CHAPTER 49
#Bella’s P. O. V
To say I’m screwed would be an understatement I’m more than screwed how could this happen to me.
How could I fall for Nicoli King. I am more than an idiot for this. Sure he might be affectionate to me but that’s only because his faking it for his mother not because he really likes me.
That night I didn’t sleep all I could do was twist and turn in bed but I finally came to one conclusion that I’m not falling for Nicoli Maybe I’m just confusing gratitude with other feelings since he took a bullet for me. That’s probably it.
I slowly open my eyes and look at the closed curtain in confusion. Usually Nicoli opens it when he wakes up.
I turn around and look at him still sleeping peacefully. He looks like an angel when sleeping he’s so relaxed and peaceful.
His black hair is a mess on his head, The way his lashes just frame his face perfectly and how his lips are slightly parted as he breaths.
A strand of hair falls out of his hair and I’m so tempted to touch his face. I finally do it and fix his hair. His eyes open so quickly they scare me I lose my balance my feet get tangled in the sheets and I end up falling on the floor.
“You okay Malishka”Nicoli asks from the bed and I scold at him. I get up from the floor and fix myself up.
“Shouldnt you be at work?”I question him with a raised brow. Nicoli looks at the wall clock and curses… he jumps out of bed and quickly runs in the closet.
I sit on the bed and wait for him to come out. A few minutes later Nicoli comes out fully dresses and notting his tie.
“Mama said she didn’t want me to go to work”He curses running his hand in his hair a few times.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“I’ll see you later my dear wife”Nicoli kisses me softly and he walks out of the room. The moment he’s out I fall on the bed with a deep sigh.
Today I have to meet my mother and Carmy for lunch and well its gonna be pretty fun.
I drag myself to the bathroom took my quick shower. I put on a knee length white comfy dress and some simple pumps I braid my hair one side and leave the other as it is.
“Morning”I greet Sarah who is in the kitchen.
“Hello darling”She greets as well putting a plate of food before me.
“So what are you doing today?”She asks drinking her tea.
“I’m meeting my mom and friend in the afternoon wanna come”I ask her and she nods her head.
“Hello mom”I greet with a smile as she and Carmy take there seats.
“Who is your friemd?”My mother’s asks pointing to Sarah who is sitting next to me.
“This is Sarah Nicoli’s mother”I introduce them all to each other.
“Sarah this is my mom Skylar and best friend Carmy”
“Hello”My mother greets and a waiter comes to take our orders. We all order our food and start talking.
“Well you seem happy”My mom grins with a mischievous smile on her face and I knew what was happening.
“No no no lets talk about you how is the pregancy” I question trying to change the subject from me.
“I’m guessing its because of Nicoli”Carmy adds.
“Yes I’m sure Carly she even had more guards than me”My mom says looking at Ken and a few guards who are sitting at another table a little bit far way from us .
“That’s nothing”I wave it off then i remember something I wanted to ask her.
“Mom who is Brittney?”I ask her and she stops drinking her juice.
“Well Brittney and I used to be ‘good’ friends”She smirks and I instantly know what she’s talking about.
“Well I m-“Ken comes and disturbs us before i can finish my sentence.
“Mam we have to go”He places some money in the table and grabs me by my arm practically pulling me towards the car.
“What’s wrong “I ask as the other guard helps Sarah into the car.
“There was a shootout at one of our warehouses and Drake told us to get you out of here”He explains driving the car like a mad man.
“Ken you’ll kill us”Sarah yells at him but he simply goes faster.
We reach home in a few minutes and Ken tells us to enter the house.
“I’m not going anywhere until Nicoli gets here”I stubbornly reply standing at the door.
“Mam if anything happens to you Drake will kill me”Ken says trying to get me inside
“If you touch me I’ll tell Nicoli you tried to rape me”I smirk. The fear in Ken’s eyes just makes it more abvious how much people fear Nicoli its actually amusing.
I stay out waiting for Nicoli till it rains and I get soaked. The cold wind makes me get inside but I’m still totally wet so I go to my room and take a warm shower.
I sneeze as I put on my pyjamas and I instantly know I have a cold. I grab a tissue and wipe my runny nose. I get under the covers and try to get warm.
Just as sleep is about to take over the door opens and I look up. Nicoli enters the room, his shirt covered in blood and he walks to the bathroom.
I hear the shower start running so I know his taking a shower. I sit up and look at the door waiting for him. A few minutes later Nicoli walks out with nothing but a towel around his waist.
He walks to the closet and comes back wearing silk boxers only.
“Where were you?”I ask him as he walks up to me.
“I was taking care of something don’t worry”He explains climbing on the bed.
I place my head on his chest and close my eyes relishing in the feeling of Nicoli’s body heat keeping me warm.
