My Brothers Best Friend

Ch.10: The Date

"that's the bell. i better go...unless you don't want me too?" he requested.

"uhm.." i hesitated

                                          ***

"are you...nervous?" he chuckled

"n-no..." i stuttered

he puts his hand on my waist and pulls me in.

"does this make you nervous?" he asked flirtatiously.

i pull away and let out a little laugh.

"you aren't gonna get me this time brandon. either you're gonna trick me or just kiss me and tell me you only did that for fun. but guess what. i'm not gonna fall for that anymore cuz i'm done with your little games" i barked.

he looks at me all confused then starts laughing.

"what're you talking about? i wasn't gonna do any of that." he said.

he walked up to me again and held my hand.

"how about i take you out tonight. around 8." he insisted.

i bursted out laughing.

"damn brandon that was a good joke now i gotta get to class because i'm suuuuper late"

i start walking to my class but brandon stops me.

"i'm being serious madeline." he said

appalled i was so shocked. i knew he was serious because he actually said my name. LIKE MY FULL FIRST NAME!

but i was also shocked because brandon dominguez doesn't go on dates. i was so weirded out but it was adorable.

"uhm brandon you're high." i assumed

"let me take you out madeline. just say yes." he begged.

i hesitated.

"fine" i sighed "but you're paying!"

i walk to my class and i start smiling like a mother fucker.

i walk into class and mr. whatever his name is just gives me a death stare. i gave him a smile and went to my seat.

i couldn't stop thinking about brandon. he deadass just asked me if i wanted to go on a date. is he catching feelings? is he joking? why did he hold my hand?

i have so many questions.

                  AFTER SCHOOL

i hop on the bus and again sit in the back. i see brandon come in and he sits next to me. again..

"hello mads. ready for our date tonight?" he said

"yes i'm so excited to see all the food you're gonna pay for" i said.

"you know i'm gonna pay for it either way baby girl." he teased.

he grabs my hand and intertwines it with his.

"brandon...you keep trying to seduce me but it will never work." i said.

"oh...i'm just getting started."

i check my phone when i see a text from kevin.

KEVIN: maddy you left your sweater in class. i have it i'll give it to you tomorrow in the morning.

brandon grabs my phone and he starts texting kevin.

MADELINE: hey buddy this is brandon i'll give it to her instead. thank you, bye.

"what the fuck brandon?" i scolded

"you're welcome. you don't have to deal with that kid." he said.

we reach our bus stop and as i'm starting to walk away from brandon he shouts something but i didn't hear him.

i enter my house and caleb is on the couch watching tv wrapped in his blanket like a burrito.

"feeling better?" i ask

"i wish. i feel so numb." he says.

"i'll get you some more medicine."

i walk to the medicine cabinet and grab calebs medicine but then my phone rings.

"hello?"

"hey mads i miss you." brandon says on the other line.

"what do you want brandon?"

"i just wanted to say that i'll be at your house at like 8:15."

"how am i supposed to sneak out brandon?"

"what do you mean?"

"my brother can't see my going on a date with his best friend. he'll be so pissed at the both of us."

"aw you're worried. so adorable. you know i don't usually do this but i'll make an exception with you"

"shut up."

"fine i'll park my car a few blocks away and i'll text you when i'm here okay?"

"alright. i'll see you then"

i hang up the call and i start blushing so hard.

"MADDY WHATS TAKING SO GOD DAMN LONG?" caleb raged.

"damn bitch i'm coming"

4 HOURS LATER

i start getting ready for my date with brandon. he's gonna be her in like an hour so i go take a quick shower and start throwing my clothes around to look for some good clothes.

i finally found some good clothes and i put on some mascara and lip gloss.

i don't like make up. it's- it's just weird.

i get a text from brandon saying he's outside so i go downstairs quietly and finally get to the door. i open the door but then-

"where are you going?" caleb asks.

i turn around and just stood there.

"why are you all dressed up?"

"uhm..."
