He stood there with a little smirk on his face

" hi I'm connor, you can call me con"

He held out his hand as I shook it.

" hey I'm chloe but my friends call me chlo. Do you wanna come in?"

" so madam what seems to be the problem? " he put on a posh, sophisticated voice making me laugh.

" I don't know I was just waiting on the kettle to boil and then the electricity went off" I said as I walked him into the kitchen.

" can I check the electricity box?" I nodded.

He was cute. However it was awkward because the only part I was looking at of him was his backside as he leaned into the small cupboard. He was average guy height and looked around my age. I snapped into a daydream of how if we were hugging it would be the perfect hug. That sounds weird but i always think about that when it comes to guys. The lights turned back on as well as the kettle and my music which made us both jump as it was up full blast.

"Wow! Loud or what!"

"Sorry" I blushed.

" do you want to say for a cup of tea or something? I'm sure brad and Liv will be back soon" I said as I checked my phone.

"Sure. So how are you liking Birmingham? It's a pretty cool place eh?" He said as he joined me in the kitchen as I made the tea.

" yeah it is awesome. It is a little confusing but I'm sure I will make my way around it. Liv is already shagging guys already!" He laughed

We both went to grab two tea bags from the little box and our hands brushed each other's. He looked up as I gave him an awkward smile and removed my hand.

" nah she has got a good guy there. Brad is a decent guy and the fact he has found someone who doesn't like him for the fame is even better" we both sat facing each other on the couch. I sat legs crossed and he had his knees up to his chest.

" fame?" I took a sip of my tea as it burnt my lip. Ouch.

" Well yeah the band?" I gave him another look of confusion.

"Hold on? You don't know about the band. Jesus. I thought brad would of thought to mention it to liv..."

* Liv's POV*

" oh shut up ok. It isn't funny" I closed my eyes as we were sat at the top of the Ferris wheel. I hate heights. Always have. I just didn't want to be rude and say no.

" I swear to god brad stop swinging it. We are going to fall! BRAD!" I bury my head into his shoulder as he puts his arm around me. I felt a little at ease. He rested his two fingers under my chin and lifted my head up.

" I've got you. Scaredy cat" he took hold of my hand with his free hand and I smile up at him as he kisses my forehead before resting my head back onto his shoulder. We sat in silence the rest of the way around the Ferris wheel. Not an awkward silence a silence where we just wanted to remember the moment.

" well that was terrifying. But thank you brad" he helped me off giving me a hand. I expected him to let go however he continued to hold it.

" so where are you going to take me on my wild and fabulous adventure around Birmingham. Where can I encounter more Brummie accents ?" I say making him smile. Aww god I love that smile. I really like him but I'm not falling head over heels since what happened before.

" how about I take you to my favourite place in the world?"

" brad, you are not getting me into bed it's only our first date!" He laughs as do I. I just act sarcastic whenever I feel awkward. That's my thing I guess just like brads I have noticed he is nervous when he runs his hands through his hair.
