Beach Love [Sequel to Unexpected Love]

Beach Love part 16

Hey guys, so if you guys got my message, I was kind of stuck with this chapter. I revised it a whole bunch because I didn't know if this was the exact route I wanted the story to take, but I decided on a midpoint. Hope you guys enjoy and please comment and tell me what you think! Thanks! :D

Chapter 16

Brady's eyes turned into perfect circles. He stared straight into my eyes, not responding. I waved my hand infront of his face a few times. "Brady?" I tried again. It was no use. Who knows where his mind was now. I stood up to walk out of the room, but then Brady grabbed my wrist. "Wait." He stopped me. I sat back down, obeying him. He kept his hand right on mine. "Do you- Do you really mean that?" He asked. I shrugged. "Well, yeah. I wouldn't lie to you about something like that. That's why it's been so hard for me to admit it." I rolled my eyes and rested my head in my hands. "But I just can't do it to you! I can't put you through that pain!"

I felt his warm, muscular arms pull me into him. I didn't remove my face from my hands, however. "It's okay." He comforted. "You wouldn't be putting me through pain. You're putting me through enough pain right now." My eyes were damp now, but I still continued hiding my face.

After about five minutes, Brady broke the silence again. "Do you know what?" He asked. I didn't answer, but he told me anyways. "You're putting us both through hell with this. You have to take a flying leap sometime." Those words actually spoke to me. Out of everything I've ever done in my life, that's the one thing I never do. Take a flying leap. I play it safe constantly. I need someone to give me that certainty. I need someone that will be right there, encouraging me and supporting me while I take that flying leap.

I looked up and met his brown eyes, gorgeous as ever. I leaned in and touch his lips with mine. Butterflies filled my stomach and my heart beat over a thousand miles an hour. I exhaled and did it again. The same feeling returned. Brady sighed this time and his breathing picked up a little. I wrapped my arms around his head. Brady fell onto my bed, making me land on top of him. He looked up at me, his eyes strained an unsure. "You got to help me through this. Take the flying leap with me." I said. His hand held mine securely on his chest, then cracked a cocky smile. "Always."

I woke up by the sun pouring through my window. Also, there was a snoring sound coming from somewhere. I stretched my feet out and jumped a little. My foot had hit someone's leg. My eyes got big and I snuck out of bed as quietly as I could, not even bothering to look and see who was in bed with me. Oh great...you're kidding me. I looked up at the ceiling and hit myself in the forehead. Why, why, why, why...?

Suddenly my stomach felt earily empty. A rumble triggered and a low growl came from my stomach. I still couldn't catch my breath fully, trying to process everything. I was also feeling light-headed. I took another breath, as the room began to spin around me. You're okay Amber, everything's going to be fine.

Step by step, I finally made it to the refridgerator. Opening up the freezer, I grabbed an icepack, holding it to my head. Hopefully this would help my wooziness. I could feel a headache coming on as well. I waddled to our island bar and took a seat on a stool. A groan escaped my mouth.

"Amber?"A familiar, groggy voice rattled in my brain. I squeezed my eyes shut and bit my lip, trying to hold in the scream of pain that was about to be released."Amber, are you okay?" I took three quick breaths and answered him. "Yeah?" The least amount of words I use, the better. My teeth rattled and I felt like there were two cement blocks squeezing my head.

I heard a stool get pulled up beside me. "Are you okay?" My spine shivered in a bad way, and I let another groan out. I burst out into tears with the pain that was going through my body. My head ached, my body ached, and I was still nauseated. A warm arm craddled me. "What's the matter?" Brady asked, his words pounding through my head. I leaned into his chest, hoping he'd take the pain away. Make it stop. "Headache. Intense headache."
