THE BOY NEXT DOOR✓ EPISODE 112✓

Bella The rest of the day is a blur. I'm confined in bed like a small baby with Jade keeping a very sharp eye on me. Kain and George left to get Rebecca from the hospital since she was being discharged earlier in the day. They should be back any time from now. Everyone has been acting all guilty, blaming themselves for what happened to me and I'm just tired of rolling my eyes. "So you and Kain are in love now?" Ethan asks me from nowhere and Jay narrows his eyes at him. "You don't even belong with our group so no one owes you any explanations. Now shut the fuck up or collect your shit and go home." "I wasn't talking to you. Unless your name is Bella." Ethan replies sourly. "Do you have a problem with them being together?" Jade asks with a cocked eyebrow. "Actually I do. I wanted Bella first. I have no idea where that asshole came from." "First of all, the only asshole here is you, and second, leave Bella alone. It's none of your business whether she is with Kain or not!" Jade snaps. "Can't you all let Bella speak for herself!" Zac turns to his step brother. "Give up already. I did." 'You wanted Bella?" Ethan asks ridiculously. "Yes. So?" "She doesn't want me, the handsome brother. What makes you think she'd actually want you?" Zac glares at him. "One more word, and we're going to fight." "Bring it on." Ethan challenges. Boys and fighting. Jay holds Zac and pulls him back. "Stop this bro. Ethan is an asshat. Let him be." "I'm just trying to advice him. I love Bella but you don't hear me talking shit like him. If she wants Kain, then fine. We can't lose our long-term friendship because of a girl. Dudes don't do that." Wow, seems like Zac has some sense after all. "The only reason you are bailing out is because you are a pussy!" Ethan retaliates angrily. "If you were a real man, you would get your shit together and pursue the girl you want." "Are you all going to address me like I'm not here?" I ask once I realize the shit is getting out of control. Zac is the first to speak up. "You already know how I feel about you, Bella. If you ever decide to give me a chance, you know where to find me. Meanwhile, just know that I'll always be here for you. Kain is like my brother so I'm not going to force anything." He is serious and I feel a surge of tears. I quickly suppress it and I just nod. "Who else has a confession to make?" Jay asks with his usual humour. "I do." Cara says. "I used to have a mighty crush on Kain. I actually still do but it's just that; a crush. I won't try anything stupid." "Are you two dating already?" Jade asks me with a frown and I quickly shake my head. "We are not." "Then why are people making confessions?" Zac answers her. "Have you seen the way Kain looks at her? I was watching him since last night and that convinced me to leave Bella alone. I think he is in love with her." Jay bursts out laughing. "Kain? In love? I don't think so. Do you people even know him? He has ice in his veins in place of blood!" I stay quiet. Kain and love do not belong in the same sentence. We have kissed a few times and he has saved my life several times but I don't think I could describe that as love. He has never even said anything to me in terms of liking me. "Either way, Bella is mine. I'll fight for her like a real man." Ethan says with a tone of finality. He just doesn't give up; ever. "Give up already. If Kain wants her, then you don't stand a chance. He's going to beat the shit out of you." Jade tells him and he snorts . "Kain just wants sex and they are so done." Jade unscrews a bottle of ketchup and dumps the entire thing on Ethan's hair. She looks at him with wide eyes, feigning remorse. "I'm sorry I didn't see you there asshole." Ethan grits his teeth angrily. "You are trying to be a bitch because you know that I am right. Kain will leave her once he gets laid." My patience finally snaps and I sit up in bed. "Would you all just shut up? If you don't have anything to talk about then stop talking about me!" I yell and everyone looks at me in surprise. However, my outburst manages to make them shut up. ** Kain and George are back before nightfall and they assure us that Kain's Mom is fine and the possibility of her cracking is very low. Gianna suggests that we create a campfire since it's our last night in the cabin; a suggestion which is happily accepted. George, Ethan and Cara offer to collect firewood in the woods while Jay, Jade and I are supposed to make dinner. Gianna and Zac are busy sorting out the drinks and carrying them outside while Kain sits on the bed, typing away on his computer. After dinner, everyone walks outside where the fire is already burning. I hesitate, lagging behind because I don't have a jacket and it's freezing outside. Kain seems to sense my hesitation and he remains in the room while the rest pile out. "What's wrong?" He asks while walking to me. It's the first time we are together; just the two of us since my drowning moment and my heartbeat picks up instantly. "I don't have a jacket." I answer, staring at the floor to avoid his piercing eyes. Kain, however, is not having any of that. He holds me by the chin and tugs my face up until I'm staring at him. "How are you feeling?" He asks, his gaze holding mine. It takes me a minute to comprehend that he is asking about the drowning thing. "I don't know. " I reply uncertainly. I can't think when he is standing so close to me. I wish he'd just step back. "That's not an answer Belle." "I'm okay, fine... Like I feel better now." The edges of his sensual lips lift in a smirk. "You are blubbering." "I'm aware, thanks." I snap and he grins. "Sassy. I didn't think you could actually talk." I roll my eyes. "So it's a shocker, right? Like I can actually say a few English words?." He looks down at me for a moment, his head tilted slightly to one side while staring at me thoughtfully. He actually looks amused. "I just realized that you have a sassy side.." Then he laughs lightly. "This is refreshing." "If you are done laughing at me then I am going to join the rest outside." I turn around to walk away but he moves fast, wrapping his arms around me and hugging me from behind. He tightens his hold when I struggle and I'm pressed against his hard torso. He spins me suddenly and I'm facing him, his lips dangerously close, his warm breath totally intoxicating on my face. He gives me a gentle push and I stumble backwards with his arms still around me. He keeps pushing me and I make small unsure steps backwards, not sure where we are headed. I gasp when my back hits a wall and my eyes widen when he moves in and traps me against it with his body. I don't have an escape. He looks somehow amused when he sees the look of pure horror on my face. He bends over a little until our faces are on the same level. "Wrap your arms around my neck." He instructs in a whisper and when I hesitate, he takes my hands then hooks them where he wants them. Without warning, he lifts me off the ground, and my back is pressed against the wall. As an automatic reaction, my legs go around his waist. He grins and I realize that that's exactly where he wanted them. "What do you want?" I ask while glancing over his shoulder at the door. Supposing someone walked in on us while we were in that position? "I just want a kiss." He says while staring at my lips, then deliberately, he licks his bottom lip. Whoaa. This boy will be the end of me. "Supposing I say no?" I ask haughtily even though kissing him is the only thing on my mind right now. He lifts an arrogant eyebrow. "Trust me you don't want to do this right now." "You wouldn't force me, would you?" I challenge him and he shrugs. "Let's find out." And in the next instant, his lips are on mine, his tongue coaxing it's way through my pursed lips. "Kiss me back." He whispers huskily and I forget about my earlier resolve. Throwing all caution to the wind, I kiss him back. As usual, my heartbeat escalates and I thread my fingers through his hair. He kisses me expertly, patiently, like he has nothing else to do in the world. He pulls back when I moan and I immediately miss the warmth of his lips. "Open your eyes, baby." He whispers when my eyes remain closed and he is gazing at me with those intense eyes. He runs back of his hand down the side of my face. "You are mine. You hear me?" He asks quietly and butterflies flutter in my stomach. I'm his? "Are you listening to me?" He whispers with a furrowed brow when I keep staring at him. "Yes." I whisper back. "What did I say?" "That I am..." I clear my throat. Saying the words are not as easy as I actually imagined. "That you are what, Belle?" He kisses my jawbone the tilts my head back, planting a sweet wet kiss on my throat. Oh my God. "Say it." He taunts me with his lips nuzzling the sensitive spot below my ear. "Yours. I am yours." I squeak. "Good girl." He approves while pulling back. His lips are on mine once again and I close my eyes as the unfamiliar sensations bombard me. We are so occupied in our private moment that we don't hear the door opening. "Jesus Christ! You two get a room already!" Jay yells and Kain sighs against my lips. I can tell he is very annoyed but I'm just tensed and embarrassed. "There are no rooms here Jay." Kain tells him in an irritated voice. "There's only this room so get the fuck out of the door." "Then go get a bush or something. I'm not ready to watch anything rated R right now!" "Can't you just get lost already?" Kain asks in that annoyed tone but Jay just rolls his eyes. "After you. I won't give you guys the chance to christen the bed or the couch." "We were not going to...." Kain starts but Jay stops him. "I'm not taking chances with my bed." Sighing in despair, Kain lowers me until my feet hit the ground. He takes his jacket off and wraps it around my shoulders. Ignoring Jay, he takes my hand and leads me outside.
