Amanda and Dylan are busy with the arrangements for the wedding.
They wanted to take care of everything on their own.
So I am planning to spend a lot of time with Rafael.
I took and mobile and called him.
"Raf, let's go out."
"Bella, I am in a meeting. I call you later." He replied and disconnected the call when I was about to protest.
I send a message to him which read that I am alone at home and bored as hell.
The battery is about to die.
Shit!
So I connected my mobile to the charger and walked to my garden with twilight by Stephanie Meyers in my hand.
My stomach was in contact with the soft grass while I folded my legs, making them face the sky and the region above my stomach tilted upwards. I balanced my body with my stomach and elbow and I held my book with both the hands.
With so much concentration I was drowning into the book while
"Is that you, Isabella?"
My body shook slightly as I was startled.
I rolled around and balanced my body with my elbow to see Hayden summers.
The QB of the school football team.
"Hello, Hayden." I greeted him.
"Hello, Isabella."
"Wassup, what are you doing here."
His eyes widened.
"I live here." He said in an unbelievable tone.
"What? For how long?" I asked him.
"For the past three years. "
My mouth opened like I wanted to say something and closed again when I had nothing to say.
He chuckled at my reaction and spoke up.
"Bored?"
"Yeah, nobody is at home."
"So, Amanda and Dylan are out to invite people."
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Dylan and I are pretty close. We often exchange our cars. Since your his sister, you must be knowing about his obsession with cars."
"Yeah!" I lied. I never knew that Dylan was obsessed with cars.
He jumped over the wall and came into my garden.
"What are you reading?"
"Twilight," I replied.
"Oh, is twilight published as a book after the movie?" He queried.
"The movie is based on this book," I replied.
"Oh." He replied awkwardly.
"Can we go out?" He asked.
I stared at him as if I understood nothing.
"I mean both of us are bored right?"
"Yeah, sure...I mean why not" I shrugged.
Shit! Am I bluffing?
"I'll go get my car."
******************************
We the enjoying our ice cream in an ice cream parlor which was way too far from our houses.
"Are you single?" He questioned.
"Why do you wanna know?" I asked.
"Because I am not, eating ice cream in this place brings back a lot of memory."
"So...you have a girlfriend?"I questioned.
"Yeah! But nobody knows about it.......except you of course," he replied.
"Who is the girl?" I asked.
"Scarlett."
"Scarlett Johansson? The girl who emptied a glass of tequila on Catherine."
"Yeah" he smiled.
"How did you get along?"
"You're a so-called popular personality while she is a not so popular person...." I trailed off.
"Catherine and Cassandra tried to take revenge on her after that incident. "
I was shocked.
"What did they do?"
"They spread rumors around the school like..." he trailed off.
"Like?" I asked.
"They told everyone that scar and I were sleeping together. And they involved me into this."
"How?"
"One day Cassandra came to me with a couple of girls and spoke to me about Catherine. I spoke shit about her and Cassandra had her minions record that.
The sad part is that I never mentioned Catherine's name while speaking. So Cassandra and her minions made the school believe that scar was characterless. "
"How come I never knew about this."
"Well, you're an exception, Collins. You don't even know your neighbor who lived next door for about four years now."
I was embarrassed. So I quickly diverted the topic.
"So you did nothing about it?" I asked.
"I did, but not in the early stages. "
"That means....that...." I trailed off.
"She tried approaching me. But whenever she came near me, I'd freak out and escaped from that place.
Stress, fear, and panic is the wrong combination.
Days went by. Scar was facing all her problems with courage. At a stage, she started hitting everyone who insulted her." He said with a chuckle.
"Her courage gave me confidence. So approached her.
We sorted out the misunderstandings and faced the problem together.
When people got to know that I was on her side, they started backing off. I mean the people who were humiliating Scar.
Most of them where those bitchy girls who were interested in me and a lot of footballers. When they backed off, automatically the rest of them stopped this and started minding their own businesses. "
I smiled at him.
He chuckled.
"What?" I questioned.
"I can still remember Scarlett beating the crap outta me when I tried to apologize to her in this ice cream parlor
She dumped her ice cream on my head. "
We both burst to laugh at his statement.
People where throwing weird glances in our direction.
But we didn't bother.
The door opened to reveal a lady who was a little older than me.
Maybe she was the same as Rafael's age.
Rafael.
Yeah, Rafael walked in along with the lady. He didn't notice me yet.
"You okay?" Hayden asked me.
"Yeah I am completely fine
And..... why do you trust me? I mean, we are not that close..." I trailed off.
"I don't actually know....but it's better to trust a person who lives under a rock instead of a gossip machine. "
I laughed at his statement.
I had a feeling that someone was staring at me.
It must be Rafael.
I looked around to find him glaring at me.
I imitated his action.
That damn lady who came along with him took a scoop of ice cream from her cup and pointed the spoon towards him.
He was busy glaring at me but still, he accepted the ice cream.
How dare he.
I turned around and spoke to Hayden.
"Let's go."
"Sure, lemme go pay for the ice cream. "
"Nah, that's really fine. I'll pay."
He pulled his wallet out and started walking towards the cash counter.
I got up and started running to reach the counter before him.
I managed to push him aside and rushed towards the counter while my leg hit the table in which was occupied by Rafael and his harlot.
I started falling down when Hayden held me by my shoulder and waist and steadied me.
"Who, you okay?" He asked placing his palm on my cheek.
"Yeah," I replied and freed myself from his grip and walked carefully towards the counter and gave my card to the girl who was about my age, who stood on the counter.
She was about to accept it when Hayden pushed my hands away and gave his card.
"Accept my card." He said.
"No, I came first. " I replied.
"I am being a gentleman. "
"Well, I am being a gentlewoman. "
Both of us pointed out the card towards the girl and waited for her to accept one.
The girl was about to accept Hayden's card when I tried something different.
"Well, I've noticed that you were staring at this one guy for a long time. If you don't accept my card then I won't hesitate to approach the guy and speak to him about this." I said with an evil smirk.
The girl's eyes widened as she accepted my card.
Hayden sighed and told
"I'll be waiting for you in the car."
"I lied." I told the girl and left the place.
I didn't even notice her in the first place. She was so dumb to fall for my trick.

I finally reached home.
I took my mobile and got to know that I had 1 unread message from Rafael.
I opened it to read
' Bella I am busy..... Stay safe, don't go anywhere. I guess I won't be able to move out of my office until late at night.
Did he lie to me?
Is he cheating on me?
What the hell.
