Chapter 21

"Nathan Harrison"

Last night was truly surprised me. I just can't believe Bella came back to me after what happened. I thought I will never see her again, and now she is with me again. And I will make sure it will never happened again. Neither of us will leave…I guaranteed that.

"Morning, sleepyhead." My wife, Isabella kissed me on the cheek to wake me up.

"Mmm.....morning." I pulled her into my hug.

"Hey.... go take a shower, you're smelly, you know." She keeps poking my stomach.

I laughed. "Okay...okay....I'll take shower now."

She pinched my nose. "Make sure to shave your beard, 'cause its not suit you at all."

"Yes, ma'am.." I obeyed her.

"Attaboy!!" She rubbed my messy hair.

"Of course I am." I replied. "I'll do everything that you ask me too."

I took a long shower since I smell like a beer so much and my mouth too, taste so weird. I took a the razor to shave the beard that grew on my chin and also a little on my cheek.

I wore a black shirt with a blue-black short pants after done taking the shower. Then, I swiftly went to the kitchen where my wife was waiting for me at the dining table.

"Now, you look clean and handsome, young man." She teased me again.

I chortled. "That's really funny."

She walked closer to me and then tiptoed so she could stand as the same level as my ears. "Happy 19th birthday, Nathan." She whispered.

Today is my birthday?

Because I think I just forgot about it.

I smiled. "Thanks, Bella."

She wraps her arms around my neck. "What should I get you for a gift? What do you want?"

I pretend to think for awhile. "Well.....I don't know yet. Because I already got what I want. Especially my gorgeous wife." I put my hands around her waist.

"Alright.....that's so sweet of you. But, I still want to get you a something as a gift." She fixes my messy hair a bit.

"I'll tell you later, okay." I rest my forehead on hers. "Because right now, I'm so starving."

She giggled. "Okay....let's eat now."

So I decided to take my wife to the mall nearby since she kept insisting to buy a gift for my birthday. I love the way she did that it made my heart skip beat. But anyway, she is so stubborn and a very sweet wife.

"Okay, how about a shirt?" I asked her.

She shakes her head, "No....too simple."

I sighed.,"Shoes?"

She shook her head again.

"Belts? Jackets?"

"Nope." She wrapped her right on my waist while walking around the mall with me.

"U-um.....how about food!!?"

She suddenly stopped from walking and knitted her eyebrow while staring at me with her beautiful grey eyes in disbelief.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"Really, Nathan? Food for a birthday gift?" She crossed my arms while gave me a glare.

I grinned, "Then what? You always declined everything that I suggested to you."

"Fine....sorry about that," she sighed heavily. "Just pick whatever you want, I promise I will not decline it this time."

"Promise?" I touched her pointed nose.

"Promised." She replied along with a sweet smile.

"Please don't mad, but I still don't know what I want," I said while scratching the back of my hair.

Bella sighed more heavily as heard my words.

"Come on, let's grab some food," I suggested while pulling her into my arms. "Food really does make me happy, so you don't need to get me any gift, believe me."

"Alright then," she seemed a bit disappointed.

I smile, "Hey don't be like that," I lift her chin so she could face me. "Don't you want to be happy for my birthday, huh?"

"I do, but…"

I cut her in, "No buts….come on give me a smile, please….for me…"

She giggles, "Okay okay…I'm sorry."

"That's my beautiful wife…" I pulled her more closer to me then slowly leaned to kiss her on the lips which she gladly kissed me back.

We then went back to our apartment after hanging out at the mall for all days. We already had dinner outside so, there was nothing much to do at our house. It was kind of bored…so I looked up at my dvd collections to find a good movie for us to watch.

"Let's watch movie..." I suggested to her as she entered my bedroom then walked towards me who was searching a movie at the shelf at the corner of the room.

"What movie?" She asked while examining the collection of movies that I have on the shelf.

"Anything, just pick one." I replied. "But, no horror, 'cause I can't stand loud music whenever the ghost appear."

"Don't lie to me.... you're scared of the ghost aren't you, Nathan?" She poked my stomach.

"Absolutely not...."

"Okay....let's watch....um....The Ring," she suggested while grabbing the dvd from the shelf before handed it over.

"Okay.....okay....I'll tell you the truth," I put the dvd on the player under the tv inside of my room where she already sat on the bed waiting for the movie to start. "I'm scare of the ghost. Happy now, Bella Dawson?"

She giggled a bit. "I guess I am, Nathan Harrison."

We then burst into laughing together.

"Okay then, let's watch it." I brace myself then lied beside her on the bed where she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Are serious?" She knitted her eyebrow.

"U-um...Y-yes, I am...." I hesitated at first but I have to prove to her that I wasn't scare of ghost.

"Alright then...." she said. "It started now."

I shouted like a girl when suddenly the ghost appears on the screen. I then quickly pulled the blanket covering my face from watching that movie.

"Hey.... you surprised me," Bella complained.

"Why...is that fuc.....I mean the ghost suddenly appeared on the screen as you switch the channel? Are you joking around with me? Because I almost got a heart attack you know." I was trembling a bit, because the image of the ghost keeps playing on my mind.

She laughed in disbelief. "You're really a scaredy-cat, you know."

"No...I'm not. Don't judge me like that." I protested.

"Yes, you're... Nathan is a scaredy-cat ~," she mocks me.

Argh.....since when she knew how to tease me.

"Ha-ha... very funny." I crossed my arms while pouting my lips.

She quickly gave me a peck on my lips. "Okay, I'm sorry for mocking you, Nathan." She then rests her head on my arm again. "Now, let's watch the movie again."

"Alright.....but let me cover my face with the pillow first." I took the pillow and put it in front of our face.

She laughed. "If you did that, how we supposed to watch the movie?"

"Okay....okay....I'll remove the pillow." I said while throwing the pillow towards my leg.

"You sure are really funny, Nathan." She pinched my nose.

"Awww....awwww.....that's hurt." I winced in pain.

"Isabella Dawson"

We went to the campus together the next morning where Nathan has an early class while for me it will start about two more hours. So I decided to hang out at the library since my class is just next door. But unfortunately, I bumped into someone….someone who is annoying in this whole world.

"Look who's finally back here..." And that person is none other than, Sierra.

"What do you want, Sierra?" I asked her without looking at her annoying face.

"Nothing..... I just love to see you miserable. Finally, you're ending up your relationship with Nathan who is not suit you at all."

Seriously, I want to laugh out loud when knowing that she really have no idea about what happened.

"I don't care a word that will come out from your mouth." I replied while trying to walk away from her.

"Hey bitch... don't you dare walk with me while I was talking!!!" She raised her voice that attracted everyone's attention.

"What you keep bothering me, Sierra?" I faced her. "What did I ever do to you?"

"You did nothing to me, bitch." She replied while poking my forehead rudely for several times. "But I hate nerdy like you think she can get everything she wants, including a hot guy like Nathan. Who do you think you are, weirdo? You are not pretty at all....you just ugly like those nerds in this campus."

She really crossed her line this time.

I swatted her hand from me. "Don't touch me!"

"How dare you raise your voice to me!" She pushed me on my chest. "Who do you think you're now, bitch!" She was about to slap me when someone suddenly grabbed her hand from behind.

"Don't you ever touch, my wife!!!" The familiar husky voice said it loudly and he is my Nathan.

"Nathan...." Sierra was surprised to see him.

"Leave her alone, Sierra!" He warned her.

"B-but.....but....she and you...already...."

He cuts her in. "We are back together again. You, that bastard boyfriend of yours and anyone else can't separate us again. Remember that!!"

He took my hand and dragged me with him leaving Sierra who seems to freeze up.

"Phew..... luckily I fast enough came to you." He slides some of my hair that covers my face. "Or Sierra might be slap straight on your pretty face."

"Thank you, Nathan." I leaned closer to hug my husband.

He chuckled. "It's not a big deal, baby. It's my job as your husband to protect you." He then planted a kiss on my forehead.

"I want to tell you that I have a practice today. So...um.....I will meet you up at the court, okay?"

"Nathan!!" I raised my voice a little.

I saw his Adam's apple move upwards, then downwards for once.

"Y-yes...." he seems a little bit scare of me.

"How many times you want to injure yourself?" I crossed my arms, making my angry face to him. "No....I won't let you play this time."

He frowned. "Please...just one more time. Pleaseee!!!!" He begged me like a child.

Aww.....he's too cute for me to handle.

But for his sake, I need to stop him. "No....I don't want something bad to happen to you again. Did you remember what the doctor said to you last time?"

He nodded for several times. "Yeah...."

"So, I won't let you play that sport again."

He pouted his lips. "But I'm the captain.....I need to play. Please...."

I put my index finger on his lips. "I said no...I'm a future doctor too, so please listen to me, Nathan for your sake."

He sighed heavily. "Fine...."

"Attaboy." I rubbed his messy hair. "Now go to your class....you're late."

"Okay, see you later." He gave me a quick peck on my lips.

"See you later." I replied back.

He waved his hands at me and then rushing to his class which was at the end of the hallway.

"My beloved husband, is so childish." I murmured to myself as I watched his back until his figure no longer to be seen.

As I promised to him, I let my husband to play basketball unless he got hurt one more time and he will be say goodbye to this sport forever. So I went to the court accompanied by both of my friends, Sasha and Cecilia where they wanted to watch their boyfriends too.

I could see Nathan was so happy why he was training with his teammates from the bleachers across the court. Meanwhile the cheerleader teams who usually practice with their thingy were here too, but unfortunately, they were trying to get the guys' attentions. And my man is in that team…so they better not be do something stupid or else…

"Bella," Sasha snapped m out from my thought.

"Don't worry about them, I already gave them warning not to disturb our men, believe me."

"O-oh..that's great, Sasha."
