A=Aquarium
Bella POV
"Hey Will, me and the girls are heading out to the aquarium; wait make that Cleo and I, Rikki just texted that Zane wants to hang out. And now it looks like it's just me, Cleo's parents are making her go on a family camping trip so do wanna come with? Oh and don't worry about, well you know, I'll be careful." I said. Will just shrugged and nodded. He almost had this faraway look in his eyes, like he is thinking about someone. I really hoped he didn't have a girlfriend, wait what if it's Rikki. No no it can't be Rikki, she would never do that to me because she knows I love him. "Rikki knows you love who?" I heard Will ask. Crap did I just say that out loud. "Umm, my dog Lucy, she is such a sweetie." I replied. "I thought you are allergic to dogs?" Will asked, looking very confused. "Oh, I am, it's just that...We only just found out and so we had to give her away?" I sorta asked. "You could trick Rikki, Cleo, or pretty much anyone else with that voice and smile, pretty much anyone, but me. Now what is going on, and don't pull any tricks because I will see right through them." He said looking straight through my lie. "Ok ok, I was talking about how much I love...our friendship." I said knowing that he would not believe me whatsoever. Now that we are inside the aquarium, I replayed a song lyric in my head
Work it out
The way that you walk and call my name
Give me a smile, don't play that game
I worked you out
He completely worked me out and I can't play games anymore. I can't believe that he almost found out that I love him. Yes yes, I, Isabella Rose Hartley, am in love with Will Benjamin. Of course, not that I could ever tell him. I would ruin our friendship and I would absolutely hate that to happen. When we passed the dolphin exhibit, I could just see Cleo loving this. Then we passed the shark tank and I thought of how much the sharks reminded me of Rikki because of their fiesty personality. All of a sudden I looked at where Will was just standing to ask him where he wanted to go next and he was missing, as usual. I was just about to call his cell when I felt something cover my eyes. "Guess who," I heard a high-pitched voice say. "Ummm, Justin Beiber?" A/N No offense to JB fans, I just honestly think he has a really high-pitched voice. I asked. Then I heard the voice very high, but squeaky this time. "Umm, Nate?"Wrong," I heard whispered into my ear. Then my eyes were uncovered and I could see Will standing in front of me with a Silver Mermaid necklace. He placed it on my neck and I saw a small note drop out of the wrapping he was holding. I grabbed it before he could see it fell. I put it in the pocket of my sundress and we started walking toward the Arctic exhibit. When Will turned to look at the penguins I quickly read the note. It said
Dear Bella,
I would like to know if you will be my girlfriend. I really truly like, no love you. I am still deciding if I should give you this note. If I do I really hope that you will say yes. You know what, I don't think I will give you this note. I am the founder and only member of the We 3 Bella club. Wait why the hell did I just say that. Oh well. Bella, if I do end up giving you this note, I want you to look on the mermaids tail.
I love you Bella Hartley and I hope and pray that you love me back.
Love,
The guy who is head over heels for the most wonderful girl on the planet, Bella. A.K.A. Me, Will
I almost started crying until I remembered what the note told me to do. I turned over the necklace, and there, engraved into the tail forever, said I love the most amazing and wonderful girl on the planet, Bella. With love from your lover, Will, The boy who is head-over-heels for you.
I turned to Will, gave him a hug from behind, and said "Of course I will be your girlfriend, I love you too." He looked at me like I had five heads, until I held up the note. "Oh, you little rat, I'm gonna get you." He said. He started to walk closer and he almost had me until I realized what he was doing. "Well if you want me so badly, you're gonna have to catch me first!" I screamed. "Oh, it's ON," he shouted back. We started running until the security gaurd saw us and told us to slow down or get out. I told Will to meet me at his boatshed in an hour.
I went home and changed because we smelled like penguin poop, that might have something to do with Will stepping in some penguin poop and then I stepped where he had walked. I ran over to his boatshed and walked right in. Turns out Will was in the middle of changing and he was shirtless. I turned and tried to run but somehow whe I was turning, I had gotten myself tangled in one of the ropes on the ground. I'm guessing that he heard me scream and turned around just in time to see me start to fall. He rushed over and caught me by the waist just before I hit the ground. I looked up to say thanks and saw his face super close to mine. We were leaning in to kiss when Sophie picks right this second to walk in. "Hello, walking in here," she screamed. He dropped me and looked at Sophie nervously. "Owww, hey what happened to catching me." I looked at him. He just shrugged. Will decided to go to the bathroom right this second. "Well, I have to go out of town to help a friend and I won't be back until at least next week, Ashley needs some surgury done and her husband is away in the navy, so she needs me to watch her kids while she is in the surgury and in recovery. I need Bella to stay here with you while you recover from that near-death experience yesterday, can you do that for me?" Sophie asked me. "Ummm, sure I guess. But where will I sleep?" I asked. "Oh, that's not problem, you can sleep in my bed." she answered. Sophie said that she had to go now to get there in time so Will and I decided to watch a movie. "How about What's it with love. I love that movie," I decided. "Nah, too rom-com. Hey whaat about Friday the 13th, horror movies are the best," he argued. In the end we decided on an action movie that I don't remeber the title of. I snuggled into him, watching the movie with partial attention. The other part of my attention was on Will. When he went to go get the popcorn I grabbed a pillow and snuggled with that instead. "So not the same. Hey Will get back here soon, I'm getting lonely." I pouted. "Hey, I better be way better than that little pillow." He said while throwing some popcorn at me. After I got him back by dumping a handful of popcorn on his head. When the movie finished we were getting ready for bed when I walked in on Will shirtless for the second time today. "You just couldn't stay away, could you." he said, smirking. "Well, Sophie thinks that we should be getting to bed," I said back. "Wait where are you sleeping?" He asked with a little troublemaking smirk on his face. "Sophie said that I could use her room for now, why?" I asked, not sure if I wantedd to hear the answer. "Well, there is one other option, if you want to know what that is, you must earn it," He smirked again. I was really afaid what the answer would be but my curiousity took over, "How?"So glad you asked that. Now how about I show you how," He said while still smirking. "Ok, show me," I answered with complete curiousity. "Like this," and he kissed me lightly on the lips. Then he told me that I could just sleep with him in his bed. "Oh, it's on." I took one of his pillows and started whacking him in the head with it. He grabbed the pillow from my hand and started whacking me back. Then he started tickling me. I, for some reason, couldn't get up the strength to slap is hand away. I ended up falling asleep in his arms and right before I fell asleep I told myselt that today is the best day ever.
