Different (Brett Talbot Love Story)

Chapter 5

  AVERY POV

We got into his car, which was pretty nice for a teenager. It was a 2013 Mustang GT and it was black. I loved it.

"How can you afford this car? It's so nice" I asked him. He looked over at me and smiled.

"To be completely honest with you, it's my dad's car. He let me borrow it for our date," he said and then winked at me.

"My father would never let me borrow his corvette. He loves it more than me" I said, and we both laughed. Brett took one hand off the steering wheel and put it on my knee. I instantly felt warm, as if I was cold before. I looked up at Brett who was just smiling at me. We arrived at this sort of fancy restaurant. I went to her out of the car.

"Don't you dare open that door," Brett said with all seriousness. I took my hand off the handle and put it back in my lap, still smiling. Brett smiled and hopped out of the car. He walked around the car and opened my door.

"You know I'm fully capable of opening my own door," I said

"Yeah, but I'm trying to make this the perfect date so that you will go on another one with me," he said. I only nodded, and while having the biggest smile on my face. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers and led us into the restaurant. The hostess then greeted us.

"Hello Brett, it's wonderful to see you again" said a older Asian looking woman. "And who did you bring?" She glanced over at me smiling.

"This is Avery, she is my date Satomi," Brett said. She nodded and smiled at me.

"It's so nice to meet you, Brett mentioned he would have a date" she said and led us to our table. I didn't speak a word, I only nodded. When we got to our table, Brett pulled out my chair for me and the hostess Satomi put our menus in front of us.

"Your waitress will be out any moment" she said and left us to our meal. When she was a good enough distance away, Brett spoke up.

"Your extremely shy, you know that?" He said while smiling gorgeously at me.

"Yeah I know, it's always been that way. I have always been in school with Liam but we didn't talk until 6th grade year." I said and he just chuckled.

"Well I hope I can bring you out of your shell," he said. We enjoyed our dinner together. He has Parmesan chicken and I had an incredible spaghetti. He payed for the check and the tip, even when I frowned, all he said was "your money is no good here." We got up and left our table, once again Brett grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers and walked to his car.

"Did you have fun?" He asked when we got into the car

"Yes, I had tons." He smiled at me and started driving. He put his hand on my thigh but this time with the palm up. I took this as an opportunity to hold his hand which he accepted and gave my hand a little squeeze. We eventually pulled up to my house. He once again opened my door for me and intertwined our fingers as we walked to the door.

"You know, I had a really good time on this date, and I'm really hoping for a second one, so after my lacrosse game, If we win I'll take you to ice cream and if we lose I'll talk you to ice cream" he said smiling at me. I loved his smile, it was the kind of smile that made you smile.

"Gosh Brett your so clingy" I said and winked at him. "But I would love for a second date, and we all know you won't lose." He smiled at me and then his smile dropped.

"Wait here" he said as he ran back to his car and pulled something out of the back seat. It was a hoodie and a small one too. He handed it to me with a smile and I looked at it. It had the schools name and lacrosse logo on the front and the word "captain 28" on the back.

"Did you have this made for me?" I asked laughing.

"No actually that is one of mine that shrunk" he said while laughing. "But I want you to wear it to the game that way every one knows who your with and if you want you can wear it at school."

"Does that mean we're an item?" I asked

"We're something" he said smiling. I smiled back at him and went to walk inside when he grabbed my arm. "No goodnight kiss? I was really looking forward to it" he said giving me that million dollar smile again. I looked at him when he looked at me and then leaned down. I closed my eyes and waited for the kiss but after a few moments it never came. I opened my eyes and saw Brett there with his eyes closed waiting.

"What are you-" I was cut of by Brett kissing me. Our lips moved in sync with one another and it was a gentle but long kiss. We eventually broke apart.

"Wow, oh yeah we are absolutely something" he said. I giggled and walked inside. I shut my door and locked it and walked up stairs. When I looked out the window Brett's car was just leaving. And I was still smiling about that kiss when I got a text from Liam.

"Oh Avery were something muah muah"

"Liam where are you! And why are you spying on me?" I yelled throughout the house when I heard Liam walking up the stairs

"Just wanted to make sure you didn't come home crying or he didn't try to take advantage of you" he said. I only smiled and hugged him as we sat on my bed and I told him about my wonderful date.
