Barbie's agreement

Hey ppl, enjoy and let me know what you think!

Previously: 

"Goodnight Bella"

He started walking towards the steps and I slipped back into the pool, splashing towards him.

"Ryan." I said hurriedly.

"Look Bella, I'm sorry I came in the pool. I shouldn't have, I'm just going to go." He said walking further away.

I quickly swam towards him and tugged on his arm, eventually he turned around, but it wasn't because of my force he was too strong for me to turn him around. No, he let me turn him around, he wanted to talk to me...not leave me.

"Don't go." I whispered.

He looked down at me at and I saw something flash through his eyes. Relief?
His shoulders relaxed and he let out a slow exhale, while I stood there and just looked at him. Examined every excruciating feature of his face. His sharp jaw and nose, the subtle hint of cheekbones and thick eyebrows.

"I don't know what to do Bella, you tell me to leave you alone, then you don't talk to me for a week, then kiss me, and now this..." He said looking at me longingly.

I'd never seen him look so vulnerable, before today he always had a goofy face or sassy joke, but this was him after all the layers peeled off, and I liked him like this more, I love him like this.

Wait love?

"I know, I don't know why I did any of that either." I said, when he didn't say anything I played with my thumbs going on "I mean I shouldn't have kissed you, I know your with Scarlet and all, but I just—"

Before I could finish my sentence Ryan pulled me towards him, his hands glued to my waist and a flame burned in his eyes. "Fuck Scarlet! Bella if you're saying she's the reason of you giving me the silent treatment, I'll immediately go to her room make sure she's out of my sight forever and teach you a fucking lesson."

When he said the last two words, that flame grew into a fire of desire and I swallowed thankful for Ryan keeping me from falling from dizziness.

"But it's not." He said calmly.

"No, it wasn't." I said not looking at him.

"And it is now?" He asked.

"Yes it is. It is. Do you know how I feel seeing you with Scarlet everyday, seeing you touching her and having her kiss you like your in a bedroom?!" I asked "How I felt when you walked into registration with her wrapped around you as she announced to everyone about her new boyfriend?" I said, this time I swallowed hard, the hurt I felt wanted to pour out, but I kept it trapped inside, I couldn't break right now.

"What are you saying." He said quietly.

"What I'm saying is, why? Why did you date right after that day?" By the look in his eyes I knew exactly what day I was referring to.

"I didn't want to, but I had to." He said. A tear trembled down my cheek.

"No you didn't have to do anything, but you did hook up with her right after." I said.

"Bella I had to! It was because of you, I did it for you."

I blinked a couple times confused "You dated Scarlet for me?" I asked disbeleif in my voice. It didn't make sense.

"Yes I did, after you finished things between us, I went to Carly's. You told me you couldn't date me because of her, so I thought I'd give at least someone what they want, but she declined." He said.
