Bella's POV I heard the whole conversation between Peter and his mom. I came out of my room just in time. "Bella!" Peter exclaimed and rushed over to me; he was gonna pull me closer to him; for a hug but I moved away quickly."I... I didn't go anywhere" I muttered.. and he smiled. "My heart almost jumped out" He said. "What?" Mrs Benson cut in sharply and walked over to us. "Your heart almost jumped out?" We stood at an attention and didn't say anything. "What's going on here?" She asked us. I stayed mute; trembling a little as I left Peter to confront his mother and do the talking. "Mom why did you lie to me that you sent Bella away?" Peter asked. "That wasn't a lie, that was a quick smart test and you just proved it to me that there is something between you and her. It's very obvious" She said, folding her hands. "There's nothing between us" Peter denied instantly. "That's right" I supported; disengaging my hand from him 'cos he was still hold

Bella's POVOf course, Monica wouldn't apologised, she only shot me a hard gaze then walked away like we've expected. I knew the rest were wondering why Peter indeed supported me. No, they weren't only wondering why he did that but they were also suspecting that something is wrong; it was pretty obvious but we wouldn't just admit that there's something going on. Few hours later, school dismissed and we hurried home to go prepare for another set of examinations, that will take place two days after and it happens to be the final examination too. which means that there's another break in between. When we got home later that day, we met Mrs Benson with Monica's mother in the living room. Looks like they are really close in terms of friendship matters and business wise. We greeted perfunctorily then emerged to our various rooms. I came out of the room few minutes later, haven changed into muffty, then went into the kitchen to start preparing for dinner. Then I sort of

Peter's POV The final examination approached quickly and soon we were done and free. Free because we only need to wait for our final results then further admissions into the higher institution. I thought this freedom will be a chance for Bella and I to go on a date and have fun but My Mom and Dad were still around and they said they'll only travel back to work after my birthday which was still a week away, seems too far. I have no problem with Dad though he doesn't know I'm in love with the maid but mother on the other hand! Anytime soon, she'll come to me only to raise up the topic that Monica and I should be in a relationship. My phone suddenly rang, jerking me off the complicated thought. Speak of devil, it was Monica; the real devil, herself. I didn't give her a chance to speak to me in school since she wasn't ready to apologise to Bella like I've told her, now she's calling me?¿ I smirked and ignored the ringing phone, which soon stopped but started ringing a

Peter's POV I stood still, refusing to do any of her matchmaking rituals. "You are really not gonna ask her to be your girlfriend?" My mom asked me again. "Never!" I fired. "I'll go first then, let me be the one to ask him to go on a date with me and be my boyfriend" Monica suggested, beaming. "Oh no dear, it's not right for a lady to ask a guy out. It's improper" My mom said and I scoffed. How else was she gonna force me to date her? Does she really thinks I'm a kid, she'll order or threaten to ask her out and I'll do so? No, no. It's never gonna happen. I smirked and gave an annoying smile. My mom smiled too, but she came closer and held my hand, I didn't know what she was up to now.. "Since both of you are here; i'll be the one to bring you two together" She said and drew me closer to Monica. She held Monica's hand too and forcefully intertwined her fingers with me. "What on earth are you doing mommy?" I screamed. Monica on the other hand, seem

Peter's POV "Hi guys" I sighted them from far away, I rubbed my face and tried to brighten up my mood. Then I hurried up to catch up with them. "You were the one who suggested we meet, now you are just coming" Francis said. "Uhn, sorry" I muttered. "So what's wrong? " Vincent asked. "Oh! The impromptu meeting? I suggest we go to the gym, I'm bored of staying at home" I said. "No, I mean what's wrong? You don't seem fine" Vincent scrutinized my look."And did you just say you are bored of staying at home. What about Bella? She isn't around to keep your lonely company?" "No, She's at home" I didn't know why they were asking after her. They must have known that we have something in common; (feelings)"Are you both quarreling?" Vincent asked me. I didn't answer that question. " I see. They are having a lovers quarrel" Francis said. "No, we are not. Forget it guys, I just wanna be away from home. It's not Bella" I told them. "Is it Monica?" Vincent guess
