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.
"Open the door," I said gruffly after breaking the kiss."Not until you leave," Bella said weakly. Her breathing was shallow as if the kiss took her breath away."I won't leave. Give me the keys," I said. I knew I was most likely pissing her off with my demanding tone, but the asshole version of
I was arrogant and self-centered, and I paid the price with an injured arm. But I did I learn from this experience and decided to forget about Bella? Not really. If anything, it made my feelings even stronger. Because when I thought I was going to die, the only thing I thought about was her.The next day, I went to college with my cast on. I thought about skipping it, but I needed the chance to run into her there.
New Year's eve was here before we knew it. I didn't see Bella as much since I was busy with exams, and she started to date Damien. After the finals, I was finally able to take a breather. I didn't see Meghan all that much other than in our class. I wondered if she remembered ourplan.Two days before the party, I went to visit my parents for dinner. That's when I ran into Bella again. I was about to get in my car when she was outside getting the mail. She stopped and looked at me,
Bella's POVI may look calm from the surface, but I wasn't. I missed him even though I shouldn't. Damien is a great guy, and he has been doing everything right in terms of dating, but being with him didn't feel like anything special. He felt more like a good friend to me. An amazing friend, really.
Happy New Year!I looked around and didn't see Bella."You should go look for her," Meghan suggested."She is probably with Damien," I looked down.
