Chapter 15

Bella couldn't help but to fidget sitting on Pouge's couch. She couldn't believe that she was feeling this awkward around the guy she had basically grown up with. Then again they hadn't really talked since Halloween and it was nearly summer.

"Do you feel as awkward as I do?" Bella blurted feeling her cheeks warm as she made eye contact with the surprised Son.

"That's how we're gonna start this?" Pouge asked amused.

"Guess so." Bella muttered looking down at the ground.

"Look Butterfly, we'll talk about us whenever you want to," Pouge began, "but what I really want to know is what it is that Reid did that made you this mad at him."

"Do we have to?" She whined making him laugh.

"Yes because we all know what Reid will do without you to rein him in." He said laughing even more when she snorted.

"Maybe that's why he's such an ass to everyone when I'm there." The girl muttered making Pouge frown.

"What happened?" He asked her gently.

"He and Maria, mostly him, are making everyone go insane not admitting that they care about each other more than friends and different from brother and sister." Bella began. "The other day Reid was supposed to come and pick me up from school. I was a couple minutes late and when I got to the parking lot he had some blonde girl pressed up against his car."

"Fucking Garwin." Pouge muttered shaking his head. He knew that Reid could be a bit of a slut puppy but he never showed that side around Bella, although she heard enough about it to make her upset and have the younger Son apologizing to her.

"She was trying to." Bella scowled making Pouge choke. Turning to see if he was alright she found that he was laughing. Confused she thought about what it was that could have made him laugh.

"Nice Bells." He said laughing when the blushing girl shoved him.

"Shut up Pogo." She said giggling when he started to tickle her. One minute they were on the couch and the next she was on the ground trying to wiggle out from under Pouge.

"You give up yet Butterfly?" He asked her humorously.

"I give Pogo." She answered still giggling. Bella looked up and caught his eyes. Both were a little distracted and were unknowingly moving closer to one another when there was a knock breaking them out of their little spell.

"We know you're in there open the door Perry." A voice called making the two on the floor roll their eyes before Pouge got up and then helped her up.

"Hey guys how are you?" Pouge asked opening the door to let the rest of their covens in.

"Just peachy keen jelly bean." Angela giggled dodging the older boy when he went to tickle her.

"Sooner or later Angel." Pouge smirked at the younger girl.

"Uh huh, we'll see Pogo." Angela smirked back making the others laugh.

"Should I be worried?" Tyler asked Bella who just shook her head smiling.

"Nah, she only has eyes for you bub." Bella said making Tyler smile, happy to know that his best friend was finally in a better mood than she had been in the last couple of months.

"Hey Belly, can we talk?" Reid asked the girl quietly. She looked at him and then nodded leading him to Pouge's room so they could have some form of privacy.

"What did you want to talk about?" She asked not looking at him.

"Whatever it was that I did to make you mad at me." He said sad that the girl wouldn't even look at him.

"Why don't you go ask the blonde from my school." She snapped.

"That's what has you so mad at me?" Reid asked her in shock.

"Look Reid I know you let everyone else think that you're some slut puppy who isn't all that smart but you can't pretend with you." Bella said. "You and Maria both have feelings for each other and you guys are driving everyone else up the wall with all of the dancing you two are doing. And don't give me that look my situation is different from yours and you know it."

"You're right we do have feelings for one another but she's been pretty distant lately." Reid said looking down.

"Why didn't you just say something to her?" Bella asked sitting down on the bed motioning for him to do the same.

"Because, I've never felt this way for another girl and if I'm being honest it scares me." He admitted to her.

"Sometimes bubba being scared causes you to lose the thing you love." She told him knowing that she needed to actually talk things out with Pouge now that she was making her brother do the same.

"Why does growing up have to be so hard?" He sighed.

"Because if it was easy then we wouldn't really be growing up." She said making him laugh.

"You still mad at me Belly?" He asked her.

"I guess not ReRe." Bella sighed dramatically squealing when n he started to tickle her.

"You guys ok in here?" Pouge asked poking his head in through the door.
"Right as rain." Reid said making the older boy roll his eyes.

"You've been spending to mush time with Angel man." Pouge told him.

"Or you're just grouchy. I'm gonna go and distract the others while you two finish talking." Reid said pulling Pouge into the room then closing the door.

"Wow." Was all Bella could say.

"Well we might as well do what he said." Pouge said shaking his head.

"Ok." She said getting slightly nervous.

"Why are you so scared of us getting together?" He asked sitting down next to her.

"I'm afraid of what my mom and Phil and his merry bad of itch killers will do to you if hey win." Bella told him avoiding eye contact.

"I've got new for you babe, it's gonna take a lot more than some crazy witch killers and your crazy mother to scare me away from you." Pouge told her, reaching over and lifting her face so that he could meet her eyes.

"But I don't want anything to happen to you because of me." She whispered afraid of what could happen to the both of them.

"Well we're just gonna have to worry about that when the times comes." He told her before leaning in and kissing her.
