Chapter 9
Brendan's point of view
"Bren!" I hear Cheryl scream and after I don't answer I hear her thumping towards my room,
"Brendan! Get out here the agents downstairs." She squeals excitedly from behind the door.
I hadn't even meant to fall asleep but I feel more refreshed now, I hurriedly get up and walk out the door to where Cheryl's standing, arms crossed. She looks at me with a serious look on her face while she jabs a finger into my chest,
"I really want this club, don't mess it up for me." She mutters,
"When do I ever mess business up Chez?" I reply, I never mess up with business. I know that's a fact and so does she,
She tuts "Ye know what I mean Bren, this is important to me."
"Okay." I sigh putting my hands up in surrender before walking downstairs into the living room the agent is standing awkwardly with a cup in her hand.
She doesn't mess about thankfully, it's pretty straight forward since the important stuff is already out the way. Just the paperwork now that the cheque has cleared and they now have it in their bank, a couple of signatures and reading a few pages then were done. She doesn't stick around thankfully and afterwards Cheryl turns round with a massive grin on her face.
She squeals before wrapping her arms around me, "We need to go out to celebrate tonight!"
I smile at her before nodding, "Yeah sounds good Chez." I know I have to agree otherwise she won't get off my case about it,
"Invite Ste!" she grins then straightens up a bit "If you want of course," she smirks while she flips her hair a bit.
"Yeah, I will." I smile at her,
Cheryl totters away mentioning something about picking out clothes and needing to get ready,
"Want to just go to the pub in the village Chez? That way it's easy for Steven and Lindsey to meet us?" I shout after her while pulling my phone out.
"Yeah okay love." She shouts down the stairs, "I'll phone Lindsey while I'm doing my hair."
I think of writing a text to Steven then decide to just phone him instead for quickness, it rings a few times and I panic that he won't answer and I'll need to leave a voicemail but then he answers.
"Alright," he says and just the sound of his voice puts a smile on my face.
"Hi," I sigh, "That's me and Chez officially got the club."
"Aw really? That's great," Steven says while sounding enthusiastic.
"I was wondering.. Eh " I'm getting nervous and feel like a teenager again, don't know what it is about him that makes me act like this. "If your not busy tonight, we're going out for drinks in the pub near yours." I say hoping he'll catch on but he doesn't so I clear my throat and man up, "I'd like for ye to come."
"Yeah course" he breaths down the phone, "What time about?"
I look at my watch, 4.30 it'll take Chez about three hours to get ready "About eight?"
"Yeah see ya then"
I hang up the phone before letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. I watch random tv, flicking through the channels until I find a documentary about Elvis Presley, I've never really been a big fan, more of a Johnny Cash man but I watch it anyway just to kill some time. After about half an hour I get fed up and head back up the stairs and jump in for a shower, when I get out I've got a text from Steven. At first I think he's going to cancel.
Just at that point Cheryl walks in complaining about her dress not feeling right and that her hair won't sit straight. She doesn't even look at me just starts rabbiting on and on.
From: Steven
I no that I only saw you a couple of hours ago but I can't wait to see ya! Ste x
I smile, always do when I get a text from him.
To: Steven
Me too. Chez is being a nightmare. BB x
From: Steven
Lol what's she doin now? Ste x
To: Steven
Moaning about anything and everything, as always BB.
From: Steven
That's your sister your talkin about! Ste x
To: Steven
Sadly yeah, for all of my sins. BBx
"Bren! Are ye even listening to me?!" I feel my phone getting pulled out my hands before I can grasp it tighter, "Give me that- oh look it's Ste what a shocker!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I snap.
"Your always talkin to him! Or about him." she sighs,
"So what?!" I moan "Your the one that's been saying I should settle down, what if I am?" I ask without even thinking about the words.
"See this is what's worryin me Bren, fair enough settling down but not this quick with someone ye barely know!" She says, "I'm happy for you I really am. But I just don't know what to think, I don't want you doing this because you feel pressured by everyone."
"It's not like were making future plans, we're seeing each other." I huff, "I'm not doing this to please anyone Chez, I want to be with Steven because that's what I want. Ye get it?"
"Yeah love." She tuts pulling me towards her, "Just be careful yeah?"
"What do I need to be careful about eh?" I mutter wrapping my arms around her.
"I just don't want you to get hurt." she sighs,
"And ye think Stevens going to hurt me?" I ask, smirk at her "He's tiny compared to me." I let a laugh escape my mouth,
She shakes her head, "Not what I meant Bren, what if he breaks your heart? What then?" She asks.
"Do I look like the type of guy that gets his heart broke?" I sigh, trying to keep a straight face,
"It can happen to anyone." She tries to explain, "All I'm saying is you might be thinking this is wonderful but you might fall for him, I already know your starting to. It's just Ste might not, this could just be something casual for him.."
"Ye told me to give him a try, ye even went round to his house after all that in the pub." I huff, "and ye told me to invite him tonight, what exactly do ye want me to do?"
"I'm not saying cut contact, I'm saying take it easy."
"Can we just get off this subject?" I ask blocking the conversation from going any further for another time.
She doesn't look happy about it but she gives in, I give a triumphant smile to her as she walks back out my room, leaving my phone sitting on my desk.
Ste's point of view
I don't know what it is today but I can't seem to wake up, I'm just feeling shattered. The only thing keeping me awake is the fact I'm meeting up with Brendan later, the day drags in slowly but eventually it's nearing eight o'clock and I head out the door towards the pub. When I get there Brendan's already sat at a table I walk up to him and he gives me a flirty smile.
I take a seat beside him and he puts his arm round the back of my chair while leaning in and giving me a soft peck on the lips. The public affection is something I've never really been into but with Brendan I don't mind people seeing him kissing me, maybe then I won't see anyone trying to get with him tonight which needs to be a plus.
"Alright" I smile at him,
"Hey" he replies softly, "got ye a drink, vodka and coke?" he says pointing towards a glass at the table.
I lift it up and take a small sip of it, "Tah" I murmur, looking up at him through my eyelashes.
He grins at me, there's something different about him that I've not noticed before. He seems more jittery, almost nervous. Cheryl comes over and wraps her arms around me,
"Ste love! It's good to see ye." she exclaims,
"Yeah you too Cheryl." I grin at her when she pulls away.
The conversation goes on swiftly for the next while but then Cheryl says something that makes me choke on my drink.
"So Ste, how many boyfriends ye had?" She asks it in such a casual way but I can tell she's wanting to know.
"Proper boyfriends?" I ask to which she nods "Ehh two."
"Aww that's not to bad then is it Bren?" she slurs looking at Brendan who's got a vacant look on his face avoiding eye contact with us all.
"How long have ye known ye were gay for?" she says not taking her eyes from me.
I squirm under her attention "Ehh I've been out for about three years, maybe." I knew there was going to be a time when I would tell Brendan this stuff but I didn't think it would be his sister asking.
"Ooh, so have ye been with many people?" she asks and that one throws me of guard.
Brendan slams his hand on the table, not hard enough to cause any disturbance but enough to make a thud, "That's enough Chez!" He hisses,
Cheryl pouts, "Well you we're never gonna get round to asking were you?"
The question hangs in the air before Lynsey comes in, apologising about being late. I stare down at the table biting on my lip, I can feel Brendan's eyes on me and eventually the pressure gets the better of me. He gives me an apologetic smile before nodding his head towards the toilets.
We both stand up at the same time, "I need the toilet," we both say at the same time and I smirk at him while he raises an eyebrow. There's no point mentioning it anyway, Cheryl and Lynsey are to busy going on about a girl in the pubs dress, it's way to short apparently. We go into the bathroom and Brendan pulls me close to him before giving me a quick deep kiss,
"Sorry about Chez." He mutters while looking down at the floor,
"It's alright," I smile at him "She's just lookin out for ya."
"Being a pain more like, she doesn't know when to shut up sometimes." Brendan says looking up at me with a small smile. "It's good to know ye don't get scared off that easily."
"Yeah?" I say before he catches his mouth with mine, I feel his hands all over me, touching and squeezing and I'm doing the same to him while we're both moaning into each others mouths.
He pushes me back towards a cubical and smirks before grabbing me for another heated kiss, I unzip his trousers and slowly start to stroke him. Root to tip, root to tip until I build up a rhythm going faster with each stroke, Brendan thrusting into my palm moaning my name in between kisses and fuck, it turns me on being able to make a man like Brendan get like this.
This uncontrolled, desperateness releases in him nearly every time were intimate with each other. When he comes it's hard and he watches as I lick it off my hand never once taking my eyes away from his. He pulls my head towards him and goes in my mouth deep with his tongue before pulling away and getting down on his knees.
"Time to repay the favour" he says voice sounding low and husky.
He pulls down my joggy bottoms and boxers in the one tug, down to my knees, revealing my hard member already with pre cum oozing out the slit.
Straight away his lips are over it and it's such a surprise, a high pitched squeal leaves my mouth. Brendan looks up at me and I swear I can see a smirk on his face then starts sucking faster then slower. Teasing me, I cum before I expect and Brendan swallows it down as like he wants even more of it.
He smiles at me, a right toothy grin and I decide that's my favourite smile. It sounds cheesy but it's true and I can't help it.
"Mine?" I ask he doesn't reply just nods, "So much for no sex eh?"
He looks at me before saying "Monday." As if that explains it all, "I'll meet ye outside, I'll tell Chez we're leaving," he smiles at me.
I head outside and wrap my jumper around me, it's colder than what it's been recently, soon enough I feel strong, warm arms around me and I know they're Brendan's. I turn and smile up to him before he tugs at me to move and we walk back to mine.
I have a smile on my face the whole way there, and right now nobody would be able to wipe it off my face.
