was talking about. He didn't want to have to tell her this, but it was something she needed to understand. "She knows that we're not together, so she will just leave. There is nothing keeping her here."

Charlie hated hearing him talking about another woman. Jealousy had never affected her much in the past, but with Brax it was different. She wanted him, all of him and only her.

Brax let go of her hand, placing his hand under her chin to turn her face towards him. Their eyes locked and he smiled.

"I don't need Tegan in my life anymore. Me and you...this is it for me." He told her, hoping that she would understand how he felt. The smile which eventually crept onto her face told him that she did. "I'll take care of it. Me and you are all that matter." He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him. She melted into his arms, never wanting to let go.

----

Brax couldn't hide his smile as he made his way home from Charlie's. He finally had the woman of his dreams and he couldn't have been happier. He dreaded facing Tegan, she was fiery at the best of times. He knew that the quicker he got rid of the problem, the quicker him and Charlie could fully be the couple he had longed for them to be.

He tried to remove his smile as he entered the house. Heath looked up from the couch, a knowing smile on his face. Glancing around the living room, Brax saw that the coast was clear. At least for now.

Grabbing a beer out of the fridge, he took a seat beside his brother.

"So?" Heath questioned. Brax just looked at him and Heath smiled. "It's about bloody time!"

Brax's smile returned once again. Taking a long sip of the beer, he knew he couldn't put the inevitable off for much longer. "Where is she?"

"Bedroom. She came out earlier looking for you. I told her something had happened at Angelo's and you'd be back soon. If she takes another one of my beers, I'm going to throw her out myself." Heath warned, finishing off the remainder of his drink and placing it beside two empty ones on the coffee table.

Walking into his bedroom, Brax closed the door quietly behind him. Tegan, who was laying on the bed flicking through a magazine, glanced up at him and smiled.

"I've been waiting for you to come back." She sat up on the bed, tapping the space beside her for him to sit.

He declined the invitation and remained by the door. "We need to talk."

Tegan sensed the change in his attitude. Time to grovel. "Look I'm sorry for not staying away from her. I promise I won't do it again." She smiled at him, but his face remained straight. "Why don't you come here and I'll show you just how sorry I am..." She purred at him, her smile suddenly fading as he refused to move away from the doorway. "What's the matter?"

"You need to leave."

"Leave? Leave where?" The surprise was evident in her voice. This was the last way she thought this conversation would go.

"Summer Bay. First thing tomorrow, you need to go back home." He told her, turning to make his way out of the room. She stopped him before he could get there.

"Brax, babe, I get that you are annoyed at me but I've apologised. You don't have to do this, I get that I screwed up. I do." She reached out to touch his arm, trying to turn him to face her but he moved out of her reach.

"Tegan, we both knew what this is. What this was. But it ends now. You need to leave." He knew he was being harsh, and if it had been anyone else he wouldn't have spoken to them in this way. Tegan wasn't like everyone else. You had to be abrupt with her or you'd get no where.

She was quiet for a moment as it dawned on her. She couldn't believe she'd missed it. Rushing out late at night; coming home with a change of heart. She should have noticed it sooner.

"Buckton got to you, didn't she?" She spat, glaring harshly at him. When he didn't answer her, she continued. "So what? She showed you a little attention and now you think you can just forget about everyone else? I was there for you Darryl, and this is how you repay me?"

We both knew what this was when it started. Don't try and fool yourself that this was something more..."

Tegan turned her back to him as she started throwing her things into a bag. He watched as she moved around the room, feeling a small sense of relief wash over him.

"You can sleep in here tonight, I'll take the couch." He opened the bedroom door but her voice stopped him in the doorway.

"You'll come back to me, Brax. You always do." She promised him but he shook his head as he turned to her.

"Not this time." He couldn't contain his smile as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Bianca took a sip of her drink, staring excitedly at her best friend. Charlie's excited early morning phone call to her best friend had resulted in the two of them meeting for breakfast. Her excitement had been contagious, and Bianca now couldn't keep the smile from her own face.

"So then what happened?"

Charlie put down her coffee cup as she thought back to the previous night's events. "And then he kissed me." She gushed, feeling her cheeks glowing slightly. Bianca squealed as her hand came up to cover her mouth. Charlie grinned back at her.

"And?"

"I didn't realise it was even possible to be kissed like that. It was just perfect..." Charlie realised that she was swooning, but part of her didn't care. She was happy and wanted the world to know it.

"It's about time. I am so happy for you." Bianca reached across the table and gave Charlie's hand a squeeze.

"Thanks. I'm happy for me too!" Charlie joked as she took a sip of her coffee.

"You just couldn't keep your hands to yourself, could you?" The voice from behind her caused Charlie to jump. The tone was harsh to say the least.

Bianca glanced up from her coffee, glaring at the blonde woman who had just joined them. "I'm sorry, but who the hell are you?" She snapped back, jumping to her friend's defense.

Charlie rolled her eyes as she looked up at Tegan. "Bianca, this is Tegan. Brax's ex."

"Oh. Sucks to be you today." Bianca snorted, earning a laugh from Charlie.

Tegan turned her attention to Bianca, a snarl holding onto her lips. "I'm sorry...was I talking to you?"

"Well you were yelling at my friend, so yeah, I guess you were talking to me." Bianca replied sarcastically. Charlie mouthed 'thank you' at her before turning to Tegan.

"Brax has made his choice."

"For now. He'll come back to me, he always does." She gave Charlie one final glare before storming out of the Diner.

Charlie turned back to Bianca and the two of them burst into laughter, part from nerves, part from anger.

"So that was..."

"Yeah." Charlie nodded, returning her attention to his coffee.

Charlie sighed a breath of relief. Tegan was gone. Her and Brax were together. Nothing else even mattered.
