R U Mine? - The Vamps Fanfiction

Chapter 8 - Hugs all round

Brad's warm breath on my face awoke me from my trance. I pulled myself off of him and turned away. I smoothed down my skirt and fixed my hair.

"Guys, save it for the bedroom" I heard Tristan say.

"Piss off Tris." I shouted back.

I walked over to the picnic rug. James and Connor were sprawled out over both, chatting amongst themselves. I sat down next to them and crossed my legs. I put my head in my right hand and picked at the grass.

"Are you alright?" James asked me, as he lifted his sunglasses off of his eyes to see me.

"Yeah I'm fine!" I smiled back at him.

He put his sunglasses back on and turned to face Connor. They both started chatting again. I didn't hear any of what they were saying. I was too busy thinking. Thinking about Brad. The way our eyes locked when we were inches away. The way he smiled like an angel. The way his hair hang loosely around his head, and bounced ever so slightly as he walked. The fact that we were only friends. Best friends. No more.

"Hey beautiful." Brad said as he walked towards me.

It wasn't directed at me, so I didn't say anything.  I just sat with my head in my hands, slowly ruining the grass around me.

"Why thank you Bradley." Tris put his arm around Brad.

"Not you stupid." Brad murmured, and pushed him away. 

My stomach dropped. He must have been talking about me. I blushed and a tiny smile crept onto my face. I hope he didn't see.

"We should be heading home soon." James sat up and said glumly.

"Yeah me too." I said and stood up. "Oh bother. I've left my bag at your house." 

"Don't worry we can go get it!" Brad responded.

"Seeing as we are all catching the train, maybe it would be easier if we just walked to the train station from here?" James asked.

"That's fine" Brad replied.

James and Connor got up from the rugs and James rolled them up and handed them to Brad. Connor ran to get the football and kicked it back on the way back to where we were standing. He was pretty good actually.

"Well, I need to go back with Em to get her bag so bye then!" Brad said. The guys all hugged and I stood there, looking at the ground.

"Bye" James said and came over to hug me. 

Tris and Connor did the same, but as Tris hugged me, he whispered in my ear:

"Hope you and Brad are alright on your own." 

After the hug finished I gave him a glare. They all waved one last time to us and walked off to the station to go home.

Brad and I walked back in silence to his house.
