BAD BOY'S CRUSH - Episode 49
(You’re warm???)
Chloe’s POV
A tall guy stood infront of us, he’s handsome I must say but then he was clapping and laughing at us
She disengaged from me almost pushing me away which made me to ask questions on whom that guy was that will make her push me away
“Uhmm… “She distanced herself from me going over to the guy’s side which began to irritate me, who’s that guy? Why is she stuttering cuz of him?
“Hey you’re Chloe? “His husky voice asked grabbing Bella’s arm which got me gulping and boiling in jealousy
“Yes I am Chloe, who are you? “I asked rather rudely
He’s getting on my nerves by the way he held Bella as if they’re so close
He smirked waving a good bye to me
“Bye, go home safely cuz now she belongs to me”
What! Belongs to him? Is she double dating? I can’t or don’t want to even think of that
Really? I gave her a glare so she would explain who this guy is but she won’t look at me which got me more curious
As they made to go in, I followed them behind
“I want to sleep over Bella”I said and she stared at me with awe before shaking her head in the negative
“No you can’t sleep over ”
I felt hurt cuz she’s pushing me away cuz of these strange guy from nowhere
Who’s is he?
“Why? I really want to”I replied glaring at the guy as he held Bella by her waist and I almost choked
“Some other time, I will chat you later, Mark let’s go in”she tugged at the so-called Mark leaving me all alone to myself…
We just made up! Why is.. who’s that guy to start with? Why is he in Bella’s house? Why did he hold her waist? Why is she shy and embarrassed on seeing him? I tried to calm my nerves, maybe I’m being over sensitive when I know I shouldn’t be at all…

I went into my room and slumped down into my bed, Nicc was already sleeping
I scoffed knocking his forehead slightly
“Gross”I mouthed getting up again and walking into my bathroom to take a shower and then sleep afterwards
Few minutes later, I was done, I came into my room with my white large towel wrapping loosely around my tiny waist
I went to my wardrobe to go select some casual wear and that’s when I noticed something strange, all his belongings were packed up already!
Is he leaving for that goddamned Chicago? I can’t wait for him to leave this house for me alone
I hissed putting on my pyjamas
I took a glance at him and for the first time I felt a kind of pity for him, I went closer to his side and then sat down peering into his ruined face
It was all treated with medication
I made to touch his face but he opened his eyes jerking up from the bed
“What? What are you trying to do? “He asked rudely and I scoffed getting away from him
“You saw me do anything? ”
He hissed sitting up on the bed
“I’m leaving tomorrow ”
“I never said I care”I snapped and he hissed
“Didn’t you notice that no one is in the house? ”
I scoffed staring at him briefly
“Like I care if anyone is here or not”
“Your dad and my mom left this evening and they won’t be back for several months “he reported
“That’s a relief then”
“Aren’t you concerned? ”
“Concerned? Why should I be concerned? ”
“That everyone is leaving you? ”
“I don’t care, I used to stay in this whole house alone when my dad is away on his trips, it isn’t new”
He regarded me with his eyes
“I posted that on the news board ”
“I know you did and that’s I fought you”I snapped rudely
“But… That’s the only way to get you to fight me”
“Why? Cuz of Bella? ”
He smirked
“No, I wanted to take out all my frustration on you”
“So?? ”
“When I leave tomorrow, I want you to tell Bella that am sorry for not being the good guy to the end
Its all my fault… “He stared into an unimaginary figure so far away from me
“She’s so good and kind yet, I threw her away like a piece of garbage “he smirked but I knew there was pain in that voice of his
“She’s a moon and you threw the moon away not a garbage “I snapped still
He let his legs rest on the floor
“Chloe… I… I don’t want to give her up so watch your back, I might come for her someday in the future”
I hissed
“I’m not letting her go either, calls for another fight and am ready to fight with you”
He stood up from the bed advancing towards me, I clenched my fist ready for a fight if he really wanted one… He stepped closer and closer until he hugged me
“I don’t have anyone on my side anymore, so… ”
I was shocked and at the same time I realized how much I needed a brother
I bit my lower lips not wanting to push him away from my skin
Seems like so many things happened today
A weird quarrel with Bella in the morning and then a heartbreaking news followed by a fight and then Bella admitting that she loved me followed by… Don’t wanna remember that guy who’s in Bella’s house… Lastly, Nicc trying to make up with me
“You’re warm”he said and I smirked
“You’re warm too”
He disengaged from me half smiling
“Brother right? “He asked and I hesitated before nodding
“Yes brother ”
Maybe he wasn’t bad afterall, he just needed someone to be with him and never go away
What about me? I think I have Bella no matter who that Mark of a guy is, he won’t win her over me
But Nicc has nothing just me!
“I’m sorry “he said
“I’m sorry”I repeated after him
“But… It doesn’t mean I don’t love Bella ”
“And it doesn’t mean I will let her go to you”
We smirked together, he threw a pillow at me and I threw back, it was fun! Really fun!
I have had many friends, I have never been so warm with some guy like Nicc tonight
I laughed, giggled and smiled all night till we got tired falling into the bed and sleeping off
Maybe this is how having a sibling is like no matter how far its gonna be like
It was a misunderstanding from the first time and I really h@??d him cuz my crush liked him and was his childhood friend
Maybe I shouldn’t have h@??d him from the very first day he set his foot into our house
Not too long, sleep over came me….
“Hey!”he shoved me real hard to the extent that I fell off the bed and landed on the floor
“Ouch! That hurts!! “I grumbled holding my hurting butts which hit the tiles so hard
He smiled hissing
“I’m already set to go “he announced and I frowned
For the first time again, I’m missing someone whom I never liked before
“Uhm… You think you want to go? ”
He nodded
“Yes, I don’t have anything left with me here, not a dad, not a mom… ”
“But you have me”I unintentionally said
“Thanks but… ”
“Its okay, I will escort you to the airport”
Few hours later,
We were at the airport, I drove him here on my dad’s car
We came out of the car and he went to the booth to get his belongings out of there
He turned to me
“It was nice with you even though we’re still not too good to each other ”
I scoffed
“That’s fine, save journey “I waved at him when someone suddenly called his name from afar
We both turned our head to the direction of the voice to see Bella, Billy and that so-called Mark rushing towards us
“Nicc “she yelled out going into his arms
He held her eyeing me to know my expression but I didn’t let that bother me
My only bother is this Mark of a person who’s clinging around her
He went to Nicc after Bella disengaged from him
“Hey, I didn’t get to see you until now that you’re leaving “they hugged each other and I was the only person left out in all of them
My eyes went to Bella and she was staring at me too
“You’re so big now Mark”he remarked and I smirked really surprised that they knew each other
“You guys know each other? ”
He nodded
“He’s Bella’s cousin”
What! With wide eyes I took my gaze to him
Huh! Her cousin??
“Nicc I will miss you”the one called Billy said hugging him but I wasn’t concentrating anymore
I almost had a heart attack yesterday thinking Bella was double dating
He’s clearly her cousin! And that’s why they live in same house but why haven’t I seen him before?
Psst! I took my gaze to Bella and she was smiling at me and then at Nicc
She texted me afterwards
?I love you more Chloe for making up with Nicc
?We didn’t make up, he’s just leaving
I texted back
She looked up at me and smiled turning to her cousin…
