I ended up going over to Bella's for the night. Apparently Charlie was working a night shift at the station and she needed company. Not that I was complaining, I really needed some girl time. I looked through the multiple takeout menus Charlie kept in a drawer, so we could figure out what to do for dinner tonight.
"Ooh, how about Chinese?" I held up the menu toward Bella. She nodded, finally agreeing on one. I plopped down on the couch beside her, throwing my legs into her lap as I looked through the menu. "What do you want?" I asked.
Bella quickly gave me her order and after debating for a moment, I picked what I wanted. I quickly picked up the phone, ordering more than enough food for the two of us. "They said 45 minutes, what should we do till then?"
"We could go to the movie store?" She suggested with a shrug.
I nodded, "ooh, yeah. I've been wanting to see this new movie anyways, it's supposed to be really scary." I jumped up from the couch, pulling on my sneakers while Bella grabbed her jacket and keys.
We were both wearing very comfy attire. I was in leggings, a crew neck, and some fuzzy white socks. Bella was wearing leggings, a zip up hoodie, with converse. We looked cute with our matching messy buns too.
"You know I don't do scary movies, Liv," Bella complained as we made our way into the truck. I sighed, "fine, how about a action movie? Or I could be persuaded to watch a good rom-com."
Bella just laughed, shaking her head, "let's just see what they have, okay?"
I nodded, pretending to zip my lips closed as we entered the main road. "So, are you going to tell me about this guy you were staying with last night?" She pressed, giving me a look.
My cheeks tinted red and I instantly felt embarrassed. It wasn't like Paul was anything more than a friend, so I felt slightly ashamed for admitting to hooking up with a guy just for sex. A lot of people would judge me for it. I didn't want Bella to be one of those people.
"There's not much to tell," I shrugged, looking out the window.
Bella scoffed slightly, "that bruise on your neck tells a different story, Liv."
My hand immediately went to cover the mark, rubbing it for a moment before sighing and turning to her. "There's not. I used to have the biggest crush on Paul, he's been one of my best friends since I was little, so my feelings were pretty big.
"Anyways, we went to this beach party over the summer and ended up hooking up. I thought it meant that we'd be something more, but Paul didn't want that. After I got over my hurt feelings, and my feelings in general, we just sorta started hooking up more often. We really are just friends who occasionally have sex."
I could see Bella's frown, like she didn't approve of what I was doing, god she is going to judge me isn't she? "Are you sure you're okay with that?" She asked, glancing at me then back at the road, "I mean what if you get pregnant or an STD or something?"
