I didn't have any plans today, so I decided to stay home and napped. It felt like it has been a while since I got to stay home and relax. That was when Jake called me and asked me to hang out with him at his apartment.
At first, I was going to say no, but I changed my mind. Ever since Macie and I broke up, I've been kind of lonely, so I figured why not. Jake can always cheer me up.
"Don't do this to me, Bella. I need you!" I said and looked at her desperately."No," she looked at me, unwillingly to change her mind."If I don't have the boardwalk, I won't be able to build more hotels!" I exclaimed.
I woke up in the morning feeling pain in my back. Stupid couch. I would rather sleep in a nice soft bed, next to a pretty redhead. I smirked at my own ridiculous thought.I wondered how much of last night she remembered. Probably forgot everything, I sighed.I decided to go check on her. Jane went to work, and Jake had a morning class, so I was left alone with Miss drunken mess.
"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
