On Friday i arrived home covered in the customary after school attack and walked in to find Brady sitting on the stairs. When i opened the door his head snapped up and he frowned as he looked me up and down. I smiled as he looked me up and down and i felt tingles from my toes to the top of my head. He stood up and walked over to me. "What happened?!?"
"Erm, Friday Frizballs. It's quite nice actually, it always reminds me that the end of the week has come at last. Quick question Brady, why are you here? i mean, not that i'm complaining, but is Collin here or did you break in? because if you broke in i'd rather you told me now so i'm not surprised by the broken door or glass. You smell woodsy. have you been running in the forest again?" Throughout my little monologue he just stared at me until i finished when he frowned.
"Okay, what is a friday frizball? why are you condoning what they're doing? I'm here because i needed to see you. I-I mean, erm... to make sure you were okay because i haven't been h-here all w-week. Erm, and what wasthe other thing? i sort of got confused when looking at your e-e-ey-." he trailed off as he stared down at my eyes, his face was literally two inches from mine.
"A frizball is like this mixture of a blueberry blast and lemony lemon icicle pop. They blend it together and it tastes quite nice. See, lick me." my eyes widened a little around my smile as i noticed his eyes darken before i managed to put my hand between our faces and pushed it towards him so that he could lick the back of my hand. He did and i got tingles in my stomach. It was then that i realised that i was dripping on the floor. I looked down and noticed his hands were holding on to my hips. It felt right Readers, it felt right.
"You're right but that doesn't explain the fact that you've been slushied again. It's wrong! I tried to stop them this week but you always ran away from me so i couldn't be there when it happened. I-I wanted to make sure you were okay, but i was confused. I didn't know why you didn't want to see me." He looked so adorable when he pouted like that. Time to change the subject.
"Oh my lord, is that a unicorn plushie slushie surprise?" he turned quickly and i ran upstairs, slamming my door shut. I went straight to my ensuite bathroom and took a shower, i came out about half an hour later and got changed before going over to my stereo, thinking of a good song to put on. Suddenly i heard whining and scratching at the door. Was it a stray dog? a unicorn? it was with this in mind that i opened the door and Brady pouted at me again. "You're not a unicorn."
"Oh, sorry, Larry just left he said to say hi but he couldn't stop." I frowned and looked down quickly.
"Oh okay. What's that smell?" His smile broadened and he grabbed my hand, pulling me down the stairs.
"Are we going to Narnia?!" i asked excitedly. He shook his head and i nodded quickly. "Are those muffins?" I looked at the pile of unrecognisable blobs which were strewn in a basket on the table. Almost as if they were meant to be there. "Oh my god! it's a pastry invasion isn't it? should i go to the shop and get more milk so we're protected?"
i opened the fridge and took out some milk. I looked back and caught Brady staring at me. "What? just because i don't feel the need to have unneccessary people breaking in to my house, believe in unicorns and use milk to get the stains of slushie out of my carpet doesn't mean you can stare at me like that." I glared at him and his expression softened.
"No! i mean, i'll help you, it's just i... i find you fascinating." okay... i'm begining to get weirded out by Brady. I like him and everything, but ii'm getting the impression he likes me too and him being here without Collin is a little weird.
"I think you should go and find Collin. he's probably wondering where his best friend is. Considering you know, it's getting late and you're staring at me like i'm your next meal and all." his mouth just opened and closed like a fish. I used to have a fish. it was gold. I used to call him or her, i never found out which one it was, Goldie. it was quite sweet actually, until my mum came in one day and opened the top of the tank. The door bell went and she came back to see Goldie on the floor. I think it committed suicide. I cried for a week. "Do you remember Goldie?"
"Yeah, your little gold fish?" i nodded and he smiled slowly. "Can i help you clean the floor? i think it'd be good for us to get our mind off the fact that you were slushied today." i grinned at him and chucked him some milk before walking to the cupboard and getting out the carpet cleaner.
"Thank you Brady." he walked in to the hallway and fell forwards. i gasped but he turned his head and smiled at me as he did a quick press up and jumped into a crouch. "I like it when you do press ups." he smiled and started pouring the milk on the floor. I sat down on the stairs and patted next to me so that he could wait with me for it to dry.
"Cassy?" i looked at him and was beginnning to get destracted by his light blue eyes. Where did he get them from? did he have an ancestor who happened to be of white origin? Were they contacts? if they were contacts then he would have to be careful about poking himself in the eye. I looked down at his hands which were really big. Maybe he should stop using contacts."Cass?" i looked up again. "I erm.. i talked to Collin to ask for his permission before asking you this, but i was wondering, would you like it if i took you to the cinema sometime?" I shook my head.
"I wouldn't Brady. i'm sorry but i cannot lie. A lot of the people who don't like me go to the cinema a lot and it would be humilating if i were to be slushied in front of you." i blinked up at him and he stared back.
"W-what if we had a cinema night, where we watch a film or something?" i smiled brightly and nodded.
"That would be really nice. Can we watch Sorority Row? it looks kind of scary but thoroughly warns us all about drinking alcohol whilst lying down. Not to mention the fact that you should always have passwords in your phone as to elude all future killers from being able to send your friends IMs or messages when he had killed you. I bought it last week." his mouth was open and he was just staring at me. "I'm sorry, is that too scary?" he just smiled and shook his head.
"It sounds perfect. Just like you." i blushed and for the first time in a long time, i smiled because i wanted to, not because i needed to. "But i think that first we need to do something about this milk, it's going off isn't it?" i shook my head and started spraying the carpet before starting to scrub at the floor vigourously. I heard a noise which sounded a lot like a growl or even a groan and looked around at Brady whose eyes were fixed on my behind. Maybe i had writing on my trousers which i forgot about. Yes, that's probably it.
Ooh, tingles in my stomach... i feel a bit like Cassy at the moment... nice :P
