Married At 19

Chapter 10

《Isabella Dawson》

My heart almost burst out as soon as I noticed that I was actually in Nathan’s hug when I woke up.

What happened last night?

He is still sleeping with his hand still on my waist. His face just inches away from me which makes my heart fluttering more than usual.

No matter how much I face him, I am never getting bored by his handsomeness, his perfect jawline, his sexy-cherry lips, and also with his pointed nose.

I gently touch his left with full of cautions. Luckily he didn't wake up when my cold finger touched his skin.

I love you, Nathan.

I really want to confess my feeling to you..... But I think it's just a wish that will never come true. I'm happy that you're now my husband, but your heart belongs to another woman.

His face crinkles a bit when the sun shines straight on his face from my bedroom window.

Awwww.....he is so cute.

I moved a bit, so I could block the sun from shining straight to his face. I really hope the time could stop, so I could stay with you like this forever.

《Nathan Harrison》

Why is she staring at me?

Is there anything on my face?

Or....she just can't resist my handsomeness?

Ahah......just kidding.

But I'm still glad that she is well now.

By the way......she is nice enough for blocking my face from the sun. Well.....I admit that she is kind of sweet too.

But the weirdest thing is....I didn't mad her at all for staring and lying so close to me.

The truth is.....I think I like this moment right now.

I can watch her beauty from the close range.... oh god.... seriously, she is so beautiful.

Why didn't I notice it before?

My hand still on her waist; I kind of pretending to sleep so she won't surprise when find out that I was already wide awake.

Her staring makes my heart beating faster than ever, but I'm trying my best to control my nervousness.

This is the third time now for me, nervous like that. That is really weird though.

I wait for her to get up first, maybe about half an hour, but I really don't care about it. I don't know why, but I really love being with her like this.

She went to the bathroom to take shower, leaving me who still pretending to sleep on her bed.

Argh.....she always makes me fluttered when I was around her? This is so confusing....I really have no idea about this kind of feeling that I feel for her these days.

                                                                                    *

Both of us went to our university by walking since it wasn’t too far from our apartment. Besides, Bella said she wanted to get fresh air by walking for today. And of course I won’t let her to walk alone so I just join her then.

Anyway my friends still didn't know anything about our marriage. I really hope they will not, because I really don't want to answer their stupid questions about it. Besides, everyone knows that I love Sasha.... and it'll be totally weird when knowing that me marrying Bella.

What am I supposed to say to them?

Moreover, I don't want to hurt Bella's feeling if I did tell them, what if I choose the wrong words, what if I slip my tongue by saying that we have an agreement about to stay as married couple for a year. That will be a total disaster...and she might be really upset with me and also my friends might kill me too.

"Hey dope!!!" Seth put his hand around my shoulder. "When did you come here? I don't see any of your stuff in our dorm."

Oh, that is right.

I need to create a perfect lie....so he could believe everything I would say to him.

"Well....um....my parents left me an apartment two blocks from here. I'm now living there, alone. It's just a small apartment for a person. Nothing big deal, hedgehog." Hope he will buy that!!

"Oh....that's good." He replied. "When will you throw the housewarming party? Everyone does that when they moving to a new house, you know."

Oh god.....what am I supposed to say now?

"Um....no...no....I think I'm not throwing any party at my new house. Well, you know, all the things inside the house are my parents belonging, besides, you know these guys love to touch my things..... and I really don't want them ruining it.... since.... my parents left them for me."

"Whatever dude!!!" He puts me in a headlock. "Let's get to our class now."

"Oww.....oh come on, hedgehog!!!" I cried in pain. "It's hurt you know!"

                                                                                    *

We returned back to our apartment after our class ended, well technically I don’t have evening class, so I just waited for Bella until her boring lecture class ended to walk together again with her to our apartment and she didn’t know about it all.

"Do you want me to help you?" I approached her who was cooking in the kitchen.

"No...I can do it myself." She turns to face me with a smile curving her lips. "Um....by the way, I'm so sorry for making you wait for the meal... it's just I have replacement class and it ended so late today. "

"No.....no.....it's okay, you don't need to apologize to me. I can wait....seriously." I lean closer to the pot to smell the delicious scent coming from it. "By the way, the food smell so delicious."

"Oh....thanks, Nathan." She smiled. "I'm almost done now."

“Nice….." I grinned. "Let me help you set the table, then."

"No...." she stopped me. "I can do that too.... please wait in the living room, Nathan. Seriously, I really don't want to trouble you."

I touch the tip of her pointed nose. "Just let me help you, for this once. You have already helped me, by a lot, Bella."

Both of her cheeks start to blush now, maybe she feels a bit shy because I touched her nose.

I should not have done that.

Argghhh,I really hate when my hand did that....it just like it moved by its own.

"S-sorry about that...." I apologized to her.

Oh god.....the red tints that appear on her cheeks are so cute and my heart......it’s beating so fast now!

She then covers her cheeks with her palms. "It's okay....N-Nathan."

I quickly moved my gaze to the cabinet behind her where we stored our plates and the kitchenware in there.

"I will set up the table." I suggest, breaking the awkward moment between us.

She must be really shy right now, doesn't she?

Or worse, maybe she feels a bit upset with me, because I touched her without her permission.

She's obviously seems like that..... maybe the red tints on her cheeks were the cause by holding her angry feeling so much, like in the Tinker Bell movie.... where Tink went mad with her friend, Vidia so much.

I secretly took a glance at her who was continuing cooking the meal.

Yeahh.....she's mad!

She must be didn't like me at all. Or she maybe has someone else that she likes, but now she can't be together with him since she was forced to marry me.

Oh great....now I feel so terrible for her.

                                                                                    *

Mr Marion called me to his room after the class and he looked so scary though. He kept pushed me to tell the truth about my assignment since he noticed that I was not the one who made it.

"Mr Harrison, I will ask you again." My lecturer said to me with a scary look. "Are you the one who did these two assignments?"

I gulped once. "Y-yeah.."

"Please speak the truth, Mr Harrison!" He said with his voice raised a bit.

"I-I.....I'm sorry sir. My friend actually did that for me." I'm not brave enough to look into his eyes. "But....please give me another chance sir. I promise I will not do it again."

He puts his glasses down on the table in front of him.

He sighed. "Fine....I will give you another chance. But you must submit it by the end of this week....or you will fail in this subject."

I gulped once more. "Y-yes...sir. Thank you so much sir."

"Now go....start working on it. But make sure to do it by yourself this time! " He gave me a glare.

I nodded. "I will, sir, I promise!"

I was about to turn the door knob when he stopped me. "Wait.....I need to know which friend of yours actually did this assignments."

"O-oh.....she is Bella Dawson, sir. She is really a great friend of mine."

And a very good wife too.

"Well....I really impressed with her works. The ways she described the answers, the phrases and words that she used and also the examples that she included in it were all perfect. I think you are so lucky to have a friend like her, because she is really one of million....even I never have a friend like her. So trust me, Mr Harrison, I think you should feel so grateful to have a chance to know her. “The way he said the words really touched me deep inside.

Bella's face suddenly flashes in my mind.

I agreed, Bella, my childhood friend, who is now my wife now, is really a great person

I'm so lucky that I met her.

                                                                                    *

I went to the cafeteria, where my friend are all waiting for me. I think Seth already told them that I have been called by our lecturer.

They may be dying to know about my problem right now.

"Bella!!!" I heard a male voice calling for Bella from my back. "Hey Bella....."

I turned to the direction and saw a guy with blonde hair who was waving his hand at her. His eyes are blue just like me, but mine bluer. I have never seen him before, but the way he called her, they must be really close.

But.... why did I feel a bit irritated by him.

I looked at my other friends, and they gave me the look that they didn't know about him either.

"I missed you so much!!" He swiftly approached her at our table and gave her a hug. "We haven't seen for 6 years now. Seriously, wow...you look more beautiful, Bella"

Woah..... he even hugged her and told her beautiful too?

That's really crossed the line.

Don't you know, my Bella doesn't like to be touched!!!

Eh....wait a minute....did I just said my Bella??

Shoot!

Why I feel so angry about him all of sudden?

He did nothing to me.....and I don't even meet him before.

Besides, what kind of that I feel right now, exactly? I never feel like this before.

Arghhh.....this is so frustrating!!!

I look away from them, who looks so much friendly with each other.

I just can't take it anymore!

I took my backpack that I left on my seat and then walked away from the cafe, leaving them all before I lose control of myself.

That's must be her boyfriend, the one that she really likes.....the guy that she supposed to marry and obviously not me.

I'm sorry Bella, for stealing you from him. I really didn't mean to.

For the first time, my tears fall down on my cheeks because of one girl who I already ruined her bright future....besides my mom.

I'm truly sorry.....Isabella Dawson.
