"Babe please come! It would be so much fun, my family likes you!" I beg brandon to join me at my cousins wedding. Brandon sits on a bench saying nothing but shaking his head. He is wearing a white crew neck with gym shorts.
"Weddings aren't my thing. I don't think your mom likes me baby. Not that I care anyway." Brandon speaks. My smile turns into a frown when I sit beside him.
"Y-Brandon, please?" I was about to ask why he wouldn't care if my family like him. They have met before. Yes, my mom said she didn't get a good vibe from him but still.
"I said No, Catherine." He says in an annoyed voice. I'm taken off guard at his tone.
"Fine." I stand up from the bench. I start walking away when he grabs my arm.
"Where are you going?" He says in a lighter tone than before. I remove his grip from my arm and glare at him.
"I'm going home. I don't need to stay here to be talked down to." I remove contact with him and he backs away from me.
"I'm sorry, baby girl. I just-" he starts but I don't allow him too.
"I honestly don't want to hear it, Brandon. You're giving me attitude because I want you, my boyfriend to come with me and you give me attitude? No." I breathe. He stares at me with those big blue eyes he has, saying nothing to make me feel better.
"Okay then." He finally says after a minute of silence. "I'll see to you later." He says before leaving. Wow okay then. I watch the tall man leave with his head held up.
I get my phone out of my purse and call Nathaniel. Within two rings he answers.
"Hello there." It sounds like he just woke up from a nap.
"Were you asleep Nat, nat?" I ask while getting into my car. I hear him yawn on the other side of the phone which makes me yawn.
"Yeah I just took a little nap. I didn't sleep so good last night." He says. To be completely honest, I like his voice when he just wakes up. It sounds so lovely.
"Do you, by any chance have work or school tonight?" I ask starting my car.
"Nope." He responds popping the p. I put him on speaker then drive off into the street, heading home.
"Then bring over some Chinese food and come over to spend the night? I have some ranting to do." I tell him. I hear him laugh through the phone.
"Would you like an egg roll too?" He speaks which makes me smile. He knows me so well.
"Yes please." I say into the speaker of the phone. "I'm like five minutes away from my place."
"Sure thing. And uh, where were you?" He asks.
"With Brandon."
"Is what you're going to rant about Brandon?"
"Yes it is." I sigh. "Its annoying me and making me mad." I hit the steering wheel with my left hand.
"Whoa hot pants." He laughs. "Wait, are you driving?"
"Mmhmm" I say not wanting to say yes because I know he will get upset.
"Catherine! Get off the phone, you goof! Ill get the food and be over your house in ten to fifteen minutes tops." He says and hangs up without giving me the chance to say bye. I throw my head back while stopping at the stop sign. I should ask Nathaniel to go with me. I'm sure he will say yes. He better say yes or else I am going to go alone and I don't want too. Cade is probably going to bring Kylee.
I think about how easy it would be if Nathaniel and I were together. We have known each other for years and years. We know each others wants and desires. Nathaniel is easy going and so nice to me. My mind gets distracted by the green light in front of me.
