Time Is Not On Our Side - Bradley Simpson

Chapter 13: You love her man...

*phone call*

"- Tris I am- I got cut off

- Lily!

- I'm busy, I don't have time for talking right now! I said before hanging up "

But he called again

"- What's wrong with you?! I screamed

- Brad is at the hospital! Just come please ! "

*A FEW HOURS EARLIER*

Brad's POV:

What am I going to do now, alone? I've been stuck with her all the time for 2 weeks and the same day we come back she must go see him? To be honest, I didn't think it was that serious between them. And it scares me all the more that she wants to get into something with someone like him. We don't know anything about him appart from the fact that he works in business and that he is a pizza delivery boy to be able to pay his rent.

But wait ... How can you need money to pay your rent when you work in business? Isn't that supposed to be a job that pays well? Maybe I should do some research about him ... Google always has the answer for everything. But I can't do this to Lily ... She'll kill me if she learns that I "investigated" her boyfriend. But anyway she will never know, will she? And then it's better to get to know this guy. Who knows, maybe I'm going to learn that he's the perfect guy who donates money to associations every day and visits children in hospitals. Or I'll find out that he's the head of a gang. Yes I know I say bullshit but you never know. Anyway, sorry Lily but I need to know. So, Ethan Cooper.

I was typing his name in the search bar and when I was going to press the enter button, the doorbell rang. I huffed, frustrated, before shutting down my computer and getting up to go open the door

"- Hi B. Tris said to me when I had just opened to him

- Come inside. I told him

- It's funny, we live together but you're so absent that I have to come to Lily's to see you. He laughed

- Hm. I replied not knowing what to say

- Have you ever thought of moving in with her?

- What? No ! I answered categorically. I don't know ... I don't want to disturb her

- What's going on with you? You've known each other for 15 years, stop acting like you've known her for 1 week. You don't care to bother her usually. He made fun of me

- Oh shut your mouth, anyway now that she's with Ethan she'll want to have his privacy with him so I'm going to come back to the apartment. I mumbled

- What was that ?

- What? I asked

- You mumbled as if it bothered you. He told me, trying not to laugh

- Of course it bothers me, it's been years that I almost live with her. I answered

- She's in a relationship Brad, she's not going to stay single indefinitely just to please you

- I know. I just want her to find someone better than this guy

- Someone like You ? He replied with a smirk

- I beg your pardon ?

- C'mon Brad, you know what I mean, we all know

- What the fuck are you talking about? I said, starting to get on my nerves
