Arranged Trouble

Parents

I made Axel stay for the rest of the night and make his food here. He went with simple food and made himself pasta.

It was now 7 pm and we were on the sofa, watching a movie. The blanket was spread across both of us, but we were sitting apart.

Axe paused the movie and turned to me, I was expecting him to ask for a drink or food maybe but that wouldn't make sense because he knows he can just go get it.

"When did we stop hating each other?" How random.

"How bold of you to assume I stopped hating you"

"Well, do you hate me?"

I didn't respond because...because well. I didn't hate him but we weren't like close or anything. We're not friends.

He moved up the chair, closer to me. "If you hated me you wouldn't even let me in your house"

"Oh shut up, if you don't want to be here then leave" I rolled my eyes and grabbed the remote but he stopped me, his hands were over mine and tightly. He yanked my arm making me lean forward, into him.

When I looked up his face was close to mine but he seemed to show no emotion. "I never said I didn't want to be here" He shook his head and leaned forward, our noses on the edge of touching.

"I just think you like pretending that you don't like me"

"Hate. Hate you" I corrected him. A smirk on his lips.

"Is there something wrong with my lips? You can always-" I pushed my spare hand over his mouth.

"Shut up" I could still feel the smirk under my hand. He randomly acts like this, so confident, well confident in that he's funny. Maybe it's his way of flirting? In that case...

I slowly slid my hand down, away from his mouth but down him, his body and I stared into his eyes as I did. The smirk was on my face now while his faded away, his eyes lost in mine.

Ok, it's true, this is fun and I understand why he does it all the time.

"There is something wrong with your lips" I stated, my voice echoing in the silent room. His eyebrows moved together in confusion and his mouth opened ready to speak but I carried on before he could.

"They never stop moving" I lifted my hand from him and moved it back to my lap, my smirk turned into a smile as I just turned off my teasing mode. I snatched the remote out of his hands while he was distracted.

Then the tv unpaused and I went back to watching the movie. Axe was still turned facing me, his mouth still wide open as he watched me.

It was Wednesday morning. Axe ended up sleeping on the couch, better than in my room this time. Especially because our parents made a sudden appearance early in the morning.

I was in my room when they came but I was woken up due to the commotion downstairs. They had noticed Axe on the couch and I think he scared them.

When I went down to check Axe was up from the couch explaining himself "Well, we had been watching a movie and I just stayed on the couch because it was late and"

My mum and dad started laughing before I did. He had got himself all nervous, itching the back of his neck and I swear I could see the sweat like you see in cartoons.

My dad spoke first "It's ok, son. We aren't mad or anything you just startled us is all." He patted Axe's shoulder, "Why don't you go home, your parents are probably wondering where you are"

Axe nodded and picked up his things, he looked at me for a minute, smiled and left out the front door.

"Did he only stay last night?" My mum was questioning me now, she turned with a smile all over her face. She knows.

I shook my head and headed to the kitchen. I decided I will go to school today, Adriel had just better stay away from me.

"Aww, he didn't stay on the couch every time, did he? He'll have a sore neck." She followed me into the kitchen, I shook my head again and went into the fridge for breakfast things.

My mum continued to question me. "So he stayed in your room...Or the guest room, you know that's embarrassing because we haven't done it up yet and..." She went on to a rant on how our guest room isn't suitable for guests at the moment.

After all my things were out I put yoghurt and extra toppings into the bowl. "No he didn't stay in the guest room" I rolled my eyes at my mum as I got a spoon out.

"He stayed in my room the other day and the day before" I left the kitchen to avoid more questions from her. I ended up getting more from my dad.

I swore to them nothing had happened, we just watched movies and fell asleep on my bed and the most that happened was getting under the covers and sleeping. They can't be that angry if we did something because they had been the ones to decide on OUR marriage.

The drive was outside waiting, with Axe already in the car waiting. When I got in the first thing I noticed was the baby, bag of flour in the car. The middle seat and the seatbelt around it.

"Awww, how had my baby been?" I pretend to baby talk with the flour.

"Good thanks"

I looked up to Axe, he was stupid. Really stupid. "Not you" I rolled my eyes and undid the seatbelt on the baby. "It's a bag of flour, it doesn't need that" I picked it up and moved it to my lap. I hadn't had it for a while.

"And what'll happen to it if it crashes?" He stupidly asks.

"What'll happen to us if we crash?" I corrected him, being smarter and better as per usual.

<3

I took the baby for the day, I hadn't had it or done anything with it in a while. Our project is due tomorrow so we will have to work on it all night.

This school day was going to drag. Scarlett's voice echoed from behind me as I walked up school drive.

"Bella! Where the hell have you been Loca?"

Twilight quotes for life am I, right? Scarlett's obsessed and team Jacob if you couldn't tell.

When I turned around she was already running into me, her arms wrapping around my neck.

"Hey" I was a lot calmer than her, giving her a smile back. "I was sick yesterday, sorry"

Her bottom lip came about but they played around into a smirk "after-party blues?"

She giggled and pushed me along the drive and into school. "How did it go with Adriel?"

I shook my head and made her let go of my shoulders "terrible, he"

That's where I finished my sentence and went to my locker, avoiding the explanation.

Our lockers were next to each other, lucky being best friends with the same initial of A as our last names.

This meant as I was far away from Axel, now I'm starting to think it wasn't like that. Soon we'd have the same last name.

God.

I ended up telling Scarlett the jist of what happened last night while we were at the lockers. She manages to force things out of me...
