Last Night

The Boys

"I'm home!!" Brad yells as we walk through the door. It's beautiful inside- really spacious and modern. Tristan walks past and stops with a look of surprise. It takes some resistance not to have a melt down and run over to him. I can't believe I'm at the Vamps house!!
He smiles and says

 "Ooh Brad who is this?"

"This is Alana. She's Australian. She went to our show!" 

"Aah cool. Nice to meet you, Alana." 

We go and sit on the couch and the other boys come in. We all talk for ages and the whole time I'm pinching myself because I can't believe it's real. I'm sitting on a couch with The Vamps.... in their house!!

It's 1am and it's clear I can't go home now. Tristan asks about it. 

"It's pretty late, do you wanna stay over Lani?"

 
"Um...sure, if that's ok?"

"Of course. But we don't have a spare room built yet. You'll probably have to share with Brad...."

 Tris says mysteriously, and the boys start teasing Brad and slapping him on the back. He looks down shyly and smiles, shaking his head. 

"I guess that will be ok. If you're cool with it?"

"Yeah," I say. 

We all get up and go down the hall. All the bedrooms are in the same hallway. James walks beside me. Just as he gets to his room, he whispers in my ear 

"goodnight. Don't have too much fun."

 Then he winks at me and sneaks into his room. Brad's room is at the end. We walk in and it's very nice. He has a king bed with black sheets and blankets. There's some stylish furniture dotted around the room and a signed Michael Jackson framed poster above the bed.

"Hey um if you wanna get changed the bathroom is just the first door to the left."

"ok...uh I don't have anything to wear, it's all at home." 

"Oh yeah, of course! Let me see what I have...." 

He opens a huge door revealing his clothes. He picks out an over-sized grey Adidas shirt and passes it to me. I go to the bathroom and put the shirt on. I keep adjusting it so it's not too short. The shirt stops between my waist and knees. I put on some socks as well and go back into Brad's room. When I step in, I hear him playing his guitar and singing gently with his backed turned.

"I was walking away, but she's so beautiful it made me stay. I don't know her name, but I'm hoping she might feel the same." 

"That sounds amazing Brad." 

He quickly turns and sees me standing there. He looks me up and down and smiles.

 
"I don't think anyone has looked that good in that shirt."

 I giggle and blush, looking down shyly. 

"Thanks......I still can't believe this though!! Only a few months ago I saw you in Sydney, and now I'm listening to you in your bedroom!"

"Well I reckon I'm pretty lucky that I met ya. And you know, I'm open to dating a fan..." My heart jumps a bit when he says that. Dating a fan.....woah. 

I notice he must've changed while I was gone because he wears shorts instead of jeans now but still the same shirt. He goes and puts the guitar on a stand in the corner. Then he pulls the shirt over his head. I catch myself staring at his toned muscles, flexing with every movement.
We both hop into the bed. We lie there in silence for a bit, staring at the ceiling. Then Brad turns to face me so I do the same.

 
"Hey Lans, I have a question for you." 

"Hmm...,?" I say sleepily, trying to stay awake.

"Well I wanted to say that once again I'm so glad I met you, you seem so nice and easy going, and you're pretty damn easy on the eyes too." I giggle at his remark. 

"This might seem crazy since we only met a few hours ago, but um....do you want to stay with us for a while? I want to get to know you a bit more and I promise I'll make the guys behave. But I'm sure they'll love having you here."

"Hmmm.....I think that would be nice. Sure."

 He smiles at my response and wriggles a little closer. He kisses me briefly then says goodnight and turns off the light. He puts an arm around me and kisses my forehead, before I drift off to sleep....

It's been a few weeks and I've spent lots of time with Brad. He takes me to the studio, and we have all these places where we hang out together. I've also become really close with the boys.

One day, Brad and I are at a cafe. 

"Hey Lani, how do you feel about us?" 

"What do you mean?"

"Well I want to know how you feel about me. Unless you don't want to do this anymore?"

"What? No! Why wouldn't I want to be in this anymore??"

"I don't know. You just didn't seem sure."

"Brad come on! Don't ruin this please. You know how I feel about you." 

"What if I don't? You never say."

"BRAD! Just because I don't put it into words doesn't mean I don't care. I show you through my actions. God, why did you have to ruin it??" I angrily stand up to leave but he grabs my arm and pulls me back. 

"No! Please! I'm sorry I didn't mean that Lans. I'm sorry.... please sit down."

"What is it?"

"I...I have an important question to ask you."

"Yes?" I say impatiently, still moody but a little curious about the question.

"I've been thinking, and I know I really like you. You're like this breath of fresh air from all the crazy music life. I mean I love it, but it's so intense sometimes. And you're so frickin' beautiful, c'mon just please don't be angry. I know it's only been a few weeks, but I feel you're just meant to be here with me, I need you here. Will you be my girlfriend?"

 I'm taken aback by his words. He needs me..... I pause while sitting there, and we are silent.

"Oh no.......I've pissed you off now, you don't want to say yes. I'm sorry. Ok."

He is wrong. I want to say yes a thousand times over. In response, I take him by surprise by leaning over and kissing him. After about 30 seconds, he pulls back and says 

"Woah."

"Of course Brad. Of course I'll date you, idiot."
