Regret.

Twenty One

   Mitch's POV

  I held Bella for what felt like ever, and I didn't mind.

  "Let's go home, Bella." I said softly and she nodded. I took her hand and we walked to my car. She was silent the whole drive to her house. 

  "You okay, B?" I asked her and she just looked at me. 

  "Can you stay, tonight?" She asked and my heart leaped.

  "Of course, babe." I said and hugged her tight. She took my hand and led me to her bedroom where we found Aphrodite curled up on one of Scott's sweaters. 

 "He'll be okay," She said quietly and sat down on her bed. Seeing her so hurt made me want to cry. 

 "I just," She started. "I just want to lay here and hug you." 

 "Then come here," I giggled and layed down on her bed, opening my arms wide. She smiled and layed down beside me, wrapping her arms around my waist. She nuzzled her head into my neck and planted a soft kiss on my collarbone, sending shivers down my spine. 

 "I won't deny that Iove you, Bella." I told her.

  "I won't deny that I love you, either." She smiled at me and kissed my jaw. "I love Scott, though. A lot." 

 "I know, but I'll always be here, I promise." I told her and pecked the top of her head. She mumbled something I couldn't make out. 

 "Mitchie," She said quietly.

 "Mhm?"

  "I love hugging you." She giggled and kissed my neck, causing me to moan. She smiled in satisfaction and nuzzled her head back into my neck.

  "I just love you," I said so she couldn't hear me and wrapped my arms around her waist, moving her as close to me as she could get. Having her in my arms was an addiction, my drug. I loved her touch, I loved her everything. She's amazing.

 After a few minutes, I felt her breathing get heavier. I kissed her forehead and pulled the comforter on her bed across our bodies. I soon felt my eyes get heavy, and fell asleep.

 "Hey, Mitchie," I woke up to a soft voice. "You have to wake up, pretty boy."

 "I don't want to," I groaned and kissed Bella on her nose.

 "We need to go see Scott," She told me quietly. I nodded and rubbed my eyes. 

  "Come on, queen." I said and sat up, pulling her with me.

  Bella's POV

 "Mitch, your such a good cuddler." I told him and smiled. 

 "Thank you so much," Mitch replied sarcastically. 

 I couldn't help but fall for him. This man was truly beautiful. His eyes, his hair, his everything. I just want everything about him. I want him.

 "Bella?" Mitch asked me. 

 "Yes?" I replied.

 "Are you okay?" 

 "No," I shook my head and he frowned. 

 "Why, baby?" He asked sadly and pulled me into his arms. 

 "I just...I just want Scott to be okay, and I want Marcus to be gone." I felt tears burn my eyes. "But most of all, I just want you."

 Mitch didn't respond, he instead kissed me, hard. It was filled with love, passion, emotion, and everything else. I didn't stop him. I wanted him so bad, and he obviously wanted me.
