BELLINGHAM'S GIRL (under editing)

CHAPTER ONE: Suprise

I was sleeping when I heard a loud bang on my door. I stood up and opened the door and was surprised to see my best friend Joyce in front of me.
"OMG girl, I thought you were coming back tomorrow," I asked
"Yeah, I lied" she replied "I wanted to surprise you. You didn't think I would miss your birthday, did you?"
"Thank goodness! I don't know how I would've survived without you" I replied
"What happened?" She asked. "You didn't tell me you were troubled when we spoke on the phone yesterday," She said
"I know. I wanted you to spend time with your dad and not worry about me, you're finally getting to know and understand each other."
"Yeah," she replied. "So what happened?"
"I broke up with Liam yesterday. Turns out he was cheating on me with Amanda"
OMG babe, I'm so sorry. You should've told me."
"It's okay" I replied. "Things happen. I can't believe he could cheat on me, he begged me to like him." But it's fine"
"It's okay girl, now get dressed, I'm taking you out" she said.
"Where to? I was planning to make edits of my man all day"
"Your birthday is tomorrow girl, we're gonna go get you a dress" she answered. "We'll make edits of Bellingham together."
'Fine. I said as I dragged my lazy self out of bed to shower and get ready.

Oops, here's a little introduction.
I'm Bella Blackstone, I'm in my second year at Technische Universität München (TUM) and I'm studying Business and Management. I live in Germany with my parents (Nigerian mom and German dad) and two siblings (an elder brother and a younger sister). My siblings look like dad while I look like mom. My parents are wealthy and I'm a trust fund kid but I don't let it get to my head. I'm single as you can tell and I'm the biggest fan of Jude Bellingham. My room is covered in my man's wallpaper. I attend almost every single game of his. Tomorrow is my
birthday, I'm finally turning 18

"Bellaaaaaaaaaaaaa" I heard Joyce scream from the room.
"What is it" I shouted as I brushed my teeth.
"Jude updated his story on Instagram and it's hot" she answered.
"Let me see" I said as I rinsed my mouth. She gave me her phone and I gasped. It was a shirtless picture of Jude, he gave a little boy his jersey shirt. How cute.

I gave her back her phone after I was done drooling and went back to the bathroom to take care of my business. After that, I dressed up and we left the house, the driver took us to the mall. We entered Dior and surprisingly, my bestie and bestie had a surprise for me.
"Mom said to get you a dress since I knew your style better, so I contacted them and asked them to make two dresses cos I wanted you to have options." She said.

My heart melted. The first dress was a purple short flare gown, it was sleeveless with a low cut at the back, and it also had a cute bow at the back. The front was ruffled with butterfly patterns that looked classy.
The second dress was a purple short gown that would stick to my slim thick curvy body like gum, it was sleeveless too but it had a ruffled pattern around the shoulder. It was made with rubber material so there was no slit at the back or front.
It was decorated with beads and pearls and I fell in love with it instantly. I imagined how it would sparkle when I made an appearance at my birthday party tomorrow.
I looked at Joyce and she smiled at me with a face that said "Well, make your choice"
" I'll take this one," I said showing the dress in my hand. "I knew it" Joyce exclaimed. "I worked on this design myself," she said.
"Wow" I was shocked.
"You're good at this babes. This is nice." I said as I kept on looking at the dress.
'We'll just package this for you ma'am, the payment has already been made" a worker said and I looked at Joyce in confusion.
"Mom" she answered my unasked question.
"Oh yeah," I said. "Let's go then"
We were about to leave when I remembered we didn"t get any jewelry or shoes.
"What about the shoes and jewelry?" I asked Joyce.
"oh that" she replied. "Mom told a designer to pick the shoes and accessories to go with the dress you chose."
"Which designer?" I asked. " I, of course" She replied.
" I love you" I mouthed. "I know, who wouldn't" she replied.
"Shut up," I said and we laughed. We shopped for Joyce's dress and got perfumes before home.

When we got home, we met my siblings watching a movie in the living room.
"Well look who's back home" my elder brother Benson said
"Shut up bee" I replied "Stop calling me that" he said
'Never."
"Is mom back?" I asked Bianca (my sister)
"Yeah, she's in her room" she replied. "Hi J" she greeted Joyce who responded as they hugged.
"Ok," I said as I went upstairs to meet Mom. The maids had already taken all we bought to my room.
"Hey, Pretty lady. I almost didn't see you there" I heard my silly brother say to Joyce and I shook my head.
I know that Benson has had a crush on Joyce since we were 12. She does too but those dumb heads refused to admit it.

I got to Mom's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in" I heard her say. "Mama" I shouted as I jumped on her body.
"Lafiya? (is everything okay?)" she asked in hausa (her language) as I kept hugging her.
"Everything's good mama, I love you so much," I said as I released her to look at her
She understood what I was talking about so she hugged me and said "Anything for you my princess"
"The dress is really pretty mom, Nagode (thank you)"
"You're welcome baby" she replied
"Are we interrupting something?" Bianca and Joyce asked as they came into the room.
"Yes, you are" I replied. "Shut up," Bianca said.
"Bianca!" mom yelled. "Sorry," Bianca murmured.
"My baby," I said to Joyce. "How have you been? I've missed you. How are your parents? Come hug me."
"One at a time Mom," I laughed.
"Haha" Joyce laughed. I'm good mom, I've missed you too" She hugged Mom. "My parents are fine, dad went back to America and Mom came back with me."
"That's good" Mom replied. "I knew I could count on you for the surprise, thank you"
"It's fine Mom, anything for you" Joyce said and Mom smiled.
"Hello! Am I invisible or what" Bianca said.
"Don't be jealous baby, we had our moment before the girls came back." Mom said and I stuck out my tongue at Bianca.
"Yeah, yeah" Bianca replied and left to finish her movie

Just then, Joyce's mom called her to say that she was going on an urgent business trip and she wouldn't be back until after three days.
She also talked to me and apologized for not making it to my party, she said she would make it up to me.
She said hi to Mom too and we all retired to our rooms.
Joyce decided to spend the night with us so she doesn't get bored alone at home (she's an only child). It's not her first time sleeping over anyway. Her mom was always busy with work and her dad recently came back into her life. Her mom was a single mother before her dad and mom decided to patch things up. Now they are almost back together (they are going to get remarried soon).

Joyce and I went to my room to freshen up after we had eaten. We did our skincare and decide to call it night.
"I Can't wait for tomorrow," I said to Joyce as I jumped on the king-sized bed.
"Same here girl, It's going to be the talk of college since school is resuming three days after your birthday. I can't wait to see Eve's face when we resume" She replied
"I know right, I miss school," I said.
" Eww girl eww," Joyce said and we laughed.
"Goodnight babes," she said
Goodnight babe" I replied.
I closed my eyes and imagined how tomorrow would be. I couldn't sleep early so I watched edits of my man before I slept off.
