Falling For My Exchange Brother | BOOK 1,2,3

18. Convincing

I lay in bed, watching TV as I realize how boring it is without having Arthur here. Yeah recently I've been treating him like shit, but it's better than nothing.

I'll admit...I miss him. Nathan doesn't deserve to have him around him. Arthur's mine and we did lots of things together. If Nathan knew what we've done I don't think he'd be all over Arthur than.

Well...since I couldn't have Arthur and he wants to be a shitface, I called over Bella. The one annoying thing that bothers him to the core. Her. 

"Baby? Why do your parents still not like me?" She asked for the fifth time as she cane in my room with food.

"Don't know. Never asked." I said, making her pout. Watching as she tries to climb over me, but I push her off as she rolls to the side.

Shaking my head in annoyance, I grab my phone to see what Arthur is doing. I told him to text me whenever and that I'd respond, he hasn't done so at all.

He acts like we haven't gone through this before. The fact that he's taking this that far is just so immature and I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

I get it, I had people - including myself - bully him to pieces. But I made a mistake! I thought he took my dream and all. Now that I know the truth it should be all good. Yet he's being this way and it bothers me.

"Tell me something William," I look, seeing Bella beginning to take off her shirt," You've been a little distant and my body is hungry-."

"Go downstairs and eat something." I interrupt, throwing my blanket over her as her body didn't get to me like it used to. I was bored with it and all I could think about was Arthur.

Suddenly I hear an irritating screech, watching as Bella slapped my phone out my hand and tried getting on me.

"Is there someone else?! Am I not good enough-?!"

"You're just not a turn-on anymore. That's all." I admit, and she gasps.

"Who is it...?" She asks in a hurt expression, and I sigh as she's the last person I should be telling.

"There's a thing called growing up and getting bored... I'm bored. You're boring and to be honest, you're a stupid airhead and I can't stand you. So please, get off me and - actually just leave." I say, and she gasps again.

As she rushes out I happen to get a message from - Nathan? Of all the people who could be texting me and this bitch does?

Nathan👺: What does Arthur like to eat? He's...vague right now. If u care about him you'll tell me.

Me: that's not how it fucking works. I hate you; why would I help u make him happy?

Nathan👺: It's not about me. It's about Arthur. 😇

I roll my eyes, folding my arms. Annoyed with the fact that Nathan was asking me this question. But when he said it's about Arthur, not him...

Me: get Chick-fil-A. The fries - a lot of them. There. Now fuck off. 🖕🏼

Nathan👺: Fuck u too.

I shake my head, seeing that Bella left and I happen to be all alone now. Arthur isn't here...so what now?

...I got out of bed, knowing I just gave myself leverage.

They're going to Chick-fil-A and I can most likely guess the one it is. So not only did I just get a big boost into getting to him, but I can convince him to come back.
