Something Better

Burning With Desire

Brandon was checking his phone every two minutes as he sat at his keyboard in the studio.

"I'm gonna take that thing off you!" Dave said with a bit of a growl, "She said she would call when they were on their way, just relax."

"I know, I just can't wait to see her," Brandon chuckled at how grumpy Dave was.

"How long has it been?" Dave asked, "24 hours since you last kissed her?" Dave continued in a fake lovey dovey voice.

"Almost 72!" Brandon whined, as his phone began to buzz.

"Hey!" Brandon said happily as he connected to Martha. She was on her way over to the studio with Lauren who was over in Vegas for a pre wedding night out.

"You're here?" Brandon said excitedly as he stood up and made his way out of the studio and up to the front entrance, still holding his phone to his ear. He opened the doorway to see a gleaming black Limo pull up in the parking lot.

The doors opened and a group of four excited people poured out chatting and laughing. Brandon felt his breath leave his body when he spotted Martha tottering towards him on high heels, wearing a short black sparkly dress. Her hair was hanging down poker straight.

"Hi!" She said throwing her bare arms around his neck.

"Hi yourself,"Brandon smiled as he fitted his hands round her small waist, lifting her up a little as he kissed her. He could smell the familiar scent of her shampoo and her perfume, he loved how she already smelt like home to him.

"Charlie!" Ronnie shouted as he held his arms open.

"Ronnie, I've missed you!" Charles squealed as he ran into Ronnie's arms, while everyone laughed.

"Jeez, get a room!" Martha called as they all walked into the studio. Everyone was chatting and laughing as Brandon, Ronnie and Dave collected their things and got ready.

"This must be Lauren," Brandon said smiling as he graciously shook her hand.

"Oh my God!" Lauren said, starting to loose her cool.

"Relax and breath!" Martha counselled, with a grin.

"Says the girl who spent every conversation with Brandon looking at the floor and blushing like crazy!" Ronnie snorted making Martha blush and bury her face into Brandon's shoulder.

"I'm pleased to meet you all," Lauren said a little more relaxed.

They all made their way out to the limo, Brandon felt so happy to have Martha with him. He couldn't stop touching her, always finding her fingers with his, stroking her face or resting his hand on her knee. She looked so beautiful and now he was in it for real, he was having a hard time holding himself back from her.

In a Vegas nightclub, Martha, Lauren, Ronnie, Dave and Charles' boyfriend Martin were knocking back shots of tequila at the bar, while Brandon and Charles sat in their plush booth.

"I'm so glad you guys finally got it together," Charles said with a warm smile.

"I know," Brandon said smiling back.

"She's crazy about you, you know that, don't you?" Charles said looking into Brandon's eyes.

"Yeah," Brandon giggled, "You know I feel the same about her, right?"

"What are you two gossiping grannies talking about?" Martha laughed as she slid herself along the soft purple cushion of the booth seat towards Brandon's side.

"Just how much he loves Ronnie," Brandon laughed pointing a thumb at Charles.

"Yeah, I think I'll go and see how he is," Charles said with a wink as he climbed out of the booth.
