Part 5

It was finally evening time and Nikki couldn't contain her excitement. She was finally going on a date with Cameron. She had been crushing on him since she first met him. She could remember that day like it was yesterday. After that day, they had been best friends, nothing more. Nikki decided to talk to Bradin about this. After all, this was her first date. As Nikki walked toward Bradin's room, she was getting nervous. Was he going to act like an over protective brother? was all she was thinking. She finally made it to Bradin's door.

She was very quiet when she spoke. "Bradin, can I come in? I need to talk to you."

Bradin answered without any thought. "Yeah, sure, come in."

When she walked in she saw that he was getting dressed up. He must have a date too, she thought.

"Well, what is it you need to talk to me about?" Bradin questioned.

Nikki started to tell him about the date, "I finally told Cameron how I feel. And now we are going on a date."

Bradin acted estacic about this. "Wow. This is historic. My little sister's first date."

"I don't know what to do, what to say. I am so nervous yet excited at the same time." Nikki was so nervous that she just kept rambling on.

Bradin knew how this felt. He was feeling the same way now. He was thrilled that he was going on a date with Britney, but he was worried that he might say the wrong thing and make her hate him.

Bradin then reassured her, "I know the feeling. I'm going on a first date tonight, too."

Nikki then came up with a brillant idea to calm her nerves. "Really? Well, maybe we could make it a double date. To ease my nerves."

Bradin sat there and thought about it. Should he let his sister accompany him on his date? Did he really want to witness her awkard first date? He saw the pleading look in Nikki's eyes.

Nikki pleaded with Bradin. "Please Bradin? For me?"

"Sure," Bradin reluctantly answered, "But be ready by 7. Thats when I have to go get Britney. When is Cameron coming over?"

"7," Nikki said. Then added, "This is going to be so perfect! My first date! I can't wait!"

Bradin wasn't sure if he had just made a huge mistake, or if he did the right thing. He guessed he would just have to figure that out later that night. His sister seemed really happy. And that made Bradin happy too. He just wanted the night to be perfect. He like Britney so much. Even if he had just met her. After sitting on his bed and thinking for awhile, he realized that it was 7 and Nikki was waiting on him down stairs with Cameron. Without hesitation, he walked down the staires.

"You two ready to go?" Bradin asked as he reached the bottom stair.

Cameron was shocked by this. "Your brother is chaperoning?"

"No," Nikki explained, "This is a double date."

Cameron understood this. He was nervous too. "Oh, I see."

They then jumped into Bradin's car and started on their way to Britney's. After about a 5 minute drive, they stopped.

Bradin jumped out of the car while yelling, "Wait here, I'll go get her."

He was interested to see how they were gonna handle being alone. He remember his first date, and it wasn't pretty. He stumbled over his words, he almost spilled his drink on his date, and when he went to kiss his date goodnight, he missed and almost kissed her nose. He hoped things would go better for Nikki. When Britney answered the door, he was speechless.

Britney was the first to speak. "Hey Bradin. Ready to go."

"Yeah. By the way, you look nice tonight." Bradin answered.

"Thanks. You do too." Britney was clearly falttered by his comment.

They then walked over to the car. Britney was startled when she say two young people sitting in the back kissing. It was almost funny. She could tell that this was a first kiss for the both of them. Her and Bradin decided to not disturb them. Thoughts were racing through Bradin's head, too. If this date went well, how was he supposed to tell Britney that he had to go to Hawaii in 2 weeks? When they reached the car, Nikki and Cameron broke apart.

Nikki was a little embarrased, but didn't let it show. "Hi, i'm Nikki. Bradin's sister. This is Cameron."

"Hi Nikki, Cameron. I'm Britney." she sweetly responded.

Bradin was still lost in thought as he climbed into the car and started driving toward a near by resturant. He decided that before they got to attached, he was going to tell Britney about Hawaii. If she was okay with that, then they would see how things went. If not, he wanted to end it tonight. He learned from Erica that when you don't talk about things like this, the relationship is useless.
