Chapter Forty-six

It's been three days and he was not yet back but now, Bella was not feeling his missing presence anymore. She was doing better off now as she had formed a strong bond with the servants. They told her a lot of things even about his ex-wife Stella. She found them to be quite friendly and interesting to chat with. She enjoyed their company so much. Most times when she was not at school or chatting with them, she was at the study reading books. She focused on school and it's boring series of activities and spent more time with Mikey. He was actually friendly unlike the tease he usually had been but that did not mean they did not get to bicker like they always did. Life was going smoothly but most nights, she found herself feeling lonely. She did miss him although she tried to convince herself that she did not. Jay had become a greater part of her and she was aching for him. 

Jay was happy when the doctor said he was good to go although he would be returning for wound cleaning daily. He missed Bella but when he tried to find out about her from Alfredo, the dude gave him the 'do not ask me 'look. The day he was told that her driver took a detour, he freaked out. He was going to take care of the driver, but first he needed to see Bella and feel her warmth. He missed the tentative touch of her immature fingers as she traced invincible lines on his chest and he ached for her. There had been a shoot out with Pablo and his crooks, and it kept him unconscious for a whole day and half. Alfredo was taking care of everything and when he heard that Pablo was still unconscious and badly injured, he was happy. Pablo had proposed a duel and he took the bait but then he prevailed. He was ready to go home that evening. He cleaned up properly then went for a haircut, he was befitting of his princess. It was late when he headed home. As soon as he got inside, he went into her room, she was asleep already but it looked like she had been crying. Her pillow was still went and her cheeks puffy, she was looking pale. He felt bad for being away from her, he had abandoned her. He moved a strand of hair from her face and she stirred. She looked at him like she was not seeing clearly, sitting up she wiped her eyes with the back of her hands. Confirming that he was the one, she quickly hugged him tightly. That's all he craved for, she was crying on his shoulders and then he patted her back muttering 'I'm sorry 'calmly. She was hurt and it was because of him. Suddenly she pulled away from him like she remembered something. She looked fully awake now and aware of her surroundings, she looked at him with anger in her eyes, and moved to the other side of the bed. What just happened, he did not know but her shoulders were shaking. Was she crying again?. 

Jay drew closer to her so he could comfort her but she kept shrugging him off, "Go away ", she said admist sobs and tears. He wanted her and all she wanted was for him to go away. He pulled her up while she struggled, managing to keep her in a sitting position he asked searching her face, "What is it Bella, did you not miss me? ", he was confused, the lady was a puzzle obviously. "You.. you... you... ", she kept on saying hitting his chest. He felt pain but took it all, when he could bear it no longer, he suddenly kissed her, she fought back trying to push him away. But he used his strength and soon his fire caught her and she kissed her back with all the want and desire in the world. She tore open his shirt but stopped abruptly. She saw the bandage on his side by his lower abdomen.
