Paradise // Brandon Arreaga

Chpt. 8

❤️I actually never made it to the concert that was in my city:( which I was really heartbroken about but here's chapter 8 lovesss happy reading!

  We both started to lean in, almost as if the universe was creating this moment. An entire teenage dream moment, kissing in an arcade, background music and dark lighting. His lips felt like velvet, soft graceful velvet. His hands traveled down to my thighs picking me up and putting me on top the edge of the basket ball machine. I couldn't help but let out a giggle as he did then placed his hands back on my hips holding my steady. My hands tangled in his dark hair as our lips move in sync. His hand traveled down my thigh then off my leg as his phone rang. He sighed and pulled back, but our foreheads still resting together. I leaned back against the machine putting my hands in my lap. I figured it was the guys asking where we went or something, maybe they finished the game. I looked around and the arcade is still fairly empty, only two teens playing the car racing games. The song changed to some upbeat music, it was kinda catchy to be honest. My fingers tapped the machine to the beat of the song. " would you minnndd.." I hummed along. It sucks that we're not by the bowling lanes, they put up the music videos to all of the songs that play here, ugh I know I'd love it, this song is awesome. Sounds like almost similar to the one in the coffee shop.
"No, I have to go, it's my summer I'm spending it the way I want to like I said I was. Stop calling I'm serious." Brandon hung up the phone and shoved it in his back pocket and sighed louder. I rested my hands on his shoulders. Who ever it was really put him in a mood. Although I have a feeling I know who and what it was about but it's not the time or place to address this.. I tried to think of something to lighten the mood so I rubbed my hands on his harms and he looked up at me with apologetic eyes. My eyes met back with his but I didn't want to speak yet. I didn't want either of us to speak yet, knowing he'd probably try to talk about what the phone call was. So I just started singing to the song while looking at him but not in a serious way because I seriously cannot sing for the life of me so I just kinda sang lightly.
" I've got a questionnn, If I pulled you closer would you mind, would you minnnddd.." I  barely sang more like a whisper kind of but it really got his attention. I mean really it's like his eyes went from loving to traumatized I know I suck but I wasn't even really trying.
" what? I know I can't sing I was just trying to lighten the mood I -" I started.
" no it's not that let's go guys are probably looking for us," Before I could answer he pulled me off the machine by my waist and took my hand in his and led me out the arcade which the guys met us at the exact time we were walking out.
" time to go?" Austin states and questioned at the same time looking at Brandon frantically as well as the rest of the guys. Nick came running around the guys with Jenna on his back running for the door.
" GUYS WERE LEAVING NOW!!" Nick yelled passing us. Brandon and guys didn't hesitate to run as well and I didn't really have a choice but to keep up considering Brandon still had my hand. The guys following close behind, people were whispering while we ran. I mean I know we look ridiculous running through the bowling alley and all but don't y'all have a ball that needs bowling..? I guess not ...Brandon kept looking behind as if looking to see if someone was chasing us, but when i tried to see as well he yanked my arm forward to run faster. I tried my best not to trip and he yanked me towards the black SUV. We all jumped in the vehicle and as soon as we did everyone huffed a sigh of relief. I tried not to blurt out the first thing that came to mind but was interrupted but loud banging on the side of the windows by multiple girls screaming. "DRIVE DUDE LETS GO!" Zion yelled at the driver. The driver floored it out of the parking lot.
"What the actual.." I whispered to myself, rubbing the side of my head. The moment at the arcade, the sprinting out of the bowling alley, the girls screaming, the SUV waiting for us.. this literally sounds like something Justin Bieber would go through. This is just too much with little to no sense. I don't even know what to make of this, I don't understand what just happened, I-
" hey, breathe," Brandon whispered in my ear, his hand made its way to the top of my knee rubbing relaxing circles, but it did nothing for me. I pushed his hand off of me and I turned to face all the guys and my sister.
"What the hell was that!?" I practically yelled. Everyone stopped their conversations and put down their phones and looked at each other as if not knowing what to say which basically means they know something I don't.
" Uhh Zion is uh a uhh TIK TOK BOI" Jenna chimed in looking at Zion. Nick covered his mouth in hysterics turning red.
" Jenna don't even," I raised my hand up to stop her but Austin pitched in, " No he really is, look, do that thing!" He pointed at Zion. Zion looked so confused then said "Ohhh yeaaah umm.." then put his fingers to his temples then rolled his eyes. This cannot be real right now. Like I'm aware you can get famous for literally anything nowadays but you've got to be kidding.
" I'm getting a migraine.." I turned around and just stared out the window. There's just no way. There's a secret and I can feel it. Brandon tried to grab my hand but I moved it. I don't want to talk to anyone who clearly won't tell me the truth. When we made it home we got out of the vehicle and began to part ways to our own houses.
"Hey wait!" Brandon called walking over to me. I crossed my arms looking up at him.
" Can I come over for a little while?" He asked, I looked around for a second, then nodded. I turned to lead the way he began to talk again.
" oh and one more thing," but before I got a chance to respond he bent down and threw me over his shoulders as a squealed like a little kid. He opened the front door, seeing Jenna race up stairs a rocky. He dumped me on the couch then grabbed the tv remote.
"Stranger things?" He looked at me as he plopped down next to me. I smiled and nodded.
We're about 2 episodes in to stranger things season 2 and he already fell asleep on my shoulder. I used this opportunity to get up and put a pillow under his head so he wouldn't wake up. I was still in jeans from today, I wanted something more comfortable so I ran upstairs quietly before he notices I'm gone. I quickly took off my shorts and shirt and threw on a oversized tee shirt and soffee shorts. It was still kinda dark in the room but the red LED lights were just enough to see. The radio on the night stand was playing "maha maha by Lana del Rey, I guess I forgot to turn that off before I left. Oops.
" So you just leave me like that?" I heard a soft voice from behind.
" I was just changing I didn't think you'd be such a light sleeper," I say looking at him through the mirror smirking.
" well the pillow wasn't as comfortable as you," he said wrapping his arms around me from behind. He brought his face closer to mine and kissed me lightly on my cheek as were still starring at our reflections in the mirror. I looked down so he wouldn't see me smile. His hand turned my face to his as he guided mine to his. And our lips met. Again.
He turned me around, and began kissing on my neck, I felt my eyes rolling and my head tilting back but I decided to use this moment to my advantage. I leaned back to part him from my neck and brought his lips to mine once again but pushing his chest back with my hands making him fall onto the bed. I sat on his lap and brought my lips to his neck. I felt his hands grip harder onto my waist as my tongue moved on his neck. He began to moan softly and this is where I knew I had him where I wanted him. I smirked hearing him moan but whispered "that feels nice?" And of course he moaned again. I can hear "if you seek amy by Brittany Spears playing in the back ground which only made the mood better.
I slowly started to grind my hips on him. Which he loved even more. " you like that too?" I whispered.
" mmmhm.."was his only response.
" would you wanna...make me scream.." I started, to which he nodded to.
" scream you're name... like you're fans," his whole body tensed up as I stopped moving and leaned back. Little did he know I heard one of the girls at the bowling alley scream his name the other guys after we had drove off.
" what..why didn't you just ask instead of doing all of this...this nonsense? Seriously Jessica?!" He started to get louder. I got off him and walked to the other side of the room.
" Oh I did ask multiple time actually and you still never said anything! In fact you lied! I had to figure it out for myself and I still didn't put it together until a girl screamed your name today!" I yelled back.
" We're not even dating so I don't know why you're getting so mad," he stated getting up. That one hurt, he wasn't wrong but that stung.
" You're right." I said looking down. I walked to the door and opened it gesturing for him to leave. To which he just huffed and walked out without saying anything. I slammed the door shut and fell back on the bed. What have I gotten myself into.
