Believing Me |B.S.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The drive to the party was mainly silent. Ashlee kept glancing back every once in a while to look at me and Brandon. I awkwardly laughed as she looked back once again "what?" I questioned. She raised her eyebrows as if to note me or remind me that I could be missing something. "Nothing" she replied back, giving a slight smirk. Christian looked through the rear view mirror as if he was questioning Brandon. "What is with you guys tonight?" I asked out loud to the both of them. Ashley and Christian both glanced at each other. Silence filled the air with an unwanted awkwardness. I watched as the buildings in the city maneuvered past my tinted window. I looked back at the front to see Ashlee put her hand on top of Christians. I smiled to myself thinking about how cute they are together.....

*flashback*
"This love has taken its tole on me, she said goodbye to many times before..." I sang along to maroon 5, as I looked at Kasim, who was keeping one hand on the steering wheel and the other on my thigh. I loved the way he always looked so concentrated and focused when he was doing something. He looked straight at me, a smile plastered on his face. He turned his head back to the front, keeping his eye on the rode.....
*end of flashback*

Brandon's POV
I slightly glanced over at Kalani, hoping she wasn't paying me any mind. Her elbow rested on her thigh while her chin was on the palm of her hand. She was concentrating on something. I'd give anything to know what was going through her mind. I just met her and she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Cliche right? I know, I couldn't help it. When I closed my eyes for a second, her smile and eyes were still there. Engraved deep into my memory. Something id probably never forget. I want to know her. I want to keep her secrets and know her opinions. "Brandon!" Christian snapped me out of my thought. "We're here" he said. I unbuckled my seatbelt and hopped out of the car. Closing the door behind me with a slam. I looked down at my iPhone screen, 4 new messages from Hayley. God, will she just go away. I don't want to fix things between us. I just want her to forget we ever happened. I gave her my heart and she still cheated on me. Typical Brandon for you though, always falling hard. I can't say I've ever thought any women was beautiful up until I met Kalani though (there's an exception for mom though). Me and Hayley had a whole lot of history but she couldn't keep her hands to herself and she was never as beautiful. I walked around the car to open the door for Kalani. "Thank you!" She said. She stuffed her phone into her purse. We walked to the porch steps of Ryan Newmans house. Of course, it was Christian, he always had us going to frat houses. I didn't mind though, the parties were usually lit. I usually get drunk and then I would catch a cab. I never brought any girls back with me though. I was loyal to Hayley. You'd think that now since I was single id party with hella girls. Tonight, I didn't want to.... I wanted to get to know Kalani. We walked through the house. Typical college girls running around. Minnie skirts and Belly shirts. Good looking bodies but not my forte. "DO YOU WANT ANYTHING TO DRINK?" I tried to yell over the music to Kalani. Christian and Ashlee held each other's hand as they walked away from us over to a group of people. "WHAT!!!" She yelled back. I put my hand on her hip as I got close to her. I put my mouth up to her ear. "Do you want anything to drink?" I asked again. "Oh no, I have band camp tomorrow. I wasn't even planning on staying out so late." I understood were she was coming from. I have football practice tomorrow and no one wants to be hungover. "Do you wanna dance th-" my sentence was cut short. Some idiot turned around and spilt liquor all over Kalani. "AYE MAN, THAT SHIT AINT COOL! WATCH WHERE TF YOU'RE GOING!" I yelled at the drunk guy. Kalani's face was bright red. "Uhh..." I tried to think fast. "Do you want me to get you some towels?" I asked her. Semi-pissed yet really embarrassed she replied "naw, I think I'm just gonna head out. I know we just got here but I'm not wanting to stay with wet clothing on". "Let me come with you" I stated. "Sure" she answered with a smile.

Kalani POV
I grabbed into my purse, fumbling around, trying to find my key. I realized it wasn't in the bag. I stood there for a second trying to figure out what I did with it. Shit! I left it on my desk in the room. "Hey um... I sorta don't have a key. I left it inside my room". I studied his face as he thought for a second. He reached back and scratched the back of his neck. He gave me a slight embarrassed look. "You can come over to me and Christians house if you want to?!". Christian and Brandon live in a house off of campus since they don't have to live in the dorms anymore. "Uh sure, since I'm locked out. Would it be weird to ask if I can take a shower?" I asked a little hesitant. "No not at all" he immediately answered back. "We share a house with Tyler and Mason... Mason has a girlfriend, Jessica, I'm sure she'll be fine with you over."

I walked through the door to Brandon's room. "This is nice." I stated. "Thank you! Jessica isn't answering her phone. I forgot that she's out this weekend. There are products in the bathroom you can use for a shower but I can't give you any of her clothing. Uhh I have one of my t-shirts and boxers though.....". I looked at him. I guess he was feeling a little weird about asking since we've only known each other for a total of 4 hours now. I didn't have an issue with it. "Uh yeah that's fine." I agreed. "Alright I'll lay out the clothing for you and I'll show you where everything is and then I'll let you get to it while I sit in the living room and watch tv." I nodded my head.

Brandon's POV
I flipped through the channels getting bored. There wasn't anything good on to watch tonight. I changed into some gym shorts and a wife beater before I sat down. I heard a door open as Kalani walked down the hallway to the living room as I sat on the couch. She wore only my t-shirt. "The shorts were a little big and I got kinda cold so I put on two shirts". I starred at her for a second. God, she looked good in my t-shirt. "What?" She asked. "Do I look bad?" She questioned. "No you look fine." I answered her question. She sat down on the couch next to me. She laid a pillow on my lap and laid her head down. "Getting a little close are we?" I jokingly said. "I'm sorry I'm just really tired.." Before I could ask any questions or talk to her. Her tired eyes gave in and sleep got the best of her. I picked her up and carried down the hallways and into my room on my bed. I covered her up and studied her face for a moment. A look of innocence took over. I smiled to myself as I walked out and shut the door behind me. I walked over to the linen closet and grabbed out fresh new bed covers and blankets. Thanks Mason for deciding to go to Florida with Jessica this weekend. I don't have to sleep on the pull out mattress.

A/N
Thank you for reading. As always vote and comment. I'll be super appreciative of it. I have not decided what days I'll be updating so you're going to have to bare with me. Things are about to get busy with it being April meaning testing is around the corner (I'm a sophomore in high school). Also as usual around this time of year, marching band it's about to start back up. I'll also be traveling in about 6 (I think) weeks from tomorrow (Wednesday 4/13). It will be an issue because I don't know how connecting to wattpad is going to as far as that but...

As always, Stay Confident and Beautiful
