More Than A Maid

Peter’s POV

I received several calls from extended family and friends. Delivery men came knocking on my doors, passing presents sent to me because I already told everyone that they don’t have to come over here.

“This private birthday is just perfect” Bella exclaimed just after we cut the cake.

“You think so too?” I asked, shoving a piece of cake into her mouth and she did the same to me.

“Yeah, it seemed like both of us are us are left alone in this world” She said. I agree.

“You told me to get prepared earlier. For what?” I asked.

“Oh that. You are getting a birthday gift from me!” Bella said.

“Oh wow. You insisted on getting me a birthday gift even when I told you that you are the birthday gift ever” He said.

“Yeah. You said that. So I’m giving myself to you” She responded.

“Huh… what Bella, I … didn’t mean it that way” I stuttered.

She bursted into laughter : “I don’t mean it that way too. You little boy with a naughty mindset!” She said.

“You are the one with the naughty mindset! How do you know what I thought of. And I only thought of that because you’ve been acting weird and just yesterday, you told me you do read erotic books” I reminded her and she frowned a little.

“Only because I wanted to spice up our relationship by being a very romantic girlfriend but now, you are using my words against me and you are making me look like I’m a bad girl” She said, folding her hands and looking away.

“Yes! You are a bad girl and I’m a good guy. In our case, a bad girl is in love with a good guy. It’s not good girls like bad guys!” I stated and she laughed.

“Whatever!” She hissed.

“So what gift are you giving me?” I asked again

“Oh! So, Shut your eyes! ” She ordered and I obeyed immediately.

I was anxious to know what she got for me even after I’ve told her not to get anything.

I shut my eyes, but my ears were widely opened but all I heard was silence like she wasn’t here anymore.

“Bella” I mentioned her name with my eyes still closed. I got no response.

“Are you there?” I asked again but this time around, I was interrupted with her lips on mine. I opened my eyes immediately but she didn’t stop. Instead, she pressed on further and opened my mouth with her sweet tongue, which went in, reaching for my tongue.

For the first time, we kissed deeply. Then she held on to me very tight.

I let her do whatever she wishes till she was satisfied.

“That was great right?” She asked me, smiling widely.

“Yeah, it.. was. You got the french kiss” I said.

“Cravings satisfied!” She added, wiping my lips gently.

“We can press on further if we.. Uhm… maybe get married and by then, you’ld no longer be a mommy’s boy” She said and I smirked. She was acting like she was older than me.

“So for now, let’s not talk about marriage yet, let’s talk about the examination results which will be out next week, let’s talk about the university we’ll go to” I said.

“Yeah! Let’s begin to prepare and anticipate for a future together!” She added, holding my hand.

“What college do you wanna go to?” I asked her.

“Whatever college you wish to go” She replied instantly.

“I was gonna say the same thing. I wanna attend any college you choose too” I told her.

“That’s great then! Till then!” She said, giving me a high five.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

We do not even feel shy or awkward about what we’ve just done. We felt like it was normal. I could feel it that we were in a relationship and what really matters is that we were so in love.

We ate cake, talked about random stuffs, we laughed, joked and played around like babies. It was indeed a perfect birthday for me!

Soon, her phone suddenly rang.

“Oops! It’s my mom” She said after looking at the screen of her phone. She shushed me and picked up the call.

~ “Hello mommy!” She said into the phone.

Slowly, the smile curve on her lips slowly turns into a straight line.

~ “Oh Okay! I’ll be on my way now” She said and hung up the call.

“Let me guess, your mom told you to come home already!”

“Yeah! I’ve forgotten actually” She replied.

“Your lovely mom and aunt are waiting for you at home. Do not keep them waiting then” I told her then gave her a tight hug.

“See you tomorrow” She said.

“Tomorrow is just perfect. Because henceforth, we’ll be alone and together. Oh! There’s alot of relationship stuffs for us to catch up with. Dates, outings, shoppings!” I told her.

“Oh My God! I just can’t wait” She exclaimed.

We hugged for some minutes again, then she disengaged.

She left my room, I heard her announce to my parents about her departure.

I stayed outside, as I watched her leave the compound with driver Joe.

Bella’s POV

Joe drove me home, then he left after I told him to return tomorrow to come pick up.

My mom and Aunt Flora came out of the house before I could go in to meet them.

“Aunt Bella!” I exclaimed, jumping into her arms then that of my mom.

“Oh My God Bella. You’ve become a lady!”

“I’m a lady” I replied laughing as we entered the house together.

“You both seemed so happy” I observed.

“Yes! Yes! We ought to be especially after successfully solving a mission which is finding who killed your father!” My mom said.

“Apart from that, there’s a good news too” Aunt Flora added.

“What’s the good news?” I was anxious to hear it ‘cos both of them were smiling widely. It seemed like there’s more to being excited because a mission has been accomplished.

“Bella” Aunty Flora came closer to me, she held my both hand and resumed; “You’ve gone through a lot, you worked as a maid!”

“Oh that, that’s fine. That family is so nice and accommodating” I told her.

“No, it’s not fine. It’s all my fault that you struggled to earn a living. But now, I’m here to help you and fix things!” She said.

“Yeah I knew it! You’ll never abandon us!” I hugged her once again.

“So… Uhm, your visa is ready and that of your mom” Aunt Flora told me.

“Huh, what’s Visa is that?” I asked.

“To abroad of course. Where she lives and works. We are gonna live with her there” My mom said.

“Huh… what…” I couldn’t believe my ears. This is so unexpected.

“I wanna make it up to you both this way. I’m sorry for the sudden absence just when you needed me the most. Since the visa is ready, we are leaving very early tomorrow. You don’t need to pick up anything as you’ld get new things over there and start a new life abroad” Aunt Flora added.

“Huh!… Tomorrow? It’s impromptu… what.. what about school?” I asked.

“What school, you have completed your high school” My mom said.

“Then you’ld gain admission into one of the best colleges over there. You don’t have to worry about it” Aunt Flora said.

Still, both of them were smiling, they barely realized that I wasn’t happy about it ‘cos it simply meant that I won’t be going back to the Bensons place. I won’t be seeing Peter anymore.

“Aren’t you happy about it?” My mom asked.

I faked a smile and nodded in affirmation. Afterall, plans have been made, my opinion wouldn’t change anything.

I’m only sad because I didn’t tell Peter about it. Also, My cell phone has been acting funny too, it gives me only the chance to receive incoming calls and messages but I can’t call nor send messages. And Once I travel abroad, I’ld have to change numbers too, which means that I and Peter have literally lost contact and connections.
