His "girlfriend" - Bruno Mars' fanfic

Chapter 11

Bruno’s P.O.V

I woke up by some voices that came from downstairs. I thought it was Ryan, but then I noticed that the voice was Barbara’s and some other guy. I dressed up and went downstairs. There she was, with this guy she danced in the club that night; Matt I think his name was. I forgot that I gave her permission to invite him here to study together.

They didn’t acknowledge my presence. I stood there and looked at them. Matt was definitely trying to win Barbara over. Every time she would look down to write, he’d come closer to her. Whenever she spoke, he looked her straight in the eyes smiling. I bet he didn’t even listen to what she was actually saying. He’d smile once in a while with no reason. He looked her eyes, then her lips, then her eyes again, studying every inch of her face carefully and smiling ear to ear. He’d find any excuse to come close to her almost touching her face with his. I saw he purposely would touch her hand once in a while, pretending it was an accident.

I don’t know why but I didn’t like this situation at all. I’m not convinced yet that this guy is the right one for her. Maybe his intentions are not good. I felt like this guy couldn’t be my friend. His presence made me vomit.  I remembered that today I had a radio interview and Brandon said that there would be fans outside the doors of the radio, so I’d better bring Barbara along. I had the perfect excuse to make this Matt leave.

“U ready?” I asked her immediately without saying even good morning. I didn’t feel like being nice to them today, and I didn’t know why.

”Morning to you too” she said sarcastically after she noticed I’m downstairs.

”Good morning bro” Matt said to me. You ain’t my bro I thought but didn’t reply.

”Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed” he said joking, making Barbara laugh. I hated how her laugh sounded this time, even though I’ve always liked her laugh.

”I once said I like the SILENCE in this house, but some people simply don’t understand” I said looking at Barbara.

”I’m sorry if our voices woke you up, but I really have to prepare for my exam” she said apologizing. Yeah right, studing.They were FLIRTING, not studing. Anyway I wouldn’t let this bother me.

”Get yourself ready, you’re coming with me at the radio interview” I said to her with a cold voice.

“Isn’t the interview in the afternoon?” she asked me while looking down at her books.

”Yeahh, but we’re eating lunch with the crew at Erics” I said to her hopping Matt will get the hint and leave. Thank God he did. I couldn’t stand his presence anymore.

After we finished lunch at Eric’s it was the time to leave for the interview. Presley made Barbara wear some short dress even though Barbs didn’t want to. She hates dresses, but I have to say she looks amazing on them. She wore only mascara on her eyes, and I liked the fact that she doesn’t wear too much make up. Her eyes don’t need it. I opened the door of my car for her to come in. Even though my driver insisted to take us there I wanted to drive myself and spend some time with her alone. The car drive was silent so I decided to change that.

”So, how’s studying going?” I asked just to break the silence. ”Fine, but I can’t help feeling a little bit nervous” she said trying to smile but I saw her hands trembling a bit. I guess she was not nervous just for the exam

“Don’t worr, everything will be okay. Hooligans will treat you right today. If you won’t feel so comfortable just hold my hand tight.” I said knowing exactly that she was scared to face the media and my fans today. She just smiled and looked away at the road. As we arrived there I see a lot of fans outside just like Brandon said. I open the door for her and hold her hand tight. I noticed she’s more nervous that I imagined she’d be. I guess she’s not used of being the centre of attention, as a matter of fact she hates it.
