Recent events have turned Bella's life around, but will that be the only event turning it around?
Since the passing of her father, Bella finds it difficult to adjust to her new lifestyle. The school girl is trying to live her life as it used to be...
the rest of the day went by pretty fast; as soon as I got home I ran upstairs to take a nap. The feeling of disappointment and confusion has led me to believe im not taken seriously by anyone. Im convinced my brain is spiralling to some kind of delusions, it's as if the universe has embedded him into my thoughts. As much as I force myself to dislike him..his scent of strong lavender and wood brushes against my nose causing all my hairs to stand up.
My nap was interrupted through the loud shouts echoing from downstairs.
"Bella im going to work, I won't be back till late! Make yourself some dinner!" I hear my mum shout, before it being followed by the sound of the front door closing.
I rest my head back against my pillow, and close my eyes shut, imagining anything but him. I turn over, hoping to fall asleep..but that doesn't work. I pick myself up and slip on my slippers. Instead of thinking of doing my homework, I walk over to my closet and pulled out a couple of clothes.
Trying on outfits is definitely worth the time.
I walk over to my bathroom with all of the clothes in my arms. I hear a growl coming from my stomach. I dump the clothed onto the floor and head towards my phone. I order myself so pizza before walking back into the bathroom to occupy myself. I try on jeans I don't even remember owning, and tops ive never seen before. I connect my phone to the speakers and play my playlist. My last couple of clothing items lay on the floor; a miniskirt and a black shirt.
I can make something out of this

I stood in my bathroom admiring this outfit I created, and listening to my favourite song. Just as it gets to the chorus my doorbell rings-
PIZZA
I sprint out of my room not even pausing my music, and I hurry downstairs. As I reach for the door my nose tingles....
I open the door expecting to be met with pizza boxes..but instead...a tall figure stood in front of me. Lavender and wood. My jaw drops as he tilts his head forward, allowing the light from inside my house to hit his sharp face. He looks down at my feet, and then slowly drags his eyes up my body.
"So...what the occasion?" he says breaking the silnence.
At that moment, i remember what im wearing. I flinch, causing my hands to latch onto my chest, covering the wide separation of the shirt on my body. I shift my focus back on him as he continues to stand there, not saying a word. He had on dark wash blue jeans paired with a leather jacket and white vest. A gust of wind blew past me, allowing me to get a sniff of his mesmerising cologne. 'Damn he smells good' i thought to myself.
'May I come in?' He asked with a soft voice and gentle gaze, completely different to how he was today. I just realized we had been standing there without moving or taking. I swiftly invited him in and shut the door. We sat on the couch a good distance away from each other, the silence made it all the more awkward.
'What do you want?' I demanded, trying to regain confidence in the situation.
'I think there was a misunderstanding' he replied with the same confidence. 'Anna-'
'What about her?'I cut him off
'Me and her... we're not what you think we are' Antonio replied
'And what is that?'
'Bella stop!' Antonio shouted with annoyance, fed up with my antics
'Anna is my cousin! We're not together and yes our costumes matched on Halloween but that doesn't mean you should get the wrong idea'
I sat there shocked and in silence.
'I wish you spoke to me and asked what was going on rather than assuming'
'What was I supposed to say.. hey Antonio is Anna your girlfriend? If not then I like you?'
' what no I mean- wait .. you just said you like me?' He chuckled.
Gosh.. his smile.
'Well I already knew that but damn you finally admitted it' he continued.
'..you knew..?' I quietly asked
'Well it's not hard to tell, at least not for me. But I like you too Bella.. seriously'
I could feel him looking at me the same way he did earlier. His eyes began to study me, reminding me that I am no longer holding my hands in front of my chest. Surprisingly, I didnt bring my hands back up to my upper body, instead I sat up and stretched my arms across either side of me. he smiles.
what am I doing
'Is your mum home?' Antonio asked.
My eyes shot up, realising what he was hinting at.
'She's not' I responded eagerly with a random burst of confidence.
He looks down before bringing his head back up and shifting his body towards me. As he comes closer and closer, his signature scent intensifies, making me become more and more desperate. I urge my body towards him, meeting him half way with a kiss. I bury my fingers in his hair whilst he reaches for my back.
ring ring- the damn doorbell
I remember about my pizzas.
I pull away, but stay close enough to mutter 'ive got to get the door' against his lips.
'okay' he responds, still breathing against me.
I fix my shirt and skirt whilst getting up and waling towards the door. I open the door and get greeted by my pizzas
AHHHH I think to myself
"thank you" I said to the delivery driver as he walks away and I close the door. As I turn around my eyes meet his. Both of our eyes say the same thing. What just happened.
"Ive got pizza" I say trying to get rid of the awkward tension. As I walk over to the kitchen, I signal for him to come. My mind goes blank as soon as I can sense his presence behind me. As I open the pizza boxes I feel a hand clasp around my waist. I take a deep breath, turning around to face him. I bring my face closer to his and part my lips. As soon as I brush my lips against his I swiftly move my head and angle my lips again his ear:
"Later" I whisper and pull my face away from him.
