Happy New Year!
I looked around and didn't see Bella.
"You should go look for her," Meghan suggested.
"She is probably with Damien," I looked down.
"Stop looking so depressed. I thought you were here on a mission," Meghan said.
I spotted Damien, but he was alone. I decided to go look for her, but before I could take another step, Jake stopped me.
"Hey, I need you to do something for me," he said nervously.
"Yeah, what's up?" I asked.
"I...I'm going to propose to Jane," he said quickly. "Record her reaction for me."
"What? No way! Isn't it a bit soon?" I said excitedly.
"I don't think so. I've wanted to marry that girl since I fell in love with her. She is the one. So help me!" Jake looked at me like he was about to have a meltdown.
"Aww, don't worry, little bro, I got you," I smirked. Who knew our little bad boy Jake would fall this hard for someone.
I watched as Jake dragged Jane across the room. "Waiiit! I am not done eating my meatballs yet!" she screamed.
"Jane, there's something I need to tell you," Jake said.
"What is it?" her eyes were wide.
"Janey, I love you. When I first met you, I wasn't sure how I felt about you, so I tried to torture you like an idiot. But a lot has changed since then, and I now know for sure that you are the only one I want," he paused for breath.
"Um...Jake, I love you too. What's going on?" Jane asked nervously. She gasped as Jake knelt down and took a ring out.
"Jane Brown, will you marr-..."
"YESSSS!" Jane screamed.
Jake chuckled and put the ring on her finger. Everyone clapped, and they started to make out in the middle of the crowd.
"Get a room!" I yelled.
I saw Bella run to Jane and give her a hug. Oh, there she is.
I got busy congratulating Jake and Jane, so I didn't have the chance to approach Bella. At the end of the night, I lost sight of her again.
"If you are looking for Red, I saw her leave the party," Meghan said while munching on a bag of chips.
"She did? But Damien's right there," I was confused. Didn't they come together?
"Fuck if I know? I am just here to kickstart your love life," she shrugged.
I went over to Damien. "What's up. Where's Bella?" I asked.
"Figured she'd be with you," Damien said. He looked sad.
"Why would she be with me? She is your girlfriend," I said irritably.
"She is not. At least not anymore. We broke up because of you," Damien snapped.
"Because of me?" I looked at him in shock.
"Jesus Aaron, are those muscles blocking your brain activities too? She had never been into me. It has only been you. She stalked you, for fucks sake. Get a clue!" Damien was annoyed.
"Say no more," I said quickly. "I need to go see her."
"Do what you need while I drink away my misery," Damien croaked out.
"You've dated her for like 2 minutes. Chill out," I smacked him on the shoulder. "There are other girls. Hey! Meghan is single!"
"Bye, douchebag!" Damien chuckled and flipped me off.
I drove to Bella's house. I know it was late and her aunt will probably kill me, but I couldn't wait another second without seeing her.
Her bedroom light was on, which means she wasn't asleep. I called her.
"Aaron?" she answered.
"Open the door. I'm outside," I said matter of factly.
"It's 2 am in the morning!" she exclaimed.
"And the grass is green. Your point?" I said. I heard the dial tone then footsteps from inside the house. The door opened, and there she was, standing in front of me wearing a thin nightgown. Her hair was loose and messy, falling all over her face. Goddamn, she is beautiful!
"Sorry, did I wake you?" I smirked.
"You are so annoying!" she groaned.
"Aren't you being too loud? Your aunt might wake up," I warned.
"She is out of town to celebrate new year's eve with her friend," she said.
I looked at her for a few moments, then grabbed the back of her head and pulled her into a kiss. She didn't resist and wrapped her arms around my neck to deepen the kiss.
I still had a cast on one of my arms, so I used my other hand to drag her into the bedroom.
She grabbed my collar and smashed her lips against mine. Her tongue hungrily twirled inside my mouth while I explored her body over her nightgown.
"Aaron, you jerk. What about Meghan?" she whispered against my lips.
"Just a friend," I said and bit her collar bone.
She pushed me down on the bed and ripped my shirt open then stroked my chest and abs.
Oh, I do like a woman in charge!
