Am I dreaming? Bella is standing in front of me. “Bella” She’s the new Marketing Head? And she does not want to work just after seeing me? Why? And why the hell is Drew calling her “baby girl”? I lost my temper. I see Bella after days, and now she’s Drew’s baby girl, what will happen to Dawn, Is Drew cheating on her? I told Drew to clarify why he’s calling Bella his baby girl. Disgusting. His answer made all my anger vanish. So he’s the knight in shining armor for my Bella. Emm. Bella’s answer to my next question made me realize, she understands me very well. But if it would have been any other girl, I would have thought the same but it’s Bella, she’s not like this. I have come to understand this after the Island trip. I have to make her stay here. Why? I don’t know myself. I only wanted to be away from her, but seeing her here, I cannot control my emotions now. She left. “You have to make her stay here Drew, please” by his expressions I can say that he’s shocked. “First you have used so many words in a sentence, second I saw you getting angry and jealous” “Go after her first, I’ll explain later” “You will EXPLAIN?” “Yes” “Okay, be back soon”
After consoling her for a while Drew came back “She doesn’t want to stay.” pause “Why” “…” “For the God’s sake, tell me Liam, why do you want her to stay?” “I think I Love her” “Whaaaaatttttt?” I just nodded “When will you confess?” “I won’t” “What do you mean?” “I cannot see her getting hurt, but if she is near me, she will get hurt. Let her go.” “No, she stays” “She has to go Drew” “Earlier also, I would have made her stay, but after hearing this, she stays here Liam and that’s final, no more arguments over this” Yes I changed my mind, I am toxic for her. I cannot let her stay near me. “I am the CEO” “I have hired her, I have control over all the hiring’s, be it CEO or any other person, no one has a say on this Liam” pause “She can bring you back Liam. Just give yourself a chance, for me please. Will you?” “…” “Answer me God Dammit.” “I will think about it” “Going to run off again?” “For a week” “Seriously Liam! Is it really important to run away every time?” “I will be back” “So I will wait for your answer”
I am back in town again. I kept myself engrossed in the office work. Today we have the project launch party at my house. I will get to see Bella. Yes I have started using many words in a sentence after meeting Bella, I am changing, but not sure if it’s for the better. I see Drew and Dawn coming, I rush towards them, hoping to see Bella next. Dawn engulfs me in a hug. “What’s up Big Boy” “Don’t call me that, at least not here” Bella is right, Dawn is really an awesome sister that anyone would want. After coming in relationship with Drew, she has always treated me like her younger brother and I love her that way too. I will be the Godfather for their boy, I cannot wait to hold him up. “You will have to wait at least 5 months more to do that” as if Drew understood what I was thinking and we all three started laughing. “You two, have some kinda telepathy” “That we do!” we both said in unison. From the peripheral vision I see Bella walking towards us. Suddenly Chris comes and holds her WAIST. What is Chris doing here with Bella? “You two took so long” “Dawn, I was getting her ready for the party” Chris said, smirking to which Bella elbowed him “How many rounds” Drew asked “4” Bella answered “Big rounds” Chris interrupted and they all started laughing. What the hell is with what rounds! I am unable to control my anger. “She was pulling my hair like a wild cat, I had to set it so many times. She’s really furious” “…”Just what am I listening too, are they in a relationship? Bella wore a maroon full length backless dress, with minimal makeup as always. “Come here baby girl, you look beautiful” “See I told you” Bella blushed at what Chris said. I think I have lost my chance, why did Drew not stop me, when he already knew about Chris and Bella. “Hey Brother, how are you doing?” Chris said taking me in a brotherly hug, to which I reciprocated, he’s like my younger brother which I never had. “Mr. Feinberg” Bella offered a handshake. With a stern face I nodded, controlling myself.
“Let’s go and dance” Chris took Bella on the dancefloor where the rest of the employees were dancing. Ladies were eyeing Chris from head to toe and same was for Bella, how dare they look at my Bella like that. Chris had his hand over Bella’s exposed back and she was giggling like a girl in his arms. Gripping my fists I started going towards the bar. “Where are you going?” “For a drink” “Will you not go to Isa?” “She’s happy without me” “You should at least ask for a dance!” “Liam, let’s go and dance, Drew doesn’t have time for me” Dawn asked, and I couldn’t refuse. I was trying to avoid Bella at all costs, but seeing her so cozy with Chris is making me jealous and angry. She’s leaning on him, and he’s stroking her head, playing with her hair. Stop It. I want to rip off his hands from my Bella. I was about to leave the dance floor, when it was my turn to change partners, and my partner will be Bella, so I stayed.
“Hey!” “Hey, umm, how was your trip?” “Good” “hmm” “Do you love him?” “Who Chris?” “Yes” “More than you can imagine, we have been like this since kids…” She was going on and on but I couldn’t hear another word. She loved him! “…Now that Chris and Oly are going to marry, I am more than happy, my best friend is marrying my brother” “Wait! What?” “Yes, Chris and Oly are going to marry after Dawn’s delivery” my grip tightened on her and I brought her really close to me. “Are you Okay? Anything wrong?...Liam, Liam are you listening?” “Yeah, sorry, so you and Chris are?” “Twins, hahahaha, everyone says the same. Sometimes I also think we may be long lost siblings.” Then I did the unexpected. I hugged her. “Don’t let anyone else touch you Bella, or I will kill that person or myself. I had to control myself today, from now on I won’t.”
