BELLA's POV

"Bella," Ricky's chin quivered when I looked over at him.

"What's wrong?" I asked, immediately worried.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He quickly apologized even though I didn't know why. He pointed at the car floor, I followed his finger to the floor spotting a scoop of ice cream which had papers fly slipped off his cone.

I looked up at him and smiled, "Don't worry about it, we can clean it up."

"What happened?" Luke asked, turning around in his seat.

"Told you we should've eaten outside," I raised an eyebrow at Luke.

"Ok, ok. I just didn't want to get swarmed." Luke narrowed his eyes at me, he handed me his cone and slipped out of the car, "I'll go get you more ice cream, Ricky. And some napkins to clean the rest up."

Ricky smiled sadly, thanking Luke after the door had already closed.

"I didn't mean to spill it, Bella." He whispered.

"Of course you didn't, it's okay baby. Luke's getting you more ice cream!" I smiled, reaching into the back seat to wipe a tear off Richard's cheek. "No tears."

He smiled, "No tears."

Luke opened up the back door, grabbing the hump of melting ice cream off the floor and throwing it on the ground outside. I gave him a warning look.

"It's just ice cream, Bella." He defended, rolling his eyes. He lifted a new cone up to Ricky, "Here you go, bud."

"Napkins?" I asked, holding my hand out.

He shrugged, "I forgot."

I sighed, slipping out of the car and walking towards the small ice cream shack. The man behind the counter smirked, leaning forward with his elbows up on the counter. "Back for more?"

"Napkins," I muttered, "I'm getting napkins."

I grabbed a few from the spot next to him, "I'd also like an empty bowl and spoon please."

"So, how's Hemmings?" He asked, a cocky smirk on his face.

"What do you mean?" I questioned, "And can you just give me my bowl?"

The man chuckled, "How's he in bed? I'm sure I could be better."

My eyes widened. "Excuse me?" I squealed, "Forget the bowl."

I shook my head, turning to walk away but I bumped in the stupid wall behind me. Lucky me the stupid guy jumped over the counter and steadied me as i stumbled back. I turned around and smacked him, "Don't touch me." I warned.

He smiled before I turned and walked away.

"I like your shorts. Just the way I like 'em...short."

"You're a pig." I yelled, receiving questioning looks from people as I trudged away, adjusting my shorts.

I walked over to the car, shoving the napkins at Luke's chest.

"What was that for?" He asked, closing Ricky's door. I rolled my eyes, running my hands through my hair.

"Bring me home, I need to change." I muttered. He raised an eyebrow.

"Did you start your-"

"No, I didn't start my period Luke. I just want to change, okay?" I groaned.

"Yeah, yeah. Okay." He sighed. I walked around the car, slipping in to my spot.

Luke began driving, glancing over at me every few seconds.

"How's your new ice cream?" I asked Ricky, twisting around to see him.

"Good!" He grinned, licking it again.

We pulled up to the apartment a few minutes later, I waited for Luke to help Ricky out, then we all walked inside together.

"I remember where it is," Ricky told us proudly, "C'mon follow me."

Ricky walked in from of us. Luke wrapped his arm around my waist, grabbing my butt. I jumped away giving him a dirty look.

"I can't help it, it looks cute today," he smiled cheekily.

"Exactly why I'm changing. Pig," I scoffed quietly so Ricky couldn't hear.

"What did I do!" Luke whisper yelled.

"Not just you, the stupid guy at the ice cream place was trying to-uh-get in my pants..." I raised an eyebrow, feeling quite awkward, a blush running across my face.

"What?" Luke asked a bit louder, Ricky flinched at Luke's tone but continued to walk to our door.

"Shh, there's a child present. It's okay, I just want to change then we'll do something else."

I stood, going on my toes so I could reach up and peck Luke's cheek. He blushed like an adorable idiot. I walked a bit faster, catching up with Ricky who was waiting at the right door.

"Good job," I high fives him, "You remembered. I'm going to run upstairs, you can stay downstairs with Luke, okay?"

Ricky nodded, smiling at me as I unlocked the door and let us into the house. Luke lead Ricky into the living room and I ran upstairs and changed into a pair of capris and fixed my hair into a messy bun.

I then went back downstairs to see Luke and Ricky playing patty cake on the couch. I pulled out her phone, taking a quick picture before being spotted.

"So, what are we going to do now?" I asked.

"Want to go play some soccer(I don't know what Australians call it) in the backyard?" Luke suggested. Richard's face lit up, he looked at me as if he needed me to say yes before he did.

"Sounds fun," I smiled, Ricky immediately joined in with the second agreement to play.

We made our way downstairs and outside into the back of the complex, I was glad I had my sneakers on.

Luke began dribbling the ball around, "Ricky, you're on my team. Keep the ball away from Bella and get it between those two trash cans."

"That's not fair," I whined.

Luke and Ricky smirked at each other. The older blonde passed it to the younger one and suddenly the ball hit the wall behind the two trash cans. They high fived and got into a huddle of two.

I ran over, kicking the ball out from between the middle of them. I ran after the ball with the boys, but was thrown over Luke's shoulder when I got close.

"Go Ricky, go score," Luke chanted. Ricky giggled, tripping over the ball as he tried to get it across the backyard and finally made a goal.

"We did it!" He said dancing around. "Victory dance!"

Luke put me down and the two of us started laughing, soon joining into Ricky's "victory dance". I was on the floor laughing, pains in my stomach and all.

Somehow we all ended up just laying in the grass and when the laughter dyed out the three of us found ourselves just staring at the clouds in silence for a moment.

"I like clouds," Ricky said softly. "I wish i could walk on a cloud."

"I'd like to do that," Luke agreed. "If I could take you to walk on clouds, I would."
