Falling For The Enemy -COMING BACK TBD

Chapter Seven

Arabella's POV

"So I'll see you guys tomorrow?" I ask.

"Yeah, but why not now?" Griff questions.

"I'm spending the time with Landen, today."

"But-"

"It's okay, Ara. We'll see you tomorrow," Rora cuts Griff off.

"Carter, can you hang out with us now?"

"Sure, Griffin. Give me a minute."

Rora and Griff walk away from the school. Carter turns to me, "Are you sure that you have to hang out with Landen?"

I giggle, "Yes, I'm sure, Car. I am sure that I am able to text you later." 

He pouts at me. "I love you." 

"I love you too." I stand on my toes and give him a peck on the lips. "Bye, Carter."

"Bye, love."

I pull away from Carter and go to my car.

*******************************************

"Arabella Camilla Torres! Get back here!"

I chuckle and duck away underneath the steps to my hiding spot. I hold my breathe as Lan gets closer. He huffs and walks away.

Ding! 

Fuck. My. Life. I rush to turn my ringer off when I get pulled by the ankles.

"Landen!" I shout. 

He throws some cake in my face and smirks, "That's what you get for messing my hair up."

"I swear to god you are a girl." He raises his brow. "All I did was throw some flour in your hair and you had a panic attack. Aren't you suppose to be badass and more manly after coming out of the military?"

"I have always been a badass thank you very much. I am manly, but don't ever mess with my hair," Lan scoffs. I roll my eyes.

After more food fights, sibling rivalry, and more fun, we said goodnight to each other. I text Rora and Griff goodnight before replying to a text Carter sent earlier. 

What did Callen mean by "I always get what I want?"

What? What made him think of that? Why is he asking about this now? I have so many questions.

It's not important, why do you ask?

I change into some warm pajamas. When my phone goes off.

I want to know if he is trying to steal my girl.

Did he hear Callen and I's conversation from the morning? Did he hear Callen say that he is always there for me? I was almost asleep, but I heard him. Oh no, maybe he did.

Nah, he's not interested in me.

Are you sure?

Yes, Carter, I am sure.

Okay, goodnight, love. <3

Goodnight xo

I put my phone down. I know that it's not good lying to the ones that you care about, but something seemed off about Carter that I didn't want to trigger.

I turn my light out and lay down.

Ding!

Aww man! I'm sleepy.

I check my phone shocked.

Goodnight, Bella. 

How did you get my number, Foster?

I have my ways.

Landen?

Yep! :D

I'm gonna kill him.

Why? He ditched me for you, so you should keep him.

Really? Maybe I should keep him.

Yeah, like you said, you need him in your life.

I didn't say it like that.

That's what you practically said, Bella.

I guess.

I laugh into my pillow. This fool. I smile as I reply.

What is this for?

So you have a contact photo for me, duh! 

You look like an idiot, Cal.

It's who I am :P

I guess.

Can I have one of you?

I guess, give me a sec, I have to find one.

Just  take one of you now.

I don't want to turn my light back on.

Lazyass.

And you say that I'm the fool.

Hey!

You look adorable, Bella.

Why, thank you Callen. I never would have pegged you to be sweet.

Only for you. I keep telling you that I just want you Bella.

Yeah, I know, but I'm with Carter.

Not for long, darling, I will have you.

Whatever, I'm going to sleep.

Goodnight, Bella.

Goodnight, Callen.

He doesn't reply after that. I put my phone on the nightstand to charge. I roll over. I don't know why, but talking with Callen made me happy.

I let sleep engulf me.

**************************************************************

I am so sorry for so much dialogue in these last two chapters. As I said, I am overwhelmed right now and it easiest to write dialogue .

That's all I got for this story for now. Sorry, I forgot to say this last chapter, but LOOK WHO GOT HER MOJO BACK!!!! Haha, okay I'm done. Onto the next book!

Until next time, Stormies
