Bradin walked into Kaitlin's room after helping the movers move the furniture into the house. Kaitlin's father let him go and hand out with Kaitlin for a while. He saw her opening a box and look through it. He walked up to her and covered her eyes.
"Guess who," he whispered softly into her ear.
"Hmm," she said tapping her mouth with her finger, "Would you be…a sick mover guy who wants to 'play' with a teenager girl?"
Bradin laughed. "I wouldn't let that happen to you," he said wrapping his arms around her waist.
She looked back and saw Bradin even though she knew who it was the entire time. "Did they fire you already?" she asked.
"Your father let me come up here and see you."
She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What would you rather do?" she asked, "Stay up here with me and watch me unpack and do absolutely nothing or help the movers downstairs move things into the house?"
"Stay up here with you and kiss you until I die," he said kissing her passionately.
"That wasn't a choice," she said.
"I know. I didn't like the choices that you gave me."
"Come on," she said.
"I didn't," he told her.
"Kaitlin, I-" her mother said walking into the room, "Oh. Hello Bradin."
"Hello again," he said taking his arms off of Kaitlin but keeping a hold of her hands behind his back. "Can I steal your daughter?"
"Then, she'd have to charge you for kidnapping me," Kaitlin said.
"Funny, baby," he said looking back at her, "Can I borrow her for a few hours?"
Kaitlin looked at her mother for the answer. "Go ahead. You two need some time together since it's been three weeks," her mother said.
"Thank you," Bradin said as he led Kaitlin out of the house.
NEXT DOOR
Ava and Susannah were working on a project together for work when Bradin walked in.
"Kaitlin!" Ava yelled hugging the teenage girl tightly.
"Hey, Ava," Kaitlin said hugging her back.
"When did you and your family get back?" Susannah asked.
"We got here today. Bradin is borrowing me for a few hours," Kaitlin told them.
"Take care of her," Ava told her nephew, "I want her and her family at dinner tonight. If she comes home with any marks on her, I'm blaming you."
"Protective," Jay said walking into the room.
"Hey, Jay," Kaitlin said.
"Hello, Kait," he said hugging her.
"Can we go now?" Bradin asked.
"You're the one that brought me here," Kaitlin said turning towards him.
"Yeah," he said, "just for you to say hi and for my aunt to invite you to dinner."
"I guess we should get going," Kaitlin told everyone before Bradin literally pulled her out the front door.
"So," Bradin said to break the silence between them as they sat on the beach.
"What?" she asked.
"Tonight, Ava's making an announcement at dinner," he told her, "I think she accepted Simon's proposal."
Kaitlin's head whipped in his direction. "Simon?" she asked.
"Yeah. I'm not too happy either. I really wanted her and Johnny together."
"Oh my god," she said, "Does he know that Simon was going to propose?"
"I don't think so," Bradin said.
"If he disappears tonight after Ava makes her announcement and the announcement is what you said you think it is, I'm going to find him. He might need someone to talk to."
"Okay. If you two aren't back within a certain time, do you want me to find you?" he asked her.
"No."
Bradin leaned over and kissed her. "I love you," he whispered when he pulled away.
"I love you, too."
Bradin studied the way his girlfriend looked. She looked like something was bothering her and she needed to get it out. "Baby, what are you thinking about?" he asked.
She looked at him and back out at the ocean. "Nothing," she said shaking her head.
"Baby," he said, "don't lie to me. I know that there's something on your mind and you need to get it out."
She sighed. "Kait, talk to me," he said.
"I don't want to ruin the day," she said, "I'm happy. You're happy. Can I tell you at a different time?"
"Promise me hat you will tell me."
She kissed him. "I promise," she said pulling away.
