Friends & Enemies part3

Nicolai Pov

After we ate and everyone went to do what they had to do ,i was left alone with Bella she kept looking at me and spacing off so i sat down next to her and asked her what was on her mind , she kept opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water , wanting to say something but i guess she wasn't sure how to say it .

I say hey bella you know you can tell me anything right whats up?

She begins to say "at first I wasn't sure if i should tell you what happened today before i came here but since you're so curious ima tell you ", she pauses as if waiting for my ok .

I nod ok and she tells me that she was at the park with baxter playing and when baxter ran for the ball she was pushed hard and when she turned around to say something it was the nurse from my party, i guess bella is bad remembering names and so she continued to tell me what happened and i was shocked like what the heck is wrong with tilly .

Soon after she sees my reaction she says "wait that's not all ,I asked ; what the heck is her problem the nurse tells me to stay away from her man. "

At this point bella is shaking her head with a irritated giggle and then said" i asked who's her man ?and she said Nicolai and so i chuckled at that and told her that according to you that she just an ex and she tried to push me but baxter barked at her ,before she left she told me to watch my back ".

Bella Pov:

When i finish telling him what the nurse did and said he was about to say something but I stopped him at this point I'm already irritated remembering it all .

I didn't push her back because the meds I'm taking has me a bit weak but I wasn't gonna tell Nicolai that.

I look at him and say do me a favor and keep her away, talk to her because I honestly don't need problems in my life.

If she doesn't stay in her place and comes for me again i will put her in her place and it won't be nice i say upset .

Nicolai Pov:

I was stunned by all of this , i look at bella and tell her i will talk to tilly , Bella looks at me sideways and i say tilly is the nurse name she nods ok and i say sorry for what tilly did she shakes her head and say lets move on from this subject it's giving me headache ;i nod an ok and then i notice Bella is bleeding through her nose she tries to wipe it before i see but it was too late i ask her if she ok ,she nods a yes .

I grab napkins and tell her to hold her head back and i put the napkin and pinch softly the bridge of her nose and i tell her to wait a minute or two she says ok and we wait two minutes and soon enough the bleeding stopped but she looked pale .

Once the bleeding stopped she said she had to go , i asked her to wait and i would walk her home but she said no and left.

Bella Pov:

I felt wetness sliding down from my nose so i knew i was bleeding my head was hurting , I tried to wipe the blood away before Nicolai can notice but i was too late , he didn't freak out which I'm grateful for he went grabbed napkins and help me stop the bleeding.

Once it stopped I started feeling weak so i said i had to go Nicolai being him wanted to walk me home but I declined his offer and left .

On my way home I kept thinking , at some point Nicolai will find out and he will change how he treats me just like my aunt . I'm sick not helpless , i want to keep to myself but how when at the same time i feel the need to be around Nicolai , what is this feeling im feeling?

Once i get home i head to the kitchen grab a bottle of water and go to my room I honestly just want to sleep , once i lay down i fall asleep.

Iris Pov( bella aunt)

I've been at work all day and haven't had a chance to call bella , I'm finally done with work and on my way home , once i get home i go to bella just to check on her it's about 5:30 pm , i open her door and she's asleep and a bit pale , i check her temperature and she has a slight fever but the doctor said that would happen so i go get her a cold compress and put it on her head and go to my room to shower and change before alex gets home once I'm done showering and getting ready i hear alex walk in i kiss him passionately and ask him how was his day he said it was busy and long . Then he asked how was my day and i told him all about it. It's now 6:30pm and i head to the kitchen to make some dinner for all of us , I'm making sopa de pollo (chicken soup) bella needs it and I'm craving it . While im cooking i hear the doorbell so i tell alex to answer it and he does and i hear Nicolai hey is bella home ?

Alex response she's sleeping right now but we will wake her when the food is done would you like to come in ?

Nicolai response yes please , i walk out the kitchen to say hi to Nicolai he says hi back and i ask him how he's doing he said that he's ok just wanting to see how bella was doing .

I said ok food should be done in 15 minutes would you like to wake bella for me Nicolai ? he says yes and heads to her room , Alex says i would have woken her up so like that she's not startled my Nicolai , i say he won't startle her he likes her .

Nicolai Pov:

I go up the stairs to wake bella for dinner once i walk into her room i see her and get worried she's still a bit pale , i caress her face and coo to her softly bella wake up it's time to eat, she stirs a bit and i see tears running down the side of her face i wipe them away and she starts talking in her sleep Nicolai i wish i could tell you but it's best you don't know , at this point I'm still don't know what and is she dreaming about me ? I caress her cheek again and says shhh it's ok bella come on get up , she starts to open her eyes and jumps up in bed Nicolai is that you she says .

I smile and say yes i came to see how you're doing and Alex told me you was sleeping and asked if i wanted to come inside the house and then since dinner is almost ready you're aunt asked if i wanted to wake you up for dinner and of course i said yes so here i am.

She looks at me puzzled and says what she was thinking out loud " i hope I wasn't talking in my sleep " i smile and tell her not to worry she looks and me and ask did i say that out loud i shake my head yes and she sighs saying sorry I'm just going to freshen up before i go down .

I tell her ill wait for her here so we can go down together and she just nods with a look of exhaustion and inside i know something is wrong but I'll wait till she's ready to tell me what that something is .

2 minutes pass and she comes out so we head downstairs going down she stumbles so grab her and hold her hand while going down she looks up to me when we reach the bottom she says thank you , i smile at her and before i can say a word her aunt comes and tells us to sit down . We sit and iris ask bella how was her day and bella said it was good she spent it with baxter and me and her aunt looks up shocked and asked you went to the station ? And bella nods yes and then iris tells her she needs to speak to her in private and bella sighs and gets up and follows her aunt to the kitchen , I can't hear the entire convo but what i did hear was iris telling bella that she sees that she likes me and that if she wants a relationship with me she has to tell me something,after that alex says hey lets watch tv i says thanks but it's getting late and i work in the morning, he nods and goes into the kitchen and tells bella that I'm about to go home she comes out the kitchen and comes up to me and says i would walk you home but I'm a little tired i smile at her and say it's ok that i will pass by tomorrow , i bend down and kiss her forehead because I'm 6'2 and she's 5ft , while i kiss her forehead she close her eyes and sighs , i caress her cheek and she leans into my hand .

She opens her eyes and tells me that She needs to tell me something but she's not ready yet and i tell her when you are ready i will be here ready to listen and with that i say goodbye and head home .

THE END
