The Forgotten

Chapter Four

It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, But what you say. It's not how you look In the body, but the things you do with it. You are beautiful. - Stephine Meyer The Host

Why couldn't I get her out of my mind? I have never felt like this before. When I didn't see her in school, I thought nothing of it, at least that's what I wanted everyone to think.

Inside I was wondering if she regretted agreeing to wearing my jersey for the rest of the semester.

I couldn't get out of my mind when she said outloud about her crush. I knew she didn't mean to say it outloud, the shock in her face gave that away.

But I couldn't shake off the feeling, I knew I was jealous, hell she was wearing my jersey but the only thing one her mind was someone else.

This was just a little crush, soon to be forgotten I'm sure. No I'm definite. When I went to her house and made her soup she was thankful and let me watch a movie with her.

If she wasn't sick, I would've classed this as a date. But I knew that I shouldn't be thinking about her like that. She made it perfectly clear that all she wanted was to be friends.

Why did it hurt to admit that!?

I shook my head. Clearly she didn't like me like that. But surprisingly she seemed more chilled out today. It's probably because she's sick. Yep, definitely.

**********

Not even twenty minutes into the movie, she was already asleep. I rolled my eyes. I took the soup and the water, led myself into the kitchen and cleaned up the mess I made.

I walked over to her after I cleaned up, but carelessly I dropped some soup on my tee shirt so I threw it off and walked over to Bella to go and tell her that I had to go.

But what happened next, I was not expecting. Bella was whimpering in her sleep. She seemed distraught. I seriously couldn't leave her like this.

"please.. Help! No... You can't... "

I walked over to her and sat on the bed, she seemed relived by my presence. She grabbed onto me and I knew from that one touch, I needed a cold shower. Great.

She gripped me for her dear life and then seemed to relax. I sighed in relief. I decided to leave after five minutes, but I needed to calm down first, so I decide to sleep it off.

When I woke up, I was welcomed by Bella walking in the bedroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around her. Great... Make that two cold showers. Who am I kidding...

"wow. Not a bad way to wake up. "

I could definitely get used to waking up like this. I looked at her and was not so subtley checking her out. My eyes raked over her body. She looked directly into my eyes.

"What are.. You... You still doing here? "

I chuckled and said

"so use me for my caring nature and then expect me to go? Wow I feel like a cheap hook up. Except.."

I walked closer to her , so her body was pressed against the wall, my breathing became shallow and I tried to keep my cool.
Her face was inches away from mine, if I moved an inch closer, we would be kissing...

I waited for her to push me away, give me a sign that she didn't want this. Because lord help me, I wanted her so badly. This addiction for her was in no way healthy.
