The New Fosters: A Brallie Story

Chapter 10

Brandon's POV:

I wake up to the best thing ever, Callie peacefully asleep in my arms. I glance at the clock on my nightstand, 10:00. It's a Saturday morning, should I wake Callie up? I promised her we wouldn't get caught so I better. I kiss her temple and whisper her name. Her eyes flutter open and she shields them from the sunlight with her hand.

"What- what time is it?" She asks.

"10:00 o'clock." I tell her.

"I need to get back in my room before Mariana wakes up," she says sitting up.

"I'll check if the coast is clear," I say getting up and slightly opening the door. I nod at Callie and she gets up and slips out the door. She looks around and the gives me a quick peck on the lips before going into the bathroom. A huge grin forms on my face as I shut my door again. I hope she doesn't change her mind.

I get dressed and practice my piano a little. I start to practice and add to the song I've been writing for a while. At first I didn't know what it was about, but now I know it's about Callie. After playing for an hour with my headphones on, I leave my room and go into the bathroom.

I brush my teeth and wash my face then I go downstairs for breakfast. As I walk down the stairs I see Callie coming out of her room. She shut the door quietly behind her and headed for where I stood on the stairs. A wide smile forms on her face when she sees me, I have a smile on my face that mirrors hers. I look all around to make sure no one is around and able to see us and then I kiss her cheek. "Good morning," I whisper to her.

"You already saw me this morning," she whispers back. I roll my eyes at her jokingly and then we continue down the stairs.

"Good morning Brandon... Oh and Callie," mom (Lena) says.

"Morning," we say at the same time and then laugh at each other because of it.

"You two are in a good mood. Are you not fighting anymore?" Mom (Stef) asks.

"We weren't fighting." I say, pretty unconvincingly might I add.

Mom rolls her eyes, "okay if you say so. Callie where is Mariana?"

"Still asleep," Callie replies back.

"Oh this should be fun then," mom (Stef) says with an evil grin.

"Stef," mom (Lena) warns.

"What? It's punishment for coming home drunk," she says. This can't go well, but it sure will be fun to watch.

"What are you going to do?" Callie asks.

"Trust me you'll see," mom (Lena) says shaking her head and trying to hide the smile on her face. My moms can be pretty ruthless sometimes. Mom (Stef) grabs a air horn from the drawer, don't ask why we have it because I really don't know, and heads up the stairs. I nudge Callie and we follow mom.

We decide to sit and watch from Callie's bed, front row seats. Mom kneels next to Mariana with the air horn in hand. Callie and I cover our ears with our hands and mom presses the top down filling the room with the loud noise.

Mariana jumps up, eyes wide. "What the hell was that? Ow. Ow. Ow. My head." She whines.

Mom waves the air horn around, "that's what you get for coming home from a party drunk and telling Lexi's parents Jesus and Lexi are having sex."

"Wait. I did what?" Mariana asks.

Mom nods her head and walks out of the room calling, "and your punishment has barely even begun yet. Get up and ready for the day."

Callie points to the nightstand, "there's water and aspirin there for you. I put it out last night."

"Oh thanks. Did you guys just sit there and watch her do that to me?"

"Yep and I've go to say I'm glad I did because that hilarious," I say laughing. Mariana glares at me and points to the door signaling for me to get out. Callie and I stand up and leave the bedroom going back downstairs to get the breakfast that we left.

"Where's Jude?" Callie asks.

"Jesus went with him to get something for school," mom (Lena) says. Callie nods and grabs us two glasses and the orange juice. I grab plates and silverware. We both take some of the pancakes and bacon moms made. We sit at the table awkwardly eating while moms are completely oblivious to the fact that it's awkward. I don't know what to say and neither does Callie obviously, at least not with moms in the room.

After we're done we rinse our plates off. "I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll take my phone if you need me," Callie says to my moms. They both just nod and smile at her in response.

"I'm gonna go to, uh, Aiden's." again they both nod and smile. Callie runs up the stairs too ran her phone and I slowly walk out the door. When Callie comes outside and closes the door I give her a quick kiss, "do you want to do something today?"

"We are trying to keep this a secret. That means no kissing right outside the house in broad daylight and yes I do want to spend the day with you." She says all in one breath.

"Okay then go grab your guitar, I think I have the perfect place."
