Just as I promised her, I'm taking Isabella out tonight. A date? Guess we can call it that. "Can you wait for me downstairs?" She asks me politely as she peeks her head out the bathroom door.
Ever since the first day I came back from the hospital she didn't let me see her putting her clothes on. Even when I gets into shower she'll leave the room. I think that's why I never let my hand roams around her even though we're sleeping on the same bed. Awkward? You bet.
Instead of going straight downstairs I went to Jaime's room and pick that little guy out from his crib. This kid is cute. Except when he starts to cry. He rarely does that but once he does, you might want to plug in some stones into your ears.
"Okay buddy let's play downstairs." I take him to the living room with me.
I made him jump on my lap, making him laugh. "You have your momma's laugh, you know that? Except she rarely does. Maybe it's because of me. Was it my fault?" I asked him.
It's a foolish act, I know. This kid is just laughing at me when I asked if I was the reason why his mother rarely smile anymore.
"Erick, let's go." Bella says as she jogs down the stairs. "Okay, big boy. Mommy and daddy are going out and we're going to send you to Aunt Anitta for a while." She says, taking Jaime from me.
We gets into Bella's car, she doesn't let me drive after the accident. When we gets to Anitta's place that girl opens up the door with Yoandri behind her. I never knew Yoandri had a girl. And that girl is Bella's friend. But whatever not that it matters.
"Have fun, guys." Yoandri yells at us as we walk back to the car.
In the car I asked Bella about her friend Anitta. She told me Anitta and Yoandri were her best friends since junior high. She feeds me with the things they did when they were younger and it impresses me of how this sweet, soft girl was kind of badass too. She also mentioned that we first met at Yoandri's party.
"Okay what's that place you want us to go, again?" She asks as we get to the town.
"I don't know if you like candies but there's this sweets shop that looks kinda fun for us to crash in." I answered and gave her the direction to that place.
"I'm sorry if I didn't reach your expectation of a date night. We can check any restaurants if you want to." I said as we get there. I don't know what type of girl she really is, I just thought to make this night out less romantic to avoid any awkward possibilities.
We steps inside, and Bella's eyes widened as she studies the assortment of candies in clear shelves on the walls. "Erick, this is AWESOME." She almost screamed the last word out.
She then pulls my hand and grabs the big bowl. "Can I take anything I want?" She asks. The excitement in her eyes made me drown for a while. She's cute. How can I not notice that before?
"Of course, Bella. Everything is on me." I tell her.
And there she goes, grabbing every shape of gummies and chocolate. There are stick shape thing, button shape. Whatever you can think of. The bowl was halfway full when she stops, and I'm wondering why.
"Can you take another bowl?" She asked me. Wait, that bowl wasn't full yet. "This one is filled with some sweet ones. I want the sour ones too but I hate mixing them up." She adds, as if she could hear the question in my head.
"Okay, I'll take it." I smiles as I took another bowl and hand it to her.
When she's done we sat on a tall table near the window. Isabella made us played this game where we close our eyes and felt the candy the other person place on our hand and guess how it tastes like. It's fun. Hanging out with her is fun.
Now that we ate everything Bella took for us, we leave the store for a walk. Need to burn those sugar down. I love being skinny I don't want to be like a bloated old man.
While walking I asked a few questions about her. I just want to know more about this girl named Isabella Londono.
She's opening up really well. She tells about her family. She has a brother but she doesn't talk to him anymore. Maybe something bad happened, I just down want to cross the boundaries by asking more than I should.
"Let's take a seat there." I showed her a benched and there we go. She lend me a smile as I look at her face when we sat down. And she blushes when I smile back. She always does.

"If you don't mind me asking, why me?" I asked. I've been wondering that for a while now. "I have bad reputation. You know, right?"
Bella smiles to me before looking down to the ground. "You've admitted it to me before. And you've changed too. You don't remember this but we've been through a lot together, Erick."
I can sense her sincerity. She's saying the truth. Which means she really made me change. If only I can remember all of those things now.
I asked her about the day we met, how we started dating and stuff. So she dreamt about me after that party night. That's magical, if you ask me. Like we're meant to meet each other again.
"I'm sorry I can't remember anything, Bella. I really want to. I tried." I reached for her hand. When I look at her, she's keeping her teary eyed down.
"But I know you're a good person. I know that Erick was a lucky guy to have you. But too bad something bad happened to him that he forgot you. Please, forgive me." I tell her. I was honest about it. I feel really sorry for her.
She starts sobbing, so I pulls her closer to my chest and shush her down. "So you tell me after we met again, I kissed you to make you remember about the first time you met me?" I asked.
She looks up and nods. She looks confused when I smile at her. "What if we try the same thing to make me remember?"
She wiped the tears on her cheeks before she answers me. "You mean, you want to kiss me? Are you sure?" she asked. Damn she's being cute again.
I just nod quickly before I smashed my lips against hers. I'm really sure about this.
