Because

Brad...

Isla’s POV.

...

Why do those dots make me nervous. Brads reply came as a shock. He was going to help me find who sent this glowing necklace but I am intrigued what is an adrenaline junkie? I closed quick and went onto google and typed what is an adrenaline junkie. While reading the search results the  necklace went limp and the purple glow stopped. Confused I clicked back on the quick page I notice Brad was offline. That was quick how can I reply. He must genuinely just want to give me the information and that is all but why did he say something cheeky about the bakery? Am I reading into it wrong? Should I go or should I stay at home after all it is my birthday. 

I decided not to go because my family would panic if I went MIA on such an ‘important’ day. I helped set up the decorations and the food that doesn’t need to be cooked or refrigerated then went upstairs to shower and get ready after all I was being serious up’ by every family friend possible tonight like a lamb for slaughter. I thought I’d check my quick page to see if anyone had messaged. The notification badge highlighted blue 42 comments and 1 message. I clicked on the message hoping it was from Brad. It read ‘Happy birthday Hunni xcitd to meet ur man. 18 woohoo Anti Ro.’ Eurgh! Why couldn’t she type properly it’s not like she isn’t good with her spelling and grammar she is a uni graduate but chooses to act cool. I rolled my eyes she knows I don’t have a ‘man’ but still insists on embarrassing me. I decided not to reply and felt disappointment that it wasn’t from Brad. 

I was in the shower when I heard ‘ting’ ‘ting’ ‘ting’ I opened my eyes confused by the ringing of my normally silent phone getting shampoo suds in my eyes. I reached for the towel wiped my eyes and now as my hand were dry I thought I’d quickly check my notifications. All from quick, 3 new messages the app read. 

Brad: 

Hey!

Brad: 

I was hoping to see you today. 

Brad: 

I mean I get it I know it is your birthday who was I kidding you would want to be running errands today! If you like I can drop the info off to you today. I have your address are you free around 7? 

I noticed the locket was glowing purple on the side. Confused I typed out a reply as I was in the shower. 

Isla: 

Sounds good! If you don’t mind? I am having a party tonight people will be here 7 but if you’re dressed appropriately you can join (I have a very picky family) I warm you and apologise in advance! 

I x 

I clicked send them it registered I had typed x I went a light shade of red and fumbled with my phone accidentally clicking on Brads profile picture. I noticed he had changed it from him standing on the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to him in his swimmers. Boy did he look good! I felt the sensation between my thighs again! I dropped my phone and it slide into the dry sink. 

Nothing I could do now so I started to shower myself again. 

The warm water trickling down my breasts, past my stomach and onto my v****a intrigued my curiosity. I slowly and hesitantly started to make a circular motion with my fingers. What was this feeling. I started to become warmer, my breathing changed and my body was tingling. 

Crash!!! I jumped out of my skin letting a little squeal out when I heard giggling. It was my sister.“ Mum said hurry up guests will start arriving soon and you’re supposed to be hosting, she also said there are a LOT of single men so look your best and wear the blue dress!” 

 She emphasised a lot which made me roll my eyes and I thought again of Brad. What was it about him, the necklace and the amazing feeling between my thighs. Being a virgin (which I hated to admit) I was beyond confused. I quickly finished up got dressed How my mother said and went to down stairs.
