My Brothers Best Friend

The Beginning of Something?

I don't know how to feel right now. I never thought he would have the same feelings as I do. There are things to consider my brother being the main one. So I simply text back that I would love to meet up and talk about things. I put down my phone and think about how things have turned out. Now I just need to figure out what to tell Andrew. I cant let this chance with Brantley pass me by it been my hope for a long time now that he would feel the same way as I do. I guess I should text Andrew and let him know that I wont be meeting him for coffee. I pick up my phone and see that I have a missed text message from Andrew "Hey Angel I am sorry but I cant meet you for coffee. I have to do something for work, but would you like to make it dinner instead?" he had asked. Oh no this is going to get messy if I don't nip it in the butt now. "Hey Andrew I am really sorry but I am not going to be able to have dinner or coffee with you my friend kinda pushed me into saying yes and my heart already belongs to someone." I reply. I put my phone on the nightstand and go to bed quickly falling asleep dreaming of Brantley.

I woke up the next morning feeling excited and refreshed. I quickly got my thing ready to take a shower and et ready for the day. I got out of the shower and got dressed in some jeans and a crop top. I decided to call my mom and check on her. I opened my phone and saw a message from Andrew. "ok B**** we will see how this goes. You better watch your back!" I looked at my phone is shock. Well this couldn't be good. I go out into the living room where Josh and Sarah are already awake. Josh sees my face and asks me what is wrong. Well shit how do I explain this to him. "I just started having second thoughts about Andrew, he gave me a funny feeling. So I texted him last night and told him that it wasn't going to work and made up a lie saying I had feelings for someone else and he sent me this text this morning saying that we would see how it went and to watch my back." I explained. Josh got furious and was pacing around the living room. Sarah was angry chopping food to cook for breakfast cussing. "What the hell is wrong with this prick thinking he is going to threaten my sister." Josh growled out. "that dude is out his mind if he thinks we will let this slide." Sarah said joining in with my brother. " Yeah im gonna make a call sis ill be right back." josh stated and asked Sarah if he could use her room to make the call. She told him of course and he walked into her bedroom. I finally had calmed down enough and broke down into tears. "why is this happening to me just when thigs got so good." I cry Sarah looked at me a little confused so I showed her the text between Brantley and I. I didn't want to say It out loud in case Josh walked out. I didn't want to go down that road just yet.

"OH MY GOD girl that is great news. I hope Josh didn't go call Brantley, if so this isn't going to turn out very well." she stated. I got a look of horror oh god what if he does that could ruin everything. Me and her wait patiently while he makes his call. He soon returns and had a look of pure hatred on his face. "This fucker don't know what he is messing with. Just got off the phone with BG and he is coming back early and we are going to handle this fucker. You don't threaten our girls." he stated proudly. I felt like I was going to faint, my brother noticed and suggested I go lay down for a bit. IKI gave Sarah a look and she just nodded understanding what I was saying. I agree to go lay down just to get and excuse to text Brantley. I go into my room and pick up my phone there is a text on it from Brantley. "hey umm was that text last night meant for me?" he asked. Oh no how do I explain this to him. "hey yes and no its hard to explain over text. when you get back if you want we can meet up and talk. I reply. It seems like it takes him forever to respond but in reality was probably only a couple minutes. "Yeah that sounds like something we really need to do, Ill be back in town in 2 hours meet me at my place. Wee really need to get this straightened out, I really do want to pursue this but only if you do too, if not we can forget this ever happened, but I will see you in a couple hours." I sat down and just cried now he thinks I didn't mean it, but I did. I will have to show him and make him see how I feel about him. I get ready to go and sit a wait for his text saying that he is home.

A couple hours later I got the text that he was home. So I grab my purse and head out. It takes me about 10 minutes to get to his house. When I pull up he is waiting on his porch. I get out of the car and walk up to his porch, nervous isn't the word for what I am feeling. "Hey BG" I greet. "Hey darlin, lets go inside." he greeted in return. We walk into his house and go into the den. "Now sweetheart I have to know if you meant what you sent me before we go any further? Or was that text meant for someone else?" He asked "It was meant for Andrew, but I was wishing it was you. I have liked you for a long time B. I never thought you would be interested in me." I said I could feel myself about to cry. "Hey sweetheart don't cry. I feel the same, and I want to see where this goes. I just want to make sure we are on the same page." he said as he sat down next to me on the couch. "We are defiantly on the same page B. What about my brother?" I ask "Well he knows how I am and he will either get use to it or not it is our life sweetheart." he said as I blushed at the pet name. We talked for a bit more and the decided to go to my apartment where Josh and Sarah were so we could discuss the whole Andrew situation. I smiled to myself cause I knew in my heart that Brantley and me were meant to be.
