The Perfect Drunken Mistake

Putty in his hands

“Hey Caggs, I hope you don’t mind me bringing you some flowers” Brad says smiling.

“Sure, thanks they’re really nice. Come in?” I reply opening the door wider

“Thanks, Caggs” Brad then says, I lead him into the kitchen.

I sit down and stare at him for a few moments, I was staring at him a lot. We had grown closer and as much as I didn’t like to admit it, I was sort of starting to like him.

“So what do you have planned tonight?” Brad asks,

“Nothing, my mum’s out so I thought I’d just sit in tonight” I reply,

“Oh right, well let me take you out seeing as you’re on your own” Brad says,

“Fine, just this once. Let me change” I reply, I leave Brad downstairs and rush up to my room.

I change into a pair of leggings and an oversized jumper; I put on my tassel boots and then make my way downstairs. Brad is standing at the bottom of the stairs when I reach the bottom of the stairs,

“Are you ready?” Brad asks,

“Yep, let me just grab my house keys” I reply grabbing keys from the key box and putting them in my bag.

“Helen I’m heading out, I’ll see you later” I shout as I leave the house,

We walk through the park and then sit in a quiet part of the park.

“I’ve never been here” I say,

“That’s because whenever you go out you go to coffee shops or out to parties, Rosie or Amber’s never shown you the quiet places of town” Brad replies

I lie back at look up at the sky; Brad could tell that I was enjoying this. He lies down next to me and I then look at him.

“This is so nice” I say,

“I know, I’m glad you’ve come here with me” Brad replies,

I sit up and watch as the people walk past us, Brad then puts his arms around my shoulder and my jaw then drops as I watch my mum casually walk past me,

“Mum?” I say,

“Caggs! What are you doing out here?” Mum replies,

“I’m just out with Brad, are you heading home?” I ask,

“No going for coffee, come with me!” Mum replies,

I stand up and follow my mum, Brad soon catches up and he grabs my hand. I was okay with this for now, my mum seemed to be acting weird.

“Hey is your mum okay?” Brad asks,

“Sure she is” I reply sitting down at a table,

Mum brings us over our drinks and then sits next to me; I put my feet up and make myself comfortable whilst my drink cools a little.

“So Caggs, where did you pick up this hottie?” Mum asks,

“Mum!” I say quietly embarrassed,

“Ok ok, but at least let him speak” Mum replies,

I pick up my drink and begin sipping it; I didn’t want to be a part of this conversation.

“Well, I’m Brad Jones, and I really like your daughter” Brad says, I feel my face flush red and my mum then stares at me.

“Aw he’s sweet Caggs, I’ll be more than happy for you to take my princess out” Mum replies to Brad.

I slouch even more in my seat and quickly finish my drink.

“I think I’ll leave you two here to chat, I’m tired” I say standing up.

I leave the shop and manage to get half way down the road before I’m stopped by both Brad and m mum.

“I don’t mean to embarrass you Caggs, I’m just excited that someone’s taken an interest you” Mum says,

“Right, but I really want to go home. So just let me go” I reply,

“Sure, be careful Caggs” Brad then says pulling me into him, I smile and kiss his cheek.

I felt like a five year old kissing a boy to see if I caught cooties, I was definitely putty in his hands.
