Chapter Twenty Four

Bella's POV

His words made my tummy tickle and just fill with a lot of butterflies buttering around. I just felt like I was gonna melt away. He was such a prince charming with a heart. Unlike that demon I left back at home. He needed lessons on how to be a real man.

Had I ever been happier in my life!

"Us?" I asked with a smile, my hand still in his and his eyes still on me.

"Yeah," he replied with a nod and a sincere smile.

"So, what about us?" I asked as I suddenly felt like I was gonna pee on the spot. My legs itched and men, I was pressed.

"I love you, Mercedes. I'm sure you know that." His eyes were pale like I disappointed him in the past or something.

"I..." I started but paused.

O My God its gonna be so weird saying this, but I have to say it anyway.

"I love you too." I replied and he held my other hand, with these eyes that pierced into mine.

"Then what's the problem?" He asked as total sadness over took his eyes. I feel like i'm doing something really wrong, but in a good right way. I don't know.

"What's the problem?" I asked back, puzzled out.

"Why can't we leave yet?"

What? Leave? Was she gonna elope with this angel? Such a naughty girl! Why would someone want to leave all these behind? There's too much of a past that's gonna be left behind.

"Leave? Why?" I asked, not having anything else to say, but kept thinking of his last statement.

He sighed and bent his head,letting go of my hands. "Come on, let's go to a quiet place." He suggested and grabbed me as we pushed our way through the crowd, booming music and contaminated atmosphere. It was a relief getting out of there.

We got into his car. I put my seatbelt on and we just sat there, quiet in the dark.

"So - - " I started, hoping this wouldn't last long and wouldn't result to something in a bedroom.

"Talk to me." He said in a sad grimace. "Just say its something!" His eyes pleaded, craving for my words.

Words I wasn't sure I had, words I couldn't say aloud. Words I knew nothing about.

I was lost. My mouth sank to an unknown depth and I had no idea that to say. I just stared at my hands as shivers raced down my spine, fear engulfed me and his voice kept a tickle running all over my body. My system couldn't take it. I was bound to wet myself.

"I don't know what to." I finally replied with a sense of guilt. Who wouldn't feel guilty?

"Let's go. Elope with me. There's not much to lose." He pleaded.

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? He is a better version of a clown.

There isn't much to lose? Look at yourself. You are loaded for at least fifteen generations to come and you say there isn't much to lose? The money,cars and everything!

I think he had too much alcohol to take in. This guy's definitely drunk!

"My family - I can't leave them." I opposed, trying to make him see reasons and just let me stay back without hurting his feelings or ruining the relationship.

He laughed hysterically and then looked at me again. I gave a puzzled look, totally confused.

"Since when did you care about family? Or are you just pulling my legs?" He furrowed his brows, awaiting a reply.

Wow, Mercedes is just a hater. There's so much I need to learn about her. Especially her relationship with Cameron. I need to know more. Much more.

"But Cameron - "

"I understand." He shrugged and faced his gaze on his Rolex. It was quiet for a while. I just froze there, trying my best to zip me tight and not let a gallon of pee out of my body and come soaking his car.

Did I make him feel bad? Would Mercedes have done something else? Does he hate me now? Would he break up? Please, say something!

"So, see you around?" He mumbled as he looked out his window, obviously avoiding my face.

"Yeah, okay. I guess." I smiled and opened the door, coming down.

"Bye." I said trying to get his attention for the last time. At least to get him to say something. Something that would assure me he wasn't going to break up.

He looked up. He smiled slightly, and I nearly blushed. Okay, let me rephrase that. I blushed.

I couldn't stand it.

He came down the car with his smile on his lips. "I missed you." He said as he got down from the car and stared at me with a little smirk that exposed a dimple and made him look hottest.

"Same here." I replied, trying with the last drop of straight faces in my body, to not blush, but it was all in vain due to my already red cheeks and sparkling eyes.

He chuckled and got into the car again, starting it. "I love you." He mouthed as I stepped away, two feet's backward.

He is way too cheesy!

And I like it!

I waved and he drove off. That was a hell of cute. Where the hell did he come from? I must say, Mercedes has got some taste. I mean, take a look at that hottie and compare with the arrogant dude i'm going home to meet. He's so different.

I walked back to the limo and got on it. My smile was still on my lips and I just kept replaying fifteen seconds ago in my head, over and over and over. It just made me chuckle and placed an endless grin on my face.

"Let's go, Lukas." I finally said as I came back to reality.

"Yes,ma'am." He started the car and drove off.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Where the fuck are you coming from?" I heard a yell.

I walked into the room. The lights were turned off and it was totally dark. The parlor still reeked of cigar and alcohol and I was freezing cold. I shrieked at his statement. He startled me.

"A party. Just like I said earlier." I replied with a hiss and tried finding my way up the stairs.

"What's the time?" He asked.

"1am." I replied.

"You're married."

"Soon to be and will not be real."

"Are you trying to get on my last nerves?"

"I am not even trying."

He sighed.

"Who was he?"

"Who was who?"

"You know who. Answer the question."

How the hell did he know about Cameron?

He wouldn't know if he was home! Is he stalking me? Bitch!

"Are you stalking me?"

"You still haven't answered my question."

"He's a friend."

"Friend? And who is gonna believe that?"

"I don't care. Believe it if you want. I don't care, anyway."

"Your boyfriend?"

I laughed loudly.

"Boyfriend? What are you? My dad?" I asked.

"Answer the question."

"I won't. And i'm tired. Please lock the door. I need some rest." I started my way upstairs, turned on the chandelier that hung in the ceiling for the stairs.

"Come back here!" He yelled.

"Good night." I replied and walked upstairs.

"Mercedes!" He raged.

"Oh, shut up!" I yelled back, getting tired of his narcissistic self centered corky behaviour.

Can't he be more like Cameron?

°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Good morning, ma'am. Your coffee is served and your scheduled to have the wedding rehearsal by 12 today. Your parents rescheduled it to let you rest properly and Sir Caden said to tell you that you're - " She stopped.

"Tell me i'm what?" I asked, turning to her as I jerked fully awake and ripped the duvet off my body.

"You're an ass hole bitch." She said in a stutter, shivering as the tablet danced in her hands.

"And why did you tell me that?" I asked, really angry.

"He threatened to fire me from my job." She replied, shivering.

"And who do you work for?" I yelled, really angry as resentment grew inside me like a tumor.

"You,ma'am."

"And who has the right to fire you?"

She was silent.

"Get out!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry, ma'am."

"I SAID GET OUT!" I yelled again, standing on the bed and pointing to the door.

"I am so sorry ma'am. Please forgive me." She mumbled as she left.

Caden walked in.

"Why yell at her?" He asked with a chuckle as he munched on chips.

"You, get out!" I yelled.

"She just said the simple truth." He smirked.

"I'm gonna kill you!" I yelled and jumped from the bed, headed for him.

He trapped both my hands in his and stared at me. I stared back with so much anger in me.

He let me go.

"Fine. I am sorry. I'm sorry." He apologized, raising his hands up in the air.

"Get out!" I said and opened the door.

He walked out the door with a stare and I slammed it, frustrated.

Argh!!!!
