Chapter 10

Noah black

I cemented in my place and turned slowly to see who's dave—. And fuck! He was just a baby kid!

I gulped nervously and bent down on my knees to reach his face, “are you, dave?!”

He nodded his head slowly and said, “yes, and why are you yelling to my elder sister?” He made a puppy face with his lips.

I scratched the back of my neck, awkwardly in embarrassment, and patted his head, “how old are you, kiddo?”

He jerked off my hand away, “don’t call me kiddo! I’m a man! I’m four.” And he raised four fingers to my face.

I coughed and smiled softly to him “oh sure, you are a man but have you sent these texts to Bella? And why? You know she is—. I mean, she can’t read the texts.”

I acted like a jerk and even talked to that kid as if he was a young man in front of me.

He punched my face suddenly by his small grip; I mocked and acted as if I felt some pain “ouch! Calm down. I’m sorry.” I said to him.

And he placed his small hands to his waist, nagging and yelling at me, “no one calls my Isabella by Bella! I text her every night. And I —.”

And then Bella cut off Dave's explanation and continued instead of him, “he keeps sending me texts every night, and then he reads it to me the next morning. And I can tell you what was in this text already. But if you scrolled down the previous messages, you would find it was the same—.”

And that’s when I grabbed her old cell phone from my pocket and scrolled down to see that she wasn’t lying; it was the same message already! Fuck dammit. I cursed myself under my breath.

And then I stood up on my feet, stepping closer from Bella, who was rubbing her arms from the way I gripped her arm roughly. I mumbled softly, “I’m sorry, Bella. But I was jealous, and when you didn’t pick up my calls, I went crazy! Sorry please forgive me.”

She neglected my words and said coldly, “get out now, Noah.”

I coughed again, trying to be more gentle and sincere in my tone, “please, Bella. Forgive me this time.”

But she walked passed me and stood by the door gesturing to me, “move your ass out of my house Noah now.”

I sighed in depression, but I just stormed out of her room— Dave, the small kid, followed me and bawled my name “wait!”

I turned my head again and narrowed my eyes to him, “what is it, kiddo?”

He gritted his teeth, “don’t call me kiddo, or I won’t tell you Isabella's secret.”

I hurriedly went down on my knees to him and smiled while placing my hands to his shoulders “please tell me, and I promise—”

He cut me off, and seriously, he blackmailed me; he smiled, showing his white teeth “no promises, I want you to get me the biggest chocolate ever.”

I didn’t think at all, I agreed instantly and raised my head up to my head “yes, I promise, I will get you what you want. Now please tell me.”

He placed his small hands to my ear and whispered, “she is in love. She has told me.”

I widened my eyes and blinked “with whom?” I growled.

He placed his small finger to his mouth, shushing me “with you. Are you stupid?”

I smiled widely from ear to ear, and from the happiness, I just lifted him up between my arms and twirled in circles “thank you, kiddo, I mean dave. I will get you what you want. But—”

There was another question, but it wasn’t proper to ask that kid about it. I knew that she was a lonely child, so how come she was his elder sister.

That’s when I remembered how awfully and rudely attacked that house. I gently placed the kid down on his feet and rushed downstairs to apologize for Bella's father.

Seriously the man was so understanding, but he looked so annoyed by my attitude. He asked me politely.

“Please have a seat, son.”

I nodded and almost dragged my feet and sat my ass to a chair in the living room facing him “sir, I’m so sorry. I thought she was having an affair with another guy. Sorry again.”

“She's a virgin! You are her first guy ever!” He blurted out all of a sudden.

I raised my head up and fiddled with my fingers nervously, then I exhaled, asking him, “I'm so proud that she is so pure. But I want to ask about dave.”

He stood up and walked to a small bar, then poured a glass of wine to himself and asked me, “do you like white wine or red?”

“red, please,” I replied politely.

He poured a glass of red wine to me then handed me that one and walked closer, sighing as if he didn’t know from where he should start, but finally, he said, “Bella used to play lonely kid, that’s why she kept going to the orphanage and play with the kids as if she was one of them. And Dave was one of those kids. He sooner than expected, got attached to her and became too clingy. He loved her so much. So—”

He paused, and I continued to him, “so she asked both of you to adopt him.”

He smiled proudly of his daughter's manner and a big heart, “yes, and we do love him as our biological kid.”

“I understood, sir.” I nodded my head.

I placed my glass on the table in front of me and excused myself from him because it was already almost too late. But he glued me by his words, “could you please think wisely about your relationship with my daughter? I don’t want her to get hurt. I don’t want to see her tears anymore. She suffered a lot in her life. Please consider my words.”

I glanced off my shoulder to him, drawing a wide smile, “sir, I will marry her sooner than you could expect.”

And then I shut the door behind me, thanking the moon goddess for sending me a precious gift like Bella into my path. And made a vow with myself to make her the happiest princess ever—. No! To make her the happiest queen.

But on the other hand, I wish Bella would forgive me for my terrible mistake and accuse her!
