Time Is Not On Our Side - Bradley Simpson

Chapter 5: You dickhead!

A week has passed since my birthday. You are probably wondering if I saw Ethan again. Well the answer is no. Is it because of Bradley? Nope, on the contrary, he pushes me to send him a message. But I still haven't done it. Fortunately for me, life has decided to help out.

"- Brad! I screamed through my apartment

- What? I heard his voice coming from the kitchen. So I started to run, excited to tell him the news

- You will never guess what just happened to me! I screamed

- Lily ! Wait- Brad tried to warn me but it was too late, my body was already crushed against the ground. And unfortunately, right at Brad's feet "

I stayed on the ground for a few seconds, trying to understand what had caused my fall. I finally looked up at my best friend who stared at me for a few seconds before exploding into laughter. He received in return the most hateful look I could give him but that didn't stop him from continuing to make fun of me

"Can I know why there is oil on the fucking floor ?! I asked him, angry

- Sorry Lily I. - He stopped for a few seconds to laugh. I dropped the bottle of oil and- He paused again, unable to calm his laughter which annoyed me even more. I had planned to clean up. He finished his sentence and tried somehow to catch his breath

- Stop, it's not funny! I said what made him laugh much more. You dickhead!

- I'm sorry, I can't stop. He told me, trying to calm down again

- Brad stop now! I screamed before I turned my back on him and crossed my arms against my chest. I was upset "

I stayed for a few moments like that before I finally heard him calm down.

"Sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to make fun of you. He told me by sticking his chest against my back and wrapping his arms around me

- I hurt myself ! I was moaning, still on the defensive

- Where are you hurting? He asked me, laying his head on my shoulder

- Here. I showed him an area on the top of my head where I felt a lump forming

- Come here. He turned to face me before kissing the place where I hurt myself. Feeling better ? He laughed at his childish behavior

- Mmmh Yeah. But you're still a jerk. I winked at him before I left to sit on a chair

- I love you too Li "

He went to get everything he needed to clean my floor before finally getting rid of all that oil. Once finished, he came to sit by my side.

"- I made you some pancakes. He said, handing me a filled plate. By the way what did you wanted to tell me?

- I'm not sure you deserve to know. I teased him

- Please...

- Stop with that baby face! You know I can't resist! I moaned

- So ? He gave me a winning smile

- Ethan sent me a message. I said as if nothing had happened

- Ethan you mean the Ethan? The one you haven't dared send anything to in the past week? He asked me, amazed

- Yes !
