Not Just A Fan

Chapter 10

Making her way into the shop, she was dreading on how much Brad must be feeling of her getting up and leaving. When she left him the message, he never called or messaged back, and thinking she has blown it all together.

Bizarrely, she was more waiting for Drew to text her, maybe some follow up message about his, "thank you for helping" speech. Why was she thinking like that? It might be because how he almost opened up to her, maybe he has been shutting people out because Drew lost trust. Ester concludes something must have happened in his personal life and is hiding it away from the media not to get it and to do that is by not telling people. She admits to finding him attractive when he laughed or smiled and hope to see more of him like that again.

Putting all her essentials in her locker and about to start her working day in the record shop, she felt hands rubbing onto her stomach and wrapped around her tightly.

'You are very hard to catch.' he whispers into her ear, the deep voice make her blood pump in excitement.

'I thought you were going to be mad at me?' She looks over her shoulder slightly.

'A little bit. When I woke up, and you weren't there, I wanted to go again. But I saw your message, and it's ok.' Brad kisses down to her neck. 'So, can I have you all again tonight?' she turns around, and he steps back to see her face.

'I have band practice in the evenings.'

'Come by after and stay.' Brad tells her, and she's left in shock, this was all a bit too fast in her mind and wanted to take it a bit slower.

'I want us to date a bit more if that's ok? Before we decide on staying at each others places.'

'Yeah but, I want all of you. I haven't stopped thinking about you.' As Brads says this, it makes her wonder on why he had no intention of calling. 'Please? Come stay just for one night?' Brad's laid on puppy dog eyes, maybe she should stay one night it could make her decide to weather the first time was just due to being over-excited.

'All right, one night. Let's do Friday, as I don't rehearse on Saturday, and we can do something together?' Brad pouts at her suggestion.

'Damn, I have to wait that long...but I guess it's worth it.' he smirks, and she smiles back.

During her work hours, she concentrates on selling to her customers but can see Brad in the corner of her eye, getting the attention from girls again. A pang of jealously went through her, and has no reason to be as they never classed themselves as a couple.

A couple of hours, she went for a break in the courtyard and had her cartoon hoodie with cat ears on the hood to keep her warm. She checks her phone again and still was hoping a text from Drew and for what reason? As she was deep into her thought the door swung open, Brad stares at her, his light grey shirt, dark denim jeans and messy hair. She admit he is cute.

'Gosh, I've never been desperate to end a sale so quickly.' he walks up to her, Ester smiles and places her phone in her pocket.

'I thought you loved selling the guitars.' She says, Brad gets closer and holds her around her waist.

'Knowing that you're on break, I had to see you again.' Her heart pounded faster.

'Brad...' she mutters, 'We can't be seen like this.' With a smile beaming on her face.

'Don't worry about it, we won't get caught.' He smirks and starts kissing her neck and then deeply into her mouth. She liked this flirting attitude that he brought, made her believe she is overthinking it.
