Temptations - A Beau Brooks Love Story

Chapter 6

Work was the same as usual, nothing exciting just the same as always. Beau and Maddy were waiting for me as I left work. Beau honked repeatedly even though he could see I was clearly approaching his car.

He had the window rolled down and was smiling proudly. I flicked him on the head and got in the car.

“You're so annoying.” I laughed and rolled my eyes.

“Love you too.” He called.

We arrived at the shopping centre 10 minutes later. Beau and Maddy were standing chatting for a moment about what shops they would like to go to.

“Oi sexy, is that your boyfriend?!” A group of boys shouted at me causing me to blush.

“Nah.” I replied.

“Then come over here!” A different one called.

I looked at Beau but he was too busy talking to care, I made my way over.

“Bloody hell you’re fit.” A chavy looking boy stated.

“Er thanks I guess.” I replied awkwardly.

“Single?” A tall one asked.

I looked over at Beau again who still hadn’t noticed. I nodded quickly. I leant against the wall that they were crowding around, I felt a bit intimidated. I regretted coming over.

A boy approached me slowly getting so close we were within breathing distance. He was leaning in. He roughly grabbed my chin with his clammy hands. My heart raced. Shit. Shit. Shit. What the hell is going on!?

I closed my eyes in fright. Wait. Why hadn’t we kissed yet? I felt the hand suddenly fall from my face. I opened my eyes to see the boy lying on the floor holding his genitals and groaning. Beau was towering over him.

“IF YOU EVER FUCKING GO NEAR HER AGAIN YOU WILL REGRET IT. GOT THAT?” He yelled causing people to turn. The boy nodded before running off with his mates.

“Beau? You didn’t need to do that...” I said whilst giving him a quick hug. He was still breathing heavily.

“Sorry, I’m just protective...” He said still sounding angry but he smiled down at me anyway.

“Beau, she’s not your girlfriend. You didn’t fucking need to do that!” Maddy shouted angrily at Beau.

“Would you rather she was forced to do something she didn’t want to do? And she may not be my girlfriend but she is my BEST friend!” Beau replied viciously.

“It’s none of your business what she does or what happens to her.”

My mouth fell open. I couldn’t believe Maddy would even say that, just because she was upset doesn’t mean she can be an utter cow!

Beau seemed as shocked as me.

“How about we just go shopping...” He said whilst giving her a glare.

We stood in an awkward silence for several minutes. Maddy’s eyes were switching from me to Beau angrily.

“You two enjoy each other. Im going!” She said stroppily. We took Beau’s car so I guess she was walking...

“Should I go after her?” Beau asked.

“Up to you.” I shrugged. He stayed where he was.

“Nah i’m not leaving you, I will sort things out later.” He smiled.

I smiled back before linking my arm in his and pulling him towards Topshop.

“How about these? I asked Beau as I held some shorts up to my waist.

“They look the same as the last 3 pairs.” Beau moaned.

“So helpful.” I teased and whipped him with the shorts.

He chuckled. “Are you actually going to buy any of them?”

“No, we can leave don’t panic! What shop do you wanna go to?” I asked.

Beau sighed a sigh of relief. “Somewhere with food, haven’t had any lunch and you made me wait in Topshop for half an hour.”

“Fine.” I shrugged.

He dragged me to burger king and made me get seats whilst he went and bought the food, obviously he knew my order.

I dove straight into the food, I was starving and having lunch at work wasn’t an option as it was filled with models who starve themselves. If any of them saw me stuffing my face with burger king they would shun me.

“Hungry?” Beau teased.

I responded with the middle finger causing him to laugh at my rudeness.

I finished in a matter of seconds and then sat back in my seat, Beau had barely unwrapped his burger. He looked pretty impressed at me eating the burger.

“Maddy never eats in front of me.” Beau said quietly so I could barely hear.

“Yeah but she cares, whereas I don’t give a shit about what you think of me.” I said and laughed. I was lying, I cared more than anything in the world about what he thought, but I had to be myself.

“Well that’s obvious.” Beau said and gestured to my empty food packet.

“Bitch.” I said and grinned.

“Love you really.” He said and winked.

Oh if only he loved me in the same way...
