“Bella you are doing really well-” A mint haired guy smiled which Bella returned.
“But not more than me!” The guy laughed.
“You dumbass.” Bella smacked the guy on his back.
“Pay.” The guy ran from the cafe alone leaving Bella alone to pay and she shook her head before paying.
“Andrew, I am fucking paying for your lunch for the fifth time this month.”
Bella said glaring at the mint haired.
“I don't have money!” Andrew whined.
“Just say you waste it on clubbing.” Bella uttered rolling her eyes.
“Fine, Come with me on Club today. We'll have fun and I'll repay you too.” Andrew shrugged.
“You know I am not interested in clubbing.”
“Please…. Bellaaa.” Andrew whined.
“Fine.” Bella uttered, rolling her eyes for nth time.
Bella took a taxi and was in front of her apartment in minutes. She stretched her muscles as it had been tiring to work as a trainee.
Bella took a pen from her bag and walked to the other side of the room where a calendar was hanging, she encircled the present date. It's been two months… Two months after Chris and her date, after the night they made love and after she came to know that Chris is no more.
Thinking of the day, she was not allowed to even look at the dead body apart from photos and videos from the internet because Liam told her that she should stay away as Chris's rivals should not get to know about her.
She still believed that Chris is alive, breathing somewhere because she is still alive so he must be somewhere right?.
She then turned her face away from the calendar to look at the photo they took together on their first date and circled Chris's face with her index finger, “You've got a lot of explaining to do, Chris. I would not forgive you easily for making me cry every night.”
She completely ignored Liam and John, she rarely met Aria at her college campus.
Aris was concerned too because Bella didn't complain or cry a single time, it was as if Chris didn't exist for her…
“Bitch… just give me my answer!” Bella yelled on the phone , making Aria almost deaf.
“But why are you going clubbing?” Aria asked.
“Am I not allowed to?” Bella uttered trying to find a nice outfit, her laptop lying on the bed, they were face timing each other.
“But… Bella.. uhm.. Are you really okay or are you just pretending to be? Like there was a time I could read your emotions clearly just by your voice but this time it's confusing me… Really!”
Bella snapped her head towards the laptop and kneeled on the floor pulling the laptop closer.
“I am really really okay, babes. Don't worry.” Bella winked getting up and continued to shuffle her clothes.
Aria gaped, she couldn't believe this was the same Bella who cried like a baby when her favourite keychain got lost that Aria gifted her… now there she is going to a club after losing her boyfriend.
“How about this?” Bella asked excitedly, showing a black dress.
“That's not your taste, bitch. You are into soft romance books and this one looks like a dress adeline would wear before Zade fucks her.” Aria uttered, rolling her eyes and sipping on her bubble tea.
“Maybe this dress would summon my Zade…” Bella mumbled.
“What!?” Aria asked, choking on her bubble tea.
“I mean who knows I'll get a dick tonight.” Bella winked again.
Aria's mouth dropped open and Bella was choosing matching jwelleries for her dress.
“I think I need to process what I just felt like you are not the same Bella anymore whom I used to know.” Aria uttered, massaging her forehead.
Bella hummed.
“So let's talk later and take care okay?” Aria said leaning closer to the laptop watching Bella trying out an earring.
“Yeah.” Aria sighed and was about to hang the call, “Wait!” Bella uttered moving closer to the laptop, “Babes, I am not into soft romance anymore. I am now into morally grey men… I fucking love that!” Bella whispered grinningly.
“Did you perhaps binge watch on Tvd!?” Aria asked.
“I’ll discuss that later.. Now I need to get ready. I want to look fucking hot tonight. Bye babes.” Bella hung the phone winking for a last time.
After hanging the video call, Bella glanced herself in the mirror and shoved the dress away. She smiled and started laughing like a maniac… her laughs echoed in the empty apartment, she laughed crazily as if she heard the World's funniest joke.
Her laughs soon turned to sob and she sobbed… she sobbed till tears were no more forming in her eyes. She sat lifelessly, and she flinched when a notification popped in her phone.
Andrew

Bella
Okay 👍🏻
Andrew
R u rly ready for clubbing? Now that I think of it, I don't want u to sit there lazily like a grandma 😭🙄
Bella
Grandma my ass! Stfu I am rly joining u. I need a break 😌
Andrew
Fine 😊
Bella sighed and walked to her bathroom to freshen up, after half an hour she stood in front of a full-length mirror, her reflection showcasing a stunning, form-fitting black dress that hugged her curves perfectly. The dress is sleek, with a plunging neckline and thin straps that reveal just enough skin to be alluring without being overt. The fabric shimmers subtly under the soft glow of her bedroom lights, giving her a sophisticated and sultry look.
She slips on a pair of high heels, their glossy finish matching the dress, and adds a touch of bold red lipstick, which pops against her dark attire. She styled her blonde hair in loose waves, cascading over her shoulders, adding to the overall effect of effortless glamour. She accessories with delicate silver earrings and a simple bracelet, letting the dress take centre stage.
As she takes one last look in the mirror, she smirks with confidence, knowing she’s ready to turn heads the moment she steps into the club.
Andrew
Reached at your place! 😃
Bella
Coming..
She glances at herself for the last time. With a satisfied smile, she grabs her clutch and heads to the door.
When she opens it, Andrew was standing there, leaning casually against the doorframe. He’s dressed sharp, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he looks her up and down, clearly appreciating the effort she’s put into her look. “Wow,” he says, his voice teasing but with a genuine admiration, “Ah.. Excuse me, hot lady… did you perhaps know where my friend is? I am here to pick her up… it's getting late!”
She rolls her eyes playfully. “Do I look that different?” she shoots back. “Of course, it's a 360° turn!” Bella chuckled, he steps closer, still grinning teasingly, and offers her his arm.
As they walk to the car, he holds the door open for her.
He slides into the driver’s seat, stealing one more glance at her before starting the engine. “Ready to break some hearts tonight?”
She smirks, settling into her seat. “Can't wait!”
“They are leaving for clubbing.. Aria told me… Bella just doesn't seem to miss you bro.” Liam utters.
“It's time to finally meet my darling and give her a lesson to not hangout with others.” The hazel eyed whispered huskily.
