Reckless

Chapter 12

Brad and I ended up at a cafe after we've been walking round the city for an hour. He went to  buy us coffe, and I could see him walking towards me with the cups. But not only two cups. He had a plate with two chocolate chip cookies on and I instantly smiled.

''Ehm...I didn't know what you like...but I thought that you like choclate...and yeah...but If you don't like it I can just go to change if you ehm.. want..'' He sturred. That was one of the cutes things I've ever seen. He looked so cute with his black beanie and his chin reds because of the cold wind outside.

''No, I love chocolate. Thanks'' I said with a smile on my face that I found myself always wear around Brad. 

We sat there and talked for a while, just enjoying each others company. It was easy to talk to Brad. He listened and seemed interested in what I had to say, even if it was in what favorite candy flover I had, about my life in Liverpool, about my friends, what  I was doing tomorrow and just simple things like that.

And then it was that little thing about Brad. I just keeped trying to get under his hard shell he wore. He was just so trapped in hiself. It was like he has walls around him. Everytime he told me something about him, it was like my heart raised from happiness and every little thing he told me about his life made me more and more interested in him. In Bradley Will Simpson.

''Brad?'' I said.

''Yes sweetheart?'' For a moment there, I forgot what I had to say. His namecalling made my heart melt.

''How are you?'' I asked him slowly. We had eye contact for a while in silent.

''I...it's complicated'' He said and took his both hands around the coffe mug and moved his gaze to it.

''You wanna tell me?''

''There's nothing really to say. It's just..complicated.'' He looked so small, sitting there with his cup and his blank stare. I  wished I could read his mind in that moment.

''Is it your family?'' I just had a feeling that his family had a little to do with this. He never talked about them. I didn't even think he'd bring them up for me.

''Yes...kind of..'' I staid quiet and waited to let him continue. ''But I don't wanna talk about it now.''

Not really what I hoped...but it I didn't want to push him to hard, afraid that he would shut me out more. He said ''now'' and maybe he would talk about it some other time with me? I hoped so.

I took his left hand in my right one over the table and held it. It was warm and soft and I could feel his fingers move and interleaved with mine. It felt so good to just sit there with him.  I didn't know what I expected him to tell me when I asked, but atleast he didn't asked me to shut up. He told me it was his family. That's always something, right?

''Do you want to eat dinner with us today?'' I asked Brad while we walked home to my house and it was 6:30 pm. I knew my mum was cooking right now cause' we always ate at 7. My mum really liked Brad the first time she met him so I didn't think that would be any problem for her.

''Um...are you sure that's okay for your mum?'' Brad asked.

''Yeah, she  really likes you!'' That made Brad smile.

''How about you then?''

''What?'' I asked him, slightly conffused.

''Do you like me, or is it just your mother?''  A blush crept on my face, even tho I didn't really know why. I didn't wanna talk about this.

''So what do you say, wanna join is for dinner or not?'' I ignored his question.

''Sure'' He laughed at me, probably for the thing with me ignoring it.

''Sooo  Brad, are you in the same school as  Olivia?'' My mum asked him while we had panncakes for dinner. It was actually my one top favorite food.

''Yeah I am!'' He told my mum, happily. My mum and Brad have talked alot during the dinner. I was actually suprised that my mum was so posetive with him. Normally she would just 'Ehm no Olivia, there is no way you can have a boy over that is one year older and when you really don't know him'.

''Oh I see. But you're on year older than her, right? I think Olivia told me that'' Brad smiled at her, and then looked at me. His brown eyes looked so happy and I couldn't stop smiling myself. Here Brad sat, having dinner with my mum. I wouldn't really have believed that the first time in PE when we had our first class together.

''Yes, that's right Mrs. Roach''

''Oh, please call me Anne'' She said. ''Olivia talks alot about you'' She continued. What the fuck mum, what are you doing?  This was soooo embarrassing for god sake, I haven't even talked about him that much and she just wanted to make this awkward for me. I didn't really know Brad either, so this would just make things worse  between us!!

''Oh, I see...''Brad said with a smirk on his face, his eyes laid on me. This really was awkward...

''No I'm  just joking with you too guys..'' She said. Oh well, great job mum cause' he really believed her. ''It's kind of late Brad, do you want to sleep over? I think we got an extra mattress somewhere and you can just have it on the floor in the living room or in Olivias room or something''

''Oh, that's really nice. Thank you. ''

''No problems at all, you're more than welcome here'' My mum probably wanted to make it up for me a little bit after making me embarrassed, and it seemed like she woke up at the right side of the bed.

''The panncakes were really great...Anne.'' Brad praised her with a great smile.

''Thank you Brad, I'm glad you liked them. This is actually Olivias favorite food''

My mum and Brad talked for a while, while I just remained quite. It made me happy that the two of them  got along. My mum was not a judgemental person, but I believed people could take Brad relly wrong sometimes.After a while I asked Brad if he was finished so we could head up upstairs. So we took our plates to the kitchen and walked to my room upstairs, with the mattress with us.

''So you talk a lot about me, huh?'' Was the first thing Brad said to  me with a grinon his face when we entraced my room. I knew this was coming.

''No. She was just...lying'' I tried.

''Hm...I don't think so'' He laughed. His laugh was so beuatiful. His white teeth shone when he did, and his eyes got a little bit brighter and his lips looked so soft and....Olivia no. What are you doing?

''Do you wanna sleep immediately or do something else?'' I asked him, trying to avoid the subject, which made im laugh.

''Why don't we watch a movie? He suggested. So we both sat down at my bed with a movie on the TV. We sat on my duvet, our shoulders touching and a little bit of our legs to. I could feel his warmth against my body. Suddenly his hand was on my thigh and my gaze moved away from the movie to it. At first I got a little bit nervous, but then I thougt 'what the hell', and put my left hand over his in my thigh. Brad intertwined our fingers and I turned my head to look at him, just to realise that he was already stearing. It was the first time I actually felt the contact in eye-contact. His brown eyes met with mine and it was like something was holding our stares together. He smiled and we both continued watching the movie.
