One shots

Project Bryles (3)

Briar's pov:

I stood nervously next to Jessy clad in a yellow dress which, now that i thought about it, was way too short and tight. Damn it. I should've bought a long dress like Jessy was wearing. I can still back out of this, i can just turn around and go to my hotel room. With that i mind i turned around and began walking to the stairs.

At least that was the plan, but from the moment i turned around a hand clamped down on my forearm. I looked up from the manicured hand into Jessy's eyes. "What do you think you're doing? The guys will be here any minute!"

Thanks for the reminder Jessy. Now i wanted to leave even quicker, he can't see me like this. Myles is going to think I'm desperate. "I think i ate something bad, i feel a little sick..." i lie, rather unconvincingly.

Jessy raised her eyebrows, giving me a one over. "You don't look very sick to me. Stunning, that's what you look. And Myles is going to love it, he loves formal thing like this. Remember that if he acts poorly, he was the one to ask you out. And from what i heard from Tanner he sent you a text straight away. If anyone's desperate it's him."

I take a deep breath taking her words in. She's right! It's not like i begged him to go with me. Myles was the first one to sent a text out of all the boys. Though if he hadn't asked me i would probably sit in my room crying, i had been waiting for his text the moment i knew about the ball. I really am pathetic.

I nodded at her and resumed my spot beside her, not-so-patiently waiting for the boys to arrive. Jessy was going with Tanner, Abi with Josh but who was my sister going with? I can't believe she didn't tell me and that i hadn't asked. "Abbey" i exclaim loudly with wide eyes, "who're you going with?"

She looked at me a little smugly. "Now you realise you haven't talked to me ever since Myles asked you out? Tss. But i get it, love blinds you. And it seems like it also deafens you." Then she started to look sheepish. "I'm going with Tyler. We though it would be a good idea to make our bond stronger for the trio..."

I was just about to reply when the door opened. In walked all the boys and while they al looked good, my eyes strayed to Myles the moment he walked in. His outfit was simple but nice. But maybe my opinion wasn't entirely objective, if he can wear a leopard pants with a zebra T-shirt on it and i would probably say he looked nice.

When i looked into his eyes i could see that he was checking me out while moving closer. Was it just me or was everyone pausing what they were doing to watch this progress? His mouth opened a little but he quickly recovered, giving me a dazzling smile that mad my insides go mushy. "You look dashing my lady." He said bowing down like i was a princess before extending his arm, "Shall we."

I wrapped my hand around his arm giving him a grin in return. "We shall" i looked around me to see everyone looking at us with happiness etched on their faces. I motioned at them to go and we walked into the dancing hall.

This is going to bean interesting evening.

**

We all sat around a table. Myles was fetching drinks from the bar, the chair empty beside me. When i turned around there was suddenly a guy next to me. Not very handsome but not ugly either. He wore a creepy smile on his face, an expression i didn't trust for a second. This guy only wanted one thing and i was not going to give it to him.

"Hi." He said extending his hand.

I ignored his hand: "hey." I said not very enthusiastic. I really hoped Myles was almost back. It seemed like the only thing that was going to hold him back was someone he respected, and by the looks of it that wasn't going to be a woman. I looked at Jessy for help.

Jessy took the hand that was still extend, "Hiya! I don't think i have seen you here?"

"Oh i am not competing. I'm the son of the organisator of this dance." Great he was also rich. Jessy was going to answer him but suddenly a slow song came on. Tanner inmediatley grabbed her hand pulling her on the dance floor. So did the rest of all the guys. Great now i don't have a chance against him.

He turned to me, with the smile still on his face. "Wanna dance?"

I shook my head: "No thank you, my date can be here any moment now." I politely refuse. I didn't even know his name.

The wasn't going to give up that easily though. "Come onnn, i am sure he won't mind." When i kept refusing the smile left his face. "Don't you think i know what is going on? You are playing hard to get. I am not the type of guy who enjoys suck games. You probably don't even have date." He growled.

I was getting seriously scared now. I slided my chair away from him. He stood up coming over to me and grabbing my forearm in painfully tight grip. "You are going to dance with me while you wait for your so called date. I'm not leaving before i see him."

Tears started to built in my eyes. "What do you think you are doing?" Hissed Myles. Yes thank god for answering my prayers.

"Chill, was just going to dance with her while we waited for her nonexistent date." The guy said, tightening the grip on my arm.

I whimpered lowly, but loud enough for Myles to hear i guess because a second after he wrenched the hand of my arm and pulled me with my back pressed against his chest. I closed my eyes i relief. "Well you don't have to wait much longer, because here i am. You can leave right now." Myles fumed, leading me away and to the dance floor.

Arriving there i turned around and pressed my head against his chest in a silent thank you. My hand clasping his shirt. "Thank you so much Mylo!"

He wrapped his arms around my waist hugging me closer. "I should have been here much sooner. Imagine what would've happened if i hadn't showed up in time! Where were all the guys?"

"They are on the dance floor. It's not their fault, i don't think they expected i would get harassed in the 5 minutes you weren't here" i replied softly. I don't need him to be angry at the rest of the team.

He didn't answer, just pulling me the closest he could. We stayed like that for two songs as close to each other as possible swaying from side to side. That's when i got a message. I could feel the vibrations trough the fabric of my dress and purse.

The message wasn't what i was expecting though not at all. Amd the moment i read it i wished that i had left my phone in the room. Now i ruined a perfectly fine evening. I putted my phone on stand-by, and i could see Myles starting to ask questions. I cut him of with a hug, i practically jumped him. And as he tried to keep his balance my tears stared to pour out of my eyes.

He hugged my just as close, murmuring reassuringly. It wasn't going to be okay though, not at all.
