Brianne's house is the cutest thing I have ever seen. It's a little modern house with a huge oak in front with a tire swing. She takes me inside, yelling "I'm home!" and taking of her shoes. I take off mine as-well, following her into her kitchen. Her house decorated in metal objects and wood. The style is gorgeous.
She pulls out some Mint Oreos and a family size of Lays and then tells me to grab two Fanta's from the fridge. We head up the stairs, and Brianne stops at the first door on the left, peaking her head in. "Hey, Liam, I brought a guest! Is mom home?" Brianne asks him and I peak my head over, looking into the cleanest guy room I have ever seen. Liam is basically the opposite of Brianne. He has the same light skin and freckles, but then he has dark brown hair and piercing mint eyes. Plus he's huge. Like, HUGE. He might be all muscle. He smirks at me, the same smirk that Brianne always gives, and I glance away blushing. "Hey" I try to say smoothly. His cologne seems to fill the entire area, it's .. mm.
He has a funny laugh. It's light and airy. "Hello" he answers, "yeah moms in the basement but she's leaving in a few hours". Where's she going? I wonder. Maybe her parents are like mine, always away on work.. "my moms a flight attendant so she has some weird hours sometimes" Brianne answers my question, "and my dad is currently in Australia for work".
I smile at her, so kind of the same. "Hey, a few of my friends are coming over tonight" Liam tells her and she gives a slight nod. "We'll get snacks" she smiles, almost like giving a secret code. I've always wanted a brother. The closest thing I've ever had is Jarod. But he's too.. I don't know.. he's just not what I'd expect from a real brother. He's too close, too personal and too caring.
Brianne pulls me over to another room, and I walk in with my jaw dropped. Some say that you can learn a whole lot from where a person sleeps. Well, I've just learned a lot. She's got an aesthetically pleasing room with Cacti, Llamas and soft colors. Her bed is huge and she has an entire wall dedicated to pictures. It's everything I've tried to make my room into. She's got a desk and a huge fluffy bean bag in front of a TV with an Xbox. I suddenly feel like my room is terrible.
"You like?" She asks almost scaredly. I almost scream. "Yes!!!" I yell. I jump onto her bed, my body sinking in all the right ways and comforting me. "Wow." I say. She laughs, "this has taken me a good 5 years" she tells me and I nod, "it's amazing. Absolutely perfect" I tell her, smiling. She goes into her closet, and then she comes out with a HUGE stack of clothes. She drops them on the floor, picking up an outfit. Then she throws it to me. "Try it on" she says simply, changing herself into a different outfit.
We spend the next hour or two changing outfits and taking pictures in front of one of her walls thats perfect for pics. She promises to email my all of the pictures we take.
"Alright, last one, I think this one is it!" She says enthusiastically. I stuff another potato chip in my mouth and begin stripping. She hands me an outfit, a black crop top, white shorts and a black cardigan. She places a flower crown on my head and then puts on an outfit that's the exact same but opposite as mine. (Pic above). I see her smiling wide. "Yes!" She exclaims.
I take a look at us both in her body mirror and I can't help but grin. We look good. Like, really good. We put on some flat converse that match each of us having one white and one black, then we decide it's time for dinner. I glance at Liam again when we pass by, Brianne did my makeup so I know I'm looking really good, with on point highlighter and eyeliner. She even stuck some fake lashes on me. My eyes are popping. Liam's eyes follow after me, and I can't help but grin. Yessss.
We jump into my car and I let Brianne drive. That's how much trust I have in her right now. I'm letting her drive my baby. I blare some Blink 182 because why the hell not, and I take selfies of Brianne and I whilst she drives. We both have on sunglasses, and seriously, we just look so good. If we went to a bar right now, all the guys would be on us.
We arrive at the restaurant and I smile as I catch a whiff of burgers on the air. We head inside the burger joint, one I've never heard of and will never remember the name to. Were seated at a cute booth, sitting next to each other.
I order Bargs RootBeer right off the top, my addiction carrying on. Brianne gets sprite. We order some chili fries while we wait, holding the cheese because Brianne doesn't wanna risk a rough night.
"Okay, so where are your younger brothers?" I ask Brianne, who taps her finger gently on the table, her French tips matching mine perfectly. Apparently she's a wannabe beautician. She starts playing with the straw on her drink.
"They're in Australia with my Dad" She says, "from what dad tells me, it was a LOT of work to get them there, but they really wanted to go and my dads a sucker for us kids". I nod, "yeah, my dad is like that too."
I order a Bleu Cheese burger and Brianne orders a Mushroom and Swiss one. I take one bite and decide it's the best burger I've had in my entire life. No exaggeration. It's amazing. My eyes tear up and Brianne laughs at me. "Wow, you really do love burgers. This is my favorite place to go when I'm craving them."
I take another satisfying bite and restart our conversation. "If you could go anywhere, where would you go?" I ask her, stuffing a fry in my mouth. "Probably France or Iceland" she says. I raise an eyebrow, I've never heard anyone say Iceland before. "You?" She reflects. I think about it for a second. "Probably France or New Zealand" I answer, earning an enthusiastic nod from her.
We continue to chat, learning more about each other as we eat, until finally we're done. I steal the check, paying for it as thanks for the fun night she took me on. She fought me to pay, but I won.
"Alright, let's go I'm stuffed" she says, heading back to the car with me. She makes me drive to Walmart, and we pick up a bunch of snacks like; Chips, popcorn, sodas, cookies, brownies, candies, and more. Probably for Liam's friends.
She pays and then we finally get to drive home. Well, to her home. It's about 7pm and I'm starting to feel tired. What I don't expect is what came next..
🧡🧡🧡
Should I add Liam into the story as one of the 'guys'?
