Masquerade (A Bradley Simpson Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

We parked directly outside McDonalds and we got out of the car. The harsh wind ruined my hair and the coldness made my fingers. I made my way to McDonalds, not looking back if Brad was behind me. As I was about to open the door Brad snuck up behind me and gave me such a fright.
"Leaving without me?" He said with his hands around my small waist. It felt like we were a couple, all I wanted to do was turn around and kiss him. So that's what I did.
I grabbed his hands and turned myself to face him, he looked down at me cupping my face. Our lips connected with no hesitation, I didn't want it to stop. You always hear about kissing "the one". How it feels magical and right.
That's exactly what I felt. The kiss lasted for about 10 seconds until we swiftly pulled apart, looking into each overs eyes in awe. His eyes looked different from before. I saw love and passion in them. Oh so innocent Brad.

"Come one, let's go stuff our faces with junk." I took his hand and opened the door to the cramped fast food restaurant and waited in line. We remained holding hands whilst we waiting. Not daring to let him go.

Once it came out turn I ordered a plain cheese burger, fries and a chocolate milkshake. Brad orders a Big Mac, fries and Coke. We took our seats upstairs and waited for our meal to arrive.
"Plain cheese burger is so boring!" Brad exclaims, raising his eyebrows at me

"Well that's all I like here, and McNuggets. I'm such a baby!" I pouted. He looked at me with longing eyes and held my hand under the table.
"Your my baby." He said and kissed my forehead, I pulled away quickly not making eye contact.
"Brad, what are we?" I asked, hoping for a clear answer.
"What do you mean?" He lied, tucking my hair behind my ear.
"You know what I mean! You kissed me today and now we're acting all lovey dovey. I just don't want to waste my time if nothing's going to happen!" I said taking his hand.
He looked at me sincerely, kissed me on the lips and broke apart and bent down on one knee. Wtf? He isn't....
"Aria." He looked deeply into my eyes and smiled,
"Will you...be my girlfriend?" I let out a big sigh of relief and shook my head at him, laughing.
"Of course Brad!l" I said and hugged him tightly, our food arrived 2 minutes later and we ate like absolute animals
And we were finished in 5 minutes. We were such pigs today.
"Stay at mine tonight? You can sleep in my bed!" He winked at me. I accepted the very tempting offer and we skipped back to the car with very full stomachs.

I played me and my girls all the way home. That song seemed to annoy him. So I just kept singing louder and louder.
"IF WE WANT WE TAKE IT IF WE NEED MONEY WE MAKE IT!!" I screamed at him, he started laughing and shaking his head as he drove.
"BUT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND I DONT NEED A MAN!" I clapped on before being interrupted by Brad.
"Okay you can stop your awful singing we are here!" He insulted me as we returned to his huge house.

We greeted his parents again and decided to go upstairs to watch a movie. I picked out elf because it's near Christmas.
We watched the movie all the way through as Brad wrapped his arm around. When the movie ended I looked up at Brad and saw that he had fell asleep. I wasn't tired enough to sleep so I wrapped him in a blanket and came downstairs to his loving family.
"Oh hey Aria darling where's Brad?" His mother asked, gesturing me to have a seat in their cosy living room. The fire crackled and I felt very homely, I haven't felt that way for a very long time.
"He's upstairs sleeping!" I smiled, accepting the orange juice that his dad handed me. We had a long chat about Brad and his family and the fact the Brad's actually in a band with the boys, which I did not know.
I looked up at the clock and realise we had been talking for quite a long time and it was now 10 at night. I explained that I was going upstairs to sleep and we all got ready for bed.
Brad was still sleeping when I arrived in his room, I was still in the clothes I wore the previous day so I looked for some of Brad's clothes that I could wear.
I found an arctic monkeys t-shirt and some sweatpants that were too big for me. I slipped back into bed with Brad and wrapped his arm round me once again. As I was about to drift off to sleep I heard Brad's sweet voice whisper in my ear.
"You look hot in my clothes." He said,
"Were you watching me change?" I asked in horror,
"Maybe." He winked at me, we then both fell asleep so comfortable, like everything was going to be okay.
And this time it did feel like everything was okay.
All because of Brad.
He saved me from a nightmare I thought I couldn't crawl out of.
