Decided By Fate

You have to ask her

I opened my eyes to see Bella wrapped in my arms. My fever had gone low. I received a call to go and visit her, she was missing me. I tried to speak really low not to disturb Bella. I am so content currently having her in my arms, I could not help but place a kiss on her temple at which she woke up catching me red-handed in the act. I was nervous but did not show it and asked her to stay and she complied. I should tell her about my feelings but how? Bella wanted to leave the bed and wanted me to let her go stating we are just employee and employer, her reply made me sad. But she was correct, I did not express my feelings to her yet. I was afraid to loose her. I let her go, but my mood was spoiled, I should do something for it and anyhow I will get time to think of it.

I left abruptly without informing her that I won't be coming back for three days. I was feeling sad, a bit angry at myself, how will I face her? The days without her were restless, I was doing all the office work from here with Drew handling matters face to face. Bella had called me once, but I wasn't able to take the call and I didn't call her back, I had no answers to her questions, nor did I have the courage to express myself.

I got a call from Japanese Client about their visit. And the board of members suggested a unique theme. I have to discuss this with Drew and Bella both. She was looking at me expectantly for the questions she had in her mind, but she didn't ask. I kept the idea in front of Drew and Bella only to feel uneasiness in her, Drew also reacted differently and told her to take his charge in the office. There's something that I don't know. When I informed Drew about the new involvement he was happy to hear, but Bella questioned me about who the lady was. I smell jealousy. Hah! I should explain it to her, I can't see her upset. But the matter of concern here was why she felt uncomfortable when the theme was discussed.

I asked Drew about it "You have to ask her Brother, it's not my place to tell, now that she likes you and you too" She likes me? "Don't give me that look, as if you don't already know, her abruptness and the questions should have been enough for you to understand, express your feelings to her Liam before it's too late. She should know you love her, she needs assurance, she's really a troubled soul" Drew's words left me thinking just what happened with her?

I had so much work at office. I will be late for Dawn's dinner, I hope Bella didn't leave yet. I went inside the penthouse to see Bella all dressed up to leave, she was looking really cute, how I want to take her in my arms and kiss her badly, specially when she was this close to me having a concerned look on her pretty face. She took away all my tiredness. I told her to wait for 10 mins in which I took a quick shower, changed really fast and went to find her standing in the balcony. She'll get cold. I placed my jacket on her, her fresh smell was intoxicating I wanted to hug her from the back and never let go, but it will have to wait until I confess to her and make her mine forever.

At Dawn's place we saw both the couples showing PDA but Olivia's reply to Bella's aww made me smirk. I wanted to make her sit on my lap at the same instant. But that too for now will have to wait. After the dinner someone came at the door, although it was pretty late for deliveries and no other guests were invited. When Bella took a bit more time to come back I went to look for her just to find her father slapping her really hard. What the hell! I lost my temper, and raised my voice at him stopping him from slapping her again. At which others also came and the scene that unfolded just now got me thinking just What the hell she went through?
