Chapter One hundred and thirty-six

Bella had decided to do away with everything about him and try loving Jonathan for a change, who knows probably she would fall in love with him. She just needed the morale to get over that brute of a man. For days, she found herself wondering what she had done to him to be treated in such a manner but found nothing. Probably it was because she was not his class or something. For nights, she would find herself dreaming weird dreams that would eventually cause her to wake up and begin thinking. Asking herself everyday questions on what she must have done to make him treat her that way. She had remained rather faithful and loyal to him and deep in her heart she only wished that this was just a bad dream which she would wake up from and see him smiling down at her. Her father had not noticed her sullen mood and from time to time, he would check on her to make sure she was alright and not doing anything stupid. Bella was actually getting tired of the pity and decided it was high time she saddled up and faced the world squarely. 

As she layed on her bed this morning, she began thinking about ways and things to do that would keep her busy and from thinking anything about him. Things she would be doing with Jonathan. They needed to get enough outings after work together and probably go to the beach every now and then. She rubbed her belly and prayed her children did not turn out to be the their father as she was more than prepared to disown anyone whom misbehaves. It would however be great if they were both girls, this way, she was going to be comfortable. She had refused checking on the sex of her children even though she wanted to. Her reasons were so she did not discover their sex and kill herself over it. She was deep in thought when her close made a beep for 7am. She was getting late for crying out loud. She rose up quickly and dashed off to the bathroom without thinking twice. She found her toothbrush and began tidying up. Her worry would be probably that people would say she was using her privileges from Jonathan. Although, she knew he cared less about what the world thinks, but then, she did care.  

Clarkson had been observing his daughter closely for the past few days since Jonathan brought her home and noticed how sullen she was. He had asked the guy and even him too was confused and only speculated that she might have called her ex. He had heard that the guy lost his memories from his sources and wad not sure whether or not to tell his daughter. He was rather worried that she might not be able to handle the news of his accident and her being forgotten at the same time. These days, all she did was worry over nothingness and look sad. He was becoming rather impatient with this Jay guy as he wondered why on earth he would be having difficulty remembering for four months now. It was time he switched sides and gave this Jonathan guy whom had nothing but love for his daughter a chance. A chance to make Bella happy. 

He thought of how the guy had taken it upon himself to worry about Bella and how he would continuously come to check on her. Pick her up to and from work. There was nothing hiding his intentions already. But then, he was a man and as well as her father. Where as he had seen love in Jonathan's eyes, he had seen something else in Jay's eyes. In Jay's eyes, he had seen deep desire and want, almost like he could not live without Bella. The guy was obviously crazy about her and that was what a man needed to hang on to. Just love was not enough. 

Jonathan had just arrived and headed to the house. Clarkson snapped out of his stream of thoughts and welcomed him. The guy sure did look rather nice and befitting of his princess but then, not as nice as that other man. He would always supersede Jonathan in Clarkson's eyes in almost anything and everything. He offered a seat to the lovestruck man and called out to Bella that her ride was there. He was about going up when he heard her coming out of her room, that was his baby and this morning, she was putting up an effort to smile.
