A 3D GOD

★★BELLA★★

 "Pls mom I won't vomit anymore, I don't want to eat this-" 

She pushed my head further in the mess, "Eat it, evil child, that looks like her evil mother. Your mother tried to take a place which was never hers, look where it took her! Hmph!" She dusted her foot before leaving, seeing she closed the door, I went to the bathroom to wash my face before cleaning the mess with a rag.

"Mother pls! Don't do this!!" I begged her. This was the day she caught me stealing food from the kitchen, I Would have said taking, but that hoise didn't. I was so hungry that day. I didn't eat anything for a whole day so I stole snacks from the kitchen the moment I had the chance.

    She made me stand on ice from the freezer for something her daughter did, my feet became so cold, the air I breathed out was cold, My blood vessels stiff and I fell on the floor. I could not recall how I've survived all the years, her punishment just seems harsher by the day, And I am learning to be stronger.

 

 I opened my eyes, panting loud. It was these memories that hunted my dreams every time I close my eyes.

 I slept so long and hadn't realized it was already so late, I have to be at the stall early.

Lisa makes me pay rent to her, unknown to my dad, "Even if your father knows, there's nothing he can do, I already have him under my palm Bella, so why complicate your life more?" These were her exact words.

  I did all my work as fast as I could, I was already getting a daily ear full of my lateness at work. And I had a lot of things to meet up with, My cousin still has to settle her tuition fees, I'm not done arranging the money for that and this month bills have to be settle or Lisa would cut my head off.

   "Good morning  Madam Serena, good morning Zio". I  work at this Italian restaurant, my work is to deliver take-outs. I passed the kitchen to the back of the shop, Bruno was there repairing the scooter.

  "Ah Bella, you're here?" He said with a wide smile. He forced the scooter to start running, pulling it along with himself, 'he had a lot of strength' I grinned. The smoke from it filled the air. "How do you ride this? You've destroyed it Totally Bella." Bruno asked, still checking around it, 

"I've made it still useful for now, use it slowly, don't run too much, you know These things don't have lots of speed." He advised and I nod but didn't accept. What's the fun without speed? And all those hungry customers give an ear-full even if I'm a minute late.

  Bruno is the second son of Madam Serena, he's a nice guy, Tall, A cool tanned colored skin, Short black hair which he Never combs, and tattoos all over his chest like he was In a gang before now, and I think he's over thirty-eight this year.

   He was married with two kids but his wife died in a car accident after they arrived from Italy. When I first arrived here, he was been exceptionally nice to me, which I accepted until he said he had feelings for me and wants to get married to me but I don't want that! I'm only just twenty-one, plus I don't believe there's love In marriage. Look at my family!

   "Bella?"

      "Hmmn?" I answered, knowing what he wants to say, it never gets old to him, "Can you still consider my proposer? I promise you, I like you and I think you'll make a great mom for my kids..."

"Bella...?!" Madam Serena called me from inside, here's my chance to go away from him, 

"OK Bruno, I'll have to answer madam, we can talk when I get back."

"Madam!" I went inside to meet her.

 "I'll give you the address you'll have to deliver all this food." She wrapped the food with name tags on them.

 "Bella, don't make another mistake today. First, you'll give this one to mister strong worths. Mr grand and this one would be the last. This is a new address." She demeaned her eyes will looking at it "one mister Richard." She read carefully,  "Take the address of mister Richard." She handed me a written note,

"You're familiar with the rest two right?"

 "Uh...huh!" I carried the wrapped food to the scooter tank. "Bye Bruno!" I said to him and started The engines. 

Thank God, it worked. I wore my pink helmet and belt it firmly before leaving.

   I went to deliver the food, one by one until it was the last address. I looked at the address of mister Richards. He lives in my neighborhood. 

 I drove in the gate, took off my helmet, and covered my head with my big hooded sweater. As I said, I look hideous, he may feel disgusted to eat his food after seeing my face, that I can bet.

   I knocked on the door twice, after arranging my cap. The house owner opened the door,

  

  "Good morn..." Wow, he looks so handsome! I thought, lost far away in my head, He looks like a dreamy figure from 3D games. His hair was scattered on his head, his blue eye peering at me, his skin was white as the snow, I think...

  "U hmm... Who are you?" He asked.

  "Ahem... Home" I cleared my throat before speaking "You ordered take out From yanky bars right?"

  He didn't reply. "Here, have it." I gave it to him and bowed as a sign of greetings to the customer, while raising my head, I hit his chin with my head and he bit his lips, 

        "Sorry sir, sorry sir..." I apologized. His lips were bleeding.

 "Why did you cover your face like you want to attend a satanic meeting?" He asked. Satanic?! His mind went too far...!

    I rushed from his door back to the scooter. I should leave here quickly I look like a fool.

  I tried it, it didn't work "damnn! This stupid scooter!" I kicked it hard and it fell to the floor, its a punishment from the scooter, for driving too hard,

"Ouch! I hurt my feet."

   I tried starting it again, and this time, with so much force, it didn't start. How does this trash expect me to run away with it not starting?

 The scooter is so light. I lift it from the floor. It was giving me a headache.

  The 3D handsome God came to the scooter. I pulled back, thinking he was having other intentions,  there's something about him that makes me want to melt, even though he was an older guy, I kept on drooling, never had this happen to me, 

  He squatted down and joined two wires together and switched it on, it worked!. I look around if anyone was watching me, especially Kelly. She will tell Lisa to kill me.

      "Thank... Tank-gou..." I misspoke, "sorry sir, I meant to thank you" I entered the scooter, running away as fast as I could.

  I stopped by the side of the road, looked at the mirror. My face was all red. I looked at the visible freckles on my face. No boy would want a girl who looks like a fourteen years old child in the early puberty stage, 

       I remembered my helmet fell on the floor when I kicked the bike,  oh God, I don't want to go back to that place.

I sat on the scooter, deliberating if I should go back or not? I love my helmet, it's my favorite color 'pink'.

  

 wait, what is it I see? I looked carefully at the mirror. my head is swollen and I look more hideous. 

I drove back to The stall, I should leave the helmet, maybe another time I would pick it up.

   Bruno was cleaning the cabinet "ah... Bella you're back?" he walked over to where I was standing. "what happened to your head? it's swollen."

 "it's a minor swell Bruno, it would be OK."

  He still rushed inside to get the first aid kit. "come sit here Bella. I've told you, Bella, you're a girl. don't accommodate injuries, it's would make you look unkempt and-" he passed

        "Bruno, you don't have to worry."
