HERE FOR HER

CHAPTER 22- What if?

Aiden POV

"Here." I mumbled as I gave her the papers, with my eyes fixed on them in my hand.

Damn... She looked so serious when she said those words that it almost made my heart pang out of my chest. Well, I couldn't risk it. I wouldn't.

I looked up and saw her smile widely. I couldn't help but return her genuine smile in the same way. The corners of her ears turned red and she looked away from me, diverting her attention back to her pending search for pen. I watched her as she tried to hide her flushed face from me.

"Hello there." Someone's voice brought me back to reality.
Me and Bella, both turned towards the source of the voice.

Disgust filled me as I saw him walk towards us.

"Hey." Bella smiled her best smile at him.

He grinned back at her but as soon as his gaze met mine, that smile just disappeared. I glared back at him straight in the eye.
What the heck was he doing here now?

Then I heard Bella clear her throat and my eyes automatically fell on her. She turned to face Zach.
"So....Anything up, Zach?"

"Ahm...yeah...Can we talk somewhere else?" He asked her as his eyes were fixed on me. I knew what he meant.

"Why not here, huh?" I said as I stepped forward so that I was facing him.

"It's none of your business, Conor." He said my name as if it was poison through his teeth.

"It sure as hell is. As long as its related to her." I matched his tone full of annoyance and spat back.
My fist clenched together as we both took a daring step in front of each other.

"Well, I don't want you to invade our privacy."

What the fuck.

He has his eyes on Bella.
Benjamin's word kept echoing in my head.

This guy is inviting his own death. He is going to get it from me.

"What do you mean by your privacy, huh?....believe me, I wouldn't hesitate to knock some sense into you right now." I muttered through my teeth

How dare he? What the heck did he mean? He actually had a death wish.

Suddenly I felt someone's hand on my chest pushing me back. I looked down and saw Bella standing in between us.

"Woah..woah.. What has gotten into you two?" I absolutely forgot about her, standing with us. I kept throwing
Sharp glares at him. But my attention was diverted by here. She looked so tiny standing in between us. Believe me, if this jerk hadn't pissed me off, I would have teased her.
"Just relax, you two." She murmured again as she moved her hand away.

With a frustrated sigh, she turned towards him. "So Zach what do you wanna talk about?"

"I was wondering if you have any plans tomorrow?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

Yeah. She has. But not for you. Or with you.

I muttered inside my head. And I was expecting Bella to answer the same way but...

"Um...None till now." She lifted her shoulders lightly.
What!

"So maybe we could hang out?"
This guy wants my fist in his throat.

"Yeah...why not." Bella replied.

Seriously. What was Bella thinking? Why did she want to hang out with him? Did she not enjoy with me? Or did she not like my company?
