The Other Bell (EDITING)

Chapter 2

Tree house above! I wish I had one of these 😩

• Bella's Pov •

We climbed through the makeshift door we made, and Caleb already had the twinkle lights on. Music was also playing in the background softly. Our treehouse has been here for about 2 years now. We built it out of wood my dad left around from building our garage. We both found furniture and old blankets to decorate it with, including some Christmas lights my mom didn't want anymore.

"I, uh brought you something Bella" Caleb said interrupting my thoughts.

"Really? what is it" I asked getting up and sitting next to him on the couch. He reached over and pulled out a small pale blue box with my name carved in it.

"This is for your birthday, I forgot to get you something and you looked sad after I didn't get you anything, So here" he said handing it to me. I opened it and there was a small necklace in it. My mouth dropped. It was a navy blue diamond incrested heart with my name on it in cursive.

"Turn it over" Caleb said. I turned it over and read 'I Love You Bella' in thick black letters.

"Awe Caleb! I love it" I yelled. He smiled then took it out of my hands. I turned my back to him and moved my hair. He hooked it around my neck. "This is awesome" I said looking down at it.

"I knew you would like it" he said. I looked at him and he smiled. We stood up and I squeezed him. He wrapped his hands around my waist and hugged back.

"Bella" Caleb whispered. I looked up and realized I was still squeezing him.

"Sorry" I let go and he took a big breath. I giggled and sat back down. "LAST ONE UP HAS TO PUT THE MOVIE IN!" I yelled. He groaned but went to pick out a movie anyway. I got comfortable on the couch then Caleb came and sat next to me. The movie started and Caleb leaned on me. I smiled and watched the movie.

About an hour in to the movie,

"Caleb!!" I yelled.

"Tell me you love me and I will stop tickling you" he said. I brought up my knees to my chest and pushed his chest away.

"Since when did you become this strong woman!" he laughed rubbing his chest.

"Since always" I shrugged. He laughed then picked me up and threw me other his shoulder.

"CALEB!!" I yelled. He laughed then sat me down. I pinched his nipple and twisted it.

"That's what you get for tickling me!" I snapped. He smiled then sat in the chair.

"It's already seven Caleb" I said.

"Wow.." he replied. He signed knowing it was time for me to go home. I smiled then I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him another hug.

"Goodnight my Bell" he said. I smiled then kissed his cheek. We let go of the embrace then I climbed down the ladder.
