The Secret Relationship of Brandon and Callie.
The strong stench of beer reeked from Callie's breath and body as she walked through the home of the Fosters. Stef and Lena were both sitting on the couch of their living room, waiting for the girl to return from the party which she had left. Standing up, Stef walked up to the foster child she and Lena had brought into their home and placed his hands on her hips, instantly smelling the smell of beer illuminating from the girl.
"And where were you?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Callie bit her lip. No, she wasn't drunk. She had only had two or three beers and she was most definitely not a lightweight. Looking up at Stef, Callie sighed.
"I was at the beach..with a friend." She said honestly. "Honestly? We had a few drinks, but nothing too serious. I'm sorry for running off, but after I found out that Talya read my journal and was holding what she had read against me; I just needed fresh air. To get away." Callie explained to Stef and Lena. The two women looked at each other and sighed, both of them nodding at the same time.
"Okay. But tomorrow morning, we want to hear everything that went down tonight from both you and Brandon." Lena demanded, pointing to the stairs. "Bed. Now." Callie nodded and made her way up the stairs, holding her dress so she wouldn't trip over it up the stairs.
Thirty minutes had passed and Callie was finally out of that ridiculous gown and in her yoga pants and oversized t-shirt. Walking out of the bathroom, Callie accidentally ran into a body and almost fell backwards until a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist and caught her. Breathing in deeply, Callie opened her eyes to find Brandon holding her. Clearing her throat, Callie looked down at Brandon's arms as he realized that it was time to help her up and let her go. Brandon quickly did so and fixed his shirt.
"Sorry. Are you okay? Where did you run off to?" He asked, sounding genuinely concerned. Callie sighed and looked down, trying her best not to look into Brandon's eyes and get lost in them. "I was at the beach with a friend. I needed some fresh air after everything that happened." She explained yet again. Brandon nodded.
"I'm so sorry about Talya...I didn't know she was such a.." He said, trying to find the right word.
"A bitch?" Callie implied. Nodding, Brandon smirked.
"Yeah, that." Brandon bit his lip and looked down. "I wish I knew sooner about her self consciousness about all of this..but honestly? She had every right to be jealous." Brandon looked up as he spoke honestly. Callie, raising an eyebrow, looked up as well as she instantly got lost in the boys eyes.
"She did?" Callie asked. Brandon nodded.
"She was right. I do have feelings for you, Callie." He finally admitted out loud. Callie looked over to Brandon with wide eyes. Sure, she had her suspicions, but never in a million years did she think that her suspicions were actually right. Looking from Brandon to the ground, Callie stood up and started to walk away, not entirely sure of what to say. Brandon instantly stood up and power walked over to Callie, grabbing her wrist lightly. "Callie.." He said, turning the girl around so that her eyes met his. Callie couldn't help it. She instantly melted into Brandon's touch as she looked deep into the tall boy's eyes. Brandon took in a deep breath and leaned in, placing his lips carefully on Callie's. Being caught off guard by the kiss, it took a few seconds for Callie to realize what was happening before she could even have the time to kiss Brandon back. Brandon looked down at the small, fragile girl, looking for anything that told him that she had the same feelings for him as he did for her. Blinking a couple of times, Callie just shook her head, grinning like a madman as she leaned in and kissed Brandon lightly. Now it was Brandon's turn to be caught off guard, but instead of waiting to kiss back, he immediately kissed Callie back deeply as he let go of the girls wrist and brought his hands up to her face. He cupped the girls face into his hands for a more passionate affect. A few moments into the kiss, Callie had to pull away from Brandon's lips reluctantly, in desperate need for air. She was left breathless after that simple kiss from the boy she had feelings for.
"Brandon?" She asked, looking up into his eyes. Brandon raised an eyebrow and smiled his crooked smile at Callie.
"Yeah, Cal?" He asked, using the simple nickname he had given her after the first few days of her being with them.
"I...I have feelings for you too." Callie whispered, not wanting anyone to hear her confession. Brandon grinned furiously and chuckled.
"Well, I would hope so after that kiss." Brandon said, chuckling. Callie blushed furiously as she leaned frontwards into Brandon. After a few moments of peace between the two of them, a clearing of a throat was heard among them. Startled, the pair jumped from their embrace and looked to see what the noise was coming from. It was Stef..
