LOVE THE WAY I AM

CHAPTER 26

★★BELLA★★

    "What is it freckles" he asked impatiently while turning back.

      Looking at his scary face, "Nothing." I say.  I will ask another time, what if he gets so annoyed?

       "I am going to bed. Don't make unusual noises ok?" He left.

       I stood In front of the mirror, for the first time, I appreciate my color, my face. I tied my hair ponytail. Went to the wardrobe, brought a lipstick. Hehe, I bought this for so long but I'm never good at this so I gave up.

       I put a little on my lip and rub it evenly on every part. I can say, I look beautiful today.

      I feel my earlobe. Never had any piercing and I now feel like I need to do it.

    I opened my mother's favorites jewelry piece. Lisa collected everything but could not take this, it's so special to me, I hide it far away.

   I put on the necklace and hold the earring. I look like my mom. I lift my face up and and raised my lips. I want to smile exactly as she does.

       "Bella i-" he walked in. "Whoa...What are you doing?" he asked. His mouth dropped.

       "Noth- nothing." I dropped the necklace and earrings on the small table.

       "Lemme see. You look so ugly." He walked over and ruffle my hair. "Better like this"

        I frown... "You want me to look like this, then i won't look like a girl. What do you take me for?"

        He picked the earrings fromthe table. "Well definitely, I don't take you as a woman... You're a little 'boy,' why then do you need to wear all these, throw them away" he made his way to the trash.

      "Give me that!" I force the earrings from his hand. "It's my mother's"

        I open the box, about to keep it... "Sorry, i was trying to joke with you, seems you don't like jokes, you're so cold. Wear them lemme see." He say.

      He picked the necklace, He's so close to me, he fix it on my neck and hook it properly, collected the earrings. "You have no piercings? How do you intend to wear this?"

        I put my face down. "Do you want me to make piercings for you? I can help."

       "How, you can't pierce a hole, there's no tools here."
    
        "Tsk... I'm a pro." He collected one pierce. "Hold me tight, pinch me as you want but do not move" he pulled me close to himself.

       "Stay still Bella, it's gonna hurt a bit."

       I closed my tightly, hugging him softly hard.
"OK... Stay still."
   
      He used the pin to pierce a hole through my Ear.

     "Aww..." I moan softly. It pain with a little sweetness. He pierced the other ear. I pinch him so hard."ouch, you imp." He smiled "done."

       I turned to look at the mirror, my ears are bleeding a little. "Thank you." I tell him.

      He used his hand to clean the lipstick. "It's so much on you, next time, rub a little" before turning to the door to leave. "And by the way, you look pretty".

       After he leaves the room, i feel so hyper, i covered my mouth with the pillow and scream... Luckily, my voice can't be heard so loud.

          I start to remember all that happened today. He kissed me on my lips, twice. He was so closed to me... Ohh...!

     My cheek flushed red with shyness.

        ❍.........❍

        I didn't go to work today, my face still hasn't heal enough and i don't want to go out hideous.
 
        Today, he has a hard face, like he is not nice to me last night. He is not smiling,just tuning the channels. He hissed. I've been admiring his facial features since i saw his face this morning. Now he feels like my mirror. I can't stop staring, and to tell you the truth, this stupid knife almost diced my hand... And twice.

      "Mr Richard, you looked pissed off, may i know your problem?" He did not reply.  "Mr richard?"

       "What is it Bella? You are not my wife, are you? I don't have to tell you everything about me do i?"

      "Am sorry, i just thought i could help you" i turned to the vegetables was cutting.
       
        "Don't stare at me so much, when you cut your fingers, I'm not good with wounds like you are, and i definitely won't take you to a hospital, i hate them" he got up... I'm going to town, i may not be back tonight, if anyone comes to ask of me, you don't know me.

      Why does he repeatedly say, i don't know him?

     He walked out of the house.
