Brad's Angel

4: I will tell you later...

The whole walk there was silent as I kept as physically close to Brad as possible.

He was just so... So warm...

Our silence wasn't awkward, no, it was more of a 'we don't need words' kinda moment.

But I knew if I started caring for someone that wasn't James or Becca, I just... I just couldn't do it.

Not yet anyway.

When we arrived, Brad held the door open for me, and I ran over to the desk and paid for the pizzas, briskly walking back out.

"So... How about we play a game?"

"Erghh... Depends what game..."

"21 questions..."

"Fine... You start..."

"Okay Destiny... What is your last name?"

"Brooks. What's your full name?"

"Bradley William Simpson... How old are you?"

"Cute and 17. How about you?"

"17. Where do your parents live?"

"Erm..."

"Oh god I'm so sorry! I'm such an idiot!"

"It's okay. You didn't know."

Okay... So there is something I may not have told you... But I'll tell you that later...

I pulled away from Brad's arm as I walked faster, nearing the entrance to James's building.

"Look, Destiny. I'm sorry."

I stopped and turned to look at Brad. He looked so worried and it just made my heart melt a little.

"Seriously, Simpson, it's okay. You didn't know anything about me."

"Does... Does anybody else know?"

"One person..."

"James?"

"Erm... No actually... One thing I didn't tell him..."

"Well... If you ever need to talk to someone about it, I'm all ears, alright?"

He grabbed my phone out of my pocket and handed it me back.

I checked to see what he had done and I saw that he had put his number into my phone.

"Thank you. It means a lot..."

"It's alright love. Now let's get these pizzas upstairs!"

We walked side by side, our shoulders touching as he cautiously touched his hand against mine. When I didn't pull away, he entwined our fingers together and I couldn't keep a smile from spreading across my lips.

Again, Brad held the door open as I walked into James's apartment.

"PIZZA!" It took a matter of seconds for James and Tristan to appear in the kitchen and Tris had other ideas as he literally jumped on top of me, pushing me to the tiled floor.

"Erm... OW!" I giggled as Tris tried to get up.

"Tris! Be careful!"

Brad spoke as he held a hand out, helping me up.

I blushed as our hands connected and he hauled me up off my butt and back onto my feet.

"Thanks. So what movie are we watching?"

"Well... Since it's my house... And your the only lady here... I think you can choose Dee."

"YAY!"
