Married at 19 novel Chapter 24

　　We returned back to our apartment after our class ended, well technically I don’t have evening class, so I just waited for Bella until her boring lecture class ended to walk together again with her to our apartment and she didn’t know about it all.

　　"Do you want me to help you?" I approached her who was cooking in the kitchen.

　　"No...I can do it myself." She turns to face me with a smile curving her lips. "Um....by the way, I'm so sorry for making you wait for the meal... it's just I have replacement class and it ended so late today. "

　　"No.....no.....it's okay, you don't need to apologize to me. I can wait....seriously." I lean closer to the pot to smell the delicious scent coming from it. "By the way, the food smell so delicious."

　　"Oh....thanks, Nathan." She smiled. "I'm almost done now."

　　“Nice….." I grinned. "Let me help you set the table, then."

　　"No...." she stopped me. "I can do that too.... please wait in the living room, Nathan. Seriously, I really don't want to trouble you."

　　I touch the tip of her pointed nose. "Just let me help you, for this once. You have already helped me, by a lot, Bella."

　　Both of her cheeks start to blush now, maybe she feels a bit shy because I touched her nose.

　　I should not have done that.

　　Argghhh,I really hate when my hand did that....it just like it moved by its own.

　　"S-sorry about that...." I apologized to her.

　　Oh god.....the red tints that appear on her cheeks are so cute and my heart......it’s beating so fast now!

　　She then covers her cheeks with her palms. "It's okay....N-Nathan."

　　I quickly moved my gaze to the cabinet behind her where we stored our plates and the kitchenware in there.

　　"I will set up the table." I suggest, breaking the awkward moment between us.

　　She must be really shy right now, doesn't she?

　　Or worse, maybe she feels a bit upset with me, because I touched her without her permission.

　　She's obviously seems like that..... maybe the red tints on her cheeks were the cause by holding her angry feeling so much, like in the Tinker Bell movie.... where Tink went mad with her friend, Vidia so much.

　　I secretly took a glance at her who was continuing cooking the meal.

　　Yeahh.....she's mad!

　　She must be didn't like me at all. Or she maybe has someone else that she likes, but now she can't be together with him since she was forced to marry me.

　　Oh great....now I feel so terrible for her.

　　Mr Marion called me to his room after the class and he looked so scary though. He kept pushed me to tell the truth about my assignment since he noticed that I was not the one who made it.

　　"Mr Harrison, I will ask you again." My lecturer said to me with a scary look. "Are you the one who did these two assignments?"

　　I gulped once. "Y-yeah.."

　　"Please speak the truth, Mr Harrison!" He said with his voice raised a bit.

　　"I-I.....I'm sorry sir. My friend actually did that for me." I'm not brave enough to look into his eyes. "But....please give me another chance sir. I promise I will not do it again."

　　He puts his glasses down on the table in front of him.

　　He sighed. "Fine....I will give you another chance. But you must submit it by the end of this week....or you will fail in this subject."

　　I gulped once more. "Y-yes...sir. Thank you so much sir."

　　"Now go....start working on it. But make sure to do it by yourself this time! " He gave me a glare.

　　I nodded. "I will, sir, I promise!"

　　I was about to turn the door knob when he stopped me. "Wait.....I need to know which friend of yours actually did this assignments."

　　"O-oh.....she is Bella Dawson, sir. She is really a great friend of mine."

　　And a very good wife too.

　　"Well....I really impressed with her works. The ways she described the answers, the phrases and words that she used and also the examples that she included in it were all perfect. I think you are so lucky to have a friend like her, because she is really one of million....even I never have a friend like her. So trust me, Mr Harrison, I think you should feel so grateful to have a chance to know her. “The way he said the words really touched me deep inside.

　　Bella's face suddenly flashes in my mind.

　　I agreed, Bella, my childhood friend, who is now my wife now, is really a great person

　　I'm so lucky that I met her.

　　I went to the cafeteria, where my friend are all waiting for me. I think Seth already told them that I have been called by our lecturer.

　　They may be dying to know about my problem right now.

　　"Bella!!!" I heard a male voice calling for Bella from my back. "Hey Bella....."

　　I turned to the direction and saw a guy with blonde hair who was waving his hand at her. His eyes are blue just like me, but mine bluer. I have never seen him before, but the way he called her, they must be really close.

　　But.... why did I feel a bit irritated by him.

　　I looked at my other friends, and they gave me the look that they didn't know about him either.

　　"I missed you so much!!" He swiftly approached her at our table and gave her a hug. "We haven't seen for 6 years now. Seriously, wow...you look more beautiful, Bella"

　　Woah..... he even hugged her and told her beautiful too?

　　That's really crossed the line.

　　Don't you know, my Bella doesn't like to be touched!!!

　　Eh....wait a minute....did I just said my Bella??

　　Shoot!

　　Why I feel so angry about him all of sudden?

　　He did nothing to me.....and I don't even meet him before.

　　Besides, what kind of that I feel right now, exactly? I never feel like this before.

　　Arghhh.....this is so frustrating!!!

　　I look away from them, who looks so much friendly with each other.

　　I just can't take it anymore!

　　I took my backpack that I left on my seat and then walked away from the cafe, leaving them all before I lose control of myself.

　　That's must be her boyfriend, the one that she really likes.....the guy that she supposed to marry and obviously not me.

　　I'm sorry Bella, for stealing you from him. I really didn't mean to.

　　For the first time, my tears fall down on my cheeks because of one girl who I already ruined her bright future....besides my mom.

　　I'm truly sorry.....Isabella Dawson.
