Chapter 6
Belle's POV
When Nikolai pulled over in front of the house, I quickly ran inside and did not look back. I feel like my face has turned blood red in embarrassment. When the rush in my body dissipated, my senses and reason went back and I realized what I did in the car with Nikolai was so humiliating.
"Baby." Nikolai said as he tries to keep up with me. I dare not look at his face. I can't, oh god I just really can't look at him. What could be my future husband think of me now? That her future wife is a closet slut?
I ran as fast as I can inside. I can sense that Nikolai is closing in on me. I entered Alexei's room, slammed the door on Nikolai and locked myself inside.
"Baby, tell me what's wrong?" Nikolai said and he sounds puzzled.
I did not answer him. I just rested my back on the door.
"Was it something that I did? Tell me..." Nikolai's voice is sweet and gentle as he tries to ease me down.
"Just go Nikolai, I'm fine. I'm just. I just can't see you right now."
"Tell me what's the problem so I can fix it." Nikolai you are perfect, it's just me who has a problem.
"Baby you know that I can't sleep without you. If you want to sleep here, that's fine by me, let me in, I want to go to bed with you." Said Nikolai as he pleads to me.
"Where's Alexei? I want to see Alexei." The only person I can look in the eyes and be comfortable with right now is Alexei.
"He's here. Alexei brother she wants to talk to you." Said Nikolai.
Someone cleared his throat. "Ah princess what's wrong? Open the door princess. I'm dying to see your face." Oh god, it's still Nikolai and he's impersonating Alexei's voice. I covered my mouth with my hand. I'm trying so hard to hold back my laughter. My future husband, the Russian Mafia Boss is the sweetest most adorable lover ever. I try so hard to cover my mouth so he can't hear me laugh.
"Princess? I love you princess." Said Nikolai still impersonating Alexei.
I then took a deep breath so I can talk straight. "I know it's you Nikolai! You are not a convincing Alexei at all!" I then hear him soft chuckle.
"Call Alexei now Nikolai."
"Open the door, he's already on the phone." Said Nikolai.
"Don't come in or else I'm going to hate you Nikolai."
He did not answer me.
"Nikolai, I said don't come in if I open the door to get the phone from you, you understand?"
"Yes."
I slowly unlocked the door and made a small opening for the phone. Nikolai handed me the phone, but at the same time he's trying to push his way inside.
"Nikolai!!!!!"
"Baby, you know I can't sleep without you."
I pushed myself as hard as I can to lock the door but Nikolai was already able to push his way inside.
I quickly ran towards Alexei's bed and hid under the covers.
"Don't come near Nikolai!!!!!"
A few seconds past Alexei arrived.
"Do you two need more time?" Said Alexei.
"Nooooo! Alexei come here." I said, horrified by the fact that Nikolai will find his way to me sooner or later.
"What's wrong princess? Why are you under the covers?" Alexei then inserts himself under the covers to face me. We are now face to face as he holds my cheek.
All of a sudden Nikolai slips under the covers at my back and spoons me.
"If you don't want to see my face, at least let me touch you?" Said Nikolai. My poor Nikolai. I suddenly feel so guilty for treating him like this.
I then buried my face on Alexei's neck.
"I'm sorry Nikolai. I'm just so embarrassed to look at you in the eyes right now."
"Why? Is it because, oh." Said Nikolai sounding like he realized something. I then hear his soft chuckle.
I smack his arm that is resting on my waist.
Nikolai then buried his head on my nape as he speaks.
"You were amazing. That was amazing. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Said Nikolai trying to ease me down.
I can feel that Alexei's chest is already moving like he's about to let out a laugh. I know that he already figured out what Nikolai and I are talking about.
I quickly smack Alexei on his chest. I tried to remove myself from him and attempted to sit up but Nikolai and Alexei pulled me back to bed and pinned me with their arms. Alexei removed the covers while Nikolai climbed on my side.
"Open your eyes. Look at me." Said Nikolai.
"No!"
"Okay then, I'm going to place hickeys on your neck, so when you attend school tomorrow, your kids will see that you are full of love." Said Nikolai teasingly.
I then tried to wiggle off from their arms but against the two, I was not able to move even an inch from my position.
"Fine!" I slowly opened my eyes.
I marvel at Nikolai's beautiful green eyes and Alexei's magnetic hazel eyes.
"You are one of a kind baby. I hate to admit this but I can't blame Artan why he wants you this bad. Look at her brother, she will be the death of us." Said Nikolai to Alexei. Alexei then climbed on my other side. To my surprise, Alexei kisses my cheek and rubs the back of his finger on my face.
"She's no doubt extraordinary, brother." Nikolai and Alexei are looking at me like they are inspecting every inch of my face.
Oh gosh could this be more embarrassing?
"Do you know what Artan said to us?" Said Nikolai.
Knowing Artan, I doubt if he was subtle about whatever he said to Nikolai and Alexei.
"He told my brother that he wants you and that you taste amazing." Said Alexei. So that was the reason why they pointed guns at each other.
"Tell me, of all the people in this world, how did the Albanian Mob Boss find you?"
"It was at St. Mary's, Nikolai. That was the time when we were apart. Artan was looking for a personal tutor for his daughter Aria. Dr. Thomas recommended me to him. But it was just one night, since-" "Since what? Tell me everything now."
"Artan went home and I think he's drunk, he-" I swallowed the lump in my throat. "He forced his way to me and kissed me. He saw Aria looking at us that's why he stopped." I paused for a few seconds to collec my thoughts. "I decided to quit my job at Artan's but after several days he came looking for me again at St. Mary's. He was the one who sent me the note, it was attached to a box of roses." Nikolai and Alexei did not look surprised at all.
"I quit the job even if I have already grown to like Aria very much. Did you know that she stopped talking right after her mum died? I was just so hopeful because during that first day, she was responding very well to our activities. She is a very sweet girl Nikolai."
Nikolai is surprisingly calm as I tell him the truth.
"I know, I'm her Godfather."
My eyes widened in surprise.
"You are Aria's Godfather?"
Nikolai just nodded. Oh my god, the more I feel so terrible for causing a rift between Artan and Nikolai.
At this point I don't know if I still want to tell Nikolai about what Artan did to me in the privy.
"I'm sorry Nikolai, I should have told you earlier, I was just afraid of what you might do to Artan. He's the only one left for Aria, Nikolai. The little girl won't be able to survive if something happens to her dad." "Artan should have thought of that before attempting to get in our way. Clearly, the bastard knows what he was doing. Sometime along the way, he knew that you are mine. Having known Artan for a long time, he sees you as a challenge. He will dangle you around like a trophy."
"But I'm not a trophy Nikolai! And I'm not interested in him a single bit, I even conveyed that message to him so many times!"
"We know, but Artan sees you that way. He will have the ultimate bragging right of snatching Volkov's wife. This is how things work in our world princess." Said Alexei.☐☐
