Part 6

They had finally arrived at the resturant. Bradin was so nervous about how Britney would react to his news. This was only their first date but, he felt a connection with her. Something strong. Something he couldn't ignore.

Bradin decided to send Nikki on in. "Nikki, Cameron, go on in. I need to talk to Britney, alone, for a minute."

They all looked at Bradin wierdly but did what he said. Britney was trying to figure out just what they needed to talk about. Was he already bored with her?

Bradin then nervously started to tell her about it. "I have something I need to tell you."

Britney felt her knees start to buckle and give out. She felt like she could cry. Nothing good could come from this conversation. Bradin could tell she was feeling this way. This made him even more sick to his stomach than he already is.

"It's nothing bad," Bradin reassured her. "It's just, I got the oppertunity of a life time right in front of me and I don't want to waste it. "

Britney was kind of confused by this. "Okay..."

She was still unsure of where this conversation was going.

Bradin then continued. "I got the chance to go to Hawaii and surf for a professional surf team. I'm leaving in 2 weeks."

Britney quickly responded, "Is that all?"

She was so relieved with this news. A smile was starting to form on her face.

"You don't care?" Bradin answered. He was starting to feel hurt.

Britney was honest with him. "No."

Hurt started to spread across Bradin's face. Britney knew she said the wrong thing. Of course she cared that he was leaving. But she wasn't heartbroken. They could work through this.

Britney could tell what was going through his mind. She quickly added, "That's not what I meant. I meant that, we can still be together. Just long distance for a little while."

"It's a month," Bradin sadly told her.

Britney felt like she needed to make him feel better. "But that's not forever."

Bradin knew she was right. He started to smile at the thought that she liked him as much as he liked her. He knew it was crazy, but he was in love when he first saw her. Obviously, she was too.
