Four days later Watson was on duty by herself. For once Charlie had taken a day off but it was Murphy 's Law that it had been one of the busiest days in a while. Answering a call about a disturbance she pulled into the car park of the surf club. Seeing the River boys she sighed under breath. Just the thing she needed to top off a day like this. As soon as she left the car and walked towards them the boys turned around to watch her. When she was close enough one of them spoke up. "Constable Watson! Long time no see."

"Hi Mickey. What's going on here?" she asked not missing a beat. One thing that she had learnt in her time on the force was never to show any weakness especially around gangs like the River Boys. They thrived on the attention not that they need any more encouragement.

"Nothing Officer. Just a few friends going for a surf after a long night of welcoming a friend back" he replied. His words were lost on Watson as Heath walked out of the surf club. He was topless covered only by his board shorts. She couldn't decide if she wanted to hit him or kiss him but she knew she couldn't do either. "Look boys we have had a complaint about your group hanging around the area."
"Don't worry Officer we were just going for a surf" jumped in Heath. It might only be Georgina but he didn't want to cause problems after only being released the day before. Looking at the boys he signaled for them to go down to the water. A few of them made comments but all of them followed his orders.

Knowing that he wanted to talk alone Watson spoke quickly. "Look like I said we had a complaint so if you could keep your boys away from the surf club please. Oh and it might pay to put some clothes on as well." Turning to walk away she was stopped by Heath grabbing her arm. "Georgie…" he started.

"Let go off my arm Mr Braxton" her words were calm and controlled but her mind was racing. Dropping her arm his eyes locked with hers. "And take my advice about your boys. I don't want to be called out here again today." Turning she fled as fast as she could back to the car.

Walking into her house Watson groaned when she saw Heath asleep on her couch. Walking closer she couldn't help but notice how peaceful he looked. It was almost a shame to wake him up but that wasn't going to stop her. "Get up" she shook the couch with her leg. "You know most people would ring the cops if they found convict on their couch."
"You aren't most people" he replied barely opening his eyes. He had been lying on her couch dozing on and off for over two hours waiting for her to get home. "Plus you are the cops."
"Whatever. How did you even get in here?" she questioned walking past him. Acting fast Heath reached out putting her onto the couch. His arms still around her he leant up to kiss her before pausing to add "you gave me a key, remember?"

Pushing him back into the couch she got up before their lips connected. "If I remember right you took the key and never gave it back." Moving towards the hallway she knew she had to get away from. It felt too nice to be in his arms and being close to him after so long was breaking her down but she was still pissed off at him. He had promised to spend his first night out with her instead he had been drinking with his boy. "It's been a long day and I'm going to have a shower. You better not be on my couch when I get out."

Getting out of the shower Watson dried off before wrapping the towel around herself. It had been a very long shift that was just topped off by seeing Heath with the River boy. She didn't know what they were to each other but at the least she thought he would have told her she was out. All she wanted to do was going to bed and get as much sleep as she could before her morning shift. Walking back into her bedroom she jump when she saw Heath on the bed. "I thought I told you to leave."

"No you told me I better not be on your couch so I got off it" he shot back with a grin putting his hands behind his head. As annoyed as she was at him right now she always found his cockiness sexy.

"Do I have to spell it out for you? You need to go home" opening her draw she pulled out her underwear and an oversized t-shirt. Feeling Heaths eyes on her she carefully slipped on her underwear making sure her towel covered her. "I have had a really long day and I just wanted to go to bed."

Lowering his hands his face soften. "Georgie are you pissed off at me?" Turning her back to him she dropped her towel at the same time as she pulled on her t-shirt. Letting out a low whistle Heath got off the bed walking over to her. "You know that isn't the way to get me to leave." Side stepping him she moved to the other side of room. "You can't just touch me and make everything go away."

"So you are pissed off." Sighing he sat down on bed. "Yes genius I'm annoyed at you." Reaching out Heath's hand found hers holding tight. "Baby you know I wanted to spend last night with you. The boys picked me up and took me straight to a party in Mangrove River. Not even Brax was there."

Dropping his hand she sat down on bed next to him being careful not to touch him. "And you couldn't text me? I didn't even know you were out." Heath just wanted to pull her in close and hold her tight. She was hurting and he could see it. If he was honest he would tell her she was all he could think about the night before but he couldn't find his words. "My phone was at my place."

"You told me you wanted to spend your first night out with me. Was it all just talk?" looking down at the ground she hated herself right now. She wasn't a needy person yet here she was about to fall apart in front of Heath. "You have no idea how much I wanted to be with you Georgie" he ran his fingertips down her arm. "Actions speak louder than words Heath. Always saying the right thing isn't going to work. You can't show up here and think that everything is going be ok."

Moving over until they were touch his lips found her neck. "I know" he whispered placing kisses on her neck. "Heath….." Georgina moved up the bed putting an end to it. "That isn't going to happen. I'm going to bed."

Standing up Heath removed his top and jeans before getting into bed. "You aren't going to get rid of me that easy. Good night baby." Watson didn't say a word instead lying down and pulling the covers up around her shoulders. She might not be happy with him right now but she was glad that he was staying. After his nap on her couch Heath wasn't tired at all but right now he would do anything to be close to her.
