Apprentice (Bradley Simpson Fanfic)

seven

A week has passed now, the boys haven’t been back to the office, they’re off preparing for the tour they leave for in just 3 weeks. Brad has barely spoken to me, the boy says he enjoys speaking to me and yet here we are a week later and I’ve barely heard 10 words from him. To be honest though, I’m not quite sure he understands how to use twitter yet.

Shay and Charlie keep me updated about their conversations with James and Con, they speak regularly, and as happy as I am for them I can’t help but feel envious of what they’re having with the boys. So far Charlie has been out for a coffee with James, she said it went great and they really get along, and Shay is preparing to go out to dinner with Connor this Friday. Everyone’s love life is beginning to take off and I don’t even know if Brad remembers my freaking name since we haven’t spoken in a week.

‘Con thinks that we need to find someone interesting for Tristan, apparently he’s lonely.’ Shay says whilst strolling around my room.

‘Yeah, I’m sure being in a famous band with hundreds of girls throwing themselves at you means you’re ‘lonely’’ My response is probably a bit sharp, but it’s true, Brad probably hasn’t spoke to me because a better offer came along, I’m only an apprentice? I’m not a model or singer or anything.

‘Well, I have this friend he might like, we do covers together sometimes on my YouTube channel, she’s really talented.’ Charlie says, we stare at her waiting for her to carry on.

‘Her names Angie, she’s our age, I met her at dancing and then found out that she can sing aswell, so we started making covers. She’s got really long dark hair, really pretty. Tristan would like her.’

‘Sorted then, lets arrange a meeting?’ I say casually.

‘I’m meeting her this weekend actually, because we need to film again. Maybe I could get Con to bring the boys round for lunch or something?’ Shay suggests, she would have already seen Connor the night before aswell on their date so she can make sure everything is in place for the introduction. It would also mean I would have to come face to face with Brad again after over a week of zero contact.

‘I’ll text Ange and let her know what’s happening, we’ve done loads of Vamps covers, she’ll know who he is.’ Charlie walks off on her phone, this could go one of two ways, Brad could be fine with me and act like we’ve been speaking everyday, or it could be awkward as hell. Safe to say that I’m nervous.

Work continues for the day, boring as usual, until I am walking down a corridor carrying some files when I hear a very familiar voice coming from one of the meeting rooms. It’s awful of my but I have to stop and listen just for a second, his voice gives me butterflies, they’re talking about help going with them on the tour. Michael says that he might send an apprentice or two with the boys to America, and I’ve heard enough. There are 12 apprentices, I NEED to be one going with them, this is my chance to finally get to know Brad.

As I swiftly move down the corridor I hear them all exit the room; instead of turning around I continue walking and pretend they aren’t there. I’m just going to wait until the weekend. If he wants to play the no talking game, I will aswell. Game on Simpson.

Over the last few days when Michael gives me jobs I just put my headphones in and get to work, I play Ed Sheerans album on repeat and pretend I’m not there. As I am doing that exact technique today I see the boys coming through the door to reception, I turn my back towards them and pause my music, keeping my headphones in though. I can hear Brad saying my name, he says it several times before realising I have headphones in. He wanted my attention, the thought causes me to smile, properly for the first time in days. He actually wanted me to notice him. He started this game, I’m not letting him decide when I’m good enough to talk to, not this time.

Filler my apologies, but date chapter next and some different point of views and that so yeah.
