Here is the next chapter. I always find it funny when writing chapters with Ruby and Bella interacting, you see I have two dogs both Moodle's (Maltese x Toy Poodles) and their names are Ruby and Bella so I always find it funny to be writing about humans with the same names as my dogs! hope you all like it and please review! Thanks Dannielle xoxo

BELLA POV
It had been four days since Cooper had flown to Hawaii and he had just texted me to go on Skype, it was 6am in Australia and 10am in Honolulu. I clicked onto Skype and almost instantly Cooper was calling me. I pressed answer "hey" I said sleepily "morning sleeping beauty" he laughed "it's 6am here Coop, I hope you realise that you are lucky because I don't get up before the sun does" I said, he laughed "oh yeah, I forgot about the time difference, how've you been?" he asked "mm alright" I said "what about you, what exciting things have you been doing?" I asked interested to see what he had been up to "urgh he's talking to her" Ella said from the background , I rolled my eyes "morning Ella!" I called and Cooper stifled laughter. "it's pretty cool over here but it would have been better if you had of come" he said "ha ha" I replied "you would love the surf here, the waves are massive" he said looking to the side of the computer "yeah always heard that, sounds awesome" I said taking a sip of water from the cup beside my bed "IS DAT BELLA!" I heard Natayaliah squeal "yeah Tahls you want to say hi?" Cooper asked as he hoisted Natayaliah onto his lap "hey pretty girl" I smiled "BELLA!" she squealed, Cooper and I both laughed at her excitement "you coming over Bella?" she asked clapping her hands together "no honey, I am in Australia remember?" I said shaking my head "oh" she said sulking "you'll be back soon and I can see you then" I said and her face lit up "yeah, yeah, yeah!" she cheered "you can come here!" she shouted "NO, NO honey I said when you come home" I repeated "no you come here! I fly you over, I have money in my piggy bank! Lots of it!" she said nodding her head seriously "oh honey that is sweet but you can't waste your money you have to buy that Barbie!" I said smiling "but I want you, you're like Barbie but better" she said looking at Cooper "hey Cooper" she said nodding "she is better than Barbie" he said winking at me, I rolled my eyes "alright, I am getting tired I will call you later this arvo okay, about 1pm it will be… ah 5pm there" I said quickly calculating the time difference "wow, you worked that out quick. Okay I will come back on then" he said "no Bella don't go!" Natayaliah cried "I'll talk to you in 7 hours" I said holding up 7 fingers "okay promise" she said as she flicked up 7 fingers "in this many" she added "in that many" I repeated "talk to you later sweetie" I said blowing her a kiss "I miss you babe" Cooper said "yeah me too" I added blowing him a kiss before hanging up and going back to sleep.
COOPER POV
I was lying on the beach totally bored, Natayaliah was playing in the water, my mum and Sarah were gossiping and reading magazines and my dad and Clayton were out playing golf while I was stuck here with Ella, she kept hitting on me and flirting but it just never landed. I didn't want to be lying on the beach in paradise with Ella I wanted to be lying on the beach in paradise with Bella. I wasn't having as much fun as I used to when I came here, usually I would be with my girlfriend since most of my ex's were family friends that we used to vacation with, Bella was different she was from a whole other world than I was but she was real. She balanced me out and kept me focused on the important things. My thoughts were interrupted by Ella "so where did you and Bella meet?" she asked like saying the word Bella made her want to throw up "in a party shop" I replied "in a party shop" she sneered "what was she doing checking out the clearance bin when you met her" she laughed bitchily "no I met her in the dressing rooms when she was trying on a costume" I shot back smiling at the first time I saw her in the red leather jumpsuit "what costume" Ella asked "the devil" I replied "sounds like a perfect fit" she answered "yeah whatever" I said getting up and heading for the water "Cooper wait" Ella called but I just kept walking hoping to get away from her.
RUBY POV
I woke up and headed downstairs to have breakfast, it was only 8:30am but I was surprised that Bella wasn't at the table "morning mum" I said grabbing a mug and filling it with hot coffee "where's Bella?" I asked sitting in front of her "still in bed sweetie why?" she asked "oh we were going to go to the gym this morning" I responded "I might just go see if she's awake" I said heading upstairs. I knocked gently before opening the door, I knew Bella would be pissed if I didn't wake her up so I gently shook her shoulder, she moved slightly as I shook her a little harder "Belle" I whispered "mm" she said wriggling and opening her eyes "oh hey Rubes, what time is it?" she asked "8:30"I replied "oh shit! The gym" she said bounding out of bed and hurrying downstairs "morning Charlie" she said taking some coffee "hey, instead of going to the gym I thought maybe you wanted to have a girly day in the city with Bianca?" she asked "I'm in" I squeaked excitedly "mm, I don't know I should go to the gym" Bella said unsure "come on Belle you've been going all day every day, come have some fun with us" Charlie begged "alright" Bella said giving in. I jumped excitedly "I have to get ready!" I gasped before running upstairs.
CHARLIE POV
A few hours later and the four of us were lying in a quiet, calm room that was dimly lit with candles and the smell of lavender hung in the air. We had just received facials and were left to relax with our feet soaking in a warm bath of essential oils, we were chatting about everything and anything, the latest shoes and fashion, the newest episode of Desperate Housewives and even our secret reality show favourites. The conversation took a turn into Bianca's pregnancy and her hormones "so have you been getting cravings for things that aren't food" I asked "what you mean sex?" she asked, Bella and Ruby laughed "yeah" I replied glad that the face mask could hide my blushing cheeks "yeah oh my god it is in sane, I want it like every second of the day" she groaned "last Sunday we did it so much it hurt to walk afterwards" she said "ew!" Ruby and Bella squealed "was it any good?" I asked feeling more comfortable "OH MY GOD! Mind-blowing! Amazing there just aren't enough words to describe how fringing great it is" she gasped "okay this is just disgusting, that is my brother and I have no interest in finding out how good he is in bed" Bella said as Bianca and I laughed "oh come on honey like you're not getting any" Bianca said tapping Bella's arm "not at the moment I'm not" she said "yeah but what is it like?" Bianca asked, Bella stayed quiet and Bianca and I burst into laughter "THAT GOOD! HE IS THAT GOOD THAT ISABELLA BRAXTON IS SPEECHLESS!" Bianca squealed and we burst into laughter "seriously is it that good?" she asked again and Bella just smiled and the three of us squealed causing Bella to burst into laughter.
BRAX POV
Bella, Charlie, Bianca and Ruby all arrived home later in the afternoon giggling like school girls as they burst through the door. Each girl was carrying a plastic bag off KFC and a few paper shopping bags. I knew they were going to the city for a girls day since Heath had been babysitting Mckenzie while I was at work. Charlie called me to say she was going to bring home dinner and to make sure Heath came too. We had been watching the footy and drinking beers when the girls arrived home, Mckenzie was playing happily on her play mat, she had her little legs in the air kicking at the plastic animals that hung above on the supports. "hey!" the girls all giggled as they dumped their bags on the table and began to pull the buckets and boxes out.
We sat around the table eating KFC, laughing and joking like a happy family. Mckenzie was in her high chair and was gnawing on a piece of chicken. She had just begun to eat solid foods and was loving the chicken she was allowed to eat. "so Belle, how is Cooper?" I asked and Bella gasped her hands flying to her mouth "what?" I asked concerned "I forgot to call him on Skype this afternoon, I promised Natayliah I would. SHIT!" she exclaimed pushing her chair back and running up the stairs.
BELLA POV
I raced up the stairs and into my room, I opened my laptop and logged onto Skype. I saw Cooper was still online and I pressed call, he had put me on automatic answer so it immeadetly picked up and I saw Cooper's hotel room, there was no-one at the desk and just as I was about to call out I saw Ella walk past the monitor in her underwear, my mouth dropped and I instantly felt tears spring to my eyes. I dived forward and tried to push the cursor to the end button but it was frozen. I slumped back staring at the screen not knowing if I wanted to keep watching, I looked up and saw the hotel door open and Cooper walk in, he stopped stunned "Ella what are you doing here?" he asked "well I thought we could have a little fun" she said sudectivly walking up to him placing her hands on his chest and pushing him against the wall "Ella" he said but was stopped when she stood on her tip toes and kissed him, I saw his eyes bulge in shock as he pushed her away "what are you doing!" he cried "we can't fight the sexual tension anymore" she said sliding the strap of her bra up her arm "there is no tension Ella" he said a little calmer "oh baby come on we both know we are meant for each other" she said moving towards him "no Ella we aren't, I am with Bella" he said and I smiled lightly "oh that skank, come on I bet you she is sleeping with half of that stupid little town, but don't worry I got my mum to try and convince your mum to move back to the city so we can be together in no time and you won't to worry about that bitch" she said smiling "you really are insane, I don't want to move to the city and your idiotic mother won't convince my mum she like Bella, way better than she ever liked you and as for that matter I like her way better than I EVER liked you! I don't want to be with you Ella, I don't want anything do with you, you are my EX girlfriend for a reason" he shouted. I saw Ella tilt her head "you just have realised that you still love me yet, but don't worry I will wait. And I will get rid of that slut of a girlfriend of yours so we can finally be together" she said nodding "get out" Cooper said opening the door "my clothes" she said "GET OUT!" he shouted and she scurried out the door.
"wow that was way better than reality TV" I said out loud smiling as I saw Cooper's head flick up as he spun around to face the computer "oh my god how much of that did you see?" he asked walking across the room to the laptop "all of it" I replied smiling "oh" he whispered lowering his head "you really told her off, I must be rubbing off on you" I laughed as he looked back to the monitor "so your not mad?" he asked "no, you pushed her away when she kissed you and tried your best to get rid of her. You can't help it if she has completely lost her mind" I said "and I am so sorry I forgot to call you today, I went on a girls day in the city with Charlie, Ruby and Bianca and totally forgot – you forgive me?" I asked cutely "of course I do" he smiled as he blew me a kiss "tell Tayalaih I am sorry hey" I added "yeah I will, she will still love you. According to Natayaliah you are an angel sent from heaven, and I can't say she is wrong" he added "corny!" I laughed "she's sweet" I put in "yeah, she really loves you ya know" he said "mm, it's a bit scary though having a child who isn't related to you love you so much" I said tucking my leg under the other "yeah well she loves you no matter what" he said "yeah, I better get back to dinner" I said sadly "I will call you tomorrow after lunch I promise" I said crossing my fingers "okay baby" he nodded "talk to you later, sleep well" I said blowing him a kiss "yeah you too baby" he said returning the kiss as I signed off.
