Stop Counting Numbers

9.

After getting ready, I took my phone out and ran downstairs, where Brad was waiting.

"I'm done." I said and ge looked up then smiled and nodded.

"Why are you wearing a dress by the way?" He chuckled.

"Well, first impressions matter." I said and he smiled.

"And you're wearing your vans, and your hair is done in a messy bun."

"Uhmmm." I said and he chuckled.

"Just focus on the road Bradley." I groaned and he chuckled again.

"Yes Leanna." He smirked making me roll my eyes.

...
"We're here!" Brad announced as he opened the door.

"Come to the kitchen!" I heard Brad's sister, Nat, call.

"Hi!" Brad's family is so happy and warm.

"Hi, my name is Leanna" I said as I waved at them.

Nat was focused on something else though. When I realised that Brad's arm was still around my waist, I stepped to the side a bit making Brad's arm fall to his side.

"You look gorgeous, by the way." Anne-Marie complimented me and I smiled at her.

"Not as stunning as you and Natalie, of course." I said which made them both smile.

"So, shall we start?" Derek asked and we all nodded.

So the sitting arrangment is Derek at the very top of the table, Natalie to his left, Anne-Marie to his right, Brad to his mom's side, Me beside Nat, my mom beside me and Justin (my mom's boyfriend) beside Brad.

"How was school today, by the way?" Nat asked and I almost choked on my food.

"School? It's great." I said and Derek chuckled.

"You can tell us the truth sweetie. Nobody's school is great." He said and everybody agreed. I chuckled and nodded.

"I punched my ex today." I said making all of them look at me. Especially Brad.

"He was harassing a girl under our grade and well, I had to step up." I said and Anne-Marie smiled so big.

"Nothing better than being there for someone. That's actually really kind!" She commented making everybody agree again.

"Well, enough about my school. What about you guys?" I asked and the conversation started.

....
"I'll help." I said as my mom and Anne-Marie started cleaning up.

"No hun, you go have fun with Nat and Brad." Anne saod and I smiled.

"Are you sure?" I asked and they both nodded so I went to the siblings.

"Do you like my brother?" Nat blurted out as I sat beside Brad on his bed. Nat was sitting on his couch.

"Nat!" Brad exclaimed as I just blushed so bad.

"You guys act like couple and yet, you guys aren't together, what do you want me to think?"

"Friends? Best friends?" I asked and Brad nodded.

"Well, you guys also can't keep your hands to yourselves sooo"

"I gotta answer this call." Brad said as his phone rang. He took it to the bathroom and Nat turned to me.

"Do you like him though?" She asked and I chuckled.

"Brad and I are friends. That's all, nothing more, nothing less." I said and she smirked.

"He doesn't treat just friends like that though. He treated Maggie just a friend when she was with the band. He doesn't do that to you. He treats your more." She said and I shook my head.

"Anyways, I have work tomorrow so I'll see you guys." Nat said as Brad got out the bathroom.

"Goodnight." I said as she greeted us goodnight.

"Work?" I asked Brad and he shook his head before flopping next to me.

"A store where I reserved something. They were asking for information on my order." He said and I nodded.

"Hey, wanna stay for the night?" He asked and looked at me.

"I don't know about my mom." I said before looking at him and smiling. Then racing him downstairs.

"Brad!" I yelled as he fell down the stairs.

"I'm fine!" He said and we both laughed as he stood up.

"Why are you both running down the stairs?" Justin asked with a smile.

"Where's mommmmm." I asked and he chuckled.

"Drea, your daughter." Justin said making Brad and I chuckle.

"Yes?" My mom came out of the kitchen with Anne-Marie.

"Can she please stay for the night?" Brad asked and both moms looked at each other.

"Of course she can!" Anne said with a smile.

"Well, we were about to go home. What about your clothes" Justin asked and I looked at my dress.

"I'll just bring you a bag." My mom said and i nodded.

"No need, she can use something of mine." Brad said and my mom chuckled.

"Okay then, if you say so. We'll be going then." She said as she grabbed Justin and they took off. Well, nothibg odd about rushing your boyfriend home. Gross.

Brad and I went back to his room and I layed down his bed as I scrolled through his phone.

"Is your manager gonna get mad if I post stuff on your socials?" I asked and he chuckled.

"Shouldn't be about our career and you're fine." He said as he rummaged through his closet.

'Follow spree in 10 minutes, just comment down stuff about you guys! I wanna get to know all of you. Xx'

I posted and waited until Brad settled on something for me to wear.

"Natttttt! Can I borrow some shorts?" I asked as she peeked through Brad's doorframe.

"Sure, hold on." She said then came back a few minutes later.

She gave me the shorts so I got in the bathroom to change. Brad's shirt is too big for me though. I saw a hanger so I hanged my dress in before leaving the bathroom then hanging my dress on to Brad's closet handle.

I flopped down beside Brad as he was using his laptop.

"Cute fit." Brad joked and I chuckled. I layed my head on Brad's shoulder then grabbed his phone again.

I saw some comments and liked some before going through Brad's followers then following them back. Not all though, can't do that cause there's too much.

After that, I went on #thevamps then followed some more accounts.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Bra suggested and I nodded.

He put on Incredibles 2 and we watched until I fell asleep, my head on his shoulder.

"Goodnight Lea." I heard him say before I felt him kiss my forehead.
