Accidentally in Love [Brett Hand x OC]

28

The party continued on Rafe Masters' boat, and after their near-death experience, everyone was keen to get absolutely smashed.

Reagan was the drunkest out of all of them, Theo had never seen her like this before, and it was hilarious.

Theodora slumped down on the nearest chair, glancing over at Jasper. Even though they had all nearly died, he still hadn't asked her to dance. She almost laughed at the fact that these were her priorities at that moment.

Everyone was on the floor, all the couples, even Reagan was up there drunkenly dancing with Rafe Masters, but Theo stayed glued to her chair.

She sighed audibly, hoping Jasper would catch a hint, but his stupid ass just sat there, staring down at his phone. God, she hated him sometimes.

"I'm gonna go get a drink." She said flatly. Jasper only hummed in acknowledgment, so she got up and stormed over to the bar.

Careless Whisper began to blast on the speakers, which only further reminded her of the fact that her boyfriend didn't care to dance with her.

Gigi was also at the bar, talking to the bartender. "Hey, girl!" She exclaimed. "Why are you looking so blue?"

"Eh. Jasper's being a dick as per usual." She shrugged and took a seat on a stool in front of the bar.

"In that case, wanna do a shot?" Gigi asked excitedly. "I just got done dancing with a 10 but I need me some liqueur so he stays a 10."

"Alright." She laughed.

"2 tequila shots please." Gigi said to the bartender.

"So, who's this guy you were dancing with?" She asked the girl next to her.

"You see that blonde right there?" She pointed to an alright looking guy to which Theo scrunched her nose up at.

"He's like, the opposite of Andre." She said in a teasing tone.

"Oh shut up." Gigi snapped, hitting Theo's arm.

On the count of three, the girls took the shot. Theo slammed her hand down on the bar, shuddering.

"Andre repulses me." Gigi choked out, placing the little glass back down. "Theo, explain to me how this works? I hate Andre! Why do I keep hooking up with him?"

"Don't question it!" She reassured Gigi, "You two confuse me so much, but for some reason it just makes sense."

"Okay." Gigi breathed.

"He certainly likes you." Theodora's stomach warmed as the tequila hit her.

"Other than sexually?" Gigi added hastily.

"Yes, he likes you for other reasons." Theo rolled her eyes.

"Alright, I have to get back to my man." Gigi jumped out of her seat and trod off.

"Which one?" Theo called after her before standing, herself.

Her eyes scanned around in boredom. Standing across the boat, alone, stood Brett. He happened to look at her at the exact same time. Or perhaps he had been watching her all this time.

Careless Whisper continued to blast through the speakers, "Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd."

Theo offered a small smile to him, it was strange that they had happened to look at each other at the same moment, but maybe it felt right.

He smiled back, his eyes troubled with something. Maybe he felt the same, with no one to dance with.

"Maybe it's better this way, we'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say." The song continued and Theo let out a small laugh at the sight of his monacle and scottish kilt.
