Those Three Words - (Beau Brooks / Luke Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter Six - The First Move

Within seconds this magical moment was interrupted by the sound of the engine turning off. Jai did a loud, unnatural cough, hinting to get out the car. Well this was awkward, I was in a car with three strangers, and the one that previously called me beautiful was now holding my hand making me feel weirdly happy and uncomfortable at the same time.

As I crawled out of the ridiculously low car, Beau gripped my wrist helping me out. I give him a small smile, "Thank you". When I got out he released my wrist, "Your welcome", he said with a nervous smile across his face.

I then decided to keep my distance from Beau for the rest of the night, I didn't really have much to say to him anyway, so I wouldn't want to make a conversation of random bull crap.

We didn't end up going to the cinema that night, we were all tired from the long meal so left it for the next night. We all piled on Jenn's 3-piece sofa leaving Daniel jumping on top of us all, lucky me underneath 2 semi-grown men.

I squeezed myself out from under Luke and Daniel and skipped towards the television. I was looking through Jennifer's DVD selection, when I came across Saw 4, apparently the scariest one. I placed it in the slot in the DVD player, before getting everyone's attention, "c'mon guys, get off eachother and lets watch a movie, seeing as we're not going to the cinema anymore?"

I heard a few groans as Daniel got off, and then Lily and James sat on the floor, huddled with a blanket over their shoulders. Sally, Luke and Jenn sat on the sofa, leaving me, Jai and Beau without a seat, resulting to me sat on the comfy rug by the fire.

Just before the movie started, while the trailers were still on, I creeped up to Jenn asking her if she had any popcorn.

"Yeah, it's in the bottom left cupboard, by the sink." She said smiling at me. I returned the smile, and quietly walked into her kitchen.

Her house was gorgeous, so of course the kitchen was furnished to perfection, meaning everything was colour matching, fridge, sink, microwave, toaster, cupboards, everything. I was completely unaware that I was staring at her cupboards like a mad woman. I heard small footsteps and turned around, no one was there, I just stopped staring and tried to find the damn popcorn.

I squatted so I was on level with the bottom left cupboard. I heard a tiny chuckle from behind me, causing me to turn around quickly. It was Beau. I asked him what he was laughing about.

He bit his bottom lip, "no carry on, I'm liking the view", he then winked at me with a grin on his face. Woah woah woah, was Beau trying to flirt with me? I realised I was in a position exposing my behind, got the popcorn and stood up.

"Are you going to help me or what, the films about to start?" I asked him changing the subject of my backside.

He smirked, grabbing a bowl out of the cupboard, beginning to fill it.

"Why would you do that?" I asked, curious to know why he was attempting to flirt with me. "What? Help you? I'm sure you asked me to do.." "No, decide to use a line on me?"

He went quiet for a second whilst walking around the counter top towards me. I didn't know what he was doing, so I just stayed where I was.

He got really close to me, literally an inch. I froze, I guess giving him permission to proceed. It got to the point where our foreheads touching, and he said four words, just four words, that made me melt...

"I think your hot." He slowly walked away with the two bowls of popcorn, leaving me stunned, I wanted to say something, but my body went numb, letting him leave the room.

I was stood there for at least ten minutes, questioning myself what the duck just happened, until I heard a little scream from the other room. The film had started.
