you're cute ➳ brent rivera + brad simpson

CHAPTER 15 ➳ UK

I sat in a Starbucks cafe, sipping on my caramel frapuccino. It's the only thing I ever order here and the waiters know what to get me even before I ask.

"He is such a player T. I can't believe I fell for that guy." Ashley cried. Since I began going to Cambridge Uni, Ash has been there for me since the start. I told her about America and we've been best friends since.

"I told you s-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence T.66" she warned and I laughed.

"Hello ladies." The waiter winked as he collected our plates.

"Caspar go away." I shooed and he smiled showing his unmissable dimples. My heart fluttered whenever I saw them.

Caspar and I started hanging out when he messed up my order on his first day. It was cute because he blushed until he became a crimson colour. He showed how sorry he was by kissing me on the cheek. You could say he's like a brother to me.

"You know you love me Lula." He winked again.

"Don't call me Lula, Cas" I shouted as he disappeared into the kitchen.

"I'd tap that booty any day." Ashley admitted as she stared at Caspar's behind. She received looks from others in the cafe and I just scrunched my face at the disgusting remark she just stated. I pretended to gag and she laughed.

"What he's cute." She smiled sipping from her latte.

"Whatever Ashley. Remind me to set you guys up."

The bell on top of the door rang as a figure entered the shop. It was a boy with brown curly hair, shades and a hoodie. Weird clothing for a sunny day like this. He wasn't anything special so I resumed to my conversation with Ashley.

Once the boy was done with his order he sat in the seat behind me sipping from his caramel frap. He likes the same thing I do.

More people ran into the shop, specifically more girls who squealed when they saw the boy.

"Sorry just play along." The boy told me and I nodded. He held my hand and leaned in towards me, our faces almost touching.

"I'm not gonna kiss you. Don't worry. I just don't want them knowing it's me" He quietly chuckled. I smiled.

"They're fans. Always following me." He explained. I knew how he felt because when I used to go out with Brent, fans were everywhere.

"Why? Who are you." I asked. The boy got up still holding my hand leading me towards the exit.

"Bye Ashley, I'll text you." And we left.

The boy soon told me his name was Brad but still didn't show me his face. Brad took me to a nearby park and we sat on the swings, just talking.

"So wanna play 20 questions?" He asked and I nodded, squinting at the sun shining in my eyes.

"Can we like go under somewhere shady." And Brad laughed noticing how I was struggling to keep my eyes open. His laugh was adorable. He took me to a large oak tree and we both sat down.

"Okay so I already know your name. Erm how old are you?" Brad questioned.

"I'm 18, 19 next January. What about you." I answered and Brad smiled.

"Good so now I know you are the right age for me." He flirted. I raised my eyebrow before he explained himself.

"I'm 19 in a few months. My turn. Do you have a boyfriend?"

I frowned at his question, "No, I am single and have been for the past 2 years." I tried holding tears back as the memories of me and Brent came flooding back.

"I'm sorry, I wouldn't have asked if I knew you'd be upset about it." He apologised.

"No no it's okay. It was 2 years ago, I don't understand why I'm feeling this way. Anyway, do you have a girlfriend."

Brad chuckled before he answered, "I'm still waiting for that special someone sooo-"

"So no." I smiled and he nodded. Brad made me feel happy inside and I looked down to stop him seeing me blush.

"Okay this is going to be my last question because 20 is a lot."

"I never really liked this game." I shrugged.

"Okay Tallulah. Would you be offended if I kissed you right now." He smirked. I bit my lip and Brad leaned in. Our lips connected and his lips felt soft and plump. The kiss wasn't too intimate or too worthless. It felt good.

"Mmm cherry." He said as we separated, licking his now shiny lips. I hid my embarrassment by hiding my face in my hands.

"You're a joke Brad." I giggled as I got up, wiping any grass that managed to stick to my butt.

"I think it's time for me to head home." I yawned. The sun was beginning to set and the sky looked beautiful. I got my phone out to take a picture and uploaded it on Instagram.

"You have Instagram? Let me follow you." He said as he took my phone out of my hand.

"Oi." I complained, jumping to get my phone but I failed. Brad gave me my phone back and I checked the history.

"Bradley Will Simpson huh. I've heard that name before." I knew where I recognised Brad's name from and I now knew where he had fans from. He was part of a band called The Vamps and I loved them. I just fricking kissed the lead singer. He took his shades off showing a pair of chocolate brown eyes.

"Oh really."

"I just kissed the lead singer of The Vamps." I jumped with joy. Brad smiled and offered to take me home.

"You're different... in a good way."

We stood outside my apartment door, my arms wrapped around his neck again and our lips in contact.

"Selfie." I announced. Brad smiled and got into a comfortable position before the picture was taken.

"Ew I look horrible, take another one." Brad complained.

I felt lips on my cheek as the flash went off. The photo looked cute and was definitely going online.

"Call me." Brad said handing me a note with his number.

"Will do." I smiled and entered my apartment shutting the door behind me. I went to the kitchen to see the last person I wanted to talk to.

"Who was that?" The voice asked and my smile disappeared.

"Brent what are you doing here."
