Arabella Blossom ❥ Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes

Chapter 5

A million thoughts pierced my head, butterflies in my stomach are escaping by my crimson red cheeks, I will. He has been so nice to me recently, and to be honest, I kind of like him too. He gazed into my sky blue eyes, hoping for an answer, holding my hands in his.

"Yes" I softly say.

A smile splashes on his face and I wrap my arms around him to kiss him. What was I doing? I felt sorry for the kid, he just wanted another chance for us to be friends, and I accepted it. But i'm.... falling in love? I can't be... but... today has been really fun, and we kinda just click together. The kiss seemed to last forever, it tasted of bubblegum, I felt like sparks were flowing out of my body, I felt electric. This is what I always wanted. Someone to love. I pulled away, and rested my forehead on his. I snuggled up to him and he put his arms around me while we watched the pale moonlight slowly fade behind clouds.

"Shit!" I exclaim.

"What love?" He says with a worried look on his face.

"I forgot my leather jacket back at the bar!" 

He takes off his and puts it over my shoulders. It's a bit big, but I felt warm.

"Don't worry love, it's probably stolen by now." He grabs my hand and we walk towards the motorbike. He hops on, but I stop him from starting the engine.

"You're not dyin on a motorbike Al, I'm not having this." I took his leather jacket off and placed it over his shoulders. He declines and gives it back to me.

"You're not dyin either love. Not today"

"I'll be back in a minute!" I say. I pop into the nearest shop and buy a leather jacket, just like the one I had before. I put my helmet and linked my arms around his, he drove off. The sound of the motorbike sent chills down my spine every time. I rested my head on his back, seeing the glare of lights fly by as he drove by, I loved the wind blowing straight past us. We walked into my apartment block and knocked on the door.

11pm

I greeted Matt with a warm hug, so did Alex. The smell of old takeaway Chinese food filled my nose.

"I better keep on packing then! I'll be in my room" I say. We were leaving tomorrow night, so I packed some little things. I take out my hair band and brush my long hair. It got annoying sometimes but I love it. As i'm hanging my leather jacket up, Matt comes into my room.

"Bella... you sure you want to come with us? I know it's only for 2 weeks but... I don't want you to absolutely hate it..."

"Matt, I gotta tell you something." We sit down on the bed, and he has a worried expression on his face.

"Alex and I are kind of... dating..... and yeah... he asked me today..." His face turns from a worried one to a happy one, a really happy one. His eyes light up and he hugs me.

"Oh Bella, I knew you would get along!" At that moment, Alex walks in, confused.

Matt walks out and pats him on the back, Alex still clueless. I walk over to him and hug him.
"Start packing faggot" I say, giggling.
"Getting some nicknames are we?" 
"Yep" I say, grinning.

"Ay guys, the boys are coming over tomorrow, we're leaving in the morning not night." Matt shouts from the other room.

I pop into the bathroom and slip on my AM sweatshirt and my knee socks, they weren't pyjamas, but I used them for bed because they were comfy. I tied my hair into a messy bun and went into my bedroom. I put on my cheetah print coat because it was really cold, and I saw Alex scribbling down some notes on a piece of paper.

"Whatcha doin'?"
"Writing a song for our new album, AM"
"Whats it called?"
"Can't tell you yet love" He says, grinning at me. I poke my tongue out and slip underneath the covers, hearing Alex sing on the side of the bed.
