"Well, I was thinking why don't you come with me to the mall, since Nathan will be at the hospital, we both can have fun. Best friends time!" Janet turned to face me as if she was asking me which surprised me.
"If Nathan is fine with it then I can go." Janet spoke as she sipped her tea. Bella turned her evil eyes at me as I smirked.
"We don't have to ask his permission." Bella hissed as I chuckled.
"Sure, you can go." I said as I faced Janet, whose face suddenly ignited with happiness.
"Thank you." Janet mumbled as Bella was confused by my sudden change of plans. Yes, I wanted Janet to be with me at the hospital but she needs to spend some time with Bella too, to get to know her. She can't be with me 24/7 even though I want her to be in my arms, always.

"Call me whenever there is any problem. And for the love of God, drive safely." I told her, irritated by her as I watched her getting in the car.
"I will, don't get your underwear in a twist." I rolled my eyes at her words as Janet walked out of the front door wearing those tight jeans that Bella made her wear and that red crop top. Shit! I hope no guy's ogle at her and please pray for my blue balls.
"Take care, okay?" I told her as she stared at me, smiling and nodded. I leaned forward and kissed her forehead and let my lips stay there as I savored the moment which was ruined by the horn of Bella's car.
"Come on you love birds! You do this after I leave from your house." She said still honking the car. I groaned as I watched Janet's cheek getting red.
"Bye" She whispered as she walked towards Bella's car. I saw Bella smirking as I narrowed my eyes at her. I knew she honked the car because annoying the shit out of me was and is her job since childhood.
"Bye brother." She yelled as she reversed the car out of the garage and went along the road. I signed as I hoped Janet will be safe with her.
Janet Rivera's POV
"Okay first I need some dresses and then lastly we need to go to the lingerie shop." Bella said as I suddenly got confused. I did not know what lingerie was. I never learned that word.
"I need to get new ones and I will buy some for you too with obviously, Nathan credit card. And also, I need some clothes, being manager of a writing company is not so easy. You always need to remain professional" She kept talking as I listened, she was a fun company. Bella was beautiful though, she looked more like Nathan. Same eyes and hair color, and they both were tall. I mean, Nathan was longer but still, her legs were lean and slender. She was confident.
We went inside shops after shops, we had loads of bags. I went insane, as I told her to stop and finally, she did. She shops like crazy. We went to the parking lot to put our bags in the car and then went back to the mall to buy Lingerie, which I still don't know what is.
We talked too much, mostly she did as I got to know her well. She was a writer when she got promoted to higher rank as a manager, who selects the book to get published. And she bakes which I don't know how too. She said she will teach me when we meet again. She is 25 years old, one year older than Nathan. She also talked about Nathan, how he had started studying University really quick, he was only 16 when he went to university and got a medical degree by 21 and then started taking care of the hospital that was over by his late father. I was proud of him at that point.
"Okay back to the mall. Help me choose some Lingerie. Will you?" Bella said as I nodded, stupidly without knowing.
"You mean wear this?" I asked, shocked.
"Why not?" She winked as I blushed deeper.
"No, no I don't want too." I said waving my hands.
"Well at least buy them. For future use." She mumbled the last three words as I didn't understand those.
"No, I don't want them."
"Sure, your choice." She tested ten pairs and bought only two. I was tired by now as it was 3 in the afternoon. Nathan would be home by now. I was sitting in the car waiting for Bella to bring us food.
"Here is the food." She said as she got in the car. She handing me a burrito and a cold drink as she took her out of the packet.
I thanked her as we ate in the car. We talked more till we were done with our food as she made fun of people walking in and out of the mall. I can't believe I laughed this much in my entire life. We hit the road as we were almost home.
