More Than A Maid 32
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 POVThe examinations we've all been waiting for is finally here. The next day, I woke as early as possible; I quickly attended to the domestic chores and also set the meal ready for Mrs Benson. I was so scared of her and I didn't want to step on her nerves. Well, she didn't delay me.Peter greeted her perfunctorily though, then we set to leave for school together. And had it been, we were still going to school one by one; like me before him; how could we have done it now that Mrs Benson is around. The examinations started just in time; as usual, I found it easy to work out. All of a sudden, my mind swiped towards the confused circumstances I am into; I tried to cast away every distraction, as I tried to focus on the papers. Well in no time, I was done. I turned to Peter, Looks like he was done too because he was already gazing at me. I smiled at him; every other facial expression might be misunderstood as an examination malpractice. Few minutes later, w

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 "What nonsense did you just spew out of your mouth mommy??" I yelled at her, not minding the fact that she's my mother. She's been stepping on my nerves ever since she arrived and now this. "You know dear, there isn't an action without a reason" My mom folded her hands. "Reason you say?" I smirked. "Yeah. Monica's family and ours are very close. We share the same business and it's gonna be great if we form a couple, precisely our children ~ to take over the company while we resign when we are at old age" My mom said and I shook my head continuously. "No, no, noo" I said. "I don't know why you take this bad and seriously. Come on darling, it is just a relationship with your childhood friend" My mom stated. "Because we are childhood friends does not mean or make us wanna be together. We are not even teenage friend, talk more of a relationship. That is not gonna be possible mom. And End of story" "Listen, I am not rushing you dear. You do not have t

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 entered my mom's room but right from the entrance step, I began to shoot at her an annoying stare but there she stood, smiling. I know that whenever she smiles like this, she's about to say something I do not like. "Come closer my dear" My mom beckoned onto me. "Say whatever you wanna say, I have better things to do in my room" I responded rudely."Oh dear, don't let there be hate between mother and son" She spoke softly. "Whatever" I hissed. She came closer to me, since I insisted that I wasn't coming to meet her. "You are finally done with your examinations" She said but I didn't say anything. "I hope you pass your papers in flying colours, so you would gain admission into one of the best schools overseas, whichever one you want" She said. "Thank you. Is that all you have to say? Can I return to my room now?" I asked and turned to leave. "No, we are not done" She said. I turned to look at her reluctantly. "It's about what we discussed the la

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

I've secretly wept and wept, because Bella broke up with me; I haven't even had the time to proof myself as a boyfriend; we've only began the complicated relationship. Things wasn't going on smoothly for me, my mom has literally ganged up with Monica against me.. leaving me with no choice and frustrated. "I'm sorry Bella, for putting you in this position. Or if I must have offended you, I'm sorry. I haven't been myself these days, I've been emotional and mentally stressed up. Why did you break up with me? You don't like me anymore..give me sometime, I'll fix these issues.." I rushed all the pleading words as soon as she opened up the door for me. "Breaking up with you doesn't mean that I do not like you anymore. Of course I do, I really like you Peter. But..but.. i-i don't think it'll gonna work out for you, apart from the fact that we are just kids

Peter's POV I received several calls from extended family and friends. Delivery men came knocking on my doors, passing presents sent to me because I already told everyone that they don't have to come over here. "This private birthday is just perfect" Bella exclaimed just after we cut the cake. "You think so too?" I asked, shoving a piece of cake into her mouth and she did the same to me. "Yeah, it seemed like both of us are us are left alone in this world" She said. I agree. "You told me to get prepared earlier. For what?" I asked. "Oh that. You are getting a birthday gift from me!" Bella said. "Oh wow. You insisted on getting me a birthday gift even when I told you that you are the best birthday gift ever" He said. "Yeah. You said that. So I'm giving myself to you" She responded. "Huh...what Bella, I ... didn't mean it that way" I stuttered. She bursted into laughter : "I don't mean it that way too.

Bella's POVI'm not a night owl, the last time I stayed awake in the middle of the night was during the examination season. But this time around, I was only busy with my boyfriend and I was planning to have a french kiss with him. I returned to my room. My heart was still beating really fast, I touched my cheeks, I could feel it reddened and hot. I tossed on my bed as I began to recall the whole scenero, I didn't know that it'll make me so nervous. His simple touch, made it look like we were in a romance mood. I kinda love that feeling though. Somehow, I wish we completed what we've started even if it's just the french kiss and intimate cuddle and maybe the romance. I picked up my phone, hissing at it because it ruined that mood. I've forgotten that I was the one who set the alarm. I smirked and unlocked my phone. I noticed that I have a message. Haven opened it, I found out that it was from my mom. ~'Flora is here. Come say Hi to her tomorrow' It reads. Huh

Peter's POV Then I sighted Vincent, standing at the entrance and watching us from there. "Vincent" I muttered. "Where is he?" They all turned to look at him. And then, he started walking towards us. My heart was racing a little, I was afraid that Vincent might ruin this special day maybe that's why he agreed to come here even when we aren't in good terms. "Hi guys" He said to all of us when he came closer. "Hello, Hi Vincent" We responded back. He smiled widely instead.. "Happy birthday in advance Peter" Vincent stretched his hands towards me for an handshake. I hesitated a little before recieving it. He had an handshake with the rest before he took his seat, beside me on my other side. "As... err.. as I was saying before you came in, order whatever you want. All bills are on me" I repeated, signaling the waiter to come over and he did. We ticked the menu lists, gave it to him to go bring our orders. "Did you invite Monica?" Vincent su

Bella and I were preparing for the outing, the time we fixed was in the next an hour. Bella wasn't aware that I ordered a very beautiful outfit for her and we were expecting it that morning. Talk of the devil, we heard a knock on the door and the visitor announced that he was the delivery Man. "Go get it. The order isn't for me. " I gestured to Bella. "I didn't place any order too. Probably your parents" She replied. "No, they didn't" I smiled. "Just go get it" I told her. She looked at me suspiciously as she walked to the door to meet the delivery Man. I came closer to watch the scenero. "Hello, I think you've got the wrong address" Bella said to the delivery Man and I chuckled inaudibly. "No. I'm at the right place. One Miss Bella Daves placed this order" He said. "What

Bella's POV We did not stop kissing until we heard some footsteps coming, probably close to us. He held my hand and gently pulled me to his room. I bit my lips, smiling and blushing. I touched my cheeks as I could feel it hot and red. Peter was smiling widely too. I wanted him to speak first but right now, I was so shy. Then He coughed in an awkward way then finally said something; "I miss you Bella" "Me too. I miss you" I replied. "Well... obviously. We went through alot. So we didn't have time for us" He said,holding my hand and intertwining it with his. "I'm sorry..." I wanted to apologise again but he interrupted me by placing his finger on my lips and I smiled. "I'm sorry about your father's death issue" He said."It's okay. Now I believe that whenever you say everything will be fine, it different will be" I told him. "Exactly" He replied.

Bella's POV "Peter" I called his name after he has taken some steps away. He stopped walking but he didn't say anything. He didn't even turn to look at me. I didn't know where to begin, so I kept mute. He wanted to leave again, so I began to spew out my heart. "Peter I'm sorry. Stop avoiding me and talk to me!" I said and began to cry but he scoffed like he didn't care. "Peter!" I screamed his name. That was when he turned to look at me. "Is it high time we communicate now? No, I don't think so" He smirked. "I'm sorry" I repeated. "Okay. I'm glad your father's killer has been found. It's been making you worried. That's all I have to say to you" He said. "Peter" I muttered, moving closer to him slowly. "What is it Bella?" He asked. "Are you mad at me? Why?" I mumbled. He sighed heavily. "Yes, I am mad at you. I'm super mad at you. First, you totally believed my parents must have killed your father" Peter said. "No - I... " I stam

Monica on the other hand, Speaking of Monica, haven sobbed and sobbed over her broken family, she decided to start a new and better life. She started with apologising to the people she has offended, most especially Mrs Benson. Not only does she wanna apologise, she also wanna stay alone in her own lane. She doesn't wanna associate with anyone thereafter. She took a deep breathe in, let them all out before summoning up the courage to knock on the door. Since she didn't get a response at the first knock, she hesitated to knock again. She wanted to leave, she thought they'll resent her but Bella opened the door just when she turned to leave. "Ah... Hi" She stammered nervously, remembering that she owes Bella an apology too. "Hi" Bella responded sheepishly. "Err.. is everyone at home?" Monica asked as she walked in slowly. She was so scared of meeting The Bensons, she thought of what they might think about her. "I'll go announce to everyone that Mr Withney
