He hasn’t seen or spoken to her since the fashion show he’s been avoiding her and knows he has to speak to her one way or the other.”Put her through.”A few seconds later he heard Bella’s voice on the line.
“Nico. What’s going on with you these days?”She asked.”You not calling anymore and when I do call then you refuse to talk to me. I’m surprised you took my call now. Talk to me brother what’s happening you used to tell me everything. Are you okay? What changed?”
He gave a sigh and rubbed his forehead with two fingers. She was right and he can hear the concern in her voice but what can he tell her that an unknown female whom he barely knows has him this worked up. No he can’t do that.
“I’m fine querida…”He murmured.”Is everything okay. Do you need my help with some of the wedding arrangements.”
He leaned back in his chair.
“Don’t try to avoid the topic. Ever since you ditched me at the fashion show you’ve been acting distant and don’t you dare lie to me. I know you.”
“You’ll be getting married in a months time you need to concentrate on yourself stop worrying about me or you’ll get wrinkles and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.”He joked.
He heard a long pause before she said something.”Nico….”
“Where is Santiago?”He asked instead to draw attention away from himself.
“Work. We are meeting up later for lunch, why don’t you join us.”
“I can’t Bella maybe next time. I’ve got work to do.”
“Sure you do.”She told him. Isabella I’m sorry for the delay your housekeeper let me in. We can continue when you are done.
He heard a woman’s voice say in the background. What caught his attention was her voice it sounded familiar. He quickly sat upright.
“Who was that?”He asked his sister.
“Miss Cruise. She’s designing my dress remember.”
“Oh. The one you gave more time off because of a death in the family.”
“How did you know that.”She sounded surprise.
“Just because I’m not there doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on.”He reminded her.”I’ll always know what’s happening in your life.”
“That will change once you gonna find that one woman who’s gonna get under your skin. I’ve gotta go now and sort out what ever is bothering you. And I love you.”
“I love you more.”He said before hanging up. For a split second there he had thought it was her voice that he had heard, but that was insane what would she be doing there she hardly knows anything about him. He’d kept his identity hidden from her, because once women hear who he is they make sure to stick around and become clingy and that isn’t what he wanted. He hopes to find her soon cause what ever they had started three weeks ago haunts him day in and day out, he doesn’t sleep anymore because every time he closes his eyes he sees her in front of him… naked. It was driving him nuts. He doesn’t even want to be near other woman they turn him off, all the ones he had on standby didn’t do the trick in making him forget her, half way through dinner he would get up and leave. They just bore him and they aren’t her the one he is in search of. Just thinking about her makes him grow hard, no wonder he’s snapping and biting everyone’s heads off now and again he’s sexually frustrated and the one woman who can make all of this go away is no where to be found.
Reina sat down on the lounger that is in Bella’s bedroom. Her bedroom alone is four times the size as her tiny apartment, she had been here before and the house is absolutely beautiful in and out in her bathroom is marble tiles as well as stones that goes along perfectly her bathroom is white throughout. Her bedroom is painted cream white with floor to ceiling windows surrounding it and a balcony too. She had been blown away by the size of the house when she had first arrived it even has an inside elevator for them to get around. The house has seven bedrooms, eight full baths and five partial baths.
“No problem. I was on the phone with my brother, did you manage to get done what ever you needed to do.”Bella asked her.
“Partially.”She answered. She had gone to the hotel where she had spent her night with her mystery man, but when she got there the reception lady didn’t want to give out any information about their guests it is company policy. She had also refused to leave her number or any message, she needed to see him in person. Out of no where she felt nauseous and dashed for Bella’s bathroom, a few minutes later she emerged feeling a bit better she’s still getting used to this morning sickness and it comes and goes.
“Are you okay.”Bella wanted to know. She nodded her head.
“Here drink this.”She shoved a glass of water in Reina’s hand.”This is the second time this has happened with you being here. What’s wrong one would swear that you’re pregnant?”Reina choked on the water that she was drinking. Bella’s eyes grew wide as saucers.”Oh my god. You are? Aren’t you.”
There was no point in denying it Bella has been nothing but good to her and she had thought at first that she would be bitchy and picky and rude towards her. But so far she’s been nothing but supportive giving her time off telling her to ask if she ever needed anything the least she can do is be honest with her.”You can talk to me about anything. You know that right.”She grabbed Reina’s hand and squeezed it.
“You right I am pregnant.”She surprised Reina by hugging her.
“That’s good news, you must be so happy.”She looked more happier than Reina was and they barely know each other.”I’m sure you and the dad must be so glad.”Bella saw her face change.”What’s wrong isn’t the baby’s father happy about it.”
“He doesn’t know.”
“What? You haven’t told him yet.”
“It’s more complicated than that.”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it.”
