Chapter Two Standing Before the Devil Again

Bella  was still not yet stable, she kept on thinking about everything that had transpired between her and Jack even though it had been two days ago. Filled with all this thoughts running through her mind she totally forgot about her work not until she was awakened from this thoughts by her colleague. 

"What have you been thinking so deeply about that you have totally forgotten you duty here". The girl called out to her. 

"Oh, am sorry". Bella, who quickly regained her composure, apologized as she quickly moved out to meet the new people seated waiting to make orders. 

Bella quickly went out to attend to the people who were seated. She was about to turn when a cold voice called out her name. She turned only to see the charming face of Jack staring into her eyes,her heart pondered.

"Won't you bring my orders too". Jack said, having a smile on his face. 

"You never made an order". Bella bluntly said, having a firm look on her face. 

"Am not here to place orders, I am here to keep to what I said the last time". Bella's heart skipped harder on hearing his statement, she wasn't expecting to see him.

She quickly ran through her mind for what to say.  "But that was supposed to be in the evening". She quickly said as soon as the idea struck her. 

"Whatever, I changed my mind. Is there anything bad about that? ". Jack said in a very awkward manner. 

Bella gave a silent sigh as she turned to leave. She was not ready to continue the conversation of the previous day. She still finds it hard to get over it let alone to begin another one, she felt she might give up if she gave in for another discussion.

"What was that guy asking you". Her colleague quickly chipped in as she went back to the inner room. 

"And how is that your business". She said sharply, throwing a fierce look at her. 

Bella was so surprised when she saw Jack back at the restaurant exactly at six. She was beginning to have a weird feeling about him,but she felt she would overcome it within time. 

"Why are you staring at me?You know exactly why I am here, don't you?". Jack said, having a smile wrapped around his face. 

"What can I serve you". Bella asked nearly in a haste. 

"Don't act like I'm new to you. You know why I am here so don't try being dramatic". Jack said as he advanced towards where she was standing. He held her hand which she quickly released from his grip.

"Why can't you just stop tormenting me". She said nearly frozen out in fear, as she kept staring at Jack who had an unknown smile wrapped in his face. 

"Am I the one tormenting someone here, you are! You have refused to let my urge rest and that's why I'm here". Jack said wildly, trying to put on a serious face. 

Bella only stared at him without making any word or movement. She only kept on thinking about how she was the one tormenting him while he was the one who had not let her be. 

"So what do you want from me?". She bluntly asked.

"I want you and nothing more". Jack said with a smile wrapped around his face.

Bella was not a fool either, she clearly understood what Jack had just said but pretended not to have heard a word. How can someone who she just met some few days back be demanding such a thing like that from her, She wondered.

They stood for some seconds staring at each other till Jack finally cleared the silence. "Are you giving in or not?". He said having a sharpness in his voice.

"What! No". Bella shouted surprisingly immediately as Jack completed his words.  

"You can't refuse my offer". Jack said as he held her hand tightly. "Follow me". He commanded her as he drew her outside. 

"Now listen to me. You do not have any right to say no to anything I say, understood". He yelled at her releasing his grip angrily. 

Bella's heart skipped harder, her fears increasing terribly. "You are a monster". She managed to shout back. 

"I don't care". He reluctantly said.

"You are going home with me". Jack replied as he moved closer to her. 

"I don't have feelings for you, so do not let any grow in you for either ensue I would hurt them". He whispered in ear. 

Bella's heart pondered heavily on hearing what Jack said. Did he just say that to scare me, Bella thought. 

"I can never grow feelings for a monster like you". She yelled as she turned to leave but was prevented by Jack who held her and drew her close to himself.

"Don't try being dramatic, I can see you got some for me only staring at you eyes so don't try deceiving yourself". He said with a grin on his face.

"I think we quarrel a lot, why don't we get to know each other better". He added after some seconds of silence. 

"That's not necessary". She replied just immediately as he finished.

"He doesn't have feelings for me but wants to know me? How weird he is". Bella said within her. 

"I think I've bothered you enough, you have duties to attend to. We will meet later". He said softly as he freed his grip.

Bella stood transfixed, we're exactly where they are going to meet. 

"In my room". Jack added immediately as he suspected her thoughts.

Bella was about to say a word but kept quiet. Her fears were increasing, she just wished she had never met Jack.

"Am here waiting". He said as Bella went in. 

Bella saw Jack when she was about to leave but pretended like she did knew he was there. She increased her pace to avoid being caught by him but unfortunately he still got to where she was. 

"I've told you not to be dramatic, now let's go. Get into the car". Jack said immediately as he held her hand. 

Bella just got to agree to the fax  that she had nothing else to do rather than to just obey. She gently opened the back door. 

"Why the back seat when there is a space at the front". Jack said as Bella was about to enter the back seat of the car.

The wheels of the car started kissing the tare road as soon as Bella had stepped in.
