you're cute ➳ brent rivera + brad simpson

CHAPTER 9

"Brent stop it." I laughed as he tried to snuggle up with me. We were currently studying for tests we both had this week and were testing each other. Well I was before he started begging me to sit with him.
"Tallulah I already know you're gonna ace this test. Just come here, I want you with me." He begged as he pouted.
"Going to." I corrected. Brent gave up and left his room. Music was blasting out of my phone but I put my earphones in so I wouldn't get distracted. These next tests count for 60% of my end of year grades.
"You're insecure, don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or. Don't need make up, to cover up, being the way that you are is eno-o-ough-" I sang. One Direction was my all time favourite band and on my wall back home, it was covered with their posters. My wall now is a lot bigger so I have those same posters and few other bits and bobs too.
The topic I was reading had finallyended and I decided that was enough revising for today. I packed my stuff away and checked to see what Brent was doing. He was standing in the doorway.
"How long have you been there for?" I asked, hoping he hadn't heard me sing.
"Long enough," he walked towards me, wrapping his arms around my waist, "You're good you know. Singer." And he crashed his lips onto mine. I returned the kiss and we moved into a more comfortable position.
"Ahem," Someone coughed. We both turned around looking at a grossed out Lexi, "Mum said its time for dinner, she said you can stay as well Tallulah." She said and I smiled.
"Tell her not not wait for me. I have lots of homework to do." I explained and Lexi nodded.
"Brent, when you go down please tell mum I'm going to forcibly knock out the last bits of my memory. Next time, get a room." And she left us.
"We are in a room Lexi. MY ROOM!" Brent shouted.
"Whatever!" Lexi replied and left the room.
Brent looked at me again and smiled.
"Lexi's cute. Say hi to everyone for me." I said. Brent pretended to wipe tears from his eyes and I giggled.
"See you tomorrow?" He questioned.
"I don't know. Harvey asked me out on a date and I said I'd give it a try. He promised me not to tell you. Oops." I shrugged. Brent actually did look worried and I burst out laughing.
"You're hilarious!." He chuckled and kissed me. I waved goodbye and headed towards my house.

The wind blew into direction and I shivered because of the cold. My hands shook as I tried putting my key in the door. I was just about to step into my house when freezing cold water was thrown all over me. Some sort of sticky liquid was thrown next and feathers stuck into my clothes. I gasped at the cold and tears brimmed my eyes. Who could do this to me?

A giggle came from behind me and I turned around to see a smirking Rebecca.
"What...the...frick." I said while trying to wipe the honey that was about to drip down my eyes.
"Pay back bitch," She smirked, "I told you Brent is mine and I will go through whatever it takes to bring you down." Then suddenly people I knew or recognised from school appeared from behind cars or trees and began laughing. A few tears escaped from my eyes and I wanted to run away, to never be seen again.
"I'll told you guys I'd do something." Rebecca shouted before pushing out her hip. Everyone clapped and cheered. Some took videos and pictures but I was too humiliated to stop them.
"REBECCA WHAT DID YOU DO!" Brent screamed whilst standing in his doorway. Lexi and everyone else from Brent's family ran out to see what had happened. Lexi gasped and Brice-Brent's older brother- walked up to me taking me inside their place again.
"You've taken this too far Rebecca. What the hell, Tallulah doesn't deserve this!" He shouted.
"All of you go home, nothing to see here. You young lady, stay." Brent's dad said whilst pointing at Rebecca. Everyone left and that's when I had a proper breakdown. Brice tried soothing me and got Lexi to get me some spare clothes from my place. Brent's mum appeared and sat next to me with a towel.
"Hey dear. Go and have a shower, clean yourself up." She smiled. I collected the towel and headed towards the shower.

It took forever trying to get the honey off me and my body felt weird. While I was in the shower I heard someone knock on the door.
"Hold on." I said whilst grabbing my towel, I hadn't finished showering and my legs were still very sticky. Brent opened the door holding my bikini. He was wearing his swimming shorts and tried to put up a smile. I knew he was hurt.
"Put this on." He told me and he turned around as I started putting it on.
"Why am I wearing this?" I asked.
Brent stepped in the shower and held his arm out for me to grab. Or as a gesture for me to get in the shower with him. He switched on the shower and the water was a reasonably warm temperature. My hair was already dripping wet but his messy hair was only beginning to get soaked. Our chests were right against each other and the heat from his body was rising.
"I'm sorry," He said, not looking me in the eye, "About Rebecca."
"Don't worry about it. I'm okay." I lied. Brent put up a fake smile and nuzzled his face in my hair. His arms wrapped around my waist and hear radiated off his chest. Brent turned the dial and soon cold water splashed on us. I screamed and gasped as the water came in contact with my body. He chuckled at me and wiped his face even though more droplets rolled down his cheeks.
"TURN THE HOT WATER BACK ON!" I screamed loudly as I shivered. Brent chuckled as he obeyed my instructions and I glared at him.
We were in the shower for a good 20 minutes before I got changed into some of Brent's clothes.
"I love you." He whispered. At that moment I realised Brent really did care for me.
