jessie's girl [thief] // BD - ON HOLD

1.8

baby and bella ate kfc chicken wings at the parking lot for a short while and then resumed driving to bella's mom's house. the streets they were driving by were mostly empty, just a few cars driving by. 

the sky was dark blue with a few white stars sparkling in it. there were no clouds, and baby and bella could see the moon perfectly. it was a soft orange color.

"do you see the moon?" bella asked, her forehead resting against the window. "it's so... beautiful tonight." 

so are you, baby wanted to say. instead he hummed and nodded in response. 

"do you wanna know why it's orange?" baby asked. bella turned her head to him with a slight grin.

"tell me." bella said, and giggled afterwards. 

"well, it's not the moon that changes color." baby started to say. "the different colors of the moon are caused by a different viewing angle and the composition with the earth's atmosphere." he explained. 

"so it's basically our fault." bella decided. baby nodded and smiled at her statement.

"but if it's a crime, it looks nice." he said.

"oh, that sounds good." baby replied. "a beautiful crime." could be your surname. "we're here, pull over." bella said, sitting up straight in her seat. 

baby pulled the car to a stop just next to bella's requested house. she said it was in a faint pink color, and it was. he shut off the engine and got out first. baby opened the door for bella and helped her get out. the truck had big tires and because of that, it was high. baby didn't want bella to fall out of the car.

"oh, thanks, baby." bella said sleepily. "jessie never does these things you do."

wow, jessie. baby raised his eyebrows. he didn't expect that from jessie. or maybe he did expect it. never the less, something about bella and jessie together didn't sit right. 

bella held onto baby's arm tightly as they made their way across bella's lawn. when the door was just in front of them, bella started digging in her bag to get the house keys. she was struggling quite obviously.

"can i help you, bella?" baby asked her, trying not to laugh at the girl. 

"i don't know..." bella whispered. baby chuckled and took her backpack in his hands. he zipped open the small pocket in the front of her bag and looked inside. there was a jumble keys.

baby raised them in front of himself and bella with a smirk on his face. bella's facial expression changed to a tired and disappointed one.

she sighed. "did you really just... i searched my whole bag! how could i have-you know what, nevermind." she said finally and leaned against the doorframe and unlocked her door.
