'MIA REGINA' ✓

THIRTY ONE

Bella PoV

"Please, Emily. Come on, this is last, I swear." Mel pouted and dragged us to the next shop. The bright light and the expensive shiny jewellery caught my eyes. Everything looks expensive here.

"After this, we're going to eat." I dead panned and she nodded. We've been walking around in the mall for about two hours now. Today we decided to go on shopping as it's been a while since we had fun together. I asked Pearl to give everyone a day off and surprisingly he agreed.

The past couple of weeks has been the best day of my life. Melissa, Emily and I, had girls night to catch up on everything. Much to Pearl's dismay I still hang out with his men's, sometimes. They're really kind and soft person sometime I wonder if they are same mafia who kills people. Everything was good, Antonio decided to stay with Elena till her delivery. Talking about Elena, we solved our problems and decided to let the past go by all means. I call her everyday to check up on her health. I thought talking with her make our bond awkward as she and Pearl had something in the past but she assured me that she doesn't have any feelings for him anymore. I was relieved even though I knew but hearing that from her was a relief.

Pearl and I have connected to a deeper level, somewhere we failed to reach before. He was gentle and polite, not just with me but also with his family. Melissa pointed out that he become more caring and soft towards them which he wasn't before and I was the reason for it. I still shivered at the thought of Pearl loving me. He didn't like to say it out more often, it made him feel uncomfortable, as he quoted. But when we're alone, behind the locked doors. Pearl make sure to whispered every single minute that how much he loves me. I was used to now getting up with him kissing me.

"Aren't you going to buy anything?"

I looked at Emily and shake my head. I already have enough jewellery which Pearl bought for me everyday. No matter how much I scold him for that but he still does it saying,

"voglio viziare la mia regina."
[Translation: I want to spoil my queen.]

My heart flutters everytime he calls me mia regina. There's something about the way he says it. Well he did spoil me ever since everything get normal between us. Even before coming here he gave me his card which I thought was his but apparently he made another one for me. I still didn't get used to all of this. He was supposed to come with us but something urgent came up and he had to cancel our plan. He said he'll be here as soon as his work finishes.

So here we are walking to the different shops from the past two hours. Grace was with us along with Damon and Steve but after a while Grace got tired and they decided to wait for us in the cafeteria. My feet ached from walking continuously and I decided to sit for a while. I watch them looking around for something with a smile on their faces.

Emily walked toward me holding few bags and sat beside me.

"Do you think it's too much?" She asked me worriedly and chuckled looking at her.

"Ofcourse not, soon to be bride." I pinched her already red cheeks as she blushed hard.

Few days ago, Damon and Emily decided their wedding date. It will be simple and sophisticated wedding with only family members and our friends. There's still two months left for the wedding.

"I still can't believe I'm getting married." She said all emotions showing on her face. I take her hand in mine and gave it a squeeze.

"You deserves to be happy." I said and she nodded wrapping her arms around me.

"I love you." She whispered

I smiled, "I love you too, Em."

After we were done with the shopping, we all headed towards the cafeteria where Grace and the guys were waiting for us.
