Stop Counting Numbers

31.

After dinner, Brad and I just sat there and watched the stars as we talked about everything and anythings.

"Brad, what's wrong?" I asked as he fidgeted with my fingers.

"Oh sorry." He said and I shook my head.

"It's nothing. I'm just worried about your behaviour tonight." I said and he sighed.

"I guess this is the right time then." He said before sitting down and facing me so I did the same.

"Right time for what?"

"Lea, ever since we started talking online, I knew there was something that's gonna happen. Something really really good. But I was scared that you might not feel the same way.

But you hid away your true self from me. But after we met at our meet and greet, I knew I had to see you again. That note did a lot to me. I got to see you again and got to know you more. The real you. And then at the cafe. Up until now, I've been wanting to ask you only one question that I am scared for your response.

But I'm taking my heart at risk and will ask you now. Leanna, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Brad-"

"I knew this was stupid." He said before standing up and started walking away.

"Brad you idiot." I said as I caught his hand and pulled him to me, causing me to outbalance and fall on the grass, Brad falling on top of me.

He looked at my eyes and I looked at his.

"Yes. Yes, I would be glad to be your girlfriend." I said before wrapping my arms on his neck and kissing him passionately.

Then we eventually started making out.

Thank goodness there's no one here. Or else we'd both be in trouble with the pictures.

"You have no idea how happy I am right now." Brad said as he smiled at me.

"Same goes to you." I said and he kissed me again.

"Goodmorning." I greeted as I got out of the bathroom and saw that Brad was already up,checking his phone.

"Lea.." he said and I looked at him as I wore my clothes.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I have to go back to UK." He said and I stopped.

"Okay." I said before continuing getting ready.

"Okay?" He asked and I chuckled.

"Yes. I'm serious." I said and he stood up and walked over to me.

"I promise I'll be back by the end of the week." He said before kissing me.

It's now Tuesday so that means he'll be back by either Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

"Mhm." I mumbled as he kissed me again.

"Give me the car keys." I said and he nodded before giving me it.

"What time is your flight?" I asked him as I blow dried my hair.

"In an hour." He said as he packed up his backpack.

"You're not bringing your luggage?" I asked and he shook his head.

"I'll only be there for less than a week so no need." He said and I nodded.

"Hurry up then so I can drop you off to the airport." I said and he went in the bathroom, not bothering to close the door.

Once we got to the airport, he unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at me.

"What?" I asked and then he kissed me.

"Be safe in driving okay? We both know you're a newbie." He said making me laugh.

"Yeah yeah." I said as I smiled at him.

"Call me when you land." I said and he nodded before opening the door.

"I'll see you soon." He said before getting his head in and kissing me before pulling away and closing the door.

I drove off and looked back at him as he waved.

What a first day.

After shoot, I got to my dressing room and greeted my make up artist who has starting to pack up the stuff that I had used while filming with them.

"Actually, you should pick out anything that you want here and take it home as a souvenir." She said and I lit up and ran to her and the box then ran through it finding a jewellery box, and inside was all the necklaces and rings that I have worn, then a pair of sunglasses. I took those.

Then went to the clothes box and took all of the oversize tshirts and sweatpants in there.

"I knew you'd go for those." She said and I chuckled.

"Thanks!" I said and she smiled.

"Congrats on finishing the shoot by the way." She said and I smiled at her.

"It was a dream to be shooting." I said and she pushed the boxes out of the room.

"Well, I'll let you pack up." She said before closing the door.

After packing my things, I drove back to the hotel and sighed as I remembered that Brad wasn't here and won't be for the rest of the week.

I sat down the bed and scrolled through instagram and twitter before looking at the chest.

I picked up a journal that had a number 1 on the cover.

Dear Diary,
      I know that this is pretty silly. A 16 years old young lady, going on her diary. I am being adopted today. Put up to a new house. To a new family. Isn't that exciting? My new family seemed nice. They have 2 sons and a daughter. But they are all younger to me.

I have to pack my luggage in a few minutes so this first entry will be a short one. I hope my future entries would be a bit longer.

Yours truly,
                    Eli
