Accidentally in Love [Brett Hand x OC]

38

They had finished their first week of filming, and they were invited to their very first A-lister party downtown. There were only people of high status in the club, from celebrities to influencers.

Even Reagan was socializing, she had chatted up a guy and was now dancing with him on the floor. Gigi and Andre spent most of the night together, disappearing now and again probably to go make out, and Theo spent most of her time with Brett.

That was until Brett needed some air so he went to the bar, probably also to get them more drinks.

"Hey, Theodora." She turned around and saw Zac Efron behind her.

"Hi." She said, instantly nervous to be around him.

"Come dance with my friends and I." He said, holding out his hand.

"Uhm, actually I'm just waiting for-" She started, looking over at the bar for Brett.

But he seemed to be preoccupied, he was talking to a girl at the bar. She could tell they were flirting by the way Brett was leaning casually against the bar, and the girl was laughing and batting her eyelashes.

Theo felt happy for him, obviously, they were friends and she was totally happy for him. But for some reason she also felt mad. Which was confusing, because it's not like she liked him or anything.

"Nevermind," She turned to Zac, suddenly feeling very bitter. "let's go." If Brett could ditch her to talk up some girl, then she could dance with Zac Efron.

She took his hand and he led her to the dance floor nearby which was perfect because she could keep an eye on Brett. Fuck, why would I want to keep an eye on him?

The crowd whooped and cheered as the pair arrived, all attention on them now. Brett and the girl turned around, and he pointed to Theo, probably pointing out that he knew her and Zac Efron.

Locking eyes with Brett, Theo's face was stony and she danced closer to Zac Efron, letting his hands go around her waist. Why am I acting like this? Whatever, I'm just drunk, that's all.

She pressed up against Zac, his hands on her hips as she moved them to the beat. Brett watched her, feeling confused. Was she doing this on purpose? Why is she looking at me like that? She hadn't really shown any interest in Zac Efron so why was she even dancing with him? Does she dance like that with everyone? Then why doesn't she dance like that with me? Fuck, don't think about that!

He turned his attention away from Theo and back to the girl at the bar, but her eyes certainly stayed on him, her brows furrowed.

She watched as the girl placed her hand on Brett's arm, laughing at something he said. He leaned forward and said something into the girl's ear, and Theo felt like she was going to throw up.

Why? Why the fuck am I like this? Why are you mad that your friend is paying attention to someone else other than you? Theo left without a word to Zac, storming towards the bar.

Reagan stopped her, though. "What are you doing?" She surveyed her sister's harsh glare in Brett's direction.

"I'm thirsty." She shrugged.

"I know you're gonna interrupt them." Reagan rolled her eyes. "Don't."

"I'm not." She snapped, "Like I said, I'm thirsty."

"I get it, you're jealous and all, but-"

"I'm not." Theo repeated, and continued to the bar, Reagan hot on her heels.

"Can I get a water?" She leaned over the bar, talking to the bartender. She had deliberately posted herself right next to Brett and the girl.

"Oh hey, this is Theo and Reagan." Brett told the girl, "Guys, this is Angela."
