11- "Missin' you"

Bella's POV

Today hasn't been a good day for me. I've been spacing out, thinking about Adrian. I really want to call him today. I haven't spoken to him in nearly a month.

I really do miss him, I wonder if he misses me too.

I remember how I first met Adrian.

It was at school, I was in middle school then.  Our parents used to hangout a lot, and I always see Adrian. At first I was too scared to talk to him, but he was always there for me,  I wasn't really good at school work,  but he was always to help me. Even though I was always hard headed and wanted to show him that I was smart enough to do it on my own.

We started dating during my sophomore year, which was two years ago. He was my first boyfriend, but not my first kiss.  I had my first kiss when I was seven,  crazy huh?

I've been dating Adrian for two years. I really love him. I don't want to lose him.

"No!" I groaned, resting my head on the counter. I'll probably have a headache from all the thinking I've been doing.

Today is one of those days where people decided they want to spend their entire day at the beach, leaving the diner most empty.

I took out my iPhone 11 from my ripped jeans, I turned it on scrolling through Instagram,  looking for something new to watch or someone with an interesting account.

I kept scrolling, stopped when I saw Ashton's account. I looked through his posts,  a few with his family and friends.

OMG! Kill me,  just kill me!

I looked at the next picture of him, in  picture he was  shirtless.  He wore joggers that hung loosely around his waist,  exposing his eminent V line, and his hair fell slightly over his forehead.

He looks so hot! Snap out if it! I scolded, hitting my hand on my head. I scrolled to another photo, not wanting to admire his beautiful features anymore.

"Excuse me!" A customer yelled,  snapping me out if my fangirling situation.

"Oh.. Sorry to waste your time,  what did you say?" I asked scratching my neck.

"I ordered coffee and a cheese Danish, but I want one of those coffee art.  I'm not sure which one I want, so I want you to make your favorite" She said with a smile.

I nodded and began making the coffee,  while she sat on the chair beside the window.

My favorite coffee art was the bunny, mainly because Adrian's pet name for me is bunny,  and on our first year anniversary it was the coffee art in the coffee we drank,  and his favorite animal is a bunny.  It's basically our special thing. It might sound so simple,  but to us it means a lot.

I put both the coffee and danish in a tray,  I walked to her table trying not to spill the coffee, I put the Danish and coffee on the table.

I smiled and watched her,  as she looked at the coffee art in admiration.  I smiled happy that she likes it.

"Thank you so much,  it's soo cute" She said in awe.

"You're welcome" I smiled and walked away.

My heart felt heavy and my eye felt like they wanted to water. I miss Adrian so much,  I hope I'll be able to see him soon.

...

The remaining hours of work went by really fast,  not much customers came and my night shift was kind of boring.

I walked outside the diner,  waiting for Matt. Matt is the one who takes me home after every shift,  he's really nice, and always insisted he'd open the door for me.  What a gentleman!

Matt dropped me in front of my house, I turned to open the car door,  when I felt Matt hold me back.

I turned to him and smiled, he smiled back at me.

He let go of my hand. "Umm... I was wondering i-if y-you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?" He asked, running his hands through his brown curly hair nervously.

Is he asking me out?

No, no!  He's definitely not,  right?

Maybe a friendly date,  I guess..

I have a boyfriend!

If I say yes I'll be cheating on Adrian...

"Is it a date? You know I have a boyfriend" I said,  he looked a little bit sad.

"No, just like two friends hanging out together.  Is that ok?" He asked.

"Sure!  That'll be fun!" I said excitedly, grinning.

"Great,  I'll pick you up tomorrow by six?"

"Yeah sure" I said with a smile.

I smiled at him once more,  stepping out of the car.

I unlocked the door with my spare key, I walked into the house feeling exhausted.

"I'm home!" I screamed, throwing my bag to the corner close to the door,  where the coats and jackets are hung.

I walked straight to the kitchen,  I stopped when I saw everyone had already finished eating dinner.

"Wow! You finished dinner without me!" I said sitting down on the dining table.

"You came home so late,  it's almost 9pm" My dad said, looking at me, his eyes looked like they were begging for an explanation.

"I'm sorry, I had a night shift that ends 8pm, and the drive back to San Bernardino was long" I explained.

"We're sorry we didn't have dinner with you.  Your food is in the fridge. You can microwave it if you're hungry" My mom said from the kitchen.

"Ok I'll go change into my Pajamas first" I said running up the stairs to my bedroom.

I swung the door to my room open,  inhaling the fresh scent of strawberries. I placed my phone on my vanity table.  I walked to my closet and picked my favorite pair of Pj's.

It was the gray shorts and shirt,  I quickly wore it tossing the clothes I was wearing into my clothes hamper. I pulled my hair into a loose ponytail and washed my face.

After I was done, I walked to the kitchen and microwaved my food, it was 'Mapo Tofu'-My third favorite food just below 'Honey Chicken.' My favorite food was Chicken Adobo,  I love eating it. The taste makes me feel like I tasted heaven.

I took one last spoon of the Mapo Tofu, humm.. It tastes so good!

I licked my lips and stood up from my place on the kitchen counter, I walked to the sink and washed my plate, after washing it placed it on the plate rack.

I walked straight back to my room feeling full. I entered my room and locked the door behind me. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth,  I lay on my bed, covering myself with the quilt.

...

I glanced at the clock, seeing the time was 1:30am. For the past three hours I've been in bed I haven't been able to sleep. I tossed and turned in bed trying to find a comfortable spot in bed,  but I couldn't.

Humph! Maybe I should call Adrian, whenever I couldn't sleep at night, Adrian and I would talk for hours and hours until we'd eventually fall asleep.

I picked up my phone from my nightstand, turned it on and texted Adrian.

Me:

Hi,  it's been long since we talked, How are you?

I waited a few minutes before he texted back.

My heart:

I'm fine,  it's been a pretting time:)

Me:

Missin' you

My heart:

Yeah,  I have to go it's pretty late. Goodnight

Me:

Goodnight<3

I texted back, well that was short,  I thought he was going to say he misses me too.

Don't get worked up about it, Bella!

Boys don't get overly excited like girls do. I assured myself,  before going to bed.

A/N

I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter, I enjoyed writing it.

I really thought it would be nice to write a whole entire chapter centered around Adrian and Bella's relationship. I felt like I didn't really talk about them too much, mainly because Adrian is in Hawaii!

How do you feel about Adrian's attitude towards Bella?

What about Matt?
