Watching her walk outside of the café, I could already tell her shift went well. Her enormous smile instantly gave her away and a feeling of divine happiness washed over me as she pulled the door of my car open. "Hi!" She said, not wasting a second as she fell into the passenger seat and leaned in to grab the collar of my sweater, bringing my lips to hers. Mmmh Okay. My eyes were wide with surprise before relaxing and enjoying her tongue move over my bottom lip. I kissed her back deepening this sudden attack with aim.

I pulled back just enough to see the look on her face, her eyes begging me to continue kissing her. "What was that for?" I smirked, my eyes enjoying the happiness that radiated from hers.

"Just a little thank you." She chuckled, her forehead resting against mine before briefly brushing her nose over my cheek.

"I know other ways to thank me." I wiggled my eyebrows at her, before leaning in and kissing her lips once more, my teeth seeking comfort in her bottom lip to let her know exactly what I was talking about, not that she needed the hint.

"How about dinner?" She whispered against my lips. Of course, she's hungry.

"That's wasn't exactly the meal I had in mind but that's fine for now. Tell me where you want to go and I'll drive us there right now." I said, glancing over her messy ponytail. It's so cute. As soon as she found me staring at her hair, she grabbed the hair tie and pulled her hair out of the ponytail, her loose strands falling down the sides of her face. "Why did you do that?" I frowned my brows at her.

"Because I look like a mess." She chuckled furrowing her brows. You could never look like a mess. "Actually, do you mind if I drive?" She grinned and I wasn't sure where this was coming from but I wasn't complaining, I wanted to see her behind this wheel more than anything. She had driven it before, and I didn't forget how sexy she looked doing so.

"Not at all, it's all yours Snowflake." I said before kissing her, both of my hands pushing her hair away from her beautiful face. "Switch seats." I urged her to do while I got out of the car. I expected her to get out too but instead she climbed over the gearbox. I shook my head while flopping down in the passenger seat, my eyes catching hers. "Is your ass really too lazy to just walk around the car like a normal person?" I shook my head with a grin on my face. She does everything differently.

"By know you should know I'm not a normal person." She intentionally and playfully rolled her eyes before making the engine roar.

I watched her concentrate on the road, no idea where she was taking me, but I didn't mind, she could surprise me any time of the day. "So, your first shift went well?" I said curiously while turning the volume of the music a little bit lower.

She turned to me, happiness written all over her face. "I'm so sorry for this morning, acting like a bitch for asking Zach about the job. I should have been kissing your feet instead."

"I'm not really into that Baby. I'm not a foot fetish kind of guy." I pulled a disgusting face and scrunched my nose at her, her laugh instantly filling the car.

"Are you sure, because you seem to like everything I do to you." She smirked, containing her laugh to pull a sexy face. She's not wrong and damn that face.

"That's true." I smirked, turning to her in my seat so I could admire the view so more. The view right here inside the car, that was so much better than the streets on the outside.

"But I'm serious. I had so much fun and it's all because if you!" She said taking my hand to intertwine our fingers. I bet Zach had something to do with that.

I sighed, looking out of the window. "I bet Zach had something to do with that." I muttered to myself and it slipped as soon as I thought it. Fuck, I didn't mean to say that out loud. I balled my fist and put my lips in a straight line, hoping I didn't reignite this morning's discussion. I didn't mean to, it was just a stupid thought that made it past my lips for some reason.

"Do I need to pretend I didn't just hear that?" She sighed into the cold air in front of her. She side-eyed me while abruptly letting go of my hand and I immediately felt guilty for spilling my guts.

"That's a good idea. I didn't even know why I said that, I'm sorry." I muttered, trying not to get mad at myself for being overly protective of our relationship, my eyes still diverted out of the window. "Do you like him?" Shut the fuck up if you're going to say something stupid. "Sorry!" I threw my hands up in defense when she just looked at me with a parted mouth, clearly offended. Fuck!

She shook her head while wetting her lips, her words desperately wanting to come out of her mouth. "Actually yes! I do like him!" She raised her voice while looking at me, her eyes piercing through me hurt, but not as much as the panic raising in my stomach.

"What the fuck?" I shook my head, scoffing slightly, nervously pushing a hand through my hair. What? I knew it!

"As A FRIEND!" She said dramatically and loud. What the fuck, that was a freaking trap there. The overly dramatic way she spoke made me chuckle with relief. You're worrying for nothing.

"Are you sure?" I said nervously looking through my eyelashes at her expression. To my surprise she was smiling when I expected her to be mad. I still can't figure her out sometimes. Women.

"Lukas, how many times do I have to tell you I'm not looking for another annoying boyfriend, I already got you and you're not getting rid of me that easily. Unless you want to..." She looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"What? No! Not at all." I smiled at her, taking her hand and pulling it into my lap. "I'm sorry I just don't get why he's so protective of you. That's my job."

"I don't remember hiring you for that?" She intentionally frowned her brows at me.

"Uuhm yes you did. The moment I became your boyfriend..." I said, raising my brows and I meant every word of it.

She chuckled at my words looking at me with a smirk on her face. "Nha, you must have read the job description wrong. Are you sure you can read?" She laughed at her own words while she kept her eyes on the road.

"Don't be a smartass Snowflake. I'm sure I can read. You know I will protect you even if you think you don't need it." I said, watching her every move as she took a left, still clueless where we were heading.

"Awww who would have thought you'd be such a good and caring boyfriend, that from a guy who persistently told me I wasn't his type or didn't date." She burst out in laughter, finding her own words amusing. Yeah, I shouldn't have said those things.

"Lies, lies, they were all lies, you know that." I shrugged my shoulder, my hand tingling to let her know. I reached out, playfully pushing her hair behind her shoulder before nestling my hand into her hair at the back of her head. "I knew catching feelings for you and wanting more was just a matter of time once I got to know you." I smiled at her; her eyes lingering on mine for a second.

"Really?" Bells whispered as if she couldn't believe me while leaning into my touch, my fingertips caressing her scalp.

I cocked my head to the side while I watched her with loving eyes. "Yes and look at me now. I'm all the way in." I grinned, meaning every word, my jealous feelings long forgotten.

"Me too." She smiled as she looked at me, her face utterly relaxed and her eyes clearly filled with love. "That's why I don't want you to worry about Zach. He's going to become a really good friend, but nothing more. I could never feel the same for some else as I feel for you. I like the job at the café, and I like working with him, but I love you and I'll only love you." She said, her words hitting my soft spot, the spot in my chest that was beating like crazy.

I was unable to speak for a moment, trying to take in the words and she was right. Being jealous is only going to push her away and I need to just trust her. I need to let Bella do Bella and let her make her own decisions and if she thinks Zach could be a good friend to her than I just have to suck it up even though I don't like it. He still feels like a threat but if I can't trust her, then what are we? "I'm sorry, I don't want to be the jealous boyfriend to you, but I'm just scared I'll lose you." I said, my head low, my hand pinching the bridge of my nose. I never cared for someone, not like I care for her, for us.

I felt her eyes burn at me as she thought of her words. "You won't lose me." She whispered softly, her kind voice drawing me in and making me look up. "Where here!" She said while her entire face lit up. Her joyous and sudden mood was highly contagious and instantly made me let out a laugh.

I looked around to see she had pulled up into the parking lot of Joe's pizzeria, the best takeout pizza just outside campus. "Pizza? Do you eat anything else?" I chuckled while shaking my head. This girl...

"Shut up, we got something to celebrate! And you know pizza is perfect for it." She smiled leaning in to quickly peck my lips. "What do you want?" She smiled wide only inches from my face.

"You." I smirked, making her shake her head. "Four seasons is fine." She looked at me in the most adorable way.

"Alright I'll be right back." She said her hand reaching for the door handle.

I reached out too, grabbing her arm to stop her in her tracks. "Wait, here take my wallet." I said shifting in my seat to grab it from the back pocket of my jeans.

"No, no, no Lukas, I'm paying." She said deliberately pouting to have me give in and withdraw my proposal. No way I'm letting her pay when she can barely make ends meet right now.

I shook my head, while still taking my wallet from my pocket. "No Bells, you're not." I said, trying to be soft.

She pouted even more while now also frowning her brows. "But I want to take care of you for once." She's being stubborn and cute.

Her words made me laugh. "Trust me you are taking care of me by letting me feed you. You're unmanageable when you're hungry." I said flicking the tip of her nose with my index finger.

"That not true!" She whined, giving me her ultimate droopy face.

"It's a little bit true admit it!" I smirked while watching her droop turn into a smile.

She squeezed her eyes at me, a smile still covering her lips. "Alright, alright... Give me the wallet!" She said and I didn't waste a second to shove in her hands. "But! As soon as I get paid, pizza is on me. That's my one condition!" She said before taking the wallet.

"Fine!" I playfully rolled my eyes. We'll see about that. After giving me a cute smile, she opened the door and left me in the car to get some food. I should ask her again how her shift went, and fucking listen this time. I told myself, regretting I immediately cut her off by acting like a jealous prick.

She came back out before I knew it, two pizza boxes in her hands, which made her struggle with getting back in the car. "Here eat!" She said putting my box on my lap in a way only she could, always enthusiastic when it came to breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or snacks, or anything food related.

"Alright, don't hurry me... It's probably still hot as fuck."

"Then let me blow it." She side-eyed me with an evident smirk on her lips, wiggling her eyebrows before giving me a once over. Isabella. I dramatically widened my eyes at her sudden feeling for dirty words. What the fuck have I done to her. "Just kidding, that's better for dessert." Another comment flew my way and I liked the way she felt confident enough to do so.

"Alrighhtttt, I don't know what happened to you today but I'm not complaining." I cleared my throat, my eyes still wide with surprise. I even needed to shift myself in my seat and reposition the pizza box on my lap as images that accompanied such words flew through my mind. "How was your shift really?" I changed the subject quickly to not let these pizza's get clod as that was inevitable if she kept talking to me like that. "Was Zach kind to you?" I said, her eyes immediately seeking for mine. "I'm not being jealous... I'm just interested to know how it went." I said holding my hands up in defense.

"First, I'm going to drive us somewhere nicer." She smirked, handing me her pizza box before turning the key in the ignition, while I watched fingers fidget with the key.

"The pizzas are getting cold Bells!" I said when five minutes later we were still driving. I was just teasing her because the pizza box on my lap was burning holes through my legs and far from getting cold.

"Yeah yeah, we're here!" She said while taking a left and as soon as she took the turn, I knew exactly why she wanted to drive up here.

My jaw nearly dropped at the sight in front of me. How do I not know about this place? "The view is amazing up here..." I whispered, almost speechless, as I could see the shimmering lights of the side from upon a hill. It was already dark, and the lights of the many buildings brightened up the skyline.

"I looked it up on Google." She smirked like she was proud of it. That alone made me chuckle... She's always the happiest with the smallest things in life. "Now we can eat!" She grinned holding out her hand for me to put the pizza box in it.

"Thank you for bringing me up here." I looked at her through my eyelashes, amazed by the view in front of me but more so by the girl sitting behind the wheel.

"I need to thank you... For asking Zach about a job at the coffee house." She smiled, taking a slice of her Hawaii pizza out of the box. Interesting choice.

"You don't have to, I was only trying to help..." I said, taking a bite from mine while looking at the skyline in front of me. I can see myself living in the city with her, an apartment of our own with an amazing view over a park or something, a dog or a cat, living our life, loving each other.

"Yes I do Luke. I owe you because I think the job is perfect for me. I love coffee, working with Zach is fun and you get to swing by if I have to work. So, thank you." She smiled, tilting her head to the side as she let it rest against the seat, her eyes admiring me.

I mirrored her posture, giving her the same smoldering look. "So, it was fun?"

She chuckled, obviously at something that jumped into her mind. "You know Jess swung by?" Why is she smiling about it? "She was acting like a bitch again." She shook her head before taking another bite.

"I swear she doesn't know when to stop! I told her to leave you alone. Fuck she's really getting on my nerves!" I gritted trough my teeth, trying to take out my anger on my slice of pizza as I took a large frustrated bite. Fuck, when is this going to stop!

"She basically called me trash, but Zach took care of it." She let out a laugh, loud enough to echo through the car.

"Did he?" I huffed, annoyed at the fact he had to deal with that while I'm supposed to.

"He put vinegar in her coffee!" She burst out in laughter and I had to blink twice to see if what she said was real. Alright I might like him for that!

"No way?" I put my fist in front of my mouth to laugh and hold my pizza inside at the same time.

"Yess! Lukas, you should have seen her face when she drank from it. It was EPIC!" She continued to laugh; her happiness so contagious she had me wishing I was there to witness it all.

"I feel a lot better about you working with him now." I couldn't contain it any longer and joined her hysterical laughter. "Oh damn, vinegar huh?" Honestly, it's a brilliant idea, I have to give him credit for this.

She giggled, calming down her laughter to take another bite. "Really, you don't have to worry about Olivia or Jess bothering me when he's on the same shift as me, I'm sure he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve." She said closing her eyes and I should say I didn't have mixed feelings over this, but I did. I felt happy that he looked out for her but the concern of him being too nice still bothered me in the back of my head, but as for now I didn't have to worry because the girl I love was sitting in my car, enjoying her pizza and she was coming home with me.

After our pizzas were finished, we admired the view for some time and talked about everything we could think of. It was almost midnight when Bells drove us to her apartment where she followed up on the type of dessert she was talking about earlier, leaving us both exhausted and panting.

Much to my regret we couldn't sleep in as we both had early classes and had to hurry. If not, I would have cuddled her a little longer, admired her sleepy face and morning mood until noon and would have taken her some place fun later that day. The only fun place I was going to be hanging out was the library working on a paper that I had been postponing for way too long.

I couldn't concentrate, my mind torn between finishing this paper or leaving the library to wait outside Bella's classroom until she finished so I could sneak her away somewhere. The sound of my phone suddenly shimming pulled me out of my thoughts and earned me a few angry stares from my fellow students either studying or having a mental breakdown over papers. Fuck! Why do I always forget to put it on silent? The screen said Mia, but it couldn't be too important to be kicked out of the library for making noise, so I declined the call. She'll call me back if she needs me.

Not even a second later my phone went off again, this time on silent, but still Mia trying to reach me. Fuck this. I muttered and cursed to myself while getting up to seek a less populated spot in the library. "What?" I whispered; a bit annoyed as I picked up the phone.

"Lukas, I don't know what to do!" She rushed loudly trough the phone, her voice completely panicked, which made it hard for me to make sense of her words.

I frowned my brows at her words. "Mia, what's wrong! Try to calm down I can barely understand you when you're screaming into your phone!" I shook my head, trying to keep my voice low.

"Luke! It's Isabella! You have to come!" She rushed again but this time I heard her loud and clear. What! No! I already felt the heat rising to my chest and up my face, my fingertips tingling with worry and my stomach collapsing with panic. "Luke!" She yelled when I didn't respond.

"What? Where? What the fuck is going on?" I raised my voice into the phone.

Fuck this isn't happening! Fuck, Fuck, Fuck! "I don't know, something happened... I think she's having a panic attack or something! I don't know! Lukas, I don't know what t-"

"Where are you?" I cut her off, trying to catch a breath myself.

"Uhhm... Uuhm..." She panicked. "Girls bathroom between the administration office and auditorium 12B." She rushed out breathing into the phone.

"Keep talking to her! I'm on my way!" I said hanging up the phone and I was lucky to know where that was as I had class in 12B all the time. Fucking hell! I didn't even bother to grab my things form the desk as I rushed straight out of the library. They can steal everything off my desk right now I don't care I need to get out of here now.
