~Am I the only one who ever feels insecure about their writing? Yes? Okay. Onto the story~
I forgot to mention on the other chapter how much I appreciated everyone's comments. Comments make me so happy because it means that I get to know how I'm doing and what you guys think is very much important to me. Thank you so much!
Guest person, if you can tell me a legitimate reason as to why I should not add a lesbian couple, I'll think about it. (But lesbians are so lovely!)
(not everything is as it seems c:)
[Brady's Pov]
It didn't take him very long to find Lela. She'd been a few minutes away from Big Momma's, near a bonfire with the rest of the Biker Crew. Brady waved at her and smiled when her face lit up immediately. She beckoned for him to come over.
"I've been looking for you," he said as he came to a stop in front of her.
Lela gave him a confused look, but anticipation was there too. "Why?"
"I wanted to know if you would like to..." Brady trailed off, unsure of what to say as he glanced around in search of something for them to do. He hadn't thought about that on the way over because his mind was consumed with other things, namely the girl standing in front of him who was looking more and more confused by the second.
"I, uh, wanted to know if you would like to go on a walk with me?" He counted it as a win when she nodded enthusiastically and gave him a bright smile.
"But I have to tell Butchy first, he gets so worried about me!" Lela skipped off towards her brother.
He could only make out a few words of their conversation like "you," and "surfer," and "idiot." Lela was nodding to what he said, though he could see the clear annoyance in her eyes. When they finished talking, Butchy tussled her hair in an affectionate brotherly way and she was back over to him.
She leaned against him and slipped her hand in his, content. Brady allowed a small smile to slip onto his face and tightened the grip on their hands slightly. He glanced back to see if Butchy was watching, but instead caught him heading towards a secluded spot with Lugnut, both standing a bit closer to each other than necessary.
That was new.
[Mack's Pov]
Mack found Tanner sitting on the boulder a few ways away from the lighthouse. He was gazing out at the ocean while he drummed his fingers against his thigh. Mack took a deep breath and made her way over to him, touching his shoulder to let him know that she was there.
Tanner turned to her and laced their fingers together, gently tugging her down so that she was next to him.
He smiled. "Glad you could make it."
She smiled back although she was a bit uncomfortable. He wasn't supposed to look at her like that, with those light blue eyes that stared down at her. Mack averted her gaze.
"So," she started, watching as the waves crashed against sand. "How've you been since Brady and I left?"
Tanner looked thoughtful. "Fine. After you guys left, everything was okay for a couple of months and I was happy, but then Lela and I broke up and everything went down the drain."
He glanced at her with a fond look. "But I'm more than happy ever since you guys came back."
Mack bit her lip. She didn't need to be a genius to figure out that he was talking about her. Tanner leaned closer, enough so she could feel his warm breath puffing against her cheek and she couldn't deny that she wasn't leaning in too, the temptation to kiss him unbearable. One of the reasons Mack was okay with her and Brady breaking up was because he was all fun less romance. She knew she could get that with Tanner.
Their faces were centimeters away, ready to connect (her breath hitched. Was it so bad that she wanted this?), but as she glanced to the side, she found Lela and Brady heading their way. Mack moved away abruptly and let his hand go, ignoring the twinge in her chest when he gave her a slightly hurt look.
"I-sorry," she finished lamely, giving him a false smile. Mack glanced over at Brady and found him discreetly pointing in the direction of Big Momma's.
"Hey, so are you hungry?" Mack asked him, tugging him to his feet. "We should go get something to eat."
She really hoped Brady hadn't seen anything.
[Brady's Pov]
Brady counted it as lucky when he found Mack and Tanner at the beach. Lela had been hinting at him to kiss her, and it took everything he could not to. He had successfully managed to get Lela into the shack, but her disappointed look made him feel guilty.
Mack and Tanner entered Big Momma's less than ten minutes after they did, and Brady forced a grin onto his face. "Look who just entered, we should go say hi!"
He saw her look over his shoulder and grimace, but he wasn't deterred as he pulled her towards their table. Brady slid into the seat next to Mack and nudged her slightly. He really hoped that this would go well and set everything back on track, even if he didn't want it to.
Brady and Mack left the shack for a moment after a half hour. They had gotten nowhere because both of the movie teens were persistent in paying attention to the ones who had their interest. Needless to say, they were both exhausted. Lela had invited Mack to stay over at her house, and Tanner had done the same with him, so they resolved to call it a night.
"Try again tomorrow?" he asked, although his voice sounded exasperated. He didn't want to try again, all he wanted to do was wrap Lela in his arms and hold her close, like he'd imagined in the fifth grade, but if Mack wanted to get them together, that was what they were going to have to do.
"Whatever it takes," she replied tiredly. They shared a hug and then disappeared back into the shop.
Hopefully they could talk some sense into the pair of them.
(And hopefully...not.)
One of my favorite things to do is cockblock the main pairings. Anyway, I feel like I should set up a schedule as to when I'll update but I don't know if I'll stick to it :C I have been updating every ten days faithfully so far, so we'll see.
Yes, so, gay pairing in the next chapter I think, I don't know if this is for sure or not, but maybe. Like I mentioned in the beginning, not everything is as it seems :D
See you on the next chapter and don't forget to review, they mean the world to me :D I love hearing what you think.
