~Bella's POV~

I took a quick shower letting the boiling water clean my skin, i put on a pair of high waisted black skinny jeans and a loose blue and white tank. When i got out i was surprised to see Luke still in my room looking at my picture covered walls.

"In the dark i couldn't see them but now, the pictures, they're beautiful..." He gushed.

I started to blush."Uh, thanks."

"Did you take them?" he asked

"Ye, besides the ones of me and my family- including Chloe. Oh and also the postcards and two posters. Those aren't mine." I answered gesturing as i spoke.

"Where was this." He said pointing to a photo of a small waterfall i had taken pictures of in Serbia.

"In Serbia. When i was thirteen i went on holiday there with Julia, my mom, Chloe and her mom. My dad was on a business trip and Katelyn went to some place with her friend, so we took Chloe and her mom instead."

He smiled at my response.

"Now go to class, Luke!" I demanded, "Your fifteen minutes late!"

"Okay...but you promise you'll finish telling me about them later? Promise?" He said walking out the room.

"Promise, now leave before your to late!."

And with a kiss goodbye he was gone.

I made my way to Chloe's room.

When i got there, i saw a lump in the bed, i assumed was a, still, sleeping Chloe and a note from Brandon.

I picked up the note and read,

Dear Chloe,

I'm thinking about you, sorry i had to go to class. Wish i was still in bed with you. If only.

Coming straight back after class. Call me when you wake up. Promise?

I think you should skip class today. Get some rest,

I love you my Chlo, Brandon.....

"What's that?" Asked a raspy broken voice from behind me.

I turned to see a half awake Chloe with tear stained cheeks.

"Morning sleepyhead." I replied handing her the note. "I'm staying home with you, don't even try to argue. Class can wait, chocolate ice cream with you can't."

"You change into PJ's and fetch my emergency Ben & Jerry's, i'll be in the shower... i stink. Meet you back here in ten." Chloe sighs, remembering the night before. "Oh, and Bell, thanks for handling me last night. Love ya." She blew a kiss and ran into the bathroom.

After retrieving the chocolatey goodness that is Chloe's ice cream and changing into a pair of sweats,i make my way to Chloe's room and expect to see my bubbly best friend but instead i find a a pale faced girl with a single tear rolling down her cheek.

"Awe, don't cry." I soothed moving next to her with the ice cream in hand. "I have Belgian Chocolate or Cookies and Cream."

"I'm sorry for crying, Bell. It's not a sad tear, i'm happy because i know i have you and Brandon in my life. And i know i lost my dad but that brought me you and the tub of ice cream in my hand together." We both giggled.

"Brandon really loves you Chlo, I could see it last night. Don't mess this up. I like him."

And with that we opened our tub of ice cream and started watching the movie we watch every time one of us is sad. The notebook.

****

A big weight on the bed woke me up. Brandon.

"Shhhhh. You'll wake Chloe up. She didn't sleep a wink last night." Brandon whispered.

"Awe, thanks for the sympathy. And to think i liked you. Little did i know you're the kind of guy that deprives poor girls of there beauty sleep. You should feel ashamed." I said with my chin held high and a snooty look on my face. Then i couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing but luckily Chloe didn't even stir. 

Brandon chuckled. "I'm sorry Bell. We both know you still love me though."

"Hey, where's Luke?" I asked remembering he said he'd be back.

"Speaking of...." Brandon said handing me my phone. Luke's name flashes on the screen.

At your door. Open up. - 6 minutes ago.

It's been so looong, OPEN UP! - 4 minutes ago

Okay Bella now i'm getting impatient. Do you have a guy over? I know your in there.... - now

I giggled to myself at his joke and immediately ran to open the door. There stood a smiling Luke. I love his smile. It makes my heart melt.

"You're so weird." I teased.

"I know you are but what am i?" He retorted.

"And childish. But it's fine. I wouldn't want you any other way." I said kissing his cheek.

"And cheesy. Very cheesy." I heard brandon say from the couch. "Cheers love birds. I'm going to my room- got homework. Tell Chloe to call when she wakes up."

"Will do." Luke said  with a single wave good-bye.

"So Bell," Luke said. "I got dinner reservations at 9. That's in.... 45 minutes and it's not fancy and i don't need to change so, 15 minutes for you to get ready-  half an hour to spare." He smirked and started kissing me.

I changed back into my skinny jeans making Luke wait before he rejoined our lips. After 15 minutes of kissing on the couch, I heard a gasp at the door.

"Luke? Oh my.... and Bella? Making out? You fucking broke my heart?!" Katelyn yelled after Luke and I pulled apart.
