Our Summer
Chapter 50
I
stared at him in shock. It didn’t make any
sense.
“Natalie,” Brayden said my
name again. Then he sighed. “Look, I know you like
Lucas.” He stood and walked over to me. “I could tell
from the very beginning. And obviously he was going to
fall for you – you’re gorgeous, and funny, and
nice,” Brayden spoke with more emotion and animation than I
think I’ve seen him exhibit since we met. “And those
eyes,” he sighed.
“Brayden,” I interrupted.
“Thank you, but – it’s just,” I fumbled
for words. “I like him,” I finally
whispered.
“I know,” he sighed.
“Give me a chance? Just think about it,” he
pushed.
I shook my head. I couldn’t agree.
“There’s nothing to think about,” I told him.
“You ditched me at that party, and Lucas came to get me.
You ditched us for Addy all the time. On my birthday, you
didn’t talk to me until Addy left, while Lucas went out of
his way to make it special.”
“I know that Lucas has been really
nice to you – but face it. He’s not mature enough for
a real relationship.”
“What do you mean?” I asked,
although I wasn’t sure if I wanted to
know.
“This is just a summer fling. Once
you leave, he’ll forget about you.”
“Oh, thanks! I’m that
forgettable?” Tears sprung unwanted to my
eyes.
“No, that’s not what I
meant!”
“Well what did you
mean?”
“I meant… long distance
relationships are hard, and I don’t think Lucas could
handle it.”
“And I supposed you think you
could?” I said, hoping I wouldn’t start to
cry.
“I’d like to try,” he
told me. I studied him – his brown hair was a little fuzzy
and tousled. His bright blue eyes shined with intensity. There
was a shower of freckles across his cheekbones and nose. He was
handsome, that was for sure.
But he wasn’t
Lucas.
“I’m sorry,” I turned
and fled down the stairs.
AN: So, Natalie chose Lucas (not that anyone
could've expected much different), but Brayden sure did try
pretty hard to put some doubts in her mind. Do you guys think
she's going to listen to him and let what he said get to her,
or is she going to let it go? ;) You'll have to find out.
Thanks so much for reading. Have an amazing day.
