Stop Counting Numbers

21.

Should I text her? Call?

I don't wanna look like I'm desperate. I am though, to be honest.

"Jesse, help me" I groaned as Jesse walked in my room.

"Should I text her?" I asked her and she looked at me then turned around and layed down at the near edge of my bed.

"Nice help girl." I mumbled as I looked at her contact again.

She gave me her new number after the dinner a few hours ago.

Then my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered so quick that it actually hurt cause it felt like I slapped myself.

"Woah boy, why do you sound like you're expecting or atleast excited for a call?" James asked as he chuckled.

"I ate dinner with Lea. Well, my whole family did. With hers." I told him and I hear Kirstie squeal.

"Did anything happen?" She asked and I sighed.

"Nothing exciting, that is." I said and I heard them both chuckle.

"You have to talk to her then. Talk about what happened last time." James said and I sat up.

"No, no, no." I said and I heard him chuckle.

"Well, that's my help. Kirstie and I was gonna come over but you're busy so we're just gonna go on a date." He said and I nodded, even when he can't see me.

"Have fun." I said before he hung up.

Screw this. I'm calling her.

After a few rings, she picked up and I heard her voice.

"Hello?"

"Leanna, it's Brad." I said and then I heard something fall.

"I'm fine. Sorry about that, my mom just called for me and told me that she's gonna go on a date with Justin. Old people in love." She said and I chuckled.

"So, what's up?" She asked and I got nervous again.

"Can we meet up tomorrow?" I asked her and then a few seconds of silence before she spoke.

"Yes! I mean, yeah sure. I'm not busy at the moment."

"Okay great, I'll pick you up then." I said with a smile.

"Okay then."

"9am. You up for that?" I asked and then I heard some shuffling.

"Yeah, I am perfectly fine with that!" She said and I nodded.

"Okay then, see you." I said and then layed back down.

"See you. And Bradley?"

"Yeah?"

"Goodnight." She said making me smile even more.

"Goodnight Leanna." I said then hung up.

I DID IT. GO BRAD! sorry.

Lea's P.O.V.

I gave my number to Brad.

Is he gonna call me? Or atleast text?

I wish.

Keep on dreaming Leanna.

*ring ring*

"Hello?" I asked as it was an unknown number.

"Leanna it's Brad." He said shocking me causing me to fall off my bed.

I was just thinking if he would call me. I'm a psychic!

Whatever that is.

"I'm fine. Sorry about that, my mom just called for me and told me that she's gonna go on a date with Justin. Old people in love." I lied. I couldn't save him knowing I fell cause of him.

"So what's up?" I asked as I sat on the floor.

"Can we meet up tomorrow?"

Okay I'm dead. Am I dead? Am I dreaming?

I mouthed some excited expressions as I silently jumped around.

"Yes! I mean, yeah sure. I'm not busy at the moment."

"Okay great, I'll pick you up then." He said and I'm sure I'm dead at this moment.

"Okay then."

"9am. You up for that?" He asked and then I went to my laptop and messaged Austin that I can't go for a recording tomorrow. All the things I'd do. Tsk tsk Leanna.

"Yeah, I am perfectly fine with that!" I said and smiled as Austin said it was okay.

"Okay then, see you." He said and I smiled sooo wide. I'm pretty sure it hurts but I just can't feel it at this moment.

"See you. And Bradley?"

"Yeah?" He asked and I smiled even more. If that's even possible.

"Goodnight." I said and screamed mentally.

"Goodnight Leanna." He said before hanging up.

And then I squealed.

I'm meeting him tomorrow! I don't know why but I don't care.

All I care about is that I'm meeting him. Talking to him. And spending time with him.

Without anyone with us. Like a date but not a date cause he didn't say so.

Is it, though?

Probably not.

Most likely not.

It's all in my head.

Leanna, you left. He'll never like you back.

You've hurt him. Why do you think would he come to you?

Do you think the trust is still there?

Most likely not, girl.

Just don't expect for it cause if it doesn't happen. You'll end up hurting yourself too.

But didn't I, already? When I left him?

Well then, don't hurt yourself again.

Most importantly, make sure you don't mess up again so that you don't hurt him again.

You already did once and it's gonna hurt not only him but you too.

Your dream already told you so.
