Brianna saw the hand reach around from behind her and heard the credit card slap down on the counter. She turned, half horrified and half grateful. When she saw Bradyâs face, her stomach knotted. What was he doing here?
She shook her head. âI canât let you do that.â
âYou can and you will,â he said. âBecause youâre going to share it with me. If we can get to it before it melts into a puddle.â He reached to take it from her hand, then licked it around the edges.
How gross is that? Brianna let out a groan, more for effect than anything else. âNow youâre going to have to eat the whole thing.â
âNo, Iâm not.â
Unbelievable.
Then again, he was paying for her ice cream. Once again heâd swept in and saved the day. How many times was he going to do that?
The kid behind the counter swiped Bradyâs card and waited on the machine to respond.
âHow did you know I was here?â Brianna asked. Then, knowing the answer in her heart, added a quick, âNever mind. Skip that.â
âIt was right of her to tell me,â Brady answered, taking a nibble from the edge of the cone. âI know youâre upset at me, and I want to get to the bottom of it.â
She crossed her arms. âI never said I was upset.â
âYou didnât have to.â
The clerk started to hand Brady his credit card. But then he glanced down at the name on the card and back up again into Bradyâs face.
âHey, youâre Brady Campbell.â
âUh ⦠yeah.â Brady took the card and shoved it into his wallet then handed the cone to Brianna.
âOur new starting quarterback. From Tampa.â
Brianna groaned. Would it always be like this when Brady was around?
âI saw the press conference. My name is Kevin Nelson. I play for North Hills High School.â
âThatâs great,â Brady said with a smile.
He gestured to a table across the room, and Brianna, grateful to be away from the kid behind the counter, headed over to it. She sat down and began to lick the edges of the cone to keep the drips from landing in her lap.
In spite of an incoming crowd of teenagers, the kid whoâd waited on them seemed intent on staring. Even from across the room she saw him pull out his cell phone. Was he making a call? Brianna tried to ignore him, but he seemed to have the crazy thing pointed straight at them.
She jabbed Brady in the arm. âWhat is he doing?â
Brady turned around, and the clerk pressed a button on his cell phone. A camera.
She slapped herself in the head. âI canât take you anywhere.â
âThings will simmer down soon. Once the dust settles from the media hype, Iâll just be an average Joe.â
âSomehow I doubt that.â
âCan you tell me why youâre suddenly so upset at me? Is it because I didnât tell you who I was?â
A wave of guilt washed over Brianna as she saw the confused look in his eyes. What had he done to her? And yet she must say something; otherwise, he might go on staring her down for the rest of the night.
