ISABELLA

❤Chapter Three❤

"Leo..." I say as I open our front door.

"Bella" he replies.

"You didn't tell me you were coming"

"Well, I am here" he says, smiling.

I let him in. I just got back from school and I wasn't expecting Leo. He isn't a visitor in my place, though but he informs me anytime he wants to come. We walk into the living room. My brothers know Leo very well and they also know about 'us'. Leo is in Christopher's class. They are not friends but they relate well. My brothers are cool about him and us.

"Leo!" Harry says as he sees Leo. They shake hands as Leo sits beside him.

"Bella didn't mention that you were coming" Harry says again.

"Yeah, I didn't tell her"

I leave them to get a drink for Leo. Chris is in the kitchen, preparing noodles for himself.

"Hey, who was at the door?" he asks

" I am not hey and it's Leo" I say not looking at him.

"Soo...because your boyfriend is around, you have the guts to talk to me anyhow"

I don't answer him. I pick a fruit juice from the refrigerator and turn to leave.

"Aaahhhhh. Bella!!"

I turn to face him. "Chris.." I say but I stop and laugh really hard at him. He has burnt his noodles.

"C'mon. It is not funny"

"Of course, it is."

"How will I eat this now?"

"With a fork " I answer, still laughing

He hisses loudly and I leave the kitchen.

Harry and Leo are already playing a video game when I got back to the sitting room. I shake my head and drop the juice beside Leo. I lie on the couch and get busy with my phone. I already have three WhatsApp messages from Dave.

Bestie : Pumpkin

Bestie: Sweetheart

Bestie: My heartttt🤗

I roll my eyes. Anytime Dave is like this, he wants me to help him with something or help him with some girl he has disappointed or will have to disappoint.

Me: What help do you want?

Bestie: Aww. Bella, I just saw the picture you posted on ig. It is so beautiful.

Me: . Dave, we both know this is you when you need help. So, what is it this time?

Bestie: this is why you are my best friend. You understand me soo much.

Me: Go straight to the point😒

"Bella made me burn my noodles" Christopher says.

I look up from my phone.

" How did that become my fault?" I say

Just then, Leo and Harrison finish their game. Harry wins, as always.

" Harry, see my noodles. Thanks to Bella"

" Bella burnt your noodles?" Leo says

" You know I can't cook something that looks like that" I quickly say
