Sweet Nothings - Brad Simpson

𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧

The alarm was going. The phone alarm. Somebody was phoning me. At this time? Why? Its like 5 in the morning.

Unwrapping my arm from around Tristan I felt around on the bedside table for my phone, the blackout blind was shut and the curtains were closed over them too, it was pitch black. When my hand finally touched my phone I turned it on to check the time.

12.36am

Shit! Im supposed to be meeting up with Jaz today, Im meeting up with her at 1pm today. Ive got 20 minutes to get ready. 20 MINUTES. I basically ran out of bed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth hardly and quickly, washed myself with a flannel and threw on a pair of jeans and an Artic Monkeys top, I looked fashionably cool and I had put no effort in, look at me go! By the time I was ready it was 12.56, four minutes to go. I walked back into the bedroom and Tristan was lying in the bed with the sheets sprawled everywhere. I walked up to him and gently crawled onto the bed, lying on my side, watching him sleep, I started to play with his hair, tucking the loose strands behind his ear, it woke him up, god he looked cute.

"Morning handsome" His lips curled into a smile,

"Morning Gorgeous"

"Im spending the day with Jaz and shes gonna be here any minute, I just thought id come and say goodbye" He quickly pulled me into him and smothered me in kisses, I started giggling and kissed him back.

"I have to go now, sorry" I pouted and got off him and made my way to the front of the apartment, as soon as I was about to open the door and see if Jaz was outside and she rang the doorbell. Jogging the last part of the way to the door I opened it and Jaz was stood outside almost jumping up and down with joy.

"Ahhhhh oh my god! I forgot how long its been since I last saw you!" I squeezed her in a big hug, once I was done almost preventing her from breathing, I grabbed my purse and bag off the side and headed out the apartment.

"So, ive got a lot of money in my pocket and its burning a hole so I need to spend it quickly, shopping all day?" She knew exactly what to do.

"Duh" We made our way to the train station and got on the first train to Birmingham shopping centre. On the train there we gossiped about all sorts of things, but the most important topic we spoke about was which shop to stop off at first. We decided to got to Selfridges first, Jaz had been there before but I hadn't and she wanted to show me around, may as well get one of the most expensive shops out of the way! It was probably the worst shop to start with but we never said we were good at making decisions...

The bus took us to a stop directly outside Selfridges and the building was stunning, it looked like one of those metal cubes of balls that can attach and de-attach itself from one another.

"This building cant be just for Selfridges, Its huge!"

"Just you wait" We spent 3 hours in Selfridges and I ended up spending £123.79 , ah shit. I brought £50 worth of makeup and body care and the rest on clothes, some kinky, some not. After shopping we found a juice bar that sold fresh sandwiches and juice with the little flavour balls in the bottom that pop in your mouth. It was in the shopping centre, we got on another bus and headed for pavilions. Now this was a place id been before and Jaz hadn't so it was time for me to take the lead, it felt better than it should have.

The fruit bar was small but cozy, I brought a watermelon and coconut fruit with passionfruit flavoured balls in the bottom, to be honest I hated the little balls when you just wanted a drink but they were the thing at the moment and I did find them quite satisfying. I also got a roast chicken, mayo and lettuce, I started dribbling just ordering it. We sat down at the one of many available tables and waited for them to bring our order to us.

"So, how's Trissy?"

"Well, im not sure, were fine now but we went through a weird faze"

"Explain..."

"Okay so you know how ages ago brad and me broke up? Yeah, well Tristan was there for me, he supported me so much and id never been more thankful, but when Brad got drunk and tried to get me back and I moved back home for a while, Tristan wasn't really there for me, he did try to stop me from moving but he didn't contact me what so ever until I went to NYC, and he was with James all the time sending me weird videos, its like he was cheating with me behind my back. When I got back from NYC Connor threw a sort of party for me, he was holding my hand and when he let go it was Brad holding my hand and I felt better than I have in a while, but now things are the same with Tristan but Brads all depressed because hes broken up with Zoeey, thankgod but yeah. That's it. Not much to know"

"God, what a job lot of information to take in! By the sounds of it you still have feelings for Brad but if your happy with Tristan then im not gonna stop you from letting that go further." I kinda just smiled at her and I didn't really know what to say, now that ive actually spoken to someone about all of it its left me in shock, I didn't really want to think about it much.

For the rest of the day we went to loads more shops, spent way too much money and the result was bags and bags and bags of shopping and lots of sleep needed. It was about 8.45 and we were just leaving a pub we went in for some drinks when my phone went off, it was a text from james, james never texted me so I was a liiitle confused.

'Georgia, come back quickly because we have some very important news to tell you, hurryyyyy!'

I told Jaz about the message and made sort of an excited squeak,

"I know what the news is"

"What, you do? How!"

"Connor told me because he was very excited for you to know but he told me not to tell you but I want to tell you"

"Don't tell me! Your so bad at this stuff! Just walk to the train station with me and you can go home and the boys can tell me what the surprise is" She looked at me with the biggest puppy eyes and a huge pout on her face but agreed, she knew she was bad as well.

We got home about 10, Jaz had gotten of at a stop before me so when I got back to the apartment all four of the lads were waiting for me, each with there hands behind there back and a smile on there face. James spoke first,

"Were going somewhere"
