EPISODE 11

Bella point_of_view

"Who the hell is James?" I asked pretending not to know him. "No one" Roxanne replied also playing along.

"Hey the both of you should keep quiet and eat. James have your seat" aunt Bethany said pointing to the fourth seat. "Oh he is even the friend." Roxanne said "how can he even eat here? He is not welcome" I said "will you two keep quiet and eat?" she asked more like a command

After few minutes

We were done eating and I told aunt that I'll like to do the dish alone so as to avoid talking to James. I walked to the kitchen and started doing the dish. I don't know why I don't feel like James will leave me even when he is going to.

Suddenly, I felt two hands on my waist. Very familiar touch. The hands were pressing my waist in a sweet manner and I could not think any further. "I'm sorry" was what the owner of hands said and the person's lip started tracing my collarbone from behind down to my chest. I turned unknowingly so that the person can have access to my body. The lips went up to my neck again biting it and leaving hickeys then the lips moved to my own lips. That was when I realized what was really going on. It was James. I pushed him away immediately and continued doing the dish. "Bella" I heard him call out from where he fell. I turned and saw him still laying on the floor. I ran to him as he was struggling to get up "James why can't you stand up?" I asked helping him sit on the floor resting his back on the wall. I knelt down to look at his face. "Babe I love you. Why can't you believe me?" He said looking into my eyes. I looked shyly away "I think you are not feeling too well. Would you mind resting in the guest room here till evening before you prepare to travel?" I asked stressing the travel. He signed and said he wouldn't mind resting in the guest room.

I told aunt and Roxanne that James needed to rest. They helped him up to the room since I refused to touch him.

James POV

I felt weak as Bella pushed me to the wall. I called her name out and she ran to me worried. She asked if I'll like to rest in the guest room and I accepted. She refused touching me so Roxanne and her aunt helped me to the room. I laid on the bed and they were about to leave when I dragged Bella to stay with me. She was reluctant at first but later accepted. Roxanne and her aunt had left us alone.

"Babe" I called Bella who seem to be thinking about something. She jolted out of her thought and looked at me "what happened?" She asked.

"I can't sleep" I told her. "I don't think it's my business." she said looking away. "Babe I'm not feeling too well" "I don't care" "I know you are angry I'm leaving but I have to. Many people are depending on me to survive. Many people are hoping on me to take over from my dad." I sighed and looked at the hickey I gave her earlier and smiled"I can't disappoint them" She noticed I was smiling looking at her neck "why are you smiling?" She asked covering her neck with her hands "How about I give you more?" I said smiling mischievously. "I thought you said you wanted to sleep" she said pushing me under the duvet forcefully. "Babe i want to sleep in your arms" I said very slowly "You are not allowed" she replied "But i want to" "I don't think your opinion is needed. I own my body so I'll decide who can sleep in my hands" she said finally stucking me in the duvet. "Babe why are you suddenly wicked? I have explained why I have to leave" i said coming out of the duvet. She became silent for few seconds and I continued talking. "Babe I love you. My dad fell sick last week and he is still recuperating from the illness. The president seat at the company is vacant for a week now so the executives decided that I have to fill up the space as the heir. Babe I have no choice. You can come with me if you wish"

"It's fine" I was so happy hearing her say that, "really you are the best" I hugged her from behind "but I can't follow you" she said facing me "no problem babe. I'll make sure to see you often. As soon as I get there, I'll het busier that I used to be babe. Please understand that it's not intentional and be considerate sweetheart " I said showing her a pitiful look "it's fine" she said laughing and dragging me to hug me. "It would have been better if I can sleep in your arms every night after a busy day at the company" he said closing his eyes and slept off "I wish I can follow you too but I can't. I love you please don't follow girls when you get there" she said stucking me in bed properly.

"I love you too" I whispered when I noticed she closed the door.

Roxanne POV

I knew this time I can't escape her questions anymore.

Aunt Bethany cleared her throat as she sat down facing me which meant I should start talking. I breathed in and out and said " Aunt it's not what you think. We got disqualified because the girl who think is the heiress is the host's lover so he had to take sides with her. Nothing more. The news you saw was not correct. Let's forget about it after all you are still going to punish me" I said walking to my room almost crying as I remembered Chris.
