My Future Stepbrother

Chapter 131

I honestly had no idea what we were doing tonight so I followed Chad's instructions to keep it casual, throwing on some black yoga pants and black vest top with my trademark cons.


"Damn girl! Your ass in those is insane!" Brie commented as I walked back into the room looking for my phone.


There was a knock at the door and I heard Chad and Granny start their usual ritual of mildly nauseating weird flirting, which often ended in her calling him some nickname for the devil.


I borrowed Bries leather jacket in case it got cold and made my way downstairs.


"Now you have her back before 11 young mam, I made a promise to her father to keep that girl safe so don't make me get my slipper!"


"Wouldn't dream of disappointing you Mrs G." Chad's eyes finally found me as I arrived at the bottom step, his smile meeting them as they quickly scanned over my body.


"After you." He gestured for me to walk out first but I gave both Granny and May quick kisses before making my way to his car.


"So are you going to tell me where we're going finally?" I ask, pulling at the passenger door handle only to find it still locked. Looking behind me I could see Chad still standing on the path, his eyes glued to firmly to my ass. I wiggled my hips to make it shake a bit and his eyes grew dramatically only for me to burst out laughing and end his hypnotic state. "I'm not sure how many times you have to be told this, but you really need to stop being such a perv."


He pressed the button on his keys, unlocking the door and allowing me to finally get in. "Well I did asked you not to dress sexy, are you trying to kill me in those things? Thank god its on the seat because that thing should come with a distraction warning."


Did this dude honestly think of nothing else?


He cranked up the stereo and before I knew it we were driving out of Westbrooke, wind flowing through my hair and music blaring in my ears. Brie was right, I needed this.


Chad was a man of many talents but as we sang along with the radio I actually came to realise the guy could definitely carry a tune. I could just imagine him; guitar in hand, moonlight bouncing off his high cheekbones as he sang a knee weakening Italian love song. Jesus I'd hate to steal a word from Kallie but I could definitely see why so many girls found him... dreamy. The image alone was enough to bring on a rainstorm down there.


As the car slowed we pulled up outside what looked like a giant warehouse.


"This is where we're going?" I ask, not sure this is exactly what I had in mind, was he planning to kill me and dispose of my body where no-one would hear me scream or something?


He walked around to open my door. "Yep, come on senorita, your castle awaits."


My castle?


He took my hand and we walked around the building until we were greeted by some large neon lights above the entrance.


'ADULT PLAYCENTER'


Okay if this turns out to be some freaky sex club with people chained to the wall I'm going to kill him.


We stepped through the doors I couldn't believe somewhere like this existed. Inside was everything you'd ever find at a kids play centre - climbing frames, ball pits, slides, bouncy houses except it had all been supersized so even my fat ass could fit. It was exactly like every kids party I'd ever been to turned up to eleven.


"I thought you might give me the chance to make up for ruining the last time we were on a bouncy castle together."


Oh. My. God. Best not-a-date ever!
I jumped up onto him excitedly and kissed his cheek before practically ripping my shoes off and running for the nearest slide, I wanted to go on the big one.


He chased me and we ended up playing tag as we ran around every climbing frame. Usually my height gave me a disadvantage over guys like him but here I could quickly whip around the obstacles leaving him in my dust. He hated it and it was amazing.


I jumped on the bouncy house until I felt sick, my hair stuck to my head with sweat but I didn't care, for the first time in a long time I could just run around without a care in the world and pretend to be a kid again.


Chads competitive nature got the better of him after about an hour as he pulled me from the rope frame I was getting away from him on and threw my whole body across into the giant ball pit. I landed amongst the plastic spheres and couldn't stop laughing, my ribs actually hurt.


"That's all I wanted." He comments looking at my smile as I begin to calm down, before throwing himself into the balls in front of me and disappearing.


"Chad?" Where was he?


Suddenly his head popped up directly in front of me, forcing a scream from my lips.


"Bazinga!"


Oh for Christ’s sake...


We sat throwing balls at each other and trying to catch our breath after over an hour of running around like crazy people on day release. He hadn't stopped smirking.


"What's that look for?" I ask, aiming another ball and getting it bounce directly off the top of his head before giggling.


He rubbed the spot where it hit like it actually hurt but we both know it didn't. "I just made a bet with myself I could make you laugh again, I like winning almost as much as I like that sound, so getting both is heaven."


I lay back smiling, using the balls like they're the sea keeping me afloat. He's always had the ability to make me smile when no-one else can, it's one of the things I loved most about him.


He crashes into the balls next to me and joins me in my suspension at the surface, his face next to mine as we look up at the high ceiling of the warehouse through the ropes that hang crisscrossed above us.


"Ally, I wanted to ask you something but before I do I want you to know there's no pressure if you don't want to and I'm only asking you as a friend who wants your company, nothing more."


Oh god, here we go...


I turn to face him and watch him fiddle with the balls at his side, he's nervous. What has Chad Wilson got to be nervous about?


"Okay, pre-warning I've never actually asked a girl to one of these things before, I usually go stud and pick up one of the ones that's crying at the end of the night to take back to the hummer so sorry if I do it wrong."


He turns to face me, taking a deep breath.


"Aleah Davies, will you come to the dance with me?"
