STUBBORNLY IN LOVE

Chapter 10

CZAREEN'S P.O.V

I slept on his chest last night, til the sun rise, and we both got blinded by its shine. Perfectly ended the battle in my heart by the best way I could imagine. No, we're not there yet. But I know what I gotta do when it's time.

"Morning." Toby pecked my lips.

"Morning breath." I slapped his cheek playfully.

"I don't have morning breath, and I love you too." He tickled me then owned the bathroom for 15 minutes.

I looked at the clock. Still 8 am. Bella and I got afternoon shift today so we can just enjoy the last hours of our free time before a busy day at the store. I decided to join Bella to cook breakfast, because I heard her smash some plates on the table. No, she can't do slow.

"Reen! What the heck just happened last night?" She screamed at me once she saw me.

"It's a make up talk." I sighed. "I decided to talk to him."

"You did? Thank Jesus." Bella praised.

"I know. Honey, thank you for helping me to choose." I wrapped her shoulder. "You're single-handedly the best of best friend a person could ever asked."

"I love you too." She hugged me deeply. "Remember to always live in the presence."

"I will." I swept my tears.

"Morning!" Toby slided himself down from the handrail.

"You're like a monkey." Bella smirked.

"Ha. Look who's talking." Toby mocked back.

"Guys! Guys can you please not to." I rolled my eyes. "Peace be upon the world."

"Amen." Bella raised her hand.

We sat peacefully on the table this morning, ate breakfast together, with Toby and myself as a better individuals. I'm still glad Toby didn't push anything to me. Those kisses we shared last night have become a proof of his feeling. I should ask nothing, anymore. It's just about time right now. When I'm ready to step ahead.

"Don't you guys have to work?" Toby washed his dishes.

"Let me do it." I interrupted him.

"Thank you." He kissed my cheek romantically, which made Bella gone crazy in the living room.

"Due to the raised question, yes, we do have to go to work!" She acted silly over there.

"Hahaha. I can't see why Connor likes you." Toby left me in the kitchen to own another fight with her.

"You're funny."

"No I'm not joking. I'm completely confused, and he completely does."

I giggled all the way from the kitchen. Heck, 2015 literally brings up the best things to our lives. I'm the only human knows what she hides inside. Connor McDonough is one of the kinds.

"Damn, you're not serious." Bella couldn't help herself but interviewing Toby. "Are you?"

"Do you like him too?" Toby wrapped my waist when I came up to him.

"Uhm...that one is hard, man." She giggled at me.

"What? Should I record what you said to me last night and replay it to your ears once again so you could hear what you said?" I chuckled.

"What? Bella's a kind of wise girl?" Toby mocked her. Again. Always.

"Dude! I'm a wise woman!" She answered.

"Alright alriiiight oh gosh I gotta put a ring around you guys. So what do you say, Bell?" I sat by her side. "Well, Connor's really cool. Like really really cool."

"He is indeed. My brother." Toby gave credit to his big bro.

"Isn't it too soon to tell?" Bella gave her teeth to my face. So yeah I slapped her.

"You should've heard what you said to me."

"Ouch." Toby joined me upstairs. "Get ready, you wise woman. I'm gonna take you both to the store."

"Shower, Belly!" I waved sassily.

"And yes, if you ask that, Connor will be there." Toby winked in tease.

"Shut uuuuup!" Bella screamed loudly from her room which made us crack up.

"You serious about Connor?" I asked Toby once we locked the door.

"Yeah, of course I do." He walked closer to me. "He does."

"Glad to know Bella's in the right hand." I nodded.

"And glad to know we're doing good." Toby landed another long kiss to my lips.

"Shouldn't you ask for permission to do so?" I whispered.

"I don't know. Should I?"

"Bad boy." I pecked his lips.

"Your bad boy." Toby lifted my waist so I tiptoed on his.

My bad boy, indeed.
