bella moans quietly beside me, hoping no one noticed, but i did.
"bella, are you okay?"
she looks up from being bent over and she's holding her side, as she lets her blue eyes meet mine.
"charles." she whimpers, and i feel awful for her in an instant.
"mhm."
"do you have any ibuprofen?" she polietly asks, and the car turns silent, realizing why she's been so upset.
"yeah, in the glove department." he nods, scanning the rows of cars.
"i got it." sophia tells her and hands it to her.
"thanks bud." she smiles weakly at him and he playfully winks.
"no problem bella boo."
we remain silent as charles parks he car
"have a fun day at school kids!!" charles screams to them, as they all double over in laughter, bells managing a smile.
"I LOVE YOU MOM." bella screams, her arms flung out beside her, a wide grin on her lips.
as she starts shutting the door, i stop her.
"have a good day." i smile, and she smiles back.
"love ya." i wink at her, and she laughs and rolls her eyes.
"love you too." she says, winking back playfully, and i try to contain my smile.
she shut the door and walked off, as i cover my hot cheeks.
"what was that all about?" charles asks looking at me in the rear view mirror.
"what was what all about?" i ask, and he rolls his eyes.
"don't play dumb with me, you're BLUSHING right now." he states.
"am NOT." i whine, and i look in the mirror.
my cheeks definitely are redder than usual.
"it's cold outside." i mumble, and charles laughs.
"okay whatever you say."
i roll my eyes.
"so i was thinking," charles states after a brief moment of silence, "when bell gets home, we should have all of this stuff since... um.... you know... to make her feel better."
i nod my head.
"what are her favorite things?" charles questions and i immediately know.
"she loves ONLY dark chocolate, popcorn - movie theater butter - skittles, sour patch kids, pretzels, nutella, her favorite movie is mean girls, and she LOVES anything fuzzy." i state, and charles raises his eyebrows.
"and you say you weren't flirting earlier." he says softly.
i chuckle. "charles shut up you know i was." i say, my cheeks in flames.
i've liked bella for years now, charles has known since the day i realized it.
"we should probably get her, uh.. pads too." i whisper, and charles nods.
"do you kn-" he starts.
"i know exactly which ones." i mumble embarrassingly.
"I SHIP!!" charles shrieks like a 12 year old girl, and i laugh.
"whatever, just go to target." i tell him.
"sounds good." he nods and focuses on the road in front of him.
my phone buzzes and i pick it up off the seat beside me.
