Peter's POV "We are having big visitors today!" My mom rushed down the stairs, dressed in a simple classy outfit. She almost caught me peeping through Bella's door. I was just coming from there. No, not the other way round, do not misunderstand. I haven't been myself this morning and I don't think Bella has been feeling good about everything or probably because of my mom's arrival. "Big visitors? Who are they?" I asked her. "Chloe's Of course!" Ah! Monica's family. "Hmmn" I didn't say anything. "Actually, only Monica and her mom are coming here. Mr Chloe is caught up with something" Whatever. Wait! Monica is coming here? Damn! Vincent was mad at me yesterday. Now it's time to face Monica squarely and defend myself. "Bella!" My mom yelled and Bella stumbled out of her room immediately,as if she knew my mom was gonna call her. "Ma..'am" She said. "Arrange the canopy, cocktails and some snacks by the swimming pool side" My mom ordered. "
The scene shows Mrs Benson and Mrs Chloe by the pool side, enjoying themselves while chitchatting and laughing. "Did you say, you're taking a midnight flight?" Mrs Chloe asked her. "Yeah, it's not my first time anyways" Peter's Mom said "Oh well, my husband and I will be there tomorrow. Midnight flight is scary..." "I agree but there's a first time for everything you know? and Afterall, things weren't like this not until we were promoted over there. We just need to take risk and try new things" Mrs Benson try to convince her. "Maybe you are right but I am not taking that risk yet" Monica's mom said, chuckling. "Risk; haha" "Oh that aside, remember when Mr Daves said as soon as we were being moved over there, he'll come along with his whole family; instead of travelling here and there" Mrs Benson reminded her. "Err..yeah He's gone now; why do you bring him up?" "That same idea just niggled at me; I'll tell my husband about it.. especially now, that we
Peter's POV I don't know how Monica spent the rest of time alone but as far she doesn't disturb my Bella; it's fine.I know she's already being disturbed after I have admitted to liking Bella. Few hours later, she left even before her mother. Then later in the midnight, my mom left, took the night flight to travel back to her work place just like she had planned. Finally now; it's me and Bella.. *** The next day was a good day to try and get along although it was Monday, a school day. As usual, we woke up very early; she set the breakfast as we got prepared quickly. "Oh! We are getting our mathematics results today" I suddenly remembered and blurted out while we were eating. "Yeah, that's right" Bella responded. "I am nervous, aren't you?" "No, I am not. Instead, I am eager to see a great mark .." "Oh wow.... Optimism" I remarked. "And I guess you are only being nervous because you do not trust me" Bella said. "No.. I mean no, I do trus
Bella's POV I took a deep breathe and checked my script. Behold... What?? I opened my mouth in awe.I mean.. I actually expected this. I didn't fail a single question. It's an hundred percent. I smiled to myself and looked up, only to see the mathematics teacher gazing at me. I bowed my head a little and looked elsewhere. The look on almost everyone's faces wasn't too pleasing, some were. And I guess the teacher looked at me because he knew I scored the highest. The over all mark! I heard someone mouthing my name; It was Peter. He thumbed up and I did the same.. Like the teacher has said, after sharing the scripts, he left the classroom. Now the murmuring started. "What's your score Bella?" Francisca beckoned to me. "Hmmn" I showed her my script and she opened her mouth and I covered it with my hand. "Oh wow, the tutor didn't do well" Monica walked towards us haven seen our reactions. I rolled my eyes and said; "I'll t
Writer's POV"Hi Francis" Francisca walked over to him. He was staring at his script again for the zillion time. "I scored sixty plus, not up to seventy" He told Francisca before she could even ask. "Yeah, I know" Francisca said. "You're not to be blamed because I don't really feel bad" "I know that too, but do you still need my help by the way?" Francisca asked him. He looked up at her and smiled. "I was gonna ask you to be my partner" He said..; "I ... I meant, reading partner" "Yeah, I get. We can do this together Francis"she said She stretched her hands, offering him an handshake, which he received willingly. "We'll start whenever you are ready" Francisca told him. "Okay by me; I'll fix uhm..a date very soon" Francis said. "Okay, now cheer up"Francisca told him and then walked away _-_- Fast forward Peter's POV Just like we planned, Bella continued to be my tutor; not only because I asked her too but a teacher also made that
Bella's POV Examination is at the corner, about few weeks to go. We the students were offered a week break to get prepared and then the following week, but when we return to school; examination begins.. and then we'll go on a long vocation. Which means I'ld have to stay here with home with Peter and become his full time maid. Except if his mother permits me to go visit my mother for some days. But this isn't part of the deal. Peter was in my room that every day; we were reading.. Honestly, we have been busy reading these days; yet still smiling, gisted for a while, staring at ourselves while reading but yet, we were serious. It's obvious that Peter has improved academically too; and I'm so glad that I'm the one behind it. He barely even have the time for his friends; neither do Francis and Vincent... And even Francisca. As it should be, everyone was busy reading... It's our final exams so... Except for Monica though, she do call Peter every now and then.. and there w
Bella's POV. "Okay, Okay. Let's take a break" Peter suddenly announced. We had managed to continue reading even after I agreed to date him. It's our first time; we literally do not know what it means but that's what people who likes themselves does. Dating. The one whom I'm working for is now my boyfriend. Let's see how far this relationship goes ... amidst Peter's rich parents certain disapproval and Monica's trouble. "I was about to say the same thing. Yeah, let's take a break." I smiled at him.. "I'll use the moment to go prepare the dinner" "Wait a minute Bella" He said. And came closer to me, he held my hand and intertwined it with his. My heart raced, and I blushed "Yeah, we could go out of the room together if that's what you want" I told him... "And I could join you in the kitchen, so you won't feel bored." "What?" I exclaimed. So this is what's dating is all about. Lovey dovey and stuffs. "To be honest, I've always wanted to kno
The two young lovers barely had the chance to have fun because of they were focusing more on the preparation for their examinations. Probably when the examination is over or while they are spending the vacation alone; they'll go a proper date and have more time alone to express their feelings. Speaking of examinations, they were gonna return back to school the following day. How time flies. Peter and his friends had already planned to go out that very day for a short exercise to cool down and relax their brains; haven studied excessively. Peter had told Bella to come along with them but she had refused because she felt she wasn't supposed to take any break till the examinations were fully over. In short, she stayed back so she could continue digging her head into books. She's such a bookworm. So she was alone that very day..when.. unexpectedly.. Bella's POV. There was a knock on the door. Since Peter left an hour ago, he should be the one knocking. And I didn't
