It was half four and Freya had been at the studio for half an hour. She made her way into the sound booth with their manager Joe and Film maker Dean, and couldn't take her eyes off Brad. She noticed how he got so into his work, and he seemed even hotter to her. That, and the fact that this was the first time she had heard him sing in person and she was just blown away. Freya sat down next to Joe and bobbed her head to the music. The hour went by so quickly and before she knew it, the boys were packing away their instruments.
"So, what are we doing this evening?" Freya asked Brad as he put on his jacket.
"I thought we could have a quiet evening in? You know, cuddle up in bed with some Ben & Jerry's and watch some films." Brad shoved his hands into his pockets and looked at the ground as he blushed.
Freya could feel her insides going all warm and fuzzy. "That sounds perfect." She replied as she wrapped her arms around one of his.
He looked up and smiled at her. "Yeah?" He questioned as they left the studio and headed towards Brad's car.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" They stopped beside Brad's car and he turned to face her.
"I just thought you were more of a going out kind of girl, that's all." Brad opened the passenger door and gestured for Freya to get in.
"Well, I'm the kind of girl that will do anything once" Brad laughed. Freya winked and Brad shut the door.
He ran round to the drivers side, got in and closed the door. "Do you want to stop off at your house and pick anything up? You know, just in case you end up sleeping over again?" He asked, looking at Freya.
"Already sorted." Freya replied, tapping her bag which was laid on her lap. Brad started up the engine and headed back to his place.

Freya and Brad have been at his house for a few hours now and had just finished watching Avatar. Freya was stood in front of his DVD shelf, trying to pick what film to watch next when Brad came up behind her and slide his arms around Freya's waist as he kissed the back of her neck.
Freya giggled to herself. "What was that for?" Brad turned Freya around and she clasped her fingers together on the back of his neck.
Brad looked into Freya's eyes and took a deep breath. "You know, Freya, these last few days have been absolutely amazing and I don't want them to end but..."he looked down, his face saddening."but what babe?" Freya said. He looked back up at her. "The band and I are going on tour."
Freya smiled "but that's amazing right?"
"Yeah it would be if I didn't have to leave in two days" Her stomach sank and she could feel a lump rising in her throat. Freya swallowed hard and sighed. "How long are you going for?"
"2 months."
"Wow, that's quite a long time."
"Yeah I know it is but it will go quickly." They both went and sat on the end of the bed. Brad took Freya's hands and said "what I would like to know is, although we have only known each other a few days, I want to go away knowing whether I will have something to come back too. So what I wanted to ask you was, Freya will you be my girlfriend?"
She couldn't quite believe it, Freya didn't say anything so Brad said "Look, I know its early but these past few days we have spent together have been amazing and I feel like I've known you for ages. I understand if you're not ready or you think its too soon..."
"No!" Freya interrupted. "I agree with everything you said. Brad, I would love to be your girlfriend." She hugged him tightly for a minute before kissing one another passionately.
They ended up not watching another film, but sitting on the bed, talking, laughing and taking photos of each other. They also played twenty questions, helping them get to know one another even more. Freya learnt that Brad's favourite colour is red and his favourite film is 21 Jump Street.
It was about half eight when Freya got a text from her mum. It read "Hi sweetheart. Hope your day has been good. Dad and I are having a night in tonight. Where are you this evening?" Freya thought for a minute before she started typing. "Hi mum. Its been amazing thanks. I'm at Brad's at the moment. Would you and Dad mind if I brought him over? I'd really like you to meet him." Brad looked over at her. "Who're you texting?" he asked.
"Mum. I hope you don't mind, but I kind of asked her if we could go over there? Only I really want you to meet them!"
"Wow!" he stuttered.
"You don't want to do you?"
"No, no, no, I do, I really do! I'm just a bit nervous now!"
Freya smiled and hugged him "You don't need to be nervous babe, they will love you!"
Brad took a deep breath. "Okay, if they're cool with it, then so am I"
"That's my boy" Freya's phone vibrated. She opened the text from her mum. It read: "That would be nice, your dad and I have been curious to meet this mystery boy of yours! ;) See you two soon darling, love you xx" Freya looked at Brad. "It's cool with them" she said.
"well then I guess I should put some clothes on then!"
"That would be a good idea yeah!" They both laughed and Brad went to get dressed while Freya sorted her stuff....
