Superstar// Brady Tutton

10// its not what it looks like

The restaurant was a cute little place in 'The Grove,' which was similar to an outdoor mall. Inside, we were seated quickly and towards the back of the restaurant, which I was fan of so that when people were considering going in, they wouldn't see me digging in.

I opened my menu and ask," What do you feel like Claire?" "Maybe the sashimi plate with your honesty."

"Ouch, excuse me?" "Oh come on," she rolled her eyes," We both saw Brady coming our way before you made us dash. There's no question he noticed you, and wanted to talk to you!" I sighed," I'll admit I do wish we left off in a better relation, but that was all him and you know it." "Yesss," She continues," but I also know that boys do stupid things for stupid reasons and just... are stupid. Also I doubt Brady wanted to talk to you because he wanted to brag about his ex-girlfriend." "Well too late to talk to him now." She smiled," Isn't it? Just don't turn around."

Wha? I turn around anyway and right in that moment a cluster of boys walk in and immediately make eye contact with Brady. I snap my head back around and give Claire an 'are fucking kidding me' look. She laughed and said," Better hope they don't sit over here either," she pointed to the tables behind her. Luckily the group sat in a corner opposite us, far, far away.

That was until, some other guy showed up and they had to move, and where? Right fucking behind Claire, so every time I looked up I could see them all.

We ordered our food and I leave to go wash my hands. Upon exiting the bathroom, I bump into a rather tall figure. "Oh I'm so sorry," I say looking up. Oh shit

It's one of the guys on the show, Michael? Yeah. "No, no all on me," he said," But by any chance, is your name Genna?"  "Uh y-y-yeah," I stutter nervously," Um Genevieve. And you um, you performed really well in the show tonight." My palms grew sweaty. "Oh thanks, but there's someone else who'd like to talk to you, and I'm sure you know who. If you just gave him the time of day I'm sure it'll be worth it." He walked back to his seat and I to mine.

"Geez, what took you so long?" Claire nagged. "Just bumped into someone." "Ooh, a cutie? Please tell me it was Brady!" "Actually Michael, and maybe I will talk to Brady."

We ate our dinner when it came out and as Claire was gossiping I couldn't resist taking peeks at Brady, but I know i wasn't the only one. We finished quickly and went out to explore the grove. "You're not gonna talk to him before we leave?" Claire asked. "Actually, I'll just wait out here," I said sitting on a bench by the entrance," You go ahead, I'll join you soon." I barely even sat down before the door slams open startling me.

It was a frantic Brady Tutton looking around "Fuck," he said under his breath," Missed her again." His head hung down and he was about to go back in.

"Missed who?" I asked hopefully. He turned on his heels to face me. "I um uh I-I... you, missed you. Well, not anymore because you're right here, but I did miss you, but like I found you or, I guess you found me.." "Brady!" I exclaim to get him to stop rambling. "You might want to get on with the important stuff." "Oh yeah, oh oops. So um, h-how've you bee-n?" He stuttered sitting next to me.

"Okay," I sigh," How's um, V?" His eyes grew wide," Yeah she um, she actually was cheating on me and I uh... it was just a mess. Did you um, did you ever get my texts? Or my calls?"

I look down," Um I kinda might have blocked your contact." I meet his eyes embarrassed.

He smiled," Should've known... I made a dick move for sure. Although I definitely got my share of karma from Vanessa after that. And I... I'm really sorry for that, you never deserved that and I hate that I was the person to make you feel that way especially when I promised I would protect you from well, myself I guess." He shamefully meets my gaze. "If anything, I'd say we learned from this at the least," I smiled rubbing his hand with my thumb. "So, How was the show?" "I loved it. It was really hard to not hear your voice for almost two years." "Well if you ever unblock me, there's a ton of embarrassing voicemails to listen to."

"Of course, in fact..." I went to settings and unblocked 'Traitor' and he laughed, "Wow, you're not wrong." "Hmmm, only problem is what should I change it to..." I teased.

"Bradilla? Brady the brainy? Just another brade of grass? " I said laughing. "Wow I hate myself for that." He smiled taking my phone. "Hey now, you definitely have your own phone," I said trying to take it back. He sticks his arm away from me causing me to try and reach over him.

I catch his eyes and just stop, and smile. His eyes flicker to my lips and we lean in when- "Whoa, that was fast." We turn to see Chance causing us to blush furiously. For him, it must look like I was straddling Brady and we were in the middle of a heavy makeout session. "This is not what it looks like," Brady stated. And of course, the rest of the buys came out of the restaurant. There were a lot of 'okaaaay's, 'damn Tutton's shared. "Well, it looks like you work fast that's for sure." "Nnnnno, not at all." He claimed, I stood up and brushed myself off before introducing myself. "Anyway, I'm Genna, or Gen or G. Genevieve is cool too." "Trust me we know who you are," Drew smiled. "And we're glad everything worked out for our boy, so we're just gonna leave you to it," Sergio said winking.

"Wouldn't have happened if you just gave me my phone." I smiled looking at the still blushing boy as he stands up.

A/n: OOOOH OKAY. So, I kept this mild since I had a lot of drama in the past. I just didn't want to put too much. THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK IT MAKES MY DAY. Seeing my phone blow up makes me happy af.also... CAN WE JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT IRL HOOKED US UP W A SNEAK PEEK BEEN IN MY HEAD ALL DAY
