Bella's POV I spent more time with Francisca, she promised to do her best in protecting me from Monica "Let me guess, Monica exact threat was that if or whenever you interact with Peter, she'll tell the whole world your true identity?" Francisca spoke to me while moved to our usual table. "That's right. Arrrrgh!" I "That explains why Monica is clinging around him now" She said and I eye searched for both of them. Monica wrapped her hand around over his neck, he took them over but she did it over again. "Monica has always been clinging around him" "Yeah, it just worsen" She caught me staring at them, so I took my eyes off them quickily and sat down with Francisca. "I feel for you and Peter" "Huh?? What do you mean? " She literally ruin everything for you guys" Francisca said emphasising the last word 'Everything'"I'm fine, at least I'm managing.. Monica can only stop me from talking to Peter here in school, not at home or maybe when she'
Bella's POV "Hi darling" Monica came over, sat in front of me and smiled at me wickedly. What does she want this time around? "Hi" I rolled my eyes and ate my snacks slowly; trying to avoid her and acting like I do not care about whatever she wanted to say to me. "Oh wow! You have the nerves now! Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I didn't say anything. "Okay, I can see you have been avoiding Peter; just like I have told you but uhm, it's not enough for me to decide whether to reveal your identity to everyone or not" She continued to smile wickedly. Who does she really thinks she is? Does she really think she can control me anyhow she wants? Geez, I needed to be like Francisca. "Are you trying to blackmail me or what Monica?" I voiced out. "You call that Blackmail?" "You are threatening me! Haven't you had enough already?" "Oh no, I haven't" She responded. "Well then, go ahead and tell everyone." I said.. I swear, I didn't know
Bella's POV We acted like everything is normal between us; Of course everything is normal. We haven't just completely fixed the bond I broke when I changed towards him. Why do I fill like he has been staring at me since that saturday morning. "Hi" He said when I set his meal in front of him on the table. I looked at his face, only to see him smiling.. I smiled too. "...Hi" I managed to say to him back. "No hiding today, you are gonna eat on the dining table here with me" "Hmmn Okay" I replied without hesitating. I returned to place my food on the table too and sat right in front of him. We ate silently yet it felt really awkward, I felt like popping up the question.. 'What's wrong with us?' Yeah, we are acting somehow. "My mom is coming home tomorrow but my dad, I don't even know. He is an absolute workaholic" He announced while we were eating. "Oh... Your mom would be at home tomorrow?" "Yeah she called me today. It's surprising
Peter's POV The serene became calm. I was a little bit shy, I was avoiding to look into her eyes because she was already staring back. I summoned up courage to face her. Her eyes caught mine and I mistakenly gulped down my saliva. This feeling.."I ..Uhm..." I broke the awkward silence. The door bell rang interrupting the sweet serene too. "Are you expecting anyone?" I asked her. "No" She shook her head. "Probably your usual unexpected visitor, Monica" Bella said. "No... I spoke with Monica earlier" "Sure you did" She nodded like she meant something. "She..she's with Vincent" I stammered trying to proof to her that I do not have feelings for Monica...'cos it seemed she thinks so. "Okay!" The door bell rang again.. "I'll go get the door" She said, already walking towards the door. I stood there, wondering who it was. Monica? Could it that she already know the plan? Jeez! "Mother" Bella exclaimed as she opened the door. Oh H
Vincent sat by the restaurant window side; eagerly waiting for Monica's arrive. For a minute, he doubt if his friend, Peter really told Monica to come over. He dressed in his best casual clothes, all to look good for her. After some minutes, he sighted Monica rushing into the restaurant. At first; he smiled then frowned; realizing that she Rushed down here because she thinks she was gonna meet Peter. Monica looked so kinky, she wore a beautiful off shoulders blouse almost revealing her boobs and a Mini matching skirt. She wore some powder too; looking as beautiful as ever. Monica looked around, in search for Peter; she suddenly sighted me, ignored me for a while then looked around again. "Hey Monica" I waved to draw her attention back to me again. She smiled and walked over to me innocently. "Hi Vincent" "Hi.. Monica.." I stuttered. "You are looking so beautiful" I complimented, to my greatest surprise, she blushed. "Am I?" I nodded.. I didn't kno
Monica's POV. "Arrrrgh! " I stumbled into the house angrily Is this some sort of Joke or something? Peter decieved me Big time! I roughed my hair and continued to groan. Is Vincent crazy?! How could he tell me that he likes me when he knows that I am completely into Peter?! Oh Jeez! I threw myself on the armchair and fought it like the chair caused the whole issue. "Monica! Is that you?" I heard my mom's voice from within... Huh?! It was then it dawn to me that I bumped inside the house without unlocking the door myself. "Mommy?!" She showed up and i rushed to meet her. "I came in few minutes ago, where were you Monica?" She asked after we disengaged. "Err.. I went out to see a friend" "Peter?" "I wish" I muttered, frowning."By the way, is Dad around also?" "He'll be here very soon dear. We are here to enjoy the weekend with you" She said. I scoffed; "I see" "I should really get used to staying at home all by myself fo
Bella's POV Then he stood up walked closer to me.. "I actually meant it when I said that I like you. I really like you Bella" Peter confessed.I stared at him for while, dumbfounded. He held my hand and it sent a cold shiver down my vein. I began to hiccup all of a sudden. "Sorry!" I managed to say. "I...uhm.. I think I'm feeling a little bit sleepy" I stammered and rushed out of his room.. down to mine. * I threw myself on the bed as soon as I got to my room; sure I wouldn't just doze off like that after he said those words to me. It kept reminiscing in my head and I could hear his voice around me; his face too which I drool for. I tossed on my bed to jerk out of this thought. It was really hard as it gave more meaning. Peter really likes me too? Obviously.. Also, he confessed his feelings for me despite our cringey relationship. Hasn't he thought about what his friends and parents might say when they find out he likes me and if at all, I accept him beca
Peter's POV "We are having big visitors today!" My mom rushed down the stairs, dressed in a simple classy outfit. She almost caught me peeping through Bella's door. I was just coming from there. No, not the other way round, do not misunderstand. I haven't been myself this morning and I don't think Bella has been feeling good about everything or probably because of my mom's arrival. "Big visitors? Who are they?" I asked her. "Chloe's Of course!" Ah! Monica's family. "Hmmn" I didn't say anything. "Actually, only Monica and her mom are coming here. Mr Chloe is caught up with something" Whatever. Wait! Monica is coming here? Damn! Vincent was mad at me yesterday. Now it's time to face Monica squarely and defend myself. "Bella!" My mom yelled and Bella stumbled out of her room immediately,as if she knew my mom was gonna call her. "Ma..'am" She said. "Arrange the canopy, cocktails and some snacks by the swimming pool side" My mom ordered. "
