So I got quite a nice response to the last one. Well, like two people following it... Anyway, here's chapter two and I hope you keep following for chapter 3 :D
December 21st 1970
Weeks were passing quicker than I could imagine, and Christmas was fast approaching. Which meant another two weeks of listening to Bella swoon over my guy. "Rodolphus is amazing." "Roddy is so good in bed." Yes, Bellatrix, I know. I've had him more times than you. She was a year older than Rodolphus, but had managed to weasel her way into his bed, and he didn't even think to stop her. I can remember the argument, and it was horrible, but him dating my sister wasn't going to change anything - he said it wouldn't and proved it by taking me to bed.
"And when she tells you she's completely in love with you?" I mumbled into his chest, tasting the sweat from our third round of the night.
"I tell her she's stupid and love doesn't exist, except when I think about you." I sighed happily at that, but can't help worrying whether it was to make me feel better. Roddy could be the most romantic person ever, but he would also say anything to keep you quiet.
"Is she inviting you over for Christmas dinner?" I question, and the sarcasm and jealousy was dripping through my words. This was supposed to be the Christmas I told Andi I was dating Roddy, even if it's in secret.
"Not yet. Which I'm glad for," he replied, rolling over and claiming my lips, to which I eagerly respond. But my curiosity gets the better of me.
"What if she does and doesn't take no for an answer?" I grumble, my lips moving against his as he attempted to shut me up for the third time this evening. Eventually he gave up and just looked down at me, his elbow supporting his weight as he stroked down my stomach. I wasn't conscious about my body anymore, not since we had started seeing each other. "Because this is BellaBitch we're talking about." His laugh makes me smile, just as it always had.
December 27th 1970
A week later we're sat across the table from each other, and I wasn't impressed with the layout of the night. Mother and father were either side of me while Andi sat at the head of the table. I could tell from the concentration on his face that Roddy was getting some extra attention from Bella's hand. It's only when she starts talking about their relationship that I stand. "May I be excused?" Getting a look of an apology from Roddy, I push away from the table and make my way straight to my room. I was glad that I was the youngest, it meant Andi and Bella shared a room and I got my own.
I never stayed in my room that night, I couldn't sleep and I was too angry to just sit around and wait for sleep to take me. The walkway to the private garden at the back of our manor was longer during the night, simply because of the trees and the way they move in the wind. It all fascinates me, actually. The beauty of the darkness.
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" he speaks behind me, his sultry voice quiet and alluring and I know exactly what his plan is.
Without turning around, I reply while keeping my voice as steady as possible. "Shouldn't you be letting my sister ride you while making sure you don't wake Andromeda?" The scoff I get proves my theory that he had just come from a sex-session. "You're despicable..."
Without another word, my feet start moving towards the pillared gate at the end of the path, running and stumbling on anything in the way. The tears weren't welcome to me, and they certainly weren't welcome to the situation. "Cissa!"
Finding my curled up in a ball of tears probably wasn't his plan for the night, but it was how Rodolphus found me anyway. "I love you, not her. This is only so we can have a cover story."
"I don't want a fucking cover story, I want what she has! I want you openly and public!" I didn't care how loud I shouted, it was enough for him to see sense.
"Fine, you want me. You have me." And he was gone, just like that. I didn't know what to think, what to say or what to do, so I just stayed there, waiting. But he never came back.
I feel like the story is moving too quick, but it's not because its going to be going on foreeeeever. Rate and review please?!
