DAY 18

COLLIN

I FELT FUCKING sick.

I was disgusted with myself.

I had no idea how I could even bet against Rose in the first place. At the time, I had cared less about feelings, but now, it wasn’t just a bet anymore. There were feelings involved. Both mine and Bella’s.

I was going to end the bet. I had been thinking about doing that for almost a week now, but last night had been the final straw. This shit couldn’t go on any longer.

Looking down at the sleeping beauty in my arms, I pulled out my phone from my pocket and texted Rose.

The bet is over. You win.

I hugged Bella’s body tighter to mine and nuzzled my face in her hair. She was amazing. After what she had told me last night, I understood her better. And I also wanted to fuck up James for what he did, and after that, I wanted to hire someone to fuck me up as well.

Although, without my fucking bet with Rose, I would never have gone over to Bella and I wouldn’t have fallen for her.

“You’re awake?” Bella asked groggily, turning her head to look at me, effectively pulling me out of my thoughts.

Fuck, she’s adorable in the morning.

“Yeah, I just woke up,” I answered just as groggily.

“Mm, okay.” She sighed and hugged my arm closer to her and snuggled back into her pillow. Then she went back to sleep. I could feel her soft breath on my forearm and I laughed at her before I got comfortable again, just holding her as she slept.

I guess Belly isn’t a morning person.

“You should wake up, Belly,” I mumbled after a little while, kissing her neck.

“I don’t want to,” she whispered

“It’s already eleven in the morning.”

“What?” she asked loudly as she sat up, suddenly wide awake.

I laughed. “I’m kidding. It’s only ten-thirty.”

“I can’t believe I slept that long,” she groaned and lay back down, facing me.

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have…” I started, but she cut me off by putting her palm against my mouth.

“It’s okay. Don’t apologize for that,” she protested, still sleepy. I nodded my head and she moved her hand away. “Are you going to talk to your dad?”

She didn’t sound accusing or judging as she asked. That had been one of the reasons to why I had gone to her last night.

“Not today,” I mumbled, laying my face in the crook of her neck. Last night, I had named it as my favorite place on earth. Next to being inside of her. Nothing could beat that. “Maybe after the weekend.”

“What does your mom say? And Duncan?”

“Duncan and Rose are in Seattle for the weekend. Mom just sat quiet in a corner.”

She had been the one to always support me with my music, but last night, she had been blank. She hadn’t uttered a word and that was probably the worst thing. Not my dad kicking me out, or being disappointed with me. No, it was my mom’s actions, or lack thereof.

“Okay,” Bella whispered, caressing my hair, not pressing me for more information.
