Can't Have It

Chapter 15

Olivia's POV
"I've texted all them the good news, I get to go home in a few months"

"Yup haha"

"I'm sorry this isn't actually a date" he laughs.

"It doesn't have to be, maybe I should just take a rain check" I say walking out the door. I take the stairs down instead of the elevator and am on the first floor now. I slowly start to make my way around boxes when I hear steps running to the stairs.

"Wait where are you going?"

"Home I think , you should get things sorted and we can just reschedule."

"No wait I can sort things later!"

By now I've reached the door, and Brad's reached me.

"You can't leave just yet."

"Why not?" I smile. Brad takes a look out the window and waits about a minute.

"Because of this " he says walking past me to the door. He opens it, takes something from a man, pays him and closes the door with take out in his hands.

"I ordered Thai Food. Hope you like Mint Leaf."

"You know that just happens to be my favorite restaurant."

"Oh really?" He says with a smirk on his face.

"It's odd you would know what it is, considering you just moved here" I say with a smile on my face.

" Skye is very nice"

"Of course she texted you "
I mentally note that I'll have to thank her later. It's funny that she knows what's good for me before I do. I'm just glad she chose to help Brad instead of Brody because I'm starting to realize more and more that I made the right decision. Brody would not go out of his way to set this up, he would've walked me after school to the Gastropub across the street after I dropped a bazillion hints that I was hungry. Then maybe one of his friends would've come along. I was blind to his flaws because of his reputation and it was definitely a downfall. But Brad is so cute and romantic and I can see that now as he's setting up some plates for lunch. He even ordered my favorite things! Pa Thai, yellow kuri, white rice, silver noodles, cha thai, and some fried rice. It's quite a lot of food but I could seriously eat all of it. It's the best Thai food I've ever had and I am quite the fan of Thai.

"I'll admit, Thai isn't my thing, but this doesn't look half bad." Brad says.

"You're not a fan of Thai? I would walk out that door right now if I wasn't so hungry" I laugh.

"Did I say I wasn't a fan? " he says joining me in laughter. He takes a seat next to me and I grab a plate and some chopsticks. I think I might just have a little of everything because it's all so good. I start to get some white rice on my plate before Brad walks over to a box and grabs some utensils.

"You know there's more chopsticks right here?" I giggle.

"Chopsticks hate me." He says taking a seat and serving himself with a spoon.

Brad's POV
It's a bit awkward admitting to her that I can't use chopsticks, it's not embarrassing but I can see she just sort of expected me to eat rice with chopsticks, but I hate them and I know I'm being stupid right now.Who in their right minds eats rice with wooden sticks that are impossible to use? I mean I would if I could but I can't so that's that.

"I'll teach you." She says simply. She picks up another pair and holds them out to me. I take them from her hands and she tells me it's just like holding a pencil. I fail horribly and she just laughs at me.

"I'm rubbish at this. " I say laughing as well.

"Aw anyone can eat with chopsticks" she says reassuringly.

"Obviously not me" I mean she's seen me.

" yea you can" she says smiling. For a moment we just smile at each other, and I would trade my entire existence to stay in this moment. Her beautiful eyes staring into mine while her slightly parted lips form the most beautiful smile. She looks away blushing and grabs some rice with her sticks then turns back to me.

"Open up" she giggles. I open my mouth and she feeds me the rice. I smile like an idiot while I sit there chewing. 'Anyone can eat with chopsticks' . She really is something else.
