Chapter 3
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."
★★JAYDEN★★I Stood beside my father's bed as the doctor, who was called over spoke. "Madam," he started, looking directly at my mother who's eyes were teary. "He is paralyzed I'm afraid to say. I think he was poisoned, not in the last two days though, like a slow poison. Although i tried to detect the actual poison used, but it's a smart case, the person was so wise not to let him get to this state in a week or two." He sighed, wiped his face with his hand out of frustration as he was also confused. "I think it's the work of some sort of poison, since he never reacted earlier to this poison, it was impossible detecting it I'm sorry. You'll have to take him to Japan for treatment, some local temple i will direct, this poison is spreading slowly, but destroying more" he continued.I looked at my helpless father on the bed, his mouth is twisted, like one part is toothless, his neck bent to the side, he can only rotate his eyeballs in fear. Look
★★BELLA★★He put his hand around my waist. "Let's dance." I put one hand on his shoulder and held his with the other, climbing on his feet, he gasp a bit with a smile, showing me ‘I'm ok’.The song went louder, He was looking into my eyes, making me feel guilty for some reasons. "Bella,""Hmmn?," I hummed as a reply. "Nothing," he said and smiled again. "I just feel so happy. Is it OK if i kiss you?," he asked again."Here... You mean right here? No. No don't do it," i looked at the crowd around, turns out a lot of people stopped dancing... Just staring at us, his parents and two more couples."let go." I told him, but he didn't. "Bella, we're not done dancing, are you looking are these people?, well don't. They are badlucks. Just don't want us to be happy. And you know-" he was about to say another word when his other woman came over and held his hand, directly removing Mine from his. "You've danced enough," she said.
★★JAYDEN★★While my mother and cousins picked dresses for themselves, i admire the white dress on the couch. Thinking of how good it will be on Bella. My cousin was about to pick it and i winked at the designer with a smile. She started blushing... Still not understanding what i meant. I gave a look at the dress and raised my eye lid and brows, she picked the dress up and asked my cousin to go for another.Still smiling at myself, my mother spoke, "why are you smiling? Want to wear a girl's outfit?" She asked me. They all started laughing. I stood up and went to the porch to wait for that designer girl. Why she walked pass me shyly and awkwardly, she found me following her and speed up in her movement. Still i continued to follow her. "Wait." I ordered. She stopped in her movement."I would like to buy that dress." I smiled awkwardly at her, she must be thinking what and why i want it, like I'm some psycho."How much is it?" I asked her."Three hun
(From now hence on, I will be adding some POV from Braden's side, hope you all won't have a problem with it...❤)★★BRADEN POV:★★ I took another sip of my drink while watching her back view as she walked out of the restaurant just the way I like it, just the way I like her, in her innocence and the most naive way. My only prayers is for her to be mine, our friendship may have not lasted, but I'm so sure will last. This is the first true love I feel i ever have, Jayden just have to surrender for my sake, we're brothers. I sigh in frustration still looking at the door she went through when someone stood in front of me, blocking my views. "I never knew you will be so disgusting someday." Iris said, she was wearing a seductive kind of outfit, tightly around her body. I was about to talk another sip ignoring her, she time a hold on the glass. "Such a man," she uttered with a smile."Braden, let's help each other. You know everything is
★★BELLA★★ I Laid so frustrated on the bed, since the past two days Jayden left, no calls, neither have I heard from him. "Aish...!!!" I used my feet to jam the bed for the 6th time this evening. I think this to the only thing that can keep me sane, with the fact of me been damn frustrated.The door opened with him standing exhausted and leaned his hand on the door knob."I'm back." He smiled. Now's not a good time to vent my anger on him even though I really want to. I turned my face to the other side of the bed to hide my angry face. I could here his footstep as he approach me, I feel the heat from him as he leaned closer and whispered, "why are you not responding?""I'm sleeping Mr, have some respect." I replied then he burst out in laughter, "hahaha, you're asleep and dare to reply? You crazy spot." He tried to rub his palm on my hair but I hold him in mid air. "I told you I'm sleeping, don't you get it?!"
★★BELLA★★ I woke up with my head spinning like a wheel. Jayden is not in the room, I walked out of the room, holding my half buttoned shirt. "Jay? Where at you? Jayden?" I called his name more than once, he did not reply. "Jayden?!" I called again, and still no reply from him, i decided to check the other rooms. Another room was opened half way through, I peeped through the open space, he was arranging his clothes in a bag"Where are you going?" I asked him with the most disappointing voice."Bella, you're awake?" He brought his lips closer to kiss my cheek, I shifted my face away from his reach. "Where at you off to? You haven't answered this question.""I need to go back Bella. I have businesses to take Care of, my company is also there. It can't be without it's CEO for so long!""And me? You're leaving me? Are you that heartless?" He held my shoulder and pulled me down, making me sit on the bed as he spoke. "Bella. soon, w
