Finding You

Best Friends

"What a weekend." Jordan tells me and I sigh. You're telling me. I'm exhausted still and I went home last night. I knew I needed a refresh and that wouldn't happen with Brad. I'm not quite comfortable enough to be super relaxed with him.

"And Collin wants a review of the weekend as well. I've been putting him off all day." I grab my coffee and take a sip.

"You're not going to tell him about Dan, right?" She asks and I shake my head.

"God no. You know how Collin is. We'd have the band dropped in a heartbeat." He's very protective of his employees and he always has, which is why we have our own security.

"Aside from the Dan drama, how do you feel about the Brad stuff?" She asks and I sigh. It scares me. It terrifies me. I haven't even told her that he's said it already.

"Hi, I don't have much time." I look up to Brad and smile.

"Whatcha doing here?" I ask and look over at Jordan.

"Wanted to get you coffee and a croissant. I have a meeting with my manager today so I was out and about."

"You're sweet. Thank you." Looking back up at him.

"You're welcome. They'll call your name when it's ready. Hi Jordan. How are you today?" He turns to her and she leans forward.

"Be better if you told me there was something for me." She tells him playfully.

"There's an americano with your name on it for taking care of my girl." He tells her and she lights up.

"God, tell me you have a brother." She sighs.

"Might have a cousin for you." He tells her with a small smile before turning his full attention back to me.

"Good luck with your meeting. Let me know how it goes."

"Yes ma'am." He kisses me hard, making me grip onto him so I don't fall back.

"I'll see you tonight." I tell him softly.

"Have a good day. I love you." Another quick peck and he's gone.

"Did he say what I think he said?" Jordan asks and I turn to her.

"I was getting to that part. He said it this weekend and says it every chance he can." I rest my chin on my hand.

"Really? Did you say it back?" She questions and I sigh.

"No, of course not. I'm not ready for that."

"He must've taken that well."

"He did. He wants me to take my time."

"Do you think you'll say it back to him anytime soon?" I take a deep breath in. She's not the only one whose asked that. Mom was confused when I told her yesterday.

"I don't know honestly. I mean I might love him. Like I'm pretty sure I do but I feel like I would have to force it out."

"It's a little soon though."

"Exactly. I even tried to explain that to Brad and he said that he couldn't help it. He said that it just came out and he doesn't want to fight it." I tell her.

"Do you think that will kind of force you to say it back?"

"I worried about that too but I don't feel the need to say it yet. I love when he says it though. There's something about him saying it to me that makes me happy."

"I've never felt that way about a guy telling me he loved me. Must mean something." I shake my head. I know it means something. I know I could say it to him. I know that I would be sure one day. I'm sure if I said it out loud once it would all click together. I would mean it.
