Problems With Love

Chapter 7

Kristen's POV

Brandon and some of the guys were coming over for dinner that night and Kris is a terrible cook. "Will you make us something Krissy?" he asks. I roll my ryes. "No, just order a pizza or something," I tell him. "Nah I'm not in the mood for pizza. Besides, you're an amazing cook!" he says. I groan. "Pretty please???" he begs giving me puppy dog eyes. "Ugh fine whatever!" I finally give in. "What do you want?" He thinks for a minute. "What about pork chops and potatoes," he suggests. "Ok whatever," I say. "Great!! The guys are coming over at 7 and we can eat at 7:30," he says. It was already 5 so I had to get moving. "Fine!! you owe me!" i yell walking into the kitchen.

TIME SKIP *6:45 PM*

I was in the kitchen making dinner and listening to Pandora. I was really just having fun with it singing and dancing while I cooked. A few minutes later Kris walks in. "How's it goin?" he questions. "Good, it should be ready around 7:40." I say. Just then the door bell rang. Kris ran and answered it. Then he walked back into the kitchen with all the guys. Brandon came up behind me and hugged me from behind. I turned around and hugged him back. "Hey get a room you too!!" Andrew yelled. "What are we not allowed to hug?" I laugh. "Nope!" Kris says. I just roll my eyes. Then Talk Dirty started playing. I sang along to the lyrics.

I'm that flight that you get on. International.

First class seat on my lap girl. Ridin comfortable.

Cuz I know what the girl them need. New York to Haiti.

I got lipstick stamps on my passport. you make it have to leave.

Been around the world. don't speak the language. but your booty don't need explainin. all u really need to understand is when

you

talk dirty to me.

Kris starts rapping when that part comes on. it was really fun actually.

Dinner is ready about 7:45. I make everyone a plate and we all sit down to eat.

After dinner, I made the guys do the dishes since I made dinner.

Brandon's POV

I was going over to Kris's with some of the guys for dinner. I really hoped Kristen was there. I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend.

When I got there, the rest of the guys had just pulled up. All together it was me, Shawzy, Tazer, Kaner, Leddy, and Crow. Kris answers the door. He leads us into the kitchen where Kristen is making dinner. I go up and hug her from behind. To my delight she hugged me back.

TIME SKIP *AFTER DINNER*

I decided now was the time I should ask Kristen to be my girlfriend. Before I asked her to be my girlfriend, I asked Kris if it was ok with him when we were doing the dishes.

We went into the living room to watch tv after we washed the dishes. I say next to Kristen. "Um hey Kristen.. Can I talk to you? In private?" I ask nervously. She gives me a warm smile. "Of course" she says. We go upstairs into her room and she shuts the door. She goes over and plops down on her bed. "What's up?" she asks. I take a deep breath. "Ok so we've known each other for a while now and we've been on a few dates, and I was wondering," I pause. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask. her face lights up like a little kid on Christmas. "Of course!" she says jumping up and hugging me.

We go back downstairs and sit next to each other on the couch holding hands. "Looks like Sadder boy's got himself a new girlfriend!" Corey says. Everyone laughs. I feel my face grow red. "Yeah so what?" Kristen laughs. Leddy throws a pillow at Corey. "What was that for?" Corey laughs throwing the pillow back. "There's nothing wrong with them dating. You're dating one of her best friends!" Leddy says. "I never said it was a bad thing. I'm just joking around," Corey says.

We keep watching TV and I notice Kris is really quiet. Even though he was on the same couch, I shoot him a text so the other guys don't ask questions.

TO KRIS: You ok? You've been really quiet since after dinner.

TO BRANDON: yeah I'm fine. I'm just kinda sad about Kristen that's all

I look over at Kris. He just stares blankly at the screen.

TO KRIS: why?

TO BRANDON: idk I guess it's just that's she's my little sister and I don't want her having a boyfriend. she's just growing up too fast

TO KRIS: Aw. I totally understand! it's ok dude. We all grow up

TO BRANDON: ik she's just my baby sister that's all

TO KRIS: Ok that makes sense.

A little while later the guys and I decide to leave because we have practice in the morning. I hug Kristen goodbye. Then u tell Kris quietly so the other guys don't hear, "Hey man it ok how you feel about Kristen. It makes total sense. Dint worry is never try to hurt her," He smiles. " I know you won't." Then I leave.
