Chapter 8

Isabella's Pov

We were now walking home in silence. It was a comfortable silence though. Splat! A drop of water hit my nose. "Uh..." I glanced up at the sky and saw that the sky was a dark grey.

"This doesn't look good! We better hurry." Blake said. I nodded my head and quickened my pace. Too bad, the clouds decided it was nice to let the rain down now. Hard.

In less than five minutes, we were completely soaked. "Achoo!" I sneezed and shivered. I wasn't wearing anything thick and I really regretted my decision.

You couldn't blame me though, who in the right mind would wear something warm and furry to a fair on a hot summer day?

"Come on, we have to get some clothes to change into. You're catching a cold already." Blake instructed and we ran to the nearest shop we saw.

"Uh... Blake? Are there any more shops on this stretch of road?" I asked and looked around. It was... A Disney store.

Micky Mouse, Donald Duck and all those other kiddy stuff, you name it and its here. I don't hate them, I actually love them but seeing that the clothes here are either for little children or couples made me want to run away.

"Hey! How may I help you?" A sales lady asked us kindly. "Um... We were out in the rain and we need a fresh change of clothes and an umbrella." I informed her.

"Um... Miss? Are there any other shops here that sell clothing?" Blake asked and looked at the shop with uncertainty.

"Sorry dear... The shops are all closed because of the storm and I was about to go home as well..." She told us. "Thankfully, I do have clothes and umbrellas here." She said.

I glanced at Blake and he was already looking at me with an eyebrow raised. I nodded my head and turned to look for clothes. I sighed and ran a hand through my wet hair. There was nothing but baby clothes of couple clothing.

"Well... This may seem awkward but we have to buy these." Blake appeared beside me and pointed to the t-shirts in front of us. Yikes!

"Okay. Why don't they have those cute t-shirts for like Disney fans? They have that in amusement parks. Like Batman or something." I muttered. "Bella, this is a Disney store. Why would they sell Superman or Batman?" Blake reasoned.

"Oh yeah... Fine, just pick whatever then." I sighed and fell onto a sofa beside a life size Mickey. "Here. I picked the most un-couply ones I saw." Blake said and threw me a white shirt.

I looked at it and my eyes widened. I then walked over to the racks and saw that this was indeed the best out of the rest. The rest were filled with hearts and stuff.

I wouldn't have minded the shirt if only it didn't have the huge words, 'His Minnie' on it, with an arrow that pointed to the right. Otherwise, it would look perfectly fine. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

I went into the changing room and changed out of my wet and cold shirt to the warm and dry one. I went out just as Blake pulled back his curtain.

I stifled a giggle and he glared at me. "What?" He snapped. "Y-your hair!" I tried to talk in between my laughter. "Huh?" He ran his hands through his hair trying to smoothen it out. "You look like a rooster!" I laughed.

"Stop laughing and help me dammit!" He snapped. "Okay! Okay! Take a chill pill!" I smirked and walked to over to help him. I used my hands to smoothen the rooster looking hairstyle.

"Hey! Is this okay?" I asked him with my hands still trying to flatten the rooster hair. When we made eye contact, I stopped breathing. We were close, very close, very nose touching close.

I stared into his blue green eyes and he stared back. He lifted his hand to touch my cheek and electricity shot through me.

CLICK!

Huh? "Aw!" The sales lady gushed. We snapped out of the trance and stepped further away from each other, cheeks colored pink. "Here!" The sales lady chirped and handed me a Polaroid.

It was a picture of that moment we had. Was it even a moment? I knew it meant something to me, I felt electrified. Okay, this sounds stupid. Stop thinking, Brain!

"Um... Well, it's getting l-late. We have to go. B-bye!" I stuttered and grabbed an umbrella. I put some money on the counter and dashed out of the store.

"Hey! Wait up!" Blake called. I stopped and looked down at my feet. This was going to be AWKWARD!

"I'll hold it." He said and took the umbrella from me. We walked through the pouring rain and after ten minutes he didn't even say anything.

I guess he didn't care about what happened back there. I couldn't blame him though, I was just an average girl with no amazing features.

"That's not true." Blake said. "Uh. No! I- didn't. I- meant. Oh gosh." I sighed and ran to the door to ring the doorbell. I can't believe I just said it out loud.

"Isabella! Wait!" He shouted and grabbed my hand just before the door opened. "Hey! You guys are- Oof!" Josh fell onto the floor and I ran up to my room.

You had to be so stupid! You had to say it out loud!

I mentally punched myself so many times and fell face first on my pillow. My door creaked open and I tried to pretend I wasn't in the room. I hid under the blanket and remained perfectly still.

"Come on, Isabella. It's okay, it's me." Olivia said and I felt the bed dip. I poked my head out and sighed, sitting upright. "What happened?" She asked. I told her everything that happened and showed her the Polaroid.

"Isabella, it's okay! He won't think you're the overly attached girlfriend or whatever! He definitely won't think you're a freak either! Just talk to him. He's waiting at the garden." She said and pushed some hair out of my face.

I nodded my head in defeat and slowly got out if bed. I took as long as I could to walk to the garden and when I arrived he looked up. His gorgeous eyes met mine and- Did I just call his eyes gorgeous? I'm going crazy!

"Bella..." He said and looked at me with uncertainty. "Yeah? Olivia said you called me." I mumbled. He stood up and took a deep breath.

"Bella, I don't think you're crazy or anything. Don't worry about that." He said. I laughed a little and stared at my feet. "I think you're beautiful and you have lots of amazing qualities in you. You're special but you just don't know it." I felt my cheeks heat up and I was sure they were pink.

"What happened back there... I'm sure you felt it too. The electricity. I just want you to know I care about you and yeah. I'm not good at this kind of stuff." He chuckled.

I felt his finger under my chin and he pushed my head up so our eyes met. "I-" I tried to speak but he was leaning in closer. I just kept my mouth shut and my eyes fluttered close. Our noses touched and he...

A/N: HEYY! Don't kill me! I know it's a cliff hanger! ;) So what do you think happened. I bet you're wondering: "HE? HE WHAT?!" Yep! MUAHAHAHA! Don't be mad! TILL THE MEXT CHAPTER! VOTE COMMENT AND DO WHATEVER YOU COOL POTATOES DO!
