Bella Evans was in her room, sitting near the window and watching a movie when suddenly she heard opening the of door but she didn't budge to look at the person and kept her attention on the laptop screen only.She had always loved watching movies at weekends so she was enjoying her Saturday night with her all time favourite movie " Twilight ". She was so engrossed in it that she didn't even notice the person standing behind her until she put the cup of hot coffee at the window pane next to her.She looked at her, and could not thank enough to the woman who had always been there with her since she left Boston and settled in New York with Varonica Young. Yeah Bella wasn't living in Boston anymore and her aunt and uncle respected her decision, although she missed them a lot but can't give them frequent visits, to have a family time with them.Eric too had started speaking now, Bella wasn't able to handle her joy when for the first time after that dreadful car accident which had made him
Both paused and Varonica went to the window to see who had come. She jumped in excitement and spoke with a teasing smile, "Go Miss Bella Evans your Prince charming has arrived."Bella gave her a disbelieving look and after making herself presentable again and re-checking her makeup Bella went downstairs. Jacob handed her flowers and opened the passenger side door of the car for Bella. Both got sat and he drove off the car towards their destination he had planned.Hope this date will come with a good change. That was all Bella could wish for while looking at the breath-taking night view of the street from the window of the car.Bella was looking outside enjoying the surroundings and weather.Fresh breeze brushing her face, twinkling stars, it was impossible to take my eyes off it. But she tore her gaze from the sight and glanced at Jacob who tapped her shoulder to get her attention." We reached," he said with a cute smile.That was when she looked outside and noticed a restaurant. It
His both hands rested at her waist and pulled her towards himself leaving no space between them. He wrapped his strong arms around her, embracing her in his tight hug giving her the essence of his being but actually he was taking in her warmth." I missed you." That's all he managed to say with his voice slightly cracking.Bella for a moment was startled and she was confused as to what to do, for a split second she thought of hugging him back but then old harsh memories came back rushing in her mind and she decided against it.Ashton was waiting for her to wrap her arms around him but it never happened. Instead all he felt was a slight push which made him stumble a bit but he managed to stand still. He looked at her which met with her devoid eyes.Her expressions were unreadable, her blank stare was radiating cold. "How could she change? ", was the only question that rang in his mind. After two years they were in front of each other but it still felt like they were far apart.He hugge
Ashton was helpless. He didn't know and could do anything but regret. Regret the day when he thought he would vanish from her life after he won the bet and it won't even bother him. He didn't know that while making her fall in love, he would be the one falling harder and deeper.But he remained there, standing and not moving an inch, without blinking his eyes in fear that he would and Bella would no longer be there then. He was staring at Bella keenly, just her. Rest of the surrounding was blurred until Jacob kissed her forehead." You moron keep your lips to yourself." and he closed his hands into a fist.Ashton was all ready to go in and rain punches to distort Jacob's pretty face but when he saw Bella smiling at him. Floor slipped and Ashton felt like he was falling in a never ending tunnel. The anger he had for Jacob was replaced by hurt. Lastly the song ended and Bella couldn't be any more happier. Finally she was done with this whole dancing thing.Jacob kissed Bella's forehead.
Varonica was very happy to know that her best friend had a good time without knowing about the tornado named Ashton who had made his re-entry into Bella's life."He won't come again." was all Bella hoped for she didn't want a second encounter with Ashton at any cost.She went out of Bella's room to sleep in her room. Bella closed the door and tears started brimming in her eyes. Her silent sobs were taking a toll but she palmed her mouth, muffling her cries before they could turn worse.Her legs felt wobbly, they weren't able to hold the weight of her body, she leaned on the door and let her body slide down. She clutched her knees and took sharp breaths to steady her heart beat.I won't ever let you cry Bella.But who had known that one day Ashton would be the sole reason for every tear she shed. He promised to be the reason for her happiness but did otherwise. She knew it now but it was too late, she was broken already.You are my shining star Bella.But who knew he would be darkness
Sun had shown, screaming the start of the day. Most of the people in the city were out of their houses, going at their works and children going to school. There was hustle bustle all around like a normal day.Pretty normal right?Nah! There was Bella who was still in her bed covered with bedsheet and snoring heavily. Varonica was calling her from downstairs while preparing breakfast but after getting frustrated of calling out her name for like thousands times, she went up stairs.Varonica turned the knob and the door opened smoothly without any creaking sound. She palmed her face at the sight. Bella's room was in a complete mess.Popcorns were all over her bed while the half eaten pizza was lying on the floor and Bella was on her bed, wrapped in the sheets and in deep sleep.Splash!!Varonica emptied the whole jag of water on Bella and put the now empty jug back at the bed side table. Bella's eyes widened and she hurriedly sat on the bed in indian style with her eyes wide open and nos
That familiar musk perfume filled her nostrils. And Bella's heart beats raced rapidly, she felt the hot breaths at the nap of her neck and the shiver ran through her spine, giving her goosebumps. She didn't need to turn around to know who the person was as she knew there had always been this one person who had such an effect on her body and that familiar fragrance but still she was hoping for herself to be wrong. " Hello Miss Evans." but her hopes came crashing down when she heard the voice. It was him. It was Ashton Blair. Bella exhaled a heavy breath and turned with a poker face, all blank and didn't even flinch a bit. She held her head up to meet his eyes with full confidence while her fists clenched and teeth gritted. She was facing him now and when he looked in her eyes, there was something different in them which he wasn't able to interpret and that feared him. For the first time he wasn't able to catch on what was going through her mind. " Hello Miss Evans." he said again
Soon the delivery boy came with Ashton's order and was shocked by the huge tip Ashton gave him. Thanking him he vanished while Ashton closed the door and headed upstairs in his room to have his dinner with a happy face, after a long time.Bella was standing at the door step. Everytime she raised her hand to turn the knob but withdrew it in the mid way. She closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath, gathering strength she opened the door.Opening the door, Bella peeped inside to check if the way to my room was clear or not but to her dismay luck wasn't on his side the first thing her eyes caught was a familiar thin figure." what are you doing Bell?" Varonica looked at her suspiciously." What... What am I doing??? I am doing nothing.. Yeah nothing. Why are you asking me this?? Do you think I am upto something?? Oh come on Varonica how could you think about me like this. You are doubting me.. Like seriously. Our 6 years of friendship and you are still doubting me. " Bella pointed at he
Bella felt like someone had splashed her with ice cold water. As if someone had swept the ground from her feet, and she was falling to a never-ending tunnel. She couldn't believe what Ashton just told her would be an understatement. She was beyond shocked to the point that words certainly couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. And even though she had been trying to run away from him, hide from him all this time. Because she never wanted him back in her life. But now that she heard that he might marry some other girl, she felt like the man was slipping away from her. Going away from her life. And that's what she wanted all along. But now that it seemed to be coming true, she didn't like it? “So will you marry her?” Bella didn’t know why her heart was thudding loudly, ready to jump out its ribcage. She didn’t know if she wanted to hear the answer to that question. Her lips trembled with every word as she questioned him. And the question rolled out in impulse before she coul
"Shouldn't you be having breakfast right now? What are you doing here? Did you miss me so much that you followed me here? Awww! Bella, I didn't know you were this clingy." Ashton uttered while giving Bella a teasing smirk which did nothing except making her want to face-palm herself. This boy was seriously impossible."I shouldn't have bothered. I don't even know, why did I even ask!" Bella grunted and turned around in disbelief, ready to go back inside.Here she was so worried about him that she couldn't even swallow another bite of her sandwich and eventually gave up at pretending to be fine with Ashton leaving the table while fuming. But now the boy was cracking jokes. For god's sake what was wrong with him.Bella knew him well enough to know that he didn't like showing his emotions in front of others especially when something is hurting him rather, he would throw and break stuff like a little kid with tantrums. Either he would keep a poker face all the time or his veins would be p
"Ashton-!! What the hell are you doing?!" Bella shouted as her eyes widened at the sight of Ashton punching the wall vigorously like a mad man and Bella shuddered at it. She couldn't believe at what her eyes were witness. It was if the old Ashton was back. That monster Ashton.Surely Ashton was still an arrogant, narcissistic bastard who didn't give a fuck about others but she couldn't remember the last time when she had she seen the MONSTER ASHTON, the real monster fueling with rage and burning down everything coming his way. The monster Ashton who loved shattering things when in pain."Ashton- ASHTON!! ASHTON STOP IT." Bella could care less about staying away and avoiding Ashton at the moment as her feet marched towards own their own accord. Running quickly, she held his hand to stop him from hitting the wall anymore."Let go you fuck-..." Ashton yelled but his words died down in his throat when he saw who had dared to grab his hand. Of course, it couldn't have been anyone else but
Never in her life Bella had ever been this scared to eat breakfast with others. In fact, the chirpy girl she is, she had always enjoyed sitting together with her friends and family to eat with them and talk about anything and everything during that time which all of them spend together. But right now, to say she was terrified to even step out of her room was an understatement.Because she was embarrassed to death, she couldn't believe that she was drunk to the point that she was ready to lose herself in the electric current she felt with her body close to his. And the worst part, she was the one to initiate the physical intimacy and ironically Ashton was the one sane one to not take advantage of her intoxicated state. She had never felt this ashamed.Sure she liked how their bodies molded as one, how his lips felt on hers, how his strong arms wrapped around her into a warm embrace filling her up with a sense of security and maybe care, love? But that wasn't the point. The whole scenar
The most hardest thing for Bella was going to be to face Ashton after what blunder she had done. Regardless of her being drunk yesterday night or not. She still didn't know how to confront the man and what for.Like what could she possibly say. Her mind had short circuited and she couldn't think of any justifiable or at least convincing statement for her actions. For fuck's sake she couldn't comprehend it herself."We should forget it. Whatever happened yesterday. I mean you were drunk so were I. It was a mistake. Let's get past it, after all its a new day. New beginning. So, let's be cool about it and pretend like it never happened and be merry." Bella was trying to come up with a speech as she dried her hair with the blow dryer."Look, I am sorry Ashton. I was too wasted yesterday, I wasn't in my senses. What happened shouldn't have happened, frigging shit I shouldn't have come to your room to begin with. I just want to apologize for that. Can we go back to we were before that?" yea
"Ahh, my head feels like it will come burst." Bella was groaning as her head throbbed. It felt like someone was hammering nails in her head with no mercy. She was twisting and turning in bed to hide her face from the blaring sunlight which was piercing through the window but she felt as if she was encaged, a weight around her waist. And damn, the pillow was so uncomfortable. Aren't pillows supposed to be fluffy and soft, why this one was rock hard?The more Bella tried to stir in her sleep the more she felt like she was being pulled. Pulled towards something or someone, closer and closer. She felt a ticklish sensation as if someone was breathing close to her face and she started to freak out when she heard faint snores. It had her eyes open in an instant like cold water was thrown at her. Well, the situation in front of her surely gave her chills and her blood ran cold. She was all snuggled up to Ashton."Shoot! Why the hell am I freaking cuddling with Ashton. Heck, What have you don
"So who's going to start?" Bella slurred while her doe eyes stared at the person sitting right next to her with anticipation so how could Ashton could have denied when she seemed so hopeful and moreover when this time she was the one taking the initiative."Ermm.. I don't mind you can start." a smile adorned his face when Bella clasped her hands together in delight it sure was infectious because Ashton couldn't stop but mirror her excitement."Okay let me think." Bella cutely pursed her lips while tapping her finger under her chin in an attempt to rile her brain to come up with something cool and fascinating unaware of the fact that Ashton was already admiring her with the game being the last thing on his mind right now. All he could see at the moment was her it was as if everything else was blurred and sure enough drunk Bella had her own charm that held him captive."Never have I ever pole danced." Bella chided while looking at Ashton as her eyes blew wild when he took a sip from the
Ashton for sure was planning to get drunk and totally wasted because too many things were going on in his life for him to stay calm. Feeling always at the edge he felt like this party was his perfect chance to forget about how much of a fucked up he was. Well it was just a plan but that was until his father decided to call him, it just made his plan into something not out of choice but something he just had to do. Going back to where their barbecue was set up, Ashton picked up a whisky bottle from there again and took a swig. A groan escaped his lips at the sensation of whisky going down while burning his throat along the way. He wanted to enjoy this moment but there he was sitting at a corner with nothing except gloominess."How about some drink games?" Jenny suggested with a grin."Yeah there can't be any party without games." Kimberly joined in the agreement with enthusiasm while Sam too nodded in agreement and because Bella had enough of being copped up in her shell, she was ready
Tiny sand particles tickling his feet a little and leaving a cooling sensation, it felt good. He looked at his left where sat a bottle of whiskey which he picked up before ditching the so called party, the very bottle that he was so intrigued to mash someone's head with ahem - Sam. Well whiskey was more valuable. So instead he decided to make a better use of it which was looking at the waves crashing at a distance he brought the bottle to his lips and chugged it down while enjoying the view. Indeed a better use if not the best. Sure the things were going haywire but maybe he could let be for tomorrow and just listen to heart beating rhythmically with once waves. Even if just for a little moment, his heart felt at ease."What are you doing here?" Ashton turned his neck so fast at the familiar voice that he was sure it would have strained while he stared at the person standing in front of him with an array of emotions. "Nothing just..." he let his words float in the air without any cl
