I would like to add a quick authors note to this chapter. I am trying to update at least once a day. Once the main storyline gets going, I might slow down on posting. Thanks for all the great reviews. I'm glad you all like my story. I am eager to hear what you think of this chapter.
Part 7
The date went perfectly. Bradin and Britney really got to know each other. Over the next two weeks, they became inseperable. Which made this day one of the hardest that they had to deal with. Bradin was almost in tears. How could he be so selfish? Leaving Britney here while he followed his dream. He was haveing serious second thoughts.
"Maybe I shouldn't do this," he said. I should just stay here instead of getting on that plane."
Britney was a little confused. "Isn't this what you want? This is a dream come true for you. Don't let me stop you from doing this."
Bradin considered what she said. He did want this more than anything. He also wanted to be with her. He knew that there would be alot of beautiful girls in Hawaii. He had to know what him and Britney were. Were they a couple? Or not? He was almost afraid to ask.
He had to ask. "I have to know something."
"Okay." Britney effortlessly replied.
Bradin paused then asked, "Are we a couple? Are you gonna be waiting for me?"
"Is that what you want?" Britney questioned.
Bradin wasn't sure how to answer this. This is what he wanted, but he didn't want to influence her answer.
"I want what you want," was all he could say.
Britney considered this then told him, "Well then, we'll just have to see what happens when you get back."
"What?" Bradin blurted. He didn't expect her to say this.
Britney wasn't sure that she had made the right decision. She just didn't want Bradin to return with news that he had cheated on her. She couldn't take the heartbreak. Her last relationship ended badly and she didn't want to get hurt again.
Britney was quick to explain. "I just don't want anything taking away from your experience. When you get back, i'll be here. We don't have to talk about any of the girls or anything that you did in Hawaii."
Bradin could tell that this was hard for her, but, if this is what she wanted, thats what was gonna happen.
Bradin responded, "Okay then. I guess I'll see you when I get back."
He turned and started to walk away. Tears were forming in both of their eyes. If neither one of them wanted this, then why were they doing this? Bradin couldn't figure out why Britney wanted this. He was brought back to reality by her voice.
"Bradin, wait!" Britney exclaimed. "I want to explain."
Bradin was curious so he said, "Okay, explain."
"My last relationship, it ended badly," Britney started. "I don't want to go through that again."
Bradin knew that he wouldn't hurt her. "But..."
"Don't say you won't hurt me. That's what he said." After a moment of thought, she added, "Just, promise that when you get back you'll at least come and talk to me. Let me know where we stand."
Bradin could do this. "Okay. I'll do that."
He then boarded the plane without looking back. He took his seat by Jay. All he could think about was, this is gonna be an adventure.
