Plan B

What the f*ck.

Immense anger swarmed through Bella. What. The. F*ck.

"What the f*ck?!" She spat. Literally. Bits of spit flew from her mouth and landed on Jave's nose. "So I'm ugly, and you throw me away like trash. Then I'm pretty, and you want to date me,"

Jave shrugged. "Pretty much,"

The nerve of this guy!!!

Then Bella remembered The Plan. The Plan was to lead Jave on, then dump him like a piece of sh*t. But she already blew her cover... Or maybe he hadn't noticed. It was worth a shot...

"Okay, Jave," she said, letting out a fake sigh of defeat. "I still have feelings for you, and it would be an honor to have a second chance,"

She looked him in the eye with an innocent smile. He stared back at her. Years passed and finally...

"No. You're lying. You're joking, it's one of those two. You said it would be an honor to have a second chance? Well, I know you too well. There is no way in hell you would say that! You know it's me who f*cked up!"

Okay, well...that worked out perfectly. 😑 So it's time for Plan B. Bella ran through the steps in her mind again.

Layout of Plan B:
1. Have him pretend to be your boyfriend, say it's to get your mother off your back.
2. Go out on "fake" dates.
3. Make him fall in love with you
4. Dump him like trash

In the end, Bella would still get revenge. That's all she really wanted.

"Fine. I want to fake date you," she put plainly. Seeing the look of confusion on Jave's face, she began to elaborate. "My mom's been on my back 24/7 about how I don't have a boyfriend. So if we fake date, she'll get off my back,"

Jave stared at her again, his eyes boring deep into hers, seeming to see through her lies and facade. Bella began to feel uncomfortable and fidgeted under his intense gaze.

"Nope," he said again. "You're lying. You always look straight into people's eyes when you lie, to make them believe you more,"

There was no tricking this guy. But maybe she could save her slip up.

"Why would I lie about this?" She threw her hands up in exasperation. "And why would you suspect me so much? I just need you to act as my boyfriend."

Jave scrutinized her again, and nodded, giving in. Bella let out a frustrated sigh, muttering under her breath about this being an interview, but was struggling to keep her body from sagging with relief.

"But wait a second, what's in it for me?" Jave asked.

Bella pondered for a second. "The satisfaction of having me as your girlfriend?" she suggested weakly.

He shook his head. "Never mind then. I'm not doing this. I'm all about give and take,"

Bella sighed. She had hoped she wouldn't have to use this card.

Pulling out her phone, she scrolled through it for a few seconds making Jave fidget. He soon found the phone shoved in his face. The video of him crying while at the movie theatre was playing.

Bella watched as her ex stared at the phone. A mixture of shock, worry and anger spread slowly throughout his face. He gave her a glare that spread chills through her body.
