More than friends- Brierson

More of the party 🎉

Brent POV

I can't believe that just happened. I can't stop smiling. Neither can she.
I keep looking at her, just making me smile more. She looks so happy. That makes me happy.
As we went back downstairs into the crowd, I looked over and saw the Lexis watching us. I ignored them and we kept walking.
P: What should we do now?
Br: Conversate? I don't know.
As if I had summoned someone, Jeremy came over.
J: Whats up Brent?
He kept glancing between me and Pierson.
Br: The sky.
Jeremy ignored me.
J: Hi, I'm Jeremy.
He stuck his hand out to Pierson.
She shook it.
P: I'm Pierson.
J: So what were you two doing upstairs?
Br: Exchanging Christmas presents.
J: Ohh I see.
Br: Yep. So why'd you come over here?
J: I just wanted to.. ya know, talk. And meet your girl.
I smiled at the thought of Pierson being classified as 'my girl.'
J: And Ben told me to remind you about the tradition we do every year. We're doing it in 10 minutes.
Br: What tradition?
J: The one where we go in a circle and compliment the people beside us.
Br: Oh yeah.
P: Thats a Christmas tradition?
Br: Yeah, at this party. Christmastime is a prime time to spend with loved ones.
J: Yep.
He still kept looking between us.
Br: Okay, we're gonna go talk to someone else now.
I didn't wait for him to answer. I just grabbed Pierson's hand and pulled her with me. I realized that I do that a lot. That may or may not just be a way to get her hand in mine. I brought her over to the snack and drink table.
Br: You hungry?
P: I'm a little thirsty.
Br: There's punch in the bowl but if you don't like punch, theres soda in the fridge. Or, if you don't like soda, theres also milk. And if for some reason you don't like milk, theres water-
I stopped when she put her hand on my shoulder.
P: Punch is fine, but it's cute when you do that.
Br: Do what?
P: Talk like I make you nervous.
Br: You do.
She grinned at me.
P: Glad to be of service.
She did a curtsy like princesses do.
I laughed.
She turned around and got punch out of the bowl.
P: Do you want some?
Br: Sure.
She gave me the cup in her hand, then got another for her.
She took a sip.
P: This is good.
I did the same.
Br: It is.
P: Where'd you get it from?
Br: My mom picked it up for us.
P: Speaking of your mom, where is she?
She looked around the room.
Br: She's not here. Every year she leaves us the house to ourselves to party. She knows we won't do anything illegal and she comes back when its over.
Pierson sighed.
P: It must be nice to have parents that give you space.
Br: I saw your mom yesterday when she answered the door. She let me talk to you.
P: Oh believe me, she was straining her ears to listen. I live in a household of nosy people.
Br: That must suck but I have the most nosy sister on the planet.
P: True.
I turned and walking away, hoping Pierson would follow me.
P: What- Brent! Where are you going?
I looked over my shoulder and saw her following me.
I went in the kitchen.
Br: This is what I like to do when I get some good punch.
I opened the fridge and got out whipped cream. I sprayed in on my punch.
Br: Mmm.
Pierson made a face.
P: On your punch? Gross.
Br: Its good, try it.
P: No.
Br: Yes.
I got out another whipped cream thing we had in the fridge and handed it to her.
Br: Go ahead.
Instead of putting it on her punch, she sprayed it in her mouth.
P: Mmm.
I copied her and did the same thing.
Br: Pretty good.
P: Open wide.
She held up the whipped cream. I opened my mouth and she sprayed it on my nose.
She started laughing.
Br: Oh yeah?
I sprayed some in my hand and then threw it at her.
She turned around and it hit her back.
P: It is on.
I don't know how long it was going on, but soon enough we were both covered in whipped cream, laughing so hard we could barely breathe.
??: Um, what happened to you two?!
We turned around and saw Lexi r.
We just both laughed more.
Lr: That's so cute. But you guys are covered head to toe in.... Whatever that is.
Br: We'll change. C'mon Pierson.
I grabbed her hand again and we went upstairs to my room. On the way up the stairs, I saw everyone watching us. This will be fun explaining.
When we got to my room, I went over to my drawer.
Br: I don't think we have time to shower but we can wash up in my bathroom.
P: Okay, but I don't have any clothes to change into. I have a tank top underneath this sweater but thats all.
Br: Don't worry about it. I have clothes for you to wear. They'll probably be really big though.
P: That's fine.
I looked at the floor and started laughing.
Br: We're tracking whipped cream everywhere.
She laughed.
P: Oops. Lets just quickly change.
Br: Good idea. Let me get you some pants and a jacket. You might be cold in just a tank top.
P: Its not that, its just that this is a Christmas party and I don't think a tank top is very suitable.
Br: Suit yourself.
I opened the drawer and rummaged through to find Pierson some clothes.
