More Than A Maid

Bella’s POV

We did not stop kissing until we heard some footsteps coming, probably close to us.

He held my hand and gently pulled me to his room.

I bit my lips, smiling and blushing. I touched my cheeks as I could feel it hot and red. Peter was smiling widely too.

I wanted him to speak first but right now, I was so shy.

Then He coughed in an awkward way then finally said something; “I miss you Bella”

“Me too. I miss you” I replied.

“Well… obviously. We went through alot. So we didn’t have time for us” He said, holding my hand and intertwining it with his.

“I’m sorry…” I wanted to apologise again but he interrupted me by placing his finger on my lips and I smiled.

“I’m sorry about your father’s death issue” He said.

“It’s okay. Now I believe that whenever you say everything will be fine, it different will be” I told him.

“Exactly” He replied. “I have alot to say to you. It’s been piled up in my mind”

“Spew it out. Talk to me every now and then and never will I ever tell you not to speak to me” I said and he smiled.

“Will you be my girlfriend again? I promise to be a loving boyfriend and this time, it will be the sweetest relationship” He proposed and I blushed secretly.

“I also wanna be your sweetest girlfriend but..” I paused.

“But what? What is it Bella? My mom, she has approved it. My parents likes you Bella. Or is it.. what you said earlier, you are worried about what will happen to as at the very end?” He guessed right

“Yeah” I nodded in affirmation.

“We’ll be together the very end, just believe. Listen Bella, let’s not worry about it yet and when that time comes, we will. For now, let’s just be happy in love” He said and kissed our intertwined hands.

“I love you Peter” I said that first.

“I love you too Bella” He replied and hugged me warmly.

“So next two days is your birthday. How is the preparation?” I asked him when we disengaged.

“Actually, there’s no preparation”

“What?? You told me that you usually celebrate each birthday year elaborately” I reminded him.

“Yeah, I did said that but.. I don’t want this year to be like that. I don’t want a party. I just wanna stay at home, celebrate my birthday with my family and with you” He said and I smiled.

“That’s not bad as well” I replied.

“Yeah right. Jeez I need to tell my friends about it. They are expecting a party as usual. I guess I’ld have to make it up to them tomorrow” He said.

“Tomorrow?”

“Yeah. Let’s all come together tomorrow. It’s been a while I saw them. So, tomorrow I’m inviting them and we’ll go somewhere to have fun”

“That would be so so great. I’m gonna invite Francisca” I bursted.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I was gonna tell you to do that” He answered.

“I’ve missed her.” I remarked.

“I know right. Anyways, the outing will hold tomorrow as a compensation for not wanting to invite them to my private small birthday” He said.

“I understand” I smiled.

“Do you want me to invite Monica?” He suddenly asked me.

I looked at me, shocked.. ” Sure, I’m not mad at her… anymore”

“I thought you may not be comfortable seeing her around”

“Well, I wasn’t but it’s okay now. Her father did it, not her. I could see it in her contenant that she’s so down” I told him.

“That’s right. She had also said it herself, her family is broken, she isn’t okay, she went to see a therapist. Tsk! We really have to invite her because she need people around her” Peter said.

“I agree.”

“Mind you, I think she’s over me now” Peter added and I chuckled.

Later that evening, Peter sent her a message to his friends and he got their responses almost immediately like they’ve been waiting for me to do so. Monica on the other hand, only said that she was not sure if she’ld be able to make it to the Peter’s ‘Come Together’ the next day.

I also contacted Francisca, who seemed super happy. We were gonna meet again! and not we are not just meeting but we are going on an outing under Peter’s sponser.

Haven had dinner that evening, I didn’t most of the evening in Peter’s room, we were talking and laughing. We were happy! Indeed we’ve had alot to say to eachother.

Mr and Mrs Benson must have noticed there was something between Peter and I again. It was pretty obvious, and that night, our voices filled the air.

We planned our first official date, we were gonna fix a date, probably when his parents have gone back on their business trips, although they have approved our relationship. I feel like their absence will make it more fun and romantic for us.

We also discussed about alot of things we’ve always wanted to do together.

This time, it feels like we’re really in a relationship and so in love.

I didn’t even know when I dozed off in his arms! That was how I slept in his room but then, I woke up very early the next morning, hurried back to my room before his parents will get the wrong idea in their heads when the day breaks!
