Fake Love • Nick Mara Fan Fiction • Completed

32 | Reunited

"I'm so bored" Austin layed on his back flipping a pillow in his hands. The rest of guys also on the couch bored. It was great having a week off but what were they supposed to do now.

"We should do something" Edwin said.

"Like what?" Brandon sat up his attention grabbed.

"Well..maybe go to the beach? I mean it is summer time" Edwin looked at the others wanting answers.

"Nah, I hate the sand" Zion said twisting his dread. It was a mess, he needed it retwisted but his appointment wasn't until Thursday.

"Then where?"

Zion shrugged pulling out his phone.

"Party?" Austin suggested raising both his eyebrows.

"I mean.." Edwin sighed, "why not".

"Fuck yeah" Zion said getting up immediately.

"Brandon! Lets go your driving buddy" He patted on Brandon's back. They all got up pumped except Brandon, he stood up lazily slowly walking over to the door while the guys were already entering the car.

"Hurry up!!" Zion whined.

Brandon rolled his eyes but obliged sprinting over to the car. In minutes thy made it to target. Edwin and Austin got carts and raced to the chips aisle.

Brandon and Zion on the other hand were busy grabbing cups, the infamous red cups. They grabbed baskets instead of carts since they didn't need too many knowing they had enough at home.

"You're paying" Brandon said while he set down the packs of cups he carried.

"What? You said you were gonna pay" Zion knotted his eyebrows.

"Nope...I drove here and put up with you buttcheeks every single time you guys wanna go out, your paying" Brandon repeated.

"Buttcheek" Zion mocked but took out his wallet stating that Brandon had won the argument.

"You two are so immature, seriously?? Buttcheek?? Out of all words" Edwin came up from behind them.

"Where's Nick? Wasn't he supposed to come back from his little vacation with Melina yesterday?" Austin looked at the time and date on his phone.

"They decided to go out tonight" Brandon rolled his eyes looking away from the group.

"I'll call them so they can stop by later" Edwin pulled out his phone and walking away from the check in line. He headed out the exit of the Target.

He partially wanted to make this call because he missed both Melina and Nicks company but also because he didn't want to pay for all that stuff.

"Hello?" Nick answered a bit annoyed.

"Did I interrupt anything?"

"Nah your good" It was obvious Edwin had, "what do you want Edwin?".

"It's Edwin- Hi Edwin!" Melina called out.

Nick put him on speaker so Melina could hear as well, "Yo so we're have a party tonight, you guys should come by later".

Melina smiled I'm excitement, "Yes! We'll be there!".

She stood up off the ground and picked up the basket of food they had brought. They finish a couple minutes ago so it was the perfect timing.

"Alright I'll see you guys there" Edwin hung up and was tempted to walk back inside but instead stayed outside, again he didn't want to pay for anything.

He sat down on one of the benches outside the store. His hands were in his pockets while he looked out towards the parking lot. A girl was walking out of her car. Immediately she caught Edwin's eye. He got closer to her and saw it was Charlotte.

"Hey, Hey uh Charlotte" He stood up walking towards her.

She was confused at first what he was doing at Target but she hugged him.

"It's been so long" He pulled away and stood in front of her.

"Yeah, how you been?"

"I'm good, the boys and I recently came back from tour" Edwin nodded.

"Yeah I heard about that, you guys are growing fast..I'm proud" She smiled revealing her dimples.

"Yeah-""lets go dude" Brandon patted Edwin's shoulder before facing Charlotte. He was stunned.

Edwin knew what he had done, after months of them not even texting eachother he had reunited them unintentionally. Brandon was frozen looking at Charlotte, she looked the same..her hair a different color but that's it.

"Hi Brandon" She smiled at him.

"Hi" He simply said.

"Let's gooooo!!" Zion rolled past them in the cart.

"Oh, we're having a party tonight" Edwin said, "you should stop by".

"I- uh I'm not sure" She shook her head, she knew Brandon wouldn't want to talk to her, she was surprised he was even facing her.

"No she should come, right Brandon?" Edwin nudged Brandon who still seemed to be stunned.

"Yeah, if you want, I mean you don't have to if you don't want to but you're free to come if you'd like, maybe you could even invite the rest of the girls- or you could come alone that's fine, maybe like come in a couple hours or so, or early..if you come early that's fine to maybe-" Brandon was rambling, this is what happens to him whenever he's nervous.

"Just come by at 10" Edwin smiled at her, "it was nice seeing you again, bye!".

Edwin pushed Brandon towards the car while Charlotte walked into the Target.

"What the hell was that?!" Brandon pushed Edwin's hands off of his shoulders.

"I'm helping you, I don't wanna see you get beat up by Nick" Edwin said causing Brandon to stop.

"Jesus how many people know?" He asked.

"It's pretty obvious your into her, I'm surprised Nick hasn't found out yet" Edwin shrugged then jogged over to the rest of the guys helping with the bags.

Again Brandon was stunned, he didn't think it was that obvious.
