It Started With A Text (Bryles)

F O U R - Is It A Date

Lil B:
You never replied. Everything alright?

Me:
Come meet me today!

Lil B:
Uh.. Sorry. What?!

Me:
If you're free, I'm going to be at the beach at 3pm. Come meet me!

Lil B:
I thought you just wanted to talk over the phone. Why do you want to meet me now??

Me:
I want to meet the girl on the other end of the phone. Just bring your swimsuit and a towel. I'll see you at 3pm :)

Lil B:
Fine.. But just you know, I'm bringing pepper spray!!

Me:
Hahaha😂😂

Me:
Whatever makes you feel comfortable lil B

Lil B:
See you in 3 hours x

Why had I sent a love heart, & arranged to meet a complete stranger on the beach? I had no idea, but I was excited. Excited & nervous.

I had been texting Briar for a week now, & she was all I could think about. I didn't even know the girl, but I wanted to get to know her. I might be a popstar, but Briar didn't seem like the type of person who'd care about a status.

I would have invited her out to lunch, but today was Tyson's day, & we were meeting Logan for the first time. This was my time to be there for him, & to be a good brother. I'd just have to wait until later on to meet Briar at the beach.

(Briar's POV)

Same day. 12:30pm

I invited Vic over to my house, as I needed someone to help me get ready for my date/hangout

I had almost text Logan asking her to come over, but remembered that she was meeting Tyson's family today. They had been on three dates, & she was already meeting Tyson's parents, & two brothers?? It must be serious!

Vic walked into my room, smiling at me excitedly. She had her makeup bag in one hand, & her hair product bag in the other. She had her duffle bag strap slung over her shoulder, most likely filled with clothes of various styles.

"Vic, you know I have enough makeup & things here, right? You didn't need to bring your whole bedroom." I joked, sticking my magazine down.

"I know, I know. But it's always good to be prepared." She replied dropping all her bags onto my bed with a loud, heavy thud.

"Right, so who is this guy? What does he look like? And what's the plan for your date?" she asked curiously, sitting beside me on the bed. "You were very bleak on details!" she whined, clasping my hands in hers.

"Vic, I don't think it's a date. He just wants to meet me, like in a 'friend' way." I replied, earning an eye roll from my feisty blonde friend.

"Girl, you are funny!" she replied, chuckling lightly.

"Anyway," I answered, rolling my eyes again. "His name is Myles, but I don't know what his last name is. He's like an 11/10, so DAMN hot!! And we're meeting at the beach at 3 o'clock." I explained, earning a mischievous grin from Vic.

"Beach? So he wants to see you in a bikini on the first date? Interesting!" Vic joked, smirking at me. I smacked her arm, probably a bit harder than I should have, but she was making me nervous.

"Are you going to help me get ready or not?" I asked, getting a bit annoyed. She laughed at my blushing, then hopped up, & started rummaging through her bags.
