Need You Right Now

Chapter 21: i gotta ask you something.

Bethany's POV:

Right now, I am at the park hanging out with Brad, just catching up on some things.

"Soo, how's you family?" He asked.

"Great! Now that you mention it... I'm sure my mom would love to see you again!" I said, smiling.

"Really?! Haha! I would love to see her too."

"My house is only 5 minutes away, so I'm sure we will have time to go and see her."

We got up and walked to my house. We talked about his family, the lynchs and much more.

We finally got to my house. I hope moms happy to see Brad!

"Hey, mom! I brought someone! I'm sure you remember Brad from England, right?" I asked, smiling and pointing at Brad.

"Oh! Bradley! How long has it been?! We've missed you! How are you? How's your family?" Mom replied, hugging Brad.

"Everyone's great! Thanks for asking." He said, hugging her back.

"Glad to hear that! Do you guys want anything to drink?" My mom said.

"Waters good." I tell her.

She goes back into the kitchen and me and Brad go sit on the couch.

"How long can you stay till?" I asked.

"Uhhh I think I have 45 minutes." He replied, checking the time on his phone.

We sat there awkwardly until my mom came in and brought us some water.

"Here you go! Call me if ever you need something." She said.

"Thanks!" Me and Brad replied in unison.

"Sooo... This is your house?" Brad asked me, looking around the room.

"Oh, uh yeah!" I said.

I forgot he's never seen my house.

"It's nice!" He replied, drinking some water.

We just sat there... Doing nothing... Not saying anything... Why was it suddenly so awkward?

"Bethany, can I ask you something?" He said.

"Sure! Go ahea-" I started but got interrupted by my mom.

"Beth! Come here, please!" She yelled from the kitchen.

"I'll be back." I told Brad.

I entered the kitchen and said:

"Yes, mom?"

"Is Brad staying for supper?" She asked.

"Oh, um no. He's leaving in half an hour."

"Alright, thanks!"

I left the kitchen and headed back to the living room.

"So, what were you saying? What did you wanna ask me?" I said, sitting down on the couch.

"Um, well, I was-"

His phone started ringing.

"I gotta take this... Sorry." He told me, and got up to leave the room.

After a couple minutes later, he came back into the room.

"Sorry, about that." He said.

"Oh, it's fine! So, you were saying...?" I replied, smiling.

"Um... I was wondering..." He started, then took a deep breath.

"Will you go out with me?"
