Heartless Heart

Chapter 37

Bella

"Get some water to Bella," I heard Alex say to the girl that is staring at him. "Yes sir."
I looked at him with a smile. Aw, he did that for me.
She left.
"Thank you," I said. He looked at me. "For what?"
"For telling her."
"Nothing to thank me for," he said as he looked back at his food. He sounded so cold. "Nothing to be rude for," I whispered. He looked at me. "I heard that."
I didn't say something as my eyes widened a bit. He wasn't supposed to hear that. "Here you go ma'am," the lady said to me and gave her the drink. I looked at her. "Thank you," I said as she grabbed it.
She walked away.
I looked at the food. It's meat and potato with brown sauce. "Delicious," I said. We began to eat. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that," I said. He kept looking at his food. "Are you mad?"
"No."
"You sound mad?"
He looked at me. "Bella, I'm not mad."
"Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that," I said. "It was a reason for me to thank you, you didn't have to act coldly back," I said. He looked at me confusingly.
"How did I act cold?"
"You sounded cold," I said. He raised his eyebrows. "No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did."
"No."
"Yes."
"Bella," he said angrily. "Fine, sorry," I whispered as I looked at my food. He sighed. He is probably madder now.
I filled my cup with whiskey and drank it up. Oh, it tastes good. I drank one more. I woke up in bed. What happened? My head is dead. I realized. Shit, I quickly stood up. Oh shit, I drank during my work time. Oh no, I'm probably fired. Oh no. Bella, good job. I walked out of the room. I saw Alex sitting where we sat together earlier.
"Oh, my head is going to explode," I said while walking toward him. "What happened?" I asked him. "You got drunk."
I walked toward him. I sat beside him. What the heck did I think of? I can't drink when I'm working. "I'm sorry I'm not supposed to drink at work, I hope I didn't do something wrong."
He just looked at his iPad. I looked away. Did I do something? I probably did. "You kissed me."
My eyes widened. I quickly looked at him. "What?" I asked shockingly. He looked at me. "You kissed me on my cheek," he said. "Are you serious?"
"Does it look like I'm joking?"
"Oh, god."
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know what I was doing," I said. "I know, so don't worry about it," he said as he looked back at his iPad. I can't believe I freaking kissed him.
"Did I do something else?"
"We don't need to talk about that, Bella."
"I want to know."
He looked at me. "Do you really want to know?"
I nodded. "You sat on my lap, you called me handsome and you called me by my name."
My eyes widened even more. No way. Why the heck did all this happen?
"Mr. Belinskij, I'm so sorry."
He looked back at his iPad. Oh, god. I'm stupid. I looked out the window. I started to massage my head. It's hurting so bad. I saw Alex standing up. I looked down and started to massage my head again.

"Here, take this," he said to me. I looked up at him. He had something for my head and a bottle of water. This man is so gentlemanly. "Thank you," I said with a smile. I took it from him. I put the medicine in my mouth. I drank water. He sat beside me. He looked at me. I looked at him and smiled. He looked at me with a straight face. He looked back at his iPad. "How long is it until we arrive?" I asked. "In seven hours."
Seven? Oh, god.

I took up my phone and started to look at some information about the runway. I looked at the time. The clock is around nine now. I just sat there looking out the window. I looked at him. "What's the first thing we will do when we arrive?"
"Go to the hotel," he said as he looked at me. "And then?"
"I don't know, Bella."
"We should go and explore Italy," I said.
"Sure, if that's what you want."
"Wait, really?"
He nodded. "I'm so excited," I said happily. He smirked.
The plane bumped into the floor. I jumped scared as I grabbed Alex's hand. Oh, god. I didn't realize we arrived. "Are you okay?"
"Yes," I said with a smile.

"Let's go," he said. I let go of his hand. He stood up. I did too. I walked behind him. He took our bags. We walked outside. A car is waiting for us. We got inside the car. It drove away. "Wow, Italy is beautiful," I said while looking out the window. "I will show you more places," he said. I looked at him. I smiled. We arrived at a hotel. It's a huge and beautiful hotel.
We got out of the car.
We walked in. We went to the guest service agent. "Can we get our keys?" Alex asked the lady. "Yes, Mr. Belinskji," the lady said. Wow, everyone knows Alex. "Here you go, sir," she said to Alex and gave him one key. Why only one? "Didn't we order two rooms?" He asked. "No sir, Mr. Armato ordered only one room," she said. Alex sighed. Who is Mr. Armato? And why did he just order one? "Alright, let me order one more," he said. "Sorry sir, all the rooms are taken," she said. Shit, does that mean I will stay in the same room as my boss? "Of course they are, it's a five-star hotel," he said to himself.

I looked at him. He walked away. "Thank you, ma'am," I said to the lady. I followed him. I walked up the stairs to floor eight behind Alex. We walked into a big modern suite, but I just saw one bed. Am I going to stay with him in one room and with one bed?
"There is only one bed," I said to Alex.
"I know."
Oh god, of course, he knows Bella. It's just he is making me nervous. I'm so tired after a long trip. I sat on the couch. Alex sat beside me. "The suit is beautiful," I said. He nodded. "Do you always come to this type of suit when you come here?"
"Yes," he said.

"Let's go out," he said. "Where?" I asked. "We're just going to walk around," he said. Oh yes, I want to see Italy Gate. "Alright, let me change first," I said.
I went to the bathroom. I changed into light blue shorts and a white crop top. I put my hair in a bun. I walked out. I saw Alex in shorts and a T-shirt, wow. I have never seen Alex without a suit, he still looks...hot. "Alright, I'm ready," I said. "Let's go," he said. He walked out. I followed him. We got out of the hotel. We started to walk.
"I can't believe I'm in Italy," I said happily. He smirked. "I'm so glad you took me with you."
I got a big smile on my face.
We both looked at each other. "I had to."
Wow, he sounded like he didn't want me to come. My smile slowly faded. He quickly grabbed my arm and pushed me into him. Our lips got close. A bike quickly went past me fast. Oh, god. If he didn't push me into him I would have been hit by the bike. What a hero.
My hands landed on his chest. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, thank you," I said. He nodded. He slowly let go of me. I cleaned my throat and looked away.
"Watch your steps, Bella."
I looked at him. I nodded as I looked away. He kept walking. I followed him.
We walked past a store. I stopped. I saw a beautiful bracelet. It has a crystal on it. Alex turned around. He stopped. He looked at me.

"Is there something you want to check out here?" He asked. I looked at him. "Yes, can I quickly check something out?" I asked. "Yes, take your time," he said. I smiled and walked inside the store. I bought the bracelet. I walked out to Alex. "I'm done," I said happily. He walked away. I followed him.
