Chapter 81 I love you

On reaching home, they found that Bella had already reached and on seeing them, she rushed and scooted Dylan in her arms. She missed him so much. "My baby is so grown up. He even started attending school," she praised him as he flashed her a cute smile.

"Welcome Miss Bella. We are happy to have you here with us," said Graham. "The pleasure is mine. And just Bella is enough," she told him. "Okay Bella. I will be seeing you later," he said before he retired to their room.

"I'm happy you came. How did Ethan allow you to leave?" asked Luna. "He did after much convincing. You have a lot to tell me. I want all details of what happened when you met his family. Let's go to my room," said Bella before she started heading to her room as Luna followed right behind her.

The two friends talked until eight in the evening since they had a lot of things to catch up on. Luna told her all that happened at the Cullen mansion and everything she could remember of. "So how is everything? How is work?" Luna asked her.

"So stressing that I even had to leave my man so that I could concentrate. I really wonder how Ethan and Graham manage to run such big companies. Mine is not even half of theirs' but it's killing me." "I'm sure that with time, you will get used to it. You find it stressing just because you're starting. But the moment you get the required workers and properly strategize then it will become manageable. Don't worry," she encouraged her.

"Yes indeed. I'm thinking of inviting Graham and Ethan for an interview at my agency. Can you imagine how they will boost it!!! But I don't know if our celebrity boyfriend will agree. And BTW did Graham quit the car racing thing for good?" asked Bella.

"I don't know but I wish he did. I don't think I can let him do those things again. I swear I would die." "Okay. I think you should try asking him and see before you watch him on TV in a car racing match," said Bella.

"Don't even mention it. I will talk to him about it," she said.

Later, the four had their dinner together and retired to their rooms. Laying in bed, Luna asked," I wanted to ask something. Are you still thinking about resuming the car racing career?" Thinking for a moment, he asked," You want me to?" "Of course not," she immediately objected. "Okay then. But...."

"But what?"she asked as she sat on the bed.

"The thing is, there's this one coming match that I can't miss. It will be the final one, and I will quit it permanently I promise."

When Luna heard him, her eyes glistened with tears. "How could you do that?" she whispered. "Do what?" he asked. She lost it and yelled," What do you mean by what? You want to go back in that fucking car racing shit!!!!? You nearly died because of it. I nearly lost you. You want me to die? I love you so much. I can't afford to lose you anymore. I love you!!!!!" She said all those in one outburst that she couldn't breathe when she finished talking. Her chest was heaving up and down as she took deep breaths. Graham was perplexed when she finished talking. He had never heard her yelling but that's not what caught his attention.

She said she loves him. He knew she did because he heard read it several times from her diary but it was a whole new thing when she said it. It felt so beautiful that he could do anything and pay any price to hear her say it again. But he had to first calm her down because she was now sobbing. He didn't like seeing her cry because she had cried enough for him, not that she had to in the first place. He embraced her tightly before she burried her face in his chest as he said," I'm sorry. I will never talk about it again. I will quit it permanently. Will you forgive me?"

He felt her nod and softly said," Then stop crying, will you?"

"I-Its.... because...y-you....made me...sad," she said in between her sobs before sniffing. He had really hurt her and it made his heart ache.

"Okay. I'm sorry. But please stop crying. I will do anything you ask," he said and she nodded again. He caught her face as he made her look at him and he saw her eyes that had reddened due to excessive crying. "I'm sorry. Have you forgiven me?" he asked. She nodded as she said," Yes. But promise that you will never speak of it ever again." "I promise. Smile for me now will you?" he said and she gave a small smile. Kissing her forehead, he said," Okay. Let's go to sleep."

With that, they cuddled and finally fell asleep.
