Roommates

Chapter Ten

(Just before Bree and Bradley's date.)

Bree's POV
Looking into the large oval mirror in my room I see a very nervous, scared girl looking back at me. I'm so afraid of screwing things up and doing something wrong because I'll probably never ever get this chance again to go out with him. I hear the door being opened and turn around to see Nate.
"He's here for you."
Checking the time I realize that I've wasted a lot of time daydreaming.
Grabbing my essentials I pop out of the door and rush into the sitting room where I see an uncomfortable Levi talking to my date. For some strange reason the atmosphere feels really awkward and uncomfortable.
As always Brad looks like a model ready for a photoshoot, a wide smile meets his face when he looks in my direction which brings a smile to mine.
"Ready to go?" He asks, offering his hand. I take it and knit our fingers together.
I shout out a goodbye to Levi as we both walk out the door hand in hand. I'm literally so nervous right now I'm actually surprised that my hands aren't sweating buckets.
He still hasn't told me where the hell we're going but since he told me to dress casual i guess that rules out somethings.
We drive for what seems like for ages before we reach a small woods. (Idek if there even is a woods near LA and idec bc this is a fanfic so just go with it guys)
"Did you seriously just bring me out all the way out here just to murder me?" He chuckles, linking our arms again he starts to lead us into the trees.
"Mind your step." He warns as we walk deeper into the woods. After a few minutes I begin to see a large opening right ahead of us and as we get closer I realise what he has planned.
"Are you bloody serious?!" This has to be one of the sweetest things that anyone has ever done for me. The area turns out to be a small meadow, filled with wild flowers and in the middle is a large baby blue blanket with a picnic basket on top.
"Do you like it?"
"Of course I do, it's beautiful. How did you do this?" I am literally in a state of shock and amazement. I look around to take in my surroundings and from the corner of my eye I see Brad looking like a proud little boy who just won a running race.
"I got some friends to set this all up just minutes before we arrived. They said that they put in flashlights and extra blankets just in case we stay here for a while so we won't have a hard time trying to find our way back."
I lie on my stomach on the blanket while he sits with his legs crossed one over the other.
"You really didn't need to go to all of the effort just for me."
"I know I didn't have to, I wanted to." He reaches back behind him and brings back a small bouquet of the wild flowers that are growing around us. "...I really like you Bree and I wanted to make this a special night."
"Well you've certainly have."

From then on the air was filled with chatter with subjects that differed from favourite foods to favourite bands and singers, from embarrassing childhood memories to weird things about ourselves. We both lie out on our backs and look up at the darkening sky. It isn't until we see the first star that Bradley suggests that we should start to head back. We start packing away the leftovers but Brad stops when he picks up a small sharp knife.
"Wait! I've got an idea." He effortlessly gets up and offers a hand to help me. When I manage to stand on my two feet without falling over he simply says
"Pick a tree." A look of utter confusion takes over my face.
"What?"
"Don't ask questions, just pick a good tree." Still confused as to what he's thinking I pick the biggest tree on the edge of the meadow. He runs to the tree, knife in hand and tells me not to come over just yet.
He comes back in a minute or so with blood on his left index finger.
"Oh god you're hurt, what the heck where you doing over there?" I take out a tissue from my purse and wrap it around the cut.
"C'mon and I'll show you."
Right in the middle of the tree's trunk Bradley had engraved our initials with today's date and a small love heart beside it.
It's probably one of the most cheesiest things ever but I don't even care. I grab him by his leather jacket with two hands and smash our lips together. I seem to catch him off guard, hell even I didn't expect i'ld have the balls to do it but he quickly gets into it. His tongue brushes against my bottom lip, wanting to deepen the kiss so I grant him access. Things between us get pretty steamy but he puts an end to it before we end up going too far even though I was in no way happy about it.
"C'mon we need to start heading off before it gets too dark."

The journey back actually felt way shorter and in no time at all we were at my front door despite me telling him that he didn't need to bother.
"I had a lot of fun tonight, thank you."
"It was my pleasure." I route around my purse for my keys and when I eventually fish them out I lean over and lightly kiss him on the cheek.
"Night Brad." I open the door but Bradley stops me.
"Have you got any plans tomorrow?" I nearly say yes but then I remember about my plans with Levi.
"I actually do, I'm hanging out with Levi, how about you come over the day after and we can have a movie night?" He looks disappointed but quickly cheers up when I mention the movie night.
"I'll see you then so, night Bree."
When he goes out of sight I let myself in and literally collapse against the door.
I don't see Levi sitting on the couch until he speaks up.
"I take it that the date went well."
Looking up at him I started grinning like a crazy person.
"You have no idea."

AN:
I'm such a bad person, I'm sorry that it took forever for me to update this.
I saw The Tide and The Vamps a month ago and they were so amazing, I literally died so many times bc I was near the front and I GOT JAMES' GUITAR PICK AND I TOUCHED BRADLEY!!!!!!
The Tide were amazing too but I wish that they played more songs.
