Red Love

Chapter 12

"Dylan, don't look at me like that,"

It had been about an hour since we'd got home. Dylan had started on the 'overprotective brother act' from the minute the changing room door had closed at Anfield.

I'd been telling him for the past 20 minutes that I'd been talking to Jordan outside.

"That's the god's honest truth!"

"I don't believe you," Dylan frowned.

I was sat on the couch inbetween Lexa and Jay. Aaron was stood near the kitchen door out of the way and Dylan was stood up in front of the TV. If I'm being honest, he was being a bit of a cock.

"Why?! Why do you overreact at the smallest thing?! I haven't done anything wrong!" I retorted angrily.

"Dylan, you're acting like she just killed someone. Stop getting so stressed!" Lexa intervened and Dylan rolled his eyes at her.

"Don't you start! It was probably your idea to get the both of them together!"

"Do not drag Lexa into this, Dylan! Nobody has done anything wrong! I was having a civilised conversation with Jordan Henderson not making out with him!" I shuddered. That would be very wrong considering I hardly knew him!

"I'm finding it hard to believe you. I know what you're like." Dylan raised an eyebrow at me.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"

"Drop the act, Bea. I know what you're like with guys."

"Oh my god, that is so unfair! It's got nothing to do with you if I have a boyfriend or not anyway! Jesus Chist! It's like you're intending I can't speak to a guy without your permission now! What the hell is wrong with you?!" I shouted.

"Why can't you tell me what really happened then?" he replied angrily.

"I have! I told you what happened back at Anfield! What more do you want from me?!"

I could feel tears stinging my eyes now, simply out of pure frustration with my brother. He never believed me when it came to guys...

"Look man, you can see this is upsetting her. Can't you just drop it? She did nothing wrong," Jay said to Dylan as I wiped ill-tempered tears from my cheeks.

Dylan hesitated and then frowned.

"I'm sorry Bea-"

"Don't even talk to me Dylan. I'm so annoyed with you right now," I got up and stormed to my bedroom. Lexa was hot on my heels. She slammed the door behind us for good measure.

Then, she said the mother of all comments.

"What a colossal prick!"

I couldn't help but laugh. She always knew how to cheer me up.

"In all honesty though he's only looking out for you like all good brothers should." We both sat on my bed and peered out of my window at the beautiful Stanley Park which was now caked in afternoon sunlight.

"I know, but does he have to be so over the top?" I frowned.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. But you know you're telling the truth, right?"

"Of course! I felt sick and dizzy in the changing room and I needed to go out for air. I ended up collapsing and Jordan Henderson was there to help me. He'd obviously followed me out, it's not as if I asked him to come with me. We then talked for a while, came back down the tunnel and, well, everyone saw what happened next..." I said and Lexa laughed.

"I nearly died of jealousy!" Man, how lucky are you?!" she held up her hand and I high fived it. "Let's see the proof then! I assume he wasn't just randomly looking through your phone?"

I giggled and pulled my phone from my bag and flicked through my contact list until I found Jordan's number. I handed Lexa my phone and she gasped.

"So it really did happen! You do have his number!"

"Of course it did! You saw him give it to me with your own eyes!" I chuckled.

"I thought it was too good to be true though! And...Oh. My. God. Your contacts go: Jay, Jordan and then me! I'm next to Jordan Henderson in your contact list! I think I'm about to hyperventilate!" Lexa's eyes were as wide as anything as she stared at the screen.

I cracked up with laughter at her reaction. She looked exactly how I was feeling this afternoon!

I still couldn't quite believe it had happened. I felt slightly embarassed that I'd collapsed in front of him and he'd been there to save me yet again! But Jordan had been so nice about it all and he'd been sweet enough to exchange numbers AND to kiss a stumbling idiot like me on the cheek.

Not to sound too High School Musical-ish but maybe this really was the start of something new for me...
