Can't Have It

Chapter 12

"That wasn't nothing. Who the hell is that guy?" Brody is practically yelling at me now.
"Oh please, don't try to play the jealous boyfriend card we've been going out for a day."
"I'm sorry I don't want to lose you to some loser trying to steal my girlfriend!"
"Oh my god! Get over yourself you jerk."

I take off into the sidewalk, away from the boardwalk as I continue to school. This is not what I signed up for when I said I would be his girlfriend. At first I felt bad because I was having second thoughts, but now I'm glad he saw me talking to Brad. He acts like talking to another guy is cheating on him! How pathetic.

I finally arrive at school and see Skye. The bell rings for first period after I finish telling her the morning fight.

"Look as much as Brody was at fault here, I can kinda see his point. He really likes you and last time you guys broke up so easily, he's just paranoid. I think he deserves another chance, but I'm rooting for Brad."

"Thanks Skye, I'm going to class" I say smiling at her. She always knows what to say. After her morning pep talk I finally know what to do with the situation.
- - -
It's finally third period, and it's time to just get this over with. I walk as slow as possible to class, just barely dodging the tardy bell. I see Brad's already in his seat, so I when I walk to the desk it's a bit awkward when I pull out my chair. I just take a deep breath and mentally count to three.

"Hey Brad, I owe you an apology"
I say sheepishly.

"It's alright, I'm buying plane tickets back to England as soon as these classes are over, so you can just cut the bullcrap."

"Y-your leaving?"

He just laughs at my response.

After that, it just hits me. This guy, this genuine guy, who I've had so much drama with in so little time I realize, I like him a lot. More then anyone I've ever liked before. I'm not saying I love him or any of that shit I barely know him but God he means a lot to me. That's when one single, lonely tear falls down my cheek. God no. I don't know him I need to calm down this isn't some cheesy soap opera okay, get your life together. I look away to make sure he doesn't see it.

Brad's POV

It hurts to tell her all of this, I really liked this girl, but I have something waiting for me in England and I really don't want to stick around anymore. That is until I see a tear come down from her cheek.
"Hey hey hey" I try to soothe her.
"No I'm sorry, I'm being so dramatic I literally met you like last week, I'm on my period okay so I'm emotional." she says laughing. Her laugh is honestly heavenly.
I laugh along with her.
"I'll miss you curly."
"Wow you give me a nickname right after I plan on going?!"
"So does this mean I get one to then or are you going to leave me hanging??"
"Alright Libs"
"Hmm , very original" she winks at me.
I don't pay attention the rest of class time, and when the bell rings, it's time for fourth period. But I'm not really feeling it.
Olivia's POV
I guess we're friends again, I'm really glad but I want him to stick around so I can get to know him more you know? That's when he grabs my arm and pulls me out of class. Once the hall is pretty clear cause the bells about to ring, he gets down on one knee and it honestly looks like he's going to propose.
"Will you, Olivia I don't know your last name, ditch fourth period with me?"
I laugh at his dumbass scene but play along.
"Omg I - I don't know what to say!"
"Say you'll ditch with me"
He stands up and we're both just dying of laughter now.
"Let's go curly." It's my turn to pull his arm. We literally just walk out the front door and now I have no idea where he plans on going.
"Hmm, I hope your not tired of the beach" he says.
"How could I ever be!" I bat my eyelashes and he laughs while we start walking.
After about 5 minutes, we've reached the sand.
"This was a bad idea. " I say giggling.
"Why?"
" my moms not at work yet so I can't go grab beach towels!"
He just starts laugh... Holy shit he's taking his shirt off. OH MA LORD SKCOSJZIDJIZJXKSJS
He sets his plain black tee on the sand and takes a seat then patting the other side for me. His shirt isn't very big, so our arms are squeezed next to eachother.

"Can you tell me what you were going to say in class?"

Oh god no.
"Um, it doesn't matter anymore, it won't make a difference" I blurt out.

"Come on!"

"Um, well I was going to um... I was just going to ... I was planning on leaving Brody to... I don't know why I'm telling you this I should just shut up now."

"You were going to leave him for me." He concludes.

This is so awkward I just look away.

" I guess this shouldn't be awkward since your leaving anyways" I say.

"You know I like you too, right?"

" yea but Brad I keep trying to tell myself this, it doesn't matter YOUR LEAVING, it's just best we forget about this I mean it's honestly not that big a deal so we have crushes on each other.
,what is this, the fifth grade ? I live here. You live in England."

"Ouch" he says.

"You know it's true."

"Maybe I might stick around for a while... Would you let me take you on a date then?"

Did he just ask me out? And he's staying? Is he staying for me ?!

" I still haven't told Brody anything, and I want this to go slow so I hope your okay with that."

"What do you mean by slow?"

"I mean I'm not ready to hop on a flight with you to England because we're madly in love" I laugh.

"Woah woah woah" he laughs. "Who said anything about love? Geez you want me bad" he says with a smirk on his face as he lays down in the sand.

I turn to look at him in shock
"I do not want your flabby ass !" I say smacking his six pack. The irony.

"Rude!" We both laugh and I lay next to him.

"One date." I say.

"We' ll go from their" he concludes.
