"You'll have to come out eventually," I laughed. I felt bad for teasing Bella so much, but it can't be helped.
"Nope. I live here now," she said.
"Stop being silly. Just come out, and I'll take you home," I said.
Bella's P.O.V.Ugh! Why is he doing this to me? He had ignored me for years and called me annoying, and now he is teasing me and flirting with me. Who is annoying now?Stupid Aaron.If it had been in the past, I would've been happy to get h
Okay, I'll admit it. I went back and reread the letter so that I could mess with her. It was too much fun to watch her squirm and turn red like a cute little tomato. It's not like she was all innocent. The things she wrote in that letter made me blush too.I might've gone too far by touching her like that at the movie theater, but she didn't look like she hated it either."Sorry, guys, the refill line was long," Damien whispere
I put the picture down and watched her carefully. Her face was flushed, and it looked like tears would fall off her eyes any second. She was upset, for sure.I walked to her immediately and wrapped my arms around her. "I won't leave you alone when you are crying," I said quietly."S...sorry, I didn't mean to overreact," she sniffled.
Bella's P. O. V.I guess we are friends now.For the next few days, things were simple. We said hi to each other and made small talks. I saw him at college or Jake and Jane's place. He kept his promise and didn't hit on me or touch me anymore.
At first, I decided to try and move on with my life and not pursue Bella anymore. Even though I didn't believe her when she said she didn't like me anymore. I wasn't the type of guy to chase after a girl, so I kind of let things take its natural course.Until the moment Damien asked her out, and she said yes. I was burning with jealousy. I imagined Damien touching her and kissing those lips, and it made me so angry I wanted to jump up and choke him. I started to feel the old angry Aaron resurfacing, so I held myself back. I di
"Aaron, wake up!"I jolted awake as someone shook me. I opened my eyes and stared into the bright blue eyes of Bella Davis."Freckles? What are you doing here?" I said in a daze.
Bella's POVSaturday night.I was getting ready to go out with Damien.
"Cut it out!" Bella whined."I am dead serious," I said and stared at her intensely. I am done being nice. I am going to take what I want, and that was Bella. "You belong to me from now on." I was partially joking. I wasn't some insane self-absorbed prick who thought he could just snatch her away, but I wanted to mess with her a little.
"Shit, you are drenched. Let's get you out of this dress," I said."You just want me to get naked, so you can take advantage of me," Bella giggled."I'm just trying to look out for you. Get your mind out of the gutter," I chuckled and flicked her forehead. She yelped and rubbed her forehead.
Bella's POVI inhaled the sweet smell of his cologne as he held me against his body. I couldn't look him in the eyes and tell him I didn't love him and didn't want to be with him. It was impossible, and it would've been a lie.I almost yelled at him again but stopped as Jake and Jane walked in.
"Don't talk to her again," Bella ordered as we stopped in front of my car."Who? Sally?" I said."Sally or Bridget or whatever her name is. Just stay away from her," she said."Why, are you jealous?" I smirked.
I smirked as Bella kept stealing glances at me during the rehearsal dinner. I purposely sat apart from her, but on her opposite side.Things turned slightly sour once my dad and stepmom arrived. I could feel the air of hostility between Bella and him this time. Funny how I never noticed it before.I approached him after dinner. "Hey dad, there's something we need to discuss. About Bella," I said.
Bella's POV"UUGGHH!" I screamed in frustration."Um...okay...I won't pick Lilies as my wedding flowers if it's that much of a problem to you," Jane commented."No...it's not you. I am just...so frustrated! Ugh!" I exclaimed.
"Leave me alone!" Bella tried to avoid my question and get out of bed, but I pushed her back down. She is not going anywhere without giving me some answers."Not before you tell me what's going on? You almost killed me, for fuck's sake!" I exclaimed."I wasn't going to let you die," she said as she struggled underneath me.
Bella's POVI couldn't talk to Bridget. She saw me approaching and ran away.I met Bridget at the hospital. We became best friends in a short amount of time, but then she was released earlier. We kept in touch afterward for a little while, but then she suddenly stopped talking to me. I see her in my area now, but she didn't even bother to contact me? I felt suspicious.
"Whoa...this cabin is freaking awesome!" Jake exclaimed."Except for that," one of his college buddy Shawn pointed at the moose head that hung on the wall, staring at us accusingly."I think it's kind of cool. The owner must've been a hunter," I shrugged.
"I don't know what to say. There must be some mistake. I didn't put that picture there. Why would I!" I exclaimed.My boss watched my face intently. I bet I looked like I was on the verge of tears. This was my job. Sure it was only a desk job at the moment, but it had the potential to become more."You've been a reliable employee since day one, which is why I'm having a hard time believing you could do something so childish lik
