Out Of My League (NOT COMPLETED)

Chapter 56: don't tell me you don't want me...

We arrived at Starbucks and all sat around a circular table at the other end of the room, James did decide to come in the end and somehow he has been holding Rachel's hand the whole walk here. "Who's sitting where?" Connor asked as Brad stood behind me and rested his chin on the top of my head. Everyone slowly picked a seat and Brad made sure he was sat next to me and James was nowhere near me, I know what James has done isn't right but I still think Brad is over reacting a little. "Shall I go and order?" Tristan asked as he stood behind his seat. "I will come too?" Brad asked. "Yeah sure, what does everyone want?" Tristan commented as everyone said their orders one by one. "Hayley?" Brad asked. "Surprise me." I replied and he smiled before walking off with Tristan, this left me, Connor, James and Rachel at the table. "So... How's uni treating you Rachel?" Connor asked to try and break the awkwardness. "It's actually going really well, I mean it's stressful but that's uni for you." Rachel replied and I saw James look at her before smiling. "Yeah, I'm glad it's going ok." Connor commented and she nodded. "We need another day out together soon Hayley." Rachel explained. "Yeah we do! We haven't been out in a while." I replied as I placed my phone in my bag, I saw James place his hand on Rachel's leg under the table and a wave of sadness hit me, I'm happy for them but right now I don't trust James. I don't want him to hurt her because she means a lot to me.

"Drinks!" Tristan announced after a few minutes of awkward conversation, Brad placed a few cups on the table and smiled. "Thanks." I commented as Brad placed my cup in front of me. "What did you get me?" I asked as I stirred the liquid with a spoon, he sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Just a hot chocolate, it's nearly winter and it's cold so I thought that would warm you up." Brad explained and I nodded. "Thank you." I replied and he winked at me before I blushed. "So boys, music! How's the YouTube account doing?" Tristan asked as Connor got his phone out to check. "I hope it's doing well, I really think we could be on to something here." Connor replied as we all waited for him to load up YouTube. "Ok so the last time we checked out last cover it was at 100 views, it is now at 500..." Connor explained and a massive smile spread over the boys faces. "Well done boys!" Rachel cheered as she kissed James on the cheek, I furrowed my eyebrows at them both, I am so confused about their relationship. "Our most recent video is on 700 views." Connor announced and I smiled at Brad. "That's amazing! We need to upload another cover." Tristan commented and the boys all nodded, James sat awkwardly not really knowing what to say. "James?" Rachel mentioned and we all looked at him. "What?" He asked. "I think you have some explaining to do." Connor continued so Rachel didn't have to, he looked down at his tea and sighed before looking at everyone.

"I'm sorry I acted the way I did, I was jealous." James explained and Brad gave him a confused look that slowly turned into an angry expression, I held his hand under the table and he squeezed it in return. "Jealous?" Tristan asked. "Yeah, I saw Rachel with some boy in her dance class. She seemed to be very good friends with him and I got a bit jealous so to control my feelings I stupidly took everything out on Brad, I made him believe that Hayley liked me and not him so Brad could feel the same way that I do towards Rachel, I thought she liked the other boy in her dance class and not me. But I have spoken to Rachel about things and she has explained to me that he is just her dance partner and nothing more which has made me happier about the whole situation, I guess I just saw how happy Brad and Hayley are and I became jealous so I took it out on them. I'm so sorry Brad, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings and I didn't mean to make this difficult for Hayley. I'm sorry." James explained, Brad looked at me and then back over to James. It's hard to tell how he is feeling about that explanation through his facial expression.

"Can you forgive me?" James asked. "Not straight away no, you have made and Hayley feel like rubbish for weeks and you expect us to just be ok with you?" Brad asked. "Brad..." I said through gritted teeth. "No Hayley, I'm not putting up with this." Brad explained and I placed my head in my hands before sighing. "Brad I'm sorry..." James explained again. "You're gonna have to earn back my friendship I'm afraid." Brad said while shaking his head, I looked at Rachel and she gave me an apologetic expression in return before I looked over at James, he gave me a sympathetic smile and I looked down at the table. "So you don't have a crush on Hayley?" Tristan asked. "No, she's a good friend. Don't get me wrong you're pretty and you're a nice girl but I like Rachel." James explained, Brad's fists tensed up under the table at James's word choice and I once again held his hand to stop him. "Brad..." I mumbled and he looked at me. "Calm down, he's apologising." I explained and he sighed.

"Anyway, back to music..." Connor suggested and we all looked at him. "What song should we cover next?" He asked. "How about an Ed Sheeran song?" Tristan asked. "I can't sing as well as him." Brad explained. "Yeah you can." I replied and he shook his head. "He is one of the best singers around, I am nowhere near as good as him." Brad commented. "To me you are, sing one of his songs? I like Ed Sheeran." I explained and he sighed. "We could do Thinking Out Loud." Connor suggested. "Or Photograph." Tristan suggested. "Yeah, Photograph!" Rachel shouted and the boys nodded. "Looks like that's the song then." Connor commented. "We could do it tomorrow? After our lesson?" Brad asked and the boys agreed. I took a sip of my hot chocolate and I felt Brad's hand rest on my thigh, I looked at him and he continued talking to Tristan like nothing was happening. His hand slowly started to move up my thigh and I quickly grabbed it under the table which awarded me with a few weird looks from Connor and Rachel, I awkwardly smiled at them as Brad had a little giggle to himself. "What are you playing at?" I mumbled with a stern look on my face. "Even when you're angry you're still cute..." Brad mumbled and winked at me, I blushed in response and he held my hand under the table instead of resting it on my thigh. "I'm excited for later..." Brad whispered and I looked at him, he smiled and kissed my cheek. "Will you two stop flirting." Tristan commented and we both looked at him, I totally forgot that we are in the middle of Starbucks. "Sorry..." I mumbled and awkwardly stirred my drink.

After another 2 hours of sitting and talking about music we eventually decided to head back to our dorms, Brad seemed to be in a rush to get back to my dorm and Rachel seemed in a rush to get James back to his dorm. "We are gonna go into a practice room to record some songs, anyone wanna come?" Tristan asked, Brad and James both shook their heads and then Connor looked at me. "You coming?" He asked, I looked at Brad who had a pleading look on his face which made me giggle. "No thank you, I need to go back and finish writing my song before I can record it." I explained, Connor and Tristan nodded before they walked off and I turned around to see Rachel and James had already disappeared. "Please can we go back now?" Brad whined and I rolled my eyes. "What's the hurry?" I asked with a smirk on my face. "I wanna pick up where we left off earlier..." Brad mumbled so nobody else around us could hear. "What if I don't?" I asked in a sarcastic tone. "Don't tell me you don't want me... I know it's a lie." Brad said as he held my hand and pulled me up the stairs. "Brad!" I said mid laugh and he smiled at me, we eventually reached my dorm and he leant up against the wall. "Open the door." Brad commanded and I crossed my arms. "What if I don't want you to come in?" I asked with a cocky tone and he pulled the famous puppy dog eyes that I can never resist. "Fine!" I finally gave in and opened the door, he quickly closed the door behind him as I placed my bag on the floor and took my shoes off, he took his shoes off and then rushed me over to my bed. "Bradley woah... Calm down." I said as he laid down next to me, he placed a delicate kiss to my lips and in return I snaked my hands around his waist. He pulled me on top of him so the kiss became more comfortable as I moved one of my hands up to his hair and the other one sat on the belt of his trousers.

"Take them off?" He mumbled as I fiddled with the belt buckle, I made the process slow and I could tell he was becoming impatient as his kisses were become more forceful. "Hayley baby, take them off..." He mumbled in the kiss, I removed his belt and he pulled his trousers down before throwing them on the floor. "Messing my room up again..." I said between a kiss and he rolled his eyes. "Be quite and let me kiss you..." Brad replied as he rested his hands on my stomach under my top, he traced his thumb along my skin which helped me to relax and my legs wrapped around his waist, my hands tugged on his brown curls a little which caused a loud groan to escape through his lips, I giggled at the reaction and he opened his eyes. "What?" He mumbled as he pulled away. "You're so hot..." I replied and attached our lips once more, he smiled at the comment as he started to pull my trousers down slowly, I helped him out and threw them on top of his so they were in a heap on the floor. "I liked them jeans, but they look much better on the floor..." Brad said between multiple forceful kisses and I smiled as his hands sat low on my waist. "You're perfect..." I mumbled as my hands traveled under his top and started tracing patterns on his chest, he hummed in approval and his tongue slowly slid along my bottom lip, this caused my mouth to open and I allowed him entry. I felt my body slowly slipping down his until our waists were at the same level and I felt his underwear through mine, he groaned at the contact as his hands rested on the arch of my back and my hands tugged on his hair once more. "Hayley..." He mumbled. "Hmmm." I sighed as I pulled away just enough so our heads were still touching.
