CHAPTER 4

After 10 minutes of directing Noah we finally reached Ky's home.

"Thanks for the ride big guy" I said getting out of the car.

"No problem" he smiled.

"See you later" I said skipping away with plastic bags dangling in my hands.

I rang the doorbell. Kylie opened the door and she looked more miserable than how I left her.

"Baby girl what's wrong" I asked hugging her. She cried and cried till my legs felt sore for standing with the bags for so long.

Finally she pulled apart and took the bags from my hand and dug into it.

"Girl what happened?" I asked.

"We broke up!!" she cried loudly.

"Awww...baby it's alright. You can cry. Don't worry, I know he will come back" I consoled rubbing circles on her back.

~

I groaned loudly as alarm kept blaring in my ears. I took fucking alarm and threw it out of the window.

"Bella that was my alarm!" Ky whined. "Shit I will buy you another one" I mumbled drifting of to sleep again.

"Wake up Bella we have school" Ky nudged me.

"Fuck that"  I muttered.

"Rosabella Romero get up this instant" "Must you always torture me?" I asked getting up.

"Yes now go get ready. And just so you know I changed the place, fresh sets of a unused undergarments are at the bottom cabinet to the left in my wardrobe" Ky informed me.

"Don't worry I bought my clothes with me. It's in my school bag"

"Great" Ky said getting out of the room probably to use the other bathroom.

After showering and brushing my teeth, I get my bag and wore my outfit.

A black vintage shirt, brown plaid pants with a brown belt along with my black combat boots.

I used some mascara and thin coat of lip balm. Heading down stairs, I found Ky eating the leftover snacks already.

Settling next to her, I join as well. We reached School a bit early. People around us started whispering among themselves when the saw us.

"They're just jealous of you" I said and dropping her to class.

Then I went in search of Alex. I found him by  his friend's locker arguing with Max, even the others were there.

"Alex you have a lot of explaining to do" I said sternly. Alex knowing me shuddered.

"Hi Rose" Noah chirped.

"Don't. Don't call me- I'll deal with you later. Alex! What the hell were you thinking? I get it, it's all Kylie's fault, she was being a big dumb ass but you can't let this get in between of you."

"I need some time" he said slowly.

"Of course you do. You have every right to be mad but is this the right thing? Breaking up? Ignoring her? Pushing her away. You and I both know how much you love each other" I tried explaining.

"I know but my mind is a mess. I just-....."

"You better not regret your decision. You told her to move on so easily but will you be able to see her laughing, hugging, kissing and...walking on the beach with someone else?" I asked but he remained quiet with a frown etched on his face.

"Think about it before it gets too late. And you come with me" I said dragging Noah along with me.

"Never. Never call me Rose. Got that?"

"Why it's a nice name" he argued.

"Just don't"

"Why?"

"Don't"

"Why?"

"Don't"

"Why?"

"Don't"

"Why?"

"Uggghhhh.....because I hate. I hate roses. I hate them with all my life"

"But I like them and I like you too so I'll call you Rose."

"I am warning you if you ever call me Rose again I will dug your grave and bury you alive" I huff stomping to my class as his laugh echoed in the almost empty hallway.

~

*Lunch time*

"He hasn't talk to me yet" Kylie said depressed and her shoulders slumped down.

"Don't stress hun. He just needs some time. More over it is not good for your skin" I said sitting down in the empty seat along with Kylie.

"Hello ladies" Max says and takes a seat next to Kylie as the other guys sit down as well.

"Hey Rose" Noah chirped sitting next to me.

"Why you little-" I reach my hand towards his head to smack him but he grabs my hand and pulled me closer to him.

My cheeks flushed as we were just few centimetres away and my breath hitched.

"Guys" Max fake-coughed.

"Idiot" I muttered as we broke apart.

"Heeyyyy that's mean" Max whined.

"I wasn't referring it to you idiot"

"But you just called me an idiot" Max whined yet again.

Kylie giggled at us. It was good to see her laughing again.

"You love your best friend very much huh?" Noah asked slowly.

"Of course I do. She's been there for me since forever"

"I wish you would love me that much as well"

"Never"

"Why are you so cold?"

"You know you are nothing like those rumours say about you"

"Rumours aren't necessarily true. Moreover you're more beautiful than those rumours say"

I huff in annoyance and munch my sandwich.

"Your cheeks are red you know" he informed with a tint of amusement in his voice.

"Shut up"

"So much love"

"You're so annoying"

"Only for you love" he winked at me.

I scoff and continue eating my lunch as he threw his head back and laughed.

~

*Rosabella's P.O.V.*

Two weeks later

I groan at the sight of Noah following behind me. I take back whatever I said about him when I first met him.

He's being so annoying!! Although it's quite amusing at time but sometimes I want to skin him alive! Ugh.

However his annoyingly charming face stops me somehow. Moreover he was the one who found my phone so that's another point.

"Rose" he called.

"What is it?"

"You know that you've left you're bike in the parking lot, haven't you?" He asked with a tint if amusement in his voice.

My jaw drops when I realize I had actually got out of the school. I rush back to the parking lot and put on my helmet.

"Bye munchkin!" He waved at me happily.

"Bye" with that I sped off.

Since it was Friday, I went straight to Kylie's house but to my surprise, Max opened the door.

This was Kylie's house wasn't it?? Did she move out without telling me sneaky little girl!! Wait no-

"Max what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I just dropped by to return her notebook" he grinned.

"Bella!" Kylie chirped as soon as she saw me.

"I get going then, bye Ky, bye Bella" with one last smile, Max went out.

"What's going on between the both of you?" I ask.

"We're just friends Bella" she chuckled.

"He seemed like he wanted more than be just friends" I commented.

"Who knows?" She laughed.

"What about Alex?"

"We- we still haven't talked" she muttered sadly.

"Don't you worry when Bella is here! We can binge watch Netflix tonight. You said you wanted to watch Mortal Engines, right?" I said cheering her up.

She gave me a wide smile and plopped down on the couch with me.

*2 hours later*

"That was awesome!" She squealed.

"Yeah!" I chuckled.

"Shit I almost forgot, Max is throwing a party tonight, wanna join me?" She suggested.

"Nah this practice sessions have tired me out" I groaned.

"Are you sure? You're gonna miss all the fun" she pouted.

"No. I'm tired. You have fun. I'll get going"

"Okay. Drive safe"

"That's my line girl, Bye"

After what felt like hours I reached home.

"I've been waiting for like 40 minutes" a voice booms in the dark.

Gasping, I flicker on the lights, Noah sat at the end of the staircase with a scowl on his face.

"I didn't tell you to. Moreover how'd you get inside?" I question taking off my shoes.

"Hididng the spare key under the pot isn't creative at all"he said getting up and stretched himself.

Don't you DARE look!!!

"T-there were more than 20 flower pots outside"

"I'm a patient guy. Now how about we Netflix and cuddle" he winked.

"Nah I'm hungry" I said getting inside the kitchen.

"How about I cook?" He suggested.

"You can cook?" I asked.

"Of course, leave it all to Master Noah!"

I rolled my eyes but can't help the smile that creeps up my face.

I sit on the counter top watching him cook gracefully. There was something about him, something regal?

"Isn't Max throwing a party? Why aren't you there?" I asked.

"I was tired and spending time with you  sounded more appealing" he winked.

Knowing my cheeks were probably flushed I just nodded and stared out of the window.

~

"You're one hell of a chef" I said taking a last bite of my pasta.

"Thank you" he bowed down playfully.

Picking up the plates, I quickly do the dishes as Noah stared at my back.

"Where are your parents?" He asked me suddenly.

"My dad  is a surgeon so he is barely home , mom a fashion designer in the main city while my brother moved out with his fiancee. What about yours?" I ask.

"I live alone. Dad is probably working and mum most likely watching the sunset.

"You don't have siblings?"

"An older brother"

"Ughh, is you brother as annoying as mine?" I sigh.

Noah chuckles at my question and hands me a towel to dry my hands.

"Aren't all siblings supposed to be? So which movie do you wanna watch?" He asks following me to the T.V room.

"I don't know. How about MIB International?" I suggest and he puts on the movie.

Halfway through the movie it was past 10.

"Hey do you wanna stay over?" I asked.

"Why so you can do lewd things to me?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Forget I even asked!" I shouted as my cheeks flared.

He laughs throwing his head back.

Oh how beautiful. No no no.

"Yes I'll stay the night over if you don't mind" he said.

Nodding my head I diverted my attention back to the movie.

~

"No way!! How come you never visited an amusement park!?" I shouted.

"I'm sorry?" Noah rubs the back of his neck.

"Oh no. I'm so taking you there. You go back home, take a shower, get dressed and come back as soon as possible. NOW!" I commanded.

"Okay!" With that he was out.

I rummage through my closet and picked out my OOTD.

It was a white long sleeved v neck top with ripped denim shorts along with black combat boots.

I curled my hair and applied a thin layer of eyeliner and mascara and a coat of lip gloss.

After some waiting, Noah pulled up at my house again and the we hit the road.

All the while I noticed him having a hard time taking his eyes off my legs. Pfftt....of course he should, they're my gift. I'm proud to say I was 5'7.

Occassionally I would my legs together seductively and moved them around so he couldn't divert his attention elsewhere.

Internally laughing I leave him alone when we almost ran into a tree.

And here we are.....

Here I come Haunted house!!
