The Other Sugg (COMPLETED)

33

Tris and Connor end up coming back without James, saying he was working things out with Kirstie. Gonna be straight up honest.. I hate her. James may love her but I hate her. The girl just walks right into my apartment and starts accusing me and James of things we didn't do and then smacks me for telling her off.

James doesn't come back for another hour and unfortunately the spoiled brat came back with him. I huffed and rubbed my cheek as Brad groaned and walked into the kitchen. We were all fully dressed now as James and Kirstie fell onto the sofa, holding hands. I stood to my feet and went to walk towards Brad as James began to talk.

"Loey...Kirstie has something she wants to say." I looked to Brad and screamed help with my eyes as he just grinned at me and ate the leftover pizza from my fridge. Thanks babe.

I turned and look at James, completely ignoring the blonde girl sat to his left.

"James... I don't wish to listen.  I'm sorry I don't. And before you say anything... this is my home. She was bang out of order! Storming into this place like she owns it and talking to not only you but myself and ahead too like we're complete arseholes. I'm sorry James but you can do so much better then someone who treats you this way. It's not healthy. I love you and support you, you're like my brother but I'm not going to sit around and watch you get hurt again. We're heading out for dinner, you can either join us or go make your own arrangements but your girlfriend and I are done." I confidently spoke out as the others stayed quiet before turning and grabbing my jacket and bag, ready to leave for dinner.

Everyone but James and his bratty girlfriend followed me out so we left without him, which to say the least I was upset about.

We arrived at the restaurant and got a table for six. Brad kept one arm around my waist as we ate and talked about the odd and end things that have happened over the past couple months. Even though the six of us were having a nice time, I couldn't help but feel sad about James. Brad noticed my mood and leaned in to whisper in my ear.

"Don't think about it, he made his choice. Let's just hope he realizes." I feel him place a gentle kiss on my temple and I turn to look at the sweet curly haired boy that I'm lucky enough to call mine. He smiles at me before setting down his fork and brushing back a lock of my hair behind my ear as he brings his lips to mine, kissing my visible pout.

Brad has this way of kissing me and instantly making my worries and anger melt away, like my own personal relief drug.

"How are things with Joe and yourself now Loe?" I looked away from Brad's face with a smile on my face as I turned to face Tristan, who was now taking a large gulp from the water glass.

"They're good. Sorted things out. Nice to have my brother back. Works been busy for him, I guess and yeah but we're okay thankfully." I smiled just as the waiter handed out the dessert menus and we ordered.

"Your cheek still looks painful." Ana spoke and I lightly touched it and winced a little but smiled.

"Its fine can we just enjoy dinner without thinking about James and his thing please?" Brad held up the glass of red wine he seemed to have magically pulled out of nowhere and held it up.

"Agreed!" I giggled as Tristan and Connor held their drinks up too and joined in.

*Later That Night*

"Brad!" I giggled out with a squeal, making him madly laugh as he fell on the bed with me in his arms. We laid there for a while with secret kisses between us in a content state. I was stupidly happy and lucky with this guy.

"Loey?" I hummed in response as I was slowly falling asleep wrapped in his arms on my bed.

"I love you." My heart felt like it exploded within my chest and a stupid shit eating grin made its way onto my face.  I looked up towards his face that was slightly rosy in his cheeks from the alcohol and from the three little words.

"I love you too." The words falling from my mouth as I finally confess them to him. A soft smile playing on my lips as he leans down to bring his lips to mine in a gentle, loving kiss before we both drift off to sleep in happy bliss.

My sleep is interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on my front door. I look over to see Brad still fast asleep so I quietly remove myself from his embrace and grab his sweats from the floor, pulling them over my bare legs. The knocking gets more impatient the closer I get to the front door. I pull it open to see a drunk James with tear stained eyes. I gasp at the sight of him as he looks up at me.

"Loey... please forgive me. You're one of my best friends and I can't go on with you mad at me." I shush him as he was speaking loudly, telling him Brad was asleep still.

"I'm sorry.." He trails off and I help him inside, guiding him to the couch before making us some tea. After handing him his tea, James goes on to explain everything about what happened with Kirstie. The whole falling in love with her, her cheating on him, him taking her back, her accusing him of cheating on her with me, and then them making up again. I realize that James is just too loving and has too big of a heart for someone like her, which means he just gets his heart broken over and over again. I hold the tall boy in my arms, playing with his hair as he cries himself to sleep. I could kill someone for hurting this sweet boy.
