Just wanted to thank everyone………..so enjoy the story! (AND REVIEW!) :D
"Bradin………we shouldn't even be kissing in the first place….." Jasmine pointed out, licking her lips after she pulled away. Bradin stared at her for a moment, replying, "I know it's Alex………." "Of course it is." Jasmine said in a flat-out tone, sounding a little bored. Bradin sighed, and ran a hand through his blonde hair. Nobody said anything else for a while, both of them dwelling in their own thoughts. "How about let's go downstairs? I'm starting to get hungry…." Jasmine suggested, breaking the awkward silence. "Okay…….I guess so." And both of them ran out of the room and down the stairs, Bradin running behind her, trying his best to catch up. Wow, nice ass! And to this, he pretty much mentally slapped himself for thinking that thought……..
Jasmine left the door open for the blonde boy as she walked into the kitchen, opening up the fridge while Bradin sat down on a bar stool at the counter. "You want milk and cookies?" Jasmine asked, poking out her head from the inside of the fridge. He shrugged his head and replied, "I guess so……" She came out with a pitcher of milk, and laid it down on the countertop, walking over to some wooden cabinets for cookies. "Where are your parents?" Bradin asked. Jasmine, who was bringing a package of cookies, practically dropped them on the ground. "Well, they're not here right now!" she snapped, giving him an icy cold glare. He looked taken aback, and felt hurt.
"Wait…….Bradin. Sorry I erupted on you like that…….it's just that my parents are never around anymore…….and I'm still a little mad at them….." Jasmine apologized.
"It's okay. Tell me more about them." He replied, placing his hand over hers. She blushed, quickly taking her hand away to pour some cookies and milk to a plate and cups. "They weren't always like this……..definitely not in Florida. They were always there for me, or at least one of them was there to greet me. But ever since we moved here……they've always been coming home late whenever I'm sleeping, and I never get
to see them anymore. It's as if I'm invisible…….." Jasmine took in a deep breathe and looked as if she was going to cry. Bradin got up from his seat and slowly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a gentle backwards hug. Jasmine was immediately surprised, but she definitely had to admit she wasn't complaining or hating this………..
"How about you have dinner over at my house, since you might not be doing anything tonight?" Bradin whispered into her ear, which tickled her shoulder. "Sorry Brae, I have some plans this week………how about this Friday night?" she asked, turning herself around in his arms so that they were both facing each other.
He smiled as he lifted her chin. "Anything's fine with me……." He soon started to lean in, but she broke away from the embrace before he could kiss her. He gave her a questioning look, but she just rolled her eyes in response. "Wouldn't you're aunt mind if I do come?" "Of course she won't! She'll love to meet you!" he exclaimed happily. She just stared at him for awhile, trying to figure out if he was lying or what. "Okay……..I'll go." She replied. "Yes! Yes! You're coming!" Bradin cheered, jumping up and down. "But I'll call you sometimes just in case. Or maybe you can call me………" she said.
"I'll call you." He volunteered, giving her a hopeful look. Jasmine nodded her head, giggling at the face he was making. "Sure……….but you need to leave this house right now! I'm supposed to get ready to go to Beyond the Blue……" she trailed off. He nodded as he was making his way to the back door that lead to outside.
"Okay, I'm going to go now. See ya on Friday night Jasmine. I'll call you." Bradin whispered, giving the girl a last hug and a sweet kiss on the forehead. She blushed and
hugged him back, giving him a light pinch on the cheek. "Bye…….." she whispered faintly, closing the door behind him as he ran outside. "He's so sweet…….." Jasmine breathed, feeling her heart beat heavily through her shirt. Then a thought struck her.
Am I falling for Bradin Westerly?
