Separated (Chris Brown Fanfic)

Chapter Four

Chris Brown

After we finished breakfast, things got kinda quiet. We woke up pretty late, and I was still tired.... Really tired. Bri just looked down at her empty cereal bowl, playing with her spoon, as I waited for the awkwardness to pass.

"Bri?" I asked, trying to get her attention.

"Huh?" She continued, still looking down.

"I wanna do something..."

"Oh it's okay if you want to leave early, I can ju-" I cut her off.

"No, I wanna do something with you." I chuckled, turning her face towards mine.

"L-like w-what?" She questioned, her dark chocolate orbs staring at me.

"Just meet me at my house at 7." I said as my gaze dropped slowly.

"S-sure. Why though ?"

"No reason... Just be ready by then, nothing fancy. I should probably go home, I need to take a shower and change..."

"The guest room is full of your clothes though, you practically live here." She reminded me, nudging my shoulder.

"But this is special, I don't want to wear anything you've seen before." I smiled, slowly reaching down and grabbing her hand. "I'll see you later Bri."

Before I knew it, I was on my way to my house. As I reached the door, I grabbed the house key out of my pocket and tried to get the door open. My hands were beginning to sweat, not to mention they were shaking. Was I really that nervous? I let out a deep sigh as I finally unlocked the door. I raced up the stairs, and into my room. My parents were on their honeymoon, which left my aunt in charge. I knew she'd be leaving later though, she had to work the night shift today.

"Chris I'm leaving! Make sure to lock the doors!" My aunt yelled as I heard her walk down the stairs. I quickly pulled my door open to respond.

"Aight I'll see you later." I said as I frantically looked down at my watch. I still had an hour to get everything ready.

After I was finished getting dressed, I pulled out my phone and checked the time, 6:45pm. I slumped down in a nearby chair and tried to relax. When I managed to calm down, I walked into the backyard and made sure everything was prepared. I heard the doorbell ring not too long afterwards, and I knew who it was right away. I tugged the brim of my snapback before opening the door to Bri. She was wearing a green crop top, some jeans and flats. I smiled at her and cleared my throat before speaking.

"Uh....Hey Bri." I said as I welcomed her in.

"Hey..." She spoke softly as I tangled my fingers in hers.

I admired the silence as I let her to the backyard. There was a giant blanket laid in the middle of the grass, along with a light blue hammock strung between the trees. Bri turned to me in shock as she tried to speak.

"T-this is for me?" She squealed in delight.

"Only you." I smirked as she gave me a tight hug.

We spent the rest of the night watching the stars overhead as the sky slowly darkened, with the sounds of nature slowly rising in volume. I looked at Bri as her eyes slowly fluttered to sleep, and wrapped her in my arms as she let out a deep breath in relaxation.

"Night Bri..." I mumbled.

"Night." She said sleepily.

I woke up at Bri's kitchen table with a bowl of cereal next to me and a spoon in my hand. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I looked up at a concerned Bri. It was all a dream.
