It has been a week since I saw or heard anything from Bella and Maggie.

Life went on as though nothing had happened.

I used to spend my free time with Maggie, watching her while Bella worked but now I spent my free period working overtime to keep myself busy.

Against my better judgment I even agreed to go a date with the lady my mom was so eager to set me up with. Jessica was her name.

She was a nice lady, boring as hell and quite talkative but nice just the same.

One of the perks of going out with this Jessica was that she actually seemed to like me. I could tell by the way she looked at me as if I was something to eat, the way she sighed and looked so content whenever I said something.

In fact, she was basically drooling over me.

It was a little off putting. At least she showed her emotions though.

With Bella I never knew what the hell she was thinking, what I meant to her. Well, till now.

It was pretty clear she didn't want me the way I wanted her. Not only because of what happened at the hospital but because she was at the same bar as me and Jessica and she was there with another guy.

I instantly awaked from my comatose state seeing her across the room. Jessica was blabbing on about something, what, I don't know. I only had eyes and ears for Bella.

I leaned sideways in my seat trying to hear well but it was no use with all the noise in the place. Jessica rambling on wasn't helping either.

I could only make out a laugh and smile on Bella's face. I felt a twinge of pain and jealously at the same time.

I looked the guy over she was with. He looked like a classic sleaze ball. He had womanizer written all over him. It angered and frustrated me that Bella could not see this, that this guy was only interested in one thing.

As soon as I saw the guy head over to the bathroom I made my move. I excused myself from Jessica and proceeded over to Bella.

She gave me a lazy smile as I approached, not looking a bit surprised to see me, than again it might have been the alcohol in her system. She was clearly buzzed.

"He's not good enough for you." I voiced, unable to hold my thoughts in any longer.

Bella smirked and looked over my shoulder at Jessica.

"What are you doing with that girl?"

"Why does it matter, you don't want anything with me." I stated.

She took a sip of her beer before voicing, "That's ok if you want to play house with that girl; we both know whose house you're going to tonight." She said flirtatiously.

I froze in my spot not sure how to take Bella's forwardness.

"I missed you." She added.

"Sure it's me you miss and not the booze talking?" I asked carefully, eyeing her drink.

"Yeah, you miss me?" She questioned playfully, wrapping her arms around my neck, still holding her beer in one hand.

"Bella, I don't want to play games." I said firmly, feeling my walls slowly crumbing down.

"Neither do I and you didn't answer my question."

I looked into her chocolate brown eyes and felt myself becoming weak again.

"Yes, I miss you and Maggie every day I'm apart from you two."

A slow smile spreads to her lips.

"Hold that thought, I'll be right back." She said and went off to find the loser she came with.

I watched curious as she and the guy talk for a few minutes and then she walked back to me.

"OK, let's go." She voiced, grabbing her coat off her stool.

"What about your guy friend?"

"I told him a better offer came to the table. Now are you going to take me home or what?"
