Deprived Love

Chapter 18

Third person's pov

Kissing Bella felt like a dream to Chris. A dream that he never knew he had.

Chris never kissed anyone before. He had some random one night stands but he never kissed. Kissing is a form of romance and he never believed in romance, of course until he met Bella.

It seemed like an aphrodisiac to him as he was drugged by it, yearning and craving for more.

It had been a week after the kiss but still Chris's mind replayed the memory like a broken tape. It gave him warmth and peace.

But what if she was just caught up in the moment as the probability of Bella dating Chris is just next to impossible.

So he shook all the thoughts and the things he was feeling in his chest away and focused on the picture of a certain brunette on his computer screen.

"Do you really think Nicholas was the one who sent the box to Bella with her pictures in it?" Liam questioned sipping on his bubble tea.

Chris turned towards Liam on his rolling chair.

"Of course, it's indeed the work of this motherfucker." He said circling on the brunette's photo on his screen with a manic grin.

"But why did he do that?"

"It's pretty clear that the bastard is stalking my darling. So maybe he knew that I was in her house and sent the box to let me know that he is in action."

"Oh, let's just kidnap him and kill him, Chris. What are you waiting for?"

"If we kill him we won't know the mafia group who is supporting him. He can't do this alone, he has someone's back."

"I agree."

"Is he pestering around my baby?"

"Oh, fuck! Stop calling my sister with these ugly nicknames!" Bella was always like a sister to Liam just like Aria.

"I can't help it, buddy." Chris shrugged.

"No he is not pestering around your baby, Bella is avoiding him as much as I know."

"That's my girl!" Chris said with a proud smile.

And Liam rolled his eyes.

"So what's the plan?" Liam asked, raising his eyebrows.

"We will attend the Oasis party, and I am damn sure he will come there. Let's question him there and we'll see with whom he comes with."

"Great."

"Yeah, I am sipping on this horrible coffee from my canteen." Bella glared at the coffee cup holding it in one hand and the other hand was occupied by the phone call.

"So let's go shopping this weekend then?" Aria said from the other side of the phone.

"Yeah, it's been a while!"

"Okay then see you this weekend."

Bella hummed and shoved the phone carelessly in her bag.

She glanced at the canteen which was empty as the food there was horrible but Bella had no choice.

She missed her alarm and had no time to have her breakfast and her stomach grumbled furiously.

She had been ignoring Nick for the past days after Chris warned her. She just replies to whatever Nick asks without carrying a conversation. And she makes excuses when he asks to hangout.
