LOVE FOOLS
Niggling troubles
I went to open the door. It was my brother; he had came to discuss something related to my office work. As it was urgent, I went with him half heartedly cursing my fate!
While discussing office work my mind was still wandering about our sweet moment. I realized that Bella was responding to my touch, I had tried so many ways to make her talk to me freely but nothing worked .
So I decided to show Bella my love by my touches and kisses then may be Bella would open up to me more and at the same time I decided not to make her uncomfortable.
I came back after half an hour and found that Bella was sleeping peacefully.
I had half expected that Bella would be awake waiting for me and we could talk .
I was disappointed and taking a heavy breath, I took my night clothes and went to bathroom to change.
After few minutes I came out and settled beside Bella on bed. I looked at Bella's face Bella. Her breath was even. I couldn't help but smile at how cute Bella was looking in her sleep.
I leaned forward and kissed Bella on Bella's forehead and covering both of us with blanket.
I was admiring her chocolate brown hair and rosy lips .
After a few moments I moved close to Bella and slowly lifted her head and placed it on my chest ,wrapping my arm around Bella .
Hugging her tightly, I kissed Bella's head and slowly drifted to sleep peacefully finally after 2 months.
Next day I woke up and found Bella's side of bed empty. I made a note to myself to tell Bella to be in our room when I woke up from sleep. I always wished to see Bella when I woke up early morning but unfortunately that didn't happen even once.
Sighing I went to bathroom to take a shower. When I came to living room, all were waiting for me. Emily asked Bella to sit beside me. She started serving food but I wanted Bella to serve me ,so I asked her to fill my plate with salad which is near her .
Bella finished breakfast quickly as Ethan was pestering her to give him some chocolates, so Bella took him to kitchen.
While eating, my brother told me that they are planning to go Bangalore that day for house warming party of my sis-in-law's brother, and also they are taking mom with them. I just nodded my head thinking why they are not asking us to accompany them.
After finishing breakfast when I was about to go to our room to get ready, my brother stopped me, and took me aside .He told me that he had planned this trip for 3 days to give us privacy and also told me to enjoy ourselves as nobody will be in home except us.
I blushed and thanked him. I reached our room and saw Bella folding the dried clothes and keeping them in cupboard.
I silently came in and hugged Bella from behind. She was shocked and tried to free herself saying someone might come.
Sighing, I released Bella and turned her around so that we can face each other.
I moved towards Bella's ear and whispered huskily." Am leaving Bella now but tonight nobody is gonna disturb us"
Bella looked at me confusedly and God ! She looked so adorable .
" Because everyone is starting to Bangalore in few hours, only we both will be in home. We will have all the house to ourselves for 3 days" saying this I winked at Bella and kissed on herr cheek. I noticed how Bella's mouth formed to an O . I chuckled and went near the door.
Before stepping out, I turned back, walked towards the table picked a packet and placed it in Bella's hands.
"Wear this tonight. Cannot wait to see you in this. I will try to come home early. Bye!" saying this I went to office.
That packet had a black gown in it which I had bought it for Bella . I had thought to give it Bella previous night but she was sleeping.
I was excited for to finally spend some quality time with her at night .
At 6 in the evening I started to leave, but to my bad luck my manager came to me and asked to complete some presentation before leaving.
Cursing my fate and my manager, I started doing that and tried my best to complete it as soon as possible.
By the time I finished my work it was 8 pm. I rushed to home but due to traffic it took me an hour to reach home.
I excitedly pressed the calling bell and was eagerly waiting to see Bella in that dress. I heard footsteps and realized that Bella was coming to open the door.
When the door opened I rushed in and hugged Bella tightly whispering how much I missed her.
Bella didn't hug me back to my dismay , after few seconds I released her hearing a throat clearing sound.
I turned to see that 3 girls were sitting there on sofa and looking at us smiling and blushing. I slightly blushed, moving away from Bella and muttered a 'sorry'.
After few minutes of silence, Bella introduced them to me and told me that they were her close friends, who had came to meet her .
I talked to them for few more minutes and excused myself to take a shower and rushed to our room.
After having a shower I came to living room and saw that Bella was immersed in discussion with her friends . I stood there silently and watched Bella for sometime then I realized that Bella was not wearing the dress which I had gifted to her earlier.
I noticed that the time was almost 11 pm and wondered why Bella's friends were still here as it was getting late.
I went to kitchen to drink water. After few minutes Bella came and was searching for something. I hugged Bella from behind and kissed her side face.
" Did you open that packet?"
"Yeah."
" Don't you like it ?"
"It was nice. Thanks"
"Then why didn't you wear that ?"
"When I was about to wear it , my friends came, so didn't get a chance to change as we were immersed in our discussions"
"OK ; no problem. When they leave, you can wear it then" I said smiling and turned Bella around in my arms.
I was excited to make this night wonderful for both of us."Whoa... "
"What?" I asked surprised
"Actually, they planned a girls night today and came here unexpectedly. They...they..want to stay here tonight. " Bella said looking at me sadly.
Hearing Bella's reply all my plans vanished. I was utterly disappointed but as usual, hid my feelings and faked a smile.
I cupped Bella's cheeks in my hands and kissed on her forehead and told her to enjoy .
I went to talk with Bella's friends and told them to make themselves comfortable.
Bella friends said thanks and told how happy they were when they got a call from Bella this morning and asked them to come to our home.
I was shocked. Few minutes back in kitchen, Bella told me that they came unexpectedly and planned for a girls night .
Bella just lied on my face , she was the one who planned and asked them to come .
I was really sad and angry not because of her friends visit but it was Bella's lie that made me angry.
What was the need to tell lies, if Bella wanted them, she could have called them. Nobody is stopping Bella or saying anything against her wish in this house.
I smiled awkwardly and went to our room. Lots of questions popped up in my mind.
Did Bella just called them to stay away from me? Is this the actual reason behind her lie?
Is she that scared to stay alone with me in house that Bella asked her friends to give company?
Doesn't she want to spend time with me alone?
As I was so engrossed in my thoughts, I heard the door open that I didn't look up to see.
I knew Bella's presence in the room, but I don't want to say anything in my anger which I will regret later, so I kept my mouth shut
Few more minutes had passed, I heard Bella coughing trying to gain my attention.
"Why did you lie to me?"
"Am sorry, it has been a long time since I met my friends, moreover nobody is there at home so I thought to spend some time with them . So I called them."
"Bella , you could have said this before itself ,right! Then why did you lie to me that your friends planned this ?"
"I was scared that you might not like having my friends in home; so I lied."
"This is your home as well, Bella .You are free to call your friends."
"Sorry!"
"Fine. But don't lie to me ever again " I said to her softly now .
"Ok"
Though I was not convinced with Bella's explanation, I let it go." Go, take care and have fun."
"Do you need anything ?"
"No,am good"
"OK ..good night"
"Good night"
Bella left the room. I was really confused and frustrated, lot of questions were going on my mind. I thought to make this night different from previous nights but it turned out to be a bad night.
I hate lies, especially I hate it when the person I love the most lie to me. I know it is a very small lie but it is not necessary to lie especially when our relation is not normal like other married couples.
I didn't came out that night and sleep was far away from me. After a lot of tossing & turning on bed, I tried to forget that incident as there is no use thinking about it and decided to make sure that Bella never lied to me. I slept very late that night thinking about the matter .
Next day when I woke up, Bella's friends had left for their places already.
Neither of us ,talked about previous night. After having breakfast, I went to my office.
While entering office, I got a call from my best friend and he invited me to a party as he is celebrating his third anniversary and asked me to bring Bella as he didn't attend our marriage due to some personal problem. After our marriage got fixed I didn't met him due to his busy schedule but we always were in touch through phone calls.
At first I thought to skip the party but later decided to take Bella as we both didn't went out after marriage .
I want to introduce my friends and their families to Bella, so that she can be friends with their wives.
I called Bella and told her to be ready by 7' o clock. When I came home, Bella was ready wearing a red one shoulder gown ,looking beautiful as usual .the epitome of female composing myself from drooling on Bella .
We went in the car after I changed for the evening and reached the restaurant on time .
I introduced Bella to my friends and let her mingle .
After sometime, I was sitting at bar counter sipping a beer. I am a social drinker. I didn't want to drink alcohol that night as I thought Bella won't like it.
My friends were having shots and after few minutes some started talking about their married life, how their life has changed after marriage and how they are being treated in home by their wives and bachelors started talking about their girlfriends.
I kept quite just listening to their conversation as I knew some of them were high due to the drinks.
I was looking around for Bella and found her still talking to other women. As I was engrossed watching Bella , observing her every move I felt a tap in my shoulder.
I turned and found my friend watching me with naughty glint in his eyes.
"What?"
"Nothing ...just watching my friend who is drooling over his wife."
"Erm..I ...I was not drooling. I.. Was just looking at her "
