Apprentice (Bradley Simpson Fanfic)

twenty six

Brad’s POV

I was probably wrong to freak out at Bella like that, and walking out the café was stupid because now she’s even more annoyed. She’s right, I did disappear with Olivia, she asked me to go and get a drink with her and I said yes. I don’t know why. She’s nice, she’s pretty. I like her, I get along with her, I promised Bella we’d spend time together whilst she’s here and so far we’ve had sex and fallen out again. 

After she walks away Olivia stays with me and comforts me, I rest my head between my hands and she rubs my back resting her head against me. When I sit and think about what she’s doing I realise how it appears to Bella, I move away from Olivia and she looks at me confused.

‘Olivia, I’m sorry, but I need to just have some space. I think we’ve been spending a bit too much time together recently.’ She looks hurts.

‘Brad, friends are allowed to spend time together; Bella’s just going to have to accept that. You can’t let her tell you what to do.’

‘This is nothing to do with Bella, this is my decision.’ I stand up and walk away from the bench, back to the hotel when Bella probably is. I get to outside her door, about to knock before I stop and remember that she specifically asked me to leave her alone for a few hours. It’s hard but giving her space will be the best thing right now, otherwise it’ll cause an even bigger argument. I just want to give her a hug and make everything better, that kid hadn’t done anything wrong, they were speaking about me. About how happy she is with me, and now look.

I love her so much, why do we argue constantly? I didn’t think it would be like this when I found someone who I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. I guess that’s just what our relationship is. I don’t want to lose her, and I know she feels the same, but the fighting needs to stop because it is going to destroy the relationship. Olivia also needs to stop because it’s causing such issues. I slump down onto the bed and run my hands through my hair, exhaling heavily.

The boys have invited me out to dinner, but I’d rather just be alone, I want to see her and tell her it’ll be okay and that I was an idiot. I pick up my guitar and begin to write, about her, about how I’m feeling; this situation. Everything comes out. I’m an emotional wreck and I don’t know why, we’re still together, we haven’t broken up. I thought her coming out here would solve everything but it seems to be making things worse. I’m going to have a bath and relax.

Olivia POV

I’m not going to let her keep him, I want him. I’m much better suited to him, I’m the type of person someone famous like him should be dating. I’m the one who was there for him when she couldn’t be and I deserve some thanks for that. All they do is argue and I’m going to keep it that way until I win him over. The stupid little girl doesn’t deserve him.

After he walked away from me I headed back to my room. I’m changing my outfit to something more fitted showing off the figure she would die to have, I let my blonde hair fall naturally down my back to just below my waist. I apply some new makeup and head out the door directly to his room.

Before I get too far my phone begins to ring, my friend Katie is phoning, she’s in on the plan and is probably checking in on how everything is going so far.

‘Hello?’ I whisper, heading down another corridor in case someone hears me.

‘How’s it going?’

‘Well, they’ve fallen out again today, and they’re still not talking. I’m heading to his room now.’

‘Good, imagine how much exposure you’ll get if you start dating Brad Simpson from The Vamps, you’ll get famous Olivia!’ She says excitedly.

‘I know Kate, can you believe this I’m in America and I’m going to be the one to break up the stupid apprentice and Brad. It better go to plan or I’m going to be seriously pissed with her.’

‘It’ll work don’t worry, you’re ten times what she is.’

‘I know, she doesn’t deserve him, by the time she leaves he’ll be mine anyway.’

‘Good luck babe, see you soon.’

‘Thanks Katie, I’ll let you know how it goes.’

I hang up and continue my path to Brad’s room.

I tap on the door and wait for him to answer. When the door eventually swings open it reveals Brad stood shirtless with just a towel around his bottom half, I smirk at the sight. When he realises it’s me he quickly dashes to the bathroom to put something on, he comes out in an oversized jumper and pyjama bottoms. He sits on the couch, whilst I sit on the bed.

‘What’s up Olivia?’

‘Nothing, I just wanted to check you were okay.’ I say acting concerned, when I’m really not that bothered; I move over to the couch and sit next to him.

‘Yeah, I’m fine thanks.’

‘Why aren’t you coming to dinner with us tonight?’ I say shuffling closer to him.

‘I’m just a bit tired, not really up for it tonight sorry.’

‘You don’t have to apologise to me, I’m just checking you’re okay.’ I stand up and begin to walk towards the door.

‘Am I not getting a goodbye?’ He stands up and makes his way towards me; I open my arms giving him no other choice but to give me a hug. He tried to pull away, but I need more time. I begin to fake cry, he places his hand on my back.

‘What’s wrong?’

‘I’m just really missing home you know.’ He walks me over to where we were previously sitting, rubbing my back to calm me down. I don’t give a shit about home, I’d rather be here, but I want to sit with him for longer.

‘We have to do this all the time, imagine how we feel.’ He chuckles trying to lighten the mood. I throw my hands around his neck and rest my head against his, I feel him flinch slightly at my sudden action but eventually he snakes his arms around my back and hugs me back.

‘Thankyou for being so nice to me Brad, you’re the only one who even notices my existence on this trip.’

‘That’s what friends are for.’ He says smiling at me.

‘Friends, yeah…’

‘What?’

‘Brad, you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think there’s something more here, I know you love being around me, you think I’m attractive. You don’t completely love Bella and I know it. You want me, and I want you too, so why don’t we just do it?’ I stand up and straddle his lap on the couch, running my fingers through his hair. I’m about to kiss him when he moves his head out of the way and stands up, knocking me onto the floor.

‘Olivia, I love Bella more than anything in the world, you’re a pretty girl but I don’t see you like that I’m sorry if you thought I did. I’ve been friendly to you I haven’t led you on. I don’t know where you got that idea from but I’m sorry no. I think you should leave.’ I stand up and storm out of the room. 

He doesn’t see me like that. Lets see how long that lasts.
